After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 231 The Princess of the Forest
The face reflected in his pupils shocked Ryan beyond words.

Just as he was stunned, an attack like a fist and a dragon's claw struck him again.

"Boom!"

The ground composed of a large number of vines was cracked and broken, and a large crater with a radius of tens of meters exploded.

Ryan used the big sword as a shield to block the punch. The opponent's fist fell on the Black Yao Sword, causing blood to overflow from the jaws of his sword-holding hands.

A sword apart, Ryan saw the face of the energy shadow more and more clearly - it was almost 99% similar to Freni. The only area was the temperament and eyes of the two.

That look was indifferent and peaceful, as if everything was equal in his eyes.

With such eyes and temperament, there is absolutely no way it could be Freni!

What is the relationship between this person and Freni?

Thoughts were surging in his mind, and the wound on Ryan's tiger's mouth healed quickly. He looked straight at the energy shadow in front of him that was wrestling with his fists, and the corners of his mouth grinned in a slightly ferocious arc.

Intense blue flames burned on the surface of Ryan's body. The flames spread along the sword and touched the fist of the energy shadow.

Instead of rushing into the huge pit filled with smoke, dust and wooden debris, Ryan stood not far from the pit, his hands filled with blood.

It was like hot oil entering water, causing a quite strong reaction.

Green light circulated, and the sword broke through the shadow. Ryan's figure appeared at a position of more than ten meters. But as soon as he appeared, the sword followed him like a shadow and struck directly at his neck.

But these abnormalities quickly returned to normal as Ryan's sword was slashed out.

The energy phantom's hand stagnated. Taking this opportunity, Ryan took the initiative to take a step forward and used brute force to force it into the air.

The body of the black sword was spread with magnificent red branch-like patterns. Faced with the sword coming towards him again, Ryan's eyes were filled with red and green light.

"boom!"

The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, kicking off the second phase of the battle.

[Grasp of Greed]!
The energy shadow shattered the [Hand of Greed] with just a slight pull, but it still could not prevent the continuous decline of its own spirituality and strength.

The spiral blood spear condensed out, and with the blessing of many skills, beating blood-colored electric light appeared on the surface of the blood spear.

The tyrannical aura swept across, causing the ground to crack for hundreds of meters.

The energy shadow that had just landed on the ground had not yet made the next move when a bright blue energy giant hand appeared out of thin air and held her in its hand.

The sword was slashed out, half-circle like the moon, with a green light that cut through the sky.

A red sword thread as thin as an ox hair brushed against the sword. The sword energy seemed to be light and airy, but it actually contained extremely terrifying power.

"Ding--"

The same formula, the same combination of the two sword skills, but compared to Ryan's own slashing, the Power Waiter is a little less subtle, but thanks to the powerful basic attributes, it is a little more domineering.

She was originally slender and strong, but many fine blue dragon scales appeared on the surface of her body. The same was true on both sides of her cheeks. The previous energy sword disappeared and was replaced by a blue dragon spear that was longer than her height. .

Through the feedback from the servant of power, although the sword hit just now, there was no feeling of physical collapse, but a very strong counter-shock force was sent back.

A strong sense of life and death crisis came from behind, but Ryan showed no intention of defending himself.

The repulsed energy shadow looked down at the blue flames on his fists. The energy surged to offset it, and then, its indifferent eyes fell on Ryan again.

"No matter who you are, I will find you..."

An energy weapon that looked like a sword appeared in front of the energy shadow. She stretched out her hand, grasped the handle of the knife, and slowly pulled it out.

"call!"

"call!"

However, the time brought by three "wind breaks" was enough for Ryan to complete the charge.

There was an explosion, and the energy shadow, which was caught off guard and whose attributes dropped, ate the sword forcefully, and its entire body was smashed into the ground.

Invisible ripples spread, and the sword that struck at extremely high speed seemed to be trapped in the stagnation of distorted time and space, becoming extremely slow.

"Thorn..."

The sword was lifted up, burning with scorching flames, and began to retract on the sword as Ryan accumulated power.

The green wind blew again, and just like that, Ryan used "Breaking Wind" three times in succession, but still couldn't get rid of the sword in the hand of the energy shadow.

There is a thin green line on the solid energy sword. The moment the sword is unsheathed, the energy shadow disappears and appears behind Ryan.

The sword hit, but there was no joy in Ryan's eyes.

The energy shadow was repulsed for the first time since the battle, and even the energy sword in his hand was full of cracks.

The third sword skill of the Burning Flame Swordsmanship: Ashes of Residual Flame + The third sword skill of the Storm Swordsmanship: God Splitting.

