Chapter 245: Sideways Branches
Sou!
More than fifteen snake vines the thickness of an arm, like whips, aimed at Ye Qi's body and whipped down; Ye Qi, who was shirtless, danced quickly with his two arms, resisting the attack of the snake vine one by one, and the two arms brought up one afterimage after another, as if they had become dozens of arms dancing together.
Smack, smack, smack!
The snake vine, which had been resisted, raised its strongest place high, let out a scream of pain, and then burst straight open, and the blue-green juice splattered in all directions, and then the branches that were fifteen yards long also fell to the ground, and then quickly withered.
"Ye, if you continue to do this, even if my snake vine seeds are ripened by the power of nature, they won't be able to keep up with your speed!" Not far away, Ava, who saw this scene, couldn't help but declare loudly - in fact, Ava had already stated such words no less than ten times throughout the afternoon; Naturally, he also planted snake vines no less than ten times.
"I'm sorry, Ava; You know, I'm groping my way forward now, although I've made a lot of progress compared to before, but it's still a long way to go to the point where I want to send and receive as I like my heart and control freely! Ye Qi looked at the bursting snake vine and couldn't help but smile bitterly - the reason why he didn't use the Enma Knife was only because he was bare hands was because he wanted these snake vines to last a little longer; However, it was obvious that in the face of the sharpness of the Enma Knife and the cooperation of the [Barrier] and [Sharp Spear], this snake vine with infinite strength and thick skin and flesh would be difficult to resist.
At the beginning, the inspiration of [Barrier] and [Sharp Spear] only existed in his mind, and when he had not yet reached the point of cooperation, these snake vines were still a good opponent for Ye Qi. But when that glimmer of inspiration became a reality. These snake vines are not enough to see—although Ye Qi still can't fully grasp the direction of [Sharp Spear]'s attack. But compared to the original unpredictability, Ye Qi at this moment has been able to control it in a general attack direction.
And this is already a very big progress for Ye Qi - thanks to the repeated perception between life and death, although it has not yet reached the most profound point, it is much stronger than the previous point of ignorance.
"These thorns are nice!"
Ye Qi put on his shirt, coat, and trench coat from a rock, and then glanced at the gray-black thorns that surrounded the place; Not only do these thorns have sharp thorns, but they also grow very densely, whether it is blocking the view. It's a good choice to block some people.
"I think we can plant some in our backyard!"
Ye Qi gave advice to his friend.
"These are thorns of intimidation, it doesn't work as well as it seems, and if it's the backyard of a bar, I think it's better to plant devil vines! Not only can it defend against the slashing of sharp blades, but it also has a strong defense against special forces such as flames, and the amount of power that it can whip and wrap itself is only slightly higher than that of the snake vine! Ava pondered Yetch's suggestion, and finally shook his head - Ava would not be stingy in protecting his homeland, even a pacifist druid would show no mercy to invaders; What's more, Ava is not yet a pure druid.
First of all. He's a witcher, then. It's a druid.
"You're an expert in plants, I have no opinion!"
Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders, and then continued to ask, "Can your plants help in this war?" ”
"Hmm......"
Facing his friend's question, Ava did not answer it immediately, but frowned and thought about it; Ye Qi didn't urge his friends, he sat on the stone and waited quietly; After about five minutes, Ava raised his head, looked at his friend, and said very cautiously: "The local defense should be possible, but it can't affect the whole; After all, I don't have a lot of seeds now, especially those powerful seeds, which take a long time to cultivate! ”
"What if it goes with our defenses? You know, we don't have a wizard to help him carve a magic array; The lack of the magic array's seal carving is just such a defense, and I can't guarantee how long it will last in the next war! ”
As he spoke, Ye Qi pointed to the defense tower that had begun to see its scale after a day—Ye Qi had not studied much about war, not only was he not a qualified commander, but he could not even serve as the commander of a stormtrooping force; He had long been accustomed to the cooperation of one person or a few people, and he was incompatible with such a large-scale war.
Whether it is one person or 10,000 people, if he chooses, Ye Qi is naturally one person, one knife and one ride.
However, there are some things that Ye Qi still knows; For example, the fortifications - this is not to say that Ye Qi has any research, but after owning a wizard tower and seeing the defense of the central castle of the witcher's headquarters, the fortifications here are naturally a bit unsightly compared to such a building.
"There are a few plants that are very suitable, but it takes time to grow them!"
Ava followed Ye Qi's finger and saw the first scale of the tower, and immediately replied.
