Chapter 30: The Green Cave

In the center of Camp Five there was a half-plugged green cavern, and the closer you got to the cave, the stranger the land became.

The soil of the greenstone forest is basically composed of soft soil that can be dug by feet and green soft stones that will be left by sharp objects, those green stones have a certain magical nature, and it is very dangerous in the whole greenstone forest to fall into madness, so they are all cleared out of the camp, and the soil in the camp is slightly green soft soil.

But once you get close to the cave, the earth becomes elastic, it is difficult to leave a trace, and sometimes it even pulsates slightly, like a living thing.

When you enter the cave, you will find that it is overgrown with "trees" made entirely of green jade growing on the moving ground, as if the gods had created the cave by mistakenly making the materials of the land and trees, and occasionally green magic will pierce the air like lightning.

The clown hugged the battalion commander's neck again and said happily: "Obviously, I said before that there would be no temporary commission, Mr. Battalion Commander, you are really dishonest~"

The battalion commander said angrily: "It was originally the job of the mages to suppress this, but thanks to someone, several mages were overloaded because of the idea of the maze technique, and now they have to send people down to destroy it directly to continue to suppress it." ”

The clown was surprised: "Oh, are the people here so stressed? Why don't you come and see my circus more and relax? Now I can perform for free!"

In order to prevent the battalion commander from losing control of his emotions, Roth hurriedly asked, "Mr. battalion commander, can you please tell us what is inside this cave?"

"This was originally a control node in the Greenstone Forest, but now it's just a runaway cave. It wasn't the battalion commander who answered Rot's question, but an elven priest who looked bulging in clothes that came up halfway, "Just look at the feet and those strange trees, because of the overly rough purification method, the land has turned into trees, and the trees have turned into stones, how can there be such a control node Greenstone Forest not go crazy." ”

Lista cut a gap in the ground with his sword, and wondered, "It really feels like wood...... Uh-huh, it's still growing! Does filth still have this ability?"

"So you humans ......," the elven priest sighed, "this kind of thing has happened many times before, and the filth is not so kind to keep the things it has eroded intact when it is removed, so purifying the world will be a slow process now!"

Previously...... Who knows when you said it earlier.

After complaining in his heart, Roth suddenly had a question: "Since an ordinary node on the periphery has become like this, why is the elven royal family in a hurry to enter?

The Elven Priest scolded, "This is not something you should be concerned about!"

Roth didn't ask, such a person who is both an elf and a priest must have a special identity, and his attitude of not wanting to answer is already an answer.

Lista walked to a pair of branches that were constantly interacting with green magic while the two were talking, and deliberately touched the green magic flow with his long sword, and the twisted and stiff roots grew out of thin air, trying to entangle the sword in his hand, and Lista quickly shook the roots away with his fighting spirit and pulled the sword back.

The escaping fighting spirit and magic continued to conflict, and finally the magic power turned out to be a half-wood and half-stone tree spirit, Lista took another sword from behind his back and chopped the newborn tree spirit, and then looked at the long sword that was entangled in the roots of the tree before and exclaimed in pain: "Flying star!"

I saw that the place where the sword had touched the flow of magic before was dyed a little green, and even if I drove the fighting spirit, I couldn't get rid of that color.

Before Roth had a chance to care about Lista, the Joker preemptively asked, "Flying Star, is the name of your sword?"

Lista was distressed and ashamed, and regretted why he was cheap, and said, "Ahem, well, it's me, I started it myself." ”

He also said that most of his net worth is on two swords, and it is nothing to name it, and Roth wanted to talk to him like this, but the Joker didn't give Roth a chance to interject.

"What about the other sword, the other sword?"

“...... Skyfire. ”

"Are they all another name for shooting stars?" asked the clown.

The battalion commander found that if he didn't speak, these people would be able to grind at the door, so he interrupted the question and answer: "You have time to exchange feelings! I have limited time, I will only say the content of this temporary commission once, and you are responsible for hearing it!"

He then stretched out his right hand and pointed at the elven priest and said, "You go down with Mr. McTwinkin, the magical products you encounter along the way must be destroyed, and when you reach the depths, you should see the core of this node, and then Mr. McTzykin will tell you what to do next! ”

Roth looked at the back of the battalion commander as he turned to leave, and thought to himself, "You didn't say anything important?"

I don't know why this leader is delaying for a while......

"Is it really okay to destroy this Control Node?" Roth asked the elven priest named McTiffin.

McZekin looked at the inside of the cave with mixed emotions and said: "The control nodes have the ability to regenerate themselves, and the erosion of filth has destroyed many things, but it has not destroyed this function. It's just that the nodes after regeneration are still chaotic, and the process of regeneration will also absorb the surrounding magic power, affecting the operation of the magic circle in the camp, so we chose to temporarily suppress it instead of destroying it repeatedly. ”

Speaking of this, McTiffin glared at the innocent clown: "If it weren't for the unnecessary pressure you brought to the mages, things wouldn't have been so troublesome!"

