Chapter 266: Whew~

The warband is stationed, in the center of the dojo.

Looking at the saintess Shireen in front of him in a well-behaved suspended kneeling posture, feeling her ignorant and innocent gaze looking at him, Leo rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

After an initial pause, he gradually understood what had happened.

Under the light of the bonfire, the soul of the Holy Maiden Shireen stored in the [Holy Scroll: Revelation] was indeed restored to the point of awakening, however, the injuries she suffered before she fell asleep were too severe, they were the wounds of the burning origin, and at one point she was only a few seconds away from death.

Therefore, even if her soul origin no longer overflows and recovers to awakening, she will inevitably leave sequelae.

Or rather, the Holy Maiden Shireen is fine, but not entirely well.

Most of her memories seem to have vanished, and now she only has the IQ and memory of a 3-year-old child.

And it seems that it was because he was the first person she saw when she first opened her eyes, because the saint Shireen mistook him for a "father" and was steadfast in it, no matter how Leo explained it.

…… It's quite complicated to say, walking in two lives, he has never even been married, he doesn't have a girlfriend, and suddenly someone calls him "father......

Sighing, Leo looked at the girl sitting upright in front of him.

Seeing Leo turn his gaze, the holy Maiden Shireen hurriedly sat up straight, like a student in class with her hands folded on the table and her body upright, eager for the teacher's praise.

Look at each other at intervals, one second, two seconds...... The girl's eyes were clearer than the first dew, and she was about to cry.

Leo was a little distraught, but he still raised his hand, imitating the action of adults coaxing children in his memory, and gently stroked the girl's head.

The snow-white hair was soft and fluffy, and the Holy Maiden Shireen's eyes narrowed slightly, and the temperature from her palm made her intoxicated.

It wasn't until the temperature disappeared that the holy Maiden Shireen reluctantly opened her eyes, her little head shook slightly, and she was in a very happy mood.

Looking at this girl, Leo sighed again in his heart.

Today's saint Shireen, let alone asking for information, it is estimated that it is difficult to even take care of herself......

That's it, take it with you, and it will be regarded as a "mascot" to increase luck.

He comforted himself.

After coming out for a while, the delicate white face of the Holy Maiden Shilin showed a sleepy look, and her body swayed a little: "Father, sleepy, I want to sleep......

As she spoke, she closed her eyes in a daze, her body tilted, turning into a pure white streamer and merging into the [Holy Scroll Apocalypse].

Leo picked up the [Holy Scroll: Revelation] on the ground, looked at the book with a dim white light, and finally faded, and fell into deep thought.

Although the result was a little different from what was expected, the Holy Maiden Shireen still survived smoothly, as for the problem of memory loss and mental incompleteness...... I wonder if it will be able to recover with the healing of the soul injury later?

Source change app】

Leo stood up and stretched his body, and the sound of "crackling" bones grinding sounded.

After practicing in retreat for so long, his bones are a little rusty.

It's time for a new round of exploration of the inner perimeter of the sacred tree.

His body turned into a spark and disappeared into the warband's station, and Leo came to the [Central Tinder] in the Bathing Fire Zone, stretched out his hand, and chose to teleport.

In the next moment, his body scattered with Mars.

And at the moment when Leo's body disappeared, a figure appeared from the entrance of the Muhuo area, looking at the back of the disappeared Leo, he raised his hand and wanted to keep it, but it was too late, he could only watch Leo's body disappear completely.

"Damn, it's a step too late."

His voice was full of chagrin.

"The situation has changed greatly in recent times, the new second order, I hope you can come back alive......"

……

What happened in the fire area of the burning shrine, Leo naturally did not know.

At this moment, he emerged from a campfire.

All around him was dim firelight, cramped spaces, and wooden wall textures.

This is inside a tree cavity near the [inner perimeter of the sacred tree].

In the previous week's swordsmanship practice, he had taken the time to come to [the outer part of the sacred tree] to kill a few Sacred Tree Knights to obtain firewood, which could be exchanged for some cultivation props, such as the firewood needed for the exchange of the dummies worth 500 firewood and whose tenacity was comparable to that of the first level of the demigods.

Walking out of the tree hole, Leo looked in the direction of the central sacred tree.

The leaves of the giant tree that shaded the sky were a magnificent golden color, in stark contrast to the gray and white of the lower part of the middle part, as if a pair of polluted harvesters crawled out of the ground, trying to sink the sacred tree into the abyss.

Leo withdrew his gaze, and instead of going deep into the [inner perimeter of the sacred tree], he searched around [the periphery of the sacred tree].