"Chong-"

In just a few seconds, Ryan was smashed into the pothole in embarrassment, but now, he has turned into an energy shadow.

"call out--!"

The sound of howling wind came from behind the energy shadow, and the servant of power who had finished charging cut out the big sword in his hand.

A strong wind emerged from the bottom of the giant pit, forcibly blowing away the smoke and dust, and the energy shadow that emerged from it showed a completely new form.

It's like, even if he penetrates the space, he still can't get rid of the opponent's lock.

The blood spear turned into a bloody stream of light and arrived in front of the dragon man's shadow in an instant.

"boom!"

The dragon-man phantom raised his hand, grasped the blood spear, and exerted force with his hand, crushing the blood spear into bloody fragments.

Even Ryan saw such a scene for the first time.

After the energy shadow entered the "dragon form", his physical quality increased significantly, reaching an extremely outrageous level, even surpassing Ryan.

The dragon figure stepped forward, and in an instant, a spider web-like crack spread for hundreds of meters on the ground, and her body, already wrapped in violent airflow, appeared in front of Ryan.

The green dragon spear penetrated out, and the dragon head carving at the tip of the spear seemed to come alive, emitting a thundering dragon roar.

The sound spread, and Ryan's consciousness fell into a trance for a moment.

The blood barrier and the Overlord Blood Demon were penetrated one by one. With a "pop" sound, and with the blood flying, the armor on Ryan's chest shattered, and the spear tip pierced out from behind him. Thanks to some obstruction, he tried his best to dodge. , so that it was not penetrated through the heart.

Severe pain swept through his body, and a ferocious arc appeared at the corner of Ryan's mouth. The ice-blue light centered on his body and expanded to all sides.

[Happy Frozen Aura], start!
A touch of frost appeared on the body surface of the dragon figure. She tried to remove it, but the effect was weak.

Just when the dragon figure was about to draw his gun and retreat, he found that the blue dragon gun was difficult to withdraw and was tightly held by a hand full of blood.

In Ryan's eyes, blood and blue light complement each other.

A huge ferocious blue beast emerged from behind Ryan and engulfed the dragon man's shadow.

Blue King!
Boom boom boom!
The Bird's Nest building roared, and two figures were thrown away at the same time.

"Pfft..."

After landing, Ryan couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of dark red blood, which was mixed with visceral fragments. [Gluttony Heart] was activated, and combined with various special injury recovery skills, the penetrating wound on his chest began to heal at a high speed.

On the other side, the situation of the dragon shadow is also very embarrassing.

Having eaten the blast of the "Blue King" at close range, it was inevitable to avoid it. Not only did the scales around the dragon's figure appear to be broken in large areas, but the energy condensed into the body became much darker.

The "Blue King" that dealt a large amount of real damage, even the Dragon Shadow, was somewhat unable to withstand it.

But the dragon figure has not yet landed, and behind her, the powerful waiter has been waiting for a long time.

The charged sword was slashed out, and the 100-meter spiritual giant sword tore through the battlefield. The dragon figure who bore the brunt could only block the blow with the cyan dragon gun in his hand, but the energy body couldn't help but dimmed a bit.

Continuous injuries have caused Dragon Shadow's condition to continue to decline. Coupled with the influence of [Grip of Greed], Dragon Shadow's combat effectiveness is no longer half of what it was in its heyday. Not far away, Ryan was panting. He raised his hand and shook it hard in the direction of the dragon man's shadow.

"Gospel, explode!"

Purple lines spread, and the shadow of the God of Death emerged.

The sickle blade passed by, taking away the fire of life.

The light of the dragon's shadow completely dimmed. The moment before it shattered and dissipated, her indifferent eyes fell on Ryan, as if she wanted to remember this human being who defeated her.

"boom!"

Green light spots were flying all over the sky, like a rain of light.

Ryan stood up slowly with his sword in his hand.

Feeling the residual pain in his chest, he couldn't help but take a breath.

"This feeling... I haven't seen it for a long time..."

This is the first time that Ryan has encountered such a powerful fourth-level professional.

Even he had to use all his means to defeat the opponent.

"The last tree king warrior, guardian of the tree kingdom's capital, Saint Milis...Diana..."

Ryan can't imagine how powerful Diana is now.

What race is that giant green dragon?
As the energy shadow shattered, bright light projected down from the top of the bird's nest, like the sun clearing after a rain.

Ryan was bathed in the light, and a faint halo appeared on the outline of his body.

The host's excited vibrato followed:

"A new, new Tree King fighter is born!"

