"Who? Who's talking?"

The sudden sound made Donald's attention instantly highly concentrated. Although his mental power was still not spread out, his eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings.

"I'm right in front of you."

The sound was still thick and low, and Donald followed the sound and looked forward, only the giant tree man appeared in his field of vision.

"Aren't you... awake?"

Staring at the tree man, the word "death" almost blurted out, and when it reached his mouth, he swallowed it abruptly, turning it into a greeting.

In case the demigod didn't die, Donald and Stephanie's trespassing into the secret realm would be enough for each other to crush them to death here.

"No need to guess, as early as a few decades ago, I was completely withered and died, and what is left now is just a part of my soul."

This time, accompanied by the voice, there was a dark green light at the foot of the giant tree man. There was an old man in a green robe, with gray hair and a kind face, holding a scepter made of vines in his hand and slowly walked out.

The old man just walked up to Donald and looked him in the eyes.

"You came here by fate, future guardian of the forest!"

Donald knew every word in those words, but it was a bit difficult for him to comprehend them together.

The choice of fate?

The future guardian of the forest?

"I don't understand what you mean."

Subconsciously, he took two steps back to distance himself. Although Donald didn't want to admit that he was afraid, facing a former demigod, his body responded first.

"You will understand when you see the scene in the prophecy. I need a successor to inherit my everything and protect this forest for me in the coming disaster!"

The old man waved his scepter and pointed at the low table, and a dark green crystal appeared on it, and then said,

"Now, sit in front of that low table. The crystal records the vision of the future I saw with mysticism before I died."

Donald turned slightly sideways, glanced at the huge number of wood elves behind him, pursed his lips, and walked towards the low table.

Behind him, the kind old man had the same smile on his face, and the indifference in his eyes when he looked at Donald's back was the same.

Sitting down at the low table, under the watchful eyes of the old man and Stephanie, Donald's hand stretched out to the crystal. He didn't need spiritual penetration and perception, just the moment his fingertips touched, the crystal was filled with splendid colors. projected out.

At first, it was just some fluctuating spectrum, some like aurora, and then the light gradually converged and finally condensed in one light spot.

Of course, the eyes of Donald and Stephanie converged on it, and the ball of light suddenly burst into a dazzling light.

"Sigh~"

Rao was Donald, and he couldn't help but close his eyes when they were exposed to strong light without any precaution.

When he opened his eyes again, the surrounding scene was not the secret cave he was in the previous second, but returned to the Howling Forest.

It's just that Donald came in early in the morning, but now it's late at night.

"Donald, if I remember correctly, didn't the sun just rise outside when we came in?"

Stephanie was also affected, and walked to Donald, looking at the surrounding environment vigilantly, trying to find Anthony and the others.

"This should be the prophecy that the one who let us see just now, but isn't this an ordinary woodland, where did it come from..."

His eyes were inadvertently cast to the sky in the distance, and the next second Donald stayed where he was.

Stephanie followed Donald's gaze and saw a starry night sky.

At first glance, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, it was still the night sky and the stars, but when she took a few more glances, she felt that something was wrong.

The starry sky in front of me is missing something...

This idea may sound absurd, but it is the personal feeling of Stephanie and Donald.

Not because the clouds at night obscured the starlight, nor because the two of them had problems with their eyesight due to the impact of the strong light just now.

This starry sky is broken!

Just within a few minutes of Donald appearing here, he saw that there were no less than six places in the starry sky, and the stars that were supposed to exist in those places did not know where they went.

"The gods raised their respective thrones to the stars in the chants of the mortals, and looked down on the world from the sanctuary of the unsullied..."

This was the content recorded in several religious popular readings on the bookshelf when Donald lived in Preston's home, but it made him a little dazed to think about it now.

Does the broken starry sky in front of you mean some kind of possibility that mortals can't imagine?

Boom~ boom~ boom~

A series of blasting sounds suddenly came from the distance of the forest. Donald turned his head to look over. The first thing that caught his eye was the sky-high firelight and the extremely strange-looking beings suspended in the middle of the forest.

Donald didn't know how to describe those monsters clearly. They were like a mass of products that were distorted by the accumulation of dirt from various sewers. The shape was slightly like a hydra, but it was definitely thousands of times more terrifying!

