Chapter 33: The Bronze Sacred Tree
I didn't expect to scare Lilian enough first, she hurriedly said, "What are you doing!"
I didn't have time to explain, because there were already three ghouls in front of me, and I threw a punch at the middle one, but the ghoul opened his bloody mouth and was ready to bite down on my hand.
Even though the world is invincible and has strong defenses, I still don't want to risk myself, and it's disgusting.
As soon as I withdrew my fist, I regretted it, Lilian was standing in front of me with a lot of inconvenience, I couldn't kick with my legs at all, I couldn't use my hands and feet, and the situation was very passive.
Just as I was about to use my head to top it, Lillian summoned three fireballs and knocked the ghoul in front of me to the ground, which was a good way to dodge in the air.
The back was suddenly cold, I gasped in pain, and turned around to find that there was a ghoul who carried out a sneak attack, this time I had experience, twisted my waist and kicked it to the wall, this ghoul weighed at least 200 pounds, although this time it was not fatal, but it was enough for the other party to break the bones and bones.
There were too many enemies to fight quickly, so I forwent lethality for duration.
The hardest thing to do is not knowing if there are ghouls hiding in the shadows.
This time the world is invincible for 5 minutes, not to kill the enemy, but to get out of danger and escape from here.
The rest of the ghouls, seeing that their companions had been knocked away, temporarily halted their attack, let out a low roar of awe, and circled around us, exchanging glances with each other.
I said to Lillian, "You pull it with the fireball, and I'll take care of breaking them one by one." ”
Lillian said, "Good!"
I said, "Stand behind me, don't go too far from me, so that I can protect you." ”
A smile tugged at the corner of Lilian's mouth and said, "I don't know who protects whom, old rascal, be careful!"
I said, "Okay!"
Before the words could be spoken, the ghouls attacked in unison, with enemies in front of them, left and right, and even two of them climbed up to the ceiling and jumped down to attack.
Tricky angles!
Raising my legs and kicking the enemy in front of me, I have a bad premonition in my heart, this ghoul is too skillful in cooperation, it seems that it is definitely not the first time to besiege humans, why do you want to come here to send me and Lilian to death when I can't beat me?
Do you want to use crowd tactics?
In the three or five seconds I was distracted, the ghoul above me had already swooped down, and I had to move to the side, make a room, wait for it to hit the ground, and then kick it out.
When the ghoul landed on the ground, he paid no attention to me, turned around and ran like outside, and I thought to myself, it was holding my package, and it was filled with things and water.
I was about to chase it, but a black shadow flashed in front of me, and other ghouls blocked my face.
This ghoul, monkey thief, monkey thief!
And bang bang
I was already murderous, and I greeted me with a loud shout, and I raised my leg and kicked it, but the ghoul dodged it sideways, and then grabbed my leg and bit me hard.
Although it hurt wildly, but fortunately it was not injured, and it was difficult to stand on one foot, so I wanted to withdraw my leg first, but the ghoul found that the bite was useless, and actually hugged my leg and dragged me up from the ground alive.
Immediately after that, the sky was spinning, the blood was surging, and this ghoul actually dragged my leg to play with the windmill!
After a few laps in the air, I was thrown into the distance, and after struggling to get up, the scene in front of me almost made my heart rise to my throat.
Originally, Lillian and I were back-to-back to prevent the ghouls from sneaking up from behind, but when I was thrown away, Lillian was left alone, and of course the ghouls wouldn't let go of this opportunity, a dozen of them were involved in the front, and two were already caught up from the back.
"Be careful!"
I shouted as I ran, and Lillian looked back and was surprised to see that I wasn't behind me, and at the same time saw the approaching ghoul, who was so disgraced that she fell to the ground.
Damn it!
I just wish I couldn't have two more pairs of feet.
The ghoul had already pounced, and I was still twenty or thirty meters away from Lilian, and I saw that this little girl was about to die, just at this moment.
Lilian's pocket suddenly bloomed with golden light, and I could barely open my eyes when I was irradiated, and the ghouls seemed to have seen a natural predator, and they all looked frightened and cowered, let alone attack, and did not dare to approach Lilian at all.
Lillian was also stunned by this scene, and staggered to her feet, fumbling out of her pocket to pull something out of her pocket, it was the half of the bronze branch!
Unexpectedly, when the ghouls saw this strange thing, they turned and ran, and in the blink of an eye, they were all gone, leaving Lillian and me on the battlefield.
I walked over, picked up the bronze branch with mixed feelings, looked at it carefully, and wondered, "What the hell is this......
Lilian fell into deep thought, recalling, "I didn't expect it to be true......"
I asked, "What is really?"
What Lillian said next surprised me.
In the Arad continent, there are legends of adventurers and monsters, which have lasted for hundreds of years, and human beings will unite to fight, and monsters are constantly slaughtered, but in recent years, some scholars have found that the number of monsters has increased.
That's weird, isn't it?
The huge number of monsters cannot be produced and developed by the organization, so some scholars have deduced that there must be a channel where there is, connecting the other worlds, and constantly sending monsters to Arad, which led to today's situation, but because there is no evidence, it cannot be recognized by the mainstream.
This ghoul, which was extinct decades ago, is now here again, and it is up to the question.
