Chapter 247 Count Engel’s adventures, the essence of life

 “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.

In addition to being lucky at the beginning, the entire Knights of Dressrosa 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.

"Your Majesty, we are here to hold on, you retreat first!"

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

"Yes, my lord, please retreat quickly. Only then will you be able to survive."

　　Michael also spoke. At this moment, his face was equally pale. 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.

 A voice of surprise sounded.

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

But it was just a moment.

 “Boom!”

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.

 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.

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

 “Boom!”

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

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

 “Your Majesty, Count?”

“Since we came together, it’s impossible for me to escape alone.”

The mixed sounds instantly brought Count Engel back to his senses.

 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.

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

 In a dark cave.

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

 The group of people quickly headed deeper.

 “Your Majesty, there is an underground river inside the cave!”

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

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

"Walk!"

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

“Don’t worry, we won’t die, we’d better leave quickly!”

And the cliffs in the outside world are still collapsing, and the third-level magical beasts are completely trapped in them, while the third-level magical beasts in the outside world are blocked from the stone wall.

 The crowd relied on their powerful perception and quickly retreated deeper.

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

"good!"

 “That thing can’t stop them for long!”

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

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

Count Engel’s voice sounded.

 “Everyone retreat into the caves!”

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

The stone wall is not very heavy, so a third-level monster would have to struggle to get up.

 “Pfft!”

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

 “I’ll take the back seat!”

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.

"shut up!"

 The body moves forward quickly.

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

 “Go down~!”

Count Engel did not hesitate at all, and immediately motioned for everyone to descend into the underground river.

The dark river is very dangerous. If you enter the dark river, you can undoubtedly completely eliminate their smell, and then quickly leave this place from the dark 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!”

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

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

 Continuously move 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 a little blurry.

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, this is not the exit!”

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

　　Then figures appeared one after another, 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!” said a hoarse voice. Count Engel steeled himself and gave orders 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 recovery.

 Not just him, but others too.

"good!"

Although Michael's expression was ugly, he did not hesitate to face 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 he arrived, a 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 himself 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.

 The fourth-level peak monster is still a threat.

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

 “Gudong!”

 High-level recovery potion, quickly enters the mouth.

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

 The surrounding knights also began to recover after swallowing the life potion.

 Time passes slowly.

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

 “Hoo!”

After exhaling a breath of turbidity, 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.

Compared to his heyday, his strength is now only about 30% at most.

It may not be a big problem to deal with ordinary sky knights or ordinary fourth-order monsters, but it is only average. Facing a peak fourth-order monster, and a monster with 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 another bottle of high-level recovery potion is impossible.”

Michael gave a bitter smile. Although he was only an Earth Knight, his injuries were not lighter than Count Engel's. Similarly, even high-level recovery potions could not completely repair his injuries.

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

 Sighing 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. It is conceivable that once the war resumes, it is conceivable.

Even that fourth-level peak monster should not be in its prime, but the monster's body 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.

 Just as Count Engel watched, 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.

 “Your Majesty, Count?”

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

 “Let’s go over and have 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 him quickly.

 The two of them 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 liquid exuding a strong breath of life appears in the center of the tree roots.

"This is?"

 The same words came out, but this time it was Michael.

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 experienced.

 Of course this is not critical.

 The key role of life essence.

As an existence born from a thousand-year-old ancient tree, the life essence 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 just one drop is enough to attract countless sky powerhouses to go crazy throughout the entire continent. Even the powerhouses in the Holy Domain and even the general powerhouses in the God 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 have been favored by the goddess of life!”

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