This place is very different from other places, although the whole tree is pitch black, but there is an unknown glow of green light covering the trunk, which looks very strange.

There is not a single evil spirit around the tree, and it seems that this is a forbidden area for them.

The big tree is more than ten meters high, and its sinuous branches are entangled, and in the glowing green light, it is as mad as the tentacles of demons.

Not a single leaf exists on the entire tree.

However, near the lower branches of the trunk, there were many dark fruits, from which Lilith must have plucked Lance's hunger and thirst.

Lance looked at the tree from afar, and did not continue to step forward, because he had already felt the evil aura emanating from under the tree.

This aura is exactly the same as the aura on Lilith's body, but it is much stronger than the aura on Lilith's body.

And in this breath, there is also a gentle life energy.

A force of evil, a force of life.

Two energies that should not coexist, I can't imagine that they can coexist with each other on a big tree, and I have to sigh at the wonder of the world.

"Let's go, Lance, I'll live there. ”

Lilith pointed to a hole in the tree and said to Lance, who had stopped and looked at the tree from afar.

Following the direction that Lilith pointed, Lance had also noticed the tree hole, but what Lance was staring at was not the tree hole, but a sealing magic array formed by several fist-sized pieces of dark jade around the tree hole.

But strangely, Lance didn't feel any flow and fluctuation of magical energy from these jades.

This made Lance even more curious.

"Lilith, there's a sealing magic array there, can you tell me what's going on?"

Lance said to Lilith with a frown.

Immediately, he summoned the sword of Sohana, and at the same time, he also activated the power of the dark golden godhead out of his body.

Seeing that Lance looked like he was facing a great enemy, Lilith hurriedly said: "That magic array has been there since I was conscious, but it has never run, and I have tried to destroy it, but I can't do it at all, it seems that there is some power protecting it." ”

"We're going out, I think we have to start here, you wait for me here, I'll go and have a look. ”

Without waiting for Lilith to reply, Lance had already walked cautiously over.

When he tiptoed close to the magic array, the magic array, which was originally unusual, suddenly lit up with a dark golden six-pointed star pattern with a diameter of five meters around the big tree.

This sudden change startled Lance, but the energy emitted from this dark golden six-pointed star actually had some kind of inexplicable connection with the power of the dark golden godhead on Lance's body, and it seemed that the lit six-pointed star was calling Lance.

Suddenly, in the six-pointed star, a black shadow that exuded a black evil aura gradually appeared.

Although the face is not clear, judging from the form of the black shadow, this black shadow seems to be a woman.

Just as Lance was considering whether to go back, the darkness spoke, "I was a little surprised that no one would activate this magic array. ”

Sure enough, just as Lance had guessed, the shadow was a woman.

There is infinite loneliness and vicissitudes in the woman's voice, it feels far away, and it feels close at hand.

This ephemeral feeling fell to Lance's ears as if centuries had passed.

"Who are you?"

Lance asked, standing outside the lit six-pointed star.

He wielded the sword of Sohana, guarding the woman.

Although she did not show any hostility, the evil aura she exuded was real.

"You won't know who I am, and I don't know why your arrival activated this magic circle, but I can tell you that the person who sealed me here told me that when this magic circle lights up, the last wisp of my soul will be completely gone. ”

Listening to the woman's story, Lance had already guessed that this was the sealed demon.

But strangely, the woman's calmness was beyond Lance's expectations.

It was as if her remnant was gone, as if it had nothing to do with herself.

Just as Lance was about to speak, the woman walked slowly and calmly to the edge of the six-pointed star, and continued to Lance through an invisible barrier: "I don't remember much about the past, but I want to tell you, young man, not all demons in the world are evil, good and evil are just a shackle that controls the morality of living beings, it imprisons the world's ideas, and also imprisons everything about me. ”

There was no joy or anger in the woman's voice, but her words made Lance fall into deep thought.

He had never thought about such philosophical questions.

After a moment of silence, the woman chuckled, and then continued to say to Lance: "You already have some of my power in your body, and I asked Lilith to give you those fruits on purpose, I hope you can make good use of them." Protect her, she's been in this dark abyss long enough, it's time for me to get out and see what the world has become. ”

"I promise you that in the name of my sword, I will protect her. ”

Lance didn't know why, so he agreed without thinking.

Even without the woman's explanation, Lance decided to do so, because after all this time together, he already had a different feeling for Lilith, a feeling of wanting to protect her.

