Chapter 014: The Sea of Phantom Trees Nine
I heard a 'click', and the bodies of the two tree spirits in front of me suddenly burst open, and the bark branches were scattered all over the ground, and two ghosts in the shape of transparent human beings floated out of them. One of the men was dressed in silver armor and a red-feathered battle helmet, like a god of war descending from the sky; The other woman was dressed in an extremely gorgeous and beautiful velvet robe, with dazzling and colorful pearls around her neck, and the only incongruity was that her hands were gone.
"Sure enough, it's the queen and the knight, how do you know?" Seeing this scene, the curling girl was puzzled.
"Hehe, this is a man's intuition, you don't understand."
"Huh? Gut feeling? So why is it that only you guessed and I didn't? Xiao Ming wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule, but as soon as this came out, he regretted it, and according to his cousin's urine nature, he would definitely say: "Because you are a woman." But in fact, Zhen Shifeng said more sharply: "Can't you still accept the fact that you have sex reassignment surgery?" ”
"........." Xiao Ming really wanted to hit the wall.
"Enough! Don't you humans understand what you're facing? is still in the mood to ridicule and joke here, it seems that he didn't take us seriously! The knight's anger was just about to flare up, but was hurriedly stopped by the queen on the side, only to see her eyes narrowed slightly, and her cold gaze was opposite to Zhen Shifeng, so she said: "Human, how do you know our true identity?" ”
"It's simple, because of your hands." Zhen Shifeng said lightly.
"Hands? But I've already simulated my hand in the form of a tree spirit. ”
"Uh...... That's not what I meant. As he spoke, Zhen Shifeng immediately turned his head to the two teammates, "Do you remember the story about the king, queen and knight in the opening CG?" It is mentioned that after only a few months, however, the king grew tired of the queen and cut off his hands and expelled her from the palace and went into exile. ”
"Is there anything unusual about this statement?" Xiao Ming couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"On the surface, this is to say that the king likes the new and the old and is tyrannical, but there is one thing that is very suspicious, and that is why he wants to cut off the queen's hands."
"Didn't you say that the king is tyrannical and unreasonable, and it's normal to do this kind of thing."
"But combined with what the Tree Spirit said before, 'The bell has been worn on the queen's wrist,' it becomes a little abnormal." Zhen Shifeng pointed to the queen in front of him and said in a low voice: "The matter of the knight turning into a bell guard because of love is widely spread among the people, and it is impossible for the king to turn a deaf ear. But the reality is that it will be months before the king will be exiled, and think about it, how can a dull tyrant have sand in his eyes? And it's a couple of months. This shows that the king really loved the queen, but for some irreversible reason he decided to cut off the queen's hands and banish her. ”
"As for the irreversible reason, I'm afraid it refers to the demon-suppressing bell worn on the queen's hand!"
Perhaps this poignant love story was false in the first place, but the truth is the opposite. The king is not a mediocre person, but a generation of bright kings, he loves the queen deeply and cannot extricate himself, even if the other party is corrupted by the evil spirit of the magic bell, he is not willing to give up this love. In the end, the king sadly cut off the queen's hands in order to stabilize the country's society, so that she could no longer wear the magic bell, and then exiled herself from right and wrong, hoping that the queen would change her mind. But the queen committed suicide and turned into an evil spirit, and the king came to mourn in person with guilt, but was killed by the evil spirit. ”
"All of the above is just speculation, but considering the nature of the Demon Suppression Bell and the unreasonable behavior of the two of you, it is very likely that these speculations are true."
Speaking of this, Zhen Shifeng has already explained all the details and clues in a reasoning way. However, the knight couldn't help but raise his head and laugh for a long time, the voice echoed around him and was very deafening, and its deterrent effect was self-evident, "Hahaha, human, your ability to make up stories is really good, but......... What if all this were true? ”
With a whoosh, a golden light flashed, and the knight stretched out his hand to bluff, and the magic bell that had been flattened returned to his hand and returned to its original appearance.
"Isn't it so easy to destroy?" Zhen Shifeng muttered silently, and a system prompt suddenly sounded in his ears:
【Main quest has been refreshed】
[Mission 3: Destroy the evil spirits of the queen and knights]
"Cousin, did you already guess the content of this task three?" Xiao Ming asked as he took out his sword.
"I guessed a little, but the trigger conditions for this task three are much more difficult than I thought." At this time, Zhen Shifeng had no intention of joking anymore, because the queen and knight in front of him had turned into a giant dryad about five meters tall with the catalysis of the magic bell, one of which had a pair of giant claws as thick as the mouth of a bowl and sharp teeth, while the other was covered with long whips that danced wildly and made people palpitate.
