Under, Elden Sword Saint

Rotten Dryad

Gray mist filled the air, the night wind was cold, and Stonewell was silent.

Greck’s army has been driven to the open space outside the city, while a small number of the Holy Tree Army are on guard on the wall, and more of them are already drunk.

This is not talking about arrogant soldiers and underestimating the enemy, but that Greg is right next to Marenia, and he can kill him by raising his hand. Besides, the former defenders have already lost their hearts. If the Red Lion Army did not travel thousands of miles to the city overnight, Then the city of Stonewell is impenetrable.

Tight on the outside and loose on the inside, Tang En had already confirmed when he was wandering with Ivan, there were basically no defenders in the city, and the sentries on the towers turned their attention to the sky.

“Apprentice, is it really okay for us to do this?” Se Lian leaned on Tang En’s back and looked at the rift in the thick fog.

Holding the hemp rope, the swordsman slid down step by step, occasionally stepping on the protruding stone slab to rest.

The rift was deep and the vision was poor, but Dunn could already see things at the bottom of the valley. Those stone roads had not been maintained for many years and were already damaged. Some huge sculptures were evenly arranged along the sides of the road.

“Are you afraid of attracting the attention of the Holy Tree Army?”

“More than that, the feeling down there is also very bad.” Ser Lian pointed to the rock wall.

The branches are clinging to the hard rock, the color is slightly dark, and the surface has fingerprint-like lines.

“Of course that thing is not good.” Tang En took out a few oil pots and flame pots and tied them together. These were the props he took from the armory. The shield hung behind him, and he patted the breastplate to make a muffled ‘bang bang’ sound.

“Below is the root of the golden tree, but there are some mutations.”

What? ?

Even Su Lian’s eyes widened slightly at this moment, even if she was so bold, the root of the golden tree? Are we going to trouble the golden tree under the feet of a group of knights?

When the magic ring is broken, the golden tree will cast golden seeds to each area after feeling the crisis of survival. When the years pass, it will become a small golden tree. And underground, its roots are also spreading, and the princes of various places have built cemeteries to provide places for the golden people to return to the tree.

“What do we cut the roots for? Pyroxene magic can’t use golden trees as materials.”

“The roots here are a bit different. Forget it, let’s have a look first.” Tang En replied ambiguously, and jumped down first.

Because time will change everything, and he doesn’t know what’s different between the following and what he remembers, if there is nothing, his coercion is not pretending.

The stone slabs were cracked, and the statue next to it was full of cracks. It might collapse in a hundred years. There was a church-like building in front of it, and its top collapsed, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

Perhaps many years ago, the Golden People followed this path full of ceremonies. After being blessed by the priest, they finally entered the depths of the cave, put their hands on the roots, and returned peacefully.

“But now—” Tang En pulled out his knife suddenly, the arc-shaped light of the knife splashed blood in the darkness, and then there was a groaning sound.

“Things have long changed.”

The heavy object fell to the ground, and Tang En opened his hand to catch Selian who jumped down.

“Teacher, be careful.”

Squeak.

Black figures stepped out of the gray mist in front of them. It turned out that they were rats that were bigger than humans. They had festering abscesses on their bodies and their fangs were constantly rubbing against each other.

“You didn’t sleep in the middle of the night, and you came here to hunt mice?” Se Lian snorted dissatisfiedly, raised his staff, “deal with them as soon as possible.”

The rays of light scattered by the crystals tore through the gray fog. Before the dozen or so mice jumped up, they trembled in the rain of bullets, with large holes pierced all over their bodies. The light of the knife is already in front of him.

puff!

———————xxx———————

After the knife light passed, the head of a mouse was spinning in the air, and the other one on the side hadn’t jumped in front of him.The long and narrow rapier had pierced through his forehead.

With a knife in one hand and a sword in the other, Tang En kept moving forward for a moment, every time he made a shot, he must hit a vital point. As for those around him, he didn’t even bother to look at them. The light of the comet flashed and directly blasted them into blood foam.

From far to near, there was a tacit understanding. Originally, there were still mice hiding in the ruins and not talking about martial arts sneak attacks. As soon as they jumped out, they were nailed to the wall with a lightsaber. Exposure to pain.

The sewage accumulated in the pit has been dyed red. The swordsman walked through the small door and saw a huge cave in front of him. Because of the gray fog, he couldn’t see what was inside. Extend outward.

“It’s almost there.” Tang En said, then turned around and threw out the rapier. A rat the size of a washbasin was nailed to the wall, and it was supposed to make a hole in Selian’s back.

“My bad feeling seems to have intensified.” He raised his staff from the side, and spread out the circle of bright swords around him, snapped his fingers lightly, and the blue light shuttled through the cave.

