Fantasy Lord: Starting with the Pioneer Knight

"boom!"

The powerful life source surged, and Count Engel's face turned ugly. At this moment, his right hand had been pulled down, and he could only rely on his left hand to fight with the knight's sword. The nearly exhausted life source in his body made him unable to fight even at this moment. Flying is a bit difficult.

Apart from being lucky at the beginning, the entire Dressrosa Knights were undoubtedly unlucky in the following time.

First, he was attacked by a fourth-order monster, and it was also a peak fourth-order monster. Then he was attacked by several waves of third-order monsters. At this moment, he could no longer hold on.

"Lord Earl, we are holding on here, you retreat first!"

Michael's mouth was bleeding, and he spoke with a hint of anxiety.

"Yes, Lord Earl, please retreat quickly. Only then will you be able to survive."

Michael also spoke the same way, and his face was equally pale at this moment. The two of them were equally traumatized by the successive battles.

And more importantly, they were blocked in a cave at this moment. Except for Count Engel who could fly, it was almost impossible for others to escape.

"shut up!"

"Since we came together, it's impossible for me to escape alone."

Count Engel sounded with a deep voice, his face looked particularly ugly, and the power of the life seeds in his body was constantly squeezing, trying to burst out with more powerful power.

But the previous battle with the fourth-level peak monster made Count Engel a bit overdrawn. Even if he kept squeezing him at this moment, his strength would not be able to explode much.

But just when everyone was anxious, Count Engel was a little desperate.

A surprised voice sounded.

"My lord, there is an underground river inside the cave!"

The mix of voices instantly brought Count Engel back to his senses in a moment of silence.

After retreating into the cave, he sent people to explore the depths of the cave, and the results actually came out.

"Everyone retreat into the cave!"

"I'll take the back seat!!"

Count Engel's voice sounded.

"Walk!"

Michael and Cecil couldn't help but look happy, and then they no longer hesitated.

The two led the remaining knights to quickly evacuate towards the rear. As the knights evacuated, the pressure on Count Engel suddenly increased.

But it was only for a moment.

The next moment, a huge source of life force burst out, and a sword energy suddenly bombarded the stone wall of the cave.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

The sword energy bombarded, and in an instant the entire stone wall began to collapse rapidly. Before the third-level monsters had time to react, they were directly pressed down by the stone wall.

The weight of the stone wall is not great, so the third-level monster has to struggle to get up.

However, Count Engel did not give them any more opportunities. Several sword lights that squeezed the source of life rushed forward again, and then caused the entire cave to begin to collapse.

Count Engel's face turned pale, and his figure quickly retreated.

The cliffs in the outside world are still collapsing, and the third-level monsters in the outside world are completely suppressed in them. The third-level monsters in the outside world are blocked from the stone wall.

In a dark cave.

Relying on the powerful power of perception, everyone quickly retreated deeper.

It wasn't until he ran wildly for more than half an hour that he slowly stopped.

"Pfft!"

By this time, Count Engel couldn't bear the injury anymore, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. He staggered and almost fell, but fortunately, Michael had quick eyesight and quick hands to support Count Engel.

"My Lord Earl?"

Michael spoke, with a hint of worry in his expression.

"Don't worry, we won't die. We'd better leave quickly!"

"That thing can't stop them for long!"

Count Engel shook his head. He knew very well that the most terrifying thing was not the third-order monsters but the peak fourth-order monster. Although he was severely injured by his life-for-life strategy, the recovery ability of monsters was stronger than that of humans. You'll be able to catch up soon.

"good!"

Michael nodded, raised his hand, and carried Count Engel on his back.

Then the group of people quickly headed deeper.

At the same time, Cecil and a famous knight continued to destroy the cave.

Such behavior may be no less than digging their own graves. If there is no outlet for the underground river inside the cave, they may be trapped in it forever.

But they couldn't care about that at the moment.

If they don't continue to destroy them, once those monsters catch up, they will be dead.

The body moves forward quickly.

After walking for almost a quarter of an hour this time, everyone finally arrived at the underground river.

"Go down~!"

Without any hesitation, Count Engel immediately signaled everyone to descend into the underground river.

The underground river is very dangerous, but entering the underground river will undoubtedly completely eliminate their smell, and then quickly leave this place from the underground river. Even if the fourth-level monsters chase them, it will be difficult to catch them.

But if we don’t go down, that fourth-level monster may not be around for too long.

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

Voices rang out one after another, and soon one of the famous Dressrosa knights jumped down, and even Michael also jumped down with Count Engel on his back.

The underground river is very deep and very fast, but fortunately everyone has strong knight cultivation. Although the consumption is serious, they can still barely maintain it.

Keep moving forward along the underground river.

I don’t know how long it took, and I don’t know how long it lasted.

When Count Engel's consciousness gradually became blurred.

A flash of light appeared, and then everyone quickly moved towards the light.

Half an hour later, in an underground space, Michael emerged from the dark river with Count Engel breathing heavily.

"Damn it, this isn't the exit!"

Looking at the dim underground space surrounded by mud, Michael's expression changed.

Then one after another figures appeared, and their expressions also changed.

Because at this moment, what appeared in front of them was not an exit, and the light did not represent the outside world, but a faint light emitted by a huge root system in front of them. They were in an underground space, surrounded by soil, and there was no Any way out.

"Go up first and recover!"

Speaking in a hoarse voice, Count Engel steeled himself and gave instructions to everyone.

