Looking forward to another world.

"------"

In a burst of silent wailing, the humanoid tree monster whose body had been cut off fell to the ground.

"Woooooooo..."

The girl who turned into a branch cried again, which made people's hearts soften.

This is also the usual method used by humanoid tree monsters. When they are about to be crusaded, they imitate the cry of creatures to arouse the sympathizers of the enemy and let the other party let him go.

It's a pity that it doesn't understand that it has no brains. After its true identity has been exposed, if its enemy can still soften because of this method, then this person is either sick or very sick.

Of course, Li Ge is a healthy person.

Therefore, he chose to cremate the humanoid tree monster.

"[Magical Most Enhanced Vermilion Nova]."

When Li Ge ruthlessly launched the flame magic with the highest single-target damage, a red magic circle appeared under the remnant of the humanoid tree monster, and it seemed to be ignited, lighting up the flames.

"boom!"

In the next second, flames soared into the sky in the magic circle and turned into a pillar of fire, engulfing the humanoid tree monster.

The humanoid tree monster struggled and twisted. The branches and roots were danced wildly and slapped wildly by it, until the ground trembled and the walls were broken.

"Is this still not dead?"

Li Ge felt more and more that something was wrong with this humanoid tree monster.

Even the flame magic [Vermilion Nova], which has the highest damage to a single target, can't kill it in one blow. Is this really a wood-type monster with weak fire?

"[Magic Triple Most Enhanced Vermilion Nova]."

Li Ge simply shot [Vermilion Nova] three times in a row, causing pillars of fire to continuously emerge from the fiery red magic circle, burning the humanoid tree monster again and again.

The already extremely hot air suddenly became even hotter, which made Liz feel parched and had the urge to take off her clothes.

And under the continuous bombardment of the ninth-level magic, the humanoid tree monster finally couldn't hold on, the strength of the struggle became weaker and weaker, and the movement caused by it became smaller and smaller, and finally lost all breath, all Action, consumed in flames.

The branches and roots on the ground were also burned, and not even a little bit of wood was left.

At the end of the burning, there was only one red object left in the flames, which persisted until the end, until the moment the flames were extinguished, before falling to the ground.

In the messy maze passage, the sound of fighting gradually subsided.

"call……"

Only then did Li Ge let out a light breath.

"That is……?"

Liz also let go of her heart. Just as she was about to talk to Li Ge, she noticed the red object that had persevered in the flames to the end and had fallen to the ground.

At that moment, Liz hurried over and picked up the object.

"what is this?"

Li Ge also came over, looked at the glowing red object, and asked.

"This should be the heart of the humanoid tree monster." Liz explained: "The main trunk of the humanoid tree monster usually has this kind of tree heart. It is the main material for making several kinds of high-efficiency magic potions. Some of the forging materials for magic weapons are very valuable."

This is not what Marilyn told Liz, but what Liz read in the book.

As a boudoir princess who has lived in the palace for a long time and can't show her face casually, besides practicing swords, Liz usually does most of her reading.

Therefore, despite the weak appearance of the little princess, she actually has a lot of knowledge reserves. It can be said that she has a perfect score in theoretical knowledge and zero in practical knowledge.

"It's worth a lot?" Li Ge became more interested in this point, and asked, "How expensive?"

"Well..." Liz was a bit stunned by the question, and after struggling for a while, she finally said: "I remember it was mentioned in the book that 12 years ago, in the southern Kingdom of Volkeri, there was an event that An auction where the heart of the humanoid tree monster is the final auction item."

The so-called Kingdom of Volkeri is an ancient country in the south that is as big as the Kingdom of Jinas and the Kingdom of Rebru.

It is the country with the longest history among the four countries, and it is also the only country among the four countries that has a history of thousands of years since its founding. Therefore, it is called the ancient country of the south by many people.

This country has the most strategic-level magicians among all the countries in the current Akasha continent, with a total of three.

Thanks to this, Lenny Barn Academy, one of the highest institutions of higher education in the mainland along with Spreller Academy in the Kingdom of Volkeri, has also become the most popular magic academy in the entire continent. I don’t know how many magician seedlings are sent to There, including the Kingdom of Jinas, there are also many nobles who choose to let their children travel thousands of miles to study at Lenny Barn College.

In this regard, Lenny Barn College is not rejecting anyone. As long as the students who apply can pass the entrance examination, no matter which country the other party is from, it will accept it. It can be called a model of teaching without discrimination.

It is worth mentioning that the Volkeri Kingdom is also recognized as the most peaceful country in the current Akasha continent.

Because, it has not been involved in a war for hundreds of years.

