Chapter 163

No, weren't we chatting just now?! Why did it suddenly show blood?

The scene before her really caught Ye Bai off guard. Then, through the words of the Elf Queen and the information she had obtained before, she immediately realized that this Inolucia in the middle layer must have the memory of the time when Purgatory invaded the Emerald Forest, so she was so hostile to Purgatory.

The high elves are one of the most vengeful races in the entire game, so Inolusia, who seemed very friendly the moment before, turned hostile in an instant.

But the biggest question is, how could Ino Lucia say that she had the aura of purgatory?

Ye Bai's head was full of doubts for a moment. She still had the titles of "Purgatory Warrior" and "Fear of Snake Demon" for killing the Snake Demon Lord. Any relationship with Purgatory should be an opposition.

But the next moment, the queen, who had transformed into a combat form, had a wooden longbow in her hand.

The longbow looked extremely simple, as if it was made from a naturally curved branch without any forging or polishing. However, from the familiar energy and aura on it, Ye Bai immediately realized that the branch that made up the bow and arrow was made from the same branch of a living tree as the pendant around her waist.

The Tree of Life is arguably the most powerful mythical item in the universe, on the same level as the Core of Purgatory. Weapons made from branches of the Tree of Life are worthy of being called semi-artifacts, if not artifacts.

Damn it! This is for real!

Ye Bai's scalp tingled instantly, and he immediately explained, "I have nothing to do with Purgatory! Oh, and I even participated in killing a Purgatory Lord!"

Hearing this, Ino Lucia paused slightly, her deep blue eyes locked onto Ye Bai tightly, and she spoke coldly:

"The disgusting aura of purgatory is hidden in you. I am not wrong."

Hearing this, Ye Bai's mind quickly pondered where the purgatory aura that the queen mentioned came from. It must be something on her body. When she went to purgatory before, most of her gains were in the deep sea. Apart from the title and experience, the only real spoils of purgatory were the crystallization of the Snake Demon Lord, but that thing had been given to Felix a long time ago.

Besides that, the only thing from Purgatory... was the Branch of Life around her waist. But wasn't that a token from the God King? And in this dream state, was the essence of the paper man still there?

However, Ye Bai immediately took the Branch of Life from his waist and gestured to Inolucia, "Is this it? This is the key I obtained from the wound of the Infernal Devil. Is it tainted with the aura of Purgatory?"

Perhaps sensing Ye Bai's title, Inolucia showed a little hesitation and paused again.

Then the Elf Queen set her eyes on the branch of the Life Branch, concentrating on sensing something.

'It turns out that the Branch of Life has been on the wound of the Purgatory Demon for too long, and it has been contaminated with the breath of the Purgatory Core...' Ye Bai thought to himself when he saw this.

Just as Ye Bai was gradually feeling relieved, thinking that the problem was with the Branch of Life, Ino Lucia's gaze suddenly moved away from the Branch of Life and fell on her again.

"No, the aura of purgatory is upon you, cunning villain!"

Inolucia's expression changed completely. The elegant and majestic queen showed obvious annoyance on her face, as if she had just been fooled by Ye Bai.

"Let me explain..."

However, the next moment, Inollucia raised her free slender finger, and as she began to draw the bow, a red energy bowstring appeared out of thin air on the branch of life that originally had no bowstring.

Ye Bai was very familiar with this color of energy bow. This was the signature skill of the elves' magic archers, [Mark of Hatred].

Hatred Mark is an extremely powerful tracking skill and also the starting point of the Magic Archer's damage combo. After the enemy is hit, the archer can sense the target's location, and subsequent attacks can cause additional damage.

"I'll look for the reason again!"

Ye Bai wanted to cry but had no tears. It was such an unexpected disaster. Even though she was now a third-level player with extremely high attributes and the artifact "Code of Death" in her hand, wasn't it too much for her to fight against a god-level BOSS!

Moreover, the Elf Queen is no ordinary god-level being. As the king of a top tribe, she is also the strongest among the high elves, and her strength ranks among the top among all the god-level beings.

What's worse is that as a long-range half-magic and half-physical profession, the magic archer's professional characteristics are extremely restrained by Ye Bai's magic profession!

