A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees Chapter 240

 Chapter 240 I have a friend...

 “Mace?”

Seeing Matthew taking out such a big thing, Plague Angel Marconi suddenly looked hesitant:

 “You actually know how to use such a strange weapon?”

obviously.

She saw Matthew holding the hammer skillfully and knew that he was not pretending.

A weapon of this weight is a bit too heavy for an ordinary warrior, let alone a spellcaster.

 Marconi was naturally shocked.

Matthew smiled calmly:

 “I have a friend who taught me how to use this weapon.”

Of course he wouldn't say that he acquired the mace-wielding skills by burying his friend named Edson.

Marconi frowned:

 “Is it Chen?”

 “What is your relationship with Chen?”

Matthew was pleased that the other party was full of suspicion, so he casually said:

 “There was a chance or two of fate.”

Marconi's face became more solemn, and she took out a slender steel sword with her backhand.

The tip of this sword glowed with a bit of cold light. When it was swung, a whirring sound was made in the air, and seemingly invisible magic runes danced on it. This was obviously a good sword that had been enchanted many times. sword.

 She pointed the tip of her sword at Matthew and walked slowly around him.

 As a warrior who has been fighting for many years.

Marconi's joy over the successful placement of the spell-invalidating barrier has long since dissipated.

As long as the opponent still has a weapon in his hand.

 She will always be alert.

She is well aware of the horror of alliance mages. In the eyes of Tianlun Palace, there are three main types of mages in the Seven Saints Alliance, namely the academic school, the practical school and the wild ones.

 Generally speaking.

 The mages of Yeluzi are the easiest to deal with.

Although they also have some strange moves, their lack of basic skills limits them in many aspects.

 It stands to reason that it would be shown based on her intelligence.

Matthew is such a wild mage.

 But the brief contact between the two parties made Marconi quickly realize that Ye Luzi might also be a practical fighter!

"This guy is a little too calm... he may have other trump cards, so I have to be careful."

 Marconi moved with precise steps.

 She quickly used her own movements to draw Matthew's attention.

Matthew held the mace tightly and did not take the initiative to attack.

This kind of odd-shaped weapon is easy to pull. Once the attack is avoided, the situation will become very passive.

 He was also observing Marconi's condition.

 But it's in this process.

Marconi quickly realized that although Matthew knew how to use a mace, his experience in close combat didn't seem to be very good.

 Even judging from the way the other party follows his eyes.

  She is an out-and-out cub!

 “It turned out to be a pretense...”

Marconi breathed a sigh of relief. The next second, she clenched the rapier in her hand and suddenly spoke:

 “When did you find out my identity?”

 She was trying to distract Matthew.

The latter was indeed fooled, but heard him reply:

“The real Ai Lan doesn't have body odor.”

Marconi showed a furious expression on the surface, but in fact, when Matthew showed his gloating, he stabbed out with a sword!

 This sword is as fast as lightning!

at the same time.

Plague Angel's entire body also erupted with a fierce energy flow.

 That is the power from the domain.

That moment.

 Her state in all aspects has been improved to perfection.

 Just a blink of an eye.

 Her rapier was about to pierce Matthew's chest.

 At the critical moment.

A thunder sounded on the ground—

"roll!"

 「Celebrity Domain: Scream back」!

Hum~!

There was a trembling sound caused by violent shaking on the rapier.

Marconi's body seemed to hit a wall, and the next second, a huge force hit her like a wave.

 She was forced to take several steps back!

"It's now!"

Since the battle at Moss Green Hills, Matthew's legend has reached a new level, so his ability to retreat with a stern voice has also been further strengthened.

While the shock effect on Marconi's body was not gone when she was scolded away.

 Matthew slammed the hammer forward violently!

The speed of this hammer is not unpleasant.

However, Marconi is the reincarnation of an angel, and her resistance to knockback and shock is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Phew!

When the fierce wind brought by the mace hits.

 She nimbly bent down and rolled on the spot to successfully avoid this fatal attack.

at the same time.

