Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws.

kill!

Seeing the person in front of him, Rune took out Destiny without hesitation.

Pull the trigger!

The gun, which had not been in battle for a long time, vibrated slightly as it spit out large lead bullets.

Like cheering for getting back into the fight.

The broken shrapnel fell on the sailors in front, instantly turning them into sieves.

Several sailors were reduced to broken limbs and scattered all over the ground.

Rune did not congratulate himself for successfully killing them. Instead, he immediately turned the gun around and fired a shot behind him.

Several pirates behind him also died instantly.

After repeatedly looking around and confirming that there were no more threats around, Rune slowly walked forward.

The forbidden forest is now more dangerous than before!

The last time I came here, I encountered many different incidents, and if I didn't handle them well, I would die.

But now, there are many other people entering the forest.

It can even be said that everyone who enters the forest is a potential competitor.

There are many cases like the one just now where people start fighting without saying a word.

At the same time, under the rule of the Forbidden Forest "you cannot go back, you cannot change direction, and you must move forward along the road", a sneak attack or being attacked is just a matter of a moment.

People at the front have a natural disadvantage when fighting!

In addition, the random location of entering the forest adds a lot of uncertainty to the battle.

Just like when Rune entered the forbidden forest just now, he was caught in the middle of a battle between the navy and the pirates.

Being sandwiched between two forces.

If I hadn't been strong enough and acted quickly enough, someone else would have already died in the northwest.

The second time he entered the forbidden forest, the badge on Rune's chest began to glow.

At the same time, a wonderful feeling began to appear in my heart.

The world before his eyes suddenly began to change, shattering and reassembling like a glass kaleidoscope.

The world before my eyes suddenly changed!

What was originally just one road has now become three.

Moreover, there are mysterious guidances on these three paths telling him that they are all "in compliance with the rules".

"Is it a privilege to have a badge?"

Rune already had some guesses in his mind.

After obtaining the badge, one can obtain certain conveniences in the promotion forest.

Although these conveniences are not enough for him to change or reverse the rules, they can give him more options.

Three roads ahead.

One is lush and green, one is withered and leafless, and one looks like it has been burned to ashes.

Rune thought for a moment and chose the third path.

The road was burned to ashes.

I still remember the last time the colorful crow returned to the forest after chasing me, it started a raging fire.

Therefore, the emergence of this path is somewhat related to the colorful crows.

After "passing through" the forbidden forest once, Rune also had some understanding of this forbidden area.

In this area, the monsters are not invincibly powerful.

They just know, take advantage, and can change the rules a little bit to some extent.

These monsters are accustomed to "hunting" in secret, using the forest as their barrier to find suitable prey.

What is truly powerful are the rules.

Therefore, walking on this burned road, without the cover of the forest, the chance of encountering monsters is even smaller.

In this way, your speed will be faster.

There are also fewer possible dangers.

At the same time, if you choose this path, you are likely to meet the colorful crows again.

That crow is pretty communicative.

We can more or less get some information about General Wu Ren's treasure from it.

Following the third burnt road, there were no obstacles along the way, just as Rune had expected.

The trees in the forests on both sides turned into bare charcoal.

No living creature could hide among the trees anymore.

After running for more than ten minutes, the air ahead suddenly became hot.

Braving the heat wave, Rune moved forward and saw a colorful crow burning with flames that were dozens of meters in radius through the gaps in the black trees.

Just from the continuous flames, it can be seen that its strength is much stronger than when it was first released.

Its opponent is a rhinoceros burning with red flames.

The flames of both sides collided with each other, and flame fragments like meteors splashed in all directions, blasting small pits in the forest.

After a fierce fight, the crow gained the upper hand and the rhino was blasted into pieces by the colorful flames.

The colorful crow excitedly stepped forward and swallowed the red ball of light left after the rhino's death.

The red part of the colorful flames on its body became even brighter.

After it was satisfied and wrapped its wounds with flames, it flew onto the branch of the dead tree and looked unconsciously in the direction of Rune.

