From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

After dealing with the Horned Demon Undead Wizard, the Skeleton Sea that was originally surging like a tide immediately lost control and shattered into pieces on the ground.

Without the siege of the Skeleton Sea, the escort team was under much less pressure and turned back to deal with the Blood Demons.

This team of Blood Demons was summoned by the Abyss, and each of them was very powerful.

If there were only the Elf Guards, facing such a Blood Demon, there might be a danger of extinction.

With the participation of human superpowers, the attack of the Blood Demons was withstood.

Lu Heng raised his sword and killed into the Blood Demons, going in and out seven times, as if he was in an empty space.

Every time he drew his sword, he would take the life of a Blood Demon.

Most Blood Demons would choose to self-destruct and release scarlet blood when they were seriously injured and dying. The blood mist would splash more than ten meters, and anyone who came into contact with it would be corroded by the toxins of the scarlet blood.

Therefore, as the Blood Demons were reduced in number, elves and humans began to be injured.

Lu Heng hid in the shadows many times to avoid the scarlet blood, killing the blood demons so that their heads rolled and the blood mist filled the sky.

A series of kill data emerged, and the energy data was refreshed on the screen.

[Kill the blood demon recruiter and absorb 3000 demon energy. ]

[Kill the blood demon recruiter and absorb 3500 demon energy. ]

Lu Heng accumulated enough energy in the killing, and rolled up the energy tide in his body, breaking through the level limit.

[Source energy level increased to level 36, all attributes +4, agility attribute additional +1.2]

Rift Slash, Dragon Breath Slash, Wind Dragon Absolute Breath Slash, the big moves were played one after another, and the blood demons began to show signs of defeat.

More than 20 blood demons released defensive skills at the same time, but they could not withstand the powerful destructive power of Rift Slash and Dragon Breath Slash.

After the Wind Dragon Absolute Breath Slash rolled more than a dozen blood demons into the sky, the blood demons were defeated head-on and began to flee in all directions.

The human psychics and the Elf Guards continued to hunt down the Blood Demon.

At this time, a human psychic quietly withdrew from the battle circle and approached the box on Eric's mount, with greed in his eyes.

He quickly made a decision and reached out to press the box to open it.

At this time.

Another human psychic pressed the box almost at the same time. The two looked at each other and saw the greed in each other's eyes.

The former waved his knife to force the latter back, then broke the box with a punch, and wanted to reach in to take out the Moon Well water inside.

At this time.

Su Muyu, who had been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, discovered the actions of the two people and shouted: "What are you doing!"

Seeing that the matter was exposed, the two stopped attacking each other and wanted to take out the Moon Well water first.

Just as they reached into the box, the Chongming bird swooped down and knocked the two to the ground.

One of them cursed, "Why are you pretending to be so noble? Who doesn't want the spring water that can improve skill levels? Whoever gets it will get it."

The two rushed to the box again, but before they touched the box, a figure flashed in front of them, and Lu Heng had already blocked them with a sword.

The two gritted their teeth and cursed, "If you don't want it, just get out of here. Why are you stopping us?"

Lu Heng's face was as gloomy as water. He had already held a meeting to remind these people before, but he didn't expect that someone would still take the risk.

In fact, knowing that the spring water of the Moon Well can improve skill levels, anyone would be tempted.

Lu Heng is no exception.

Although you can use [Divine Evolution] to upgrade skills, it requires the consumption of divine energy.

If you get the Moon Well Spring Water, you can directly upgrade your skills, which is equivalent to a large amount of divine energy.

Therefore, Lu Heng was also tempted, but he had to have a scale in his heart about what he could take and what he couldn't take.

Besides, even if he wanted it, it was not the way they did.

"Do you think you can get the Moon Well water if I don't stop you?"

Lu Heng reached into the box, took out a crystal bottle, held it in his hand, shook it, and shouted: "Look carefully! Is there anything in it? I have already warned you, why do you still want to do it? Why are you so stupid!"

