Chapter 92: The Golden and Pure World (I)
The energy in the body of the Tree of Suffering, which had just woken up in its full form, could be said to be empty.
Until the Tree of Affliction has enough natural energy to unleash its resistance and immunity from burning, its vines are not much of a threat to the Profession.
In the early days, its hunting method was limited to using tree roots as spears to assassinate from the bottom up. Only after the Tree of Suffering has drained the life force of many people can it replenish its own energy.
Qingguo Avenue, Ribblade Street, Broken Throat Avenue, and Golden Lion Avenue have all been blown up from the middle by Roland, and under the pile of rubble, the root system of the Tree of Suffering has now been confined to the scope of one street by Roland.
After the Tree of Suffering's hunting range was suppressed on Ribblade Street, Roland let Kakarit run away with the people of Ribblade Street.
The compound explosion also damaged the defenseless body of the Tree of Affliction, so that even if it looted energy, it had to use it to repair itself.
At the same time, the explosion blew the ground beneath the Crucifixion Tree, causing it to fall into the sewers. But that was the only place where Roland deliberately let go when he led Dekker and the others to plunder the walking corpses. Driven by Roland, many street walking corpses are now gathered there.
As a former Golden Oak Druid, the Tree of Suffering, full of positive energy, is undoubtedly an enemy of life and death in the eyes of the walking corpse.
Although these weak chickens will definitely not be able to hurt the Tree of Affliction for a while, if there is enough time, the overflowing negative energy can slowly erode the body of the Tree of Suffering!
You know, the immortality of the Tree of Affliction comes from its terrifying ability to absorb life. With the blessing of its origin, all damage it deals can be 100% restored to itself. The Tree of Suffering, which is now unable to absorb the energy of the living, is not immortal.
What's more, the energy in the body of the Tree of Affliction is now empty, if the Tree of Affliction that has already been injured by the explosion dares to attack the walking corpse without food, then when that pure negative energy flows into the body of the Tree of Suffering. Internally, these extremely large negative energies will cause great damage to the Tree of Affliction. It's like sulfuric acid flowing through the stomach lining.
Even if this damage still can't kill the vigorous Tree of Affliction, it can at least seal it in the sewers to buy time for Roland to prepare enough plague to kill it.
Roland narrowed his eyes slightly, took a few deep breaths, and pressed down the almost boiling blood.
It's not time yet......
A few minutes to go...... Give me two more minutes......
"Lord Orlando, beyond that is the territory of the Blood Lion Society."
That's when it happened. leaned into Roland's ear and asked with some hesitation, "Shall we stop here?" Anyway, when you get here, the water won't be able to pass for a while......"
"Don't worry."
Roland glanced back and saw that the waterline had receded out of sight, and then he replied casually.
"The Blood Lion will not stop us."
"How is that possible? Those crazy people who want money and don't want to die...... How so? ”
Dekker was surprised to find that the fanatics of the Blood Lion Society had really retreated to both sides as Roland had said.
How is this possible!
was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.
And Joseph Sr. knew much more about the City of Fortune than Dyck because of his mission to enter the City of Wealth, so he was even more surprised than.
The Blood Knight is notoriously unsentimental. Not to mention the people from the other streets of the City of Wealth, even if the same mountain people want to pass through the territory of his Blood Lion Society, they must pull out a layer of skin - according to the head.
And if you shout something like "I don't have any money", the result is simple - the Blood Knight won't let you pass or kill you. He'll just peel off your nails. To be more detailed, it is to clamp the edge of the nail with iron tongs, and then pull it down directly.
Generally speaking, by the time the third or fourth nail is pulled, the person will usually have money.
It is said that the nails in the Blood Knight's house can fill a room.
And the idea of violently rushing through the level is not to be considered. In the entire City of Wealth, except for a few strong people who have awakened the origin such as the Professor, no one else can defeat the Blood Knight.
I heard that the strength of the Blood Knight has far surpassed the Golden Rank, as long as he wants. Awakening to the Origin at any time.
Some people say that the Blood Knight is afraid that the Awakening Origin will affect his personality. That's why he deliberately stuck at the top of the Golden Tier and didn't break through; It is also said that the Blood Knight is a member of the Society of Temporary, hates immortals, and therefore never awakens to the origin, etc. Either way there is a lot of corroboration that no one can refute. But because of this, the blood knight became more and more mysterious.
But Roland and the others had somehow rushed through the blockade of the Blood Lion Society, and it wasn't over - old Joseph saw it clearly. The Blood Knight, who was standing at the front of the crowd, bowed respectfully at Roland.
How can it be?!
Who the hell is an Orlando adult?
Joseph Sr.'s heart was turbulent, and countless speculations crossed his mind, but none of them could meet the situation in front of him.
He couldn't help but feel a little frightened. But beyond the fear, there is also a faint excitement.
"Åland ......"
"My lord! Let's get the Blood Lions to run south together! Before Joseph could speak, Deke exclaimed excitedly, "If the water comes over." It won't be good for them either - if the Blood Lion will join us. Fararuo's Frontier Army will not be able to stop us! ”
Tsk, slow down.
Old Joseph scratched his head in annoyance.
