Chapter 240: Tree Garden Layer 5
Kirito walked up to Besco first and pulled him up: "Hit hard?"
Besco pinched his arm, which was a little sprained when he hit the wall, and shook his head, "No, it was just Miss Salwen's spell nova just now, and it didn't cause any direct damage by itself." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"You acted bravely. Kirito praised first, "But I can't judge the situation - I look like I'm falling behind?"
Being asked by Kirito like this, Besco could only scratch his head in embarrassment.
He couldn't have imagined that Kirito would do something like throwing the weapon in his hand as a hidden weapon.
After searching on Salwen's corpse, he found a ring that was almost identical to the Heckley family ring he had obtained earlier, with the only difference being that the name on it had been changed to Salwen.
"Before confronting Belik. Kirito tossed the quest item to Besco, "I can still easily deal with his minions." β
Besco took the ring, kept it, and walked over to Salveen's body, mourning silently, for Salven Herclairy's body, like Sir Brafdor, had accelerated its tree-turning process very quickly after its actual death, and had turned into a piece of dead wood.
Ms. KellΓΆvan is looking forward to the safe return of her children. Besco whispered, "But all we can bring back is bad news." β
Kirito also sighed lightly: "I can't do anything about this. β
"You don't need to blame yourself, an adventurer is someone who walks on the edge of life and death. Besco said to Kirito, "I had this realization when I walked this path. β
Kirito nodded: "You have to pay attention to yourself, it may be difficult for me to guarantee your safety during the battle." But if you have this awareness, that's good. β
There is a staircase at the back door of the temple, and the traces of entry and exit are very obvious, and it is certain that the real location of Belic is ahead.
The damp and dilapidated staircase extends deeper into the ground, and a light source must be held to see the way. This narrow underground passage runs directly below the Dragon Gallery.
"Why didn't Belic show up? Besco said as he walked, "According to Sir Brafdor, they were confronted by Belik, who appeared on his own initiative, and was captured before they could penetrate deeper into the ruins. β
Kirito's right foot paused in mid-air and stepped forward an additional twenty centimeters, avoiding the trap buried under the surface of the soil.
"I'm also curious. Kirito dodged a few sets of traps before sneering, "I wish he was doing something important right now, hum." β
Besco nodded a little understandingly, Belic might be doing something that he couldn't get out of, so he could only put Salvin and Ser Brafdor, who had just switched control, on the periphery of the lair to guard.
If that's the case, Belic probably won't be able to go all out against Kirito who has burst into his lair.
There were no guards in the passage other than a few rough traps written by goblins, and after two turns, the scene at the end of the passage was revealed to Kirito and Besco.
Behind the open door was a collapsed room, the wall on the south side of which had completely collapsed, revealing a huge underground cavern. The fungus glows faintly on the walls and ceiling, adding to the sickly appearance of the pale plants around it.
The collapsed walls have been completely buried by underground plants, and the occasional outcropping of rubble resembles islands in a sea of moss.
Four of Belik's goblin servants were sitting in the center of the room, sorting a pile of plant seeds, looking at their sluggish and absent-minded appearance, clearly not satisfied with the work.
When Kirito and Besco spotted the goblins, one of the goblins facing the door also spotted the intruder, and it happily threw down its work, picked up a rusty machete on the weapon rack next to it, and rushed towards Kirito with a grunt.
The other three goblins noticed their companion's movements, turned their heads, and spotted the intruder as well, and they, like the first goblin minions, rushed over with their favorite weapons from the weapons racks on the side.
Two of the goblins even got into a scuffle because they shared a penchant for a spear.
These creatures with no concept of discipline were quickly brought down by Kirito and Besco, who had been working completely underground for Belik for a long time to sort seeds and take care of plant specimens, weaker than the ordinary goblins in the upper goblin tribes, and completely unthreatening.
There are all kinds of plants in the room, and if you look closely at Bescoe, you can see that there are many plants that are different from normal natural plants.
For example, oak saplings with black leaves and red vines that exude high temperatures.
Belic had cultivated herbarium specimens in this room for experiments, and these alien plants were some of the results of Belik's experiments.
The sound of rubble rolling.
A pale leafless branch protrudes through a gap in the south wall, and a withered young tree larger than the others creeps in through the gap. Unlike the humanoids seen before, this withered young tree moves more like a multi-legged insect, and quickly crawls in with a stroke of branches.
Kirito and Besco reined in their breath the moment its branches reached into the herbarium, and hid, and the lantern was immediately extinguished.
I don't know if the withered saplings have eyesight, but as a plant, the alien must have excellent light sensitivity.
The withered young tree didn't seem to notice the intruder, it was attracted by the blood of the goblins, like a shark asking about the smell of blood, the withered young tree quickly climbed to the corpses of the four goblins, the slender hollow straw was pulled from the branches of the wilted young tree, inserted into the still warm goblin corpse, the bright red blood was absorbed by the straw, and a closer look could even see that the straws were dyed pale red.
Goblins working under the Vault Dweller are also not safe, and withered young trees sometimes attack nearby goblins out of hunger, but Belic doesn't care how many goblins are born in a litter of creatures.
The withered saplings drew blood quickly, and the four corpses visibly dried up in less than two minutes.
The large, insect-shaped, withered young tree was satisfied with today's meal, and the four corpses had enough blood to quench its hunger instincts for days.
The withered young tree leaned against the wall, its branches stretched out, and seemed to be relaxed.
Opportunity.
Kirito's eyes narrowed, and the interpreter's sword posture fine-tuned, and the tip of the sword was aimed at the withered young tree. In Besco's eyes, Kirito was near him one second, but rushed to the withered young tree the next.
Kirito stabbed the alien torso of the plant with a sword, and pressed it against the wall entirely, the force so great that the withered young tree lost its ability to fight back in an instant, and the soft and hard branches were pressed against the wall by the invisible air pressure.
Drawing the sword, chopping, a few dazzling sword lights flashed, and the withered young tree was dismantled into small pieces by Kirito. (To be continued.) )
