Chapter 34: Fertilizer(1/2)
"The grey branches are there!"
Someone shouted.
In the quiet square, a white tree broke through the ground and stood tall on the glassy ground, as if it was on a mirror, reflecting its morbid growth. A fine snow was falling around it, and the vast amount of bacteria dust fell on the ground and crystallized into ashes.
Fang Zhu has never seen such a strange creature. It is just like the cruel sneer of nature towards mortals. It is there - but people are helpless. Even if they are eliminated, there will be a continuous stream of disease buds in this world.
The Raven then took a step forward, but behind him a man in a scholar's robe grabbed him, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong, Phelins?" He turned around and looked at his partner. The other party was meticulous and calm, just like the mind of the team. He always trusted the latter.
Behind the back, Fang Zhu stopped beside Merrell. He felt a strong strangeness, like something in the air that made him look in a direction - there seemed to be something refracting light, distorting the "snowflakes" falling from the sky, outlining the outline of a human figure, with a huge body, slender, as high as two stories.
Everyone in the Qihai Brigade behind him looked over at them—
When Cui Xisi saw this scene, she couldn't help rolling her eyes and wrote on the team channel: "You guys restrain yourself."
But no one paid attention to her - Al Ryan's face looked extremely ugly, "How could there be a shadow of a tree here?"
Fang Yu subconsciously raised the magic gloves, but only remembered his character and gently lowered his hand. He looked at Merell with inquiring eyes, but the person in the Silver Wind Watcher in front of him had issued a warning, interrupting the two:
"careful--!"
The human figure in the snowflake flashed slightly, interrupting Fang Yu's thinking, and he had goose bumps all over his body - monsters of this level were definitely not something Merriel and the others could deal with! But judging from Merriel and his group, it was obvious that such things should not appear next to the branches of the gray tree.
But he didn't have time to think more, a scream came from the Silver Wind Watcher, and a monster appeared behind them. The gray-white dead wood with clear texture was hidden in the mist, and its thin and long claws pierced the chest of a Silver Wind Watcher.
Its claws passed through the magic furnace behind him, so that even the shield had not had time to take effect. The thing was half floating in the air, without a head, and the position of the face should have been blank, leaving only a pair of black and white eyeballs.
There is one more!
Fang Zhu keenly realized that what appeared behind Silver Wind Watcher was not the one he had caught at the beginning. He turned around and heard a sharp friction sound behind him - Miss Knight raised her shield, and the claws that appeared out of thin air drew a spark on the shield, leaving three deep marks.
Without thinking, May threw the shield out in that direction with his backhand. The coin shield drew an arc and hit the invisible thing in the air, causing the monster to flash. The shield was just an A-level whiteboard shield, but the other party used his claws to split the shield, which still made people squint.
The Knight's eyes were calm, exchanged the hilts of the sword, held them with both hands, and made a stance to rush forward and jumped high with one step, raising the sword and slashed the monster.
Cui Xisi was a little powerless: "This is not a shield guard..."
"But Sister May uses at least the sword technique." Tianlan comforted her.
However, the monster obviously noticed the threat and tried to flash again, but a big sword behind it had already slashed across, forcing it to turn sideways, then raised its claws to block Miss Knight's sword first.
The half-sword of the hand is also a by-product of A-level, but there are at least a few attributes that are better than nothing. However, May slashed the monster's slender arm with one sword, and the blade still burst out with dazzling light. The sword body bent into a curve under the pressure of huge force, and then exploded into countless pieces.
The sword light turned into a cold wave and swept towards the monster, with a shock wavelength of nearly a hundred feet, and a conical area blowing out on the ground, and one of its arms flew high and rolled out from afar.
The cut section of the object's arm was as smooth as a mirror, and no drop of blood was flowing out. However, Arrang, who was lying on the bow and arrow, looked at the scene in a daze, forgot about the movements in his hand, and the arrow was shot out.
"Oh." Tianlan couldn't help but cover her eyes. It turned out that Miss May also had such a high level of attainment in swordsmanship.
Cui Xisi is no longer able to complain.
Forget it, she had to go there by these people.
But the expression on Fang Yu's face became serious. He saw that Miss May had almost stopped her sword. Apart from not using the long halberd and the ancient knight's abilities, he almost had a full blow. This thing could actually withstand her sword.
What level is it?
