Chapter 624: Water Pump, Heavy Rain, Bees and Flowers
The woods where the witch was were sparkling.

Magic factors like fireflies rose from the grass, densely packed and extremely dazzling even in the daytime.

Nature was extremely vibrant ten thousand years ago, but a lot has changed in ten thousand years.

Bloodbeard didn't know what Li Nuo was going to do, so he followed him. Deep in the woods was the swamp where the witch was. When they passed through the thorn forest, they saw a corpse.

Li Nuo stood in front of the corpse and examined it with great interest. Finally, he opened its abdomen and wanted to see what treasures were in the treasure chest. Unfortunately, there was nothing inside except dried intestines.

"Bleeding to death."

He put the body on the ground and asked Cairo to dig a hole and bury the body.

Bloodbeard said from behind: "The villagers said that they hired some ronin. This corpse is a ronin."

"Is it very powerful?" Li Nuo felt that he had something else in mind: "I mean Ronin."

Bloodbeard nodded: "The ronin in the eastern mountains are good at fighting. I didn't expect that the trash the villagers were talking about were these powerful guys."

Li Nuo took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."

He walked deeper into the cave, smelling the blood. Not long after he walked, he saw an open space with more than a dozen corpses entangled with trees, vines and thorns, unable to be separated.

There is one person still alive, he has almost lost consciousness, his eyes are dazed, and except for his brain, almost all other parts of his body have been invaded by plants.

The surviving ronin heard the footsteps of Li Nuo and his men and said, "There is danger ahead, leave."

"what happens?"

As Li Nuo asked, he raised his hand and used the [Seal of Axis] to give the dying ronin a final burst of hope.

The ronin's eyes regained their luster. He grasped the last moment of strength and said, "We didn't see the witch. We only saw heavy rain in the deep swamp. Stepping into that area will lead us into a region of hallucination. In the end, we regarded each other as monsters. After killing each other, we found that we had been embraced by the man-eating trees."

Nature is scary.

Insects are preyed upon by plants.

Ronin will be invaded by trees.

"So what is your purpose?"

Li Nuo suddenly asked this, and Bloodbeard was stunned. Purpose? Shouldn't it be... the villagers' entrustment?
"As a group, you are strong and powerful. You are the leader, right?" Li Nuo paused and said, "Even if you are going to die, you should hold on. A guy with faith like you should not rashly lead the team into a dangerous area. The so-called entrustment of the villagers is unreasonable. Don't they have little money? Then what do you want? Poisonous watermelon? Or pumpkin given by God? To be honest, if I find anything false, I will wipe out your Ronin Group."

The wanderer in the tree said: "The magic seeds in the swamp are very precious. We are here on behalf of the demon king."

"Thank you." Li Nuo raised his walking stick and pierced the ronin's head, instantly ending his last bit of life.

Bloodbeard was stunned: "Brother, did you hear that? It has something to do with the Demon King's army!"

"Go back and keep an eye on those villagers." Li Nuo tilted his head and said, "Brother, you have been feeling uncomfortable in your stomach, right?"

Bloodbeard: "You are not afraid of me..."

Li Nuo: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Bloodbeard nodded imperceptibly, covered his stomach, and turned away.

Cairo sat on Li Nuo's box, tapped his hat with his little hand and said, "Do you suspect there is something wrong with the villagers?"

Li Nuo: "Brother, it would be a burden if you go any further. Why don't you help me keep an eye on the villagers? If there are any conspiracies or tricks, I can at least prepare in advance."

This arrogant guy never said that he didn't want useless people to die.

In the swamp ahead, there is a dangerous aura like a giant monster.

……

Bloodbeard ran back almost as if he was fleeing. When he returned to the village, the group of villagers looked at him strangely.

A village woman asked, "He died so soon?"

"I, I have diarrhea!" Bloody Beard asked the village woman to take him to find a toilet, and they had a pleasant chat along the way.

Fifteen minutes later.

Bloody Beard in the haystack let out a long sigh. The village woman who was pressing on him touched his beard, kissed him with a slightly teasing look, and then put on her clothes.

"You're not a good man."

"You're such a good bitch..."

"Don't expose it. If the village chief knew, he would scold me for being unfaithful to my husband."

The husband of the village woman was exiled a year ago and died in battle half a year ago. According to the custom in the countryside, a widow must stay at home for at least three years. If no one wants her after three years, she will marry the village chief and become a maid.

"Hey, I want to ask you something. Tell me and I'll take you away."

Bloodbeard suddenly hugged the village woman, and the woman did not resist: "Speak."

Bloodbeard: "Is there something wrong with that swamp witch?"

"Of course." The village woman said bluntly: "There is a group of mountain spirits in the forest who serve the witch. The village chief was afraid that if he told others, he would anger the mountain god, so he didn't tell anyone..."

