Chapter 72
Lars, who had entered the berserk state, was extremely brutal; almost no one on the Heaven Alliance side was his match, and the only one who could cause a containment effect was the man leading them, called 'Liu'.
Following 'Liu's' spellcasting, an earth giant rose from the ground, waving its hands and charging in front.
That earth giant was a proper earth giant, not carrying a bit of stone, just purely composed of mud, as evidenced by the big pits on the dirt road.
That giant hadn't done much after charging up before it was dismantled in a few strokes by Lars, who was waving his hand axe.
Xie Yaoyao, hiding in the woods on the side, was almost watching with his eyes popping out.
Fortunately, although 'Liu's' earth giant was a bit of a drag, his skill in digging pits was really nothing to say.
As his hands flew, big and small pits appeared on the ground; Xie Yaoyao had already seen Lars trip four or five times.
It was just that although doing this disrupted Lars's attack rhythm, it also caused Lars's anger to rise continuously.
As everyone knows, the more intense a Berserker's anger, the higher their combat power.
Soon, the Heaven Alliance's formation was scattered by Lars, and all the other Illuminati people became soft-legged shrimp, and several were also killed by the Heaven Alliance crowd.
Although the number of deaths on both sides was about the same, no one on the Heaven Alliance side could block the rampaging Lars, so 'Liu' decisively gave the order to retreat.
Although 'Ghost' was very unhappy, he also understood that if this continued, his side's people would be killed, including himself.
If people died, Vermilion Bird's order would be even harder to complete!
Wind is tight!
Run!
He was still very flexible!
Running fast in front, Lars, who was chasing and hacking behind, wasn't slow either.
'Liu' had no choice but to interfere while fleeing, miserable to the extreme.
Fortunately, all the other Illuminati people had wilted, and only Lars was chasing and hacking at a group of Heaven Alliance people.
Anger burned away reason; Lars couldn't remember how many times he had tripped, and he now had only one goal, which was to hack the guy in the gray robe to death.
The group of people went further and further away.
In place, only a bunch of soft-legged shrimp from the Illuminati were left, looking at each other with bitter faces.
Suddenly, the mud beneath these people surged, and countless spiked vines entangled the Illuminati members left in place; 'Ghost's' curse left them without any power to resist.
The spikes pierced into the skin, and life force was continuously absorbed, further disintegrating their power to resist.
The spiked vines that gained life force replenishment began to take root and grow in these people's bodies; as the root system grew, the spiked vines began to turn from green to red, becoming thicker and tougher, and life force was absorbed with several times the efficiency.
In the blink of an eye, everyone lost their lives and turned into fly ash, leaving only lush spiked vines and dropped entries in place.
Xie Yaoyao walked out of the woods by the road brazenly.
This idea of letting spiked vines take root in the enemy's body was something he had only recently pondered, and he didn't expect the effect to be so amazing.
Although he felt this was a crooked path, the power was indeed too great.
If the enemy couldn't escape the moment the vines entangled them, as long as the spiked vines took root in their body, the enemy could only wait for death as the situation grew worse.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Illuminati's berserker hadn't turned back, Xie Yaoyao collected all the dropped entries around him and happily headed toward the Viscount's castle.
【Eagle Eye Guard】, 【Disguiser】, 【Frost Resistance】, 【Wind Dancer】, 【Precision】, 【Longsword Mastery】, 【Agility】, 【Dullness】, and so on and so forth.
Killing and setting fires brings a golden belt!
Luck was really good; although most of them were green and blue entries, he didn't expect there to be a profession entry among them.
A Traveler's profession entry being exploded could only mean one thing, which was that this unlucky ghost had died completely.
Only one life left and still coming out to fight in a group battle, it could only mean that this person had a problem with his brain, and deserved to die.
【Eagle Eye Guard】, green profession entry! The most talented archers have a chance to transform into powerful Eagle Eye Guards after strict training!
【Disguiser】, green entry! When you stand still, your presence will be significantly reduced! If you add a little bit of dressing up. Congratulations, you're invisible!
【Wind Dancer】, green entry! Listen to the sound of the wind, feel the pulse of the wind! When the Wind Spirit becomes your companion, you will get twice the result with half the effort!
To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that this guy's luck was really too bad, running into 'Ghost' and Xie Yaoyao, who both used large-scale attack skills, such a skill combination would already count as an expert among ordinary Travelers.
It's a pity there are no ifs in the world; all this could only let Xie Yaoyao pick up the fallen peaches.
Walking to the end of the dirt road, a majestic castle appeared in his line of sight.
Huge gray stones were piled up into glory and vicissitudes, and there were sharp towers at the top of the castle, like swords pointing straight into the sky, with flags fluttering on the towers, the flags flapping in the wind, with the Viscount family's emblem printed on them.
On every side of the castle wall, there were soldiers holding long spears patrolling to ensure that no suspicious people could approach the Viscount's home.
A small river passed through the castle and circled it, finally descending along the mountain, obviously the craftsmen who built the castle knew how to make full use of the terrain and environment.
From Helai'er's perspective in the air, Xie Yaoyao saw that the castle's back garden was nourished by this small river.
If he couldn't enter the castle through formal channels, perhaps he could think of a way from this river.
Hmm, the patrolling soldiers on the city wall walked the one-way trip in about five minutes; as long as the speed was fast enough, five minutes was enough to run back and forth between the forest edge and the moat.
It's a way!
Xie Yaoyao timed it well and ran to the side of the moat, looking up to see that the patrolling soldiers had only walked one-third of the way.
Squatting by the river, Xie Yaoyao reached his hand into the water, natural force surging.
A water grass in the water immediately turned into a sharp sword and pierced a catfish beside it; the bottom of the river was immediately dyed red with blood, and was diluted by the river water in an instant.
Xie Yaoyao, who obtained the soul imprint, nodded with satisfaction and leaped into the river.
Shrinking continuously while in mid-air, by the time he fell onto the water surface, he had already turned into a catfish.
"Splash!"
The water surface splashed small water flowers, and then returned to calm.
Xie Yaoyao at the bottom of the water adapted to his body a little, and then swam toward the inside of the castle.
The moat and the river branches inside the castle were naturally connected, but at the bottom of the city wall, Xie Yaoyao discovered an iron fence.
Sure enough, the castle couldn't leave such an obvious defensive loophole!
The iron fence had been soaked in water for many years, and its surface was already covered with rust. But it didn't affect its ability to resist enemies from entering the castle from underwater.
Passing through the iron fence, Xie Yaoyao arrived inside the castle; he planned to dismantle the iron fence when he left later.