Then, without any hesitation, colorful flames burst out with scorching heat!

Rune quickly lowered his head and rolled forward, and rays of fire fell behind him with extremely terrifying power.

After launching the first attack, the colorful crow did not continue to pursue.

It narrowed its eyes and looked at Rune in front of it, and seemed to find him familiar.

After flapping its wings twice, the colorful crow landed on a tree near Rune.

He tilted his head and stared at Rune blankly, "Hey! Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you not to come?!"

Seeing that the colorful crow still recognized him, Rune breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why can't I come?"

The colorful crow snorted coldly, its voice was extremely unhappy, "Others can come to this forbidden forest, but you can't! You are different from those people! The deeper your relationship with the forbidden forest, the more dangerous it is, a danger you cannot bear!"

"Can you describe the unbearable danger in more detail?"

"No! This thing said that I can't withstand the backlash of the forest rules." The colorful crow said, "Anyway, you saved me from the curse, so you are a good person. I am not an ungrateful crow, so you just have to listen to me!"

Rune shrugged. He didn’t expect that the crow in front of him was such an “upright” guy.

He said succinctly, "General Wuren's treasure is in here. I need it to advance to the next level."

The colorful crow was stunned for a moment, then flew up and circled in the air for several circles. "The treasure of General Wuren, who is General Wuren? What is his treasure? There are so many treasures in the forbidden forest, how can I know which one it is?"

It flew far enough before landing in front of Rune.

"That treasure just came out last night, and there was also a vision of a falling blue meteor." Rune explained patiently.

"Then I understand." The colorful crow seemed to remember something, "So that's what you were talking about! It's really good! But it's very difficult to get it!"

It opened its mouth wide and spoke eloquently, "That thing is not here. This place, the 'Forbidden Forest', is only the first level of the entire forbidden area. What you want is on the third level! With your current strength, you can easily enter the second level of the forbidden area, right? But you are not strong enough for the third level!"

"Not only do you lack strength, but you are also missing something very important if you want to obtain the treasure!"

"Then please tell me, what should I do to get the treasure successfully?"

Seeing that the colorful crow really knew about the treasure, Rune felt relieved and asked.

"I've already told you that you're not strong enough! You're still missing something important!" The colorful crow raised his head, "Even for me now, it's almost impossible to dominate the third floor, unless I can get another kind of flame back!"

After it said this, Rune noticed that the flames of the colorful crow had a total of seven colors.

At this moment, except for the very bright red flame just brought back, the flames of other colors are extremely dim.

This colorful crow also has a story.

"Where did you get your other flame?" Rune asked after thinking for a while.

Crow was a little surprised. "Why are you asking this? Do you want to help me get the flame back? You are so strong."

Before he could utter this sentence, the Hand of Grudge, which had been disguised and transformed, appeared behind Rune holding the Tidebringer, and the Shotgun of Destiny was also in his hand.

The powerful and tyrannical force surprised even the colorful crows!

Although I cannot feel this kid’s specific strength, but judging by his fate, he is definitely no more than Sequence 6, and at most Sequence 7.

But you call this power that is erupting now Sequence 7?

Are all Sequence 6s so terrifying now?!

Furthermore, his spiritual power is not inferior to that of a Sequence 6 being!

A knife, a gun, and a momentum like a sea of ​​blood proved Rune's own strength and also made the colorful crow's eyes light up.

It jumped up and down on the tree branch excitedly, "Good boy! Good boy! I didn't expect you to be so capable!"

The colorful crow said: "You have this strength, it is enough, it is enough!"

It stretched its head and rolled its eyes. "Boy, how about we make a deal?"

"What deal?"

The crow said, "On the second floor, I need to get my orange flame back. My opponent is a top-level Sequence 6 lion. How about you help me get the flame back and I will protect you on the third floor? And I will tell you everything about the treasure."

"No problem." Rune answered very straightforwardly. This was also the main purpose of his visit to the colorful crow.