When the two saw the crystal bottle in Lu Heng's hand, their expressions froze, their bodies softened, and they sat down on the ground.

Because the crystal bottle in Lu Heng's hand was empty, it didn't even contain ordinary river water.

In fact, Eric didn't even look at the box since the battle broke out. It was obvious, but he didn't expect that someone would fall into the trap.

After the battle, Fiona returned and ordered the Elf Guard to capture the two people.

Lu Heng opened his mouth to say something, but finally held back.

The two superpowers who wanted to rob the Moon Well water were not among the 16 people in the team, but two of the other 4.

The superpower warriors who came from the military sequence were still well disciplined and held back their greed.

Fiona asked her men to take the two psychics away and prepare to take them back to Kolos City for disposal.

This time, the attack of the blood demons was repelled, and more than 30 blood demons were killed.

Since everyone participated in the battle, they were judged to have participated in the killing.

Therefore, the psychics who participated in the mission completed the first challenge mission and killed 20 Abyss Summoners.

After the battle, the escort team continued on the road.

This time the team was much faster and arrived at the Moon Shadow Forest a day later.

After arriving at the Moon Shadow Forest, Fiona took out the Moon Well spring water and gave it to the forest elder Seren.

Seren held the spring water, walked to the fence wall, and used the spring water to water the seeds in the soil.

He was very frugal when using the Moon Well spring water, and he watered it drop by drop.

Fiona stood behind and asked: "Elder Seren, how is the progress?"

Seren looked calm: "We are still working hard. We can currently delay the pollution of the abyss, but we have not yet found a way to purify it."

In fact, on the day he was teleported to the Moon Shadow Forest, Lu Heng saw that this forest elder of the Elf tribe was trying to purify the abyss through the vitality of the trees.

In other words, he is looking for a way to purify the trees in the forest.

Dots of black stains appeared on the giant trees in Moon Shadow Forest, which were traces of pollution from the abyss.

After traveling to many parts of the Quel'dorei world, Lu Heng found that the world was very polluted, and Moonshadow Forest was relatively lightly polluted.

At least the trees in the forest can still grow instead of dying in the pollution of the abyss.

This should be attributed to Seren's efforts. He should have found a way to delay the pollution of the abyss, but he has not yet found a way to purify it.

"Is the Queen okay?" Seren stood up after pouring the water and asked about the Queen's current situation.

He was Queen Oriana's teacher. He could have called her by name, but he still called her Queen.

"The Queen is very nice and asked me to greet Elder Seren." Fiona nodded in reply.

"The things for Elder Augustus are ready. Come in with me to get them." Seren said and turned around and walked into the tree house.

Fiona followed into the tree house and didn't know what she was getting.

Lu Heng stood under the fence and heard their conversation, but did not follow them. It was very rude.

…

The escort team was very tired after two days of traveling, so they rested for the night in Moon Shadow Forest.

night.

Su Muyu got up in the middle of the night, walked into the forest, and came to the ancient knowledge tree space again.

She stood in front of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, stretched out her palm, and released the Tree of Life Vine, helping the Ancient Tree of Knowledge repair its wounds for the second time.

"There are still eight days, I will come back then." Su Muyu promised.

"I've seen it a long time ago. The fact that the Tree of Life can accept you means that you are different from other humans. I believe you will come back." The Ancient Tree of Knowledge seemed to be sure of this.

Su Muyu remembered something and asked: "I was too nervous when I came in last time, so I didn't ask a few questions. I only remembered them after I left.

"Last time you said that the tree of life on my body was incomplete. What did you mean?"

The Ancient Tree of Knowledge was silent for a long time before replying: "The Tree of Life vines on your body are only a fraction of what those few humans took away."

Su Muyu immediately raised her eyebrows and asked: "You mean, the team that took away the Tree of Life Vine still had the source of the Tree of Life Vine on their hands?"

"Yes." The ancient tree of knowledge gave an affirmative answer.

"If this is the case, after I go back, I will try to continue looking for the Tree of Life, but it will be very difficult. The team that took away the Tree of Life is a very powerful and mysterious organization." Su Muyu thought in her heart I've made a decision, but I won't be in a hurry to do it.

