Chapter 220 Cross Slash

Spiritual Way of the Ancient Tree:
"Okay, our deal is done, if you have nothing else to do—"

Its voice suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ping couldn't help asking.

"Alas," the spirit of the ancient tree said in a sad tone: "The shelter closest to us has been discovered, and everything there will be completely destroyed."

The leafy branches gently swayed.

The void showed a series of flickering lights and shadows.

"Look, these places have been deployed by Purgatory, as if they are besieging some life-and-death enemy—I haven't seen this kind of formation for many years."

Liu Ping looked up those lights and shadows.

He saw the devil city that was submerged by the water, and countless skeletons were still densely covered on the water.

In other places--

Dense forests, hills, rivers, plains, etc., there are traces of magic ants and skeletons everywhere.

All roads are blocked!

Lilith said quietly: "Liu Ping, it seems that it is difficult for us to think about it."

"It's hard to go." Liu Ping said.

"Well, I will help you." Lilith said.

The spirit of the ancient tree stared at the two of them and said, "Young man, even though my body is not here, I am still very eager to help you."

Liu Ping didn't know why, but the other party didn't say anything more.

Liu Ping quickly came to his senses.

"My lord, I don't have much money. How do you think you can help us?" he asked.

——Very sensible!
The spirit of the ancient tree said approvingly: "Take out your last [-]% of wealth, and I will give you a crucial piece of information, maybe it can help you get out of the encirclement."

"Thank you for your helping hand." Liu Ping said.

He handed out the last fortune card.

The wealth card disappeared out of thin air.

next moment.

A green leaf appeared in the void.

This green leaf exudes a misty brilliance, and gradually shrinks under Liu Ping's gaze, turning into an emblem.

"You've got the map, you must know the place 'Grey Forest Stone'." The spirit of the ancient tree said.

Liu Ping recalled it for a while, and said: "It is about seven kilometers southeast of us. It is a dry stream in the middle of a gray forest, covered with long strips of stones."

"That's right, you all have to rush there immediately," said the spirit of the ancient tree.

"why?"

"Some people escaped from the refuge—they were lucky, and they escaped the sight of the two sleepers, and are about to reach the Gray Forest Stone."

The green leaf emblem fell into Liu Ping's hands.

"This emblem can prove your identity. If you want to join those people, they will have a way to get you out of the encirclement—of course, you have to contribute to the entire team." The spirit of the ancient tree said.

Liu Ping held the emblem.

A line of small burning characters quickly appeared:

"Eternal Night Ancient Tree Emblem."

"Those who can hold this emblem must be affirmed by the spirit of the ancient tree of eternal night, and they are worthy of the trust of all beings."

——Equivalent to a proof of identity.

The spirit of this ancient tree really knows how to do business, and he will charge [-]% of my wealth for an ID card.

But at this moment, the emblem came at just the right time, just when I needed it.

"Thank you Your Excellency for sending charcoal in the snow." Liu Ping said respectfully.

"Well, I hope you can leave safely—by the way, within two hours, within a radius of [-] kilometers is safe, you must act quickly." The spirit of the ancient tree said.

"Thank you."

"Goodbye."

In an instant, all light and shadow dissipated.

Liu Ping only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and he was back in the empty tree hole again.

It's like a dream.

It's just that after waking up from the dream, I had an extra card book with a thick black cover in my hand.

Lilith stood pretty on the card book, tilted her head and said, "Liu Ping, I made you a pauper."

"I'm familiar with things like spending money and making money, so don't worry about it," Liu Ping said.

Lilith watched him cautiously, and found that he was really confident, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "Shall we leave now?"

"Go!" Liu Ping said.

The two came out of the tree hole.

Liu Ping glanced at Lilith.

Lilith said: "I haven't stayed in the card book for a long time, and now I am more used to staying outside."

"Okay, where do you want to stay?" Liu Ping said.

Lilith jumped lightly, grabbed his earlobe, climbed up little by little, then jumped again, and landed on top of Liu Ping's head.

She looked around—

Great view!

"I'll just stay here." Lilith said as if declaring.

"Okay." Liu Ping said.

Since the spirit of the ancient tree said that there is no danger at present, it is necessary to hurry on the road as fast as possible.

Liu Ping stretched out his hand and lifted it lightly, and a card book just opened appeared in the void and landed in his hand.

——Card Book: The Pair of Death.

"There is no need to stuff all the cards in the pockets of your arms anymore."

With a sigh of emotion, Liu Ping drew a card from the opened card book.

Knight mount!

Bang!
A war horse appeared in front of Liu Ping.

He looked around, recalled the map in his mind, and pondered: "It turns out that the location we are in is called Yeguo Mountain Forest."

"Why is this place called 'Wild Fruit Mountain Forest'?" Lilith asked curiously on top of his head.

"Because there are wild fruits all over the mountains and plains here, besides wild fruits, there are still wild fruits, so generally powerful monsters will not come here-this place is too barren for them."

Liu Ping explained.

Suddenly, lines of burning small characters quickly appeared in front of him:
"You are a polymath."

"You gain experience bonuses in exploration and discovery."

