Realizing that the Holy Maiden Shireen could speed up her recovery by devouring her soul, Leo was overjoyed, but he couldn't help but have a headache.

There were already many places where he needed to use his soul, and now there was another saint Shirin......

Although it seems that the Holy Maiden Shireen is very full after eating the "Soul of a Weak King", what about the future?

With a sigh, Leo cast his gaze on the gray mist in the distance.

In any case, it is good to be able to speed up the recovery, and it is always uncomfortable to carry a girl who calls him "Father", not to mention that the Holy Maiden Shireen recovers quickly, and she can also tell him some information about the depths of the Holy Tree Florvidea as soon as possible.

As for now...... Naturally, "fishing law enforcement" began.

……

The Sacred Tree of Flvedia is located within a radius of 80~85 kilometers [outside the Sacred Tree].

The streets that used to be quiet are now sounding loud horns, and the sound of the horns is still gradually moving, heading into the depths.

Leo trotted unhurriedly through the streets, and behind him was the Knights of the Sacred Tree, who were on their horses charging and blowing their trumpets.

This kind of holy tree knight with a military horn is very rare, Leo also looked for a while to find it, in order to reuse, he took this military horn holy tree knight around the circle, at this moment, the corner of his eye swept the holy tree knights gathered behind him, and saw that there were already 10, and there were also holy tree knights who heard the sound in the distance, Leo stopped.

Of the 10 Sacred Tree Knights, 3 are ranged crossbows and 7 are melee types with various heavy polearms.

Turning to face the charging Knights of the Sacred Tree, Leo raised his right hand and grasped the hilt of the light-chasing sword at his waist.

These knights of the sacred tree sitting on their horses and wearing heavy armor with a height of nearly four meters formed a team and charged side by side, their momentum far exceeding that of a single body, faintly giving people the feeling that their qi was connected, and the threat was greatly increased.

Coupled with the threat of the three ranged Sacred Tree Knight crossbows in the rear, Leo encountered such a lineup when he first entered the Sacred Tree Flvideya, and unless he fell into distortion, he would have no life.

But now, they're just fish in the palm of your hand.

"Qiang—"

In the crisp metal hum, the pure cyan long sword was unsheathed, and five simple magic patterns lit up on the sword body one by one.

After the Soul Fire Brightness reached 20.0, Leo was able to open the five magic patterns of [Storm Aria Final Chapter] without burden, bringing him the high blessing of "50% Wind Attribute Utilization and 50% Speed", which further increased his speed that was already far beyond that of the Sacred Tree Knight.

"Boom!"

With a single step, accompanied by a huge depression in the ground, and a violent white air flow swirling around his body in a spiral shape, Leo came behind the Legion Sacred Tree Knights, looked at the seven melee Sacred Tree Knights close at hand, and grinned.

"Ukai Sword Technique, Ring Break, Half Ring Slash!"

The prototype "Ring Break" is a 360° circular sword qi slashing out around the body, while the advanced "Ring Break" is to cut out 8 such ring-shaped sword qi at the same time, so that it covers all areas of the body, and now this "semi-ring type" that spreads out to the front and does not affect the rear is a sword type deliberately developed by Leo for a specific environment.

The range of pure cyan sword qi diffusion was not far, only covering a semicircle with a radius of 10 meters in front of Leo, and this range just wrapped these 7 melee type holy tree knights who were charging side by side.

"Bang!"

The semi-circular sword qi spread rapidly, and the Sacred Tree Knight who was touched by it flew directly upside down, and in mid-air, the strong concussive force knocked them into a momentary state of stiffness.

"Whew——!"

A violent sound of breaking the air sounded, and the three crossbow arrows hit Leo's chest almost simultaneously and accurately, but they were stopped by the magic power that surged on the surface of his body, unable to cause direct damage, and the [Holy Source Power] carried on the crossbow arrows ignored the interception of the clothes and magic power on the surface of the body, and penetrated deep into the body, but was hit head-on by the power of the Holy Source in the body on standby, and they devoured each other, and soon, these three

The [Power of the Holy Origin] carried on the crossbow bolt dissipated.

