After entering the valley, the further you go, the more desolate the environment becomes. There is almost no vegetation on the surface. The uninhabited mountain road passes through sharp rocks with intertwined teeth. Only withered grass and thorn bushes grow out of the cracks in the rock walls.
There seemed to be some withered trees in the distant darkness, and the cold wind in the mountains passed through the branches like black smoke, making a creaking sound.
Brando knew that this was because the nutrients of the land were absorbed by the magic tree. He held up a torch to reflect the surrounding stone walls. There were occasionally a few white bones in the shadows, which looked like goat-like animals, because
He accidentally entered the restricted area and became the food of the golden magic tree.
Roman held a torch and followed closely behind. She protected her bag with one hand and looked around nervously and curiously. This was the first time she had been so far away from home, as if the businessman's dream was about to come true from this moment on.
It's the same thing - the dangers and excitement on the trade road, as well as the wealth and treasures at the unknown end, have always been the reasons that have supported the prosperity of merchants and adventurers on this continent.
Besides, following Brando, she felt a sense of security.
Two balls of fire passed through the canyon one after another. Brando put his hand on the hilt of the sword. As soon as he passed through this area in the game, he entered the territory of a monster, the Blight Beast.
The Golden Demonic Tree is a terrible monster, or it should be said to be a type of golden tree species. The body may be a elven sacred tree such as a banyan tree or an oak tree, which can be implanted with the blood of God by the 'Tree Shepherd'
Just awaken as a golden tree - the tree shepherd is one of the major cults in the game. In this war-torn world, darkness breeds where the fire of civilization cannot spread. Not only does the undead sequence exist, but there is also soil for cults to survive. In this war-torn world, darkness thrives.
The villains in the game, who are like tree shepherds, act secretly and leave their presence everywhere. It is like a thread running through the whole story, letting people know that they have a certain purpose, but no one knows what it is.
Brando is no exception.
The Golden Demon Tree has two abilities. The first is to activate plants. It can turn the shrubs on the land it controls into human-shaped monsters, called wither beasts. The wither beasts are like the tentacles and spies of the Golden Demon Tree.
, they are all over this canyon.
A single wither beast is level seven in the game, and its combat power is about the same as that of the security team members Brando has seen before, but its intelligence is low. The stronger wither beast exceeds level thirteen and has awakened the first level of power. For Brando,
It's also a tough opponent.
The second ability is the demonized fruit. The fruit of the golden demon tree falls to the ground and splits, and furry savage-like creatures grow out of it. They will grow to two meters high in one day. These are the descendants of the golden demon tree and the elite guards.
, the levels are distributed between level 20 and level 22, and Brando’s only reliance on encountering them is the Ring of the Queen of Winds.
After decades of accumulation, there are already a considerable number of these demons and withered beasts in the canyon. If Brando hadn't relied on something in his heart, it would have been impossible for him and Roman to pass through the canyon safely.
It's possible. Of course, the Golden Demonic Tree itself is also very powerful. After all, it is a monster that has entered the second level of power, but the young man has no intention of provoking it at all - he knows where it is, and naturally he will not get close.
Along the way, there were only the rustling footsteps of the two of them, which seemed a bit scary in the silence. But Brando felt a familiar smell. In the past, he was like this alone, carrying large rolls of ropes, torches, and oil lamps.
Get the hook and dry food in, and then follow the route you have taken thousands of times to find trouble with the golden magic tree.
The Golden Demon Tree produced 20oz to 30oz power-level equipment, which was almost the best at that time. At that time, any player with some skills would choose to do this - especially the rumored Heart of the Golden Tree, which restored 1 per minute.
Points of life were an artifact in the early days of the game.
But I'm afraid the only difference now is that there is a future business lady behind him. Brando suddenly feels like taking the girl he likes on an adventure in the mountains and forests. The adventure of two people sounds quite romantic, doesn't it?
"Brando?" Roman suddenly reminded in a low voice.
Brando turned around and noticed that the other party's eyes were on his hand. He was slightly startled and found that the thorn of light in his hand was seeping white light from the scabbard.
There are undead nearby! He was startled, and then realized that even if Madara did not control this area, he might send a small team to monitor it to ensure that no fish would slip through the net. But it was a small team. Thinking of this, Brando relaxed a little
A few low-level undead were not enough for him to see, but he had to be careful not to disturb the withered beasts in the canyon.
He pulled out his sword. When the thorn of light pointed in one direction, the light on the sword was obviously brighter. Brando immediately knew that the small group of undead were in this direction. He stretched out his hand back to signal Roman to stay away, and then extinguished it.
The torch moved over step by step.
There is indeed a small group of undead in the canyon, but these skeletons are also in a little trouble at the moment. They are led by the corpse witch Kabka. Its performance in Buqi not only let the human scout go, but also caused a colleague to always...
Roscoe assigned him here - firstly to punish him for his disappointing performance, and secondly to remind him not to be too eager to appear too smart in front of his boss or master.
Kabuka certainly understands, but what is more important is how to block the attack of the three monsters in front of him.