 Her rich combat experience allowed her to capture a flaw created by Matthew when he retracted the hammer.

 The rapier trembled again.

 She turned her wrist downwards, and the cold light pierced Matthew's waist like a poisonous snake!

 “I'll see how you can hide from this sword!”

The silver light was about to pierce Matthew's flesh, but at this moment, another wave of air erupted with Matthew as the center.

boom!

Marconi lowered her head in distress. Her face seemed to have been slapped twice, and her body was punched like a sandbag.

 Poof!

 She rolled several times in succession before she was able to get rid of the thrust generated by the air wave!

"The ring of resistance? No, the spell invalidation barrier is still there!"

Marconi looked at Matthew in surprise.

And the latter's body was lighting up with a faint green light at this time.

“It seems that compared with a real melee master, I still need to practice more.”

 Matthew looked at Marconi and laughed at himself.

 On the data column.

  Hint: You have used the limited-time status "Soul of the Ancestors"!

 You will randomly summon one of your tauren ancestors to possess you, thereby gaining powerful fighting ability!

 Summoning successful!

 You encounter the legendary tauren "Blood Scythe" of the Zhan Kuang clan! "

 Hurrah!

 With Matthew as the center, a large amount of wind blows in all directions.

The turquoise magical light lit up this dark space.

 A narrow portal lights up.

 Follow.

 A tauren soul walked out of the portal!

That moment.

Marconi showed an expression as if she had seen a ghost:

 “The soul of the ancestors?”

 “This kid is actually a tauren?! How is that possible!?”

 “He is obviously so handsome!”

 And the other side.

The tauren soul was also looking at Matthew up and down.

 Half a while.

He said in a muffled voice:

“Have the current tauren evolved almost to the level of humans?”

 Matthew was also embarrassed.

 This is his first time trying to summon the soul of the ancestors. To be honest, it is a bit unscientific for a human to summon the tauren ancestors.

At the moment, he could only forcefully smooth things over:

 “Times are changing.”

 Blood Sickle. Zhan Kuang showed a puzzled expression:

"But this change is too exaggerated. It is more reasonable to call it a metamorphosis."

  Matthew just wanted to explain more.

 But this sturdy tauren soul waved his hand impatiently:

"No matter what, since you summoned me, you must be my descendant."

 “You are qualified to accept my power!”

 “Then, please turn around, I'm coming in!”

Matthew said slightly nervously:

 “Well, why don't you wait...”

Unexpectedly, the other party yelled rudely:

 “Don't be a mother-in-law or a mother-in-law!”

 “Tauren must go straight!”

 “I'm in!”

Phew!

 A cool breeze blew by.

Matthew could clearly feel an extremely huge amount of life energy pouring into his limbs from his back!

 “Enjoy it, kid!”

 “This is the power and glory of our ancestors!”

 Blood Scythe. The roar of the war madman echoed in the cave for a long time.

Matthew's whole body was shaking violently, which was his body's natural reaction to the powerful force from the tauren ancestors.

at the same time.

 There was a burning power in his chest.

 He subconsciously took off the Star Weaver robe and looked down.

 But I saw a **** lotus on my chest.

 “Go forward with the will of the tauren!”

 The sound of the blood sickle sounded for the last time.

  The lotus on Matthew's chest turned bright red, as if blood was dripping from it.

That moment.

The muscles all over his body also bulged up, and his body grew a full three times!

 Hint: You have gained the power of your ancestors!

 Power of the Ancestors: Your body will be strengthened to the level equivalent to a level 16 ancient war-mad tauren!

 You have obtained the special status "Bloody Lotus" and "Road of War Madness"!

Blood Lotus: The symbol of the War Mad Clan. When the Blood Lotus is activated, you will be regarded as an ancient War Mad Tauren;

 The Road to Fighting Madness: In combat, you will have nearly infinite energy and physical strength, and you will have a physique that will make you braver as you fight, and as you continue to fight, your strength will slowly improve.

Specially, after fighting continuously for more than 60 minutes, your strength will become legendary.