The impact of the crossbow bolts did not have any effect on Leo, and he looked at the Sacred Tree Knights flying upside down around him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a brief charge, the long sword slashed out.

"Ukupanisha Sword Technique, Wind Ghost, San!"

The prototype wind ghost is a sword qi with an attack distance of 20 meters and the power of spiral strangulation, within 20 meters, the power is enough to chop the dummy of the initial tenacity of the demigod into pieces with a single sword, purely in terms of power, even if it is a demigod intermediate level, it will be injured.

But to deal with the Holy Tree Knight, you don't need to use this level of sword qi at all, considering that you need to deal with multiple Sacred Tree Knights at one time, Leo deliberately improved the sword technique, dividing the original sword qi into three, so that the power of the sword qi dropped to the level of seriously injuring the demigod at the first level, but against the Sacred Tree Knight, such a powerful sword qi is enough, and the number of one-time transactions has also changed from the original one to three.

The sword qi covering the power of the spiral strangulation accurately hit the three Sacred Tree Knights in the upside-down state, and with a "bang", the heads of these three Sacred Tree Knights exploded into countless fragments of flesh, blood and bone residue on the spot, and even with their chests, about half of the area was swept by the strangulation and disappeared without a trace.

The spread of the black blood mist in the sky, the strong stimulation, caused the other four Sacred Tree Knights to break free from their stiff state, and the black mud on their bodies surged, apparently realizing that the enemy's strong strength was about to enter an aberrant form.

Under normal conditions, the strength of the Sacred Tree Knights is the legendary limit, and after entering the distorted form, their strength will further surge, increasing to a level that is infinitely close to the first level of demigods, and such strength, described by the system of the character panel, is the "soul of the weak king".

But how could Leo allow it?

Although even if they were to enter the distorted form, their combat power would not be more than that in Leo's eyes, why should an enemy that could be easily dealt with make them strong?

"Aoyi Sword Technique, Wind Ghost, San" slashed out again, and used the same type of Aoyi Sword Technique at the same time in a very short period of time, which brought a certain burden to Leo's body, making his wrist feel sour, according to this situation, he can use the same type of Armagai Sword Technique up to three times in a short period of time, and if he continues to use it, it will cause serious damage to his body, which can only be done after Leo Soul Fire Brightness reaches 20.0, and before that, he could not do the same type of Armagai Sword Technique in a short period of time.

The sword qi with the power of spiral strangulation was pointed out again, accurately strangling the 3 Sacred Tree Knights who were about to enter the distorted form, and did not care about the remaining 1 melee Sacred Tree Knight who had entered the distorted form, Leo broke his footsteps, and his body disappeared in place in an instant, and when he reappeared, he had come to the front of the 3 long-range Sacred Tree Knights who wound the crossbow.

The Sacred Tree Knight's crossbow is extremely powerful, but it is also more troublesome to wind, it takes at least 2 seconds, unless there is a melee Sacred Tree Knight to delay time for them, otherwise it is generally used at the beginning to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, and then these ranged Sacred Tree Knights are pulled out of their one-handed swords at their waists and transformed into melee Sacred Tree Knights.

However, it was clear that these ranged Sacred Tree Knights had not been able to transform into Sacred Tree Knights quickly enough, until Leo appeared in front of them, realizing that something was wrong, that they had just lowered their winding hands and prepared to draw their one-handed swords.

"Sting-"

The sword slashed, and the heads of three ranged Sacred Tree Knights flew into the air.

After dealing with them, Leo turned around and looked at the Sacred Tree Knight, who had completely fallen into a distorted form.

Black mud surged over the surface of its body, forming a body resembling a giant python, and its scarlet eyes looked directly at Leo.

This form is no stranger to Leo.

Distorted monsters, when they fall into distortion, most of the distorted power in their bodies will form the appearance of a giant python.

