Chapter 498: Returning the Favor

With the screeching sound of gunfire, Erica's body was smashed into a sieve by powerful bullets.

But she ignored the pain in her body, and with the force of the blow, Erica's body fell backwards, and her eyes looked at the sky of the royal city.

With Erica being knocked down, the people she had captured in Heaven were also released.

These mentally broken recipient soldiers caused a huge riot the moment they came out, and many even chose to shoot their original colleagues.

Erica felt that her consciousness was rapidly losing consciousness, and the scene in front of her was blurring, and the stars in the sky were no longer visible.

She opened her mouth, blood pouring out of her mouth, and the rapid loss of power made Erica feel like she couldn't even control her vocal cords.

"I beg you...... Save the King...... Lift her shackles......"

The blood in her mouth and the rapid flow of life made Erica's voice buried in the chaotic royal city.

But she knew very well that with that person's strength, this would be enough.

Shout.

A familiar spatial warp appeared, and instead of Elijah, Erica was presented to another figure that looked somewhat strange and yet familiar.

"Please......"

Looking at the figure that still had a large presence in the blurred vision, Erica used her last strength to utter these inaudible words.

"Don't be so polite, I said, I owe you a favor, so I will help you rescue your king."

Analyzing the principle of Nathan Wei's free spatial teleportation on the island, Zheng Shu teleported to Erica's side with the help of the power of the tree, looking at the old man who had completely lost his breath of life at his feet, he smiled and nodded, responding to the promise he had made earlier.

"Who are you? Why can you move in the space of a tree?! ”

Elijah stood on top of the tower of the royal city, and the pistol in his hand was aimed at Zheng Shu, his face was very ugly.

Zheng Shu just glanced at him, didn't answer his question, didn't continue to pay attention to him, and walked towards the interior of the royal city.

It was at this glance that Elijah completely lost the ability to resist. He stood there stunned, his gaze out of focus.

Not only Elijah, but all of the recipient soldiers of Behemoth within the royal city also lost their luster at the same time, standing in place.

After a long time, with a gust of night wind blowing, Elijah's body, which had lost its support, fell from the tower, splashing with a burst of blood.

Thump!

As if for a chain reaction, the bodies of large swaths of the recipient soldiers who had lost their vignance began to fall to the ground, each with no injuries on their bodies, as if they had collectively had a heart attack.

Inside the royal city, Zheng Shu looked at the energy light group in his hand that condensed the innate Qi of a group of people, nodded with satisfaction, and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Huh? Blocked the space? ”

Just as he wanted to move on, Zheng Shu suddenly realized that something was wrong.

King Nathan inside seemed to be aware of Zheng Shu's presence, relying on the power of the tree to seal off the entire completed space, prohibiting anyone from teleporting.

"The lockdown method is kind of interesting, but the magnitude of the energy is too bad."

Zheng Shu nodded and shook his head, stretching out his feet and stepping forward.

Click.

An imperceptible sound of shattering flashed in the space, and Zheng Shu's figure blurred again, disappearing into the square strewn with corpses.

……

……

In the center of the city, the square where the tree is located.

King Nathan fell to his knees, gasping for air, his body shaking involuntarily.

Her snow-white garment, unadorned, was full of broken holes, the only damage left when the tree was connected to her body.

Connecting with a tree doesn't damage her body, but it can be extremely oppressive to her spirit.

So by her side, Yelena, the only one among Nathanwei who didn't have much combat power, but was extremely rich in mental research, was accompanying her.

Looking at Zheng Shu, who forcibly crushed the blockade of the tree and teleported to his eyes, King Nathan could no longer maintain that calm demeanor.

"Who are you?!"

"Me? Didn't we already meet earlier? And through this tree, you should be able to perceive what Nathanway is thinking, so you should be able to 'hear' Nathanway's request to me just now. ”

Zheng Shu still had the same smiling attitude, and after giving King Nathan an explanation that was not an explanation at all, he walked straight in the direction of the tree.

But just as Zheng Shu was about to approach the king of Nasen and the tree, a figure with light blue hair and snow-white body blocked in front of him.

"Oh, are you trying to stop me? But I don't mean anything malicious. Zheng Shu looked at Yelena in front of him.

The other party's ability is very close to Xia He in the four arrogances of all sexes, and it is the type that can strongly charm the opposite sex.

However, the direction of Elena's development of her abilities is completely different from Xia He's, Xia He focuses on seducing and forcibly controlling people's hearts, while Elena focuses on appeasing spirits, which should be in order to match the ability to provide assistance for all Nathan guards after King Nathan and Tree are combined.

However, although seducing the opposite sex is not the focus of her ability development, with the help of her innate appearance, Elena is still very confident in her "lethality" against a single opposite sex.

Even those high-level leaders who have seen a lot of information in the major forces, on the premise of knowing the truth, will inevitably be obsessed with Irina.

"Can I ask you to get out of here?"

Irina's voice sounded unusually soft, as if just hearing his voice would make people feel relaxed.

If it were an ordinary person, maybe just this sentence would be enough to make them kneel under each other's feet.

"Not really, I promised the old lady outside to save your King Nathan." Zheng Shu was still smiling as before.

Although facing Zheng Shu's smile that seemed quite friendly, Yelena's heart was full of surprise.

Although the expression is very friendly, Zheng Shu conveys full politeness and estrangement in both his attitude and tone.

If it is a normal situation, the other party should be involuntarily close to her, even if it is a relatively abnormal situation, the other party should convey the emotion of resistance.

However, such polite and estranged emotions ...... This means that the man in front of him is completely unaffected by his abilities.

"Confused?" Zheng Shu's question sounded as if he was able to read Yelena's heart.

