Chapter 118: Seeing the Firewood Collector Again

The three people on the periphery of the battlefield raised their hands to block the aftermath.

The collision of the two giant beasts surprised the three people. There was no doubt that this was the leader of the God Statue Tribe and the Polar Hundred Tribes.

Their battle continued.

However, Li Miao caught a glimpse of the things on the altar behind them, and his eyes lit up slightly: "Yuanfang, Brother Yu, look at the altar, there is a treasure chest!"

Brother Yu and Yuanfang heard the words and also saw the box on the altar.

The box looked simple and was placed in the center of the altar. There were some strange-shaped bones and grains next to it, which seemed to be used for some kind of sacrifice.

Li Miao thought for a moment, and then he had a good idea: "Why don't we go around and take a look at the altar first?"

Yuanfang thought for a moment and nodded slightly, and Brother Yu had no objection.

The two giant beasts in front of them were powerful. Even if they wanted to fight, it would not be solved by them in a short time.

After making up their minds,

The three of them quickly bypassed the battlefield of the two giant beasts. After killing several monsters that blocked their way, they came to the edge of the altar from another direction.

"This altar is a bit high." Li Miao looked up, then jumped up, just grabbed the edge of the altar and climbed up.

Brother Yu followed closely behind.

Yuanfang noticed something was wrong at this moment and stopped moving.

"Yuanfang, come up quickly, what are you doing?" Li Miao turned his head and urged.

However, he was responded by two extremely angry roars.

"Roar——" "Roar——"

The two giant beasts that were still fighting for life and death unexpectedly chose to turn their guns around after noticing the intruders on the altar, and came towards them in unison.

The steel bristles on the neck of the commander of the hundred tribes burned brightly and turned red. The next moment, they broke away on their own and flew towards them like arrows in the sky!

The blood of the Fearless was also boiling at this moment, and the surface of the body was filled with red mist. It roared and waved its arms, and a blood-red air blade came towards Brother Yu and Li Miao on the altar.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Li Miao's heart skipped a beat.

This is bad. They didn't intend to get involved in the battle, and they also planned to try to steal the home. Unexpectedly, this time they were forced to fight two people alone!

Boom boom boom!

Brother Yu and Li Miao hurriedly left the altar first and raised their shields to block the flying steel bristles.

I thought this would make the two beasts focus on each other again, but I didn't expect that they seemed to have locked their eyes on them, and instead rushed towards them with the earth shaking!

"Now we can't help but fight."

Looking at the two fierce beasts, Brother Yu said helplessly.

"Use the potion." Yuanfang said calmly, and then took out the potion and drank it up.

Brother Yu and Li Miao followed closely behind.

In an instant, the power brought by the magic potion filled the whole body, and the strongest three-person team among the players was about to face the two strongest giant beast bosses on this unknown relic star!

…

"Hehe, let me put my skipping class theory into practice today."

Niu Niu smiled and teleported into the new copy he reset, and was about to walk towards the last underground space to practice his skipping class theory.

However, what made him feel a little confused was that there seemed to be a faint sound of fighting in front of him.

Hmm? Isn't Mushroom still studying his magic potion in the Demon Hut?

This surprised Niu Niu, scratching his head, and was about to listen carefully, but found that the surrounding sounds suddenly disappeared.

Before he could react, his control over his body also disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden freeze and the screen flickered.

The next moment, his eyes suddenly went black and he was forced to come to the login interface.

[System program error, being repaired, please wait patiently...]

"Ah?"

"A bug?"

Niu Niu was dumbfounded. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.

...

After Niu Niu's body disappeared.

Another body of the candle spirit spread out from the candle spirit, and then froze into the appearance of Rogge.

The unlucky Niu Niu certainly did not encounter any bug, but he just found a reason to force him to top the account.

The reason why he did this was naturally because he had made some discoveries and received feedback from the candle spirit.

Another reason was that he did not trust Niu Niu.

If it were other players, he might not do this, just send a task.

But Niu Niu...Rogge really couldn't guarantee what outrageous things he would do.

So, to be on the safe side, he came by himself.

