Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 21 Rotten Dryad
The ugly monster was more than 20 meters away from him. Li Lin quickly cut out the system panel and replaced the turtle shell shield in his left hand with the black and white shield of the lost knight.

As soon as he raised his large shield, he saw this monster with arms all over his body rushing towards him in a strange posture like a strange species.

The monster leaped forward, holding the stabbing sword backwards in its front limbs, and at the same time as its body came under heavy pressure, the stabbing sword also stabbed fiercely towards Li Lin.

With a sliding step to dodge, while the big shield repeatedly blocked the weapon attacks on its right limb, Li Lin swung his big curved sword, leaving a long bleeding wound on the left side of the monster's torso.

"what!!!!"

The monster turned around and suddenly screamed like a banshee.

Frowning, Li Lin felt dizzy for a while, and the ground under his feet seemed to become soft.

The next moment, countless limbs, armed with various weapons, attacked one after another in a frenzied manner.

"Dang bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

The shields and hound tusks kept making clashing sounds of gold and iron with various weapons. Li Lin adjusted his steps while adapting to the discomfort of dizziness and unsteady steps while constantly blocking various attacks.

The monster had too many limbs, and under such an unfavorable situation, Li Lin could only block all attacks aimed at the vital points.

Scars, deep or shallow, kept appearing all over his body.

Staggering back again and again, under such unfavorable conditions, Li Lin showed a contemptuous smile.

Sure enough, even with a large number of human limbs attached, this is just a completely mindless beast.

The monster's chaotic and simple attack has been read by him in just a few seconds.

A sideways roll happened to be opposite to the direction of the monster's charge this time, and Li Lin temporarily escaped from the monster's continuous offensive.

The next moment, the monster turned around, waving its limbs at the same time, and attacked Li Lin again.

Instead of retreating, Li Lin rushed towards countless weapons like suicide.

Raising the large shield to protect the left side of the body, the hound tusks in the right hand flashed, and swung a thick circular arc from top to bottom.

[Flowing Water Sword Skill - Whirlpool]!
The heavy curved sword swung away several of the weapons.

Without dodging or dodging, Li Lin let the remaining weapons either slash his torso or pass through non-critical parts of his body.

Cao made the hound grow fangs, and with one stroke of his sword he cut the monster, which was made up of countless limbs, in half from the head to the waist.

The multi-limbed monster stopped moving instantly.

In the next second, its almost half-cut body fell to the ground.

[Holding Rune: 6485]

Li Lin lowered his eyes, pulled out a few weapons that were inserted into his body, touched the holy finger mark on his waist with his left hand, and activated [Prayer: Recovery].

As his health recovered, the wounds on his body slowly healed.

The next room is a semi-automatic wooden ladder with a lifting mechanism.

After observing the surroundings, Li Lin found that there was a thick fog in the ground not far from the window.

There was a continuous foothold about four meters below the window. He opened the map and observed the location, and decided to go down and take a look first.

After jumping down several times in a row, Li Lin descended to a very deep position and came to a place full of fog.

It was a trail full of human corpses, and because of the depth it was quite dimly lit.

There are all kinds of stone statues on both sides of the path. The stone statues are dressed in priestly and nun-style costumes, which contrast with the corpses all over the ground, forming a weird and strange feeling.

Slightly lowering the center of gravity, Li Lin stepped forward between the corpses on the ground, ready to face the battle at any time.

After walking a few steps, two rotting plague rats popped out of the mist.

Rats are very weak, but the abscesses all over their bodies and the plague they carry are a bit scary.

Li Lin controlled the distance and easily killed him with the tip of the curved blade.

After passing through a ruined wall, jump off this path, and a huge platform appears in front of you.

There were numerous bones scattered on the ground, and on the walls around the platform, the bone-white spiritual fire burned extremely quietly, without even a sound of flame bursting.

Looking around the walls, many gray and white tree-like branches spread on it.

This is obviously the boss room... Li Lin took out the ashes in advance and prepared to summon three ghost wolves.

The soul jellyfish was previously smashed by a giant light hammer with the holy attribute of the ominous ghost, and it cannot be summoned again for the time being.

The moment the three ghost wolves were summoned, Li Lin felt an abnormal vibration under his feet.

He jumped back immediately.

The next moment, a giant half-tree, half-insect (dragon?) creature suddenly broke out of the ground where he had stepped!

"Alas……"

Most of this monster's body is a worm-shaped giant tree, with blood-red moss and tumors all over the body.

It opened its bloody mouth wide, and just sneaked up from the ground, ready to eat the passing knights in one bite.

Li Lin dodged the attack in time, but two ghost wolves were eaten.

...I don't know what flavor the soul creature is.

The next moment, the long tail of the rotting tree spirit swept over at an extremely fast speed.

The only remaining ghost wolf was also crushed by this blow and dissipated into the air.

Li Lin jumped back again, dodging the attack.

Seeing the distance between the knights widened again, the tree spirit sank its head, and its worm-like body rushed forward like a snake.

Opening its bloody mouth, it was ready to kill the knight again in the form of devouring.

With a sliding step to the right, Li Lin narrowly avoided the attack, and at the same time used the hound's tusks to create a long wound.

What flows from the rotten tree spirit's wound is not tree sap, but strangely colored pink blood.

Sudden trauma, the monster let out an indescribably dull cry, turned around and smashed at Li Lin with its huge jaw.

Giant creatures are trouble...

Li Lin continued to retreat sharply while thinking.

This monster also had two tree-like forelimbs. After the jaw attack failed to hit, the forelimbs swept again.

After Li Lin's observation during this period, he found that although the monster's body was huge, its attack was not heavy enough to be devastating.

Especially compared to his body, its two forelimbs were considered slender.

With both feet firmly on the ground, knees slightly bent, and the shield slightly tilted, Li Lin raised the turtle shell shield and blocked an attack from its left foreleg.

Sure enough, it can be prevented!
Li Lin took the opportunity to hold up the giant curved blade.

[Flowing Water Sword Skill - Flying Flow]!
One limb of the rotten tree spirit was cut off, and it neighed in pain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Lin stepped on the ground and rushed towards it quickly.

With a slap of its right limb, Li Lin suddenly stopped and turned around in front of him, and swung out his sword in a round dance.

A long and deep wound was drawn on the monster's tree-like torso, and pink blood spurted out immediately.

Worried that the blood was poisonous, Li Lin backed away again and again.

The monster's body shook violently, and the tree-like torso emitted golden flame-like rays of light everywhere.

It screamed wildly, and golden flames spurted out from its body.

It slapped the ground heavily, and flames spewed out from the ground near its body.

Just backing back again and again at the previous moment, Li Lin just avoided its sudden attack this time.

This is the second stage?
