Chapter 21: The Apostate's Trap

And all the ferocious attacks that have been pretending to be ghosts are these blood-colored rattans and trees. The branches of these strange red trees can be stretched and whipped like animals www.biquge.info and the whole garden is a giant plant monster.

The vines were still twisted into thick countless strands, and the princess dragged Yuri to use the hidden space to repeatedly disappear to dodge the dense attacks, Yuri turned and slashed, shouting "Flame Dance, Wild Flame Waves", and a wave of fire burned the rose garden below into a sea of fire. The heat caused the plants to hiss violently, and the blood-red trees showed the faces of human suffering, and then they were completely engulfed in flames.

The earth shook violently, the brilliant flower suddenly increased in height, and a huge plant broke through the ground, and the huge bulb was like a huge crockpot filled with pain, highlighting the faces of countless human beings, and the scalp could not help but tingle after just a glance.

Yuri unleashed his flaming sword aura, only to be fanned open by the hard iron blades that the bulb wielded. The bulb's roots burst through the ground at the same time, like countless spears stabbing straight at the princess and Yuri. Yuri shot a blade cannon at the dome, holding the princess and immediately retracting the steel cable, and the two of them took off to avoid the attack on the ground without any dead ends, looking at the wriggling roots, they felt sick to their stomachs and palpitations at the same time.

"This is the Corpse Demon Flower. Originally grown in extremely barren places, it uses its aroma to lure animals closer, creates hallucinations in their brains, and then entangles its rhizomes to absorb nutrients from animal carcasses. But the Corpse Demon Flower could not be the size of an adult man's fist at most, and this one grew like a large water tank, which was simply unprecedented. ”

Yuri looked at his fist and sighed, "So the black witch is indeed a super strong gardener." ”

"Find a way to throw me to the flower. ”

Yuri nodded, swinging his legs so hard that his body began to shake like a pendulum. The shaking grew louder and louder, and finally Yuri yelled "Go" and threw the princess high into the air. The princess drew a parabola in the sky, and landed perfectly on the ground, landing right next to the corpse flower.

"Good accuracy!" the princess gave a thumbs up.

"I'm a knight with a throwing mastery!" Yuri replied excitedly.

I saw that the sticky calyx leaves of the corpse demon flower quickly closed towards the princess, and in the blink of an eye, the princess was completely engulfed. Yuri was secretly anxious, but saw a burst of starlight, and the princess used the hidden space to pierce through the calyx leaves, and then threw the rope at Yuri with her backhand.

Yuri hangs the rope on the mechanical winch that slays the crime, and the princess spends back to Yuri. I heard a muffled sound, and the outermost calyx leaves of the closed corpse demon flower drooped softly. Then there was a series of sounds, and finally there was a loud explosion, and the bulb of the corpse flower was blown through, and the blood and countless bones gushed into a fountain that rushed to the ceiling, and the terrible plant finally died completely in a hole, and those random tentacles that wanted to extinguish the flames of the other trees finally remained motionless, quickly withering and rotting.

Yuri silently raised his slash and set the garden on fire with black flames.

"Understood, princess. In fact, it is these plants that attack us, and there is no such thing as a loyal soul. ”

The princess bit her lip lightly, her eyes cold: "But if it is an illusion created by the corpse demon flower with its fragrance, Yuri, why can you meet General Klose, whom you have never seen?"

"Well. Yuri suddenly said wittily, "When I saw Klose, he wasn't necessarily the same person as you saw him, maybe the corpse demon flower just made me think that the man I saw was Klose." ”

Yuri waved his finger and said, "Klose is not supposed to be a one-eyed scarred man, wearing a tattered black military uniform, with a small ponytail and a ...... hair on the left."

"There's obviously a lot more white hair on the left than on the right, right?" replied the princess in a low voice.

Yuri chuckled in his heart, "What......?

"Yes, it's a hallucination, but the man you see is undoubtedly General Klose. The secret hidden in this garden is not just the corpse flower. ”

The fire raged, and suddenly a weak voice from the bulb of the corpse demon flower shouted, "It's all destroyed...... Stop...... We can't let this fire consume everything...... Otherwise, my eternal life will be finished!"

A scrawny old man actually fell out of the pool of blood remaining from the bulb of the corpse demon flower, and the countless peristaltic hoses on his back fell off at the same time, and he crawled on the ground weakly, crawling forward weakly, and collapsed after climbing less than a few meters, his breathing gradually weakened.