Of course, he did not use the real body, because the repulsion was too great. He used the candle spirit body that he condensed when he went to the prayer chapel before. Although the strength was not very good, the repulsion was much smaller, which was completely enough to be used as a vest.

After he simply moved his body joints, he slowly walked down the stairs.

The further he walked down, the louder the sound of fighting became.

There was no doubt that the SM couple had already fought with others.

And this copy was where Niu Niu and Mushroom existed. There would be no other players besides them, so there was only one possibility left...

After Rogge lifted the blood-red weeping vines blocking his eyes, he saw the two sides fighting in front of the bed.

One of them was undoubtedly the Crazy Lord and the Tyrannical Lady.

The other side was a thin knight wearing tattered armor.

He was armed with a heavy sword and had proficient fighting skills. However, since his physical strength was not very strong, he could only struggle to deal with the double attacks of the Crazy Lord and the Tyrant Lady. He rolled and dodged in the blood pool, looking quite embarrassed.

Wow, wow...

Rogge stepped into the blood pool and slowly drew out the candlelight sword from his back.

The thin knight seemed to have caught a glimpse of Rogge at the door. He was stunned for a moment before the Crazy Fallen Lord slashed his head with his sword!

The pupils of his eyes under the armor shrank, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his heavy sword to resist.

But in the next moment, the sharp edges of the swords collided!

when--

The crisp sound of gold and iron sounded, and sparks popped out.

The thin knight's eyes were stunned, as if he didn't expect that this tall warrior would actually help him.

The Crazy Fallen Lord roared angrily, and his strength suddenly increased.

The violent lady from behind also struck with her whip at this moment.

But Rogge didn't even think about fighting it head-on. With one hand he tilted the sword to relieve his strength, and with the other hand he directly pulled away the knight behind him.

Bang!

The mad fallen knight's broadsword suddenly slashed to the ground, splashing blood.

Rogge rolled to a safe position, glanced at the thin knight next to him, and nodded slightly towards him.

Even though the knight opposite was wearing a visor, he nodded and understood instantly.

The two soon joined forces to attack the Cruel Lady and the Crazy Fallen Lord.

For these two bosses, Rogge can't be said to have a little knowledge, it can only be said that he knows them well.

This crazy fallen lord took one step and Rogge knew where he would be in the next three steps.

In addition, he has extremely rich combat experience, and this vest body has also been upgraded a few levels to ignite the flames of war, so it is easy to deal with these two people.

What's more, there is an experienced knight nearby to cooperate, so the result is naturally predictable.

Uh-huh!

A cold light flashed by.

The couple murmured from the body of the crazy fallen demon, and then its head fell down, revealing the figure of a thin knight wielding a sword.

Bang!

After the crazy fallen demon ghost died, his body collapsed.

Under Rogge's eyes, its body emitted countless orange-red lights like sparks, which merged into the chest of the thin knight.

Some dropped objects also appeared on the ground, but their appearance was obviously different, showing the orange-red color of ordinary fire.

Completely different power...but seems to be weaker than Lingzhu...

After quietly watching everything in front of you and keeping it in mind.

After inserting the sword into the scabbard, Rogge took off his hooded helmet and looked at the thin knight in front of him.

"Hello, my name is Gro."

He said this in mixed words that he could not understand, and then used the power of the spiritual candle to convey his meaning.

"Hello! I am Claymore, a wage earner. Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Gro."

Seeing the tall warrior who saved his life in front of him saluted him, the thin knight also quickly took off his helmet, revealing the face of a slightly immature boy, and saluted Rogge respectfully.

This etiquette was not unfamiliar to Rogge. It was the etiquette of this world that at least Nonia held his arm to correct.

Salary collector... As expected.

"This is not a suitable place for chatting. Let's go outside." Rogge suggested.

Upon hearing this, Claymore nodded quickly and followed Rogge. The two left the underground space together and came to the outside of the fortress.

On the way, Rogge didn't say a word, but in fact, he deliberately led him past some conspicuous places where the milestone candles existed.

But Claymore didn't react at all, as if the Milestone Spiritual Candle had never appeared in his sight.

It seems that he probably can't see the Milestone Spiritual Candle...