Taking out the parchment, paper and pen, Rune hurriedly wrote a 20,000-word contract.

The crow jumped to the ground and frowned as he looked at the parchment scroll covered with densely written small words.

After browsing for a while, a flame mark was engraved on it, "Too long, don't read it!"

Lu En put away the contract contentedly, "Don't worry, I won't harm you. This is a normal contract. Can we set off now?"

"Not yet." The crow shook his head, "Follow me!"

The crow flew in the sky, and Rune followed closely.

"The second floor we are going to has weaker rules than the first floor, but it still exists." Crow said, "More rules are absorbed by monsters and reflected in their characteristics. For example, there are stone men who will rebound double damage when attacked by physical attacks, and there are elves who are completely immune to fire damage."

"In short, those guys are more weird and more difficult to deal with."

"You are strong enough to enter the second level, but you still need to make some preparations."

"You need to upgrade the level of the Forbidden Exploration Badge, and you also need more Heart Fruits, which are essential on the second floor."

As the colorful crow was speaking, Rune was brought to the edge of the forbidden forest without realizing it!

At this time, Rune also understood what the colorful crow meant.

This guy wants to help me level up!

The crow flapped its wings, "Go, go into the forest again, stay where you are, and I will come find you!"

Rune nodded and stepped out of the Forbidden Forest.

The Forbidden Forest Exploration Badge on his chest flashed a green light! ——

[Forbidden Forest · Explorer's Proof (First Floor Lv.1)] → [Forbidden Forest · Explorer's Proof (First Floor Lv.2)]!

Effect change: The ability to understand rules, spells, and formations increases by 2% (1%↑)!

-

The second time I walked out of the forest, my level was raised by one.

Rune returned to the sea and the forbidden forest disappeared.

He closed his eyes again and listened to the "call of the forest"!

In less than ten minutes, he was back in the forbidden forest.

The world was spinning before my eyes and I had no idea where I was in the forbidden forest.

He was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

Ten minutes later, a burning sensation came from the sky.

A colorful crow flew over and said, "Boy, follow me!"

-

[Forbidden Forest · Explorer's Proof (First Floor Lv.2)] → [Forbidden Forest · Explorer's Proof (First Floor Lv.3)]!

Effect change: The ability to understand rules, spells, and formations increases by 3% (1%↑)!

-

Next, from Lv.3 to Lv.5, new entries are triggered!

[Forbidden Forest Proficient: Able to apply forest rules to a certain extent (each time you enter the forest, you will gain a beneficial ability, but you can choose not to accept it)]

Then, Lv5→Lv10!

Get new entries!

[Forbidden Forest Experienced Adventurer: Able to understand the rules of the forest to a certain extent (can know most of the elements of the forest rules in advance)]

Lv10→Lv.30!

In addition to the comprehension ability being increased to 30%, there are also new entries!

[Forbidden Forest Wanderer: Able to ignore certain forest rules for a short period of time (except for the fundamental rules)]

It took nearly a whole day and a half for the Colorful Crow to lead Rune to raise the badge to level 30!

At this moment, the badge’s emerald green color looks like a peerless jadeite.

Badge of level 30.

It is basically impossible for ordinary people to achieve this goal.

Not to mention how strong one has to be or how lucky one has to be, even if you count the time, energy, and props spent, the consumption is enormous.

Now, under the leadership of the colorful crows, Rune achieved this goal in a way that was almost cheating.

"Ahem. Level 30 is the upper limit of the first level. You have cleared the level 30 times, so you have at least 60 Heart Fruits, which is more than enough."

The flames on the colorful crows dimmed a little.

"After I rest and recover, we will head to the second floor. There, we will first obtain my second flame. After we recover our strength, we will go to where you need to go."

"That place is on the third floor, called 'Deep Lock Door'."

"Behind the door is a sea of ​​souls. If you want to travel on the sea of ​​souls, you need items or abilities with corresponding soul-related properties."

"This is still very difficult. Such items and abilities are extremely rare. Most people will hardly see them in their lifetime."