He was much more rigid than the battalion commander.

The clown apologized honestly: "Ah, I'm sorry, it's my first time with this kind of entertainment technology that can create mazes out of thin air, and I've gone a little too far." But I didn't pester everyone to play with me!"

McTsikin hesitated to tell him that the maze was not a recreational spell, but gave up.

Lista had been tossing his Flying Star Sword over there, and found that the green color had faded a little under the washing of the fighting spirit, so he relaxed a little, looked back at Zhang Luan and Nina, and asked McTinkin: "Don't bring the two children over there, right?"

"Aren't you on a team?"

"It's a temporary team of guild matches. Lista shook her head and said, "This cave isn't safe, is it? ”

Zhang Luan was dissatisfied: "I don't feel tired, it's just inexperienced!"

Nina started pulling him again.

McTwinkin said, "I don't care, you can get things done with me." ”

The clown then patted the two children on the shoulder and said, "Then please take care of the house, and wait for us to come back." ”

Being slapped by him, Zhang Luan couldn't say what he wanted to say, so he could only watch as the other four disappeared into the depths of the cave while destroying the jade tree.

Zhang Luan felt that his strength was not recognized, and he became depressed, and said to Nina: "You go back to the tent first, I'm going to wait here for them to come out!"

What are they waiting for them to come out? He didn't know, but he just thought it was better than being an honest housekeeper.

Nina whispered comfortingly, "When we grow up, we will definitely not lose to them...... Well, not including weirdos. ”

Then she waved her hand at him and slowly walked in the direction of the tent.

When the girl's figure was far away, the clown's voice suddenly sounded behind the boy: "Hey, young man, I have something to ask you~~"

McTsikin looked at the Joker's "fighting" style, and his brow furrowed like an iron lock.

I saw that the clown had many clones, and one of them accidentally touched the magic stream and turned into a cedar tree full of strange ribbons and bells, and then the other clown would go over to comment on the decoration of this "Christmas tree";

Some of them took out a strange saw out of nowhere, and this saw was placed on a strange device, as long as a rope on the device was pulled, the saw tooth would rotate and move at high speed on its own, and the saw would spark and make a loud noise on the jade tree for some reason;

Some of them seemed to have turned into a rage, and they threw themselves on the jade tree and grabbed and bitten, and they really bit the tree slowly;

Some hold a palette and a paintbrush in their hands, slowly drawing dotted lines on the jade tree, and after each line, the jade tree will be broken along the dotted line;

Each clone will inexplicably disappear after solving a jade tree (or being solved), and there is always a clown who does nothing but bounce around McTitchkin.

Lista was only focused on cutting down trees, and every time he looked past the clowns, he would be empty, and his mind would enter nothingness, not thinking about how the other party did such a thing.

For some reason, Roth had the feeling that McTinkin might make a move on the Joker, and it was a little difficult to concentrate, but fortunately they encountered little decent obstacles along the way with the Joker's help.

After going some distance deep into the cavern, a web of magical turbulence stopped them, and the jesters' reckless attack resulted in three strange cedar trees in front of the net.

The clown stood aside and looked at the three trees and asked, "Isn't it a bit old-fashioned to keep changing a Christmas tree?"

Lista successfully ignored what he could not understand, and asked McTwinkin "Although I don't mind trying to solve it myself, Mr. Advisor, could you please give us some advice?"

McTice Kim said, "Why don't you ask your Mr. Clown?"

Lista wanted to deny the statement "your Mr. Clown", but he didn't dare to say so, so he had to assume that he hadn't asked.

He put away the Heavenly Fire in his left hand and slashed out a sword qi with the flying star with one hand.

The sword qi passed through the magic net without too much hindrance, and after the few remaining fighting qi and magic power clashed, several tree roots were generated, which were intertwined and twisted and fell to the ground, burrowing into the ground, and soon a jade tree grew at the landing site.

The nascent jade tree seemed to resonate with the magic net, and Roth cut it off with a knife in time and pulled it away, without revealing any excess internal force to the magic net.

"If we had attacked indiscriminately, this place would have been flooded with trees by now. Roth looked at McTis and said, "It doesn't look like an accident caused by filthy pollution, it should be a trap designed." Mr. McTsikin, how are we going to get through here?"

McZegin glanced at the long knife in Rot's hand, took two steps back and leaned against the wall and said, "Originally, as long as the elves wanted to pass, the defense device here would automatically stop attacking, but you also saw that it obviously didn't mean to stop." ”

"Isn't there an emergency?" asked Roth.

"What do you want that kind of thing, so that the foreign race has a way to invade?"