Whether this is an exit or not, Count Engel knows it.

Their current situation is no longer suitable for continued exploration. Once they encounter danger, the consequences are almost unpredictable.

What is needed most now is a return to form.

Not just him, but others too.

"good!"

Although Michael's face was ugly, he did not hesitate when faced with Count Engel's words, and quickly climbed up with Count Engel.

In the entire underground space, in addition to the lake formed by the underground river, there is also a large platform, and everyone arrived on the platform one after another.

As soon as they arrived, a famous knight fell directly to the ground.

After a long battle, not only Count Engel, Michael, and Cecil reached their limits, but they also reached their limits.

Count Engel waved his hand and distributed bottles of life potion, allowing everyone to recover.

He also took out a bottle of high-level recovery potion and drank it, and took out another bottle and handed it to Michael.

Although the price of high-level recovery potions is not as high as that of high-level life potions, it is much higher than that of mid-level recovery potions. One bottle is worth more than 50,000 gold coins, and two bottles are worth 100,000 gold coins. But at this moment, Count Engel Don't care about this either.

In this dangerous foreign world, he must restore his combat power as soon as possible, otherwise no one can predict what will happen.

That fourth-level peak monster is still a threat.

Since this is not an exit, then they have to go back the same way, or even better, there is a possibility that a fourth-level monster will come and kill them.

"Gudong!"

The high-level recovery potion quickly enters the mouth.

Waves of life force surged, and Count Engel's body began to emit a faint green brilliance, and the injuries around him began to slowly recover.

A knight around him also started to recover after swallowing the life potion.

Time passes slowly.

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and as the day passed, the effects of the high-level recovery medicine gradually wore off.

"call!"

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Count Engel couldn't help but sigh. Even the high-level recovery potion was dwarfed by his current overdraft. It only restored his broken right arm. The overdraft of life source power in his body, as well as the suppression Even the utmost mental strength cannot be recovered.

Now compared to his heyday, his strength is only about 30% at most.

It may not be a big problem to deal with ordinary sky knights or ordinary fourth-level monsters, but it is only average. Facing the peak fourth-order monsters, and also possessing part of the dragon bloodline, it can basically go to sleep. .

"Michael, how are you?"

Count Engel looked at Michael, who also had his eyes open, and spoke inquiringly.

"About 50% has been recovered. If you want to fully recover, even if you take another bottle of advanced recovery potion, it will be impossible."

Michael smiled bitterly. Although he was only an Earth Knight, his injuries were no lighter than Count Engel's. Similarly, even high-level recovery potions could not completely repair his injuries.

After hearing Michael's words, Count Engel couldn't help but shake his head.

Some sighed slightly.

Being able to seriously injure that fourth-level peak dragon monster, on the one hand, he did not want his life, and on the other hand, Michael also played a great supporting role.

Now he has not recovered, and neither has Michael. Once they fight again, it can be imagined.

Even that fourth-level peak magic beast should not be in its prime, but the body of the magic beast is much stronger than that of humans. Even if it is equally severely injured, it can recover faster.

Shaking his head, Count Engel slowly stood up and began to look around.

Since he couldn't fight, he had to think of other ways.

But when Count Engel looked at it, there was a hint of shock in his expression.

"This is?"

Muttering to himself, his eyes couldn't help but fixate on the huge tree roots that were emitting a faint light.

"My Lord Earl?"

Hearing Count Engel's words, Michael was a little confused and subconsciously looked at where Count Engel was looking.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look!"

Count Engel's heart beat suddenly, he spoke quickly, and his figure headed towards the center where the tree roots were intertwined.

The sudden words and actions made Michael even more confused, but the figure still followed quickly.

The two swept in this direction and arrived at the other side of the platform.

At this moment, it is another scene.

A large number of densely packed huge tree roots are intertwined together, and they are all emitting a faint light at this moment. In the gathering of this faint light, a group of liquid exuding a strong life breath appears in the center of the tree roots.

"This is?"

The same words came out, this time from Michael.

But at this moment, Count Engel could not help but breathe heavily, with an expression of uncontrollable excitement.

"Essence of life!"

Muttering to himself, Count Engel's excited expression was filled with a touch of trance.

It wasn't that he wasn't calm enough, but what appeared in front of him made his soul tremble with excitement.

Thousand-year-old trees are enough to give birth to sacred tree fruits.

To give birth to the essence of life, you need ancient trees that are at least ten thousand years old, and it is not just ten thousand years old. In fact, it is possible to give birth to ancient trees that are at least fifty thousand years old, and most of them only have one drop. It is so huge in front of you. It's hard to imagine how many years the ancient tree that gave birth to it has gone through.

Of course this is not critical.

The role of key life essence.

As an existence born from a thousand-year-old ancient tree, the essence of life inherently carries a huge source of life force, which is not only enough to help knights practice, but can also forcibly improve the knight's talent and increase the knight's life, which means that it can make people live longer.

Even if it is just a drop, it is enough to attract countless strong men in the sky to go crazy throughout the entire continent. Even the strong men in the Holy Realm, and even the general strong men in the Divine Realm, will probably not give up on this kind of existence.

But there is actually a large group here, and it seems that the number may be no less than twenty drops.

"Gudong!"

"Am I dreaming!"

Michael also subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva at this moment and couldn't help mumbling to himself. He obviously also knew what the essence of life was.

"It seems that this time, like Thor, we are favored by the goddess of life!"

Count Engel recovered from the shock and couldn't help but chuckle.