"If you have, it's better than nothing! I think Ted would have been happy to hear it! ”
Ye Qi replied with a smile - for this war, he is always looking for ways to increase his own chips, after all, any increase in chips represents the ultimate victory and the avoidance of innocent deaths; It is important to know that the battle on the border between the bay area and the sea forest area that came before the road of the road, although both sides were tentative and did not really start, but even then a hundred to two hundred people died every day, including the people of the Nosd family, and the local defenders of the highest government.
And in this Riptide Strait, all the dark creatures do not carry out tentative attacks every day like the creatures in the sea forest area, but because of this 'inaction', Ye Qi feels a deeper threat - if you don't move, you can move like thunder, and the words of your hometown make Ye Qi understand that this dark creature in the Riptide Strait must be ready for this; It doesn't seem to have any intention of taking action now, but once it does. Definitely an all-army attack.
Such a seemingly reckless to crazy action. Isn't it in keeping with the temperament of those dark creatures? Or. More simply, is it very in line with the unpredictable character of the inanimate king?
"Any news from your 'sentinels'?"
The speculation about the actions of the inanimate king made Ye Qi have to pay attention to the other party's camp.
"It's normal, it's no different from yesterday!"
Ava, who had only spoken to the seabirds about an hour earlier, replied immediately.
"Well, we ......"
Ye Qi nodded, and just as he wanted to say something, his eyes looked at the sky in the distance. There are two powerful auras approaching there - the Legendary Powerhouse of the Transcendent Realm!
"Greet Ted and Darlan, you guys retreat for now!"
After saying such words, Ye Qi jumped on Groning and went straight to meet him.
……
About a kilometer or so away from the cliff where the defense tower was built, two fast-flying figures slammed and floated straight in the air—
"Pretty good!"
One of the men in the red robe nodded with a smile on his face, looking satisfied.
"At the same age, we are not as strong as him!"
Next to the red-robed man was a man in a blue robe, with similar faces. There is no doubt that they are related by blood; It's just that compared to the smile on the face of the red-robed man. The man in the blue robe had a cold face; The two of them stood there as if they were fire and ice, very extreme and very conspicuous.
When Ye Qi rode Groning and appeared not far from the other party, he saw these two existences at a glance, felt the breath and fluctuations on the two of them, and asked very politely before he could figure out the other party's intentions: "May I ask the two?" ”
"I'm Tennie. Hart, this is my little brother Terr. Hart. ”
The man in the red robe introduced with a smile, and during the introduction, the man in the blue robe nodded at Ye Qi; Faced with such a friendly situation, Ye Qi also immediately responded: "Demon hunter, Ye Qi! ”
"Not far from here, it's our battlefield with the creatures of darkness. Your Excellency Hart? ”
After introducing himself, Ye Qi naturally set his eyes on the two brothers; Obviously, that brother is not a good person to communicate with, and if you want to ask, you naturally need to find the smiling brother of the two.
"Oh, is it a creature of darkness? They're back! ”
Turney. Hart was surprised to glance at the negative energy of the south, and his younger brother Ter. Hart also had a look of surprise on his face.
"Aren't you two here for the dark creatures?"
Facing the surprised expressions of the two, Ye Qi couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not! How could we ......"
Turney. Hart shook his head affirmatively, and then prepared to explain to Ye Qi; However, I just said the beginning, and Ter. Hart interrupted his brother, and in a cold, stiff, but unusually concise tone, he said, "We're here for you!" ”
"Looking for me?!"
Hearing such an answer, Ye Qi was naturally surprised, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes, obviously, he didn't understand what was going on.
"Let me explain!"
As an older brother, Turney. Hart glanced at his brother, without any blame or complaint in his eyes, but he took over the conversation very directly - with what he knew about his brother, there would definitely be no good results if he continued to talk about it; Even if they don't have malicious intent, they will be used as coercion under their brother's short, cold tone.
"Do you know Lord Höttell?"
Turney. Hart asked.
"Hotlier?!"
When Ye Qi heard this name, he was slightly stunned, but he still nodded-it is an undeniable fact that he fought with the phantom left by the other party in the Radiance Canyon, and then obtained a skill like "Light Blade"; Moreover, judging from the situation of the two opposites, the other party did not have malicious intent when he said this name, but also with a trace of respect.
"Proof!"
Tel. Hart asked immediately after Ye Qi nodded, his voice still cold; Turney on the side. Hart immediately showed an apologetic smile at Ye Qi - with Nofa, the ice cube man and the cold-faced man, as a reference and foreshadowing, for Terr. Hart, Ye Qi didn't have much bad feelings; Because. He knew that this was not for him alone. It's the other party itself; Therefore. Ye Qi took off his gloves, revealing his fingers with a slight white-gold glow.