Although he didn't understand the principle, for Leo, even if he was a knight of the sacred tree who had fallen into an aberrant form, his strength was just like that.

With the complete slash of the "Upanishd Sword Technique: Wind Ghost", the last melee type Sacred Tree Knight fell.

And at this moment, the knight of the Holy Tree, who had charged at the forefront before, could turn around.

Leo stretched out his hand and grabbed the souls of 10 Sacred Tree Knights in his hands

After being sent to the Mark of Fire to be converted into firewood, he nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the firewood that had grown to 2200 on the data frame, and looked at the Sacred Tree Knight in the distance with more and more "kind" eyes.

The first crusade against 10 Knights of the Sacred Tree, Leo was careful not to use a bow and arrow.

Now that the 10 or so Sacred Tree Knights are not able to pose any threat to him, his next hunt will be to use longbow arrows to shoot and kill, so as to hone [Yoel's Archery] and [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting].

The Knight of the Sacred Tree, who was devoured by the aberration, saw 10 of his kind summoned by it being killed, and remained indifferent, and continued to overtake Leo and continue to blow the horn.

Leo stepped on his feet, keeping a suitable distance from the Sacred Tree Knight, and began the next round of "fishing enforcement".

……

Time passed in a hurry, and even the sacred tree of Flvidea shrouded in gray fog was divided into day and night.

As the hazy glimmer faded and the scarlet blood moon showed its edge, the monsters in the entire sacred tree of Flvideya became more violent, and some monsters that had not been seen during the day appeared.

[Outer Tree], in a tree cavity only three kilometers away from the [Inner Perimeter of the Sacred Tree].

"Crackling......

The sound of burning firewood rang out, and the beating light of the fire dispelled the darkness and brought a light to the dark hollow.

Not long after the last round of hunting, Leo sat by the campfire and did a short repair.

From day to night, he used the Sacred Tree Knight to catch a total of 175 Sacred Tree Knights, and it didn't waste much effort to kill these Sacred Tree Knights, but it took a lot of time to find these Sacred Tree Knights.

Even with the "shout" of the Sacred Tree Knights, the further back they go, the fewer Sacred Tree Knights they will attract, and it often takes more time to assemble a batch.

Together with the 8 Tree Knights he killed before finding the Horn Tree Knights, he killed a total of 183 Tree Knights.

And right now, a tenth of the entire [Sacred Tree's Periphery] has been swept away by Leo.

Although the area with a radius of 70~100 km is not very large, it is not small for individuals.

Even if Leo was fast, he didn't dare to run too fast because of the gray mist's vision.

Although the [Outer Tree] is a "beginner's area", if there is a special place similar to the Holy Hell Church, it is difficult to predict the consequences if you are not careful to break in.

After killing so many Sacred Tree Knights, Leo also had a great harvest.

First of all, the skill he is most concerned about, [Yoel's Archery], and the [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting] that are summarized in it, have made major breakthroughs.

——

【Yoel's Archery (Grandmaster 1013/3000)】

[The archery used by the knights of Joel City is known for their absolute precision. 】

In the past, the city of Joel was also known as the City of Arrows. 】

【Expand Skills:

- 1. [Eagle Eye] (cannot be upgraded, the effect increases with the level of Joel's archery)

——2、Grandmaster-level trait· [Absolute Lock]: After staring at the enemy for 1 second (can move), the first arrow shot comes with the basic tracking ability, which can be tracked 3 times in different directions; After concentrating on the enemy for 3 seconds (unable to move), the first arrow shot comes with an absolute tracking and locking ability, and until it misses the enemy, it will continue to track until the kinetic energy and energy on the arrow are exhausted, and this arrow also has an armor-piercing and acceleration effect, ignoring 50% of the enemy's armor, and in the first 10 seconds of shooting, it gains a 200% bonus to the rate of fire that gradually decays.

