The Amber Sword

Chapter 25: Dead tree

Views:

After entering the valley, the more you go in, the more desolate the environment becomes. There is hardly any vegetation on the surface. The uninhabited mountain road passes through the sharp-toothed sharp rocks. Only withered grass and thorn bushes grow out of the cracks in the rock wall. In the far darkness, there seem to be some withered trees, and the cold wind in the mountains is like It was black smoke passing through the branches, making a creaking sound.

Brando knew this was because the nutrients of the land had been absorbed by the magic tree. He held a torch to reflect the surrounding stone walls. In the shadows, there were occasionally a few white dry bones, which looked like goat-like animals, because Wandering into the restricted area, became the food of the golden magic tree.

Romain held the torch and followed with each other, she looked around nervously and curiously with one hand to protect her bag. This was the first time she had been so far away from home, as if the businessman's dream was about to come true from this moment. The same-the dangers, thorns | excitement, and the wealth and treasures at the unknown end have always been the reasons that support the prosperity of businessmen and adventurers on this continent.

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

Two groups of fires passed through the canyon one after the other, Brando dropped his hand on the hilt, and as soon as he passed through this area in the game, he entered the territory of a kind of monster, the withered beast.

The golden magic tree is a terrible monster, or it should be said that it is a kind of golden tree species. The main body may be a sacred tree such as a Tochi tree or an oak tree. It can be awakened as a golden tree after being implanted with the blood of the god by the "tree shepherd"-the tree shepherd is one of the major cults in the game. Darkness breeds in places where the flames of civilization cannot spread throughout the world. There are not only undead sequences, but also the soil for the survival of cults. In the game, villains like the tree shepherd are acting secretively, leaving their shadows everywhere, like a thread running through it, let 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 under its control into human-shaped monsters, which are called blighted beasts. The withered beasts are like the tentacles and spies of the golden magic tree, and they are all over this canyon.

A single blighted beast is at level 7 in the game, and its combat power is about the same as that of the guards previously seen by Brando, but its intelligence is low. The stronger withered beast is more than thirteenth level, awakening the first level of power is also a tricky opponent for Brando.

The second ability is Demonized Fruit. The fruit of the Golden Demon Tree falls to the ground and splits to give birth to furry savage-like creatures. They will grow up to two meters in height within a day. These are the descendants of the Golden Demon Tree and the elite guards. The levels range from 20 to 2 Between the twelfth level, Brando's only reliance on encountering them is the ring after the wind.

After decades of accumulation, there are already quite a large number of these demons and withered beasts in the canyon. If Brando hadn't relied on him, he and Roman would have nothing to pass through the canyon in peace. Possible thing. Of course, the Golden Devil Tree itself is also quite strong. After all, it is a monster that has entered the second level of strength, but the young man has no intention to provoke it at all-he knows where it is and naturally will not approach it.

Along the way, only the rustle of two people's footsteps were left, and they seemed a little scared among the loneliness. But Brando felt a familiar taste. In the past, he was the same person who brought in a large coil of rope, torches, oil lamps, hooks and dry food, and then followed the route that he had traveled thousands of times to find the golden magic tree. Trouble.

The golden magic tree produced 20Oz to 30Oz power-level equipment, and it was almost the best to drop at that time. At that time, all players with a little skill would choose to do it—especially the rumored heart of the golden tree, which restores 1 point every minute Life is an artifact in the early days of the game.

But I am afraid that the only difference now is that there is a future businessman behind him. Brando suddenly has a feeling of adventuring in the mountains with his favorite girl. 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 opponent's gaze was resting on his hand. He was slightly startled, and found that the thorn of clear light in his hand was oozing white light from the scabbard.

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

He drew out the sword, and when the thorn of light pointed in a direction, it was obvious that the light on the sword was brighter, and Brando immediately learned that the group of undead was in this direction. He stretched his hand back to signal Roman to move further, then extinguished the torch and moved it step by step.

There is indeed a small group of undead in the canyon, but these bone frames are also in trouble at the moment. It was Kabka the corpse witch who led them. Its performance in Buche not only let go of the human scout, but also caused a colleague to send it here. One is to punish its disappointing performance. , The second is to remind it not to rush to be too smart in front of the boss or master.

Kabka certainly understands, but the more important thing is how to block the attack of the three monsters in front of him.