Laugh at!
A two-foot-long sword light extended from Ye Qi's fingers, and that sharp, bright feeling would never be forgotten once after seeing it.
"Lightblade!"
Turney. Hart & Tel. Hart exclaimed at the same time, and then, immediately surrounded him with joy, and shouted—
"Let's go, come back to the bridge with me!"
"Your Excellency. Been waiting! ”
"Your presence is needed there!"
"Otherwise, there will be chaos!"
"Please join us on the bridge on the other side!"
"That's where you should be!"
……
"Wait!"
Ye Qi, who was almost fainted by the Hart brothers, stopped loudly and loudly: "What are you talking about, can you express it alone?" ”
Turney as an older brother. Hart immediately walked out with Ye Qi's words, and he said, "Lord Hötlier sensed that the inheritance he left in the Glorious Canyon was obtained, so the two of us came here to find you and take you back to Lord Hötlêl, the bridge on the other side, as a way to repay Lord Höttelier's kindness back then!" ”
"The bridge on the other side?!"
Hearing this term again, Ye Qibu frowned again - the bridge on the other side. A 'town' located in the depths of the Desert of Death, a 'town' where only the Solar class and the beings on it are allowed to enter, where the minimum level to enter must be a true Solar level. It is not the so-called 'newcomer', therefore, it is the stage of the strong men of Lorente, and it is also the place that countless truly strong people yearn for.
If it were possible, Ye Qi would naturally go there, but definitely not now; Faced with the invasion of dark creatures, as a witcher, he could not leave the front line; Therefore, the next moment, Ye Qi replied: "Here, we have a war to fight, and it is impossible for me to leave my friends and partners to go to the bridge on the other side at this time!" ”
"When this war is over, I'll go there!"
After a pause, Ye Qi added again.
"The war is endless, and no one knows when it will start and when it will end, but Lord Hortrier can't wait that long!" Turney. Hart restrained his smile, looked at Ye Qi with a hint of heaviness, and said slowly: "Because of an accident, Lord Hottliere's life is less than six months left at most, can this war be completed in six months?" ”
"Turney. You have just said that wars are endless, and no one knows when they will begin and when they will end; How can I possibly guarantee that it will be over in six months? Speaking of the end of the war, Ye Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly - if he could, he would like to end this war now and drive those dark creatures back to the Endless Sea and the depths of the Sea Forest again, but this is undoubtedly unrealistic, and it needs to be done with strength.
"Come back to the bridge with us!"
Tel. Hart reiterated coldly again.
"This is my position, do you think I can be a deserter, Your Excellency?"
Even if he understands what kind of existence the other party is, such a cold character is not targeted, but it does not mean that Ye Qi has unlimited tolerance; Even when Ted and the cold-faced man first came into contact, they had stumbling and didn't become friends until they went through several adventures.
"Or do you think you can settle the war here?"
There was a hint of unceremony in Ye Qi's tone.
"We'd love to help if we could!"
Turney. After Hart glanced at his brother helplessly, he immediately began to actively make up for the relationship between the two sides, easing the tense atmosphere between the two sides; Moreover, with a confident face, not only the elder brother, but also the younger brother - it is obvious that the two of them are very confident in their own strength.
"The commander of the other party is the inanimate king!"
"Alcatel?!"
The Hart brothers shouted at the same time, and the calmness and confidence on their faces disappeared in an instant, as if they had been stepped on by someone's tail, which made them have a trace of amazement on their faces; In the end, after the two brothers glanced at each other, they immediately divided into left and right, wrapping Ye Qi in the middle.
"I'm sorry, Alcatel isn't something we can deal with, but Lord Hortlier has to bring you back; So ......"
Turney. Hart looked at Ye Qi in front of him helplessly.
"So, you're going to use it?"
Ye Qi continued the other party's words.
"I'm so sorry, but this is also a helpless choice for us; However, you will not resent us in the future! "Turney. Hart said with great certainty: "After all, with the approval of Lord Hötlier, you can get the inheritance of the Lord......
"Approved by Hottellier? Didn't I tell you that I had a teacher? ”
The other party's attitude at the moment made Ye Qi not have any good impression - facing the fear of the strong is what everyone should have, but if he bullies the weak and fears the hard, it will make him feel ashamed; Especially when the other party put him in that 'soft' position, even if this is a fact, it makes Ye Qi feel unhappy.
"Who is your teacher?"
The Hart brothers asked together.
"John!"
Ye Qi replied.
"John? John? John...... Juggernaut! ”
The Hart brothers frowned after glancing at each other, and then the elder brother suddenly let out an exclamation.
