Geralt quickly retreated, the sword fell, and countless black feathers scattered.
Several hate birds that were hit by the slash fell to the ground, but this still could not stop the momentum of the subsequent flock of birds.
boom!
Raising his hand and flashing flames, Geralt released another Igni Seal.
The flock of hate birds quickly dispersed in the explosion.
Click~click~
The sound of dense trees snapping and cracking came from below.
Geralt looked down and saw that the soil on the ground was rising rapidly in strips, as if there were countless giant earthworms entangled together, about to break out of the soil.
"Damn"
With a low groan, Geralt turned around and ran quickly.
He had already predicted that this would be an attack involving tree branches, and had distanced himself as an early response.
But it ignores the huge increase in life energy of this move in the ancient tree forest.
The branches of the deer-headed spirit currently growing underground are almost identical in diameter and length to the thick exposed roots of native giant trees.
Such a thick branch greatly increases the attack range.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Giant tree branches that intertwined with each other exploded from the ground in a spiral shape.
Looking back, he realized that he couldn't dodge. Geralt first applied a Quen Seal on himself to resist damage, and then flew forward.
But before he could even hit the ground, he was wrapped around his waist by a tight spiral tree branch, and his whole body was hung upside down in the air.
Whoosh~bang!
In the distant bushes, April noticed that Geralt was in a bad state, and immediately chose to fire a signal flare to ask for help.
"We haven't reached the desperate situation yet, but the little girl really can't control herself."
After Geralt finished chanting, facing the many thick tree branches that were quickly surrounding him, he raised his hand and cast another Igni seal.
Boom! Fire exploded.
The dark green bark on the surface of the tree branch immediately charred, then turned into fine black particles, and sections began to break apart.
Geralt reached for his lower back, pulled out the hunter's knife presented by Li Fan, and began to cut the tree branches wrapped around his waist.
Click~click~
The sound of the tree bark bursting and cracking was heard, and the tree branch, whose growth momentum was stopped, began to grow rapidly again.
Only then did Geralt realize that the deer-headed spirit in the ancient tree jungle had greatly improved not only its attack range, but also its super regeneration ability.
"The flare that Ai Bo released just now was used to call for help."
After Geralt muttered in a low voice, his whole body was tightly grasped by the tree branches that surrounded him.
Woo ah~ woo ah~
A flock of hateful birds with dry and hoarse calls came flying in at the same time.
Gugu~
A dim silver glow appeared.
Puff! Puff!
As several sharp arc trajectories flashed in the air, a large number of hatebirds fell to the ground.
Geralt found that the tree branch that was wrapping him was cut apart, so he rolled over and landed on the ground, turning on his witcher vision and staring into the air.
The outline of a large bird resembling an owl, with a bulging belly, appeared in the field of vision.
“What a big, muscular bird.”
Geralt didn't know the origin of this invisible giant bird, but the other party did help him, which at least proved that he was not bewitched by the deer-headed spirit.
Gugu~
Ye Ye couldn't understand what Geralt was saying, so he just thought it was a thank you and responded.
The deer-headed spirit may have sensed that the situation had changed, and all the branches that had spread out quickly retracted.
A moment later, dozens of ferocious jackal dragons appeared from all over the jungle and surrounded Geralt. It was obvious that the deer-headed spirit controlled them.
Geralt was still thinking of a way to deal with it, so he folded his wings and fell to the ground hard.
Bang! The ferocious jackal under his butt collapsed immediately.
But what surprised Ye Ye was that the other ferocious jackal dragons were not frightened by this, and continued to move forward firmly, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
At this time, the deer-headed spirit also noticed Yeye's existence.
After observing for a moment, magic light flashed in the hollow eye sockets of the skeleton, and the body formed by twisted tree branches suddenly surged with black energy.
呲~woo~
The Deer Head Spirit turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared on the spot.
Gu? Gu!
The round red eyes open to the limit every night.
He has always been hiding and sneaking without being discovered.
Now there are monsters disappearing out of thin air in front of my eyes, which gives Ye Ye a great shock.
Hula~
From the side, a crisp impact sound was heard.
Ye Ye turned around to look and found a totem covered with skulls on the grass in the distance.
Although Geralt was surrounded by the ferocious jackal dragon, he had been paying attention to the flow of the black mist and immediately accurately determined the location of the deer-headed spirit.
