Chapter 582 Monsters that are different from the norm

"————"

In a silent wail, the humanoid tree monster whose body was cut off fell to the ground.

"Woooooooo..."

The girl transformed from a branch cried again, which made people feel sad.

This is also a method used by the humanoid tree monster. When it is about to be attacked, it imitates the cry of the creature to arouse the enemy's sympathy and make the other party let it go.

It's a pity that it's brainless and won't understand that if its enemy can still be soft-hearted because of this method after its true identity has been exposed, then this person is either sick or extremely sick.

Of course, Li Ge is a healthy person.

Therefore, he chose to cremate the humanoid tree monster.

"[The most enhanced magic·Crimson Nova]."

When the flame magic, which caused the highest damage to a single target, was ruthlessly activated by Li Ge, a red magic circle appeared under the remains of the humanoid tree monster, and lit up as if it was ignited.

"boom!"

The next second, flames soared into the sky in the magic circle, turning into a pillar of fire and engulfing the humanoid tree monster.

The humanoid tree monster was struggling and twisting, its branches and roots were dancing wildly, beating wildly, and the ground was shaking, the walls were broken, and the movement was huge.

"You're still not dead?"

Li Ge felt more and more that something was wrong with this humanoid tree monster.

Even the fire magic [Vermilion Nova], which has the highest damage to a single target, can't kill it with one hit. Is this really a wood monster that is weak to fire?

"[The most enhanced triple magic - Vermilion Nova]."

Li Ge simply fired three consecutive shots of [Vermilion Nova], causing pillars of fire to continuously emerge from the fiery red magic circle, burning the humanoid tree monster again and again.

The already extremely hot air suddenly became even more muggy, making Liz feel thirsty and want to take off her clothes.

Under the continuous bombardment of ninth-level magic, the humanoid tree monster finally couldn't hold on anymore. The strength of its struggle became weaker and weaker, and the movement it caused became smaller and smaller. Finally, it lost all its breath and all its strength. Action, burned in flames.

The branches and roots on the ground were also burned away, leaving not even a scrap of wood behind.

When it burned to the end, there was only a red object left in the flames. It persisted until the end, until the moment when the flames went out, and then it fell to the ground.

In the maze passage that became a mess, the sound of fighting gradually calmed down.

"call……"

Only then did Li Ge let out a breath.

"That is……?"

Liz was also relieved. Just when she was about to talk to Li Ge, she noticed the red object that had persisted in the flames until the end and had now fallen to the ground.

At that moment, Liz quickly ran over and picked up the object.

"What's this?"

Li Ge also came over, looked at the red object, and asked.

"This should be the tree heart of the humanoid tree monster." Liz explained: "The main trunk of the humanoid tree monster usually has this kind of tree heart. It is the main material for making several highly effective magic potions. Some of the forging materials for magic weapons are valuable."

This is not what Marilyn told Liz, but the knowledge Liz read in the book.

As a boudoir princess who has lived in the palace for many years and is not allowed to show up casually, the most common thing Liz does besides practicing swordsmanship is reading books.

Therefore, even though the little princess looks so weak, she actually has a lot of knowledge. It can be said that she has full theoretical knowledge and zero practical knowledge.

"Is it worth a lot of money?" Li Ge became somewhat interested in this point and asked, "How expensive is it?"

"Well..." Liz was a little confused by the question. After struggling for a while, she finally said: "I remember it was mentioned in the book that twelve years ago, there was a competition held in the Kingdom of Walker in the south. The grand finale of the auction is the tree heart of the humanoid tree monster."

The so-called Kingdom of Walker is an ancient southern country that is as big as the Kingdom of Jinas and the Kingdom of Rebru.

It is the country with the longest history among the four major countries, and it is also the only country among the four major countries that has a history of thousands of years since its founding. Therefore, it is called the ancient southern country by many people.

This country also has the most strategic-level magicians among all the countries in the Akasha continent, with three in total.

Thanks to this, Lenibarn College in the Kingdom of Walker, which is one of the highest universities on the mainland along with Spreler College, has also become the most popular magic college in the continent. Every year, an unknown number of magician seedlings are sent to There, including the Kingdom of Jinas, there are many nobles who choose to send their children all the way to attend Lenibane College.

In this regard, Lenny Barn Academy also accepts all comers. As long as the students who come to register can pass the entrance examination, it will accept them regardless of which country they are from. It can be said to be a model of education without discrimination.

It is worth mentioning that the Kingdom of Walkeri is also recognized as the most peaceful country in the current Akasha continent.

Because it has not participated in a war for hundreds of years.

