Scene 24 Dead Tree

After entering the valley, the further you go in, the more desolate the environment becomes. There is almost no vegetation on the surface. The uninhabited mountain road passes through the sharp rocks intertwined with sharp teeth. Only withered grass and thorn bushes grow from the cracks in the rock wall. There seem to be some withered branches in the darkness far away. The cold wind in the mountains is like It was like black smoke passing through the branches, making a creaking sound.

Brando knew that this was because the nutrients of the land were absorbed by the magic tree. He held up the torch to reflect the surrounding stone walls, and occasionally there were a few white bones in the shadows, which looked like animals like goats, because He strayed into the forbidden area and became the food of the golden magic tree.

Roman held a torch and walked behind. She protected her bag with one hand and looked around nervously and curiously. This was the first time she was so far away from home, as if the dream of a businessman was about to come true from this moment. It’s the same—the dangers, excitement, and wealth and treasures on the commercial road have always been the reasons that support the prosperity of merchants and adventurers on this continent.

Besides, following Brando, she has a sense of security.

Two balls of fire passed through the canyon one after the other, and Brando put his hand on the hilt of the sword. Once he passed through this area in the game, he entered the territory of a monster, the withered beast.

The golden magic tree is a terrible monster, or it should be said to be a type-golden tree species. The main body may be a kind of elf holy tree such as Tochi or Oak, which can be awakened as a golden tree after being implanted with the blood of God by the "tree shepherd" - the tree shepherd is one of the major cults in the game. In the war-torn world, where the fire of civilization cannot penetrate, darkness breeds. Not only do undead sequences exist, but there is also the soil for the survival of cults. In the game, villains like tree shepherds act secretly, leaving their shadows everywhere, like a line running through it, making people know that they have a certain purpose, but no one knows what it is.

Brando is no exception.

The golden magic tree has two abilities, the first is to activate plants. It can turn the bushes on the land it controls into humanoid monsters, called wither beasts. Withered beasts are like the tentacles and spies of the golden demon tree, they are all over the canyon.

A single wither beast is level seven in the game, and its combat power is about the same as that of the guards Brando has seen before, but its intelligence is low. The stronger Wither Beast is more than thirteenth level, and the first level of power awakened is also a difficult opponent for Brando.

The second ability is Enchanted Fruit. The fruit of the golden demon tree falls to the ground and cracks, and furry savage-like creatures are born from it. They will grow to a height of two meters in one day. These are the heirs of the golden demon tree and elite guards. Between the twelfth level, the only thing Brando can rely on to meet them is the Ring of the Queen of the Wind.

After decades of accumulation, there are already a considerable number of these demons and withered beasts in the canyon. If it weren't for Brando's support in his heart, it would be absolutely impossible for him and Roman to pass through the canyon safely. possible things. Of course, the golden demon tree itself is also quite powerful, after all, it is a monster that has entered the second level of power, but the young man has no intention of provoking it at all - he knows where it is, so naturally he won't approach it.

Along the way, there were only the rustling footsteps of the two people, which seemed a little scary in the loneliness. But Brando felt a sense of familiarity. In the past, he was the same person who came in with large coils of rope, torches, oil lamps, hooks and dry food, and then followed the route he had traveled thousands of times to find the golden magic tree. Trouble.

The Golden Demon Tree produced 20Oz to 30Oz power-level equipment, which was almost the best drop at that time. At that time, any player with some skills would choose to do it—especially the rumored Golden Tree Heart, which restores 1 Point of life, in the early era of the game is an artifact.

But I'm afraid the only difference now is that there is a future business lady behind him, Brando suddenly has a feeling of taking the girl he likes on an adventure in the mountains and forests,

The adventure of two people is quite romantic, isn't it?

"Brando?" Roman suddenly reminded in a low voice.

Brando turned his head and noticed that the other party's gaze was on his hand. He was slightly startled, and found that the Zhanguang thorn in his hand was oozing white light from the scabbard.

There are undead nearby! He was startled, and then realized that even if Madara didn't control this area, he might send a small team to monitor it, to ensure that no fish slipped through the net. But a small team, thinking of this, Brando relaxed a little bit, a few low-level undead were not enough for him to see, but be careful not to disturb the withered beasts in the canyon.

He pulled out the sword, and when the thorn of Zhanguang pointed in one direction, the light on the sword was obviously brighter, and Brando immediately knew that the team of undead was in this direction. He stretched his hand back to signal Roman to stay away, then extinguished the torch and moved over step by step.

*****

There is indeed a small group of undead in the canyon, but these skeletons are also encountering a little trouble at the moment. It was the Lich Kabuka who led them. Its performance in Butch not only let go of the human scout, but also caused a colleague to always send it here. The second is to remind it not to act too smart in front of the boss or master.

Of course Kabuka understood, but what was more important was how to block the attack of the three monsters in front of him.

