The medal on Po Feng's hand was that of a high-ranking member of the Holy Order. When the Adventurers saw the medal, their eyes filled with respect, as it represented that this Saint had made contributions in the battle against the Disguisers.
The Disguisers and the Dark Holy War are an unerasable scar, and what's even more terrifying is that the Disguisers have not yet been eradicated.
"I know the three of us have little influence, but that one..."
Po Feng pointed at Ye Lin, who was about to climb the mountain, gathered his strength, and shouted with an extremely loud voice: "Have you heard of an Adventurer who fought the Light City Lord to a draw? That's him, he said it, there's a fire seed!"
The people who were still hesitating, after a brief moment of shock, scattered like birds and beasts, quickly running into various parts of the surrounding forest.
So it was what the big boss said! The big boss is strong and knowledgeable, he wouldn't lie to us. Besides, they had all witnessed the danger of Lotus, so they believed it, they believed it, and went to look for the fire seed.
At the same time, a surge of anger rushed into the hearts and minds of every Adventurer. Everyone came with the purpose of exploring the ruins, and yet someone wanted to ignite the Tree Spirit Jungle and wipe them all out!
Which bastard is this?
Po Feng did not explicitly state that it was the Imperial Knight Order. Firstly, whether there was a fire seed was still an unknown. Secondly, as long as the fire seed was truly found, intelligent people would quickly be able to deduce who did it.
"Boss, how do we fight these thick tentacles?"
Saying it is one thing, but actually doing it is another. These tentacles, which are even thicker than the airship donier, make people gasp when they look at them.
"How big of an iron plate would it take to cook these tentacles?" Mai Lu mumbled softly.
"Rush in front of Lotus, and then I'll use Fifth Element to collapse the temple on Lotus's body, letting Luo Zong come out and get some sun."
All the buffs and shields were stacked on Mai Lu. Mai Lu's small shield had an extremely strong force-draining effect. Among the people present, only Mai Lu and the Nen Shield could forcefully collide with Luo Zong.
"I seem to have a sister whose defense is very strong."
Mai Lu held her small shield in front of her. In her hazy but very real memory, she seemed to have a sister who mastered the power of holy light, a pure, wingless angel.
"Mai Lu, how many sisters do you have?"
Siate couldn't help but ask. In Sky City, Mai Lu once said that she had a sister who seemed to be able to summon dragons, and it seemed like there was more to it than that?
"Hmm... I can sense three, but there should be more, but I don't know their names."
Hey!
Mai Lu kicked away a believer who hadn't turned into an octopus yet, so there was still a possibility of saving him; there was no need to kill him.
"Fragile nature will turn to ashes under darkness. The will of the gods cannot resist the darkness of eternal night."
Lotus quickly discovered this The team heading straight for him. He had seen many Adventurers and was not surprised, but the interference emitters on their wrists were not so simple.
After transferring to the Tian Wei Giant Beast, it manipulated its followers to search for all possibly useful items, and finally found a "book of prophecy."
The prophecy stated that it would die on the back of the Tian Wei Giant Beast, killed by a group of Adventurers, by a group of sharpened blades, by the holders of the interference emitters.
The time of the prophecy seemed to have arrived...
Siate slashed out three sword qi, leaving three wounds on the huge tentacle. The weakened tentacle almost broke off a section because of it.
Little did Siate know that she herself was even more surprised. After meeting Ye Lin, she had gained all the benefits, and both her strength and equipment had improved by a level. She was confident she could cut rocks of the same volume into pieces, but now she only had this much result?
"I can't imagine how terrifying this big guy would be if it were in the sea."
Isha Dula summoned a scorching sun, which slowly approached the palace in the air. The intense heat scorched the skin of Lotus's tentacles. Dryness and fire were its eternal fatal weaknesses.
"What dominates your bodies? What do you intend to achieve with those bodies?"
...
Ye Lin could barely deduce that Luo Zong was probably referring to Mai Lu with the first sentence. As a part of the primordial darkness, he recognized Mai Lu's true identity at a glance.
But then he was bewildered by the subsequent words. What dominated the body? Physically speaking, it was bones, blood, muscles, and so on. More profoundly, it was the soul. But who knew what that meant?