His goal in entering the Sacred Tree Florvidea this time, in addition to obtaining more information, the most important thing is to find a monster that is strong enough, fight against it, and demonstrate swordsmanship in the battle to seek a breakthrough.

And if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

In the exploration of the sacred tree of Flvideyan, under the premise of extremely limited perception, vision is a crucial thing.

The Eagle's Eye gave Leo a 100-meter field of view on the [Outer Periphery of the Sacred Tree], but when he reached the [Inner Perimeter of the Sacred Tree], where the gray fog was thicker, there were only 80 meters left.

20 meters may not seem like much, but sometimes, the difference between 20 meters can mean the difference between life and death.

Therefore, for the field of vision, Leo is naturally extremely concerned.

As for the level of [Yoel's Archery] with regard to the effect of Eagle Eye, it has always been one of Leo's concerns.

- [Yoel's Archery (Master 844/1000)]

The time spent coming to the Sacred Tree Flvidea is not too short, and the proficiency level of [Yoel's Archery] is also on the verge of breaking through.

And [Skill: Continuous Shooting] has increased your proficiency level to "Mastery (460/500)".

The last trip to the [Inner Circle of the Sacred Tree] made a deep impression on Leo.

A steel-toothed black dog with extremely strong stealth ability and a threat comparable to the first level of a demigod; The pure-blood knight of the Holy Tree who faintly touched the middle level of the demigod after the demigod initial peak and the distortion form erupted; The Knight of Enlightenment at the peak of the demigod and the Great Lord of the Abyss Blood Demon above the limit of the demigod.

Compared to the [Inner Perimeter of the Sacred Tree], the [Outer Periphery of the Sacred Tree] is simply a "baby field", and the residents of the Sacred Tree and the Knights of the Sacred Tree are extremely "docile".

Therefore, Leo is going to spend some time raising the level of [Yoel's Archery] in order to gain a longer range of vision.

By the way, you can also improve [Skill: Continuous Shooting].

It is very troublesome to increase the proficiency of [Yoel's Archery], killing a Sacred Tree Knight through combat skills only increases the proficiency by 1, and if you want to upgrade, you have to kill almost 156 Sacred Tree Knights.

However, the proficiency level of [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting] increases relatively quickly, and killing a Sacred Tree Knight can increase by almost 4.5, but unfortunately, this progress will not be available after being promoted to Master level.

The master-level [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting] is at the same level as [Yoel Archery], and you can't enjoy the blessing, and your cultivation will return to your normal speed.

The strength of the Sacred Tree Knight is average, but it is a little troublesome to find.

However, if [Power of the Sacred Source Lv.2] can offset the maximum burning damage of the Sacred Tree Knight's mana, Leo can find the Sacred Tree Knight and ask him to call for more Sacred Tree Knights to gather and greatly increase his speed.

And before that, of course, I found a Sacred Tree Knight to try.

About ten minutes later, Leo spotted his prey in the gray fog.

It was a lone knight of the Sacred Tree with a spear, patrolling the lonely streets on a warhorse.

Leo didn't hide his form, and strode towards the knight of the speared sacred tree.

The sound of "stampeding" footsteps quickly attracted the attention of the knight of the speared sacred tree.

With the neighing of the war horse, the knights of the spear sacred tree united as one, and the speed saw that they broke through the sound barrier and rushed towards Leo.

"Qiang—"

The spear holy tree knight who was slapped to the abdomen by the sword body was hit by the sword body as if he was hit hard, and his whole body flew directly away from the horse's back, and after flying upside down for more than ten meters, he fell to the ground, and for a while, the dust was flying, and the eyes of the war horse that had lost its owner were red, and the upper half of the height was raised high, and the two horse's hooves wanted to step towards Leo, but before it could complete this action, with the flickering of the sword light, the head of the war horse was separated from the body, and black blood flowers rose to the sky.

The magic outside his body shook, and the black blood that was coming to him was shaken away, and Leo held the light-chasing sword in his right hand, while feeling the changes in his body.

At that moment, he deliberately collided with the Spear Sacred Tree Knight before knocking him down.

The maximum burning damage of the [Power of the Holy Origin]'s mana value does not need to cause damage to the enemy, even if it is just the collision of weapons, it will have an effect, which is also the reason why this ability is terrifying.

If it required to deal damage to have an effect, Leo would not have been afraid of this ability at all.

