The night takes on a misty lilac, a sign of the dawn. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A few miles away from the Altai camp, in the strange rock city, middle-aged merchants and envoys from the imperial capital chatted in the chamber of commerce.

"Don't you think you're too eager for quick success?"

The Imperial Capital Envoy sighed, put the tea back on the coffee table, and asked in a regretful tone.

No matter what point of view, the middle-aged merchant formed a huge team to explore the area in a few days, and even did not hesitate to use his connections to apply for the support of the mercenary group from the imperial capital, and did such a big move, just because a mysterious young man suddenly appeared - this is not at all in line with the businessman's cautious style.

The plan to explore the unknown area, even if it is done by the royal forces, can take more than ten days to prepare, let alone execute.

With outsiders as the core, he gambled on everything he could plan, which was simply handing over the fate of his life to that mysterious young man. The middle-aged businessman's actions were too risky, so he made such an inquiry.

"Yes, gambling is something that only a madman can do." The middle-aged merchant paused, "Even if I succeed this time, I will always be transferred out because of my risky move this time, for the big chamber of commerce, even if a stupid miser is at the helm, it is better than a madman who will win every gamble." ”

"You know this, and you still want to do this, I really don't understand, is your time so tight?"

The imperial capital came to make the doubt in his eyes even thicker.

If the middle-aged merchant was facing the fate of being dismissed, his gesture of giving it a go would be easy to understand - but the problem was that, according to the information provided by the headquarters, the middle-aged businessman had a lot of achievements in Strange Rock City, and his future was completely open.

Once this mission fails, the middle-aged businessman will definitely fall into an absolute death, and the thought of this makes the royal family's heart chill.

What was it that drove him to give up his great prospects and do such crazy things?

"Hahaha, it's important to look at people, and it's also important to be able to bet unexpectedly."

"If you bet too much, you will lose, and if you win a big bet, you can change your fate, unless you are a saint, as long as you are a businessman, no one can stand this temptation."

As he pondered whether the middle-aged merchant was possessed by a demon, the middle-aged merchant let out a loud laugh, leaving the latter stunned for a while.

"After the deed is completed, I may be transferred to the headquarters, as I said before, 100,000 Astaire gold coins."

The confident speech made the head of the royal family dizzy, and he no longer knew how to deal with it.

One hundred thousand astaires is by no means a small amount, it is a wealth that can make him luxurious for a lifetime, thinking of this, the royal family can't help but swallow, this small action makes the middle-aged businessman's smile even stronger.

"Then I'll gamble with you."

I wanted to say this arrogantly, but when it came to my lips, my voice weakened, and the royal family came to hold the middle-aged merchant's hand while annoying at his poor performance.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

With a business grin, the middle-aged businessman ended the night-long secret meeting with these words.

It's a pity that the royal envoy hasn't noticed that the clothes on the back of the middle-aged businessman have long been soaked with sweat.

・・・

The roar of the explosion echoed through the jungle, and the place where Leo passed was in a state of utter ruin, and the footprints left on the ground were covered with cracks, showing the strength of his strength.

The two white flames in the field of vision parted, one nearly extinguished, and the other was no better.

At this time, the more anxious he was, the more he could not achieve his goal, Leo, who had completely calmed down, stepped on the trunk of a tree, and his body shot out of the jungle like a cannonball, and the [Soul Suppression] blue light in his hand was released, illuminating the swamp not far away.

A large expanse of the night was dispelled, and an unusually bright yellow figure emerged from the night, as if sensing something, and it calmly turned sideways and looked into the deep night sky.

While it was staring at Leo, Leo was also staring at it.

"It's a [Fury Monster]?"

Leo was a little surprised, with his excellent eyesight, the appearance of the flame monster was clearly visible in the blue light, exactly the same as the appearance of a certain monster in his memory.

[Fury Molten Monster] is a monster belonging to the forces of hell in "Sword of the Riptide", distributed in the places where the fire element gathers in the map, the level is generally above LV50, and the body is extremely large, and it can catch 4 or 5 players with just the palm of your hand. As long as this kind of monster appears, it must be a blue-level boss monster.

However, the [Fury Monster] that Leo encountered seemed to be only two people tall, and it was not much smaller than the monster in his memory.

A turquoise light suddenly shot out from somewhere in the mist, striking Leo in mid-air like lightning, but was blocked by the [Demon Guardian Spirit] that opened in time.

There was a crisp cracking sound, and the green points of light slowly dispersed, and Leo looked sideways, and a slight crack appeared in the pale blue shield.

Although the effect of the [Third Protection] had disappeared at this time, the blow just now still damaged the [Demon Guardian Spirit], at least the power of the third-level warrior's full blow, he estimated so, looking at the undispelled mist somewhere below, there was a vague green phantom inside.

It was impossible to discern its identity just by looking at it like this, and a sneer appeared on Leo's face, and he landed lightly somewhere on the trunk of the tree, and with a force of his feet, he struck towards the green phantom closest to him.

The two knight's swords were like the moonlight that suddenly poured down in the misty night sky, and slashed down in a flying manner.

[Spike] + [White Hot]!

Before the sharp blade came, the dazzling white light split the thin mist, and the turquoise humanoid body became clear, and two points of green light flickered on the top, like the eyes of a monster.