- 3. [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting (Master Level 760/1000)] (Blessed by the Grandmaster-level Yoel Archery, before the Grandmaster-level, the proficiency acquisition efficiency has been greatly increased)]

——

The [Yoel Archery] promoted to the "Grandmaster Level" is extremely powerful.

First of all, it is the ability that Leo values the most, the Eagle Eye.

The master's Eagle Eye made him in the [Sacred Tree Periphery]

It has a field of vision of 100 meters, and the Grandmaster level, as a qualitative level, expands this field of vision to 300 meters once it breaks through!

This made Leo extremely happy.

The increase in visual field is indescribably beneficial to the sacred tree of Flvedia, where perception is limited.

For example, the Sacred Tree Knight and the Pure-Blood Knight of the Sacred Tree have a range of 50 meters, and the Pure-Blood Knight of the Sacred Tree has a range of 150 meters.

But now, with Leo's field of vision increased to 300 meters, he can spot the Sacred Tree Knight and the Holy Tree Pure-Blood Knight in advance outside the range of the enemy, and he can plan in advance, whether to fight or retreat, and let him do whatever he wants.

This alone shows the strength of the grandmaster-level [Yoel Archery].

However, the strength of [Yoel's Archery] after being promoted to the Grandmaster level is not only this, just like the first sword technique to break through to the Grandmaster, as the first archery to break through to the Grandmaster level, it has gained an extremely powerful trait - [Absolute Lock].

This trait is divided into two cases, one of which is to lock on to the first arrow fired after 1 second, and has the ability to track 3 times. Because it can be used on the move, this can be applied to combat and catch the enemy off guard. If you think that the arrow that you had dodged was so close that it suddenly turned to shoot, anyone would be surprised.

The second is the full form of this trait, and the first arrow fired after 3 seconds of staring has absolute tracking, armor piercing, and speed increase. However, because this situation requires full concentration, it cannot be triggered during movement, so it is mostly used for lurking sneak attacks, and once it is shot, its power is so powerful that even Leo himself is not sure to resist it. You can also take such an arrow before the opening to get the first opportunity.

All in all, whether it's the first or second scenario, [Absolute Lockdown] brings an extra good twist to Leo's way of fighting.

After talking about the changes in the ability of [Yoel's Archery] itself, the last one is [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting].

Upgraded from "Mastery" to "Master", the growth of [Skill: Continuous Shooting] is not small, and the number of additional arrows shot in a short period of time has been increased from 4 to 6, and if you count the basic one, you can shoot a total of 7 arrows! The cooldown has also been reduced again, from 15 seconds to 10 seconds.

The original intention of the [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting] exchange was because Leo was afraid of the [Power of the Holy Tree], so he wanted to solve more Sacred Tree Knights at once through long-range attacks, but now, after the level of [Sacred Source Power] was raised, the Sacred Tree Knight He no longer had to be afraid, and the number of Sacred Tree Pure-Blood Knights in [Sacred Tree Inner Circle] was smaller, and Leo had never seen two companions, of course, this was also related to the fact that he did not go deep into the [Holy Tree Inner Circle], but no matter what, there should not be more than 5 Sacred Tree Pure-Blood Knights gathered in [Holy Tree Inner Circle], This also causes [Skill: Continuous Fire] to lose its point in attacking multiple targets at the same time.

But in fact, this is not the case, it is true that Leo does not need to attack more than one enemy at the same time, but he can aim the same enemy with 7 arrows fired almost at the same time.

Although there is a conflict between [Combat Skill: Continuous Shooting] and the [Absolute Lock] trait of [Yoel Archery] after being promoted to the Grandmaster level, the damage of 7 consecutive shots, with the precise blessing of the Eagle Eye, and hitting one part at the same time, should not be underestimated.

……

In addition to the gains in archery, killing so many Sacred Tree Knights also re-enriched Leo's shriveled "wallet".

Looking at the 37698 firewood displayed on the data frame, Leo smiled with satisfaction.

With so much firewood, it was more than enough for him to raise the skills of the two warbands to full level.