The Kingdom of Ginas and the Kingdom of Rebru have been fighting all year round due to the fact that their lands are bordering each other.

The last big country among the four big countries, the Kingdom of Distis, was targeted by several small countries around it due to internal strife. Due to internal and external troubles, it also fought continuously. The kingdom of Bru is much larger.

The small countries in the mainland are also constantly at war all year round, and every country is dreaming of becoming the fifth largest country, desperately trying to expand its territory.

Only the Kingdom of Volkeri, which is located in the southernmost part of the mainland, surrounded by the sea on three sides, occupies a natural geographical advantage. The only road leading to the Kingdom of Volkeri is occupied by three small countries, but these three small countries have already surrendered. The Kingdom of Volkeri became a vassal state of the Kingdom of Volkeri, and blocked all malicious intentions for the Kingdom of Volkeri that were detrimental to the main country.

That is to say, no matter who wants to invade the Kingdom of Volkeri, they must first pass through the troops deployed on the border by these three small countries and flatten their land.

Otherwise, they can only choose to attack from the sea and invade the Kingdom of Volkeri through naval warfare.

However, the kingdom of Volkeri is also good at naval battles. Not to mention the vigorous development of the magic fleet in the country, there is one of the three strategic-level magicians who specializes in transformation magic, and is specialized in water magic. A strategic-level magician known as the overlord of the sea will let all enemies understand what is called a man-made tsunami.

Who is willing to provoke such a hard bone that cannot be gnawed or beaten?
As a result, the Kingdom of Volkeri has become the most peaceful country in the Akasha continent, faintly even overwhelming the other three major countries, and is about to become the strongest kingdom on the continent.

At least, in the eyes of many people, the Volkeri Kingdom is the strongest country in the Akasha continent, and the well-deserved first kingdom.

Liz then mentioned the kingdom and said so.

"I remember that the heart of the humanoid tree monster that was the final auction item was about the size of a palm, and the final transaction price was 11 gold coins."

"And this one..."

Liz looked at the tree heart in her hand, and Li Ge followed suit.

Seeing the heart of the tree being held in the palm of Liz's palm, both palms couldn't cover it.

The size of two palms?

Isn't that twice as big as the heart of the humanoid tree monster that was auctioned for 11 gold coins?
How much can it sell for?

Conservative estimates, they can be sold for about twice the price, right?
"Hurry, hurry up and put this away! Master!"

Realizing what a precious treasure she was holding in her hand, Liz's hands were a little weak, and she hurriedly handed it to Li Ge, with a look of panic, and those who didn't know thought that someone was going to snatch her treasure.

"Ok."

Li Ge was kind, and put the red heart of the tree into the storage space of the Dimensional Rubik's Cube.

Now it's all right, if you sell this tree heart, you won't have to think about money for a long time in the future.

I originally planned to hunt monster meat to sell for money, but I didn't expect to solve the money problem in this kind of place.

…………

Next, Li Ge and Liz repacked and set off on the road.

As the two went deeper into the maze, the temperature in the maze also became higher and higher, Liz couldn't help but even took off her coat, her wet appearance provoked Li Ge's visual nerves.

Li Ge was fine.

He already had the ability to resist high temperatures, although he felt hot, he didn't sweat.

At the end, Liz couldn't bear it any longer, and when she wanted to continue taking it off, Li Ge finally didn't just sit and watch the girl turn into an image of immorality, and cast a magic to increase the fire resistance on her, and finally let her The little princess became cooler.

And along the way, the two also encountered several waves of monsters.

These monsters, like the humanoid tree monsters, are types that can be seen outside.

The strange thing is that these monsters are just like the humanoid tree monsters, very wrong.

Not only are they much stronger than the same kind of monsters outside, but without exception, they have all evolved the characteristics of resisting flames. When flame attacks fall on them, the power is greatly reduced, and they cannot bring them fatal damage at all. hurt.

One of these monsters alone can cause a veteran swordsman to fight a bloody battle, and ordinary swordsmen may not even be their opponents at all.

"Are all the monsters in this ruin so strong?"

Li Ge understood a little bit why Scranto entered the ruins twice and returned in embarrassment in the end. After the exploration teams of the Kingdom of Jinas and the Kingdom of Rebru entered here, they were wiped out immediately.

Probably because the monsters here are not ordinary strong, even if the sword master is here, they may not be able to please.

Fortunately, Li Ge is no longer an ordinary sword master. In the end, he defeated the monsters one by one without any risk, and even cut some rare materials from them that can be sold for a lot of money outside.

Fighting while walking like this, finally, Li Ge and Liz reached the end of the maze.
