It was a strange place, except for the huge tree, which was instantly recognizable from a distance, there was not a single tall plant on the hill, only a few low grasses and stones.

After walking a little further, a few hundred meters away from the hill, Luo Xian's "clay pot" was no longer willing to move forward, no matter how Luo Xian urged, he was walking in circles in place, not moving a meter in the direction of the hill.

"Don't force it, it seems that the village chief's words are true, there must be something evil under the hill. Horses are very intelligent animals and are able to sense this threat. After all, it was only a role of pulling goods and driving before, and it had never even been on the battlefield, so it was right to be afraid of this hidden bloody atmosphere. Hehe, there are very few horses that can compare to my 'turnip'. Geralt turned over and dismounted, and while tidying up his outfit, he also patted the "radish" that seemed very stable at the moment, and the more critical the moment, the more he could earn face for himself in front of his friends.

Don't look at Jeralt's age of almost a hundred years old, in fact, in the circle of demon hunters, he is still a hairy young man who has just left the castle, and likes to make some irrelevant jokes with friends, so he naturally has a heart of comparison.

In the face of the mysterious visitor from the other world, Geralt is happy that in addition to his knowledge of local customs, Geralt finally has a mount stronger than Luo Xian.

Luo Xian also dismounted, there was no way, he could inject the soul of the beast into the condensed void form, but the beast is a beast after all, the battle and some simple instructions are okay, the soul that can communicate with himself and can fully understand his own meaning, then it is a monster, and he has not encountered it for the time being.

This is what Master said about the opportunity that has not yet come.

"'Carrot' is a good horse, and my 'crockpot' can't compare, I admit that. "It's not as generous as admitting defeat, on this, the former warrior Luo Xian has a very good personality, and he has to do his best to do things, those things that are beyond his own ability, you still bite and hold on, that's called ignorance of current affairs, no eyesight. Such a child would have been buried in the fire a long time ago.

Sacrifice and suicide are two different things.

"Good horses are very expensive, and they are not easy to find, and the very good and humane horses that have been trained are generally in the hands of the nobles, and no one wants to sell them, so it is not easy to see. If you really want a good horse, I can figure it out. Geralt explained that he felt that he should think about his friends, whether he was looking for old relationships, such as the Emperor.

"It's okay, I'll find another chance myself. Luo Xian didn't think about bothering Geralt, he had seen petrified chickens and snakes, and he also learned from Geralt that there were behemoths like griffins in this world, so he thought about when to find a flying evil monster to kill, and then let the bear spirit in the white crow occupy the monster's body and turn the monster into his own mount.

When the time comes, you can still fly in the sky, wouldn't it be more handsome and convenient than running on the ground?

After packing up their horses, the two hiked up the hill.

Up close, I found that there were many white bones peeking out of the dark grass on the hill. In terms of the structure of the bones, there are human beings, but there are more animals such as cattle, sheep and red deer, and the remains of small animals such as rabbits and wolves and foxes are even more numerous.

When I got closer to the giant tree, I realized that it was a huge oak tree, and some strange branches hung from the tree, and under each branch hung a human skeleton. It seems that these are the villagers who came here because of sleepwalking and committed suicide according to the village chief.

Just as the two of them looked at the giant tree, a voice suddenly rose in Luo Xian's head, "Go away, stranger, don't come near here again." I know why you have come, my power is everywhere, and I have sensed your purpose from the moment you set foot on the ground beneath your feet. ”

Luo Xian and Geralt glanced at each other, and it seemed that the other party had received this inexplicable voice.

"We're here to talk to you about the situation in the village of Lower Valen. Geralt said, and the two of them continued to walk towards the bottom of the tree.

"Leave! Leave! Leave now! Otherwise, the powerful force protecting me will not show mercy!" the voice sounded in the heads of the two men again, only this time with a hint of threat.

However, this warning did not have any effect on the two, in order to get the news of the adopted daughter, not to mention the monster's lair, even if it was the dragon's lair, Geralt dared to enter it.

Halfway through the journey, I heard a few high-pitched howls, and more than a dozen giant wolves like calves appeared near the two of them, forming a siege momentum and rushing towards them.