"Human, I'll be the first to cut you first!" The giant claw dryad hissed, and then took a heavy step and rushed towards Zhen Shifeng. The giant claws swept by, the strong wind was blowing, Zhen Shifeng suddenly turned to one side and jumped back a few steps, just dodging the opponent's attack.
"It's not over yet!" said that it was too late, but before Zhen Shifeng could stand firm, the long-whip tree demon was killed in time. Seeing this scene, Xiao Ming rushed forward, and the sword in his hand waved a cross, leaving two deep slash marks on the hind legs of the dryad.
"Whew~~~" The long-whip dryad's terrible scream shook everyone into a daze, and the former took the opportunity to wave two thorns and jerk straight down. Xiao Ming squinted his eyes and suddenly felt bad, the Taidao in his hand first blocked the first volley, but the second thorn whip directly knocked him out, and his health instantly dropped from 500 to 190. Zhen Shifeng's side was also not having a good time, although the arm shovel was harder than ordinary steel, but every time he resisted a violent claw attack, he would suffer some aftershocks, and it didn't take long for his health to drop to about 250.
"Alas, I have to let Miss Ben go out in person, you two are really useless!" The curly girl in the distance sighed slightly, and then took out a thing that looked like a pesticide spraying device from the space backpack.
[Item Name: Flame Rapid Shooter (Cost*10)]
【Grade:Excellent】
[Function: It can shoot a scorching flame and burn the target to the ground, up to ten times.] 】
[Remarks: Murder and arson, essential items for home travel]
This prop was accidentally drawn by the curling girl during the last script settlement, and its excellent level and remarkable effect make the flame rapid-shooter particularly conspicuous, but the only drawback is that the number of times it can be used is limited, otherwise it is definitely a terrifying killing weapon.
"Of course you still attack the wood bumps with fire, look at me!" As she spoke, the curly girl aimed the rapid-fire scope's scope at the two dryads in the distance. With a whoosh, two flames gushed out and roared, and the dryads' bodies were ignited on the spot, and a large number of bark and branches fell to the ground with the slow ashes, and the two dryads were swallowed up by the flames in the blink of an eye.
"I said little beauty, why do you have such a good thing to use it now, both of us are about to be abused out of Xiang." Zhen Shifeng complained and retreated to the side of the curly, just now because he couldn't dodge, the shovel in his hand almost became a 'roast pig's trotters'.
"Of course, the big names in the finale are the last to play, and you don't ......... How many times have I said stop calling me a little beauty! ”
At this time, Xiao Ming, whose face was full of ash, also jumped over, but his eyes were still firmly fixed on the two huge flames, and his face was not very good-looking, "Cousin, sister, you two had better prepare, although the dryad is dead, I am afraid that the evil spirit has not been eliminated." ”
Zhen Shifeng glanced at the task bar, task three was still unfinished, "Well, the system prompt has not sounded, it seems that this is indeed the case." ”
Sure enough, in just a moment, the evil spirits of the queen and knight flew out of the flames, and the ashes of the trees beside them instantly turned into nothing, and the fire was extinguished.
"Human, you really have two hits, but it's a pity that the result is the same many times you come again, and then ...... Suffer death! The knight's palm flipped over, and the golden magic bell made a pleasant sound again, and endless sawdust condensed out of thin air, and quickly gathered around him and the queen, and the giant dryad was about to be reborn.
"Could it be that those two monsters can be resurrected indefinitely?" The curly girl frowned and said worriedly, after all, her flame rapid-shooter only had eight 'bullets' left, and it was not an infinite number of uses. However, Xiao Ming grinned, and after a while, there was a strangely shaped red tassel dart in his hand.
[Item Name: Tomahawk Dart (Cost*2)]
【Grade:Excellent】
[Function: Confirm a target, the dart will automatically lock and hit.] 】
[Note: This is a statement from a miniature Tomahawk guide* projectile: "I was originally a member of the large family of thermal weapons, and everyone affectionately called me Little Axe."] However, one day, out of curiosity, I stole the red belly pocket of Wang Erya next door, and accidentally fell into the ice hole. By the time I was found, I was stiff and unconscious, and my body temperature had dropped to freezing. Since then, I have withdrawn from the family of thermal weapons and become a glorious cold weapon warrior! 】
"It doesn't matter how many times an enemy can be resurrected and respawned, just destroy their original form." As he spoke, Xiao Ming spread his legs and posed, leaned back, and the 'little axe' in his hand flew out, "Go, fire tongs meteor!" ”