They roamed the air, and wherever they passed, screeching winds swept the woodlands and uprooted trees!

"Donald...is that person you?"

Stephanie pointed to the woodland ahead to the right, where a man very similar to Donald was rushing towards them.

After getting closer, I saw that it was Donald... To be exact, it should be the future Donald.

Behind him, there are some followers, including several people in the current carriage team and some humans that Donald does not know, who seem to be his subordinates.

"Anthony, you take a group to the east, Lilo, you take a group to the west, Stephanie and Julia follow me, we must stop the momentum of the disaster before it expands, I will let the tree people to help you."

Right in front of Donald's eyes, the future he gave orders to everyone, and a huge number of tree people rose up around the team in the next second, carrying Anthony and the others around them and striding forward.

"How can you summon this kind of tree man, is it really like the old man said, you have become the guardian of the Howling Forest?"

Stephanie's eyes flashed with brilliance. For her, Donald's strength was one of her few expectations, not to mention that the identity of the guardian sounded very stylish.

"It's possible, could it be that what he said is true?"

While speaking with his mouth, Donald's eyes were always on Lilo in the future.

At this time, she was standing on top of a tree man, holding a long sword, and led a few people to the west.

Untraceable pouted, Donald put his hands in his pockets. If anyone stood in front of him at this time, he would find that his eyes were actually out of focus.

Donald is thinking.

Because of one thing only he knows...

hum~

The momentary buzzing in his head made Donald bend over involuntarily, and Stephanie covered her head, apparently having the same symptoms as him.

This sound was quickly replaced by another, louder sound.

"Kill! Kill those monsters!"

Someone was shouting, the words were full of killing intent, Donald raised his head, and the surrounding scene became a city he had never seen before, and he and Stephanie were located on the city's central avenue.

On their left, there was an army in uniformed uniforms, armed with steam guns, arranged in an array, constantly firing towards the front, with the smoke rising from the muzzle, Donald watched as the bullets penetrated own body, flying to the other end.

Her eyes looked to the other side with the trajectory of the bullet, Stephanie's hands were tightly clasping Donald's sleeves, although she knew that this was just an illusion, and what appeared here could not hurt her, but this It didn't stop her from feeling scared.

Because the other side of the street is like **** on earth!

Large pieces of broken building ruins appeared, and twisted human corpses were scattered all over the ruins, and beside these corpses, a group of tall monsters with black bristles and four arms were running towards this side, and they The head is particularly striking.

In fact, instead of saying that it was the head of a monster, Donald would rather call it a large, vertically growing mouth, with two scarlet eyes growing on the left and right sides of the mouth, which was particularly disgusting.

Donald couldn't really think about whether there was a brain inside such a head, because just thinking about where these monsters came from took most of his energy.

"Donald, heaven...what's that in heaven?"

Stephanie raised her hand and pointed to the night sky. Under the still broken starry sky, a "dark cloud" was floating.

Seeing it in full after getting closer, Donald only felt a chill rise from his back.

It was clearly a hybrid monster of hundreds of bat-winged human beings that were crossed from beasts!

The light was dim at this time, and all the pictures in front of him turned into light again, returning to the original spectral state.

"This is only part of the prophecy, and when I saw your performance in this prophecy scene, I knew that one day you will come here, inherit all I have, become the guardian of this forest, and at the same time become their god!"

The old man put away the crystal again, looked at Donald and said.

"But isn't this a bit sloppy, if my abilities are not compatible with your abilities, after all, I only know some superficial little spells, and my abilities are only able to give some dead things a short life... "

Donald said in a "frightened" voice~lightnovelpub.net~ You are the one chosen by fate, your ability and my strength are extremely matched, otherwise you would not be able to come here, waiting for you to inherit my strength , will naturally understand. "

The old man seemed to be ready to speak long ago and replied with a smile.

"So that's the case, then how should I inherit your power?"

With just the right look of surprise, Donald seemed impatient.

"It's very simple. I keep all the power in a tree heart. As long as you eat it, you will automatically inherit everything from me. The rest just takes time to digest."

Looking at the expectant youth, the old man nodded with satisfaction.

No one can resist the temptation to become the heir of a demigod, can they?