"Mountain spirit..." Bloodbeard was stunned. That was the guardian of the god of nature who was revered by many countries.

The old guy wanted to run, so he grabbed his clothes and put them on.

Village woman: "Hey, where are you going?"

Bloodbeard: "Needless to say! Of course..."

He didn't say the word "run" because he remembered that Li Nuo had killed that damned king, which was considered as a revenge for him...So after Bloodbeard put on his clothes, he walked into the woods without saying a word.

"Tell your village chief that if you want to communicate with the mountain spirit, come and save that boy."

……

Li Nuo hid behind a bunch of bushes.

In the distant grassland separated by a large group of trees, there is a giant rhino with deer horns. It exudes a green glow and there are some small mushrooms growing on its skin. It is hard to tell whether it is a biological organism or a plant carrier.

What surprised Li Nuo was that this bird thing did not trigger his [Hunter] hostile premonition towards monsters and demons.

Cairo squatted nearby, chewing some insects he had just picked up, and said, "I always feel that the mushrooms on the giant rhino should be delicious."

Li Nuo gave Cairo-kun a sip of tea to make it shut up.

After the rhinoceros left, he carried Cairo out. Not far ahead was the swamp. From here, the sky seemed to be cut by darkness. Spiral dark clouds poured heavy rain on the swamp. Thunder continued, rain and fog were everywhere, and hundreds of hectares of areas were covered by heavy rain.

Li Nuo's sense of smell suddenly failed here.

He had to admire that it was worthy of the ancient times, with strange things appearing one after another. The difficulty lay not in the creatures themselves, but in the things that came down from nature.

It was not difficult for Li Nuo to cross the dark clouds that the villagers and wanderers said were impassable. There were clusters of moving mushrooms in the muddy swamp, and the mushrooms spread hallucinogenic gases. Curses and hallucinations had almost no effect on Li Nuo.

He held Cairo-kun on his head as an umbrella and walked through the heavy rain.

When we reached the center of the swamp, a forest of trees rose from the ground.

If you look back, you will find that the dark clouds and heavy rain are far away, and the entire swamp is a landmark defense site.

This shows that witches are very good at protecting themselves.

"A-choo!" Cairo sneezed and said listlessly, "I think I have a cold..."

Li Nuo moved Cairo from his head to the ground, and the little guy did a great job of playing the role of an umbrella.

"Where is this place?"

Cairo followed Li Nuo into the woods that were growing like bamboo shoots after the spring rain, and looked around at the lush greenery in confusion and surprise.

Dewdrops fell from leaves onto the grass, turning into a liquid thumb elf. It looked at Li Nuo, who was a hundred times bigger than itself, and burrowed into the soil in fear, condensing into a carnivorous plant, roaring at Li Nuo, as if to say, "Don't touch me!"

"it's wired……"

Li Nuo touched his chin and looked up at the plant that looked very similar to the "Demon Flower". He felt it was very familiar.

A wild boar with wings flew out from the woods and knocked Cairo, who was collecting ants, away. Then the boar turned into a bird and turned into light and shadow and flew into the sky.

Li Nuo brushed the leaves off Cairo's head, and some little people walked out from the leaves. The moment they saw them, they turned into strange bugs, like creatures like chimera ants, and drilled into Cairo's head. The little guy jumped around in fear, shouting "I'm invaded", and spit out the little chimera ants that were pixelated by its brain.

A strange vine stretched out from the soil and swallowed the chimera ant. The vine made a "thank you" gesture, expressing gratitude to Cairo who was frightened, and lifted Cairo up and sent him to a half-broken tree. The tree turned into a mother, and Cairo turned into a baby in her arms. The falling dew turned into milk, and Cairo bathed in it peacefully.

Li Nuo said in one direction: "Thank you, we have no ill intentions."

A mushroom with long whiskers walked out of there, holding a wooden stick, knocked on the ground, and said, "Go back, ahead, the life restricted area."

Before Li Nuo could grill the mushrooms, they disappeared.

He picked up Cairo-kun, who was sitting on a wooden stool and thought he was in his mother's arms, and said, "Let's go forward."

Cairo suddenly woke up from his dream: "What, what's going on!"

Li Nuo: "Wait for me outside. If anything goes wrong, I will send a blue flame to find you. Its name is Cuihua. Together you can burn down the entire forest."

The forest is thriving with life.

In Li Nuo's limited knowledge, there is also a similar place, Icarus, on the back of the island whale.

He had seen these things during his short journey with Mother Dolores.

Along the way, Li Nuo was recalling things in his mind.

From the desperate world of human extinction at the beginning, to the strange White City in the East one hundred and thirty years ago, then to Yukinako's abyss cave, the underground kingdom of the Great Rift Valley, the future after the world changed, the great fusion of races, the redefinition of the new White City, and finally to the nature ten thousand years ago.