I asked, "And what does this bronze branch represent? ”
Lilian muttered, "Maybe the passage itself or something like a key. ”
"It doesn't matter, you're fine. I touched Lilian's head and walked to the door: "I'm tired today, I have something to do and come back another day, let's rest." ”
"Don't touch my head, old rascal!" Lillian shook her head and picked up her bag.
I then remembered the bag I had been snatched from, but unfortunately it was already in tatters, and the food inside was scattered on the ground and covered with dust.
This food from another world is precious!
These ruined ghouls!
It seemed that I couldn't eat it, so I took Lilian's bag and slung it over my shoulder and walked with her to the door.
An embarrassing scene appeared.
The door was shut.
There are no gaps in the tightness.
......
I looked at Lillian with a strange look, "Do you still have a habit of closing the door casually?"
"Old rascal, you fuck me off!" Lilian pointed to the door and said angrily: "I'm not Ultraman when I'm so big, how can I close it?!"
Indeed, she was right, this sky city towers into the sky, and the door is really not small, let alone twenty or thirty meters, we stand in front of the door like a cockroach in front of the mobile phone, not to mention Lilian, even if it is twenty me, I can't push this door.
Lilian said, "Old rascal, you say, could it be that someone wants to trap the two of us here?"
I patted her on the head and said, "You're just foolish, I can't say that it was originally closed,"
Lillian stammered, "That'...... How are we ......? What about those who came in?"
I can't refute the simplest logical reasoning, and I can't help but think about it in my head, but now it's more important to stabilize my emotions, and I say, "Well, it's okay, I'm here." ”
The statute of limitations for the world's invincibility has passed, I am just an ordinary person, how much more than a thousand catties of the giant gate in front of me?
I had a hard time.
There are currently two paths.
One, wait in the hall for 24 hours, be on high alert anytime and anywhere to beware of another sneak attack by ghouls, and wait until the next time the world is invincible to open, and see if I can push the door open.
Second, continue to look for the traces of the Bronze Divine Tree to see if you can see if you can make another village, and you can also find the traces of the Four Holy Stones by the way to deal with Herder.
If one and two do not conflict, then you can try to find the traces of the ancient bronze tree, and when the time is up, you can come back and open the gate.
I told Lillian what I thought, and she had no objection, and the next question was how to find the entrance.
Actually, it's very simple, this level of open space has an unobstructed view, and the ghoul can't be hiding somewhere, so it must have left from which passage, and after Lillian's and I searched, we finally found a hole in the corner.
The hole can be two meters in diameter, and it burrows diagonally into the ground, and there is no end in sight to the darkness.
Lillian asked, "Do you want to go in?"
"Don't go in yet. I said and brought my parcel with food, which was fortunately all dry food, and I picked out all the clean ones, and ate them with Lillian, and drank some water, and when I was full, I said, "Now it's all right." ”
Lilian said, "I didn't expect you to be so careful. ”
I touched my nose and said, "You still found out my merits, you can be infatuated with me, but don't fall in love with me, because I'm just a legend." ”
Lilian stuck out her tongue and said, "Neurotic!"
To avoid blackening my eyes, I found a dragonman's thigh bone, wrapped it around two circles of fabric, and smeared it with some fat, and asked Lillian to light it as a torch.
This little girl originally planned to use her magic talisman as a lamplight, and the paper that spewed flames was stopped by me, first, I don't know what kind of situation will be encountered, I can save it, and second, who knows what the situation is under the tunnel, if the flame burns out the oxygen, it is really too embarrassing to die.
The main thing was to watch out for a sudden attack by ghouls, so I opened the way with a torch in one hand and a bronze branch in the other, and after Lilian broke off, we walked into the hole.
It was a dark and long tunnel, and after going deeper, I walked for a while, and became a little numb, and I secretly wondered when it would come to an end, and the light was all by torches, and the temperature had also cooled, and I put my clothes on Lillian, and I asked, "Why don't you go back?"
Lilian touched around and said, "Old rascal, have you noticed that the passage is slowly narrowing?"
After she reminded me of this, not to mention, when I first came in, I had no problem lying on the ground and rolling, but now it is difficult to open my arms, and the space above my head is constantly decreasing, and I need to keep my head down.
This feeling made me very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the color of the torch has not changed, indicating that there is an outlet underneath, and it is not a dead end, after all, the oxygen concentration has not decreased.
I was just about to speak, when I suddenly heard a loud noise behind me, and I couldn't hear the doorway, causing a burst of echoes in the silent tunnel.
Lilian's face turned pale and she stammered, "After...... What's going on in the end?"
I froze and swallowed and foamed.
Lilian turned around and was about to run back, but I hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Something must be happening in the back, how about you running back and not stopping, even if the hole collapses, you will waste your strength, why don't you follow me forward quickly, hurry up and get out of this damn tunnel!"
Lillian shuddered, "But...... But?"
"It's nothing!" I pulled her and continued walking: "Listen to me, I'll take care of something!"
Actually, I don't have a lot of music in my heart.
After walking for a long time, I finally saw the exit, and I was ecstatic, afraid of the bright light, and I got used to it with Lilian for a while, and rushed out.
What catches the eye is a huge ancient tree, which exudes a faint yellow luster peculiar to the faint bronze ware.
......
Bronze Sacred Tree!