The whole body is woven of tree trunks and rattans, and it is only slightly taller than the [Fury Molten Monster], but due to the unusually dazzling green light on its body, it looks very tall hidden in the mist.

"Sure enough."

Leo muttered to himself, a familiar monster again.

The same monster belonging to the forces of hell in "Sword of the Riptide",[Fuji Tree Devil],Living in places where the earth element and wood element are luxuriant,Often disguise yourself with ordinary tree appearances,Attack players with despicable means,The level is generally between LV50~LV60,It's a relatively ordinary white boss monster.,If you completely liberate your body.,It'll become a humanoid tree monster that's bigger than [Fury Monster].

But at this time, in front of Leo's eyes, this [Fuji Tree Devil] is obviously in the form of liberating the body, but why is it still so small?

If it was really the [Fujiki Devil] above LV50 in "Sword of the Riptide", that [Endo Strike] just now would be enough to kill him countless times, and there was probably a number in his heart, Leo increased the strength of the sword in his hand.

The snow-bright white slash sliced through the body of the [Vine Tree Devil] with unimaginable speed, and the green juice spurted out, but Leo dodged it with one sideways turn.

An angry roar came from above, and the two clusters of light on the top of the tree moved rapidly, as if trying to capture Leo's location.

At the same time, it raised its huge vine arms on both sides, emitting a sluggish green light, trying to hug him.

"Ding! Due to the effect of [Cultivation Ring], the special skill [Slow Shine] is neutralized! ”

The red light emitted by the artifact [Cultivation Ring] directly blocked the green light outside, and Leo did not dodge or dodge, staggered the knight's sword in his hand, and then closed it.

Instant [White Heat]!

The two knight swords pierced into the two vine arms of the [Vine Tree Devil], the green juice splashed, it roared and closed the two vine arms, a huge collision sounded, the juice spilled on the ground, and the two knight swords pierced on the vine arms twisted into shape.

Unexpectedly, crushing the enemy to death, the [Fuji Tree Devil] looked at the empty front and shook the body of the tree.

The cold wind flickered, and the brand-new snow-white blade slashed through its tree from behind and stabbed straight out from the front, spilling green liquid desperately.

I wanted to take the opportunity to launch the [Silver Moon Slash] and kill the injured [Fuji Tree Devil] directly, but feeling a premonition of danger behind him, Leo sighed regretfully, moved his body, and left there.

The [Fuji Tree Devil] roared angrily when he was attacked, but the next moment he was hit by a sudden fireball.

Sparks and flames scattered, the scorching stench filled, and the belated Angry Molten Monster roared, leaving a trail of fire on the soft mud of the swamp.

The green light flickered, and the [Tengshu Devil] on the side was a little sluggish, most of the tree was scorched black, and the wound caused by Leo before was still dripping with liquid, and it squirmed, transforming into an ordinary tree in the blink of an eye.

In the state of an ordinary plant, the health recovery rate of [Tengshu Devil] will be greatly increased, which is the basic common sense that should be used to fight against it.

However, if you want to take advantage of the victory, you have to deal with the flame monster that stands in your way, and the [Fury Molten Monster] in front of Leo keeps roaring, and the flame arms on both sides pound the ground, and the charred black mud splashes.

Apparently the Angry Melter also sensed Leo's trick and wanted to intimidate him in this way in order to avoid the fight.

Leo, who was considering whether to take the opportunity to launch the [Silver Moon Slash] and cut the two monsters in half, caught a glimpse of the white flame that was about to be extinguished in his field of vision, gritted his teeth, and put down the knight's sword that was raised flat.

To take into account the overall situation, he is here to save people, so this is just a strategic retreat, he comforts himself so much.

Without much hesitation, he ran to a nearby swamp and quickly disappeared from the sight of the two monsters.

The roar faded as Leo's figure faded away, and the swelling flame body shrank like a frosted eggplant - in fact, it was already at the end of the crossbow, and it was just a bluff.

The strength of that human just now shocked them too much, and it had no doubt that there would be only one result if they continued to stalemate.

It is to become a real ghost under his sword.

Picking up the tree that the [Tengshu Devil] had turned into and uprooting it, regardless of its low roar, the [Fury Monster] squirmed, and the figure carrying the vine wood gradually disappeared into the mist.

・・・

Neil had given up the struggle by this time, and the surging dark mud was almost submerging his neck.

I thought I would be torn to shreds by the two monsters, but they left suddenly—perhaps knowing that he was going to die.

The dark element here is extremely rich, and there is a strange suction force under the swamp, and he even feels a little dizzy in his brain, as a mercenary, although he has long been downset about death, he still feels that this way of death is too whimsy.

When people are dying, they always like to find faults.

Thinking so, Neil let out a self-deprecating sneer, then sighed.

"It's the first time I've ever known someone who would laugh out loud because they're dying."

Neil, who heard the voice, was stunned, raised his head in a daze, and a soft blue light came from above, although the other party's appearance was not clear, but he was very impressed by the voice.

His eyes instantly moistened, and he felt so good for the rest of his life.

As if waiting for something, Neil gritted his teeth slightly, forced the rising shame, and shouted loudly.

"Mr. Commander, help!"