"You ......"

"I once told another person who is good at this that the premise of performing an ability like charm is that your appearance is higher than that of the other person."

Zheng Shu no longer maintained the formulaic smile on his face, rubbed his face, relaxed his control over his facial muscles, and showed a helpless expression on his face.

"Hmm!"

Irina snorted, her body swaying and falling to the ground, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

Just now, her charm was broken.

Enchantment is not the same as other spells, and if you want to be broken, you need to have an unstable mentality in the caster's own mind.

In other words, just now, she had admitted that her appearance was not as good as the other party.

Zheng Shu passed Yelena with a light figure and came to King Nathan.

"You look quite resistant, why, are you angry that you were rescued?"

"Rescued? It's ridiculous, it's just that you've been imprisoned in another place, can it be that you can single-handedly repel all those outsiders? Will you be able to resurrect all these dead?! King Nathan's voice sounded a little grumpy.

"Actually, I can do both of the things you just said." Zheng Shu touched his chin and confirmed again, "Well, that's right, the two things you said are not difficult, I can do them." ”

"What?"

King Nathan was a little stunned, and at this moment she even wondered if the other party had a problem with his brain because he had been locked up in Heaven for too long.

"It's easy for me to repel these outsiders in your mouth, and if I want to do it forever, it's not even a problem to wipe out their entire power. As for raising up the dead...... There are a lot of people, but it's only a little troublesome. ”

Zheng Shu looked down at King Nathan: "I can do the previous thing immediately, so there is no need to lie to you."

As for the latter condition, to be honest, the information should have been gradually passed on by now, so you should know it just by going through the information a little bit with the outside......"

"Resurrection circle?" King Nathan suddenly remembered the one he had obtained some time ago, and it sounded like a message that would only come back after the intelligence officer had drunk too much.

"Yes, I am the creator of the Resurrection Circle. So if you need to, I'll do both of those things for you. ”

"Then you ......"

This time it was not only King Nathan, but even Yelena, who was still vomiting blood behind Zheng Shu, had a glint of hope in her eyes.

"But, I refuse!" Zheng Shu suddenly spread his hands.

"Huh?"

"I do owe that Nathanway a favor, and those two things are really easy for me. But! It's only Nathanwei who I owe a favor, and you're just a subject of a commission.

Because you just treated me badly, I wasn't in a good mood either, so I decided to choose the easiest way. ”

Zheng Shu showed a rather cheerful smile at King Nathan, but in the eyes of King Nathan, this smile seemed so "vicious".

"You...... You ......"

King Nathan opened his mouth, as if trying to refute something.

In fact, she can refute a lot of points, even as a Nathan King who is not good at negotiating with people, she can think of many kinds in a moment, but after hesitating twice, this Nathan King gave up struggling, because she figured out another thing.

In the current situation, the other party is absolutely strong.

If there is a person in this world who knows how much the strong can do whatever they want to the weak, King Nathan is definitely this person.

No matter what she says now, it doesn't make sense, because the other party has completely made up his mind.

She neither has enough strength, nor does she have enough strength to stand for the other party to change this decision.

"It seems that you have understood, and that really saves me peace of mind."

Zheng Shu patted King Nathan on the shoulder, walked past the little girl who was kneeling on the ground, and walked towards the tree behind her.

"You...... What are you going to do? ”

Although she asked, King Nathan's eyes had a slight expectation in her eyes, and even her nervous lips were a little dry as she watched Zheng Shu stand next to the tree and stroke the trunk.

"Fulfill the promise, there are two things that the old lady asked me to help do, one is to save you, and the other is to free you from 'imprisonment'."

Zheng Shu felt the bark in his hand, which was not much different from that of an ordinary tree, and reached out and knocked on the trunk again, listening to the echo inside, and answering King Nathan's question in a natural voice.

"That's not imprisonment! I volunteered! ”

"What do you think about my?"

Zheng Shu glanced at King Nathan, in terms of age, the other party was just a little girl, in the original book, she should have been recognized as the king by the tree at a very young age.

This situation of hers is very familiar to Zheng Shu, because when he was in the Moon World, he had also come into contact with the same people.

"King Arthur...... In this respect, the two of you are really the same. ”

"What?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little emotional. Ah, by the way......" Zheng Shu suddenly turned his head and looked at King Nathan with a playful smile.

"If you're planning to kill myself after I destroy this trunk to get the Golden Bough as a candidate for kingship, and make me king of Nathan Island, so that I can protect the island, then you're thinking a little too much."

“!!!”

King Nathan's eyes twitched for a moment, but she didn't speak, just fell to her knees in silence, as if to show her resistance.

Zheng Shu smiled wickedly, turned his head and continued to carefully probe the composition of the tree with his spiritual power.

In the face of this almost humiliating investigation, the tree naturally erupted with terrifying power to resist.

Although the power of this tree in the material world is quite weak, in the spiritual world, this tree is extremely powerful, because it represents the combination of the spiritual power of the kings and guards on Nathan Island in the past generations.

"Not bad, but it's still a little bit off."

Zheng Shu shook his head, and the surging spiritual power like an endless abyss was immediately pressed, directly crushing the last resistance of the tree, exposing the core of the tree that had ruled Nathan Island for thousands of years in front of his eyes.

"Interesting, pretty good idea."

Zheng Shu looked at the ever-changing energy structure and various strange rune arrays at the core of the tree, his eyelids drooped, and he couldn't see any expression.

"But it was too advanced for the level of technology of mankind at that time."

After sighing, Zheng Shu casually raised his hand back, and the invisible force lifted King Nathan and Yelena, who were slumped on the ground behind him.