It seemed like a world of just a script, but it had gone through the past of several scripts. However, only here could Li Nuo feel peaceful and without a trace of hostility.

The blood seemed to have coagulated.

It feels like coming home.

Endless comic drafts, constant urging calls from the editorial office, some strange cash on delivery stuff sent by Maljie from outer space, a text message from Dr. Xu asking him if he wanted to play chess tomorrow, the setting sun outside the window, and Cha Bai sitting on the sofa waiting for him to make dinner.

The calm air made Li Nuo forget the confrontation with the emperor. The oppressive feeling of the "organization" that followed him like a shadow was blocked by the leaves of the towering trees.

He walked forward in a trance.

Step by step, we climbed up a small hill, and the aroma of decayed pine was mixed with the sweetness of wild berries.

Here in the center of the swamp, a towering tree stands, and under the tree there is a uniquely shaped wooden house.

This house illustrates the owner's unique aesthetic.

It's very bad.

The wooden door of the tree house opened a crack, and several mushrooms jumped out from inside. They looked at Li Nuo and ran out one by one as if they were facing a great enemy.

The bark of the surrounding trees fell off, and some mushroom people ran out from them. When they stood up, they were about the height of an upright adult male.

Li Nuo looked at the group of divine instruments forming a circle, dancing and singing on the grass:

"~ Moonlight Sea of ​​Clouds."

"~The Wind Tunnel."

"~The alien is coming."

"~Please let the gods pass by."

In the window on the top floor of the tree house, a shadow walked to the window, and the window suddenly opened, and the shadow fell on it like the wind. Li Nuo looked over, and [Emile's Mask] showed that it was disturbed.

The figure that walked out sat on a floating broom. She was a woman with a devilish figure. She wore a wooden mask on her face with only two holes showing the eyes. No one could see the face under the mask.

The witch of the swamp.

She was wearing a blue dress and sitting on a broom, with her legs coiled like silver snakes. Her graceful curves looked like the Izanami that could kill anyone at first sight.

Li Nuo stared with dead eyes.

She was wearing black high heels.

High heels, ah, high heels from ancient times...

"Another intruder..."

The witch made a muffled sound.

"You have passed through two barriers, which means you are not a person with malicious intent, but please do not disturb the source of nature that has landed here. Please return quickly."

Li Nuo stayed where he was.

The witch locked eyes with him.

"Please, come back quickly."

"what……"

Li Nuo took a deep breath.

What makes Cha Bai's figure different from that of top models is that her curves carry a kind of divinity.

"You gave yourself amnesia?"

"Looks like I have to get you out of here in some way."

The [Encyclopedia of Dark Magic] appeared in Cha Bai's palm.

Li Nuo took out the [Round Land Shark's Meteor Shower] and fired a shot into the sky. The meteor show fell and exploded on the witch Cha Bai's body.

……

Outside the Demon King's Castle.

Brum stood on the broken bridge, and on the other side was the Demon King's fortress, but an insurmountable barrier rose from the quagmire under the broken bridge, and the power of the elements was needed to break the barrier.

"That's it!"

An elf girl's voice came from behind.

"Brother Brump, I've fixed this thing!"

The elf girl pointed at a giant... machine.

It looks like a water pump magnified several times.

"Okay, thank you."

Brump's gentle voice made the elf girl blush.

Chen Shouxu sat aside with a frown on his face: "Why are all the people who like me along the way goblins..."

Brum looked at him sideways: "Chen Shou, I'm sorry."

"It's my fault, you don't have to apologize." Chen Shou said, "Come on, let's use this machine to remove the protective layer of the Demon King's Castle!"

Over the past six months, Brum and Chen Shou have developed a very strange friendship...

"But this thing...how do I use it?" asked another elf girl.

"It's very simple." Chen Shou said, "We can divert the river water from upstream, use it to increase the impact force, and use the water element to break down the barrier at the border of the Demon King's City."

As they spoke, he and Brum prepared to move the big machine upstream.

"What's the name of this thing?" asked a muscular warrior carrying a big sword.

"Heh..." Chen Shou said, "In our world, it's called a water pump."

Perhaps it was a blessing from the temple that brought the water pump to the human world. After a long period of magical baptism, the water pump became a magical machine that guides the water element.

"We need to hurry." Brump was a little worried: "It's been more than half a year, and there is still no trace of them."

Chen Shou nodded: "Although those three guys are very jumpy, they are worrying."

Brump: "That's why we have to defeat the devil quickly and meet the goddess of nature..."

……

"So you are both a witch and a goddess of nature?"

Li Nuo asked Cha Bai in the wooden house.

Cha Bai sat on a rocking chair woven with vines, covering his forehead with one hand: "Just let me be quiet... You broke the magic I cast on myself, and now I have a headache."

Here's the thing.

