"Can this fruit still be used?"
Picking the fist-sized translucent fruit from the low-hanging core branch, Angel looked at Alger and asked.
"It should be okay. It just consumed some nutrients in the battle just now, and the extraordinary power it contains has not been lost."
In fact, Alger was not sure whether the Black Flame had affected Fruit of the Hypnotic Wind Chime Tree, but after seeing Angel's fighting power just now, he didn't dare to tell the truth.
Putting on the "Rose Necklace" handed over by the other party, Alger felt that his lungs, which were about to cough up blood, were quickly repaired under the effect of "Flesh Control", followed by bursts of desire for flesh and blood. He even felt that the sucked piglets hanging on the dry branches became a little palatable.
When the symptoms eased slightly, he quickly took off the necklace and returned it to Angel. His eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the bone bracelet on the other person's left wrist.
That is Mystical Item made by "Dawn Paladin" Beyonder Characteristic. The Bone Sword just now was transformed from it. The Flaming Jump that rushed next to Wind Chime Tree before is "Faceless" Beyonder Ability, and the "Madness Ring" she didn't sell, and the "Magician Pocket Watch" she sold to me... How did she endure the negative effects of so many Mystical Item... Alger felt a little numb.
Not aware of the thoughts of Mr. "Hanged Man" next to him, Angel happily packed Fruit of the Hypnotic Wind Chime Tree in a cloth bag. The cloth bag that could not isolate Spirituality would gradually merge with Beyonder Ingredients, causing changes that no one could predict, but it was still safe in a short period of time.
"Keep going."
Seeing that she had finished her work, Klein looked at the direction the three of them were heading and whispered.
With the cooperation of the "sickness" tactic and "Rose Necklace", the three of them still had more than half of their Spirituality left at this time, and they did not suffer enough damage to affect the battle. No one was willing to give up exploration.
Alger nodded, took the lantern, and continued to lead the way. Angel and Klein followed one after another, quickly leaving Hypnotic Wind Chime Tree, who had no life at all.
This extraordinary tree probably corresponds to the Sequence 6 of a certain Pathway. In addition to the fruits enriched with extraordinary power, other branches and bark should also have certain Spirituality, which can be used as Auxiliary Materials or sacrificial supplies, but none of the three of them showed any nostalgia.
It may be possible to cut off a few branches and tie them to the body, but it will seriously affect mobility. The three people present are all experienced Beyonder, and no one made such stupid suggestions.
Returning along the road they had just heard the sound from, the three of them continued walking in the direction of the ruins. Angel soon discovered that the surrounding black trees had become sparse, and the crimson moonlight began to shine on Earth Mother. There was no need for a lantern anymore.
"We are almost there. After leaving the woods, we will be at the edge of the ruins." Seeing that the view was still good, Hanged Man simply put out the lantern and relied on the moonlight to provide illumination, so as not to become a bright target among Evernight. "Last time we arrived, Qilingus entered the church alone in the ruins and claimed to have found precious items inside."
Hearing these words, even Klein, who had been playing the role of Mad Adventurer, a taciturn and expressionless person, had a ripple on his face.
There is probably a "Card of Blasphemy" hidden there.
Continuing forward under the moonlight, strands of gray-white spider silk began to appear among the increasingly sparse Black Forest. They spanned between different thick tree trunks, dividing the forest into areas that were difficult to connect.
Klein controlled the flames to burn part of the road to open a path, but soon found that instead of wasting Spirituality, it was better to go around. The three of them walked crookedly through the woods, avoiding more and more spider silk. At the same time, they were alert and looked around, looking for the creatures that made these spider silks.
Even Balam Wolf Spider, which is bigger than a fist, cannot produce so much spider silk. This must be Beyonder Creature's doing. Angel is even a little curious as to whether this could be a spider web made by "Widow Giant Spider" required for the "Pleasure" Demoness formula.
Fortunately, the spiders seemed to have given up on this hunting ground. Until the three of them stood by the last few spider webs and looked at the ruins not far away, no creatures attacked them.
"It's right there."
Looking at the ruins covered with weeds and vines, "Hanged Man" sounded a little excited. Half a night of exploration and several thrilling battles finally came to fruition.
Squinting at the most intact and magnificent building among the walls and stone pillars, Angel asked:
"When Qilingus came here last time, what was it Sequence?"
"Same as me now, Sequence 7's 'Seafarer', and I had just been promoted to Sequence 8 at that time," Alger replied, frowning. Then Shu Zhan said, "Are you doubting that we were unable to get close to this place at that time? But five years ago, there was no Hypnotic Wind Chime Tree in this forest, and there were no such spider webs. There was only one Azure Shadow Falcon."
"Of course, the forest and the open space filled with Zombie have not changed, and the ruins are still the same. According to my experience, the closer you get to the ruins, the more dangerous it is. However, there are no traces of Beyonder Creature activities inside the ruins."
"Maybe that's the real danger."
Klein said calmly.
This is most likely because a powerful being regards the ruins as its own territory... Angel also thought of this. Just as she was about to ask, a dangerous reminder suddenly appeared on the heads of several people!
