But for some reason, there was still a voice that said this in the depths of my heart.

He won't be deceived.

"There is nothing toxic in the mist, and it is not an energy, and the feeling of divine power is still unobstructed, and we are still in place...... So be careful not to get too far away from me, as Yugathira may be using this fog as a cover to sneak up on us. We'd better go a little higher......"

Edward said. But in the end, it stopped. He sighed slightly, stretched out his hand, and the rocks on the ground surged like mud, forming a hemispherical improvised house that enveloped the unconscious elves

Just for comfort......

"Thank you......" Elena's voice was soft, although she also knew that this kind of protection was better than nothing for the threat that the World Tree might pose, but in a situation like this, this was already the greatest help that Edward could give these people.

For this person.

"Your Excellency Edward, you really have a lot of leisure......"

The enchanting laughter came with the wind, and the figure of Glesia also stepped into a pale blue luster, and the devil's princess seemed to look around as if nothing had happened, and the third lord, Maman, had turned into the little snake on her ankle again. "What are we going to do next?" her bright red eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the fog around her: "I think I have two very unfortunate news here that I should tell you first, these fogs are quite strange, and I can't seem to contact my father now." ”

Edward was only slightly bowed. Ignoring the deliberate clasp in her words.

- In less than three breaths, Her Royal Highness the princess really couldn't bear it anymore, and automatically and consciously revealed the puzzle: "There is still a trouble." I can't get out of it up or down, left or right, although the good news is that I can now use teleportation...... We seem to be trapped in this fog. ”

"Let's say something useful. Edward waited quietly for her to finish, then sarcastically. "Except that I couldn't get out, I didn't hear anything about it at all. ”

"Ah, yes, I want to think about it......"

Grathia pouted. Then he tilted his head to reveal a pensive look...... However, in the next moment, her lustful gull flickered, and a black chain had silently passed through the space around her. Then with a fierce wind, it suddenly descended on Edward's head!

At the end of the chain, a stabbing hammer the size of a human head had been hung at some point! A sharp cold light flashed, flashing sharp edges in the space! It's enough to make people feel 'pain'...... But the Psychic Warlock didn't even look at it.

In the red eyes of the devil princess. The smug luster was suddenly replaced by surprise - when the hammer smashed straight into the top of the 'Psychic Warlock's head, she was shocked to find that there was no human figure there from beginning to end! And a cold touch slowly spread over the back of her neck, causing Glesia's body to shake! The enemy had silently arrived behind her, and a cold metal was rightly placed on her neck!

"Next time, I'll use Elena's Holy Flame. The man's voice was ethereal. It seems to be close at hand, but it seems to be far away. The cold touch then faded......

"Oh, Lord Edward, you seem to be too nervous, it's just a lady's joke...... Besides, how do I know you're not the one the tree made to trick us if you don't try?" Grasia slowly turned her head, the smile on her face not diminishing, "And in this way, you should also know that I am not pretending, Lord Edward." But what should we do next?"

What to do?

Now it can almost be said that this matter has been smashed...... At least half, whatever Edward's original plans were, had been ruined by the World Tree's overreaction. The most straightforward reaction now should be to break through this encirclement as much as possible, leave the area, and then think about the next thing -

Edward didn't know what the normalcy of the World Tree looked like, but he was now sure that the tree wasn't so normal - the villages and towns that had been smashed for no reason and the elves that had become pulp were the best proof of this, and although things seemed to have eased a little now, it was impossible to think that this was the end of the day.

But how to get out?

"Actually, it seems that there is no problem with this fog getting in, and if we use something as a standard, it won't be difficult to leave, right?" Glasia said with great interest, "I remember that this place is not too far from the edge of the town, maybe we can rush forward." ”

"This fog cannot be penetrated even by my holy flames, and it is very dangerous to enter it. ”

Elena shook her head, "And, even if we were able to pass through it, many of the branches and leaves of His Majesty Yugathira would still stretch out at the edge of the town, and I'm afraid I'm not sure if I would have to fight in this fog." ”

The golden flames surrounding the female paladin's body had now converged, and only a layer was left around her body—the sword that had just cut off Yugathira's clone was not completely lossless for her...... The power of the Holy Flame was the power she had borrowed from Ariel, and now that the Blazing Acolyte had lost the protection of the gods, it had lost its endless flow.

