The Amber Sword

Chapter 35: Act XXIV Dead Tree

The further into the valley, the more desolate the environment becomes. There is little vegetation on the surface. Smokeless highways pass through pointy stones staggered with teeth. Only dead grass grows in the cracks between the rock walls of thorny bushes. In the distant darkness there appear to be some withered trees. The cold winds in the mountains pass through branches like black smoke, making squeaky noises.

Brando knew that this was because the nutrients of the land were absorbed by the demon trees, and he raised a fire to reflect the stone walls around him, and occasionally in the shadow there were several dead bones of Whitesen, which looked like animals like goats, because they had entered the restricted area and had become food for the golden demon trees.

Roman held the torch behind her, and her handbag was holding her, somewhat nervous and curious, and she looked at it for the first time so far from home, as if the businessman's dream was about to come true from this moment on - the hardship, excitement, and unexpected wealth and treasure on the road had always been the reason why businessmen and adventurers flourished on the continent.

Besides, with Brando, she has a sense of security.

Two groups of fire crossed the canyon one after the other, Brando landed his hand on the handle of the sword, and as soon as he crossed the area in the game, he entered the territory of a monster, a withered beast.

The golden demon tree is a terrible monster, or rather a class - the golden tree species. The body may be an elf holy tree, such as a tree or oak tree, which can be implanted in the blood of God and then awakened into a golden tree - the herder is one of the major cults in the game. In this war-torn world, where the fire of civilization cannot be spread, there is not only the sequence of the dead, but also the soil where cults live. In the game, the villains like the shepherds act in mystery, leaving their figure everywhere, like a line that runs all the time, letting people know that they have a certain purpose, but nobody knows what it is.

Brando is no exception.

The golden demon tree has two abilities, the first being activated plants. It turns the shrubs on the land it controls into monsters in human form, called withered beasts. The withered beasts are like tentacles and probes of the golden demon tree, all over this canyon.

A single withered beast is level seven in the game and the fighting power is about the same as the guards Brando had seen before, but he is mentally retarded. Stronger than Level 13, the withered beast awakens Level 1 strength, which is also a tough opponent for Brando.

The second ability is to demonize the fruit. The fruits of the golden demon tree fall to the ground and split apart, giving rise to furry wildling-like creatures that grow to two metres high in a day. The children of the golden demon tree and the elite guard are spread between levels 20 and 22. Brando's only battle against them is the wind ring.

After decades of accumulation, these demons and withered beasts already have a considerable number in the canyon, and it would be impossible for him and Roman to safely cross the canyon without Brando's support. Of course, the golden demon tree itself is good. After all, it is a monster that enters the second level of power, but the young man has no intention of provoking it - he knows where it is and naturally does not approach it.

There were only two people left walking in Sasha's footsteps, and he looked a little frightened in the silence. But Brando had a familiar taste, and in the past, he was the same person with big rolls of rope, torches, oil lamps, hooks and dry grain, and followed hundreds of routes to find trouble with the golden demon tree.

The Golden Devil tree came out with 20Oz to 30Oz power gear, which was almost the best when it fell, but any player with a little skill would have chosen to do so - especially the heart of the rumored Golden Tree, which recovered 1 point of life per minute, and was an artifact in the early days of the game.

But the only difference now is that there's a future businesswoman behind her, Brando suddenly has the feeling of a girl with a heart risking in the mountains, the adventure of two people, it's quite romantic, isn't it?

“Brando?” Roman suddenly whispered a warning.

Brando turned around and noticed that the other person's eyes were on his hand, and he glanced slightly and found that the thorn of light in his hand was seeping bright white light from the sheath.

There are dead spirits nearby! He was shocked and reacted immediately, and Madara might send a small unit to monitor the area, even if it did not control it, to ensure that there would be no leaking fish. But a small unit, thinking that Brando was a little relaxed here, a few low-life spirits weren't enough for him to see, but be careful not to spook the withered beasts in the canyon.

As he pulled out his sword, the light on his sword became brighter when the Spike of Light pointed in one direction, and Brando immediately learned that the team's dead spirit was in that direction. He reached back and showed Roman a little further, then put out the torch and moved it one step at a time.

* * * * *

There is a small group of dead spirits in the canyon, but these bone skeletons are also in a bit of trouble at the moment. It was Kabuka, the corpse witch who led them, who not only freed the human scourge in Butch, but also led a colleague to send it here all the time - first to punish it for its disappointing performance, and second to remind it not to rush to be too smart in front of its boss or master.

Kabuka understands, of course, but more importantly, how to block the attack of the three-headed monster in front of him.

Initially, it and its skeleton soldiers took out a stump in the canyon, like a standing human shrub. At this moment, their kind seemed to come to the door, and there were three heads, these monsters wrapped around a pile of dead branches beneath their heads, two bright flames staring at these dead creatures, several scattered bone skeletons around them.

