In the rift, the convoy was not moving fast. Due to the narrow road, the entire convoy could only be stretched out in a long row, which also caused a lot of trouble for the mercenary guards. No one knows why there are so many rifts in the Hengduan Mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, and they don't know how many lives have been swallowed up in the countless years that have been intertwined like spider webs.

"Be careful!" Liu Li warned as he spoke, but the movements in his hands did not stop at all, and "Yanhui" swept by, and was slammed on the rock wall by the rock beast that was whipped away with a blow, and then gradually turned gray with the naked eye, and finally shattered into a piece of stone. This was the first time in a day that I didn't know how many rock beasts had attacked.

Although the individual strength of the rock beasts is not strong, the rock-like body gives them a defensive power that far exceeds that of the same level of magical beasts. If you want to kill them, you have to aim at the core that doesn't know where it exists in your body. Either find the right place to penetrate with one hit, or only damage the core with a powerful blunt blow that shocks. On top of that, as long as the cores are not harmed, their actions will not be affected in the slightest. The mercenaries hate the rock beast very much, it is difficult to deal with on the one hand, and the main thing is that the rock beast cannot be killed without destroying the rock core, and the rock beast is not like other monsters, the skin and flesh can be used as trophies, the most valuable thing on them is the rock core, and the only thing that can be exchanged for gold coins is the rock core, but the damaged rock core is also worthless. This enters an endless loop, where the income of the mercenary who takes the escort mission is the commission given by the employer on the one hand, and the booty obtained during the escort on the other hand. On the rock beast, not only is there no gain, but the wear and tear caused by the body made of rock to the weapon is still a lot of expense to repair.

"How are you?" Heng asked with concern as he walked over to Liu Li, who was resting on the side of the carriage.

"It's not a good situation, I've only mastered the 'electric shock' spell, but it doesn't work on these stone monsters. Liu Li was also helpless, but at the same time, he was also glad that if he was really just a pure first-order mage, not only would he not play any role here, but he would also become a burden to the entire team.

In just two days, the attacks of the rock beasts almost never stopped. If it weren't for Liu Li and Heng taking turns to release their perceptions, the situation faced by the team would be even more difficult, and the thought that at the current speed, at least three more days of marching in the rift, Liu Li's head was big for a while. Due to the existence of elemental crystals in the meditation space, Liu Li is equivalent to being in a meditative state all the time, but the mental exhaustion caused by continuous battles is not so easy to alleviate.

Heng's state is much better than Liu Li's, after all, he has the strength of the second order, and against the upper rock beast, he has a crushing advantage in the rank. However, as a war position, most of the abilities mastered by the bard at the beginning are also biased towards the support team, although their own safety is worry-free, but in terms of the ability to solve the battle situation, they cannot play a decisive role. However, thanks to Heng's assistance, at least no one in the team has died for the time being.

"How's it going, can you hold it?" asked Powell by the campfire at night, wiping his greatsword in both hands. For the daytime battle, Liu Li's performance made Powell refresh his cognition again. Although he knew that Liu Li's martial arts were mastered very well, in the real moment of life and death, young people were always prone to make some mistakes, and such a mistake was likely to take their lives once in a while. On the other hand, Liu Li only showed some discomfort at the beginning, and as the battle continued, it was as if he had regained his feelings, not only to ensure his own safety, but also to save a kid under him.

"It's okay, it shouldn't be a problem tomorrow to take a break. "In the open space between the rifts, several carts of the entire convoy surrounded a circle, and everyone rested in this circle. "Fortunately, the rock beast won't come out at night, and if the battle just now drags on a little longer, it may not be able to hold on. Adjusting his posture to make himself lie down more comfortably, Liu Li looked at the starry sky overhead, thinking about the battle before sunset, and summarizing the shortcomings.

"It's really thanks to Heng this time, otherwise the team's damage would never be so much. Powell's exclamation reminded Liu Li of the previous battle, especially the strong feeling at the end of the battle......

"Fitz, your left!" the archer, crouched on the roof of the carriage, reminded his companion, but his movements were unaffected, and he steadily bent his bow and arrows, and the arrows fired directly through the rock core. The rock beast had been smashed out by Powell with a giant sword, and the rock core was exposed because of the heavy blow. And the shooter also accurately grasped the moment when the opponent's weakness was exposed, and killed with one blow. Fitz was alerted by his companion, and the heavy shield in his hand turned at an angle, steadily blocking the heavy blow from the left.

Even if Liu Li's "omniscience" and Heng's "heart of nature" can detect the enemy's movements, they don't have time to make too many hints, the scene is too chaotic, and the rock beasts around them seem to be endless.