"Be careful, it was not seriously injured." Merriel reminded from the side. She did not let others participate in the battle because she understood that they were just a drag in such a situation, but she still gritted her teeth slightly - how could there be a shadow of the tree in the area where the tiled branches are?
May lost his sword, and the monster was also slashed back with her sword, but as the elf girl said, the other party's body was fading little by little, and disappeared into the snowflakes in the sky again. But Fang Yu saw this scene and threw a "fireball" in that direction-
The "fireball" suddenly exploded when approaching the side of the building on the street. The flames and shock waves disturbed the snowflakes, and the monsters had to appear again under the impact of the airflow. This time, Dalier had seized the opportunity and slashed across with a sword.
The sword energy actually brought a long thorn from the ground, and the monster was caught off guard. The arms, thighs, and calves were all pierced by thorns, and thorns like steel wrapped around it, making it move slowly.
The next moment, the giant sword cut through its chest and abdomen and divided it into two, but even so, the monster still had the power to fight and swung its claws at the Catman Miss - but Dalier looked at the other party's claws coldly and did not move.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was at this moment that a figure flashed, and almost everyone saw only the black light. Then the boy in a cloak was retracting his sword back to his scabbard. Under the shadow of the hood, the golden light was fading away.
It was like a thin line spreading vertically along the monster, and purple-black flames surged out from the cut, burning it to pieces little by little. When the wind blew, it turned into dust. However, the purple magic flames fell on the ground like a string of footprints, catching up with the box and blending into his long cloak.
"ah?"
Several candidates were shocked when they saw this scene. What moves do these two people do? What swordsman has this skill?
Fang Zhu then looked to the other side. Jita, Parker and Alisa had helped each other solve the other monster, but the lost manpower could not be recovered. The Silver Wind Watcher was killed in one encounter.
The crow flashed to the gray tree, raised his sword and fell, and cut it into several segments in three consecutive swords.
Then he came over, looked at Merell with a deep face, and asked, "Why are there any tree shadows here? That is the companion of the elite gray branches, unless someone has arranged something here in advance-"
Merell was stunned. Although the two tree shadows also made her a little uneasy, what surprised her was the other party's tone, as if she was wondering what they did. "Mr. Raven, we arrived here with you. I, I don't know what happened?"
"Is that true," Damn Crow asked gritted his teeth, "what is this?"
He stretched out his hand, and in the palm of his hand was a white tree tumor, like a heart of a wood.
"This is Holy White Oak," said the Raven, "they only grow in the courtyard of the temple, and only the unicorn girl can approach them, prune the branches and leaves of the Holy White Oak, and now you tell me, why does it appear here?"
He gritted his teeth and said, "Three of us died, and Sonne has only one chance to resurrection. Miss Merell, this is the example that your Saint will set for Silver Wind Harbor? You said that the rumors outside wronged you, so look at this?"
Merell was completely stunned. She was shocked at the tree heart and hurriedly said, "...This is not us...I promise..."
The Raven shook his head, "Miss Merell, I'm not blaming you, I can trust your character. But maybe it's not you, but there is more than a temple in Silver Wind Harbor. This matter is not over. We will report it truthfully until we find out who designed it all behind the scenes."
However, the other party still remembers who rescued them. He looked at Fang Yu and bowed slightly, "Thank you for your help. We are not people who know how to be kind but do not seek repaid. We can use our place in the future. Although we are sent, we owe you a life, but there are some important things to deal with at present."
He did not recognize that Fang Yu was actually the Saint Selected like him. Fang Yu only nodded - the situation is a bit strange at the moment. Although he thought Merriel should be innocent, the shadow would penetrate so widely. Who knows if there are traitors in the Saint Society?
However, the other party did what he said, and still divided half of the contributions into Merriel and others, and asked Merriel to stay and deal with the gray branch. After all, no one is more professional than the unicorn girl of the Saint Society.
Unexpectedly, a cooperation ended in such a result.
Although the cooperation itself was not proposed by Merell and his group, the elf girl still seemed a little lost. She knew that the other party was right - only the unicorn girl in the Temple could approach Holy White Oak.
Moreover, white trees are unique. If someone really cuts branches from the tree, then it will be known which temple it originally belongs to.
But why is this happening?
