Re-live your life and start speedrunning

Yes.

This fog was obviously the 'ghost fog' that Li Re had used before!

But by the time Cheng Shiyu reacted, it was too late.

Outside the temple gate.

Between the trees.

far away,

Accompanied by a buzzing sound!

The green spiritual fire blooms in the long night.

Like sparks, more like silver threads flying towards the towering and terrifying giant tree——

"You're trying to steal from me again!"

The little sword fairy who had reacted did not hesitate to rush out with the sword! The Chi Xiao in his hand shone in the air, streaking a brilliant red light!

Chapter 211: Death

To this day, Cheng Shiyu can no longer remember how many times Li Re has snatched away her 'targets' - in their first meeting when Yin Bai lost control, he snatched away the illegal player she was targeting, preventing her from showing her skills. The same thing happened with the illegal players and gargoyles in the magic library when they met for the second time. After that, the disaster mission in which the magic world invaded reality was even more brilliant in front of her!

'Little Sword Fairy' certainly wouldn't show any dissatisfaction or jealousy towards Li Re because of this, but it was natural for her to be dissatisfied - not to mention that when they first met, although Li Re was very special, he was only a player with Black Iron authority. Although she couldn't defeat him quickly at that time, if she tried her best, she was confident that she could defeat him without any damage.

But now Li Re is already a senior player whose evolution level is not inferior to his own!

His progress was so fast that it took him just over three months to grow from a newcomer to this level. Even ordinary players would slow down their growth when they reached the bronze stage, because at the bronze stage it only took two months to complete a paradise mission. Most bronze players would be more cautious when facing the missions issued by the paradise, but Li Re's progress remained the same as before, or even faster!

In contrast, Cheng Shiyu herself has not made any progress for a long time because of the "killing disaster"!

Now seeing Li Re taking the initiative before her, Cheng Shiyu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and feel anxious! The light yellow outer robe whistled in the evening breeze, and the Chixiao sword in her hand flashed a red light in the air, dragging her straight forward!

The shouts made the jungle grass and trees fly!

In the long night, two lights appeared one after another between the rolling hills in the north!

Crackling... the spiritual fire was flying through the forest like a python. Li Re, who was using the 'spiritual fire' to clear the way, was walking in front. Hearing the 'little sword fairy' chasing behind him, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and thought to himself, what an 'impatient' girl——

"But this time, I still won't give it to you!"

When Li Re heard Cheng Shiyu talk about the dangers of the "barbarians" just now, he was already very tempted! He also became more sensitive to the girl's intention to hide her attack from him. Now that he was ahead of her, of course he couldn't let her go!

As a result, the spiritual fire that was passing through the forest paused slightly.

In the next second, it flew straight into the air!

Amid the buzzing sound, Cheng Shiyu almost came behind Li Re and raised her hand to grab him, but her outstretched hand missed him. The girl widened her eyes slightly and watched Li Re's feet leave the ground and fly into the air. The drifting ghost mist condensed into the image of a red-eyed girl with flowing black hair, wearing a shirt and a long skirt, and a long sword at her waist.

Xinggong Yue hugged Li Re from behind!

Dragging his body, it flashed in an instant - using 'spiritualization' to penetrate obstacles and move forward faster!

You can't fly too high, but you don't need to fly too high either. In this state, no material can hinder your progress.

During this process, the guardian spirit girl even lowered her eyes to look at the little sword fairy, with an inexplicable emotion in her scarlet eyes, as if saying... You are not as good as me!

The little sword fairy, holding a sword in one hand and grabbing nothing with the other, stopped in her tracks, her long boots stepping on the soil, her light yellow robe swaying like a pair of spread wings, and her two fluttering long hair looked like two pieces of dark light cut through the water. Her pair of white legs with her stockings taken off stood firmly in the wind, and her face couldn't help but look unhappy!

When did Li Re's guardian spirit develop such rich expressions?

That expression, coupled with the intimate posture with Li Re... Is she provoking me! ?

The girl became more and more angry the more she thought about it. She stood up again - and rushed forward on her sword at a faster and more violent speed!

But Li Re, who moved through the woods without any hindrance as if he had teleported, still reached his destination faster than her!

Rustling.

The closer we got, the denser the jungle became, and the sound of the swaying branches seemed as if countless monsters were staggering.

