Due to its sheer size, the monster is extremely massive, so even if the weapon's force is deflected, it only shows a subtle frustration.

But for Leo, whose swordsmanship has reached the "Heavenly Man", this flaw is the biggest flaw.

The Tong Kong changed from pure green, the center was transparent, the realm of heaven and man was activated, and countless thin lines that made up the world unfolded in front of him, and at the same time, on the monster's body, an incomparably clear "flaw point" was outlined.

"Slash!"

With a soft shout, the long sword in Leo's hand stabbed out, piercing the "flawed point" in an instant, and it was manifested in the outside world, that is, the light-chasing long sword pierced a part of the monster's right hand, and that part was a key node in the energy flow of his whole body.

The body of the monster that was pierced through the "flawed point" stiffened, and even at its shoulder, it opened its mouth and prepared to pounce on the black mud python that bit Leo, the scarlet in its eyes darkened, and its movements stopped abruptly.

Strong stiff state!

For a demigod-level existence, even if it is attacked to the "flaw point", it will only fall into a temporary state of strong stiffness.

The length of this time, depending on the strength of the opponent, ranges from 0.01 seconds to 0.1 seconds.

And whether it's 0.01 seconds or 0.1 seconds, completely letting go of the defense in front of a celestial-level swordsman, the result is the same.

"Upanishads: Wind Food!"

The fine thread of sword intent emerged, and before it could expand, it was condensed into a bunch, pulling the monster's body in the direction of Leo, and at the same time, the light flame intertwined with pure blue and transparent emerged from the light chasing long sword, and the half-moon-shaped sword qi came out through the sword.

"Thorn-"

In the dense forest, the half-moon-shaped sword qi flashed from the monster's neck, and then flew out ten meters, slowly disappearing into the air.

The big sword in the monster's hand, which had recovered from its stiff state, smashed into the ground with kinetic energy, making a loud sound of "winter", and after doing this, the monster's body fell silent.

On the neck of it and the black mud python on its shoulder, there is a thin line of pure blue and transparent intertwined.

Thin lines wrapped around the neck, and with the dimming of the light, the monster's head slipped down along with the python's head, and smashed to the ground with a "bang".

"Hoo ......"

Leo stood with his sword in his hand and exhaled deeply.

This monster was the one he had walked out of the dense forest when he was walking on the gravel road and was attacked by three [Steel-Toothed Black Dogs].

Of course, this monster was not like this when it was first encountered.

It wore tattered green and silver armor and rode a war horse. But when Leo was spotted from afar, the war horse under his crotch turned directly into a black mud python, wrapped around his body, and then extended a black flesh chain, which was linked to the end of the great sword for long-distance smashing.

Unlike the [Steel Tooth Black Dog], which only has a legendary limit to the weak demigod primary rank, this monster's strength is extremely strong, and when the distortion state erupts, it has reached the peak of the true demigod primary level, and its strength has faintly touched the middle level of the demigod.

It can be said that its strength is not much weaker than the elite boss of [Outer Sacred Tree], [Wandering Sacred Tree Knight].

And such a monster is just a little monster in the inner circle of the sacred tree......

Leo's face was solemn.

The situation [inside the sacred tree] was even more dangerous than he expected. ….

Along the way, he has been attacked by [Steel Tooth Black Dog] many times, but fortunately, the strength of these monsters is not strong, and in the case of preparation, with his keen perception ability, there is basically no possibility of being successfully attacked.

Leo stared at the data frame projected by the Mark of Fire on the back of his right hand.

[Firewood]: 3000.

A [Steel-Toothed Black Dog] was worth 200 firewood, and he killed a total of 15 of them.

As for the monster you just killed......

——

[Obtain the Soul of the King (1+) ......of [Pure-Blood Knight of the Sacred Tree]]

——

The quality of "1+" represents the strength of the [Pure-Blood Knight of the Holy Tree], which has reached the peak of the first level of demigods.

This quality of soul is enough to increase the brightness of Leo's soul fire by 0.1, so he naturally will not destroy the heavens and convert them into firewood.

As the soul mass was crushed, the escaping soul air was sucked into the body.

——

[Absorb the Soul of the King of [Pure-Blood Knight of the Sacred Tree] (1+)......]

[Soul Fire Brightness: 19.1→19.2]

[Current Status: Healthy, Aberrant (Malignant 48.6% → 49.6%)]

[Sword Intent Strength: 687.6→691.2] (Will Strength: 69.12)

——

Feeling his body that had become a little stronger, Leo's eyes showed a look of joy.