Subconsciously looking up, a black shadow jumped down from the tree crown. Only then did Angel realize that after going around in the spider web, several people had arrived at an open space surrounded by thick black trees. The tree crown above their heads became a natural camouflage for the sneak attackers, so that when disaster was imminent, Spirituality gave a hint of warning.
The location of the cobwebs and the behavior of relaxing one's vigilance near the exit were all expected by the sneak attacker!
A black shadow came over the head. Under the moonlight, four pairs of sharp jointed limbs were spread out like claws. The strong abdomen was as black as ink. On the small head, two compound eyes filled with dense single eyes shone with cold light.
Angel kicked off her legs and left the center of the open space, avoiding the landing point of the giant spider. Sequence was slightly lower, but Spirituality was stronger than her. Klein had also already taken action and rushed to the other side. Alger realized it later. E turned pale, and without hesitation pressed the "Magician Pocket Watch" crown he bought for 2,100 pounds, and then jumped towards Angel who summoned Black Flame to meet him, and his figure disappeared in a burst of bright yellow flames.
"Boom——"
The giant black spider's heavy body landed on the ground, and its four pairs of long jointed legs were inserted into the soil to stabilize its body. Its compound eyes glanced in the direction of Angel and the jumping Alger, then turned away and jumped in the direction of Klein, hitting it like a cannonball.
With a "poof", Klein, who had just stood up while rolling, was pierced by a pair of long sickle-like legs. The horrific corpse became thin and burned, turning into an ugly-cut Paper Figurine.
Behind it, the real Klein appeared from the flames. He raised his hands forward and snapped his fingers continuously. At the same time, he activated the Purification ability of "Sun Brooch". Air Bullet shining with golden light flew out from his fingertips, smashing the giant spider's hard shell.
Sequence 6 has been reached, and Air Bullet, which is more powerful than a large-caliber bullet, can't break the shell of this giant spider?
Suffering a sudden counterattack, the giant spider suddenly turned its head, its cold, evil compound eyes flashed red, and its huge body turned into a ball of flames in front of the three people, condensed into a long spear, and drew a bright trajectory in the night sky, flying in the direction of Angel and Alger.
What is the sound of attacking from the east to the west...
Angel was already prepared. He stepped forward with his left foot, and the ice spread quickly, forming a layer of ice in front of him. The spear slammed into the top, creating strong steam. A giant spider appeared in it, jumped over the ice, and waved its forelimbs. The target was still Angel below.
I thought you were a thoughtful predator, but why do you always choose the strongest person in the team as your opponent...
Angel smiled secretly, pointed the "Good Luck" revolver into the sky, and activated the "Mental Storm" attached to this weapon.
The rapidly falling giant spider's limbs instantly stiffened, its thoughts stopped, and it continued to fall downwards in a free fall state. However, just one second later, a trace of anger emerged from its compound eyes, and it regained its consciousness and looked down.
The deep "Good Luck" at the muzzle was pointing at its belly protected by its hard shell, and the hammer had already been broken open.
"Bang——"
Luck that had never appeared in the battle with Azure Shadow Falcon finally came here. The strengthened large-caliber pistol bullet came out of the barrel like a cannonball, passing through the giant spider's abdomen without any hindrance. When it flew out from its back, it had caused a huge wound the size of a washbasin, taking out more than half of the flesh, blood and internal organs, sprinkling it into the sky and falling like rain.
Bang, the remaining body hit the ground with impact, and the pair of compound eyes lost their luster.
"Flame Spear can also create traps. This is most likely Beyonder Creature of 'Hunter' Pathway"
"Hunter" can be seen everywhere on the sea, so the experienced Alger quickly guessed the possible Sequence of this giant spider, but there was no joy of victory on his face, but a trace of unwillingness.
He has been forced to use "Magician Pocket Watch". Although he has escaped the giant spider's ambush, he will suffer from negative effects for a full twelve hours in ten minutes. Even a trace of fire will make him terrified and lose all fighting ability.
The fighting methods of Angel and Klein are closely related to flames.
"Clean up and leave first."
After thinking for a moment, Angel took the initiative to make a suggestion.
She was suffering from the negative effects of "Magician Pocket Watch" and knew that in ten minutes Hanged Man would turn from a reasonably capable combatant into a burden that required the attention of others.
Moreover, such a large-scale spider web may not necessarily be created by this spider. If it continues to stay, there may be greater danger.
Glancing at Klein and seeing that he didn't object, Alger breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
He was a little worried that he would be "disliked" to some extent because of this incident, but it seemed that he was overthinking it...
Soon, the Beyonder Characteristic on the dead giant spider condensed into a crimson color that was clearly visible under Spirit Vision, and attached to the pair of compound eyes that refused to die. There was no time to dismantle it, so Alger simply cut off the giant spider's head with a knife and stuffed it into the cloth bag that previously contained the bait piglet.
Now that they decided to return to "Blue Avenger", the three of them no longer hesitated and immediately returned along the same path. Angel and Klein drew bright yellow or dark flames in front of them to burn away the cobwebs blocking the road, and returned to the dense Black Forest at a much faster speed than when they came.
Behind them, black shadows jumped on the towering tree crowns. They were countless black giant spiders. Pairs of cold compound eyes stared at the three people who were gradually moving away, but they cautiously stayed at the edge of the spider web trap and did not continue to pursue.