The Kingdom of Jinas and the Kingdom of Rebru are at war all the year round because their territories are adjacent to each other.

The last big country among the four countries, the Queen Kingdom of Thistis, was targeted by several small neighboring countries due to internal strife. Due to internal and external troubles, it also continued to fight. In terms of the degree of distress, it was comparable to the Kingdom of Jinas and Lei. The Kingdom of Bru is now bigger.

Various small countries in the mainland are also at constant war all year round. Each country is dreaming of becoming the fifth largest country and desperately wants to expand its territory.

Only the Kingdom of Walker is located in the southernmost part of the continent, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and occupies a natural geographical advantage. The only road leading to the Kingdom of Walker is occupied by three small countries, and these three small countries have already surrendered. He became a vassal state of the Kingdom of Walker and blocked all malicious intentions that were detrimental to the main country for the Kingdom of Walker.

In other words, no matter who wants to invade the Kingdom of Walker, they must first use these three small countries to jointly deploy troops on the border and flatten their lands.

Otherwise, they can only choose to attack from the sea and invade the Kingdom of Walkeri through naval battles.

However, what the Walker Kingdom is best at is naval warfare. Not to mention the vigorous development of magic fleets in the country, one of the three strategic magicians is specialized in transformation magic, and is specialized in water magic. Once at sea, that one The strategic magician known as the Overlord of the Sea will let all enemies understand what a man-made tsunami is.

Who would want to mess with such a hard nut that cannot be chewed or beaten?

As a result, the Kingdom of Wakli has become the most peaceful country in the Akasha continent. It is even threatening to overtake the other three major countries and is about to become the strongest kingdom in the continent.

At least, in the eyes of many people, the Kingdom of Walkeri is the strongest country in the Akasha continent and the well-deserved first kingdom.

Liz then mentioned this kingdom and said so.

"I remember that the heart of the humanoid tree monster that was the finale of the auction was about the size of a palm, and the final transaction price was 117,000 gold coins."

"And this piece..."

Liz looked at the tree heart in her hand, and Li Ge also looked over.

They saw that the heart of the tree was held in the palm of Liz's hand, and it could not be covered by two palms.

The size of two palms?

Isn't that twice as big as the humanoid tree heart that was auctioned for 117,000 gold coins?

How much can it sell for?

A conservative estimate is that it can be sold for about twice the price, right?

"Hurry, put this away quickly! Master!"

After realizing what a precious treasure she was holding in her hands, Liz's hands became a little weak, and she quickly handed it over to Li Ge, looking panicked, as if she didn't know that someone was going to steal her treasure.

"All right."

Li Ge followed his kindness and put the red tree heart into the storage space of the Dimensional Rubik's Cube.

Now, if I sell this tree heart, I won’t have to think about money for a long time in the future.

I originally planned to hunt monster meat and sell it for money, but I didn't expect to solve the money problem in a place like this. It's really unpredictable.

…………

Next, Li Ge and Liz regrouped and hit the road again.

As the two of them went deeper and deeper into the maze, the temperature in the maze became higher and higher. Liz couldn't help but take off her coat, looking wet, which aroused Rige's visual nerves.

Li Ge was fine.

He had the ability to resist high temperatures. Although he felt hot, he did not sweat.

Later, when Liz couldn't hold it any longer and wanted to continue taking off her clothes, Li Ge didn't just watch the girl turn into an immoral image, and cast a magic spell on her to increase her flame resistance, which finally allowed her to take off her clothes. The little princess became cooler.

Along the way, the two of them also encountered several waves of monsters.

These monsters, like the humanoid tree monsters, are all types that can be seen outside.

But the strange thing is that these monsters are also very strange like the humanoid tree monsters.

Not only are they much stronger than the same kind of monsters outside, but without exception, they have all evolved the ability to resist fire. When fire attacks fall on them, their power is greatly reduced, and they are completely unable to bring fatality to them. hurt.

One of these monsters alone can give a senior swordsman a bloody battle, and an ordinary swordsman may not even be their opponent at all.

"Are all the monsters in this ruins so strong?"

Li Ge somewhat understood why Sglanto entered the ruins twice and finally returned in embarrassment. After the exploration teams of Jinas Kingdom and Rebru Kingdom entered here, they were completely annihilated.

Probably because the monsters here are not ordinary strong, even if the sword master is here, he may not be able to get a good deal.

Fortunately, Li Ge was already an extraordinary swordsman, and he finally defeated the monsters one after another without any danger, and cut off some rare materials from their bodies that could be sold at large prices outside.

Walking and fighting like this, finally, Li Ge and Liz reached the end of the maze.