183 Sacred Tree Knights, which were supposed to be 36,600 firewood, but with the blessing of [Plundering Wind Lv.6] (Rare), they got 3% more.

Retracting his gaze, Leo stood up from the campfire and prepared to go out to explore.

He had never explored the night of the sacred tree of Flvidea, so he was a little curious.

This is the [Outer Periphery of the Sacred Tree], and even though the night monsters are stronger and have more variety, overall the threat is not very high.

walk

Out of the hole in the tree, the tulle-like pale red moonlight spread on his body, and Leo glanced at the blood moon high in the sky.

Unlike when he first saw it, the Blood Moon was much fuller, and it was not far from the full moon.

Leo looked ahead, compared to the daytime, his vision at night was obviously impaired, and under the light of the blood moon, he could only see about two hundred meters ahead.

But that's enough.

In the gray mist, Leo walked briskly.

Because of the previous cleaning, the Sacred Tree Knights in the surrounding area have disappeared, and there are no traces of monsters except for those weak Sacred Tree residents hiding in the tree hole.

Going deeper down the street, about a few hundred meters later, Leo's eyes moved slightly and he looked at a tree.

Compared to the giant tree in the [Inner Periphery of the Sacred Tree], the height of the trees in the [Outer Periphery of the Sacred Tree] was obviously inferior, and Leo could clearly see that in the value of that tree, there was a creeping black shadow, which seemed to be lurking, waiting for him to approach.

Leo smiled at this.

He stopped, and the flames flashed, and a longbow appeared in his hand, taking arrows, bending bows, and pulling strings.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang, as if a heavy cannon was discharged, and a circle of qi waves that looked red under the moonlight swung out, and the arrows instantly crossed a distance of more than a hundred meters, and before the black shadow could react, it passed through.

Before he could even scream, the shadow was already alive and dead.

Leo stepped forward, and without the cover of the branches, the appearance of the black shadow was completely exposed.

It was a leopard-like creature, but its fur was pitch black, extremely difficult to find under the black, with sharp claws and teeth, and its head was born with a single horn, and there were special fluctuations on the single horn, a bit similar to the mixed energy of moonlight and distortion, and it should be able to release some kind of unique ability through this single horn.

Judging from the aura fluctuations, it is no worse than the Sacred Tree Knight, and if you count the special abilities and distortion form, the degree of difficulty will definitely exceed that of the Sacred Tree Knight.

[Obtain [Nightblade Leopard]'s Soul of the Weaker King......]

"Nightblade Leopard......" Leo's gaze condensed slightly, the [Outer Periphery of the Sacred Tree] This strength of the Nightblade Leopard is naturally not a concern, but if it is replaced by the [Inner Circumference of the Sacred Tree] with a higher strength and a deeper degree of distortion......

"Sure enough, the sacred tree of Flvedia at night is far more dangerous than during the day."

Leo muttered to himself.

After observing the corpse of the Nightblade Leopard for a while, until it was completely turned into fly ashes, Leo casually exchanged his soul for 250*1.03=258 firewood, and continued to move forward.

Thanks to the blessing of [Yoel's Archery (Grandmaster)], Leo, who has a field of view of 200 meters, can always spot those nightblade leopards hidden in the shadows in advance, as well as a large bat-like distortion monster of the same value as the nightblade leopard, and after solving them, his firewood salary will increase to 39762.

Soon, Leo came to the junction of the [Outer Perimeter of the Sacred Tree] and the [Inner Perimeter of the Sacred Tree].

Under the Blood Moon, the wall of pale gray mist separating the two areas also turned crimson, giving people a strong sense of ominousness.

Leo thought about it and decided to go inside and have a look.

As he passed through the wall of air, ripples like water rippled around him.

When the scene in front of him came into view, Leo's pupils couldn't help but contract.

It's just a terrifying sight.

