Chapter 272: The Tree of Blood
The terrifying sound wave swept in all directions, and what came faster than the sound was an "arrow missing" with an ordinary person's thigh-thick thigh and a length of nearly 20 meters.
The super giant arrow fell to the ground, the ground cracked inch by inch, and within a radius of 100 meters, the earth shook and smoke and dust rolled up.
The shock wave raged in all directions, and in the pioneer team, except for Leo, [Gray Wolf] Ewell, [Sun] Nils, [Liangwu] and [Vortex Girl], the rest of the pioneers, in the face of this level of shock wave, were unable to resist, and their bodies were involuntarily pushed away.
Leo raised his head and looked in the direction where the giant arrow had come from.
Because the arrow broke through the air, the gray mist in its path was dispersed, and the remaining white sonic boom did not have the slightest effect on the Eagle Eye of Leo's Grandmaster level Yoel's archery.
Yes, Leo saw the archers who had missed the giant arrow.
Three kilometers away, in the looming gray mist, a black flesh tree with a height of nearly a thousand meters rose from the ground, and the surrounding 100-meter trees compared to it, like giants and children, full of a huge visual difference.
And at the top of the crown of this kilometer-wide giant black flesh tree, stood a giant nearly twenty meters tall and covered in bronze armor, holding a wooden giant bow that was only a little shorter than its height.
The giant arrow that missed just now was shot by this giant.
At this moment, the giant was slowly taking the arrow, drawing the bow, and aiming, and it was expected that in ten seconds, it would be able to shoot a second arrow.
And above the giant's head, stood a black figure about two meters tall.
Leo stared at [Gray Wolf] Ewell, [Sun] Nils, [Two Girls], and [Vortex Girl] beside him, at the same time.
The five of them made eye contact and did not speak, but they all understood what they meant each other.
Rush up!
In this current situation, it is no longer realistic to rely on the power of everyone to clean up the monsters within the range, not to mention, at this moment, within three kilometers centered on the kilometer black flesh giant tree, whether there can be other monsters exist is still a matter of two words.
This sensational kilometer-black flesh tree seemed to absorb all the monsters within a radius of five kilometers.
"Below the third order, except for chasing the light, everyone immediately retreats to a distance of five kilometers!"
Nils let out a loud shout, and then stepped on his feet, his body instantly breaking through the sound barrier and rushing towards the direction of the Kilometer Flesh Giant Tree.
And when [Sun] Nils set off, Leo and the other four also sprinted.
The five of them tacitly separated by a distance of fifty meters, in a straight line, rushed forward.
Among the five people, the [Gray Wolf] Ewell, who has the lowest strength on the surface, all have high-level energy fluctuations at the demigod level, so breaking through the sound barrier is an extremely simple matter for several people.
In fact, in the hundredfold gravity environment of the Sacred Tree Flvedeya, breaking through the sound barrier is a symbol of the strength of the demigod level.
And by the middle level of demigods, it has reached 1.5 times the speed of sound.
At the high level of demigods, it is 2 times the speed of sound.
As for the peak of the demigods, and even the limit of the demigods, it is even higher.
In the past, because of the shield of the gray fog, it was difficult for everyone to observe and perceive what existed in the gray fog a hundred meters away, so they did not dare to rush at such a speed, that is, a brief outbreak in the battle.
And now in this situation, there is a high probability that there are no monsters in the gray fog, and the distance of three kilometers has been reached in just over four seconds under the sprint of five people at twice the speed of sound.
This is still to take care of [Gray Wolf] Ewell, otherwise the others can burst out faster.
As they got closer, the appearance of the kilometer-black flesh tree became clearer and clearer in the eyes of Leo and the other five.
It was similar to the hundred-meter black flesh tree that I had seen before, but the trunk was so thick that I didn't know how much, and the bare roots on the ground were like dragons that had broken free from their restraints, spreading wantonly.
The trunk of the tree was covered with scales, making the surface of the giant tree extremely strong.
Higher up, on the scattered branches, there are black flesh fruits of more than ten meters, they are like beating hearts, expanding and contracting, as if life is pregnant inside, about to be born.
When they were still a hundred meters away from the kilometer black flesh giant tree, [the two women] took the lead in attacking.
The dark cyan spear behind him suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was already on the raised right hand of [the two people].
"Crackling!"
The red lightning exploded, and the shot that had almost eliminated the giant bird monster in one blow reappeared, and after a very brief charge, the spear of dark blue and red was thrown by [Liangwu].