After all, the opponent is the Creator Organization, and they don’t even know the background of this organization. Recovering the Tree of Life is not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

"I believe you can do it, child." The voice of the ancient tree of knowledge was distant and kind.

…

After seeing the ancient tree of knowledge, Su Muyu left the space of the ancient tree and returned to the tree house to rest.

She was lying on the bed, not feeling sleepy.

Rest with your eyes closed, thinking about when it will dawn.

Near dawn, a shrill scream suddenly came from the Moon Shadow Forest, waking everyone up.

Su Muyu opened her eyes suddenly, and the Chongming Bird had already flown out, flying towards the direction where the scream came from.

The others jumped out of bed and rushed out of the tree house.

"Everyone gather together and see who is missing." Lu Heng ran out of the tree house and called everyone together loudly.

Lin Zeyu soon replied: "Xie Shien is missing!"

Lu Heng looked around, and sure enough he didn't see Xie Shien. Everyone else was there.

This time.

Su Muyu's face turned pale and her voice trembled as she said, "We found Xie Shien. The scream should have come from him."

"Where?" When Lu Heng asked, he was already running in the direction where the scream came from.

The others quickly followed.

When he rushed to an open space in the forest, he saw Xie Shien being pierced through the chest by a thick branch and nailed to the ground. Blood flowed from his mouth and formed a pool of blood on the ground.

Lu Heng rushed over, stretched out his hand to test the pulse at his neck, and then shouted: "There is still a pulse, please help!"

But the chest was pierced, and the injury was a bit serious.

Lu Heng didn't have the ability to deal with wounds, and he didn't dare to move the branch that pierced his chest.

In this case, if you pull out the branches, you will die faster.

Su Muyu hurriedly followed up, released the tree vine of life, wrapped it around the wound, and stopped the bleeding first.

Then, Seren slowly stepped forward, squatted down to check the situation, released life magic to help treat it, and then slowly pulled out the branch.

"You won't die for the time being, but the injury is very serious and it will take some time to recover." Seren put his palm on Xie Shien's chest and also used the tree of life vine to help him sew up the wound.

Lu Heng frowned and didn't understand what was going on.

This time.

Xie Shien's closed eyelids moved twice, and his lips also moved.

Lu Heng lowered his body, put his ear to his mouth, and said, "I'm listening, what do you want to say?"

"Protect...protect...lost...lost..." Xie Shien used his last strength to say something vague, and then passed out.

The voice was very weak and intermittent, but Lu Heng already understood what it meant.

What he wanted to say was: the phylactery was lost.

The phylactery is lost!

In other words, his attacker's goal was to steal the phylactery.

Who wants to snatch the phylactery?

Is it some lich?

Or is it the "unknown force" in the main mission?

Or is it the mysterious killer who appeared before?

But why can this attacker attack in the Moon Shadow Forest?

Numerous questions suddenly appeared in Lu Heng's mind, but the top priority now was to take Xie Shien back to the tree house to recover from his injuries.

While thinking about these questions in his mind, Lu Heng gently picked up Xie Shien and put him on the bed in the tree house. After checking the wound to make sure there was no further bleeding, he turned around and walked out of the tree house.

Everyone gathered in the open space in front of the tree house because this thing was a little weird.

If the attacker is still there, the remaining people may also be in danger.

After Lu Heng paced back and forth and thought for a moment, he looked up at Serien and asked: "Elder Serien, although I want to believe you, I remember you said that the trees in this forest are your eyes, but This happened in the forest, how do you explain it?”

Seren looked calm and replied: "The statement that the trees in the forest are my eyes is actually not rigorous. To be precise, the trees in the forest are alive.

“They are all alive and they talk to me and tell me interesting things happening in the forest.

"If they hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have known what was going on. I really didn't know what was going on until the screams came."

Lu Heng agreed with his explanation, but this did not rule out his suspicion.

