Chapter 153 The Girl in the Corpse Tree

"What's wrong? Is there a monster nearby?" Guagua was stunned for a moment, and then he became alert, ready to transform into an Iron Masked Warlock at any time.

"There's a cry for help."

Tianji's eyes were fixed in one direction.

When Guagua heard this, he frowned and listened attentively.

Sure enough, a faint cry for help came from the distance.

"Help...I..."

Someone is indeed asking for help!

Guagua's eyes narrowed, and then he looked keenly at the source of the sound.

On the left front, there is a place where the bone trees are most lush.

"Over there!"×2

The two spoke in unison, but pointed in two completely different directions.

"..."

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere was silent for a moment.

"...Let's go and take a look at the place you mentioned first." Tianji coughed lightly and nodded pretending to be calm.

His sense of direction is indeed a bit bad, so he should just follow Guagua.

"Let's ride a horse. Brother Niu said that you can jump over many monsters in the map."

After Guagua finished speaking, he took out the candle bone whistle and blew it.

"Woo——"

A melodious whistle sounded, the power of the spiritual candle condensed into a horse, and the candle burned.

"Eh-"

The candlelight pony raised its front hooves and screamed.

Guagua got on his horse and was about to set off, but saw no reaction from the sky behind him.

"What are you doing, where is your horse?"

Guagua feels bad.

"I don't have a horse." As expected, Tianji's answer hit home.

Guagua covered his face, he should have thought of it a long time ago. Although this guy is a big shot in terms of technology, he is a newbie in other aspects.

"Forget it." Guagua reached out to him angrily: "Come up!"

"This..." Tianji heard the words, and the calm look on his face suddenly disappeared. Instead, he waved his hands in a panic: "A man and a woman are riding together on the same horse. How does this make..."

"It's okay, I don't mind, come up quickly." Guagua frowned slightly.

"I can't do it. I can't do it." Tianji shook his head.

"It's just a game, hurry up, if some important NPC dies, it will be over." Guagua was a little impatient.

"No, my mother said..." Tianji still refused.

"..."

Guagua’s teeth rattled.

"Stop fucking nonsense! I'm telling you to come up!"

Guagua finally couldn't help but burst out, roaring angrily, her original delicate voice disappeared.

She didn't mind anything, and this guy even tricked Tang Seng into death.

I didn't feel sorry for you when I kicked my ass just now!

This sudden roar startled Tianji all over.

After a while, he swallowed, not daring to refuse anymore, and quickly got on his horse.

But his hands were very honest, firmly supporting the horse's ass.

"You're afraid you won't be able to fall, right?"

"Hold your waist!"

Guagua glared at him and yelled again.

Tianji shrank his neck again, and then quickly reached out and grabbed her waist.

"Can't stand it..."

Guagua took a deep breath... This sweet girl really couldn't pretend anymore.

"Hey!"

In an instant, the candlelight horse's hooves staggered, carrying the two of them towards the source of the sound at high speed.

Wow!

From time to time, tree trunks of corpses were broken open and lodging insects appeared along the way, but they could not catch up with the extremely fast and agile candlelight horse.

Some unlucky lodging bugs were even trampled hard by horses' hooves and turned into a pool of blood and mud.

The bone trees on both sides were retreating backwards at a very fast speed. The branches made of fingers and hand bones were weirdly winding, like evil spirits in hell, trying to drag people into the abyss.

"Hold on tight!"

Snap!

Seeing a huge skeletal tree root lying in front of him, Guagua warned him without thinking for a moment, and then directly lifted the reins.

The candlelight pony also raised its hooves and leaped high in an instant.

In mid-air, the two of them crossed the shadows, their hair flying, and time seemed to be frozen at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Tianji was stunned.

This... is simply... heroic!

Boom!

But the next moment, a heavy jolting sensation brought him back to reality by physical means.

The two began to run wildly in the forest of bones again.

The faint cry for help became increasingly clear.

It seemed to be a girl's voice.

Guagua concentrated on searching for the source and direction of the sound.

Not long after, a huge corpse tree appeared in the sight of the two, with both branches and trunks becoming thicker.

And in the nearby ground and winding tree roots, there are bulging sacs, which seem to be pregnant with something.

Ta da...

The speed of the candlelight spirit horse gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

As Guagua put away the candle bone whistle, the candle spirit horse also turned into little flames and dissipated.