"Boom!"
In mid-air, the dark cyan gun marks almost cut through the space, but when everyone looked at the spear landing point, their hearts were shocked.
I saw that at the head of the spear where dark blue and red were intertwined, less than a centimeter away from the skin of the kilometer black flesh giant tree, a layer of blood-colored halo appeared out of thin air.
As the power of the spear continued to intensify, the blood-colored halo gradually spread, spreading from the bottom to the entire body of the tree, and from a distance, it looked like the black tree was crawling with dense blood vessels, flashing with dazzling light.
There was a "boom", and the dark blue spear rolled back and was held in the hands of [Liangwu].
But at this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by the mutation of the Kilometer Flesh Giant Tree.
As the "blood vessels" appeared on the tree, the black fruits of more than ten meters hanging from the branches also spread blood-colored lines on the surface, and then began to fall.
"Wow-"
One by one, huge fruits landed, and at a cursory glance, the number was at least a hundred or more.
The top of these fallen fruits is attached to a very thin but extremely tough tree filament, which cushions the terrifying kinetic energy of the landing.
"Winter! Winter! Winter! ”
One by one, the fruits fell to the ground, bursting, and in the black slime that spread, a behemoth about ten meters tall walked out.
That's a pure-blooded knight of the Holy Tree!
The surface of their armor has black-red lines, and the aura on their bodies is even stronger than that of ordinary pure-blooded knights of the Holy Tree, reaching the level of a mid-level demigod!
A hundred demigod mid-rank Sacred Tree Pure-Blood Knights!
Such a lineup could not make the five of Leo frightened.
You must know that although they had hunted far more than 100 pure-blooded knights of the Holy Tree before, they were scattered and killed one by one, at most, only about twenty.
"Boom!"
Along with the black fruit, there was also the twenty-meter-tall giant.
The terrifying tonnage landed, bringing up a howling wind.
The faces of the five were ugly.
The rest of the pioneer ranks are gone. In the face of such a number of pure-blood knights of the sacred tree, as well as the mysterious giant archers, and the most crucial source of aberrations and pollution in this place, [Deep Stained Pure-Blood Knight] Flanders, Leo and the others did not feel extremely stressed?
You know, the threat of the pure-blood knights of the Holy Tree has risen dramatically with the increase in numbers!
The upper limit of the energy of the [Power of the Holy Source] burned and did not disappear, even Leo did not dare to say that the level of the [Power of the Holy Source] in his body could resist the erosion of the pure-blooded knights of the Holy Tree.
In the previous battles, everyone tried to avoid colliding head-on with the pure-blood knights of the sacred tree, even in close combat, they used energy to attach to their weapons.
Surrounded by a hundred pure-blood knights of the sacred tree, not to mention the crusade against [Deep-Tainted Pure-Blood Knight] Flanders, even saving your life is a problem.
At this moment, [Sun] Nils took a step forward, his face resolute and serious, and a golden light spread from his body, and the light covered a wide area, and in an instant, it encompassed the range of a kilometer.
Leo looked over and saw that the heart of [Sun] Nils was emitting an incomparably brilliant golden light, and terrifying energy was spreading from it.
"The heart of God?"
Leo stared at it, recognizing the origin of the thing.
The legend condenses the magic core, and the legend is promoted to a demigod, and the soul essence is transformed, and the true soul is achieved, and the magic core becomes a central organ like the heart of the true soul.
The path of the demigods has reached its limit, and the core of the magic power has undergone a fundamental qualitative change, becoming the "Heart of God", which contains unpredictable energy, and the symbol ability of the Demon God, the "World", is based on the "Heart of God".
However, unlike the Divine Heart that Leo had seen in the past on the Spider Empress Christale and the Great Lord of the Abyss, the Blood Fiend, this "Divine Heart" stored in the chest of [Sun] Nils was cracked all over the surface, and it was broken and incomplete.
Therefore, [Sun] Nils can only borrow the majestic energy of the God's heart, but cannot expand the "world".
But even then, it was enough.
In the special environment of the Holy Tree Flvedia, only the power of the Demon God level has such a wide range of influence.
Under the suppression of the golden light, all the pure-blood knights of the Holy Tree seemed to be frozen, motionless, maintaining the form of an imminent attack.
"Quick! Only a minute! ”
Nils snorted, at this moment, his face and neck under the helmet were all over his body, and his blood vessels were bulging, obviously, borrowing the energy of the "Heart of God", even if he had the strength of the peak of a demigod, it was extremely reluctant.