"Battle Song: Passionate!" Heng plucked the instrument in his hand, Liu Li never thought that the harp-like instrument could play such a shocking tune. The mercenaries in the battlefield seemed to be united by a strong sense of rhythm, and felt a strange power burst out from their bodies. With the blessing of magic, the fatigue caused by the long battle disappeared, and the weapon wielded in his hand was once again full of power.

"Battle Song: Smart!" The tune turned, and the heavy and shocking rhythm became faster, and under the influence of the war song, Liu Li felt that his movements of wielding the spear became faster and more precise. "Yanhui" stabbed and danced with a little starlight, and each blow became more accurate in locking on the weak points of the rock beasts, even if they couldn't directly hit the rock core due to the angle, they could accurately hit the gaps in the rocks that make up their bodies, and then with a light pick, they could lift up large pieces of rock, thus exposing their weaknesses directly. The archers on the roof of the carriage also seize every fleeting moment to nail their arrows to their cores with precision.

"Battle Song: New Life!" The sound of the piano gradually slowed down and turned peaceful, this is the only second-order war song that Heng currently has mastered, different from the previous enhanced class, with the performance of the war song, in the induction of Liu Li's "omniscient" state, the flow of green elements is so obvious. There were many casualties from the battle, but in this melodious music, the pain seemed to be relieved. This is definitely not an illusion, some mercenaries who were abrased by the flying stones, saw those small wounds on their bodies, as the music played, gradually healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the war intent in their hearts also exploded.

When the "new life" played, Liu Li's feeling was stronger than others, and at the moment of the change of tune, there was also a trace of realization in his mind, and the fundamental reason for the closeness between him and Heng was "life".

Legend has it that pure-blood elves are born differently from other races, they all grow from trees. The Ancient Tree of Life, located in the Forest of Elves, is affectionately called the Mother Tree by the Elves. The Ancient Tree of Life always grows in the environment where the green element is most intense, and it can be said that it is itself an aggregate of green elements. Life magic, on the other hand, is the most obvious manifestation of the green element.

In the process of Liu Li's crossing, the ability given to him by the owner of the voice that appeared in the underworld made him an existence that could be compared to the ancient tree of life, at least in terms of vitality, which was the reason for the closeness between him and Heng, a special pure-blood elf. Heng is not an ordinary pure-blood elf, her other identity is personally chosen by the mother tree, the next priest of life.

"There's no escaping what you should be facing. Liu Li said secretly in his heart, and finally stood up and walked to the carriage where Heng was with apprehension. Liu Li knew that when the "Freshman" battle song sounded, it was not only herself who had realized it, but also Heng, and what she perceived was probably the majestic vitality contained in her body, which was no less than the ancient tree of life.

"Ha, you're here. Heng was not in a very good spirit sitting in the carriage either, and the fierce battle before had almost exhausted the last of her magic. Of course, it seems that the reason for the bad spirit is not only this, "I'm really afraid that you won't come again." Like Liu Li, Heng's heart is not very calm.

"Uh...... There are some things that have not been thought through. In fact, their uneasiness is not difficult to understand, and they finally know the reason for the feeling of closeness between each other, just because of the resonance of the green element in terms of vitality, and the two don't know how to face each other for a while. They both felt that the way they used to get along was natural and enjoyed that feeling, but now they want to keep it up but are worried about each other's thoughts. In addition, I know some secrets that the other party should not tell others, and I will of course have some concerns about continuing to maintain the previous state. "Well, actually, it shouldn't have changed, Great Priest of Life. ”

"Well, yes, there's no need for anything to change, Mother...... Oh, no, father?" blinked mischievously, Heng's words almost made Liu Li spurt blood and fall to the ground.

"I don't have a daughter as big as you!" Heaven and earth conscience, although Heng's age is indeed very young among elves, and his age of more than two hundred years is only less than one-fifth of his life, but for human beings, it is a little too terrifying. Not to mention being more than 200 years old, even Liu Li, a girl in her twenties, can't recognize it.

"Poof......" Looking at Liu Li's reaction, Heng couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, the estrangement in the hearts of the two was broken by a few jokes, and they got along again.

"Have a good rest, and hopefully tomorrow will be a little easier. ”

Early the next morning, the convoy continued on its way.

"Liu Li, I don't know if it's my delusion, I always feel that the gaze they look at is very problematic. ”

"Well, don't worry, they're just fed. Liu Li didn't know how to explain it, he stayed in Heng's carriage all night yesterday, although nothing really happened, but these mercenaries don't think nonsense, don't you see that Powell has been squeezing his eyes at himself.
