Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 264 The Pester

The black current surged, the bubbles bulged and burst, more and more branches and roots protruded from the bottom of the swamp, one after another brain-shaped "fruits" swayed on the branches, constantly emitting sweet aroma and Anxious call.

Because the "fruit forest" is too wide, it is really difficult to quickly find out where the monster's body is.

Even if the "Pale Bone Nail" pierces the root of the tree and destroys its extremely active vitality, the withered long beards will be quickly replaced, and new branches will continue to protrude from below, stabbing fiercely at the figure holding the bone sword.

Esther stole distance again and again, avoiding the puncture of the branch.

Going on like this is not an option. Before she gets tired spiritually, she either chooses to retreat to the previous shore, or use her luck to steal distance in the opposite direction and leave the monster's territory directly.

But what lies hidden in the darkness ahead is also unknown.

Quick fix?Can it be done?

While Esther was thinking this way, she waved the bone sword in her hand, strung three whips at one time and whipped towards her own branch, then grabbed it with her left hand and quickly stole the distance, appearing at the next short-lived foothold.

I need a little extra time.

The moment this idea came up, light spots had been flying out from under the hood, floating around Esther's body, emitting a faint light.

Esther developed a sense of flexibility like her arms and fingers. After the imprints under her eyes were difficult to hide, these light spots seemed to no longer distinguish the difference between her and "Zoya", but could be completely controlled by her...

Esther raised an index finger on her left hand, drawing a circle in the air without a trace.

The light spots gathered together, and lined up as soon as possible as if driven, and outlined a huge circle under Esther's feet, sinking into the swamp.

The previously raised branches slowly retracted, while Esther kicked hard on the top of a tree root, jumped into the air, and carefully observed the changes in the swamp from top to bottom.

After the ring fell, the movement of the tree roots outside the range gradually stagnated. Fortunately, the area delineated was not wrong. The most deadly core of this monster should be nearby, not far from Esther!

The withering and sinking of tree roots, the direction of extending and shrinking branches, the gushing point of swamp bubbles,

The light in Esther's eyes grew brighter.

Maximize the ability of the "Deciphering Scholar", so that all the most subtle anomalies point to the same gathering place!

Holding the clues and weaving threads from dots, this should be an ability she is quite familiar with, an instinctive move.

His light and gentle eyes pierced through the mud, and caught a brain-shaped "heart" with rich greenery and nearly half a meter long and wide.

The tall jumping figure began to fall again, falling towards the hunting net made of intertwined tree roots.

The incomplete "reboot" that was barely squeezed suddenly shattered.

Esther didn't expect it to last long, she stared straight at the position she sensed just now.

Even if it starts to twist and shift gradually, and instinctively wants to hide the core deeper, it will take at least a few seconds.

Not to mention that when transferring, the roots near the core must be spread out to expose enough gaps for it to pass through.

enough.

That emerald green heart was always in Esther's eyes, and she held her breath to steal the distance.

The figure in the red hood disappeared over the swamp.

In the rotten mud, in the narrow gaps where the roots of the trees are strewn, the "pale bone nail" is stretched out from a skewed angle, ruthlessly piercing through the blue-green brain.

The breath of death sticks out its fangs, tearing apart the monster's vitality.

Esther's left hand turned up, stealing the distance between herself and the top again, and her figure reappeared outside the swamp in an instant, maintaining the physical inertia of falling downward.

The bone sword pierced a branch that was waving wildly, making it calm down completely.Esther stood on the withered branches, and only when some vines approached, she picked out the sword flowers and let them float quietly on the swamp.

During the previous fight, the monster made of tangled branches was continuously sucked by the bone sword. This behavior obviously angered it, causing it to even more ferociously want to catch this rare fresh prey, and couldn't wait to produce more confusion. Sight, the "fruit" that attracts prey, hoping to influence Esther's judgment.

The result is that the overall body of the monster floated too much, and the core could not be buried back in the mud immediately. Even when Esther used "Restart" to detect the crisis, it was a step too late.

The fruits on the branches burst one after another, and the gray-white slurry sprinkled on the black swamp, continuing to emit that strange and alluring aroma.

The last vine was hanging down weakly, and when Esther was about to leave to the other side of the swamp, her "spiritual intuition" was suddenly touched.

"What's there? Spiritual material?" Esther quickly reacted, she flicked the "pale bone nail" and jumped to the direction that aroused her perception, "That's right, unlike that sea area, the monsters here are all entity."