By then, you will be able to attract the blessings of more tauren ancestor spirits. "

 What a powerful force…

Matthew quietly felt the strands of violent energy flowing through his body.

 After entering a state of war madness.

 He seemed to feel every pump of blood in his heart.

 That is the power of life.

 That is the strength of fighting.

 That is the power of the tauren!

“I didn't expect you to have tauren blood... Damn it, why is Tianlun Palace's intelligence always so lagging behind!”

Marconi gritted her teeth and cursed:

“And wasn't the Zhan Kuang clan extinct in the Dark Ages? Why do their spirits appear in this era?”

Matthew turned to face her and said slowly:

 “Perhaps because…”

However, before he could finish his words, his strong body suddenly pushed forward two positions, and then he punched forward in the air!

That punch was obviously still far away from Marconi.

  It can be used in the next second.

It was actually firmly slapped on Marconi's facade!

　　Boom!

 "Tauren martial arts: Phase Fist"!

And just when this unexpected fist hit, Matthew's body instinctively connected with the subsequent combo.

 He quickly released the mace.

The other hand grabbed Marconi, who was knocked away by the phase fist.

 The next second.

 He put his arms around Marconi's waist.

 A sudden inversion.

 Then he raised it high and smashed it head down on the ground!

 "Tauren martial arts: Heaven and earth shatter"!

that moment.

Matthew grabbed Plague Angel's waist with both hands and smashed it up and down three times, smashing his head and upper body to pieces!

 A large amount of blood and brain matter spattered out.

 It got all over Matthew's hands.

The ground is also full of water.

Snapped!

Matthew casually threw away the remaining lower body. The latter twitched on the ground for a while, and then seemed to lose his life.

“I didn't expect the tauren to be so powerful...”

 Looking at the mess on the ground.

Matthew was also secretly stunned.

Although the Plague Angel did not come down to earth in real form, the body just now had at least the strength of a fifth-level warrior.

 But one oversight and he was instantly killed.

I can only say that fighting the Crazy Minotaur is a bit scary without explaining the instant combos.

certainly.

Matthew also knew very well that Marconi would not die like this.

This guy is a **** of Ikanos the Ruined, and can theoretically be resurrected in the latter's kingdom.

And guys like this who were reincarnated in advance will most likely dare to make trouble only after they have been promoted to demigods.

 Although the demigod's kingdom is weak, it is still possible to resurrect a devout believer.

 Taking into account the strangeness of the Blight Cultists encountered previously.

Matthew even suspected that the body just now was just a container for the plague angel.

 There should be more beneath the ground.

The idea just came up.

 He suddenly noticed a golden light flying out from the half of the corpse!

That golden light looked like a woman with a panic-stricken face!

Matthew's eyes lit up when he saw this.

　　Unexpectedly, the so-called Plague Angel Marconi turned out to be just a petitioner!

 It is well known.

 Petitioners are the products of fanatics who return their souls to the Kingdom of God after death.

This kind of creature is a pure spiritual energy body, which is much lower than ordinary angels at the level of innate creation. To say that it belongs to God is to put gold on its own face.

 Outstanding petitioners are indeed qualified to become angels, but their level must not be much higher.

from this angle.

Ikanos the Ruined, who can send a petitioner to do things under the guise of an angel, is probably not very popular nowadays.

“Perhaps the attack on the druidic shrine was a demigod ritual for Ikanos the Destroyer and Taland the All-Weaver to ascend to the blighted or ruined realms.”

“Perhaps they are not even demigods now!”

 Such speculation flashed through Matthew's mind quickly.

Of course he did not relax his vigilance because of this.

After all, academic mages like Feliwen have been captured by Ikanos, who transformed into the King of Blight.

 The moment.

 He rushed towards the golden light quickly.

 Marconi, on the other hand, ran away desperately.

 She didn't dare to look at Matthew at all. Without the protection of her body, she was just a ball of spiritual energy at anyone's disposal!

  If it were an ordinary enemy, she would still have the confidence to fight it.

 But she didn't want to get entangled with the deeply hidden tauren in front of her.

 Petitioners fly very quickly.