"Lord Warlock Cato?" the princess hurried to his side, and just wanted to help him up, but her mind turned, and her eyes suddenly became solemn, and she was about to hold the old man's hand, and immediately added a red dagger.

"Tell me!" the princess snapped, "General Klose, are their souls really bound here?"

Cato was so distraught that he couldn't hear the princess's questioning, but kept saying, "You have ruined the vessel that holds my eternal life!"

The princess was furious and thrashed the returning hourglass on Cato: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it!

The Hourglass of Regurgitation travels back in time, bringing to life the illusions of Cato and the garden.

At first, Cato was an upright court sorcerer, full of great hair and respect, and loyal to Prince Khal.

Cato struggles against the Lord Regent and the Witch in Black, pointing out that she is not a miracle, but a demonic sorcery that bewitches the world.

Cato bravely fights the Witch in Black, but another of his enemies comes first.

This enemy is the god of death, Volo.

No one could stop death from coming, Cato was old enough, and aging and sickness were tormenting his body worse by the day. He feared that he would soon die, and that there would be no one to help Prince Kair.

And when the illness worsened and Cato could no longer leave his hospital bed, his concern was even more pure.

It doesn't matter what Prince Khail is or anything anymore, but the imminent death is the most worthy of fear.

At this time, the black-clothed witch came to him regardless of his previous suspicions.

"That's right, I'm using demonic sorcery, and everything you say is true. But what's the use of that? The people have not given up their dependence and faith in me, and you have not been able to influence the atmosphere of the country at all. ”

The black-clothed witch leaned close to Cato's ear: "And your orthodox spells don't seem to be able to extend your life for a second." But I'm a demon, I can do it. ”

Cato's eyes widened, and a drinking sound came from his throat.

The survival instinct causes Cato to turn against him completely, but the Witch in Black tells him that what she needs him to do is to continue to stand up against herself.

Then, as a loyal and righteous man, he pretended to be "poisoned" by the black-clothed witch.

The Witch in Black led the "poisoned" Cato to the garden and fed him the antidote. Cato woke up and saw the strange plants of the opposite color, and the huge corpse demon flower, which trembled so much that even the bones were loose.

"Take care of this garden for me, as long as this corpse demon flower does not fall, your lifespan can continue until you are old. ”

Cato was grateful: "I'm willing to guard this garden for you." But what exactly do I do?"

"It's simple, just be swallowed by the corpse demon flower. ”

Cato was extremely nervous, but his aging body would not allow him to escape, and then he was lifted into the air by the black witch with a black force field, and then thrown into the huge bulb of the corpse demon flower, sinking to the bottom of a pool of blood.

Then he found out that he had indeed survived, and that he was in good condition.

Cato watched as the black-clothed witch roamed the garden, bringing in one dead person after another, burying their bodies under the reversed trees, and the trees flourished, producing blood-like red leaves, and after watering the red liquid, they could bear heart-like fruits.

He had heard from the black-clothed witch that these trees could only thrive if they were nourished by the dead.

Cato's remaining conscience led him to ask, "It must be...... Anyone who has ever opposed you?"

The black-clothed witch smiled evilly and stroked a pure black rose: "Although any dead person can be used as fertilizer, they have their own special meaning. My garden is protected by these loyal servants who used to work against me. ”

The souls of the faithful are bound to strange trees.

And the fragrance of the corpse demon flower can make the person who breaks into the garden see the soul with the naked eye.

If the intruder is an enemy of the Black Maiden, he will hesitate when he learns that destroying the strange tree will destroy the souls of these good people.

"Kindness is the most fatal weakness of the good-natured. I can't bear to let my former friends turn into smoke, so I can't be ruthless enough to burn my lovely garden to the ground. ”

The black-clothed witch plucked the black rose and took a deep breath, "And you, Cato, you will induce the intruder to burn the top flower of the corpse demon flower." That flower is a trap I have laid down to allow the irrigation device to irrigate the filthy blood on the plants, and the plants will animate their roots and vines to strangle my enemies. And when he died, he thought he was dying at the hands of the ghosts of his former companions, which is very interesting to think about. ”

Cato shuddered, "But how could an intruder listen to me?"

"Because you are also one of the loyal and righteous. The black-clothed witch smiled.

Cato then understood why when he surrendered to the Black Witch, the Black Witch asked him to continue to pretend to be opposed.

In this way, the dead and the living intruders can be deceived together.
