Looking Forward to Another World

"Da-da-da-da-"

In the extremely silent passage, the footsteps of the two people were so clear and distinct that they even formed an echo.

Li Ge and Liz followed the little goblin and the three-legged crow, walking forward step by step.

Above their heads, the ball of light was still emitting light, illuminating the path under their feet.

However, this road seems not easy to walk.

"It's so hot..."

Liz broke out in sweat at some point, causing her to keep shaking the collar of her windbreaker.

Li Ge accidentally caught a glimpse of the beautiful scenery under his collar, and felt like he was about to get angry on the spot.

"The temperature inside this maze is so high, and it gets higher the deeper you go."

Li Ge took off his windbreaker and unbuttoned the collar to make himself cooler.

When Liz saw it, she quickly followed suit. She also took off her windbreaker and loosened her collar, exposing a large area of ​​spring light, which made Li Ge a little confused as to where to direct his eyes.

"Why is it so hot in here?"

Liz was not aware of her own charm at all. She tilted her head and asked this question.

"Who knows." Li Ge took a deep breath and said, "Maybe it's because there is some heat source emitting high temperature here, or maybe it's because we walked underground in the desert without knowing it."

Currently, Li Ge is completely unable to determine where he is.

The temple maze is very large and very long. It has been two hours since he and Liz entered here together. As a result, they are still walking through the maze and have not been able to see anything outside the maze passage.

Because of the boldness of a skilled artist, although Li Ge activated two kinds of guiding magic at the same time, he mostly followed the three-legged crow and took the shortest path to the heart of the maze.

But even though they took the shortest path, the two of them still couldn't get out of the maze. The maze passages in front of them were all the same. At the end, there were several forked roads, which made people dizzy.

"I'm really suspicious. In such a maze, how did the people who came here before get out?"

Li Ge had such an idea.

Then, Li Ge actually learned the answer to this question from Liz.

"They should have used a magic prop called the Return Magic Crystal." Liz said: "It is a magic prop that can reveal the footprints left by the user of the prop within twenty-four hours. Although It’s not very precious, it’s very rare, but it can be of great use in some specific occasions, so it is very popular in the market among people who wander around all year round.”

"That's it." Li Ge suddenly looked at Liz with some surprise and said, "How did you know?"

"Sister Marilyn told me." Liz smiled sheepishly and said, "Sister Marilyn taught me a lot of things, especially the knowledge needed to travel."

It seems that the maid is worried about her cheap sister.

Li Ge thought silently in his heart.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Li Ge stopped.

"Owner?"

Liz subconsciously stopped and looked at Li Ge with a confused look on her face.

Li Ge did not look at Liz, but stared ahead, making Liz follow Li Ge's gaze and look forward.

Liz was surprised at this sight.

"Woo...Woo..."

Amidst a faint cry, a girl appeared in the corner of the maze passage, leaning against the wall of the passage, hiding her face in tears.

Her feet were red and oozing blood, dyeing the ground red.

Obviously, the girl was injured, and seemed to have been abandoned by her companions. She was crying there helplessly, crying so hard that I felt pity for her.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing this scene, the sympathy in Liz's heart was immediately drawn out, and she subconsciously wanted to run over.

But Liz had only taken two steps when she was pulled back by Li Ge.

"do not go."

Li Ge said this in a calm and even ruthless voice.

"Why, why?"

Liz was stunned.

"She's not human."

Li Geyan spoke concisely and concisely.

"No, not a human?"

Liz didn't understand.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The injured girl cried louder just in time, as if to emphasize her helplessness and pain, which almost made people's sympathy almost overflow.

It's a pity that the other party has no idea that in front of Li Ge's transparent world, its true face has been seen through.

In Li Ge's transparent world, this girl has neither internal organs nor bones, nor even blood vessels or flesh and blood, only a layer of skin.

Could this be a human being?

This is clearly a monster!

Moreover, Liz was completely focused by the girl's cry and didn't notice a single detail, but Li Ge did.

That is, there are pieces of bones scattered around the girl's body.

Those are human bones.

Human breastbones, leg bones, hand bones, skulls, finger bones, etc., were scattered around the girl like trophies.

This is not only a monster, but a monster that only eats people!

"[The most enhanced magic·Fireball]."

So, without saying a word, Li Ge activated his magic, created a huge fireball at the tip of his outstretched finger, and launched it.

"————"

At this moment, the girl's crying stopped abruptly.