 But the War Mad Tauren's short-distance attack speed is faster.

 Only for a moment.

Matthew rushed to her side, swung his left hand and grabbed the skirt of the petitioner!

This moment frightened Marconi to the point of death.

Her whole body was ignited with golden flames, her mental energy was consumed rapidly, and her speed suddenly increased by 30%!

　　Whoosh!

 Using this explosive force, she quickly passed through the tunnel and rushed uphill.

 While passing through the pass.

 She calmly opened a mechanism that had been set up here before!

　　Boom!

A huge rolling stone landed from above and rolled violently down the slope!

The tunnel is narrow and Matthew is not small, so in order to avoid the rolling rocks, he will definitely delay the pursuit!

 Marconi breathed a sigh of relief. Without hesitation, she took out a shining golden charm and tore it open!

“The plan has changed! The tree-planting mage is a tauren...”

While she spoke quickly, she glanced uneasily deep into the tunnel.

  It can be used in the next second.

Her golden pupils suddenly shrank violently.

 But there was a burst of fire in the tunnel—

　　Boom!

 It's like a train passing through the border.

The tauren with astonishing brute strength pushed the rolling stone upward at a terrifying speed.

 Only for a moment.

 The rolling stone and Matthew ran over the petitioner!

"No…"

Marconi wailed.

 However, once the entity composed of spiritual energy is collided and scattered, it will never be restored.

Matthew stopped and walked over quickly.

The latter is still busy piecing together his own spiritual energy blocks.

Looking at the golden light that shattered the ground.

Matthew asked calmly:

“So the Broodmother is not your wild form, but Ikanos or Taland's.”

“Tell me where they are and I can make your death less painful.”

Marconi's half-broken face wailed:

 “I can't say!”

 “I don't want to die, wuwuwu…”

Matthew sighed, and immediately leaned his head over, under Marconi's pitiful eyes.

 He blew hard.

 Hurrah!

 Golden light is scattered all over.

 The so-called Plague Angel was wiped out!

 And after this.

Matthew then took some time to look at his surroundings.

This is an extremely small underground space.

 In addition to the upward ramp, there are three roads leading to different locations.

 The left and right sides lead to the underground area of ​​​​Zhei.

 There is only some light at the end of the road in the middle.

 Matthew looked at it.

 The two roads on the left and right are a bit too narrow. He is now a standard strong man and can't squeeze through.

 So he chose to take the middle path.

 Not long.

 He then crossed the corridor and came to the end of the road.

This is a square with sparse candlelight.

 The space above the square is very deep and secluded, even larger than the secret underground stronghold of the Scourge Cult.

 Matthew looked left and right.

 Confirm that the space here is enough to accommodate two giant dragons fighting.

And there are rows of vertical ellipsoids placed on the square.

 Matthew leaned over to take a look.

Discovered that they were actually glass jars.

 The glass jar is filled with a light yellow turbid liquid.

 Some of the glass jars are empty.

 There are also some weird...spirit bodies floating in some glass jars?

 “No, it seems to be a special ghost!”

Matthew looked around in surprise.

The number of glass jars in the square is too numerous to count.

 And pipes extend from behind these glass jars, and these pipes are eventually merged into a thick copper pipe.

Matthew followed the copper pipe to the end.

Discovered that what was connected to him was a thick yellow root like a tentacle!

 The tip of the rhizome is like a stamen.

 Thin yellow and white branches wrap the copper pipe airtightly.

 You don't have to be close to Matthew to feel it.

 That rhizome must come from the Mother Lotus hidden deep in the ground!

 He observed calmly.

I found that from time to time, the ghosts in the jar were taken out, but not long after, some ghosts were sent back.

These ghosts seemed to be awake when they were sent back.

 They also bared their teeth and claws at Matthew.

  But under immersion in liquid.

 They soon fell asleep.

 Waiting for the next call.

 Hint: You discovered the "Group Soul Projection Device".

  Knowledge (Spellcraft/Divinity Knowledge): You realize that the Universal Soul Projection Device is the divine version of the spell Lansha Yimeng.