The hundred-meter giant trees that used to stand quietly in the daytime have become dry at this moment, and countless black flesh and blood spread upwards from the bottom of the tree, climbing to the canopy, and then hanging down from the branches, like tentacles, turning the original giant forest into a forest of flesh and blood.

Above the Flesh Giant Tree, there was a strange shadow with a wingspan of dozens of meters soaring, because of the distance, and the concentration of gray fog was too high to further reduce the field of vision, Leo could not see it really, but there was no doubt that this was an extremely terrifying monster.

Being able to support such a huge body soaring into the sky in an environment of 100 times the gravity is unimaginable.

In the Forest of Flesh and Blood, Leo also saw that the deformity had become even more terrifying, and the pure-blooded knight of the Holy Tree with a height of ten meters was wandering, and its aura was far stronger than before, estimated

There is a demigod mid-level peak!

Deeper, low footsteps sounded, and Leo vaguely saw a huge black figure wandering higher than the surrounding giant trees.

Leo's brow furrowed.

Compared to the [Outer Perimeter of the Sacred Tree], the changes in the night of the [Inner Perimeter of the Sacred Tree] are a little too big, right?

In this case, it is obviously not suitable to enter the exploration.

Although one of Leo's goals in entering the Holy Tree Flvydea this time is to find a strong enemy to break through the swordsmanship, but breaking through the swordsmanship is not to find death, and the current [Inner Circumference of the Sacred Tree], anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong.

Leo exited the [Inner Perimeter of the Sacred Tree] and returned to the [Outer Perimeter of the Sacred Tree], found a hole in the tree at random, lit a bonfire, and prepared to return to the Burning Shrine to repair it, preparing to wait for tomorrow to dawn before entering the [Inner Perimeter of the Sacred Tree] to explore.

The light of the fire flowed, and when his vision returned to normal, Leo returned to the fire area of the Burning Shrine, and as soon as he appeared, a voice came from the side.

"Looks like you're lucky to have survived, Second Order Newcomer......

The voice was somewhat familiar, and Leo turned his head to see a burly knight covered in steel armor, sitting on the stairs beside him, the light of the fire reflecting an uncertain glow on his armor.

"It's ...... you"

Not long after the time passed, of course, Leo remembered the other party, on the day he first became the Covenanter of Fire, this person gave him an "Stealth Pill", although to this day, this "Stealth Pill" is still lying in his storage space, but it does not prevent Leo from accepting the other party's love.

"The strength has improved so fast......" The steel-armored burly knight glanced at the mark of fire on the back of Leo's right hand, which belonged to the fluctuations of the second order, and could not hide from the fire contractor of the same rank, "It's only about ten days."

The Steel-Armored Warrior sighed and continued, "My name is Nils Saguna, because I inherited the position of the leader of the 'Sun Band', everyone prefers to call me [Sun] Nils, newcomer, what do you call me?"

"Chase the light."

Leo took a closer look at the knight named Nils, in a polite manner, he was not good at releasing his perception to investigate carefully, but just by sensing the breath, Leo could judge that the other party's strength was not weak, and it could even be said that it was very strong, even in the demigods, it was by no means weak, and there was a kind of devastating fluctuation in his body that even he was terrified.

On the other hand, [Sun] Nils was also surprised in his heart.

Last time he was in a hurry, he didn't pay much attention to this newcomer named "Chasing Light", and at this moment, under close contact, he couldn't even sense the energy fluctuations of the other party, as if there was a thick fog hanging over him, making it impossible for others to perceive.

"Fun Newcomer ......"

With a sigh in his heart, [Sun] Nils said in a deep voice, "Recently, there has been a drastic change in the [Inner Circle of the Sacred Tree] for some reason, and the monsters inside seem to have entered a deeper distortion, and there are also many monsters that have never been seen before, which is extremely dangerous."

"The intensity of the distortion pollution in the air has further intensified, and even second-order contractors can stay for less than one-third of the original time."

"You're a newcomer, and I can't notify you if I haven't added contact information with other second-order contractors."

"Thankfully, you're back safely this time."