At first, it and its skeleton soldiers killed a creature covered in thorns that looked like a standing humanoid shrub in the canyon. At this moment, their kind seemed to have come to the door. There were three of them. These monsters were shrouded in a pile of withered trees.
Under the heads under the branches, there were two groups of glowing fire staring at these undead creatures. There were several scattered skeletons around them.
The battle seems imminent.
What are these tree roots and turf? The green flames in Kabuka's eye sockets flickered on and off.
Seeing that the opponent was about to attack again, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and replace his skeleton soldiers with strong bows, draw out the blue soul fire to ignite the arrow clusters, and then shoot out a wave of arrows - but he did not expect that the two withered beasts would be touched.
The flames soon let out a hissing scream and turned into two burning flames on the sand.
The corpse witch immediately let out a cackle of laughter. This thing is stronger than the skeleton soldiers under it, but as long as it is a plant, it is afraid of fire. By the way, why didn't it think of this before? What a mistake. Kabuka raised it
The bone staff exploded with a bang, causing half of the last withered beast's body to explode, sending sawdust flying all over the sky.
Seeing the corpse witch dancing there below, Brando, who climbed behind a protruding pale rock, couldn't help but laugh. This is really a person who doesn't know how to live or die. He dares to use magic here. Magic is the most important thing about the golden magic tree.
One of its favorite nutrients, the Golden Demon Tree craves it like a drug. As long as there is a trace of magic fluctuation in this area, the latter will immediately detect it, and the corpse witch doesn't know it yet, and it really wants to die.
But he was also in some trouble. After all, he and Roman were also here. They had to find a way to get to a higher place quickly, otherwise they might be buried with these empty souls in their minds.
He turned around and pulled Roman up from below. When the businesswoman saw the small group of undead below, she couldn't help but blink her eyes. Her bright eyes were not filled with fear, but with curiosity.
"I recognize that corpse witch," she whispered.
"Shh!"
The undead are so easy to identify, Brando just thought Roman was telling a joke. There is almost no difference in appearance between skeleton soldiers and skeleton soldiers, and between corpse witches and corpse witches, except for some differences in soul fluctuations.
This is not only true for low-level undead, but they also use their body decorations or some obvious characteristics to identify high-level undead.
"I really recognize it, Brando. I saw it from a distance last time at your house." The businesswoman said confidently.
"Yeah, keep your voice down. If we startle them, we won't be able to eat them and carry them away."
Brando narrowed his eyes. He had already seen some rustling shadows appearing in the shadows. Judging from their movements, they should be blighted beasts. After he counted thirty, he couldn't count anymore. There were too many.
And it was too dark. However, the corpse witch had not yet ordered the skeleton soldiers to extinguish the soul fire on the arrow clusters. Plants have phototropism, so he had already concluded in his mind that the opponent was a skeleton scattered on the ground.
"There seem to be a lot of things around us, Brando." Roman said.
"Well, come with me. Lower your body and don't disturb them——"
The two of them continued to climb higher, with Brando leading the way, and Roman kneeling on the rock and moving forward little by little. Now he began to feel the benefits of bringing the businesswoman with him, and she was also in such an environment.
Not panicking at all, which is difficult for ordinary people to do.
He remembered that in the game, he teamed up with some female teammates to enter some scary places, and often encountered people yelling and yelling. This was not the most embarrassing thing. What was embarrassing was that some men were like this too.
While he was thinking, he looked down quietly——
With the Corpse Witch and its several skeleton soldiers as the center, the Blight Beasts had gathered into several torrents. Kabka finally felt that something was wrong. He subconsciously recited the spell of Dark Curtain, but he saw it only halfway through the recitation.
Two dark red monsters rushed out from the cracks in the rock and tore its skeleton soldiers into pieces.
Martha, Lord Roscoe! What the hell is this? There is no need for surveillance here!
Kabuka didn't miss his subordinates at all. There was no mercy in Madara's army. Of course, the idea of preserving himself was still allowed, so he jumped up the rock behind. The corpse witch's dexterity and strength were not low.
But ordinary people are easily confused by their mage appearance.
But Brando didn't appreciate this scene at all at the moment, because he saw the corpse witch rushing towards him.
If I go, can't you choose a better direction?
He doesn't even dare to pull out the Thorn of Light at this moment. Otherwise, if he holds something like a fluorescent stick in his hand in the darkness, wouldn't he immediately become the target of public criticism?
But he immediately saw a dark red wither beast suddenly jump up and grab the calf bone of the corpse witch. Drag it downwards and sink it. At this moment, the canyon was already surrounded by wither beasts, and the skeleton soldiers were afraid that the corpse would be destroyed in the morning.
Being torn into pieces, Kabuka would immediately follow suit if he hesitated for even a second.
"Kill it!" Brando couldn't help shouting heavily in his heart.
At the same time, he felt Roman holding his shoulders tightly from behind, as if he was as nervous as he was. Everyone could see this situation. As long as the corpse witch came closer, it would probably be discovered by the withered beasts.
them.
However, the girl's breath was like orchid, which still made Brando feel a little distraught. He looked back and found that the business lady was looking in another direction.
Huh?
Brando subconsciously followed his gaze and suddenly took a breath of air.