Although it is dangerous, the harvest is also great.

As the brightness of the soul fire increased to 19.2, Leo could clearly feel that the effect of the soul of the "King's Soul (1)" level on him was also rapidly weakening.

But the quality is not enough, and the quantity can be made up.

What's more, although the effect of "King's Soul (1)" has been reduced, it is not like "Weak King's Soul", which requires dozens of copies to increase by 0.1.

According to his estimates, 19.2 to 19.3, two copies of "King's Soul (1)" should be enough, as for 19.3 to 19.4...... It should be about six.

The number of [Pure-Blood Knights of the Sacred Tree] is definitely quite a lot in the [Inner Circle of the Sacred Tree] area.

With a beautiful yearning to hunt down the pure-blood knight of the sacred tree and increase the brightness of the soul fire, Leo was about to move on, when suddenly, he found that the corpse of the pure-blood knight of the sacred tree had turned into ashes and dissipated, leaving behind a diamond-shaped, but irregular silver stone.

This is?

Stepping forward, he picked up the stone, and the hint of the mark of fire also came as expected.

——

[Starmeteorite (1)]: Kill the monsters in the [Inner Circle of the Sacred Tree] and beyond, and you can use them to strengthen your weapon at the melting pot on the second floor of the Burning Shrine.

——

"Is this [Star Meteorite]......

Looking at the strange stone in his hand that reflected the light, Leo had a look of surprise in his eyes.

He could sense that inside the [Star Meteorite], there was a strange energy of high purity that he had never seen before, and this energy was the key to its use to strengthen weapons.

Looking at the dissipation of the corpse in front of him, Leo showed pity in his eyes.

The [Pure-Blood Knight of the Sacred Tree] was unable to drop deformed attribute souls and could not forge special weapons, which made him very regretful.

Perhaps, the strength of the [Pure-Blood Knight of the Holy Tree] is still not strong enough......

Leo guessed in his heart.

Put away [Starmeteorite (1)], this thing can be used to strengthen the longbow when he returns to the Burning Sacrifice House.

Truth be told, the unstrengthened longbow pull is indeed too low to fully exert his archery skills at all. ….

Continuing deeper into the forest along the gravel path, it didn't take long for Leo to wonder why he hadn't been attacked by monsters for so long, when a faint chime suddenly rang in his ears.

"Winter—"

The melodious sound of the bell, even from a long distance, is still clear.

Bell?

Leo's eyes moved slightly, and wherever the bell passed, he could feel that the air had become much fresher.

The concentration of distortion factors in the environment is reduced......

This feeling......

Leo couldn't help but think of the top of the Ninth Church of Marym in the dream world in the past, the bell-ringer who turned his back on everything and only kept the obsession of ringing the bell - the missionary Hurwin.

The bell he rang at the top of the church brought a brief solace to the souls of the deformed peasants in their endless suffering.

Could it be that there is a bell-ringer similar to the missionary Herwin in [the inner perimeter of the sacred tree]?

Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and Leo headed in the direction from which the bell came.

If it is said, [inside the sacred tree

If there are bell-ringers, will there be a church? And if there is a church, is there any record of some information in the church?

Leo did not think that the center of the church, such as the First Church of the Holy City, would be in the [Inner Circle of the Holy Tree] area.

According to the information known so far, the area of the [inner perimeter of the sacred tree] is a radius of 70 kilometers from the sacred tree, but it is not clear how much it is inward.

What is certain, however, is that [Inner Circumference of the Sacred Tree] is by no means the last area of the Sacred Tree of Flvedia.

When Leo first entered the Burning Shrine, he met a lost man at the entrance who Vicky called "Lord Laiyin".

Even if the strength cannot be perceived through the strength of the magic fluctuations due to the difference in the world system, Leo can be sure that the strength of the person named "Lai Yin" is at least a demigod.

With the strength of the demigod-level, it is not a big problem to defeat the [Wandering Sacred Tree Knight] to be promoted to the second-order fire contractor, but according to Vicky, "Laiyin" has become so depressed and lost because of the major blow.

From this, there is a high probability that there is such a monster in the [Inner Circle of the Sacred Tree], which makes the demigod strength "Lai Yin" feel desperate, and then become the current posture.

Although the strength of the [Sacred Tree Pure-Blood Knight] is not weak, it is impossible for a person who can pass the test of the [Wandering Sacred Tree Knight] to be promoted to a second-order fire contractor who cannot deal with the [Sacred Tree Pure-Blood Knight], that is, the monster that makes "Lai Yin" desperate has another monster, and in the [Sacred Tree Inner Circle], there are terrifying monsters that are much more powerful than [Sacred Tree Pure-Blood Knight].