Seeing that Lance was very serious, the woman nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, this sealing magic array has been activated, it won't be long before the sealing barrier between here and the outside world will disappear, the last thing I can do is to turn the evil spirits full of resentment here into the nourishment of this bitter oak tree, you can go, you don't need to ask who I am, I'm afraid no one in this world will know who I am for a long time!"

When the woman had finished speaking, she spread her hands and began to chant a spell that Lance did not understand at all.

As the chanting began, a dark spatial crack suddenly appeared in the canopy of the bitter oak tree.

The moment the crack appeared, no matter where the evil spirits were in the abyss underground, they were sucked in by this spatial crack.

Suddenly, in the entire underground space, ghosts cried wolves, and the yin wind was rising, which was extremely terrifying.

When he realized that something was wrong, Lance hurriedly looked back at Lilith, but he saw that Lilith had passed out and fallen unconscious.

In a hurry, Lance didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly ran over to pick up the unconscious Lilith and put her in his arms to quickly check her condition.

After briefly checking his snort and heartbeat, and making sure that Lilith was okay for the time being, Lance was relieved.

I'm afraid this woman didn't want Lilith to see the scene just now!

I don't know what kind of relationship there is between the two.

When Lance held Lilith in his arms, the woman's chanting had already ended, and the dark spatial crack also attracted the evil spirits in the entire underground abyss.

Just as Lance looked towards the woman's position meaningfully, the woman also looked at Lance through the light of the six-pointed star.

She didn't speak, just waved at Lance with the help of a faint light.

In the distance, Lance couldn't see the woman's expression clearly, but he could see the relief from the woman's gestures.

Yes, maybe disappearing completely is the real relief.

Suddenly, there was a violent vibration from Lance's feet, and he was caught off guard, and Lance, who was holding Lilith, shook his feet and almost lost his footing.

An even stronger tremor followed.

"Oops, it's an earthquake. ”

As soon as Lance's thought came to mind, the ground of the abyss began to rise and fall violently, and cracks began to appear in some places.

From time to time, flames and magma erupt from the cracks.

A heat wave erupted from the cracks, causing the temperature in the cold underground cavern to rise instantly.

At this time, the bitter oak tree was like an island in flames, still emitting a glowing green light, and Lance knew that sooner or later it would be completely engulfed by the flames that came out of the ground.

At that moment, there was a rumbling sound above the underground cavern, followed by the cracking sound of tooth-aching boulders, and then the continuous fall of rubble from the darkness with no ceiling in sight.

Obviously, the underground cavern is about to collapse completely.

In desperation, Lance hurriedly put Lilith on his back, and his steps were like flying, and he quickly moved through the ground that was constantly spewing flames, dodging falling rubble and the ground where magma could appear at any time.

At some point, the unconscious Lilith had woken up, and seeing the situation in front of her, she hurriedly asked Lance in a very weak voice, "Is this ...... What's going on here? I just ......."

Lance leaped again, dodging a large falling boulder.

Hearing Lilith's question, Lance didn't have the energy to answer her question, and now he had to find a way out first.

Even if he has broken through to the high-level realm and has the power of the godhead to protect his body, but in the face of the underground magma in nature, which has absolute destructive power, Lance's ability is simply not enough.

Just as Lance was about to fall into a desperate situation, he saw that the bitter oak tree was engulfed by flames at the moment, and a faint dark green phantom floated out of it, quickly drifting away in one direction.

And at this moment, the woman's voice sounded in Lance's head again: "Follow my guidance, you will soon be able to get out of the abyss, goodbye, stranger, goodbye, Lilith!"

The woman's voice floated in Lance's head, and it was probably the woman who used the last bit of remnant soul to guide Lance and them to a path of life.

"Hold on!"

Lance dodged and quickly said to Lilith.

Then Lance excites the power of the dark golden godhead in his body and the wind element in the heart of magic with all his strength, and suddenly Lance's speed doubles, and he quickly skims away in the direction guided by the dark green phantom.

I have to say that after Lance broke through the realm level, both speed and reaction were much stronger than before.

But even so, with the full strength of Lance, he could only barely keep up with the phantom.

With the guidance of the phantom, Lance, who is carrying Lilith on his back, will no longer blindly waste time and energy.

Finally, with the full strength of Lance, after about half an hour, he finally reached a hidden cave in the abyss underground.