As soon as he dismounted, Tianji quickly moved his position to the side.

I don't know if it's out of fear or shyness.

His behavior was naturally noticed by Guagua. Her face darkened and she warned: "Don't say a word of what happened just now to others. You won't hear it!"

The tyrannical sound of the sweet girl's appearance makes Tianji feel fragmented and a bit scary.

"Okay." Tianji nodded fiercely.

"That's right." Hearing this, Guagua, who had been sullen just now, suddenly showed a bright smile.

Gudong.

Tianji secretly swallowed his saliva at the speed of changing his face like turning a page in a book.

This woman's true face is really scary...

After warning Tianji, Guagua came to the nearby milestone candle and touched the fire.

Then, the two set their sights on the huge corpse tree in front of them.

Guagua frowned slightly.

There were almost no other corpse trees around this giant corpse tree, but its roots and branches almost covered the entire venue, and the depth of its entanglements was really shocking.

And under those bulging roots, something was surging from time to time.

"Help...help...me..."

The girl's weak call came from the trunk of this corpse tree.

There was no information displayed.

There were no monsters that suddenly appeared around.

But the atmosphere was surprisingly weird.

"Something is wrong." Tianji also frowned at this time: "Can this cry for help be transmitted so far? I'm afraid it's a trap."

"Do you need to tell me?" Guagua rolled her eyes. She was a rookie, but not stupid, and she didn't need a newbie to remind her.

"Anyway, playing games is like this. Even if you know it's a trap, you have to step on it and test it."

Guagua spread his hands.

Tianji was silent after hearing this.

That's really the truth.

Just like you know that this treasure chest may jump up and bite you, but you still have to open the box or attack it to trigger... the mechanism.

"However, we may choose a safer way."

Guagua thought.

"Got it!"

"This spell is just right, no wonder everyone recommends it."

Guagua looked excited, and the next moment, she turned into an iron-faced warlock, raised her hand wearing an execution glove, burned the flames of war, and activated the spell.

Not long after, the mental power flew out of her hand and condensed, forming a slightly blurred clone with power still losing.

"What is this?" Tianji was a little confused.

"See for yourself." Guagua directly shared the information on the team channel.

[Spell·Thief Phantom]

[Type: Embers]

[Effect: Consume mental power to build a phantom controlled by you, which has no attack ability, but is compatible with your physical characteristics. 】

[Explanation: Although most mages are kind-hearted and virtuous, there are always some who do not like to take the ordinary path. They are keen on the treasures buried in ancient tombs, but they are troubled by the dangers hidden in them, so they use their talents in some strange places...]

Thief Phantom!

This spell has no attack ability, nor does it have the ability to force taunts and attract hatred, and it cannot carry anything. Its main function is to explore the way.

But in the mage discussion post in the Lingzhu Forum, many mage players highly recommend it and assert that this spell will definitely be very useful.

Sure enough, Guagua put it to use now.

"Go!"

Guagua commanded his thief phantom to walk up carelessly.

The thief phantom was very arrogant and turned around again and again near the giant corpse tree.

Then, when it reached a flat ground that was not covered by tree roots, the ground exploded with a bang, and several parasitic insect sacs crawled out with a hiss and attacked the thief phantom.

Bang!

After being attacked, the phantom of the thief dissipated directly.

"Sure enough, there is a trap!"

As expected, the area near the giant corpse tree is not safe.

"Hiss?"

The parasitic sac cried out twice after hitting the empty space, and looked around again, but Guagua and Tianji were far away and were not seen by the parasitic sac.

After searching in vain, the parasitic sac had to return empty-handed and drilled into the roots of the corpse tree buried underground again.

Then.

Guagua tried several more times.

Tianji watched silently from the side. The magic used by this mage was still very interesting.

After a while.

The dangerous position near the corpse tree was finally explored by Guagua.

There are many parasitic sacs hidden in the roots of the corpse tree, covering the ground, forming a soft and sticky insect nest.

If there was no thief phantom to test, they would have to feel a wave of parasites swallowing them alive on the spot...

"Help...Help...me..."

The cry for help from the giant corpse tree still echoed in their ears.

"What should we do next?" Tianji looked at Guagua and asked.

"What else can we do? Go up and see if we can open this tree."

Guagua rolled his eyes.

The thief phantom played its greatest role, and then they could only rely on their own strength.

Then, Guagua carefully used the Mitres Starlight to attack the giant corpse tree.