At first, it and its skeleton soldiers killed a creature like a standing humanoid bush covered in thorns in the canyon. At this moment, their kind seems to be coming to the door, there are three of them, these monsters are shrouded in a pile of withered branches. Under the heads, there are two clusters of bright lights staring at these undead creatures, and there are several broken skeletons around them. .

A fight seemed imminent.

What are these tree root sods? The green flames in Kabuka's eye sockets flickered on and off.

Seeing that the opponent was about to attack again, he had no choice but to put on a strong bow with his own skeleton soldiers, draw the dark blue soul fire to ignite the clusters of arrows, and then shoot out a wave of arrows—unexpectedly, the two wither beasts were stained with arrows. The flame quickly hissed and turned into two groups of burning flames on the sand.

The Lich immediately let out a rattling laugh. This thing was stronger than its skeleton soldiers, but as long as it was a plant, it would be afraid of fire. By the way, why didn't it think of this before? What a mistake. Kabuka raised the bone staff, and with a bang, half of the last wither beast exploded, sending sawdust flying all over the sky.

Seeing the corpse witch dancing there, Brando, who climbed onto a protruding pale rock, couldn't help being amused. Magic is one of the golden magic tree's favorite nutrients. The golden magic tree's thirst for it is like a drug. As long as there is a trace of magic fluctuations in this area, the latter will immediately find out, and the Lich doesn't know it. Please die.

However, he is also in some trouble. After all, he and Roman are also here, and he must find a way to get to a higher place as soon as possible, otherwise he may be buried with these undead with empty minds.

He turned around and pulled Roman up from below. Seeing the small group of undead below, the merchant lady couldn't help but blinked. The bright eyes were not fear, but curiosity.

"I recognize the lich," she whispered.

"Hush!"

The undead were so recognizable that Brando only thought Roman was telling a joke. There is almost no difference between skeleton soldiers and skeleton soldiers, and between Lich and Lich, except for some differences in the fluctuation of the soul, not only the low-level undead, but even the high-level undead are distinguished by their decorations or Some obvious features to distinguish.

"I really recognize it, Brando, I took a look at it from afar last time at your house." Miss Merchant said confidently.

"Enn, keep your voice down, if you startle them, we won't be able to eat and walk away."

Brando narrowed his eyes, he had already seen some rustling shadows appearing in the shadows, and the way they acted should be withered beasts. After he counted thirty, he couldn't count anymore. There were too many. And it's too dark. However, the Lich hadn't ordered the skeleton soldier to extinguish the soul fire on the arrow cluster. Plants have phototaxis, and he had already concluded in his mind that the other party was a bone frame scattered on the ground.

"There seems to be a lot of things around us, Brando." Roman said.

"Well, come with me. Keep your body down, don't disturb them—"

The two continued to climb to a higher place, Brando led the way, and Roman knelt on the rock and moved forward bit by bit. Now he began to feel the benefits of taking the business lady with her. She didn't panic at all in such an environment, which was very difficult for ordinary people to do.

He remembered that in the game, when he teamed up with some female teammates and entered some scary places, he would often encounter people yelling. This is not the most embarrassing thing, it is embarrassing that some men are like this.

While thinking, he silently looked down——

With the Lich and its several skeleton soldiers as the center, the Withered Beast has gathered into several torrents. Kabuka finally felt that something was wrong. It subconsciously recited the magic spell of the curtain of darkness, but only halfway through the recitation, it saw two dark red monsters rushing out from the cracks in the rocks and smashing its skeleton. The soldiers were torn to pieces.

Here comes Martha, Lord Roscoe! What the hell is this, there's no need for surveillance here!

Kabuka had no sympathy for his men, and there was no mercy in Madara's army. Of course, the idea of ​​protecting oneself is allowed, so it jumped up to the rock behind. The dexterity and strength of the Lich are not low, but ordinary people are easily confused by their mage appearance.

But Brando didn't appreciate this scene at all at the moment, because he saw that the Lich was rushing towards him.

I'll go, can't you choose a better direction?

He didn't even dare to pull out the thorn of Zhanguang now, otherwise he would be holding something like a fluorescent stick in his hand in the darkness, wouldn't he immediately become the target of public criticism?

But he immediately saw a dark red withered beast suddenly jump up and grab the shin bone of the Lich. Drag it down, and the canyon is already surrounded by withered beasts. The skeleton soldiers are afraid that they will be torn to pieces early in the morning. As long as Kabuka hesitates for a second, he will immediately follow in his footsteps.

"Kill it!" Brando couldn't help shouting heavily in his heart.

At the same time, he felt Roman tightly grasping his shoulders from behind, as if he was as nervous as him. Anyone could see this situation, as long as the Lich came closer, the Wither Beasts would probably notice it too. them.

However, the girl exhaled like Xinlan, which still made Brando a little distracted. He looked back, only to find that the business lady was looking in another direction in a daze.

Huh?

Brando subconsciously followed his gaze, and suddenly took a breath.

(PS. Qiang Qiang, a new week has arrived, please support me.

Tomorrow is the little decadent Demon Hunter of Rebirth. It is said that every monthly pass can make him explode one more chapter? )