“There are little devils in the general catacombs, and there are dead ones after the night of the black knife, but we only see rats.”

It’s not just seeing a mouse, it’s like stabbing a mouse’s nest, there are dozens of large and small ones. Fortunately, there is no three-rat killing king formation in reality, and these ordinary creatures can’t pose a threat.

“That’s why I came to take a look.” Tang En chopped off several rats in a row, then threw off the rat that was biting on the arm armor, crushing it with his foot.

Even with light armor, ordinary beasts can’t break through knight armor.

A strong smell of blood and rancidity filled the air. Looking around, there was no living creature. There was a cliff a few meters high in front of it, and behind the cliff was a huge hollow. It was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

“It’s right here?” Se Lian was about to go there, but Tang En immediately raised his hand to stop it.

“Don’t worry, just wait here for safety’s sake, I’m making some arrangements.”

Se Lian had no objection, of course all the troublesome things like combat should be left to the apprentice.

The sound of the battle just now was also a kind of temptation. Since nothing rushed out, Tang En was not in a hurry. He first took off the rapier sword on the rock wall, and then made the flame pot and the oil pot into traps. The witch watched with her hands in her arms. He was busy.

I have to say that this apprentice is a bit stupid in studying magic, but she has strange skills, which she can’t understand anyway.

Tang En tied a knot on the rope tied to the rock wall, Shi Shiran walked back, and warned: “Teacher, no matter what you see later, don’t be surprised, just use magic to blast with your life, and don’t use too much force.” Meng, I don’t want to be blocked by Marenia.”

“Are you afraid of her?”

“Uh, I’m just too lazy to explain.” Tang En had already made a plan, and if it couldn’t be done, he said that he strayed into this place while walking around after eating.

“Hold this shield well, if you can’t dodge it, hide behind it.”

He took out another huge square shield, and Serlian took it, feeling quite heavy.

“Go and come back quickly.”

Tang En didn’t say much, he jumped off the cliff and slowly got up, landed on his toes, and walked in silently.

tick tock…

The water droplets falling from the hollow splashed on the armor, and everything was terribly quiet. He adjusted the frequency of the magic power and released a weak ‘starlight’, and saw that the surrounding rock walls were covered with roots, enough to make any mystic sufferer get sick.

The soil soaked in stagnant water for a long time is very soft, as if stepping on some kind of internal organs. Human bones can be seen everywhere, and some are still lying in the boat, as if performing some kind of ritual.

Looking around, Tang En didn’t feel the slightest sense of sacredness, but instead felt like entering a haunted house.

It’s creepy, and those who are a little bit timid may have already returned, and the swordsman has even hacked the ‘headless’. Compared with the rotten tree spirit, the former is undoubtedly more terrifying.

‘It hasn’t come out yet, could it be that it’s too early, and the dead prince’s dead roots haven’t spread here yet? ’ Tang En murmured in his heart that the so-called dead prince was the victim of the Black Knife Night, ‘Golden’ Godwin. His soul was killed, but his body was taken in by the Golden Tree, and then—

There is a bug in the system.

Godwin’s soul died, but the powerful demigod’s body remained alive, and the doomed death remaining in his body kept infecting the living body, and the ensuing ‘death’ spread along the roots of the big tree it was docked on. The entire border.

“That’s why the night of the black knife is the root of all evil.” Tang En didn’t have time to think too much, and when it was almost the end, he waved his hand lightly.

The ‘starlight’ floated forward, illuminating more and more things. Tang En saw a group of twisted and huge roots on the innermost side of the rock wall. These things were black, intersected and overlapped, full of indescribable weirdness sense.

But unfortunately, there was no distorted face like melting wax in the memory.

“Not enough time, hasn’t it happened yet?” Tang En was a little disappointed, and slowly took a step forward. As soon as his toes hit the ground, he retracted as if his feet were hot.

boom!

It’s like dropping a boulder on the lake, the soil suddenly exploded, and a huge monster jumped out of the ground.

It is about ten meters long, and the whole body is gray-white. The rotten roots twist each other to form gastropods, and the hands supporting the ground are thick and long, full of strength.

boom! !

The falling monster trembled hollowly. It had no intelligence and could not speak. It turned around and swung its long and narrow tail over two meters thick.

Woo–

Amid the sound of air explosions, sand and rocks flying, Tang En had already jumped a few meters away in advance, seeing the monster’s huge and twisted body clearly, the corners of his eyes twitched.

Is this really a rotten tree spirit?

He clenched his sword tightly. Many people have been killed, but this is the first time he has encountered a monster!
