When Raymond entered the space passage with the Phantom Butterfly Jima, it felt like it was just an instant before his eyes darkened. ..
It was not an extremely deep black, but a kind of dimness with a reddish luster. Standing in the air, Raymond's left eye could clearly see the situation within ten meters around him through the light green crystal given by the Siren tribe.
It is a tall and thin underworld plant similar to a cactus. It is sparsely distributed but covered with barbs. The blooming flowers on its top release a slightly brighter reddish luster, making its surroundings slightly brighter.
The rugged and rugged landform was like vegetation on the edge of a desert. After releasing his senses, Raymond frowned as he noticed many obscure auras.
Because this environment was not very similar to the seabuckthorn plains described by the Butterfly of Resentment Ulu before, so he asked. "Do you know what these plants are?"
The Phantom Butterfly Jima, who was teleported along with Raymond, also had a confused look on her face. After rising for more than ten meters and observing for a moment, she fell down and then answered. "Lord Raymond, the area you can see is full of these crimson jade thorns. It should be quite far from the Sea Buckthorn Plain..."
"Direction!" "I, I want to make a judgment..."
Jima landed while speaking, took out the artifact she was awarded in the village, and started busy.
With a thought in mind, Raymond raised his right hand and began to construct the spell. Soon the gravel in front of him rolled and gathered inward. A moment later, an earth puppet only as tall as a meter emerged from the gravel. Pulled out both legs. He let out a low roar and rushed towards a Crimson Jade Thorn not far away.
The heavy footsteps of the earth puppet, which was made entirely of gravel, broke the silence here. It also caused all the Crimson Jade Thorns within a radius of ten meters to start shaking.
It's just that the Crimson Jade Thorn selected by the Earth Puppet didn't make any movement at first. But just when the Earth Puppet entered its three-meter distance, the tall and thin plant itself suddenly bent down, and the barbs facing the Earth Puppet stretched and lengthened in vain, like a long whip. past.
The snapping sound was like a pearl moving on a jade plate, and the spikes that touched the Earth Puppet immediately rolled back and suddenly pierced into the Earth Puppet's body. After hooking it, he pulled it over.
The unprepared Earth Puppet roared. But it was in vain that the flower at the top of the Crimson Jade Thorn came to him. Within the cracked gap in the center of the stamen, dozens of green stamen-like filaments poked out from it, and quickly Entangled the entire earth puppet. Make it unable to move anymore! The earth puppet seemed to be imprisoned. At this moment, it could no longer be sensed by Raymond. The barbs pierced into its body surface were trembling, and the body of the earth puppet was also shaken. It began to disintegrate rapidly, and after a moment it turned into a pile of gravel again, which was piled at the root of the Crimson Jade Thorn.
What surprised Raymond a little was that the scarlet jade thorns that killed the earth puppet then began to grow longer, and the height increased by several feet, and the barbs on the body became brighter. It was as if the energy contained in the earth puppet was absorbed and swallowed by it, allowing the Crimson Jade Thorn to gain nutrients.
"The earth puppet, which is equivalent to the strength of an ordinary knight, does not even have the ability to resist. Obviously those barbs piercing its body contain some kind of imprisoning power..."
Raymond, whose eyes were shining with red light, made the above judgment, and Jima, who determined the direction with the help of the artifact given by the elder Sethus of his village, also immediately informed Raymond of this place. The distance to the seabuckthorn plain is not as far as imagined.
Raymond, who took Jima on the road, started to move forward.
Two days later, when the color of the surface turned reddish-brown, the unique brown-red seabuckthorn in the seabuckthorn plain was seen in large numbers.
Clumps of brown-red sea buckthorn are common low-level plants in the underworld. The slight toxins contained in them cannot be used because of the difficulty of refining them.
However, because the dark energy concentration of the environment they live in is relatively high, many strange underworld creatures were discovered one after another after entering the Sea Buckthorn Plain.
Low-level resentful spirits and ghosts hide among the brown sea buckthorns, growing by devouring each other.
Those with more powerful abilities lurk underground, or hide themselves with the help of changes in terrain, and are predators in the middle of the food chain.
These creatures in the underworld that rely on the absorption of dark energy did not cause Raymond too much trouble.
The phantom butterfly Jima, who is still in its infancy, is so intimidating that the lower-level underworld creatures dare not approach it.
The slightly stronger resentful spirits will be burned and annihilated by Raymond's invisible fire. As long as there is no numerical advantage, it will naturally be difficult to hinder him.
However, the area of the sea buckthorn plain exceeded Raymond's expectation. After continuing to move in the direction pointed by Jima for three days, he finally arrived at the area where the soul-sacrifice fruit tree might grow.
The low brown-red seabuckthorn on the surface has become increasingly sparse in this area, and the low-level ghosts and resentful spirits that could be seen before are as if they have been exterminated here, with no trace at all.
Because the location provided by the Phantom Butterfly Jima was only a range, after confirming that there were no underworld creatures nearby that would be attracted by its own breath, Raymond also released its breath and started. check carefully.
The fertile humus soil has created a prosperous underground microbial community. The low-level netherworld creatures bred by the dark energy grow and reproduce here, making the underground situation more complicated.
Many underground channels and holes, plus the dense netherworld fungi plants densely distributed in them, after being explored by Raymond, even the data collected by the chip became more detailed, revealing the real situation underground.
At a depth of about 30 meters underground, a main road that seemed to be a damaged underground city finally allowed Raymond to find the road leading to the soul-sacrificing fruit tree. However, what confused him was that there were more than 30 hidden stone pillars distributed around the entrance, as if guarding the entrance, so that there were no creatures in the area where the entrance was located.
Because it was unclear what kind of netherworld creatures were "guarding" the soul-sacrificing fruit tree here, Raymond directly cleared the soil above the entrance, exposing all the stone pillars buried around the space gate.
The surface of the stone pillar, which is about 30 to 40 centimeters in diameter and close to a perfect circle, has many runes and obscure patterns.
However, these stone pillars, which do not have energy fluctuations themselves, will cause the rapid gathering of dark energy around them after being touched, just like the kind of rune array structure that can operate on its own.
The space gate located in the center is similar to the space gate under the city of annihilation. It looks ordinary but actually has mysteries. Obviously, forced destruction will cause changes inside it.
The effect of the integrated rune array structure cannot be judged before it is triggered.
It is also very difficult to dismantle it.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Raymond asked the phantom butterfly Jima to avoid it from a distance, and rushed directly to the space gate at the entrance with a flash of his body.
With a muffled hum, the seemingly messy and irregularly distributed stone pillars suddenly released a vague light. After the energy accumulation was completed in an instant, the space door was covered with a barrier film, and the top of each stone pillar also shot out a faint light, instantly hitting Raymond's protection.
Amid the crisp sound of Ding Ding Ding, Raymond, whose body was hit by these faint lights, felt relieved.
The faint light with corrosive and penetrating effects, although containing a strong evil breath, could only cause weak ripples on its protective barrier, but it was still not strong enough to make him feel the danger.
Therefore, Raymond, who fell straight down to the space door, clenched his right fist and hit it directly, causing the film that was like a protective barrier to be broken, and then he reached out and grasped the door ring on the space door...)