At first it and its skeleton soldiers killed a creature that was covered in thorny branches and stood up like a human-shaped bush in the canyon. At this moment, their kind seems to have come to the door. There are three heads. These monsters are shrouded in a pile of withered branches. Under the heads, there are two groups of sparkling fire staring at these undead creatures. There are several broken bones around them. .

The battle seems to be on the verge.

What are these roots and sod? The green flames in Kabka's eyes flashed and dimmed.

Seeing that the other party was about to attack again, he had to bite the bullet and put on a strong bow, draw the dark blue soul fire to light the arrow cluster, and then shoot out a wave of arrows—he didn't expect two withered beasts to be covered with flames. He quickly made a hissing scream, and turned into two burning flames on the sand.

The corpse witch immediately let out a quack of laughter. This thing is stronger than the skeleton soldiers under it, but as long as it is a plant, it is afraid of fire. By the way, why didn't it think of this before, it's really misguided. Kabka raised the bone stick and banged half of the last withered beast to explode, and sawdust flying all over the sky.

Looking at the corpse witch dancing and dancing there, Brando, who climbed onto a protruding white rock behind him, couldn't help being amused. This is really unrelenting, dare to use magic here. Magic is one of the most favorite nutrients of the golden magic tree. The golden magic tree's desire for it is like a drug. As long as there is a trace of magic fluctuations in this area, the latter will find it immediately, and the corpse witch does not know it yet. Please die.

But he also has some troubles. After all, he and Roman are also here. They must find a way to go to a higher place as soon as possible, otherwise they will be buried with these empty souls.

He turned his head and pulled Roman up below. The merchant lady saw the small group of undead below, and couldn't help blinking. The bright eyes were not afraid, but curious.

"I recognize that corpse witch," she whispered.

"Hush!"

The undead is so easy to recognize, Brando only acts as Roman telling a joke. Between the skeleton soldier and the skeleton soldier, the corpse witch and the corpse witch, there is almost no difference in appearance except for the soul fluctuations. 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 saw it from a distance last time in your house." The merchant said swearingly.

"Yeen, keep it quiet, we can't eat them if we are shocked."

Brando narrowed his eyes, and he had already seen some rustling shadows appearing in the shadows. The way of action should be withered beasts. After he counted thirty, he couldn't count them anymore. There were too many. And it's too dark. However, the corpse witch has not ordered the skeleton soldiers to extinguish the soul fire on the arrow clusters. Plants have phototaxis, and he has already concluded in his heart that he regards the opponent as a skeleton of bones scattered on the ground.

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

"Well, come with me. Lower your body and don't disturb them—"

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

He remembered that in the game, teaming up with some female teammates to enter some terrible places, and often met yelling. This is not the most embarrassing, but some men are also embarrassing.

As he thought, he looked down silently—

With the corpse witch and its skeleton soldiers as the center, withered beasts have gathered into several torrents. Kabka finally felt that something was wrong. It subconsciously chanted the magic spell of the dark curtain, but only halfway through it, he saw two dark red monsters rushing out of the cracks in the rock and blasting its skull. The soldiers were torn to pieces.

Martha is on, Lord Rothko! What the hell is this, there is no need for surveillance here!

Kabka didn't miss his men at all, and there was no mercy in Madara's army. Of course, the idea of saving oneself is allowed, so it rushed to the rock behind. The dexterity and power of the corpse witch are not low, but most people are easily confused by the appearance of their mage.

But Brando didn't appreciate this scene at all at this moment, because he saw that the corpse witch actually came up to him.

I go, can't you choose a better direction

At this moment, he didn't even dare to pull out the thorn of the blazing light | out| here, otherwise he was holding something like a light stick in the darkness, wouldn't he be the target of the public immediately

But he immediately saw a dark red withered beast suddenly jumped up and grabbed the corpse witch's calf bone. Drag it down to sink. At this moment, the canyon was already surrounded by withered beasts. The skeleton soldier was afraid that it would be torn to pieces early in the morning. As long as Kabka hesitated for a second, he would immediately follow in his footsteps.

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

At the same time, he felt Roman clinging to his shoulders tightly behind him, as if he was as nervous as he was. Everyone could see that as long as the corpse witch came closer, it would be possible for the withered beasts to discover it. them.

However, the young girl exhaled like Xinlan, which still made Brando a little worried. He looked back and found that the merchant lady was staring in the other direction.

Huh

Brando subconsciously followed his gaze and took a breath.
