It didn't take long for Lumian, Franca, and Anthony to get close to the "Shadow Tree" and be within Susanna's range.
One of them had used up all the mystic smelling salts and was wrapped in red flames. His skin had become numb, but his flesh and blood were still in pain. One of them was lithe and kept changing positions. From time to time, he would sniff the metal bottle in his palm and make a sneezing sound. Another one used the "comforting" ability of a "psychologist" to calm his emotions and desires.
Susanna was in the virtual tree canopy, only four or five meters away from the ground. Matisse snorted, and his eyes reflected Franca, who was wearing a lady's shirt and light-colored breeches.
Franka suddenly felt a strong fear.
But this fear did not come from the outside world, nor was it abnormally magnified. Instead, it came from her perception of the current situation and her desire to survive.
Susanna, who was combined with the strange giant tree, could not be simply treated as a Sequence 5. Rather, it should be seen as a weakened Sequence 4 without the incomplete mythological creature form!
Franca felt that she, Lumian, and the information dealer would be defeated by Susanna Mathis in a short time.
Save yourself before saving others!
Even though she kept sneezing, Franca stopped, unable to suppress her desire to survive. She struggled, wanting to escape, but she felt that she shouldn't abandon her teammates.
Susanna Mathis's green eyes looked at Anthony Reid again.
The intelligence dealer, whose emotions and desires were in a stable state, suddenly shuddered and felt the familiar fear surging from the bottom of his heart again.
A "spectator" with serious psychological defects is so easy to deal with...
Anthony Reid was clearly aware of his situation, but was powerless to fight it.
He sighed helplessly, and when the "comfort" failed, he trembled and found a nearby corner, covering his head, his body and mind occupied by fear.
Susanna Mathis quickly dealt with Lumian's two teammates, preventing them from providing any help for a short period of time.
She then turned her gaze towards Lumian, who was less than ten meters away from the Shadow Tree.
As an evil spirit, she has her own extremes and obsessions that she cannot overcome, and she also wants to catch this sacrifice.
Although this ceremony has caused quite a stir, with many saints and even angels rushing to stop it, and it has little chance of success, the "Shadow Tree" cannot be destroyed, and even the damage it suffers will not be too serious. Unless the "Eternal Sun" or the "God of Steam and Machinery" is willing to bury millions of people living in Twelve and expose more serious problems underground, otherwise, if this time fails, there will be next time, and if the next time fails, there will be the next time after that.
As long as the sacrifice that perfectly seals an angel is under his control, it won't be long before he can try again!
Therefore, the evil spirit Susanna Mathis still wants to capture Lumian alive.
In an instant, Lumian also slowed down his pace, his mind filled with the same thoughts: "I can't die, I can't die, if I die, Auror will never have a chance to be resurrected..." I have to survive, find out the truth about the disaster in Cordu Village, and find out why Auror believes in fate...
"These people have nothing to do with me. If they die, they die. Aren't there enough people dying in this world every day? Can we take care of them
Lumian ran slower and slower, his expression twisted.
The red flames on his body were still burning, still causing him pain, stimulation, and keeping him awake to a certain extent.
But the more awake a person is, the more he wants to live.
This time, Susanna's influence on his desire finally did not fail.
This "Fallen Dryad" caused the "Shadow Tree" to drop a large number of vines, branches and trunks, trapping Lumian in a circle with a radius of less than ten meters.
This place has been turned into a "primeval forest" with an astonishing density of plants. The roots, vines, and branches have grown wet, pale flowers one after another, which emit odorless anesthetic gas, turning this area into a sleeping country.
Such a field
The scene made Lumian's desire to survive and his other thoughts instantly reconcile: only by moving forward, only by killing Susanna Mathis, can he escape the current situation and survive!
Lumian started running again, with semi-illusory red flames condensing behind him, and letting them circle and fly towards Susanna Mathis, who was only four meters off the ground.
He did not think that this could hurt the "Fallen Dryad". After all, on the one hand, Susanna Mathis was combined with the "Shadow Tree" and had strong defense and vitality. On the other hand, she was not stupid and did not know how to dodge attacks and use her extraordinary abilities to protect herself.
Lumian's purpose was only to briefly interrupt Susanna Mathis's gaze so that she could not immediately arouse another desire in him.
This time, the scarlet fire crows were no longer unable to approach the blurred treetops. They passed through the weakened barrier and flew towards Susanna Mathis's body.
Layer upon layer of brown-green vines and branches wrapped around Susanna Mathis's body, wrapping her up like a wooden ball, leaving only a pair of green eyes looking out to the outside world.
Amid the rumbling sounds, the vines and branches were constantly blown away, and new ones were constantly replaced.
At the same time, for Lumian, a distance of less than ten meters was just a blink of an eye.
A large amount of sleeping gas invaded his body, and was first burned and evaporated by the red flames on his body surface, and then neutralized by the smell of burnt flesh and blood. Only a small amount of it entered Lumian's nose.
This made his thinking a little slow and his head a little dizzy, but it did not affect his actions for the time being.
Using inertia, Lumian pushed hard on the brown-green trunk with his left and right hands, quickly ascending two or three meters, then jumped high and looked down at Susanna Mathis.
Behind him, a huge fireball was slowly gathering, and his eyes reflected the wooden brown-green ball and the green eyes of Susanna Matisse.