"Behind me! Big Bird!"
Although she didn't understand the meaning of Geralt's words, Ye Ye also sensed something approaching behind her.
Phew~ The black mist reunited, and the deer-headed spirit appeared. Its palms were equipped with sharp branches. Just as it was about to thrust forward, the vaguely outlined head suddenly turned and faced directly behind.
Looking at the pair of big red round eyes, the deer-headed spirit probably didn't expect why such a strange creature existed, so he was stunned for a moment.
Yeye's body immediately twisted and her wings flapped at high speed while flying.
In order to resist the blade-like slashing of its wings, the overwhelmed deer-headed spirit could only quickly wave its arms and constantly use regenerated tree branches to resist.
Feeling unable to break through Ye Ye, he continued to increase the speed of his wings.
Goo! Goo! Goo!
The pressure on Deer Shou Jing was increasing. Just when he felt that he could no longer follow up, he lowered his head and caught a glimpse of the opponent's round belly that was constantly shaking.
Pfft~
The tip of the branch pierces directly into it.
Goo!
Ye Ye chirped once, and then her swing speed slowed down significantly.
Hula~
The withered bones totem made a series of noises in the breeze, and a dark red magic circle appeared below.
"It's a black magic ritual, not very good."
Geralt picked off a ferocious jackal with his long sword and rushed out of the siege to support him.
Once the black magic ritual is completed, not only will the big bird be controlled, but the deer-headed spirit will also gain the ability to be reborn before killing the big bird.
Seeing that his wings were becoming increasingly weak due to his injuries, Ye Ye opened the folded composite wings completely.
Then the whole body followed the head and began to move around rhythmically.
The things in the deer-headed spirit's eyes gradually faded away and disappeared, leaving only the swaying silver outline.
Black magic rituals come to a standstill.
Pfft~
The forearm dropped, and the sharp branch that pierced Ye Ye's belly slipped out, and the deer-headed spirit fell into a peaceful sleep.
"Hypnotizing the deer-headed spirit, an unprecedented magic."
Geralt, who was wary of probing in, said incredulously.
At this time, Li Fan and Eudora fell from the sky.
"Is this the monster that has been causing mischief in the ancient forest?"
Eudora, who landed on the ground, watched for a moment and asked.
"Yes, according to the investigation results of Ai Bo and I, all abnormalities are caused by the deer-headed spirit. It is currently sleeping. Be careful not to wake it up."
Geralt informed.
"I didn't expect you would also be able to sleep."
Eudora said very surprised.
"Now is not a good time for Mian Zhanliu to attack. If you want to completely solve the trouble, you have to wait for me to destroy the Withered Bone Totem first."
Geralt explained.
"totem"
Eudora fell into doubt.
"Don't worry, Geralt, we won't take action."
Li Fan informed.
"It seems that if you want to deal with the monsters in their world, you must master a corresponding hunting system."
Eudora speculated.
"Yes, this is what Commander-in-Chief Fry is most worried about."
Li Fan agreed.
"Looking at it this way, to dismantle that bone totem, special techniques similar to fire magic will definitely be used."
Eudora looked at Geralt in the distance and immediately became excited.
Geralt came to the Dry Bones Totem, stared at it for a moment, then kicked it towards him.
Crash! The Bone Totem took off from the earth, flipped in the air for several weeks, and fell into the jungle in the distance.
"Okay, I think it's complicated."
Eudora said helplessly.
"The next step is to give a heavy blow. It is best to crush the deer-headed spirit with one blow and eliminate the possibility of escaping."
Geralt returns and gives advice.
"Then leave it to Eudora, Geralt, let's retreat first."
Li Fan informed.
"Well, wouldn't it be safer if we stay together?"
Geralt asked with confusion.
"Farewell, she still can't fully control the big sword on her back. It's better to stay away."
Li Fan tried to dissuade him.
Geralt crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then followed Li Fan's advice.
Whoosh! Boom! After a brief burst of vertical red flames, there was a loud noise.
The ground trembled briefly, and a shock wave hit a large number of blades.
"A very powerful slash. Thank you for your suggestion, Li Fan."
Geralt, who was watching from a distance, solemnly thanked him.
"Is this kind of power considered powerful?"
Li Fan asked tentatively.
"Of course, it's just that the method of use is too simple. Sorry, I forgot that this kind of move was not designed for fighting with others."