Actually, that's what he thought. While the addition of the Blood Lion will deal a huge blow to the prestige of Roland's "Men in Black", it can enrich their combat power.
After all, almost all of these people brought out by Roland were civilians, with no professional level and no combat ability. The very few people with a professional rank who had already sworn allegiance to Roland in the sewers.
In this case, Roland has more people, so he will naturally despise Joseph and a little, and their status will not be as high as at the beginning.
Joseph Sr. actually wanted the Blood Lion Society to join in selfishly - once the Blood Lion would join, not only would the Blood Knight compete with Roland for the right to speak at the instigation of his subordinates, but even Roland's power in the team would be diluted. It was only when he was diluted that Roland became more interested in meeting with Joseph Sr. and Dake.
Old Joseph had not forgotten what Roland had said to Cacarit.
I can pick up Su Ze's handmade alchemy suitcase. It can't be your average wealthy family. From his point of view, with Roland's bearing, he is at least the son of an earl.
"Great idea!"
Sure enough, Roland also said to Dekker with a look of surprise: "Then you go and talk to the blood knight." Remember to put my name on it. ”
"Yes, Lord Orlando!"
Dike nodded vigorously, and then walked past the crowd that was slowly advancing into the Blood Path. Quickly ran to the Blood Knight's side.
Roland looked at his departing figure with a smile, and then, in front of Old Joseph, took out a strange medal from his bosom that looked like four T's connected together.
Old Joseph only heard Roland say: "In the name of unity, mutual assistance, equality, and multiplication, all of them will be detonated at once!" ”
Suddenly, it was as if the entire city of wealth had fallen silent, and it was as if time had stood still.
The golden light slowly shone behind him, like the sunrise.
It only took a breath for the light to shine to the point of blindness. There was no sound, in the frosty silence. A raging heat wave rushed from behind him, and Joseph Sr. was unconsciously pushed by the heat wave.
He looked back in surprise to find that the entire city of wealth was on fire.
Not an exaggeration. Indeed, the "whole" city of wealth.
Anyone who stepped on "water" burned up.
Every house, every building, every person—merchants, nobles, commoners, scoundrels, nightingales, or cans—all burned up.
Golden, sparkling flames that shimmer like fine wine flow on the ground. Like a liquid purgatory, everything that touches it burns out.
Old Joseph saw it clearly. There was a young lady who was whipping her disobedient slave and accidentally touched the corner of her skirt by the fire. Peng's sudden transformation into a burning man. She lifted her pale face, kissed by the smokeless flames, and her long golden morning hair was instantly ignited, and her whole person suddenly turned into a torch, and then burst open and swallowed her slaves together.
And when Joseph Sr. turned back tremblingly, he found that Dake had not stepped on water, but he had burst out of his trouser legs with a terrible flame. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a puddle of ashes.
――――――
"The water over there is always spraying, and it can't be poured in...... I had to throw the flask down and smash it with the invisible blade," Dakker looked nervous, "Speaking of which, Lord Orlando. What exactly does this potion do? The water over there is up to my knees, and I can't guarantee that I haven't gotten these potions on me after standing there for so long......"
"Ah, you don't have to be nervous," Roland's voice was calm and calm, "I told you to pour those potions because I was worried about the walking corpses in the sewers, as long as these potions were spilled, those walking corpses would burn to the ground...... After all, those things that are not afraid of flooding will not be good if they are washed out by this big wave. ”
――――――
Old Joseph's heart suddenly crossed over what Dake and Lord Orlando had said before, and his hands and feet couldn't help but be cold.
Won't it ...... This flame ...... And the explosion before it......
His teeth chattered with fear. With great courage, he shrank back and looked back, only to see the black clothes on Roland's body hunting in the fierce wind like a dragon's roar, dancing forward frantically like dark minions, and under the black robe, a pair of dark eyes were staring at him tightly at the moment-
"I suddenly felt that only one of my heartfelt subordinates was enough, what do you think?"
“…… Adult Mingjian. ”
Old Joseph bit the tip of his tongue hard and bowed his head respectfully. (To be continued......)
PS: If you feel that the plot of the previous chapter unfolded a little abruptly, don't doubt it, because I jumped the plot. Recently, too many people have told me that the pace of the plot is too slow, so I jumped a lot of content and went straight to the high. It's tidal.
In the original plan, Roland should have taken his followers and Kruvien to fight the Ravens together, then cut to the temple of Tyre, describe what happened in the City of Fortune from the perspective of the Templars, and lead to the conspiracy of the Truth Society, followed by a whole chapter of monologues by the professor, then the walking corpses swimming in the water to hunt civilians, the houses burning, the truth would awaken the Tree of Suffering, and then Roland would detonate. The bomb crashes down the ground and traps the Tree of Suffering - that's the current plot.
In terms of reading experience, the difference between these two branches is huge, but because the last one is a focus, there is no difference in terms of plot. Book friends who want to read the whole and book friends who want to see cool have a strong conflict in various senses.,Ten strings also just compress the main article section.,The unabridged full version of the plot will be coded out and put into the book friend group when I'm free.。 So that there is no delay on both sides, the only one who is tired is me (tea)
