Chapter 30: The Root Beard Elder
It's finally out!
Lindsey and Red quickly exchanged a look.
The two of them didn't have any conversation, and after their eyes met, they suddenly jumped away, and almost simultaneously grabbed their weapons and rushed to the location where the sound came from.
The glow of the meteorite weapon pierced the air.
While charging, they also saw each other's appearances.
It was a monster with a humanoid silhouette, but a body made of countless tiny tendrils, and its head had no organs, except for two orange-red spots of light that seemed to be its eyes.
"Wait, I have no ill will towards you!"
Finding Lindsey and Red rushing towards him.
The roots of the monster's face shook rapidly, making sounds, and that location seemed to be the vocal organs.
At the same time, the tendrils wrapped around its body also expanded and swung rapidly, forming huge bulges in both hands, intending to stop the two who rushed towards it.
But the two were lightning fast.
Tens of meters away, in the blink of an eye, the weapon also slashed at the expansion block it had just thrown out.
Rumble!
The moment it was touched, the gray-yellow roots were cut off by the meteorite weapon, and then ignited by the high temperature.
"Ahh
The one who appeared screamed in pain, and immediately fled backwards, his figure as fast as lightning.
It's a little clear.
With his own speed, I am afraid that before I have time to drill down to the ground, I will be killed by the other party immediately.
The only chance of life is the cliff behind it.
But Lindsay and Red, who have been sulking for two weeks, obviously can't let each other go so easily.
With a flick of his wrist, he turned the spear he was holding into a reverse grip stance when throwing, aimed it at the guy's back and threw it.
On the other side, Lindsey picked up speed at his feet.
But unlike Hong, the meteorite dagger in his hand suddenly burst out with a new layer of flames.
Lindsey activated the ability of the Emblem of Ice and Fire.
In the first encounter, the nature of the opponent's weak fire has been confirmed, and of course he must strengthen his advantages as much as possible.
Bang!
In the next second, a bang exploded in front of him.
The first is the red meteorite spear.
With the blessing of skill, the spear turns from one to five in the moment it shuttles through the air, and each locks on to the enemy's head, throat, heart and other deadly positions.
The five spears of fire were like lines of fire that crossed the air.
The distance of dozens of meters is instantaneous, and it is about to penetrate the body of this root-whisker monster in an instant.
The guy who fled in front of him also seemed to be aware of the danger of this attack.
It slammed its body down, and the ground beneath its feet suddenly dented, and the whole person was enveloped in an earthy yellow barrier.
Five spears that were differentiated.
Two of them fell short of height and then dissipated into the air, and the remaining three struck the barrier solidly, and the sound of explosions erupted from the collision of skills between the two sides.
In an instant, the earth and rocks were splashed, and the smoke and dust overflowed.
Between the lightning and the fire, the monster formed by the roots barely blocked the red spear.
It quickly tried to get up and run away, jumping into the cliff ahead.
But then came an even more dangerous opponent.
Lindsay's figure suddenly smashed through the dust and kicked the guy in the back.
It suddenly lost its balance and fell to the ground.
When it tried to climb to the cliff in front of it, a dagger with a double layer of flame was already hanging over its head.
Lindsay asked in an awe-inspiring tone:
"Tell me honestly, what is the purpose of you following us?"
ββ¦β¦β
Lindsay's original plan was to kill this guy immediately.
But caution in the fight made him change his mind.
On the map of the attribute panel, the monster that was kicked to the ground in front of me was not a hostile red, but a yellow that symbolized neutrality!
At this time, the root-bearded monster who was subdued by him also spoke:
"Humans, I'm just trying to stop you from killing yourself."
The other party's reminder did come from suddenness, but Lindsay couldn't believe it so simply:
"What do you mean - the guy who launched an attack before and then tracked us all the way here, actually came with good intentions?"
The Rootbeard Monster's tone was quite innocent:
"I didn't initiate the attack!"
"But you took the initiative to do both encounters?"
ββ¦β¦β
Lindsay thought about it and froze.
It seems that this is really the case!
Two weeks ago at the camp, the rock golem was just lurking above the camp and didn't attack directly. Instead, it was Red who wounded the opponent with a spear, which led to the subsequent battle.
As for this time, it's even simpler.
It was also this guy who took the initiative to show up and send out a reminder, so that Lindsay and Red would suddenly attack.
"Lindsay, why haven't you killed this guy yet?"
While Lindsay hesitated, Red from behind also caught up.
The girl pulled her spear from the shattered earth and stones, and she patted the barrel of the gun lightly, shaking off the dust that had stuck to it, and then she looked dangerously at the monster that was under control:
"Can you eat this thing? Do we have a new trick up the night? β
The root-whisker monster lying on the ground was a clever man, and it did not dare to struggle, but it still loudly defended itself:
"No, I can't eat it!"
"The human digestive system can't handle my body, you can't murder an intelligent life like this!"
Red stepped forward and stepped on the other party's head:
"Really? I don't believe it. β
"I'll cut off your hand first, and if you really can't eat it, then I'll kill you."
"Humans, my reminders are all kind." The roots of the monster's face trembled and began to squirm, and his voice was extremely aggrieved, "Why do you want to take revenge? β
The corners of the red mouth hooked up a sneer:
"If you mean well, you should be honest in the first place and talk to us."
The Rootbeard Monster is resonant about this:
"In the face of strangers, prudence is the premise of maintaining the safety of life."
Red raised the meteorite spear high, and the tip of the spear was immediately covered with bright flames.
"Then you can leave it untenable now."
The root-whisker monster's orange-red eyes were stunned, and he immediately softened:
"I can apologize to you!"
"I'm sorry, please forgive me for being cautious, I don't want to die yet!"
"Human, please let me go!"
Under the nervous gaze of the rootbeard monster, Red asked a somewhat inexplicable question:
"Then tell me, what am I going to eat tonight?"
ββ¦β¦β
The rootbeard monster was dumbfounded.
ββ¦β¦β
At the same time, looking at the conversation between Red and the Root Beard Monster, Lindsay inexplicably wanted to laugh, but he didn't want to break the current atmosphere, and he still looked indifferent on the surface.
Secretly, the hunting module was switched to the business module.
The product information is then revealed:
γPlant Spirit: Rootbeard Elderγ
[A essentia born from between the roots of the entwined plants, capable of casting earth and stone spells to manipulate plants to a certain extent; Due to the great reduction in the ability to break free from subordination, the ability has declined from stage 5 to stage 4; Higher wisdom is preserved. γ
[A betrayer, never popular in the market.] γ
Lindsay narrowed her eyes.
At this moment, the elder of the root beard is still changing his tricks and begging for mercy to Hong.
Apparently a desperate guy.
Under this premise, it risked its life and took the initiative to remind Lindsey and the two.
With this in mind, refer to the neutrality of the other party on the map.
Lindsey spoke:
"Listen, I have the ability to tell the difference between lies."
"I know you have no ill will towards us, but you don't tell the whole truth either. Because the purpose of your stopping us is not for our safety, and there are untold secrets in it. β
"Now be honest, and I'll spare your life."
Red responds to Lindsay's question almost simultaneously.
She gathered the light from the meteorite spear, but poked the tip of the spear into the other's head, a sinister smile on her face.
ββ¦β¦β
It's life danger again, and it's discerning lies.
The elder root beard really had no way to get out, so he had to explain honestly:
"You don't know that there is a dangerous creature inhabiting the mountains and forests ahead......