Geralt explained.
"It doesn't matter. Everyone's accumulated cognition is different. It will be difficult to correct it in the short term."
"Do you remember Ciri?"
Geralt's sudden question really stumped Li Fan.
"Can not remember."
"Although I don't know what you went through, it was Shirley who helped you when you were leaving."
"Then if you find Shiri, ask him."
"Oh~ I'm looking for her too."
Geralt sighed.
"Does everyone over there remember me?"
Li Fan asked tentatively.
"certainly."
Geralt's answer was absolutely positive.
There is a world that I have never been to, but it has my past, and I am still wearing the equipment of the monster hunting world.
And finally I left
Li Fan felt that it was impossible to understand this kind of illogical thing even if he tried his best.
"Hey~ why is the body missing?"
Eudora's questioning voice sounded.
The two of them went immediately.
There was nothing in the pit created by the charged slash.
The body of the deer-headed spirit composed of twisted branches was literally turned into ashes.
After seeing the scene, Geralt explained: "If your attack was not so destructive, you might be able to leave something behind. It will be difficult to find anything now."
"I originally wanted to peel off some monster materials and keep them as souvenirs."
Depressed, Eudora thrust the hunter's knife back horizontally.
He helped solve the source of the abnormality in the ancient tree forest. Based on the guild's attitude towards travelers, there is a high probability that it will be able to accept Geralt.
But having killed people and carrying a murder weapon with him, this possibility of acceptance completely disappeared, so that Geralt was not even qualified to enter the Star Stronghold.
But he didn't really care, and he didn't plan to stay for a long time anyway.
At dusk, Aibo, riding a pterosaur, landed on the coast.
"Please take Mr. Geralt!"
April said, handing the heavy bag of gold to Geralt.
After Geralt took it, he felt the weight and nodded with satisfaction.
"Commander Frye said thank you very much. If there is another opportunity, I hope we can cooperate again. I have learned a lot through this cooperation."
Ai Bo said gratefully.
"The same goes for me, Miss April. This unexpected journey has taught me a lot of things beyond my knowledge, as well as the greatness of hunters."
After Geralt finished speaking, he turned to Li Fan.
"Have you found the monster that saved me?"
Geralt asked.
"No, I only found a feather with transparent fluorescent powder. According to your description, it should have fallen. Keep it as a souvenir."
Li Fan said, handing out Ye Ye's feathers.
Geralt held it in his hand and observed it for a moment, then put it in his pocket.
"Although you can't enter the Star Stronghold, you can live wherever you want in the public campsite and Yanhuo."
Li Fan informed.
"No, I'm going back now."
"It turns out you have a solution. I thought I would have to wait until the next time something goes wrong with the portal or it is found by a sorceress."
Li Fan asked somewhat unexpectedly.
"I have teleportation runestones in my hand. Although this thing cannot complete space teleportation on its own, it can be communicated to people who have the ability to activate teleportation, such as the sorceress you mentioned. How about we go back and take a look?"
Geralt sends an invitation.
"I'm living a good life here, so I won't go there. But if it's convenient for you, you'd better not come here casually. The situation here in the future may be a bit chaotic."
Li Fan informed.
"Okay, I'll give this teleportation runestone to you. I hope it can be helpful one day in the future."
Geralt said as he handed a triangular stone with strange symbols to Li Fan's hand.
Phew~buzz!
A moment later, a portal that distorted the surrounding space appeared out of thin air on the coast.
Geralt nervously checked the equipment to make sure it was not loose. He took a few steps back and sprinted towards the space portal.
"Geralt! Remember to pay attention to the height of the drop over there! Otherwise someone will die!"
Li Fan reminded.
"I will!"
After Geralt responded, his run-up was completed, he took off and jumped into the portal.
Now that they have arrived at the coast, the team plans to camp here for a night and eat some seafood for a change.
Late at night, Li Fan came to the beach alone, rubbed his hands out of thin air, and actually kneaded out a round hair ball.
"It turns out that the wound was caused by damage to the fat layer."
Li Fan took the handheld device to compare it and suddenly understood the meaning of the text description.
"Don't hold your belly in every night, I can't see the wound."
Gugu~
Every night he made a cry of dissatisfaction.
"It's not that I have to look at it. It's just that the description of this wound is too rare. It's the first time I've seen one that only injured the fat layer. I want to see what's the mystery in it."