The battle seems to be on the brink.

What are these roots and turf? The green flame in Kabuka's orbit is bright and dark.

To see the other party launch another attack, he had to replace his skull soldiers with strong bows with stiff scalps, extract the fire of a dark blue soul and ignite a cluster of arrows, and then a wave of arrow shoots out - not expecting two dead beasts to soar into flames, quickly sizzling screams, turning into two groups of burning flames on the sand.

The corpse witch immediately made a gaggling laugh, which was stronger than the skeleton soldiers under him, but as long as it was a plant, it was afraid of fire. By the way, why didn't it think of that before? It was a mistake. Kabuka lifted his scepter and banged half the body of the last withered beast, dancing with scraps of wood.

Look at that corpse witch dancing there, climbing behind a prominent white rock Brando couldn't help but laugh, this is really a dead and alive color, dare to use magic here. Magic is one of the favorite nutrients of the golden demon tree. The golden demon tree yearns for it like a drug. As long as there is a little magic fluctuation in this area, the latter will be instantly discovered, and the corpse witch doesn't know yet, so it's a death wish.

But he also had some problems. After all, he and Roman were here, and he had to find a way to get somewhere higher, or else he would have to be buried with the dead spirits in his head.

He turned back to Romana below, and the merchant lady saw the death of the team below. She couldn't help but blink her eyes. The bright eyes were not afraid, but curious.

“I know that dead witch.” She whispered.

“Shh!”

There's so much discernment between the dead, Brando, when Roman's only making a joke. There is almost no difference in appearance between skeleton soldiers and skeleton soldiers, between corpse witches and corpse witches, apart from some variation in spiritual fluctuations, not only among lower-level dead spirits, but even their identification of high-end dead spirits is distinguished by their decorations or some obvious features.

“I really do, Brando, last time I saw it at your house, I saw it far away.” The merchant lady vowed to speak plainly.

“Well, keep your voice down and shock them. We won't be able to eat and go. ”

Brando's eyes squinted, and he had seen some shadows in the shadows that were moving forward, looking at the way things were supposed to be withered beasts, and after counting to his thirties, he couldn't count, too many, too dark. But the corpse witch had not ordered the skeleton soldier to extinguish the fire of his soul on the arrow cluster, and the plant was luminous, and he had concluded in his heart that it was a bone skeleton scattered across the ground.

“We seem to have a lot of things around us, Brando.” Roman said.

“Well, come with me. Stay low and don't freak them--”

The two men continued to climb higher, Brando leading the way ahead and Roman kneeling on the rock one by one. Now he's starting to feel the advantages of having a businesswoman, and she's not panicking at all in this environment, which is difficult for ordinary people to do.

He remembers that in games, teaming up with some of his girlfriends into some horrible spots and often encountering yelling and screaming. This is not the most embarrassing, and it is embarrassing for some men to do the same.

He looked down quietly, thinking...

Focusing on the corpse witch and several of its skeleton soldiers, the withered beast has gathered into several floods. Kabuka finally felt wrong. He subconsciously recited the spell of the dark screen, but only halfway through it did he see a monster with dark red all over his head coming out of the rock crevice and pulling its skeleton soldiers into pieces.

Martha, come on, Lord Roscoe! What the hell is this? There's no need for surveillance here!

Kabuka has no remorse for his men, and there is no mercy in Madala's army. The idea of preserving oneself is, of course, still permissible, so it jumps onto the rock behind it, and the witches' ingenuity and power are not low, but ordinary people are easily bewitched by the appearance of their magicians.

Brando didn't appreciate the scene at the moment, though, because he saw the corpse witch coming his way.

If I go, can't you pick a better direction?

He can't even pull out the Spike of Light at this moment, otherwise in the darkness he holds something like a fluorescent stick in his hand, can't he become a target immediately?

But he immediately saw a dark red withered beast jump up and grab the calf bone of the corpse witch. Dragging it down, the canyon was already surrounded by withered beasts, and the skeleton soldiers feared being torn to pieces early in the day, as long as Kabuka hesitated for a second to step right back into the dust.

“Kill it!” Brando couldn't reside in his heart and shouted heavily.

And at the same time, he felt Roman grabbing his shoulder tightly behind him, as if he were as nervous as he was, a situation where anyone could see that as long as the corpse witch leaned a little closer, it was likely that those withered beasts would find them.

However, the girl exhaled like Shen Lan, still giving Brando some heart and soul. He looked back and found that the businesswoman was looking in the other direction.

Huh?

Brando suddenly suddenly suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at it with a subconscious eye.

(PS. Psst, a new week has arrived, ask for support.

Tomorrow is the little decadent reborn demon hunter on the shelf. Legend has it that every month ticket will give him an extra chapter?