 The Broodmother projects these ghosts onto the clones to create the most rudimentary lives in batches, and then orders these Blight Cultists to cause destruction in Cross City by issuing simple instructions. "

I see.

Matthew had previously thought that these Blight Cultists were very strange. They rotted completely after death and their spirits disappeared.

 It turns out that their ghosts have long been anchored by the Mother Lotus!

 And Lan Sha Yimeng, who was originally used to travel to other worlds, was also regarded by the Broodmother Lotus as part of the body to control the ghost to log in to the cloning technique.

 By this means.

 Brother Lotus can continuously produce cheap Blight Cultists.

 It's just that the quality of life of these believers will be very poor.

Matthew even observed.

 Some of the ghosts in the glass jars actually belong to animals!

“Even if Lan Sha Yimeng can protect the soul from being lost, it probably won't be able to withstand several soul mappings.”

“Where did the Mother Lotus get so many ghosts from? And it also treats them as consumables!”

　　thinking so.

Matthew wanted to follow the direction of the stem to find the true location of the Mother Lotus.

 But at this time.

 All the candles in the square were extinguished instantly.

 Follow.

 The glass jar lit up with a faint blue light.

 All the ghosts opened their eyes at that moment!

 They stared at Matthew.

 Hurrah!

 There is a dark wind coming from the edge of the square.

 That is to say, Matthew is now full of vitality and high-spirited, otherwise he would really be shocked by this scene!

 “Your audacity exceeds my expectations.”

“But if the tauren bloodline is your last trump card, then you are destined to die here today, hehe, Tree Planting Mage.”

 A very feminine voice sounded in the darkness.

 Matthew composed himself.

He did not find the source of the sound, but his perception reminded him that the speaker was the Mother Lotus hidden in the darkness.

 “Are you Ikanos or Taland?”

 He asked calmly.

 “It seems you did some homework before coming here...”

After saying this softly and weakly, the voice suddenly became sharp and high-pitched:

 “But you, a despicable tauren, dare to call God by his name!?”

“I am the weaver of all things, the daughter of the earth, the master of graves, poisons, and pestilences!”

 “Kneel down!”

An unquestionable force of law fell on Matthew.

However, Matthew only took half a step back and stood firm.

 His own resistance is very high.

Coupled with the tauren's ancestral soul, it gives him an extremely tenacious will to fight.

Taland the Weaver's power did not bring him to his knees.

certainly.

This is also related to Taland's current lack of strength.

 “You really haven't even arrived as a demigod.”

Matthew calmly looked at the root that was slowly breaking away from the copper pipe.

 The latter split in the middle, exposing countless tongues and tiny teeth.

 A woman's head slowly emerged from it.

 She stared at Matthew with cold anger.

“Even if I am not a demigod now, the gods of the past are not something that a young boy like you can blaspheme!”

"I said, you are really brave. You didn't even think of retreating when you found out there were so many ghosts here."

“Didn't your teacher tell you that ghosts are the natural nemesis of mages?”

 Along with this Taland's clamor.

 The upper lids of all glass jars are automatically opened.

 Countless ghosts flew out from it.

They circled Matthew and let out sharp roars, as if they could tear him apart at any time!

Ghost is indeed one of the potential mage killers.

 There are many high-level ghosts that can absorb not only energy but also concentration.

 When a mage is surrounded by a large number of ghosts.

 His spells and skills may all become ineffective in an instant.

 Hence every mage will be particularly careful when setting foot in the underworld.

 Even for a strong character like a tauren.

 When facing the ghost sea, it is easy to be drained of energy and become weak.

 So in Talland's view.

 Matthew is indeed a little overconfident.

“The number of ghosts here seems to exceed 1,000…”

Matthew said to himself.

“And to send you to the underworld, I only need 100 ghosts!”

Taland said coldly:

 “Leave your last words, mage.”

"You will be the first Alliance mage I kill after my return. It is your honor."

Matthew just shrugged when he heard this:

"I have a friend."

