Like a poisonous snake hiding in the grass, a black shadow burst out of the dust and pierced the walnut vest.
"careful!"
Downton sprinted hard, but immediately felt a black shadow wrapped around his ankle. He did not care about his own safety, but continued to charge, and the golden dragon gun was fired.
Three iris-shaped soul shields popped out, but the enemy's attack was too weird.
Hutao was concentrating on sniffing the air to find the source, so she didn't notice the sneak attack. However, she was a natural fighting genius. When she heard the strong wind behind her, she instinctively pounced forward and slashed with her backhand.
The rope-like black shadow seemed to have wisdom. The moment it was hit by the tomahawk, it twisted and changed its direction and hit Hu Tao hard on the back.
boom!
Hutao was knocked out and hit the wall of the cave, causing the gravel to peel off.
The black shadow continued to pursue him, but Downton was there. With all his strength, his warhammer hit the dirt where the black shadow had sprung out.
boom!
The blasting effect was activated, and a large crater was blasted out of the ground. Sparks flew everywhere, and the black shadow swayed and was overturned by the impact.
"Big brother!"
Hu Tao jumped up and saw Downton being pulled up by a black shadow wrapped around his feet, and then he was thrown to the ground.
boom!
The black shadow didn't stop, hitting Downton back and forth, making the surrounding cave walls roar and rocks scatter.
"Big brother!"
Hutao shouted again, anxiously trying to rescue her, but was blocked by the black shadow that struck again.
"Defense, leave me alone!"
Downton was hit so hard that he was out of breath and a little dizzy. Fortunately, the hellfire was hard enough, otherwise his head would be bloody and his bones would be broken.
Roar!
Exhaling and raising his voice, Downton roared out the Horn of Heaven, and then, while he was being smashed to the ground, he blasted out his giant iron fist.
boom!
His whole arm was stuck in the soil, up to his shoulders, and he stabilized his body.
Without Downton's instructions, the elemental arm handed out the Shattered Head and Hundred Splits.
"Go to hell!"
Downton took it and hit the black shadow with an axe. After all, it was a legendary weapon. The black shadow made a snap sound and broke into two pieces.
"Be careful, it's not a monster!"
Downton roared. The black shadows were not affected by the sound wave control technique and were still waving wildly. Their attacks were very strange, like poisonous snakes spitting messages. The soul shield could not stop them at all.
Hutao was impatient, and after hiding for a few times, she began to resist the black shadow's attacks. This was her fighting style.
Downton dodged dexterously, wielding two weapons, and protecting his body from the wind. He finally discovered that the black shadow usually launched an attack close to the ground.
The black shadow whipped the hellfire, causing sparks to fly out of the steel. There was a constant crackling sound.
"Find the true body!"
The black shadow seemed to grow out of the soil. Downton carried the attack and rushed to the root system. He hit it with a heavy hammer.
There were a series of explosions, soil was splashed, and the cave walls seemed to be shaking.
The enemy's offensive disappeared, and Downton took Hu Tao and temporarily retreated.
"do you died?"
Hutao opened his eyes wide and looked around, but found nothing.
"Probably not." Downton was depressed. He hated assassination-type enemies the most. He was not afraid of a head-on confrontation, but a sneak attack from behind made him feel like he couldn't use his full strength. "Homer, what do you think?
?”
"What attacked you just now was a vine, so it should be some kind of plant monster that has turned on its wisdom!"
Homer's answer gave Downton a headache.
At the same level, plant-type monsters are far more difficult to deal with than Warcraft-type monsters, and they also have an important attribute, that is, they are difficult to kill. If the main body is not found, it will be useless to kill many vines and leaves.
"Do you want to continue exploring?"
Homer noticed Downton's hesitation and reminded him, "Don't ask, all the Krupps who explored the cave before must have been killed by it."
Downton nodded. Hundreds of years ago, even the most powerful Krupp couldn't survive. A bastard like him would be destined to die.
"Wutao, let's go!"
Downton turned around, but the little Loli stepped forward, startling him, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong? Isn't the discussion over? Then leave quickly. If you go late, you may be robbed of your treasure." Hu Tao's eyes were bright, full of the excitement of searching for secrets.
Downton was stunned for a moment, and then he stopped laughing. What happened to him? He was just retreating when he encountered a surprise attack. This is not what a man should do.
"That's called caution!"
Homer wanted to roll his eyes, why are you comparing yourself to a child? With Hu Tao's carefree personality, I'm afraid he would touch the steel knife curiously a few times when it was hanging above his head.
"Keep going, let's take another look. We have Firebirds anyway, so what are we afraid of?" Downton walked in front of Hu Tao and asked her to point the direction.
With the little Lolita's sensitive sense of smell to find the way, the two of them never went wrong again. As they continued to advance, the black shadow's attacks became more and more intensive.
Downton finally saw its true face. It was a kind of vine, like a grape vine, all black, and covered with plant tumors and sharp barbs. If it were hit by this thing without wearing armor, it would definitely tear off a piece of it.