It's just a pity that if it had been before, this kind of siege could still have been a bit of a threat to Geralt, after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and demon hunters who rely only on their bodies and swordsmanship are usually easy to die under the siege of wild beasts.

But now, Geralt, who has practiced the method of mental power warfare, can be said to have achieved no dead ends in battle.

The condensed spirit body in the back of his head allows Geralt to observe the battlefield from a godly perspective. Even if you close your eyes in battle, you can grasp every move of your opponent.

Therefore, the result was not surprising, more than a dozen raging wild wolves did not even support Geralt's first wave of attack, and they died under the rain of swords.

"It's a corpse wolf, not a real beast. Luo Xian bent down to examine the carcass of the wild wolf and immediately came to a conclusion.

The so-called corpse wolf is a recombination of dead wolf bones, wolf meat and wolf skin through the power of necromancy, combined into a wolf-like body that far exceeds the size and power of the previous life.

This kind of thing often has great toxicity and strength, and its own defense is not very high, but the teeth and claws, and even the internal organs that have long been decayed have strong toxicity, and once they are defeated, they will explode, which is often the end of the halberd and sinking into the sand for demon hunters who can only fight in close combat.

The buried monster under the hill only saw the two of them dressed as samurai, and they didn't seem to expect that they had special combat skills. It can actually condense the spiritual power into a tall human form, and through the human form to release a martial art like a spell, it can also achieve the general effect of weapon cutting.

Before more than a dozen corpse wolves could get close to the two of them, dozens of flying sword lights shot out within twenty meters were directly cut into pieces of the same size, which had no effect at all.

"Turn back, turn back, turn back, turn back at once!" the voice sounded again, only this time with a hint of anxiety.

"You show up, let's talk, and then leave. Geralt exclaimed.

"Go, go, go, get out of here!" the voice ignored Geralt's words.

"There's something wrong with that monster! It doesn't seem to be able to move, I guess it doesn't have a real body, or it would have come out to meet us. Luo leaned into Geralt's ear and whispered his guess.

"It is very likely that, according to my experience and the village chief's account, this monster woke up three years ago, and is still in the recovery period, and cannot do without the Murmur Hills, so it can only lure some low-level creatures to come and take their flesh and blood as their own nourishment. We move on, regardless of its warnings, and if it doesn't show up yet, then prove our guess right. It used to be terrible, but now it can't do anything about us. Geralt was an old man, and immediately came up with a solution.

"But be careful, it can also be a trap that paralyzes us and tempts us deeply. At the same time, Geralt did not forget to remind Luo Xian, but the pace under his feet did not stop at all.

The monster seemed to be very anxious, and kept urging the two to leave all the way, probably because he saw the battle situation of the corpse wolf before, and couldn't think of any other way for the two, so he didn't send any other attacks.

Approaching the giant tree, the two immediately felt that the source of the sound was under the giant tree, and after walking a few steps around the giant tree, they found that one side of the cliff was a cliff, and there was a cave more than a person high on the side wall of the cliff, and the sound seemed to come from inside.

The two immediately decided to enter the cave to find out.

As soon as you enter the cave, you can feel the sound of a heartbeat, and the huge echo echoes in the cave, as if a heavy drum is beating, "Knock knock ~ knock knock ~"

The cave descends all the way down into the ground, and the surrounding stone walls are full of roots and whiskers infiltrated by ancient oak trees, large and small, and intricately intertwined, and they are too many to count.

There are even roots that are thicker than a human waist, intertwined, firmly blocking a stone wall. The roots of the tree squirmed like pythons, and the inside seemed to be chewing and digesting something, and an unknown liquid flowed.

The two of them made a long circle around the cave, and except for a deep pool, the only target was the stone walls that were obscured by intertwined tree roots.

"There's a good chance the passage is right behind the rock wall, and the roots are trying to stop us. Geralt said, "But it didn't work. ”

Geralt said as the samurai condensed in the back of his head swung the long blade in his hand, sending out sword light and slicing through the roots of these buckets.

The roots of the tree were cut by the sword light, and a blood-colored liquid flowed out of it, but it was surprising. Instead of breaking, the severed roots grew rapidly, growing more and more thicker under the watering of the blood-colored liquid.

Geralt's brows furrowed, swordsmanship is useless, although this situation is the first time he has encountered it, but he has traveled and experienced him has other methods, since physical attacks are useless, then use fire.

