Time is of the essence.

With every minute that passes, the probability of the mother tree recovering is one point higher.

Lindsay didn't dare to delay for a moment, and her figure rushed forward like lightning, and then collided head-on with the growing thorns.

The meteorite dagger slashed in an instant.

"Don't get in the way!"

Click-

Lindsay frowned.

The flaming meteorite dagger slashed at the thorns, and suddenly there was a strong resistance.

He slashed with all his might, but he was able to cut it off.

But the thorns in front of you......

Lindsay looked forward, and in just a few breaths, the number and density of thorns were rising, and the spreading plant hell was like a green ocean rushing around.

Lindsay looked down at her hands again.

Even with a weapon in both hands, it is impossible to keep up with this exaggerated spread rate.

"Just passive defense is enough to give people a headache."

Lindsay shook her head slightly, and immediately changed her forward strategy.

He no longer tried to pass through the thorns, but jumped forward on the growing and spreading thorns, which inevitably caused him to be stabbed in the calf, but his speed increased a lot.

Thorn -

In just a few steps, the thorns suddenly wrapped around Lindsay's calf.

Lindsay swung his sword, and the meteorite dagger immediately cut it off, but the increasing resistance in his hand also illustrated a fact.

In order to protect the mother tree, the thorns are repelling all outsiders.

At this time, Lindsay, the only one who was still rushing in front of the tree mother, was unsurprisingly the target of their target.

"It's not going to go on like this!"

Lindsay's eyes froze, and there was a way in her mind.

He quickly swapped weapons and placed the meteorite dagger in the equipment slot, the ice badger mace in his hand.

In this way, the meteorite dagger can still restrain the flames and sharpness of the plants.

The huge size of the mace can sweep the thorns that are entwined in a large area, and the efficiency has suddenly increased several times!

Smack!

Lindsay's advance picked up again.

Every time the weapon in his hand was waved, a large number of thorns were broken by it, and it didn't take long for him to be just over twenty meters away from the mother tree.

Lindsay looked certain.

"It's coming soon...... Well? ”

At that moment, he paused again.

There are obstacles beyond the thorns!

In the distance, it looks like just a essentia storm that sets off an air current, and it is not a concept at all to come into contact with it!

The broken branches of the half-cut banyan forest on the chest of the mother tree are directing the flow of essency in the surrounding environment, repairing the mother's own defects as much as possible.

If divided in human ways.

As a member of the Grass and Tree Spirit line, she is also a user of the essence of life.

It just so happened that Lindsay herself used mainly life essence.

Under the interference of the same source, he even had a feeling that his power was uncontrollable, and his internal organs seemed to be disturbed!

"At this time, you can't back down."

Lindsay gritted her teeth.

Now that you have come to this position, you can't give up halfway no matter what.

He forcibly resisted the pain coming from his body, forced his legs, and continued to walk forward.

Twenty meters ...... Fifteen meters...... 10 meters ......

As the distance approaches, the effects of essentia storms become more exaggerated.

Lindsay felt like he was struggling with his will and body with every step, and the tiredness beat his spirit every moment, like a prey squeezed into a meat grinder.

"Whew-"

Lindsey took a deep breath and looked up.

As his physical strength and spirit reached the limit, his vision became blurred at the moment, and even the buff brought by the equipment could only allow him to see a vague silhouette.

"And ...... Five meters? ”

Syllable!

Suddenly, there was a support behind Lindsay.

"Let me just watch from behind, do you think it's possible?"

Red's voice sounded behind him at the same time, but Lindsay couldn't hear it clearly.

But he could also guess what this guy would say, and even wanted to complain:

"You guy, try it with my life essence......"

Lindsay was speechless.

Such an action drained him a lot of strength.

And behind him, compared to Lindsay's state, Red is actually a little better, she is not using life essence, even if she is also affected by the essentia storm around the tree mother, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as Lindsay.

At this moment, Red was standing behind Lindsay.

She stretched out her arms to protect Lindsay in front of her chest, and the two of them walked one after the other, like travelers struggling to move forward in a storm.

……

In the last five meters, the two walked for more than a minute.

Lindsay still felt the red behind him stop, only to suddenly realize that they had arrived at the place.

The two of them had launched an all-out attack, and before they could break through the Mother Tree's defenses, the weapon had been shattered.

But Lindsey had a very hard thing in her hands.

- Chalky Iron Dagger

This dagger is only strong enough to be commendable.

Most likely, it came from the hands of the powerful Awoken of the expedition from a hundred years ago.

Lindsey believes.

As long as the strength is sufficient, this weapon can definitely take on the heavy task of breaking through the defenses of the mother tree!

The only thing that can't be determined is whether his strength is enough, which is the only concern that he couldn't grasp before.

"Red!"

Lindsay shouted, and the girl's arms around him immediately guided his movements.

The chalky iron dagger slowly stabbed into the mother tree's chest.

Click-

There was a touch of hard iron on the wrist.

"Ahh

The essentia that Lindsey struggled to maintain was completely activated at this moment, allowing his explosive power to reach its limit.

At this time, the palm of Hong's hand holding his arms also transmitted force.

Lindsay couldn't tell if it was his own power or the power of red, but at this moment, the [Chalky Iron Dagger], which was almost indestructible, had indeed pierced something.

Stab!

When a wound appears, subsequent piercing becomes much smoother.

Click!

In the next second, the resistance in front of him dissipated instantly, and Lindsey and Red fell to the ground together.

Before the two of them had time to get up, a dazzling green light suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.

Lindsay, who uses the essence of life, feels especially clearly.

In front of them, the essentia that had just been condensed was freed, as if heaven and earth themselves had regained their breath.

【Essentia of Will】

[Stairway to Heaven (Statement of Pain/Joy)→ Second Ladder (Death Silence/Passion of Life)]

【Gamer Upgrades】

【Game Lovers (Phase 2) → Game Masters (Phase 3)】

[Module Slot: 2→3]

[RPG Level: 6] → [RPG Level: 7]

[RPG module to acquire a new skill - plot performance.] 】

Lindsay's properties panel began to swipe in an instant.

Choices in difficult situations, the will to challenge the limits, the joy of overcoming the strong, and the enthusiasm to regain the safety of life.

Finally let his will essence advance.

The death of a six-stage boss, the [RPG module] also deserves to increase the level.

But this 'challenge' is too outrageous.

So much so that instead of the joy of victory in Lindsay's mind, he thought of something else.

The life of the sixth stage is so strong.

Isn't that a bit excessive?