“He once entrusted me to investigate a soul-stealing mission. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't investigate it seriously at all. Who knew that this mission would happen on its own..."

 Speaking of which.

 He took out the lantern that exuded a faint green light from his luggage.

 Wherever the light goes.

 All the ghosts suddenly became quiet!

"My friend also said that as long as I collect 1,000 ghosts, he will automatically appear in front of me..."

 “Do you think so, Viscount Fan?”

Matthew hasn't finished speaking yet.

A sudden light burst out from above the Lost Lantern. Amid Talander's angry roar, thousands of ghosts were involuntarily sucked into the lantern!

  Swish.

 The ghost that was surrounding Matthew just now disappeared completely.

at the same time.

 A man wearing a dark cloak and carrying a scythe appeared next to Matthew.

 “The Demon Realm of Ravenloft? Viscount Fan?”

Taland's voice suddenly raised an octave:

“I remember that Spirit Touch Hall and Tianlun Palace signed a non-interference agreement!”

Viscount Fan came to Matthew, glanced at the ghost in the lantern, and then replied very politely:

  “There is such an agreement.”

"But you are no longer a member of Tianlun Palace, and you have intercepted the soul that originally belonged to the underworld, which has seriously violated the regulations."

“I didn't settle the score with you because I don't want to interfere with matters in the material world. You'd better not threaten me with what Tianlun Palace did.”

Talande was silent for a moment.

Fan Viscount turned to Matthew, with a faint smile on his face:

"I didn't expect you to complete part of the task so quickly. I originally thought it was people from the Cult of Hades who were doing this, but I didn't expect that the Cult of Blight was also involved. The main material world is really in chaos right now. It's really upsetting. Chaos—fortunately I'm not human.”

"Then I will accept these 1,000 ghosts. I promised you the condition I promised you - I will send you a messenger soon to get the content on the slate. In addition, I owe you a favor. As long as I have influence in the Demonic Realm of Ravenloft, If you want me to do anything that does not violate my principles, I will try my best to do it."

“As for this lantern, just keep it in your hand. If there are more ghosts, I will offer a better price.”

 Said.

 He bowed slightly to Matthew and took away the souls.

 The square suddenly became deserted.

 After Fan Zijue left.

Taland seemed to be relieved, and she sneered in a low voice:

“I thought you were really friends with the all-powerful Viscount Fan, but it turned out they were just using each other.”

“You don't think I can't kill you after I leave the ghost, do you?”

 The next second.

The sound of breaking rocks was heard frequently from all over the square.

Matthew saw a green or yellow rhizome growing through the ground and rock wall.

These rhizomes carry colorful spheres.

 These spheres expanded rapidly as soon as they appeared.

 Bang, bang, bang!

 The sphere explodes automatically.

 Turns into colorful powder and blends into the air.

quickly.

 The entire square was shrouded in colorful poisonous gas!

“Warning: You have entered the realm of plague and poison of Taland the All-Weaver!

 You have been attacked by 1247 poisons and 668 plagues at the same time!

Your body cannot be immune to this level of poison and plague damage! "

 An unprecedented feeling of weakness came over Matthew.

His heart was pounding.

“As expected of a god, he still has unique advantages in the field.”

 He couldn't help but sigh.

Taland said proudly:

“Of course, in the realm of plague and poison, I am the king!”

Who knows what will happen next.

 But Matthew denied it seriously and said:

 “No! You're not!”

"I have a friend…"

 “He is the king of this realm!”

 While speaking.

Matthew calmly opens up another related area besides the plague—

at the same time.

 He also recited a short but sharp incantation.

That is the secret language of a certain druid society.

 After the spell.

 Three illusory figures were quickly projected around Matthew.

They are-

 The corrupt lord Hasman;

Dusk Elf Dudley;

And a yawning yellow jade dragon!

 “Hello Matthew!”

Dudley's shadow said happily:

 “You finally remembered that you are a member of the Spore Society!”

 The rot sac lord Husman gently and shyly waved his tentacles with Matthew, and then wrapped everything with a wider and more magnificent "spore field".