After arriving at the fortress, the two stopped.

However, before Rogge could speak, Claymore couldn't help but speak.

"Mr. Gro, are you also a wage earner?"

Hearing this slightly green and doubtful question, Rogge smiled slightly.

He didn't answer, but took out a bright red spark, spread it out in his hand, and asked.

"Do you know Ryan? How is he now?"

"Have you seen other salary collectors?" Seeing this spark, Claymore was overflowing with surprise, but soon became a little disappointed.

"Sorry, Mr. Gro, I don't recognize the 'Ryan' you are talking about..."

"But he should also be a salary-gatherer, because this is the 'return to Mars,' the magical thing that brings salary-gatherers back to the bonfire, and only salary-gatherers have it."

Claymore revealed the real name of the Mars to Rogge, and incidentally also revealed its usage, and even incidentally revealed the name of their base.

Return to Mars…Bonfire…

After Rogge thought for a moment, he put away Returning Mars, and then followed his words with some regret.

"He was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He left by returning to Mars. I don't know if he is okay."

Claymore didn't notice Rogge's subtle inquiry at all, but responded:

"Don't worry, Mr. Gro, as a salary collector, no matter how serious the injury is, as long as you don't die on the spot, you can recover by the campfire."

"What happens if you die on the spot?"

"Of course it burns part of the soul." At this point, Claymore suddenly realized in hindsight: "Mr. Gro, you mean... you are not a salary earner?"

In response, Rogge shook his head and did not feel embarrassed, but responded calmly.

"No, I'm not a wage earner, I'm a candle spirit."

"Candle spirit?" Claymore's eyes were puzzled but also filled with a hint of surprise, as if a person who had been alone in the dark for a long time finally saw a ray of light...

...

Claymore.

When this young and immature boy woke up, he found himself in a closed small room, with only a bonfire that had been burning for an unknown period of time in front of him and... the witch's soul in the dagger.

He had lost his memory, and didn't remember why he came here, nor did he remember who he was.

The only thing he had was the instinctive fighting skills.

Through the witch's soul in the dagger, Claymore learned that they were all people who were saved by the bonfire in the disaster. Only by going to the broken world and fighting continuously can they gain strength to achieve the ultimate goal - to pick up the broken firewood and save the burning land...

Therefore, they are called... firewood pickers.

This is a road destined to be lonely, dark and tortuous, with no end in sight, but they have no choice but to move forward.

Death is not an easy thing for them either.

Every death will burn part of their souls. This is an extremely painful process, but they can continue to explore in a "living" posture.

But the soul is limited after all. Once their souls are burned out, they can only move towards the final death, and everything will return to nothingness.

Claymore was very uneasy about such a complete death, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and explore, going to one broken world after another through the power of the bonfire.

The witch soul told him that his first goal now was to find a place called "Fire Temple" first, where he might meet other firewood collectors.

This is what Claymore is looking forward to at present.

Although Claymore learned from the witch soul that he was not the only firewood collector, the probability of encountering him in the vast fragment space was very small. At least so far, Claymore had never encountered him.

Not to mention Mr. Gro, the "candle spirit" in front of him...

As for Rogge, his story about his origins was much vaguer.

After listening to Claymore's words, Rogge was thoughtful.

The matter of the dagger and the witch's soul is undoubtedly related to Nonia...

As for this bonfire...isn't it just a low-end version of the spirit candle?

No, it should be called a castrated version.

The source of this bonfire not only did not react to Rogge's arrival.

And the firewood collector had to burn his soul to revive after death, and he would really die, which was really outrageous...

You know, for Rogge, the most precious thing should be the soul that controls the body...

He vaguely felt that this matter might not be that simple, but he couldn't remember it.

Then, he set his eyes on Claymore and had the idea of ​​poaching.

If he could get the soul of this boy, he could become an NPC like Nonia.

But after a thorough investigation of the power of the spirit candle, it was found that his soul...was not complete?

It was a heavy rainstorm. The call came at almost seven o'clock. I worked overtime to code two chapters. Please forgive me...It's raining again. I hope it won't stop tomorrow...