"The 'Great Swordsman' from the human race defeated the previous tree king warrior and successfully won the crown!"

"Bang!" Countless salutes exploded in the air, and a crown exuding a hazy crisp green light slowly fell from a high altitude and stopped in front of Ryan.

Ryan looked up and saw specific prompts on the panel.

-

[Tree Laurel Crown]: A crown woven from the buds of the Tree King. It is a symbol of the status and honor of the Tree King warrior.

With the "Tree Laurel", you can walk freely in most areas of Saint Milis, the capital of the Tree Kingdom.

Even if he breaks into the restricted area and is suppressed by the "Tree King Barrier", he can still exert half of his strength.

-

As Ryan caught the [Tree Laurel Crown], a drop of golden liquid dripped from high in the sky.

-

[Tree King Holy Liquid]: The reward for those who participate in the Tree Arena and win the crown. It is refined from the purest dew collected from the Tree King after hundreds of years. After taking it, the upper limit of spirituality is +30.0 (available at level and below) ) and recover from all injuries.

ps: The Holy Liquid of the Tree King is only effective when taken for the first time. It is a supreme treasure born from the Tree King. Please take this drop within ten minutes, otherwise the effect will gradually decrease.

-

The faint golden light even faintly penetrated Ryan's skin, allowing him to see the blood flowing rapidly under his skin.

[Tree King Holy Liquid] is much more effective in increasing the upper limit of spirituality than [Secondary Gold Liquid], and it can even be effective at the seventh level.

Of course, the latter has the effect of restoring the origin and cannot be simply compared.

But no matter what, the preciousness of this thing is self-evident.

Seeing that [Tree King Holy Liquid] would lose its effect in ten minutes, Ryan swallowed it without hesitation.

A warm feeling spreads all over the body, inside and outside the body, body and mind, all injuries and fatigue disappear under the soothing touch of this warm current.

-

[Spirituality]: 342.8→372.8
[Physique]: 341.04
-

"Spirituality begins to transcend the physical body..."

"It seems that traveling around the world still requires a lot of effort..."

Ryan raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself.

"Dear Tree King Warrior, please step into the circle of light in front and go to the Tree King Palace."

The host's voice came: "Every new Tree King fighter needs to go to the Tree King's palace to meet the Tree King's spokesperson, the Princess of the Forest."

A large circle of light slowly appeared on the ground in front of Ryan.

Different from the previous teleportation aperture, this large aperture is green-gold and has gorgeous patterns around it, making it extraordinary at first glance.

Ryan raised his head and looked at the sky.

Since the battle, he can hear the host's voice, but he has been unable to see the host.

"Is it some other technology? Or is the host far stronger than me?"

Ryan guessed in his heart.

After a slight hesitation, he took a step forward and stepped into the green-gold circle of light.

Arrogantly violating the traditions of this place can easily lead to unknown crises.

The purpose of Ryan coming here is to help Freni complete the assessment, and the higher his status, the more he can help Freni.

Therefore, a trip to the Tree King Temple is inevitable.

The only risk is the "Princess of the Forest" as the host calls it.

I don't know what the "Princess of the Forest Lord"'s attitude is towards him, the human tree king fighter.

From the host's previous words, it can be vaguely understood that humans may be very rare in Saint Milis, the capital of the Tree Kingdom.

Not only that, the previous tree king fighter, Diana, had a face that was almost the same as Freyne.

This place is Freni's assessment place, and such a situation cannot be a coincidence.

Diana became a tree king fighter a hundred years ago, and now she is the guardian of Saint Milis, the capital of the tree kingdom.

Although he defeated the fourth-level Diana, Ryan did not think that he now had the strength to defeat the real Diana.

Therefore, if you want to find Diana and find out the relationship between her and Freni, you will definitely not be able to use force.

To realize this, it is estimated that it will fall on the so-called spokesperson of the Tree King, the "Princess of the Forest".

As Ryan stepped forward, green and gold light shone brightly in front of his eyes!
When his vision returned to normal, Ryan found that he had arrived at a large, antique tree hole.

"Tick..."

The sound of drops of liquid dripping sounded, and Ryan looked in the direction of the sound. What came into his eyes was a clear water pool with a radius of about ten meters.

A woman wearing a white robe with green stripes was floating in the middle of the pool, letting the droplets falling from above fall on her eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, my warrior, to meet you in this posture."

The woman closed her eyes tightly, but Ryan could feel the other person's eyes on her.

Familiar voice, familiar face.

Ryan was shocked and said: "Captain?!"