About a year and nine months ago, Cha Bai was mistaken by the mushrooms as the goddess of nature and set out on a journey, arriving at this swamp filled with magic seeds.

Then she discovered that magic seeds were good materials for magic research.

She decided to set up a temporary camp here and wait for Li Nuo and others to arrive. During this period, she focused on studying magic and started a simple life.

In two years, Cha Bai has mastered the natural magic of "Dana Bimei". In this special place where all things have vitality, she can even control the environment. However, what she wants is not natural magic, but the magic of the "Cairo Star", that is, the Cairo magic recorded in "The Fire of Prometheus".

But the magic of the Cairo people was too outrageous. She became obsessed with her research and created a strange magic called "I will not recognize any of my relatives unless you are admitted to Tsinghua University."

As a result, she became a witch who only knew how to study magic and forgot about Li Nuo and the others.

It was not until he met Li Nuo and was hit in the face by a swarm of meteors that he remembered who he was.

"That's about it. During this time, I also researched a lot of strange magic. Oh, and there's a potion that's very important to you. Even though I almost forgot about you, I still remembered to help you get it."

Cha Bai raised his blue eyes and looked at Li Nuo who was standing in the distance.

"Come here, it's okay."

"I will die."

Li Nuo's face was trembling.

"fine."

Cha Bai knew what he was worried about.

"Do you still remember the curse of the Seven-Year Itch?"

She stood up and took out a notebook from the bookshelf, which recorded the strange magic she had researched.

"I modified that spell and turned it into this."

【Old woman in menopause】

[Type: Active Magic]

[Learning conditions: Spiritual power 300, sufficient X experience]

[Effect: Makes you lose interest in sex. I don't know how to solve this problem yet.]

[Brief description: Why does it take 300 spiritual power points to learn this trick? Even the Fireball Technique doesn't require such a high spiritual power point! ]

Cha Bai smiled lightly: "So I really don't have that kind of feelings towards you now."

Li Nuo's heart skipped a beat. Stop...

Cha Bai turned around and walked towards another bookshelf, saying, "During this period, I have been studying a lot of magic, and there are some that can be used, including the improvement of flying ability and field ability. Oh, and there are many magics that you should be interested in. Li Nuo, can you help me look at these magics? I also have some alchemy materials that you need. I have collected a lot and am waiting for you to come over. Anyway, you will definitely find me."

She keeps talking like a little girl.

She actually missed him very much.

In order to stop herself from thinking about him all the time and to make herself focus on her work, Cha Bai actually gave herself another magic.

[Cairo Magic: I am a heartless person, what can you do about it?]

The effect is a state of emotionlessness towards everyone.

Coupled with the promise of "I will not recognize any of my relatives unless you get into Tsinghua University", Cha Bai was able to perfectly avoid lovesickness. Although it was not her original intention to research these two magics and be forced to use them, she still could not control the shadow of the little Pope in her mind.

So it is inevitable to talk a lot.

Li Nuo stared with dead eyes at his woman's chattering back.

He took a deep breath.

Raise your hand, [Seal of Axi].

The hypnotic seal exploded in Cha Bai's mind, and she was in a trance for a moment.

Li Nuo said, "Fool, you are fooling around when no one is around. How can you study magic on your own? It's your bad luck that you get possessed. Hypnosis can dispel part of the curse on you, and for the rest, you should use [Focus] to try..."

"Li Nuo..." Cha Bai called him. Li Nuo was stunned for a moment and held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"You are the idiot..." Cha Bai said, "When I was studying magic, I accidentally cast a reverse magic on myself..."

Cairo Magic: [Hansawa Naoki: "Return a hundredfold!"]

The classic soundtrack of "Hanzawa Naoki" rang in Li Nuo's ears.

Cha Bai's eyes gradually became provocative. He maintained his only rationality but followed his heart as he took out a bottle of lubricant from the cabinet.

"Li Nuo, you...go quickly."

"what?"

She tied up her hair, took a step forward and grabbed Li Nuo's collar, breathing slightly.

"……husband."

Li Nuo: "Ah!?"

……

Outside the Demon King's City, under the crazy impact of the water pump, the waterfall induced by the water element broke through the barrier of the Demon King's City.

Outside the woods in the swamp, Bloodbeard led a group of villagers to rescue Li Nuo, but they encountered heavy rain halfway and the road was flooded.

In a fortress far away in the capital, after the tyrant was shot in the head by Li Nuo, the people privately celebrated by finding a small forest and firing cannons into the sky.

Cairo hid in the woods, observing the trees, flowers and plants out of boredom.

It saw a small bee landed on the pistil to collect nectar. The flower suddenly came alive, the petals grasped the bee, and the pistil greedily sucked the blood and flesh from the bee's body.

Cairo picked up the bee that had been sucked into jerky and was a little worried about Li Nuo.