She heard that Ninimeer, among the three major disasters, was artificially born. Someone used a withered Terraca seed to give birth to the towering ash tree and brought disasters to spread around the Silver Wind Harbor. Although she was an intern saint of the temple, she was also a native of the port. People suspected that the seed was the fault of the temple, so they turned their doubts to them - and something like this happened now.
Although she is the back-up to the unicorn girl, she is essentially just a weak girl. When she thinks of her efforts, she still can't stand people's suspicion, and she can't help but cover her face and cry quietly.
Airoya was also a little disappointed. Aljang and others didn't know how to persuade him, so they could only whisper to curse behind the scenes - but this time, the Silver Wind Watcher was also a victim.
Fang Yu walked up, but he didn't expect that these tough unicorn girls also had this side. He comforted him: "Don't be so anxious. Miss Merell, this matter may not be related to the Saint Association."
"You don't understand, Mr. Erion," Merriel wiped his tears and said with red eyes, "I didn't blame Mr. Dark Crow. They said it well. White trees only grow in the courtyard of the Saint White. This matter must have something to do with the Saint Maiden. Even if it is not a direct factor, someone has neglected his duties..."
"It's not your fault that someone has dereliction of duty," Fang Rong replied. "You are not the leader of the Saints Association. You don't have to blame yourself for the dereliction of duty of others. Besides, I learned a truth from traveling in the past that there is nothing in this world."
Merriel was worried: "But as long as this matter spreads, the outside world will be even more distrustful of the saint."
"The merits and demerits cannot be simply compared," Fang Yu shook his head, a little disdainful of this trick. "Even if someone really did something wrong, people must see the right thing you did. Ahjong and others were saved by you?"
He looked at Argent: "You might as well ask them, will they blame you for what others did wrong?"
"Of course not!" Aljean replied immediately, and he even glanced at Fang Yu with some gratitude.
Merell also reacted and walked out of his despair and asked, "...what should we do, Mr. Erion?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Didn't you say that there is a point like this? It is a commendation from the Linnorel-Sangshak Council for all the warriors who participated in the fight against this disaster," Fang Rong replied, "Although you do not need the commendation, and points are of no practical significance to you, you need to use it to let more people know that the Saints Association did not do anything, and you are also on the front line of resisting disaster."
"It's better to let the action block the rumor than just defending it. Isn't this exactly what you are doing?"
Merriel was stunned for a moment.
They are indeed doing that well, but with little success.
Although there are many temples in Silver Wind Harbor, most of the only ones who join the Saints Association are the trainee unicorn girls who responded to the call of His Highness of the Princess. They are not fighting members at all and have meager strength.
Therefore, after so long, they were actually just working on the second line to do some logistics work - even if it were her, plus Alger and others, it would be quite difficult to clean up the branches of gray branches.
Sometimes I have to drag others down.
However, she worked diligently and won a lot of favor, allowing many nearby teams to know that she is like her.
But that's all.
Fang Zhu looked at her, "It's okay, I can help you and tell me where the remaining branches of tilapia are?"
He opened his palm and there was a piece of gray tree fragment. Although it was sincere to help Merriel and others, he also had his own plans - the name of the fragment was quietly stopping on the Dragon Knight system:
Ash branches.
Fang Rong was almost unbelievable when she saw this thing at first. She didn't expect that it would take no time to get it. Although he didn't understand why the withered fragments of Terraka's Heart would have the same name as the branches of the ash tree.
But as long as it is the same material, no matter what different things it comes from, it must have the same properties, that is, it can be used by him.
Now he saw that the branches that grew were no longer secondary disasters, but were living money trees.
Merell is not sure about it, but she can understand that Fang Zhu is comforting herself, and she mustered up the courage. Inviting this magician to join the team was already her greatest courage, but she didn't expect that things would go like this-
She was a little surprised. Although she didn't believe that Fang Ling could help her take down every ash branch - there were so many people here, how could they get there?
But when she thinks that the rumors about this genius magician are stubborn and unkind, it seems that the rumors are too outrageous. In her opinion, the other party is obviously a very gentle person.
And he knows many principles, such as a wise scholar.
However, when Merell thought about the outside world's view of the Holy Maiden, he understood it a little. Perhaps this is always the case in this world. Those kind people often do not get the evaluation they deserve and have to bear the responsibilities that did not belong to them.
So is the saint's crown prince, and so is Mr. Elyon.