"Since you are temporarily out of the dangerous situation, start to calculate your experience gains."

On the Heroic Spirit interface, the "three-point upgrade method" lit up.

This function allows Liuping to upgrade his level in three ways: exploration, battle and card collection.

"You and your dog jointly discovered the devil city, and the experience value increased by 7%;"

"Your dog has been upgraded by two levels, so your experience value has also increased by 10%;"

"You found the book spirit Lilith, the experience value increased by 20%;"

"You have learned the functions of the card books held by the two sleepers, and the plot of the two sleepers, and the experience value has increased by 50%;"

"You saw the guardian of all beings, the spirit of the ancient tree, and the experience value increased by 9%;"

"You found a new location: Wild Fruit Mountain Forest, experience value increased by 3%;"

"Current experience value: 99%."

"Please continue to explore the world of Eternal Night, you are about to upgrade your level."

"Note: After leaving the 'Fool' sequence, you have truly entered the eternal night. Every level up will become more difficult, but every level up will bring you gains."

After reading all the prompts, Liu Ping sighed slightly.

In the sequence of fools, a skill can only be obtained after upgrading ten levels - and it has been weakened.

Everything in that sequence world is pre-set, and has almost nothing to do with Yong Ye.

now.

I finally came to the real eternal night!

"Is there 1% left? It seems that as long as I reach the 'Grey Forest Stone', I can use my exploration to increase my experience and upgrade to level 8."

Liu Ping said to himself.

He got on his horse, identified the direction, and shouted: "Drive!"

The war horse neighed and galloped towards the stone of the gray forest.

Time passed slowly.

When the horse arrived at the Gray Forest Stone, Liu Ping jumped off the horse and put the mount away.

He looked around.

This is probably where a stream passes by, but due to seasons or other reasons, the stream has completely dried up, revealing the long strips of stones that were originally underwater.

"This is the Stone of the Gray Forest."

Liu Ping said.

Lilith grabbed his hair, stood up and looked around.

"No one." She said strangely.

"—Maybe we arrived earlier, and those people haven't come yet." Liu Ping said.

He looks into the void.

A line of burning small characters arrived as expected:

"You found the 'Greywood Stone'."

"Your experience value has reached 100%."

"Congratulations."

"Your level has been raised to 8."

"All your attributes have increased by 1 point."

"You have acquired a level 8 knight skill: Cross Slash."

"Cross Slash: Drive the soul power, and swing forward a 'cross'-shaped sharp edge to kill the enemy."

——This is the most common attack technique for knights, and it can be used with various cold weapons. "

A battle technique appeared in Liu Ping's mind.

He closed his eyes for a moment, then suddenly frowned.

"Such a crude technique..."

Liu Ping said in a low voice.

next moment.

The whole world came to a standstill.

A line of small burning characters appeared in front of his eyes:

"You are stuck in this second."

"The ascension battle will take place in this second, and will determine your life and death."

"One last confirmation, do you want to be Yana's card and fight for her in this Ascension Battle?"

Liu Ping's thoughts were interrupted.

He suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since the Ascension to God War had been triggered——

During this period of time, I was only focused on dealing with the 'Fool' sequence, and almost forgot about this matter.

"Confirm!" Liu Ping said.

A ray of light wrapped around him, leading him into the void and disappearing.

……

In an empty arena.

suddenly.

Two rays of light fell down.

Together they turned into Liu Ping.

The other turned into a monkey covered in flames and with two heads.

As soon as the monkey landed, it looked towards Liu Ping.

"A level 8 knight? Strange... I've never seen it in the manor before. Is it an intruder? When I catch you, go to Aldrich to claim credit!"

The monkey bounced back and forth deftly, laughing and jumping towards Liu Ping.

Liu Ping drew out his long saber without hesitation, and slashed forward with all his strength!
"Cross slash? A pathetic low-level technique."

The four eyes of the monkey's two heads were full of sarcasm.

It spun around in the air and avoided——

and many more!

What flew out from Liu Ping's long knife was not the "ten" shaped soul power knife light.

This type of blade glow has a more rigorous shape, so that a hidden blade glow appears in the gap between the "ten".

The monkey was caught off guard and was slashed with a knife. There was a scream of screams in his mouth, and he backed up again and again.

It opened the distance vigilantly and stared at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping swung his saber, but didn't go forward to catch up, as if he was thinking about something.

"Was that what you were just now——Cross Slash?"

Monkey clutched his wound and couldn't help asking.

Liu Ping came back to his senses, and then said: "It's not a cross cut, it's a 'mi' cut."

"Mizi chop?" Monkey was taken aback.

There has always been only a cross cut, and I have never heard of a rice-shaped cut!
But then again...

"M" is indeed tighter than "Ten", and it is also harder to dodge.

Just now I was hiding in the gap between the "ten" characters, I thought I could rush up and tear this kid up, but there was an arc-shaped blade glow in the gap.

"Yes, just like you think, the cross cut is too easy to dodge - don't talk, let me think about how this move can be changed."

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he stopped talking to the monkey.

While pacing, he was thinking about how to continue to improve this knight cut method.