"What lies at the end of your run? Have you truly seen it clearly? You know nothing, and yet you wish to quell this rage?"
...
"What is it talking about? I don't understand a single word," Yuena complained.
"Mo Mei!"
"Here, Nen Shield!"
The Nen Shield, improved under Ye Lin's guidance, reduced its internal space but greatly increased its thickness, specifically designed to deal with creatures like Lotus that only have physical attacks.
Bang!
A powerful tentacle pressed hard on the surface of the Nen Shield. Accompanied by a faint "creak," Mo Mei's proud Nen Shield actually developed cracks!
"Quick, go through the Nen Shield and dodge."
There was still half the distance to go. If he got a quarter closer, he would be able to collapse the temple that Lotus had his followers build, further weakening this big octopus, and have a "hand-to-hand" talk with Luo Zong.
"Foolishness will bring death!"
"I actually understood that sentence." Yuena nodded heavily.
Light: Blade Draw!
Light: Evil Slayer!
Under the dual sword techniques, the tentacle that Siate had previously severely injured completely broke off. Strangely, not much blood flowed from the severed end; it was already shriveled to almost nothing.
"Your strength has grown."
He gave Siate a thumbs-up and received a joyful but feigned indifferent glare. She huffed, "You're improving, and so am I, of course."
Siate was about to swing her sword when her sword technique suddenly deviated. It was Mai Lu who was quick-witted and stood by her side, as countless vines grew from under their feet, using plants to block Lotus's furious attack.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Mai Lu politely called everyone 'sister,' except for a certain red-haired loli holding a spear.
"Nothing, thank you, Mai Lu."
Siate couldn't help but glance at Ye Lin. Because they had always been together, she had never noticed it, but he seemed to be much, much stronger than when he first became a Professional.
She inexplicably recalled what Linus said when he gave her a weapon, telling her that no one could teach her the ultimate Sword Control Technique; she could only comprehend it herself or refer to the Gale Style in Ghost Sword Technique.
She had also complained that Linus said a Sword Saint was not that easy to find. Linus then pointed to Ye Lin, who had just learned Ghost Sword Technique not long ago...
"This, that shouldn't be right. He's still a bit behind me."
She forced a smile and swung her sword again to deal with Lotus's violently attacking tentacles.
One Nen Shield after another shattered, and sweat appeared on Mo Mei's forehead. She was responsible for the entire The team's defense, and if Mai Lu hadn't shared some of the burden, she might have collapsed long ago.
This was her first crisis after deciding to specialize in Nen Shield. Even Feng Zhen's astonishing Nen Shield was like a soap bubble under Lotus's tentacles, only able to block for less than three seconds.
"If we didn't have the interference emitters, we might have been wiped out in an instant."
Anxious, Mo Mei didn't notice that the Nen petals on her body were becoming more and more numerous, and their originally illusory form was becoming more and more solid.
"Humble bodies and souls, foolish puppets, completely unaware of their self-destruction..."
Lotus's tentacles hammered furiously. Mo Mei was almost red-eyed and gritting her teeth, stubbornly using the Nen Shield to withstand wave after wave of attacks.
Light: One Strike, Two Halves!
Mai Lu, who had also practiced Light: Sword Technique, was equally anxious. Her broadsword in her right hand swung horizontally, cutting a tentacle so that only the skin remained connected.
Isha Dula was still maintaining the fireball, scorching Lotus's tentacles. She was also under immense pressure and couldn't spare a hand.
Yuena gently closed her eyes, spread her hands, and a emerald green glow descended from the sky. Powerful healing energy restored their tired bodies.
She had comprehended a new revelation, New Life Hymn!
"If it weren't for the interference emitters, even an Awakener wouldn't have an easy time!"
Siate and Mai Lu cut off the third tentacle together, then both retreated quickly into the Nen Shield, their brows furrowed and their hearts uneasy.
It was true that Lotus, having lost its mental control, was just a big octopus with some strength, but its subordinates, countless octopus monsters and crazed believers, finally rushed forward after those Adventurers went to search for the fire seed.