A shadow darker than the night flashed rapidly through Li Re's eyes.

suddenly!

After passing through the last swaying jungle, Li Re's vision suddenly became clear - he paused and raised his eyes, and what he saw was still shrouded in thick night, but the surroundings seemed unusually spacious - as if the grass and trees were growing luxuriantly but were afraid to avoid this place and had moved away, leaving an extremely vast open space in the middle.

Li Re narrowed his eyes.

The spiritual fire in his eyes ignited and dispelled the darkness in an instant, and he finally saw the true appearance of this open space.

The giant tree in the middle of the clearing was hung with countless corpses of humans and non-human creatures. The trunk, at least hundreds of meters high, was pale and rugged, like the "skeleton" of a huge creature, and the intertwined and hanging vines looked like wriggling blood vessels.

Yes, not just humans, but also non-humans - Li Rexin said no wonder the surroundings were so quiet along the way without even the sound of any living creatures, all the emotions were there!

But it doesn't really matter.

Li Re had already seen the true appearance of this tree, which the little sword fairy called a "manly species", from a distance during the day.

Let him stop moving forward.

This is the scene in the open space under the tree.

The soil was scarlet as if it had been watered with blood for years, and in the soil, countless pale bone-like "trees" took root in it, clustering around the giant tree.

Every tree has vines hanging down like blood vessels.

There were corpses hanging on every tree.

They are similar to the 'barbarians' in the middle.

They are obviously all 'barbarians'!

At the moment when Li Re paused, the gentle evening breeze seemed to become even colder - blowing coldly on the dense jungle behind him, and even colder on the gloomy and terrifying "bone tree" in front of him, swaying the corpses hanging on the tree -

Rustling.

The sound of staggering footsteps became more and more obvious.

However, this time it was accompanied by a strange creaking and twisting sound, as if someone was turning a neck that had been stiff for a long time, or twisting a head that had been dead for a long time.

No, not 'like', but really.

At this glance, Li Re indeed saw countless heads looking at him - the corpses hanging on the bone trees of all sizes clearly showed that they had been dead for a long time. Some were left with only bones, some had their skin and flesh open and covered with maggots, and some were so rotten that they no longer resembled human beings. But at this moment, they all moved gently in the wind.

Not moving with the wind.

It's more like a corpse coming back to life.

'Alive'.

Look at him who is coming!

The next second, a red sword light descended from the sky, like a rainbow ladder falling from the air, blocking the view of Li Re and the corpses hanging on the bone tree - the little sword fairy who flew down from the air with a sword walked out from the scattered sword light, his long hair flying and his face solemn, saying that he had finally caught up!

"I never thought this 'barbarian species' would have evolved to this extent..."

She did not look at the corpses that seemed to have come alive, but looked at Li Re behind her. She glanced at the guardian spirit behind Li Re, whose eyes widened slightly, and then looked at him: "Li Re, are you okay?"

Li Re didn't respond.

Because at this moment his body suddenly emitted a strange green fire, the flames rose from within and completely ignited him inside and out, the self-defense mechanism from the spiritual fire burst into action, and at this moment he seemed to have just come to his senses - he came to his senses and felt that he almost died under the gaze of this group of corpses, if the little sword fairy had not descended from the sky and cut off his sight... But even with the separation, half of the vitality in his body was still lost, and the speed of loss was so fast that even Xinggong Yue could not cut off the damage for him. The spiritual fire that rose at this moment was also the life energy from the burning superpower world stored in the Spirit Court brought about by this.

This vitality replenished the vitality he had lost in an instant.

But just one glance made him lose half his life.

This thing...

"How interesting!"

Li Re couldn't help but grin and suddenly became excited!

"It looks like you are really okay." After hearing Li Re's words, the little sword fairy breathed a sigh of relief and put her worries aside a little. God knows how worried she was when she saw Li Re standing stiffly in place just now - at that moment, she even felt that her heart was about to stop!

Fortunately, it's okay.

The girl felt relieved and reminded again: "Don't look at the body hanging on the tree."