"Why, this is scared? Speaking of which, if it weren't for the sword you just had, how could we be trapped in this kind of thing?" Gracia smiled: "Well, anyway, we have to leave as much as possible, and I'll open the way, so that if something goes wrong, I can delay for a while, Lord Edward, how about you and this young lady Paladin take the opportunity to rush out and join your father?"

For this seemingly 'kind' Jianyì, Edward only gave a big roll of his eyes.

The devil can never have any good intentions, so at this moment, this devil princess is simply talking nonsense,

Although Edward could sense that there was no particular danger in the fog. But he was also not 100% sure that his feelings were correct—after all, the mist was emitted by the juices of Yugathira, and it could be said that it was a part of her body, and it must have been controlled in some way. At the very least, it was already possible to block the inductive connection between Glacia and Asmodeus. Therefore, no one can guarantee how strong this control is. And. Will it be bigger?

Even if it couldn't crush the people in it to death, what if it could interfere with pure perception and allow the branches of the World Tree to sneak up on it?

As for the 'brave' mention of her Grasia walking in front - don't forget that the Sixth Lord is just a clone of a trace of strength, and if she dies, Glesia herself will only be a momentary itch, so why wouldn't she be happy to let Edward run to confront the World Tree head-on?

And, Edward's gaze. He didn't ignore the third lord who was wrapped around the legs of Her Royal Highness the princess at the moment. Compared to a moment ago, his strength had been reduced by at least half or more, obviously. In the blink of an eye, they must have tried something, and they failed—it was possible that they were only attacked by Yugathira, but it was also possible. It's what happened to me when I broke into the fog.

Now I can try to break through. It seems that there is only above.

But it was as if someone had overheard his thoughts, and as soon as the thought emerged from his thoughts, a subtle 'chirp' sound came from the fog around him...... Edward subconsciously raised his gaze, and suddenly saw a haze rising from the dense fog above his head—round shadows like large leaves were emerging in the depths of the fog, and in the blink of an eye, they converged into a deep darkness!

It's really completely blocked...... Can you only break through?

"Ah......h

Elena's small voice narrowed his gaze slightly, and then he noticed that a path was unfolding in front of him......

The shadows in the sky were expanding, and the light around them was darkening at an accelerated pace. It's as if the fog is constantly absorbing moisture, gradually turning into the thick clouds that precede a storm. But another light unfolded before his eyes—a transparent mist slowly swirled and receded in that direction, revealing the crumbling ruins beneath it, and a passage more than a hundred feet wide slowly took shape in it, and the thick blue-white on both sides of the passage suddenly looked like glowing walls, but at the end of the sight, it was still shrouded in a vast mist.

This is the will of Yugathira...... Is it?

Edward let out a soft sneer, "It seems that we may be going to meet the will of the World Tree." ”

The long passage seemed to open up from the sea of clouds, and the surrounding qiē was covered by the white mist with a faint cyan color, but under the deep thick fog, it seemed to be no different from the ground, and the slight sound of stepping on it was crisp and subtle, and as people moved forward, the surroundings became quieter and quieter, as if even the sound of the wind was silent. So the subtle sound surrounded my ears, and slowly, it blended with the sound of the heartbeat. In front of him, there was only the retreating wall of clouds and mist, and the blue and white swirling water, which made people's eyes unable to gather, and after looking at it for a little longer, they would feel a pain in their heads.

"I said, 'Is it really okay for us to go in like this?' not to be led between the branches of this tree, right?"

The abandonment of the slow way of flying was obviously not in line with Glesia's wishes, so after walking for a while, the devil's princess began to get bored, and she quickened her pace slightly, and circled back and forth in front of and behind Edward...... Until she was sure that the other party was not interested in talking to her at all, she finally broke the silence first: "What if this tree is like those scavenging plants, no, it has already eaten all those elves......

"Grasia ...... How could His Majesty Yugathira eat people?"

Edward still didn't speak, but Elena couldn't help but frown—although she didn't actually intend to respond to the Great Devil's words, the palpitating silence around her made her instinctively want to say something.

But even when she opened her mouth to refute, her gaze couldn't help but subconsciously glance around...... After the inexplicable and brutal battle before, Yugathira's cruel appearance and powerful power have overturned the original established perception of the World Tree in her heart. And once a certain idea is provoked in the heart, associations will involuntarily follow. This is a certain human instinct that cannot be suppressed, no matter how resolute it is.