However, if he is regarded as a suspect, this matter cannot be investigated.

Serien is the elder of the elves, and the elf guards who escorted the Moon Well Spring this time will definitely listen to him.

In other words, if Serion is the attacker, then he has the ability to kill everyone here.

Therefore, if you want to find out about this matter, you must first assume that he is not the murderer.

Even if Seren is excluded, the matter is still serious.

Lu Heng looked at everyone present and was thinking about a question.

Is this attacker among the elves and humans here, or is it from outside?

If the attacker is among the humans and elves here, the range is actually very small.

Because this attacker needs to avoid Seren's eyes and ears, and has the strength to seriously injure Xie Shien. His combat power and level are very high.

Lu Heng knew Xie Shien's ability very well. If he competed head-on, someone might be able to defeat him, but it would not be that easy to keep him.

Therefore, among the humans and elves here, the only ones who have the ability to seriously injure Xie Shien, except Lu Heng himself, are basically Fiona and Seren.

Eric, the captain of the Elf Guard, may not even have this ability.

When he was attacked by the Abyss Recruiters before, Lu Heng had seen Eric fighting, and he was quite capable.

In a head-to-head fight, he should be able to defeat Xie Shien, but it would be very difficult to severely injure Xie Shien.

Moreover, if Xie Shien wanted to escape, he should not be able to intercept him.

In other words, if the attacker is here, it will basically only be Serien and Fiona.

Of course, there is another possibility, which is to work as a team.

Lu Heng took a deep breath and asked: "Everyone, in order to confirm whether the attacker is among us, please submit your alibi from last night. Check each other to see if anyone has been out in the middle of the night."

This is a normal process. Supervise each other, confirm the alibi, eliminate suspicion, and then work together to find the real murderer.

Everyone discussed among themselves, and some people raised their hands.

The person who raised his hand was Tao Yalun. He took the initiative and said: "I went out to relieve myself last night. I was out for about ten minutes and I came back soon."

Chen Zihang answered: "I can prove this. I woke up when he went out, and he didn't go out for long."

Later, an elf warrior reported: "I saw a man entering the forest last night."

"who?"

The elf warrior pointed at Su Muyu and said, "She, she entered the forest and left for a long time."

Su Muyu nodded and admitted, "Yes, I must have been away for more than an hour."

When he said this, he immediately attracted the suspicion of many people.

Su Muyu quickly added: "I went to the ancient tree space. I can't lie about this. Elder Serien only needs to ask the ancient tree of knowledge to find out."

It didn't take long for Seren to nod and confirm: "Yes, she went to the ancient tree space."

In the end, only Therian and Fiona failed to provide an alibi.

Because they both had separate treehouses to rest in, they had no contact with other people last night.

After a round of investigation, things were back to square one.

Lu Heng looked back at Xie Shien, who was unconscious in the tree house. He took a deep breath and wanted to find out more about the matter, but the information was too messy and he couldn't clearly see what was going on.

There is only one piece of information that can be determined at the moment.

The attacker's target was the phylactery.

Another phylactery.

This phylactery has attracted many attacks in succession.

Unknown forces, mysterious killers, and tonight’s attackers.

Are these three the same?

In addition, there is another possibility.

The scale of the humans recruited this time is relatively large, with more than 50 people.

Among them, there may be a team of the Creator Organization.

In other words, if there is a team of the Creator Organization here, once they know that Xie Shien has a phylactery, they will definitely take action.

Lu Heng carefully recalled, how many people knew about the information about the phylactery?

In addition to the three people in his team, the only ones who knew that Xie Shien had a phylactery were Queen Oriana and Fiona.

In addition, there is another key information.

This attacker has the ability to act in the forest without letting Seren know.

Lu Heng looked at Seren again and asked: "Elder Seren, what kind of existence can act in the forest without being discovered by you? Is there anyone here who can do it?"

Hearing this question, Seren fell silent, and replied after a moment: "If this is the question, the arcane masters and magic warriors who master advanced natural magic in the elves may be able to do it."