It lowered the hand covering its face, revealing a face with no facial features at all.

That face made Liz gasp, and she felt cold and trembling in her heart.

"Bang!"

At the same time, the girl stood up from the ground, and the ground beneath her quickly rose, allowing tree roots to emerge, and a tree emerged from the wall behind her.

There are roots connected to the tree behind the girl, like a doll controlled by the tree. In other words, one of the branches of the tree has transformed into the shape of the girl, attracting prey to it.

"Bang!!"

The huge fireball hit the tree hard, but was blocked by the wooden shield made of branches thrown out by the opponent, and exploded into sparks all over the sky.

The edges of the branches were immediately caught by the fire and burned, but the fire was quickly extinguished. The final result was only some black marks on the branches.

"What a humanoid tree monster!"

Li Ge narrowed his eyes and spat out these words.

Humanoid tree monster.

This is a very famous monster.

They are famous because they can imitate humans.

Their branches can imitate the appearance of the creatures they have seen, thus attracting creatures of the same kind to come closer. When the opponent is completely unprepared, they will penetrate the branches into the opponent's body and devour the opponent's flesh and blood. A very evil, very bloody, and very cunning monster.

In the wild, I don't know how many people put down their guard because of the humanoid tree monster's ability to imitate the appearance of living creatures. After approaching the opponent without thinking, they eventually died tragically at the opponent's hands.

Many people hate and fear this monster, which eventually leads to this monster becoming one of the monsters recognized by the world that they least want to encounter in the wild.

Now, this kind of monster appeared in front of Li Ge and Liz.

Liz also recognized the humanoid tree monster, and recalled the rumors of those who died tragically at the hands of the humanoid tree monster, and her little face instantly turned pale.

Just now, if Li Ge hadn't stopped her, she might have been unprepared like those people and had her body penetrated by the branches of the humanoid tree monster, sucking all her flesh and blood, right?

Thinking of that outcome, Liz was terrified.

"[The most enhanced triple magic: Fireball]."

At this time, Li Ge activated his magic again, shooting three huge fireballs in one breath, which hit the wooden shield made of the branches of the humanoid tree monster one after another.

The continuous bombardment of fireballs caused the wooden shield to burn directly, but it did not burn it out. It still only left scorched black marks on it, and no further achievements were made.

"There's something wrong with this humanoid tree monster."

Li Ge noticed this.

Although the humanoid tree monster is a monster that everyone is afraid of, its own strength is actually not very strong, so it evolved the ability to trick hunters into approaching in order to make up for its lack of strength to complete the hunt. .

Moreover, since the humanoid tree monster is a tree, it is afraid of fire. Once it is attacked by flames, it will be destroyed in just a few hits.

Generally speaking, a mature humanoid tree monster will not be stronger than a regular swordsman. The strength of a regular swordsman is enough to defeat it. If it is a person who is good at fire attacks, it will not be a regular swordsman. Can conquer successfully.

But something was obviously wrong with the humanoid tree monster in front of him. Not only was it not as afraid of fire as rumored, but its defense was also surprisingly strong. Even after taking so many fireballs from Li Ge, only the branches were burned black. It didn't make sense at all.

"boom!"

The humanoid tree monster didn't know that in Li Ge's mind, it had subverted the world's understanding of it. After blocking Li Ge's fireball attacks, it responded immediately.

With a roar, the ground broke inch by inch, and thick tree roots emerged from the ground one after another, like a python in a violent state, instantly filling the entire maze passage.

They squeezed the walls, the ground, and the air and pushed forward, like a meat grinder crushing everything, covering them in the direction of Li Ge and Liz.

"[The most enhanced magic·Stone wall]."

Li Ge pressed his hand on the ground, and the ground in front of him immediately rose up, and an earth wall rose up to block the surging tree roots.

"Dong——"

The squeezing tree roots immediately hit the stone wall. First, there was an extremely muffled sound, which made the stone wall tremble violently, and then the stone wall was squeezed until it cracked.

"[The most enhanced three-level magic: present break]."

Seeing this scene, Li Ge's eyes flashed coldly, and he suddenly struck out with three slashes that cut off the space.

In an instant, the invisible slash cut off the stone wall and tree roots. Everything in its path was cut off, causing countless tree roots to turn into stumps and fall to the ground.

"Pfft!"

After a while, the giant body of the humanoid tree monster was also struck by the space blade and broke on the spot.