Under Leo's concentrated perception, he clearly felt that the moment he collided with the Spear Sacred Tree Knight's weapon, a familiar strange ability invaded his body, wanting to burn his magic power, but before it could produce an effect, there was a source of energy gushing out of his body that was the same as it but had a subtle difference, colliding with this strange energy, devouring each other, and soon, this strange energy was completely neutralized.

"Sure enough...... Just as I expected! ”

Leo was happy in his eyes, and the simple collision of weapons, the [Power of the Holy Source], which was raised to lv.2, was able to ignore the upper limit of the Sacred Tree Knight's mana value burning damage.

"Move on to the next trial."

Leo looked at the knight of the speared sacred tree who had risen from the ground not far away, his armor shattered in the shape of a spider's web.

After the brightness of the soul fire was increased to 20.0, even under normal conditions, Leo's physique was terrifying to the extreme, just for that sword back strike, he also deliberately collected his strength, for fear of knocking the Holy Tree Knight to death at once, and the current scene proves that his strength is controlled just right.

"Come on."

A smile appeared on the corner of Leo's mouth, and he whispered to the Spear Sacred Tree Knight.

Unlike when he first came to the Sacred Tree Fleet, he was a little more cautious against the Sacred Tree Knights, and now in his eyes, the legendary strength of the Sacred Tree Knights is really weak.

In the face of Leo's provocation, the Knights of the Sacred Tree of Spear let out a roar of rage, and then burst in.

The Sacred Tree Knight, who was completely eroded by the aberrations and lost his mind, naturally did not have the anger after being provoked, it just instinctively launched an attack on all the living flesh creatures in front of it.

The sword came first, directing the spear to the side, and in the process, Leo stretched out his left hand, which was not holding the sword, and slashed hard at the tip of the spear.

"Winter!"

Leo raised his foot and kicked heavily on the chest of the Spear Sacred Tree Knight, accompanied by a dull loud noise and scattered armor fragments, the Spear Sacred Tree Knight's chest cavity was concave inward, flying upside down for more than twenty meters.

Ignoring the speared Sacred Tree Knight struggling to get up on the ground in the distance, Leo looked at the wound on the tip of his left index finger with a strange glow in his eyes.

The appearance of the wound does have an impact on the invasion of the [Holy Source Power], if it does not cause a wound, and it takes about 1 second for the maximum burning damage of the mana value to fully take effect, then, after the wound, this time is sharply compressed, becoming 0.2 seconds.

Such a fast effective time......

Although the [Power of the Holy Source] in Leo's body that reaches lv.2 can be mutually devoured by the [Power of the Holy Source] of the Sacred Tree Knight, there is an upper limit to this.

He estimated that if the form of the wound was caused, he would only be able to counteract the invasion of 3 strands of energy at most, and any more, the [Divine Source Power] in his body would not have time to react, causing the mana value to be burned.

Of course, if it is only contact and does not cause erosion of the wound, Leo can resist up to 10 strands.

And with the strength of the Knight of the Sacred Tree, if he wants to inflict a wound on Leo, unless he is voluntary, it is almost impossible to do.

In other words, dealing with a squad of about 10 Knights of the Holy Tree, there is no risk for Leo!

Extremely satisfied with the results of the experiment, Leo swung his sword and beheaded the knight of the spear sacred tree who had completed his mission.

A soul gathered in front of him, and the soul of the "soul of a weak king" level could no longer play the slightest role in improving for Leo today, so he naturally gave it to the mark of fire, preparing to convert it into firewood.

After the Fire Contractor is promoted to the second rank, there are too many places where firewood is needed, such as level, warband skills, etc., if you want to be promoted, the firewood required is simply astronomical.

However, just as the Mark of Fire was about to "devour" the soul of the Sacred Tree Knight, Leo felt a movement in the storage space of the [Holy Scroll: Revelation].

Leo's eyes narrowed, and he immediately stopped the absorption and transformation of the soul by the Fire Mark, and then quickly took out the [Holy Scroll: Apocalypse].

A snow-white girl emerged from the book that radiated pure white light, and with a "whoosh" sound, swallowed the soul of the Sacred Tree Knight into her stomach, and after eating, she seemed to have eaten enough, gave a lovely burp, and then burped back into the book.

The whole time, she kept her eyes closed and did not wake up, as if this action was just her instinctive reaction.

Leo lowered his head and looked at the [Holy Scroll Apocalypse] in his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He could feel that after devouring the soul of the Sacred Tree Knight, the light of the soul of the Holy Maiden Shireen, who was stored in the book, suddenly lit up, and it seemed that she had recovered a lot.

"Can you speed up your recovery by devouring souls......

Leo nodded thoughtfully.