He seemed to be carrying a huge fireball and smashing his body into the tree canopy, breaking open the brown-green plant ball.
Such a gesture and such a choice have obvious performative elements.
Because Lumian's desire to perform was quietly aroused by Suzanne Matisse, even the continuous pain could only be suppressed a little.
Susanna Mathis smiled, and the surface of the plant ball that wrapped her suddenly sprouted brown-green trunks with sharp tips, just like a hedgehog spreading all its spikes, waiting for the enemy to pounce on her and pierce her!
Once Lumian is severely injured, the vines and branches that make up the ball will curl outwards and completely control the prey.
As the huge fireball gradually condensed, Lumian began to fall.
But he did not pounce on Susanna Mathis. Instead, he looked at her as if she were a fool and stood at the same height as her.
He still did not launch an attack. He continued to fall. Susanna Mathis, who did not wait for him to step into the trap, looked at him with a hint of doubt.
Only after falling below the tree canopy did Lumian make a new move.
The huge fireball that had not yet fully condensed exploded, pushing his vest and causing him to crash into the trunk of the "Shadow Tree" like a cannonball.
In his left hand, he raised the cracked "Corrupted Mercury".
From the beginning, he had not set his target as Susanna Mathis, who had the ability to move freely and the gift of Sequence 5. It would have been highly likely that he would not gain anything and would instead put himself in great danger.
All he hoped for from the beginning to the end was to deal a blow to the "Shadow Tree", a blow from the "Corrupted Mercury"!
Without the upgrade given by Thermiporos, "Corrupted Mercury" would definitely not be able to change the fate of the giant brown-green tree, but Lumian was sure that Susanna Mathis was somehow combined with the "Shadow Tree". As the name suggests, "Corrupted Dryad" must have been a tree before it existed.
This comes not only from Lumian's own observations, but also from Franca's speculations and Susanne Matisse's own admission and expression.
That is to say, after the "Corrupted Mercury" pierces the "Shadow Tree",
"Take this frame with you, and let's go to the back mountain."
Feng Jiuyou opened his mouth and gave orders. Although it had been made, he was still worried because he had not seen any results yet.
"good!"
The three of them didn't take anyone with them and went straight to the back mountain.
After finding a valley, Feng Jiuyou thought it would be a good place for experimentation.
Then he waved his hand to let Feng Chenyi and Wu Xi stop.
"Little sister, why are we here?" Feng Chenyi looked around and saw cliffs everywhere, but he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Third brother, put these in the crevice in the mountain, and you will know soon." Feng Jiuyou did not give a direct answer.
"Okay." Feng Chenyi did as he was told. He stepped on his toes, raised and lowered the frame a few times, and placed the things in the frame in the crevice of the mountain.
"Little sister, should I come back or..." Feng Chenyi asked uncertainly.
"Light the fire." Feng Jiuyou spat out two words in a cold voice, and did not forget to remind Feng Chenyi.
"Third brother, you have to stay away after the fire is lit."
After hearing what Feng Jiuyou said, Feng Chenyi immediately took out a fire starter from his arms and lit the exposed fuse.
Then he used his Qinggong skills to move away, not daring to stay for even a moment.
"Boom... Boom..."
There was a loud bang that shook the valley, and Feng Chenyi, who had just flown into the air, almost lost his breath and fell down.
Feng Jiuyou used her internal energy to shake off the debris that was flying around her.
Wu Xi was already stunned, allowing the rubble to hit him.
At the same time, within a radius of twenty miles.
"Oh my god! What is this? Is it thunder?"
"The ground is shaking, don't tell me it's an earthquake."
…
Feng Jiuyou's actions alarmed quite a few people.
She looked at the effect of the explosives with a cold gaze.
"This... little sister, this is..."
Feng Chenyi returned to Feng Jiuyou with lingering fear and couldn't help picking his ears. His little sister was really something. She didn't even tell him that his ears were going deaf.
"This is dynamite." Feng Jiuyou said indifferently.
She originally didn't want to get the black powder out so quickly, but some people were eager to die, so there was no need for her to hide it.
She not only wanted to get out the black powder, but also the red cannon.
The emergence of some things does not only represent a war of killing, but also represents suppression and deterrence.
And she needs to use something like this to intimidate those villains and let them know how powerful she is.
The false thoughts in my mind were extinguished before they even arose.
Feng Jiuyou didn't believe it. Even a peak warrior was still a mortal. Even if he could avoid the power of black gunpowder, he could not escape the red cannon.
"I don't want these things to be leaked out." Feng Jiuyou looked at Feng Chenyi and Wu Xi very seriously.
Some things can only be a deterrent if they are in your own hands. If the formula were to leak out, the number of casualties would absolutely increase exponentially.
That would be a devastating disaster for the entire world.
Feng Jiuyou didn't want to bear such a heavy cause and effect. Even though she didn't believe in cause and effect, she had to think about the two babies in her belly.
"Little sister, don't worry, I will never reveal anything to anyone else." Feng Chenyi took the lead in expressing his opinion and promised very carefully.
"Moreover, these things were all made by me personally, without anyone else's help."
This is true. Feng Chenyi had seen Feng Jiuyou's cautious attitude towards this matter before, which made him keep an eye on it.
I would rather spend more time than rely on others.
"Miss, don't worry. I know the importance of this matter and will never reveal it to anyone." Wu Xi also quickly expressed his opinion.