"I've read in a book in the sect's library that what the 'barbarian species' likes most is to use the eyes of corpses hanging on trees that have not yet completely decayed as a medium to quietly corrode living things and plunder the lives of other organisms. The barbarian species will also generate derivatives called 'barbarian buds', which will quietly parasitize their bodies and turn them into corpses hanging on trees. These corpses will then fall to the ground when only bones are left and grow into new 'barbarian bud bone trees' like the one in front of us!"

"The more 'Barbarian Bud' bone trees the 'Barbarian Species' bone trees generate, and the denser the corpses hanging on the trees, the stronger the erosion ability! Looking at this 'Bone Forest' right now, I'm afraid only Bronze Extreme players who are infinitely close to Silver can withstand the erosion!"

"I was wondering how there could be such a big wild seed...I'm afraid this guy has parasitized all the creatures nearby into wild buds..."

Cheng Shiyu explained the 'setting' of this world to Li Re at a very fast speed.

But the more we talk about it.

Her voice became smaller and smaller.

Because she found that Li Re was looking at her with burning eyes.

It seemed like the more he talked, the more excited he became.

Chapter 212: Stealing Barbarians

Of course, although he was excited, at this moment, after listening to the description of the little sword fairy, Li Re had basically understood the concept of "barbarian species" - he thought that the so-called barbarian buds were essentially a kind of "parasite", and it was not clear whether they had self-awareness or not, but what was clear was that they would erode organisms to seize their power, and then transform the organisms into "buds" that would nurture their own clones.

The more predation, erosion, and parasitism there are, the more "corpses" will hang on the bone tree formed by the barbarian body.

They use the gaze of the 'corpses' to corrode more organisms, and the more 'corpses' they obtain, the stronger their corrosive ability will become.

These corpses are the soil they use to breed the "barbarian buds". When the flesh and blood are corroded, the corpses will fall off and grow into more "bone trees" on the ground! Grow into the "barbarian species"!

These extra bone trees, like the barbarians themselves, will corrode living things.

Their existence will expand the scope of biological invasion by the barbarians and increase the threat of the barbarians to the outside world. According to the information revealed by Cheng Shiyu, there has basically never been such a large-scale "bone forest" and no "barbarians" posing such a great threat before!

"It's really interesting."

Li Re responded in this way to the 'Little Sword Immortal' who explained a lot to him.

"What... do you want to do again!?"

Cheng Shiyu took a deep breath. She looked at Li Re's burning gaze and could easily guess what he was thinking. Knowing that this guy was trying to get himself killed again, the girl couldn't help but whisper again, "Don't mess around - I should have made it very clear just now, right?"

"This thing is not easy to provoke - if we want to deal with it, we must be more fully prepared..."

"We need something to attract the attention of those corpses." Li Re interrupted the little sword fairy.

"Uh..." Cheng Shiyu blinked and thought to herself that this was indeed the right method. This was exactly what she wanted to say - find objects that can withstand the erosion and parasitism of the 'barbarians' gaze, then launch a surprise attack in secret and chop off the heads of the corpses on the trees. This is also the method used by the 'border troops' to fight against the erosion of the barbarians.

However...

"This thing must withstand the erosion of the tree's 'savage buds'."

Li Re continued.

He added: "Moreover, it must be a living creature—"

After hearing this, the little sword fairy finally understood what Li Re was planning.

"You want to bear the erosion of the barbarian sprouts yourself?" She couldn't help but puff up her cheeks and said, "Have you had enough of living?"

"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."

Li Re smacked his lips and said, "But do you think I look like I'm dying?"

Cheng Shiyu was finally completely speechless!

At this moment, the evening breeze came slowly from the lush forest, still gently swaying the strange and terrifying "bone forest" full of dead bodies of living creatures in this vast "open space".

At this moment, the 'Chixiao Sword' was suspended in the air beside the girl, and the flashing sword light expanded like a wall, forming a curtain that blocked her vision.

But behind this red 'curtain'.

Cheng Shiyu could see Li Re's figure still standing upright, the spiritual fire on his body was strong and visible to the naked eye - the damage caused by the half-eye contact with the barbarian was recovering rapidly!

But in an instant he was unharmed!

What a strong recovery ability!

"It's pretty clear now, isn't it?"

Li Re spread his hands and said, "This thing can't kill me - I am the only one who is most suitable to attract attention and withstand erosion!"

Li Re was also eager to try.

After all, just half a glance won't kill him.