The Burning Rite advocates teamwork, and the existence of "warbands" also illustrates this, but there is one exception, and that is when challenging the rank promotion monsters, they must challenge independently.

It's both a challenge and a protection.

Just like the first-order promotion monster [Wandering Sacred Tree Knight], the Fire Pact who cannot defeat it will not be able to go far even if he enters the [Inner Circle of the Sacred Tree], and will die tragically in the bloody mouth of the [Steel Tooth Black Dog].

Such a Fire Pact Practitioner entering the [Inner Circle of the Sacred Tree] is of no value other than a tragic death. ….

……

A thick gray mist floated beside him, Leo looked calm, his right hand grasped the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and his steps moved forward steadily and slowly.

The afterglow of the bell faded in my ears, and the surroundings became quiet again, and along the gravel path through the woods, after about half an hour, the outline of a building loomed in the gray fog in the distance.

Leo's eyes moved, and his expression was a little cautious, but his steps did not stop in the slightest.

As the distance approached, the effects of the gray fog gradually subsided, and at a distance of eighty meters, the full picture of the building finally appeared in his eyes.

It is an old church with vine-covered walls and a thick sense of history.

The church is not grand, and its height is less than 30 meters, which is very small compared to the 100-meter giant trees around it.

The dappled light shines through the gaps in the canopy of the giant tree, shining on the dusty windows of the church, refracting the diffuse light.

The most striking thing is the huge bronze bell hanging at the top of the church spire.

Leo stopped fifty meters in front of the old church.

His gaze went from top to bottom, and finally fell on the tall figure standing at the entrance of the old church.

The body surface of the figure is a gray-blue stone skin, and its half-kneeling body has a blood-red spiral spear stuck in its chest.

The spear pierced through its chest, stabbed out of its chest, and finally the tip of the spear touched the ground.

Leo's gaze fell on the blood-red spiral spear on the stone statue's chest.

Similar spears, he had seen before.

The Ninth Church of Marym, the wyvern that crushed the small half of the church, was pierced by an incomparably large spear.

At the moment, although the spiral spear that penetrated the stone statue was far less than the one that penetrated the flying dragon, the blood-red color on the spear was much deeper, and the sharpness of the tip of the spear was so exciting that people were like a man's back.

With the stone statue as the center, countless fluid-like black gas spread in all directions, covering an area with a radius of fifty meters, including small ancient churches.

These black gases seem to be alive, flowing gently, and occasionally falling leaves fly into them, which are immediately captured by the black gas, and then in less than 0.1 seconds, the leaves turn gray and black, and finally turn into fine black dots, which merge into the black gas and become a part of it.

This seemingly ordinary black gas has an extremely terrifying corrosive nature!

It was the first time since coming to the Sacred Tree of Flvedea that Leo had seen an existence that could release energy to such an extent.

The environment of the Sacred Tree Flvedea is completely different from that of the First Continent.

If it is in the Moster Continent, the energy is not idle for thousands of meters, and the domain of the Full Moon Legend has a radius of three thousand meters, and Leo's magic power will not be much weaker than the demigod beginner under the blessing of the Light Chaser [Extreme Mana Amplification], but in the Holy Tree Flvedeya, his domain will be fully promoted, and it will only expand by ten meters, and the magic power will be consumed sharply.

10 meters against 50 meters......

It can be seen that the gap between the two sides in terms of energy.

Without hurrying forward, Leo stepped back a thousand meters and lit a small bonfire in the natural hollow of a giant tree.

The strength of the stone statue in front of the church is unknown, leaving this bonfire, if necessary, you can retreat here, only need to hold on for three seconds, and then you can return to the sacrificial place, which is a reserved retreat.

With that done, Leo returned to the old church, his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword.

The pure cyan magic light flame pulsed violently on the surface of his body, indicating that his magic power had reached its limit at this moment.

As Leo's right foot stepped into the area where the black qi was, an invisible collision came out at the contact between the black qi and the pure cyan magic light flame.

In the next moment, the black qi that permeated a radius of fifty meters began to flow backwards, merging into the body of the stone statue, like liquid, flowing down the wound on the stone statue's chest that was pierced by the blood-red spiral spear.

"Dongdong...... Dongdong ......"

The silent heart began to revive and beat, and the stone skin on the stone statue cracked and fell, revealing the dark silver armor underneath.

Three gooes