The bark was broken, and black blood flowed from it, but there was no special reaction from the corpse tree.

It seems that this giant corpse tree may not be a monster.

Guagua originally planned to continue to smash it directly, but the giant corpse tree soon began to repair itself, and her attack speed could never exceed the repair speed of the giant corpse tree.

Moreover, seemingly disturbed by the attack on the giant skeleton tree, the parasitic insect sacs also jumped out one after another and began to move towards her, trying to find the source of the attack.

"No, we still have to find a way to deal with all these parasitic insect sacs."

Tianji shook his head and said.

If they just attacked the giant skeleton tree, they would most likely be attacked by a group of parasitic insect sacs, and in that case, they would face great risks.

Guagua also realized this.

But this is also relatively easy to solve.

Soon, the two began to cooperate, one near and one far away. Guagua was responsible for pulling monsters, while Tianji was responsible for dealing with the parasitic sacs and parasitic worms.

Although there were many of these worms, one of them was a hardcore player and the other had excellent skills, so they completely cleared them after a while.

And the refresh time of these parasitic sacs seemed to be very long, which gave them plenty of time to do the next thing.

"I'll go."

Tianji exhaled and said, looking at the giant corpse tree.

"Leave it to you." He volunteered, and Guagua naturally agreed... She really didn't want to experience the experience of being hit in the face and drilled in the mouth by the parasitic worms again.

Tianji soon came to the giant corpse tree.

Tianji's arrival did not cause any reaction from the corpse tree.

The cry for help in the corpse tree became clearer and clearer, and it could be confirmed that it came from the thickest part of the trunk.

Tianji pulled out a reinforced candlelight scimitar.

This was bought by him, and it was a weapon discarded by some players, which was just right for him.

Huh!

The flames of war instantly spread over the entire blade.

The next moment, Tianji found the right position and stabbed in with a knife.

The black blood in the corpse tree immediately flowed down, and the broken bones in it rubbed against the blade, making a slight sound.

The giant corpse tree still did not react.

Seeing this, Tianji held the handle of the knife with both hands, and the flames of war became more vigorous, and he slashed it downwards fiercely.

Accompanied by a chilling sound of flesh and blood tearing, more black blood flowed out, just like the "sap" stored in the heart of the corpse tree.

After tearing a big hole.

Tianji directly retracted the candlelight scimitar and inserted his hands burning with flames of war into the gap.

The giant corpse tree has a strong recovery ability. If you just want to use a weapon to open the hole, it is likely that the bottom will heal after cutting the top.

So Tianji directly chose to tear it by hand.

Wow... La...

More black blood gushed out, mixed with a large amount of broken bones and meat tissues, and the stench made people's scalps numb.

Tianji, whose senses were indistinguishable from reality, was hit hard in both his sense of touch, vision and smell, and his face turned pale.

But he still gritted his teeth and held his breath to tear the gap bigger and bigger.

Until the black blood was completely lost.

A black-haired girl curled up with her knees hugged also appeared in Tianji's sight, and her simple clothes were soaked with black blood.

She seemed to be unconscious, but her lips were still unconsciously humming for help.

"This... there really is someone in there!"

Guagua also came to Tianji carefully at this time, and was shocked when he saw the girl in the giant corpse tree.

[Human girl in the corpse tree]

In their eyes, there was only such a message that was almost useless.

"Save her first."

Guagua stepped forward without saying a word and prepared to reach out and take her out of the corpse tree.

"I'll do it." Tianji said.

Then he stretched out his hand.

Seeing this, Guagua nodded secretly, thinking that this little brother was still very reliable.

During the process of freeing the girl, Tianji was also very vigilant.

A girl in a skeleton tree, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for her to be safe.

She is very likely to become a terrible monster in the next second.

However, his worry seems to be over-concerned.

The two quickly took her out of the giant skeleton tree in an instant.

However, the several tree umbilical cord-like things on the girl's back spine attracted their attention again.

"This... it shouldn't be a problem to cut it off?" Guagua hesitated, not knowing whether to do so.

However, the scene that happened next made her not have to worry about it.

With a crash, perhaps because all the black blood in the heart of the tree was lost, the giant skeleton tree seemed to have lost its vitality, collapsed with a bang, and turned into a pool of barbecue.

The umbilical cord-like objects also withered and fell off.

I must fight tomorrow!