Geralt motioned for Law to lean back, then pulled out a ball from his bag with strange runes on its surface.

"What is this?" Luo Xian asked curiously.

"Alchemy bombs, this kind of wind is called foehn, which can cause a wide range of flames to burn, and it is very expensive, and I am generally reluctant to use it. This one costs thousands of gold crowns, and those alchemists sold it too expensive, and we gave them all the money and materials we had worked so hard to kill the monsters. And they only need to do it at home to make this thing, so I said before that your petrified chicken snake is lost, that's why. ”

"Knowledge is power~" Luo Xian sighed, no matter where it is, the things made by using high technology are not cheap, it turns out that the other world has been able to apply magic to the military, and it can create something like a magic bomb, which is completely different from the Huaxia world.

The use of alchemy bombs is very similar to the explosive packs that Luo Xian saw in those anti-Japanese war-themed TV series, with a fuse, and it would be good to throw it away after igniting it.

It's just that it's not gunpowder that's working, it's an unknown potion in it.

Sure enough, there was no deafening explosion as expected, but a sound of a plastic bag cracking, and with a slight thud, the ball turned into powder and cracked.

A wide range of sparks followed.

It's a pity that these sparks fell on the intertwined roots, although the roots were broken a little, but the flames were quickly extinguished under the erosion of the liquid flowing in the roots, but this time, the recovery of the roots slowed down a little, which shows that the alchemy bomb is still useful.

"There's only one foehn left, and it seems that it still can't blow up these roots..."Alchemy bombs are expensive, even the veteran demon hunter Geralt doesn't always have a lot of them, and he only prepared two foehn bombs for fire attribute attacks, and he has already used up one.

Alchemists are not herb sorcerers, they usually live in big cities, because they are the only ones who have all the materials they need. The nearest big city is at least four days away, so there is a lot of time to lose.

Alchemy bombs are expensive, if you want to buy more, I'm afraid that with his net worth he can't afford it at all, those miser-like guys will never take credit.

Luo Xian carefully observed the situation of the roots of the tree on the side, thought about it, and said, "I think we may have walked into a misunderstanding, thinking that it is common sense that plants are afraid of fire. Obviously, this monster also knows this, and it fills the roots of plants with this unknown liquid, which not only extinguishes the flames, but also greatly promotes the growth of rhizomes, so the Foehn Bomb is not very effective. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

"There are pros and cons, this monster only thinks about how to prevent fire and prevent it from being cut off by weapons, but ignores another issue. Luo Xian smiled and said that he had a way in his heart.

"What's the problem?" Geralt was very impressed when he saw that Luo Xian could always come up with a solution at a critical moment, and he didn't know what kind of education could cultivate such a talent.

"The country I grew up in is called Huaxia, and she has given birth to a lot of ancient knowledge in her long history, among which there is one of the simplest principles of the five elements, and everything cannot escape this change. Luo Xian said simply.

Although Geralt heard vaguely, he did not interrupt Luo Xian's speech, which is a collision of different civilizations and has references.

"These roots belong to the two characteristics of water and wood in the knowledge of Huaxia, the roots are wood, and the liquid is water, just now you used swordsmanship to attack belongs to gold, and use alchemy bomb attack to belong to fire, and they can't work on them. ”

"Then there's no way?"

"No, they have a natural nemesis, and that's earth. Luo Xian said confidently.

Luo Xian said as he drew a simple diagram of the five elements on the ground of the cave, and put the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth on it.

Obviously, gold and fire are around Mizuki and connected to it, and Mizuki can coexist with each other, so Kaneki cannot break it. On the contrary, it is the soil, which is far away from the water and wood, and has become an important link.

Geralt frowned, listening to Luo Xian talk about the essence of knowledge from another world civilization, he didn't understand it very well, but he just felt that there was some truth.

"What should we do now?"

"It's very simple, just petrify these roots, and when the liquid condenses into a solid so that they no longer flow, and then it can be used to assist in swordsmanship or bombs, they will not be able to resist at all. Luo Xian's last words broke the puzzle.

Geralt suddenly realized, "Yes, we can't grab water with our bare hands, but we can move ice with our bare hands, this is the simplest wisdom!