Roth wondered, "Didn't you design this place with them in mind when they got out of control?"

"How can the elven creation get out of control!" said McTwinkin, "and for now, it is because of the erosion of filth, not the problem of the elven creation!"

"Then this thing should at least have a weakness, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't use this thing as the outermost line of defense, would you?"

In order to prevent the other party from saying "the creation of elves has no weaknesses", Roth hurriedly added another sentence after asking.

McTzekin was silent for a moment, and noticed that the clown was already preparing to plane the wall.

"What do you want to do!?"

The clown turned around and said, "If this road doesn't work, wouldn't it be nice to take another way?"

"You're digging like this, it's going to cause the camp above to collapse!" McTiffin stopped the clown and said helplessly, "The Dryad Demon Net does have imperfections, its maximum output is limited, and spawning too many Treants at one time will lead to a lack of mana supply. ”

"In other words, if you keep stimulating it, it will naturally show a gap?" Roth had a headache, which was not a suitable solution for him with less internal force.

Hearing this, Lista was eager to do it, but then he realized that something was wrong, and looked at the jade tree on the ground that had just been cut by Roth and said, "This tree spirit magic net should be generated by tree spirits?

McTiffin shook his head slightly, "Of course, there is some kind of mutation because of the filth, and I suggest that you continue to stimulate it, so that I can give more opinions through observation." ”

Lista hesitated when he heard this, he didn't feel that he had the ability to break through the elves' node defenses with the strength of one person, even if this defense was spoiled by filth, but no one knew if it had become more dangerous.

He also knew Roth's internal strength, and he didn't count on it at this time.

The clown seemed to be thinking at this time, and he squatted on the ground, pinching his chin with the index finger and thumb of his right hand, while holding a short-handled hammer with a hammer head at both ends in his left hand for some reason, and kept raising and lowering it.

Could it be that the real purpose of McTzekin and the battalion commander was to test the clown?

Although Lista insists that the Joker is a deranged archmage or even a legendary mage, Roth knows there is another possibility.

The Joker may be an otherworldly person who strayed into this world as he said, or it may be ......

It may also be the family of an extraterritorial evil god with ulterior motives.

But with the exchange in the past few days, Roth has become more and more convinced that the clown is at least not malicious, so he uses the opportunity to exchange stories to remind him, but unfortunately it seems to be a little late to remind.

But earlier Roth couldn't believe the Joker's kindness, which was also something that couldn't be helped.

The clown seemed to think of something, and the double-headed hammer in his left hand disappeared, replaced by a yellow ball of light embedded in a silver base, which he casually pinched, and then many of his doppelgangers came from the path where the four came, each holding the stump of the jade tree in their hands.

"Lot, this light net almost had an infestation with the Jade Tree just now, right?" asked the Joker.

Roth didn't understand what he was trying to do, so he nodded.

"Then let me try this way!" said the clown, throwing a broken branch to the side of the tree spirit net near the wall, and sure enough, the electric magic immediately extended to the stump of the jade tree, causing it to quickly grow back into a tree.

However, the newly grown jade tree did not transform into a tree spirit, but maintained a stable state connected to the magic net, and the magic net on the side close to the jade tree divided into two paths, one still blocking everyone's path, and the other was connected to the newborn jade tree.

"It takes constant stimulation to transform a tree spirit...... Roth muttered to himself.

The clown found that it had an effect, and whistled excitedly, "Whew! If you guess wrong, you'll have to lose your clone again, but it's okay, it's okay, I've lost a lot today, and if I lose more, my muscles will be sore!"

After that, he continued to throw stumps next to the newly grown jade tree, and the magic net spread again, giving birth to a new jade tree.

The Joker repeats this process until the web has lost enough power to spawn a new jade tree because it has stretched too far.

At this time, the magic net that stopped in front of everyone was also so weak that there was almost only a faint shadow left.

The clown looked at the stunned Mai Xijin, and said with a smile: "You said that this magic net has an upper limit of output, and I saw that there was a magic connection similar to this magic net between the two jade trees before, so I tried it, but I didn't expect it to be successful." If you force your way through, you'll probably grow a bunch of trees, and the whole cave will be filled with tree spirits or something, and you won't be able to get through it! But this will leave enough space to lure the net away, right?"

McTice Kim was still a little unacceptable: "You, how do you know that you can ...... in this way"

"That's how I tried it~ In case this kind of rice planting is not good, then slowly stimulate this magic net is the same. The clown patted McTiffin in the face and said.

Looking at McTwinkin who hurriedly slapped the clown's hand away, Roth had a headache for him.

Just like a labyrinth, the temptation of the Joker's strength is always solved by him with his intelligence, but if you really want to use brute force against the Clown and have no confidence, you will know that it will definitely not be a pleasant experience to be an enemy of him.