Esther poked around with the bone sword, and then kicked down hard, revealing a hole that could be touched under the vine.

After observing for a while, she still gave up the idea of ​​reaching out to dig out, but when she bent down to observe, Esther could smell the nauseating stench beside the tree roots.

Give it a try?With this in mind, Esther stretched out her left hand to grab it.

A group of half-closed and half-released green flower buds fell into her palm, and it was as soft as a ball of wool when pinched, exuding a refreshing sweet fragrance.

What is the use?have no idea.

Esther can be sure that this is a relatively special spiritual material, at least above Sequence Six. The more specific content may only be known through divination, but observation cannot allow her to obtain further information.

However, Esther struggled with how to keep it, and in the end she just stuffed it to the side of the hood and put it inside.

This way of being close to the light spot between the hair can also effectively suppress its mutation, and Esther has no other container at hand, so this is the only way to do it now.

Except that the hood is a little heavy, it doesn't affect much. The bud is so small that it won't leak from the back.

Every time Esther advances a short distance, she will steal a little distance within sight. She was relieved when she finally reached the shore. This journey took more time than she expected.

She stopped when she passed a group of stone pillars, leaned against one of the stone pillars, and wanted to take a break.

The physical and spiritual exhaustion of this walk is only one aspect. What makes Esther feel even more exhausted is the endless loneliness like darkness.She didn't feel this way when she was walking with Ulorius and Leomaster before, but after walking a long distance alone, it was hard for Esther not to recall the wonderful conversation with Ulorius at that time.

She sighed and pulled the hood down even lower.

Esther couldn't even feel the extreme alternation of hot and cold here. Perhaps the environment was a bit cold, but the warm cloak isolated her from the outside temperature.

Frequent white lightning began to appear above the head, even the sound of thunder and wind would make people feel friendly, instead of the silence that was so long that only her own heart beat - that would easily make Esther feel that nothing existed except herself .

The monsters in the dark will make noises, but it is definitely not very pleasant. Their breathing or footsteps will only force Esther to tighten her nerves and avoid all moving shadows more carefully.

Fighting just adds more meaningless troubles, she just wants to see what is calling her, not hunting for extraordinary materials here.

Maybe "The Sun" will know what the material he got is, and Esther thinks it's good to ask him when he meets at the next Tarot meeting, or simply sell it to someone else.

I really want to sleep for a while.

Esther touched the feathery pattern on the back of her hand and remembered that her gloves were still in her satchel.

"Logan's Claw" is also inside, too bad, will Klein be affected?Although I have applied a seal with a light spot, it will lose its effect if too much time passes.Now I don't have anything that can be used for the ceremony. I don't know if the ceremony here can summon the messenger.

Just pray to Mister Fool, let him help convey this news to Klein.

With this thought in mind, Esther lowered her head and put her hands together in front of her body: "Those who don't belong to this era..."

Her voice suddenly stopped.

Something was flapping its wings in the darkness, approaching.

birds?

As soon as Esther raised her right hand, the "Pale Nail" was already tightly held in her palm.

Since stepping into this dark continent, the only thing with wings she has seen, other than her own skylark, is the white-eyed crow, of course Esther will be vigilant.

But a few meters away, the sound of flapping wings stopped. Esther just blinked her eyes, and then entered a special state of perception, closely observing the surrounding movements.

On the top of the stone pillar not far from her right hand, squatting a black silhouette of crows, made up of worm-like phantoms, it is leisurely looking down.

Esther could almost see the sly smile in those black eyes through the darkness.

This made her feel nostalgic, and made her want to kill.

As if sensing the hostility in her heart, the crow that landed on the top of the stone pillar and kept a distance said hello:

"Don't worry so much, I'm not the main body, and we don't have that much malice towards you."

Esther opened her eyes again, completely ignoring what the crow said.

The rest is interrupted, it really picks the time.Was it because he used the power of "Zoya" twice before, so he was targeted?Amon's body seems to be in control of the handle of "Zoya"...

Connect the locations between the two points to find out my course of action. If this goes on, does He know where my destination is?

Esther stood up from the ground, holding the "Pale Nail" tightly in her right hand and never taking it back. She used her left hand to grab it in a certain direction one after another, and the red cloak quickly disappeared into the darkness.

It's meaningless to stay here any longer. Before Amon's body appears, it's best to leave as soon as possible, and rush to the place where the call came before he arrives.

A sigh with a smile came from the top of the stone pillar: "Oh, I'm obviously telling the truth, why don't you want to listen?"