"If you really want to eat people, do you need to do it now?

Edward reached out and took Elena's palm. Showing her a comforting smile: "If you really want to do it, this ground is the biggest weakness, I don't know what this majesty plans to do, but the ground has always been the branch of the World Tree, then it means that she does not intend to be our enemy now." ”

Of course, this is just a consolation. After all, there are hundreds of millions of branches and leaves of the World Tree, and if she really plans to go to war, lose some of them to guide these people into the place where the branches and leaves are flourishing. It's also a simple but effective strategy.

So in fact, Edward himself was not without a little panic.

If it's just Yugathira, there's really nothing to be afraid of. The existence of this World Tree is certainly powerful. But there were no rumors of interfering in other planes - as a tree, she couldn't have any ambition or anything like that, and now that she had been injured in the battle, as long as she wasn't given too much stimulation, she shouldn't have provoked a violent backlash.

But who is the leader of this tree's anomaly just now? If there is anything else that is manipulating this qiē, will Yugathira's actions at this moment contain a deeper purpose?

It has to be said that most of human fears come from the unknown. So this kind of white and silent fog is really a bit unpleasant. In fact, if you do come up with a few 'triangular heads with chainsaws' or something, maybe it will make people feel a little calmer?

Thinking about these strange thoughts, Edward blinked, and suddenly felt the light around him gradually become brighter again.

The fog has thinned.

The smooth, flat wood of the ground gradually revealed itself among the mist, and the moss and tiny shrubs that clinged to the branches around them began to show themselves, and the wisps of white mist retreated through the verdant colors, and the wind seemed to sound rhythmically again, mixed with the subtle rustling of the leaves.

Was it just to get the rest of me out of the place? But it didn't seem to take long from the beginning of the walk to now?

He narrowed his eyes, and in his silver gaze, a verdant color was reflected, which was a stone spring water platform that extended down from above, cascading on top of each other...... No, the cascading pedestals are all made of wood, but there is a clear spring that flows during the process.

The white mist around it did not dissipate, but retreated farther into view, revealing the wooden pedestal in the center, and the light of the sky poured over the pedestal through the shade of the trees overhead, and the sprayed spring water made a faint rainbow hang on the glittering spring water, and then trickled down the surface of the smooth, colorful wood tumors that had been washed away to the lower ground, and converged at the bottom to form a small pool of crystal clear bottom. The subtle water vapor slowly rises from the surface of the pool, making the surrounding qiē feel like a painting.

"What a beautiful ......" Elena's eyes were drawn to the gushing spring water for a moment, and her long eyelashes twitched for a moment, and then she couldn't help but let out such an exclamation.

The paladin subconsciously stepped forward, as if to lean down to pick up a handful of clear spring water, but a slightly shrill mocking voice behind her stopped her from doing so—"Don't touch anything you don't know, because you'll never think you'll lose anything from it." Gracia sarcastically said, "Of course, this kind of rules for walking in the plane may not all need to be followed, for the strong, it is just a breath of fresh air." ”

The mocking reminder made Elena stop abruptly...... It also made Edward squint his eyes slightly.

He was not surprised that the devil princess would speak out to warn a paladin to be careful...... Glesia's heart has obviously entered a very high level of vigilance, although Elena is incompatible with her in terms of physique, but at least with the help of Edward's intermediary, it can barely be regarded as a combat power that can be compared with her all the way. So now, she must unite this accomplice who can at least cause harm to Yugathira's clone.

Because Yugathira has come to the eyes of the three of them.

The figure of the woman rose from the trees as before, only this time, instead of appearing aggressively, but on the side of the spring a little farther away, she slowly raised her gaze and walked slowly in the direction of the three of them.

It's still the same woman who can't tell her age, but this avatar is many times more elaborate than those rough combatants...... The slightly textured dress on her body was soft and smooth, slightly wrinkled with her curling figure, making it almost impossible to believe that it was a whole piece of wood that was constantly fluctuating, and a few steps forward, she stared a few feet in front of the three of them, her gaze swept over the three figures in turn, and then stopped on the black robe:

"Hello, traveler from afar. ”

Edward narrowed his eyes and met the will avatar of the World Tree, his grayish-brown but jewel-like eyes clear as water, without the slightest frenzy. So he also lowered his head slightly, reached out to touch his chest, and made a simple etiquette. (To be continued......)