"[The two of them] join me, pestering the Giant Archers and the [Deep-Tainted Pure-Blood Knights]. You two, destroy the enemy quickly. ”
From the battle to the present, [Vortex Girl], who has never opened her mouth, spoke for the first time, and her voice was unexpectedly immature, like an underage girl, but at this moment, Leo has no time to pay attention to this.
The situation was urgent, and the moment [Vortex Girl's] words fell, he and [Gray Wolf] Evel rushed out, aiming directly at the pure-blood knights of the Holy Tree who were immobilized by the golden light.
The moment the golden light spread, the burly figure standing above the head of the giant archer opened its eyes, its child's hole was scarlet, and countless black silk threads circulated inside.
Its height was only two and a half meters, not to mention the Sacred Tree Pure-Blood Knight, who had greatly increased in size, even if it was an ordinary Sacred Tree Knight, it was taller than it, but the moment it opened its eyes, a terrifying sense of oppression instantly enveloped the whole audience, and the energy fluctuations that could be called the limit of the demigods spread out in an instant.
Even Leo felt a stinging sense of crisis in his heart.
But instead of glancing at the [Pure-Blood Knights of the Deep], he focused on the Pure-Blood Knights of the Sacred Tree who had been immobilized.
[Pure-Blood Knight] Flanders raised his hand, and two extremely delicately shaped crossbows appeared in his hands, and with the convergence of magical light, two crossbow arrows flew out, shooting at Leo and [Gray Wolf] Ewell.
But at this moment, [Vortex Girl] and [Liangwu] appeared in front of the crossbow arrows and blocked the crossbow arrows with their own means.
……
Leo's eyes were as cold as ice, at the moment of crisis, he was no longer hidden, his magic power and sword intent were intertwined and transformed, forming a transcendent power, making his energy fluctuate, at this moment, he was no longer inferior to the [Sun] Nils at the peak of the demigod.
At full speed, he has reached a terrifying level of nearly three times the speed of sound!
At these speeds, the air seems to turn into a viscous liquid that flows.
"Mystery Sword Technique: Ring Break!"
In order to ensure sufficient power, the sword qi that spread out from the ring break was only ten meters, but as long as it was within this range, the pure-blooded knight of the holy tree who was slashed by the sword qi immediately separated his head, and his soul fell on the spot.
At the same time, after the death of the pure-blood knight of the Holy Tree, inexplicable special energy flew into Leo's body, causing his [Holy Source Power] progress to increase at an astonishing speed.
In this way, Leo can be called one position per second, and in each position, two or three pure-blood knights of the Holy Tree died.
On the other hand, [Gray Wolf] Ewell also showed his hidden means.
I saw him look up to the sky and howl angrily, and then, his body began to deform and swell, and the cloak and armor on his body melted into his body, turning into a gray werewolf with a height of nearly five meters and a person standing up.
The brutal and bloody aura swept in all directions, and the speed of the transformed [Gray Wolf] Ewell skyrocketed, and the wolf claws growing on his hands were long and sharp, and with a single sweep, he could break through the armor defenses of the pure-blood knights of the sacred tree and shatter his body.
However, compared to Leo's range slash, although [Gray Wolf] Ewell is faster, it is always inferior in efficiency.
At about forty seconds, there were no Pure-Blood Knights of the Sacred Tree standing on the field.
Leo killed 68 of them, and [Gray Wolf] Evel captured 32 of them, which made [Gray Wolf] Evel look at Leo with a deep look of shock.
】
Previously, although he could faintly sense that this new second-order contractor named "Chasing Light" was not simple, he never imagined that it would be so strong.
Of course, now is not the time to think about this, as the pure-blood knights of the Holy Tree were killed, [Sun] Nils also stopped urging the "Heart of God", and the whole person fell to his knees, gasping for breath, and in a short time, he lost his combat effectiveness.
Leo and [Gray Wolf] Ewell glanced at each other, supporting [Vortex Girl] and [Liangwu].
At this moment, the two of them also happened to have a confrontation with [Deep Stained Pure-Blood Knight] Flanders, and each stood a hundred meters to his left and right.
With the arrival of Leo and [Grey Wolf] Evel, the four of them formed in all directions, encircling the Giant Archer and [Deep-Tainted Pure-Blood Knight] Flanders.
The real battle begins!