Big chunks of flesh.
In addition to these, there are also small holes on the vines, which secrete a mucus that can cause itching, ulceration, and many skin diseases when it comes into contact with the skin, which can lead to poisoning and coma.
Downton and Walnut's physiques were much larger than ordinary people's, and their bodies were covered in hellfire, so they finally escaped danger.
"The fresh smell is very strong, I guess it's almost reaching its lair!" Hutao was very excited, sniffing around.
"Yes, the Fountain of Life is a rare treasure. This kind of plant monster will definitely be born near it!" Homer was also very excited. Even if it has existed for tens of thousands of years, people who don't have the opportunity to see something like the Fountain of Life will definitely not see it.
No, because the quantity is too rare.
As the intruders approached, the demonic vines also sensed the danger, and their attacks became more frequent, more intensive, and stronger.
In the narrow cave, the number of vines increased to more than a dozen, making it impossible to dodge completely and could only stand firm.
"Didn't you say that killing the vines was useless?" Hu Tao was puzzled, "Why don't you rush over?"
"Idiot, Downton is trying to ensure a retreat. This demonic vine has existed for at least a thousand years, and you can't defeat it at all. So what he wants to do is steal some spring water." Homer hated iron, "If there are these vines entangled,
Your legs will be tied up."
"oh!"
Hutao answered casually and fought hard. She would not think about these problems. It was too taxing on her brain. Anyway, with her big brother here, he would do everything well.
Seeing the little loli's performance, if Homer had any blood, he would definitely vomit it all in anger.
Phew! Phew!
There was the sound of breaking wind and occasional explosions in the cave. Hutao thought it was a monster coming and opened his eyes wide to watch.
"It should be the Firebird!"
Downton guessed correctly. The Firebird struck like a shooting star. Flames filled the sky wherever it went, and the vines were instantly ignited and gradually turned into black ashes.
"It's not easy, I feel a powerful presence!"
The firebird landed on Downton's shoulder and combed its feathers. Its color was a little dull, obviously after a battle.
Downton felt a chill in his heart, which could make even Firebirds fearful. That meant that the opponent was at least a super-powerful person, and as he advanced, he discovered that the enemy's offensive had increased in intensity several times.
"I, Di Polo, you must have attracted most of the firepower just now, otherwise we would never have gotten here." The corners of Downton's mouth twitched. The entire passage was heavy with vines and twisted horribly. There was no place to stand at all.
"Do you want to withdraw?"
Firebird asked.
"I can't afford to lose that person!"
Downton chopped hard.
"Haha, it's exactly what I want. I want to see what dares to block the way of my first element."
The firebird let out a long laugh, then turned into a meteor and flew away. Its whole body burned with raging fire. All objects it touched turned into ashes.
The fire power of Salomanda is fully activated, and the original fire source is activated and burns all things.
"Follow me, you are not allowed to act without my order!"
Downton charged to follow, he couldn't waste the Firebird's efforts.
There is no need for walnuts to lead the way. As the most original fire element, Salomanda has a natural induction to any water system. At this distance, it has found the breath of the fountain of life.
After running at full strength for fifteen minutes in the scorching hot cave, Downton's vision suddenly opened up. A natural cave appeared, the size of a football field.
The place is full of wild grasses and flowers, and the cool breeze blows, like a paradise.
"spring?"
Hutao screamed, and there was a palm-sized spring pool at 10 o'clock in the flower garden, with sparkling waves and a gleaming green luster.
The clear spring water has no source and no destination. It is like a pool of stagnant water, but it is as green as amber and exudes the breath of life.
After entering the cave and breathing the moist air here, Downton immediately felt his body relaxed a lot, but he did not dare to be careless, because next to the spring, there was a towering ancient tree that could be hugged by more than a dozen people.
Puncturing the top of the cave, there are thousands of vines hanging down, deep into the soil.
The life of the ancient tree is too long, but the terrain here restricts its growth and reproduction. It can only reach farther places by cooling its root system through the soil.
"It's actually a magic vine. It looks like it's ten thousand years old."
Homer lamented that the hot lava secret realm was not suitable for the growth of magic vine at all. If it weren't for this spring water and this underground cave, it would have died long ago.
As if to warn the intruders, thousands of vine branches hung down, like fishing nets, ready to catch these three prey.
The magic vine does not eat meat, but it can bury the corpses of these invaders underground as fertilizer.
"Do you want to fight?" Hutao was eager to try. She forgot about the spring water and thought about killing the magic vine. "My brother likes books. If I make him a bookshelf, he will definitely praise me."
Downton smiled bitterly, super beasts, if it weren't for the fire bird, which happened to be the element of fire and was born to suppress all plants, they wouldn't have been able to get here. He originally wanted to steal some spring water, but looking at the vines as dense as fishing nets, he was helpless.
.
"Come together and burn this oasis!"
When the Fire Bird saw that the other party ignored him, he became angry. After all, it was also the God of Fire in the secret realm, but it was just a magic vine. It was really intolerable that it dared to neglect itself. (To be continued...)
