Douluo: Zodiac Tower

Chapter 53 The Goddess of the Forest
The name of the boy in the hat is Allen, he is an aborigine in Jiangxin Town, and he has lived on the island since he was a child.

Seeing that two silly birds collided with the barrier of the forbidden area today, they immediately trotted over, intending to catch the birds and roast them to eat.

But as soon as he approached, a purple light shot at him.

"No... chirp chirp..."

The purple light covered Allen's whole body in an instant, and the screams turned into the cries of chicks in an instant.

Outside the wooden house, Brooks, the envoy who was walking at the end and was about to close the door, scanned the surroundings and found nothing unusual, so he closed the door immediately.

After the three of them entered the cabin, Captain Jason lifted the carpet and pulled the wooden boards to reveal a tunnel leading underground.

After walking in the tunnel for a while, the three of them came to a dark secret room.

Oil lamps are the only light here.

In the secret room was a hooded man, his hands and feet were shackled to an iron chair welded to the floor, his mouth was blocked by a rag, and his body shaking occasionally because of the cold and fear indicated that he was still alive.

There were still a few people covering their faces with black cloths standing around them. Seeing the arrival of the divine envoy, they saluted and then left the room silently.

The god envoy Brooks lifted the hood of the bound man, and it turned out that he was one of the members of the soul hunting team that was on the same boat as Ning Que.

Corris is 26 years old, a 27th-level auxiliary soul master. When the headgear was taken off, he glanced at several people in the room, with panic in his eyes, and yelled "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" , I don't know what he wants to say.

Noble Robbie Kai frowned slightly when he saw this person: "This is not the soul emperor named Yan Guiren."

Captain Jason said: "They are gone, our people are looking for them, and we will replace them with this person first."

The envoy Brooks nodded, with a solemn expression, and said gently to the bound Koris: "My brother, don't be afraid, I promise you, no one will hurt you here, the goddess of the forest, I will be with you and me, and You will be born again in the glory of God."

"Woooooooo..."

Corris was frightened and angry, and struggled desperately, but unfortunately, his whole body was so weak that he couldn't break free from the shackles on the chair.

While Brooks was speaking, Captain Jason had already walked behind Corris, pulled out the dagger with a numb face, and wiped Corris' neck neatly.

Judging from his skilled movements, he must have done a lot of things like this.

Blood gushed out immediately, flowing down Corlis's body, and then flowing further down in the groove of the floor.

The envoy Brooks did not change his face, and said to Captain Jason: "Find those two people. Their blood is the best sacrifice to God. They cannot leave this island alive."

"Yes, Lord Divine Envoy."

……

the other side.

Ning Que and Su Jiu'er grabbed Ai Lun, the boy in the hat, and came to the south of the island.

This is a cliff. Ning Que used the transformation light to restore Alan to his human form, and asked, "Where was the wooden house just now?"

After Alan transformed from a baby bird back into a human, he looked at Ning Que and Su Jiu'er in horror, and wanted to run away, but he was blocked in front of him, and there was a cliff behind him.

Hearing Ning Que's question, he said vaguely, "I don't know either. I only know that it is a forbidden area on the island. I heard from the adults in the town that it is the place where the Goddess of the Forest lives."

"Tell me, what is the origin of this forest goddess."

Ning Que sat on a rock with his chin propped on his hands, and became interested in the goddess that Koris was talking about.

Su Jiu'er didn't take it seriously. As a 10-year-old soul beast, she naturally knew that gods existed.

But which one of the gods is not high above, how can they live in a dilapidated wooden house, most of them are pretending to be ghosts.

Ning Que had the same idea as Su Jiu'er, but he still planned to understand the situation before making any plans.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

Although he has confidence in his own strength, Ning Que is not a reckless person, and the way to survive is to think before acting.

He is far from being invincible in the world, and he relies on recklessness in everything. If he mentions the iron plate one day, it may be his own death.

Seeing that Ning Que and Su Jiu'er were trying to pinch him to death, and the mental shadow of being a baby bird before, Corlis dared not resist, so he immediately told what he knew.

The legend about the goddess of the forest comes from 15 years ago.

At that time, Jiangxin Island was still an isolated island with no grass growing, until one day, the envoy Brooks met the "Goddess of the Forest" on the island.

Under the gift of the goddess, this isolated island was full of vitality. Later, more and more people moved to live on the island, leading a rich and happy life...

The story is very fairy tale, but Ning Que and Su Jiu'er are skeptical.

Looking at Su Jiu'er, Ning Que asked, "Do you believe in religion?"

"Do not believe."

Su Jiuer shook her head and asked, "Do you believe it?"

Ning Que smiled and said, "I don't believe it either, no decent person believes in religion."

"You offend the goddess of the forest, and you will be punished by God."

Koris is also a believer. Seeing that Ning Que and Su Jiu'er were so dismissive of the Goddess of the Forest, he didn't know where the courage came from. Instead of being cowardly, he wanted to step forward and pull the two of them to jump off the cliff and die together.

It's a pity that he is just an ordinary person without soul power, and in a blink of an eye, he is shot by the transformation light and turns into a little hedgehog.

Su Jiuer asked, "Shall we go back to town now?"

"Find out their details first."

Ning Que activated the transformation light, transformed into Koris in an instant, and then turned Su Jiu'er into a squirrel and put it in his pocket.

The fourth soul skill, Transforming into Light, allows Ning Que to change his appearance at will. It can be said that it is a must-have magic skill when going out, traveling at home, killing people and setting fires.

After becoming Alan, Ning Que returned to the small town in a big way.

At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, the sky is overcast, and it is raining lightly.

The town looked a little hazy.

In the distance, a carriage passed the street, the uneven stone floor was relatively bumpy, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and while the wildebeest neighed, a corner of the black cloth on the carriage was blown away by the wind, revealing a withered arm with a cross on it. Scar.

[It's a member of the Soul Hunting Team. 】

When I was on the boat yesterday, several members of the soul hunting team were fighting, and Ning Que saw that one of them had a cross scar on his hand in the same position.

But that was a young man of a strong man, but the arm just now looked like the arm of a bony old man, completely skinny, as if it had been hollowed out by something.

[It didn't take long for someone to be killed. It's likely not just this one, maybe I was also the target of these people. 】

The rain and fog were getting heavier and heavier, and some houses on both sides of the street were brightly lit. Ning Que turned a corner through a narrow door and walked up a thick carpeted staircase, where he could hear some chaotic words and low-pitched music.

This is a bar.

It has a western style. When you walk into it, you can see dancing in the lobby, and there are a few familiar people on the same boat.

But most of them are relatively unfamiliar local residents.