But Ino Lucia, who believed that Ye Bai was hiding something, obviously would no longer listen to her explanation.

"call out!"

A red special energy arrow shot out from the bow in Inolucia's hand at an extremely fast speed. Almost the next moment after it appeared, it reached Ye Bai's position.

[Mark of Hatred] is a locking attack. The arrow shot from Inolosia's hand can even travel through space to complete the tracking. Otherwise, the Infernal Demon who is good at space magic would not have a branch of life on his body.

At the moment when the arrow was about to hit, Ye Bai's figure disappeared instantly. The strange red arrow fell to the ground and instantly turned into a red light and disappeared.

"Huh?" There was obvious surprise in Inolucia's eyes, and then she seemed to sense something, and turned her head, her eyes locked again on Ye Bai who appeared in another place.

He actually dodged...

Even the locking skill that can chase through space was used by Ye Bai to "jump" past the time when it should have hit. This is the flexibility and unpredictability of time magic.

However, Inollucia was only briefly surprised. At the same time, her hand had already landed on the bowstring, and a green energy bowstring and arrow appeared.

"Swish!" The second arrow was shot out again at an extremely fast speed.

With such a short time interval, the cooldown of the breakpoint transition has not yet expired, so Ye Bai can only use other methods to avoid it.

Bullet Time

In an instant, the world slowed down in front of Ye Bai's eyes, and the trajectory of the energy arrow became very obvious.

Ye Bai tried to dodge to the side, but she immediately discovered that as she moved, the green light arrow that was still flying slowly in the air also deflected.

As expected of an arrow released by a hundred-level god, not only are there hatred marks, but all attacks from Inolusia also have automatic tracking and locking capabilities.

Before the breakpoint jump cooldown time is ready, Ye Bai cannot dodge this attack like he did just now. He can only let it hit him, otherwise it will catch up with him no matter how he dodges.

The only thing to do is to minimize the damage...

The arrow was aimed at Ye Bai's heart. If it was hit, it would trigger a vital attack. She moved her body in bullet time and actively stretched out her shoulder, allowing the green arrow to brush past her shoulder diagonally.

The reason why Ye Bai did not choose her limbs was that if the attack damage was too high, it might trigger a disabled state and reduce her own flexibility.

'-3213'

The flow of time in front of her eyes returned to normal. After a slight pain, she lost one-fifth of her blood under Ye Bai's frightened gaze.

At first glance, compared to the god-level, one-fifth of the health is considerable, but you have to know that this damage is not real numerical damage. The magic archer's attack carries physical and magical damage, and the magic effect damage is more, which has been greatly reduced by Ye Bai's high magic resistance from various encounters and the profession of spellbreaker.

Moreover, this damage is reduced after the attack is 'deflected'.

If Ye Bai had not gained a lot of resistance in the Dragonborn Dungeon, if she was not a Spellbreaker, if she had not eaten two fruits of the Tree of Life, this arrow alone would be enough to kill her instantly.

If he had known this would happen, Ye Bai would have at least "packed" the fruit of life that the Elf Queen in the lower level had given him, no matter how strange it looked.

At the same time, when she saw that Ye Bai was still alive after being hit, the expression of Ino Lucia opposite her changed again.

The Elf Queen in her combat form became completely serious and expressed her approval of Ye Bai's strength:

"As expected of a hellish villain who dares to come before me."

Ye Bai: "I...ah..."

The Elf Queen once again raised the bow in her hand, preparing to shoot new arrows.

Of course, the serious Inolucia did not only attack with bows and arrows. At this time, around Ye Bai, the various dangerous plants that had been separated before began to shrink towards her. Vines, offensive plants, poisonous plants... all cooperated with the queen's attack.

The entire second-level space composed of the tree of life was now active and regarded Ye Bai as an enemy.

The only consolation was that Inolucia, who was in a 'grudge' state, was still as forgetful as ever, and Ottophis, who had no purgatory aura, jumped to the side and was not affected by the battle.

At this time, Ye Bai suddenly realized that the reason why there were so many aggressive plants here was probably because they were influenced by Inollucia's will and were always on alert.

Shaking his head helplessly, Ye Bai's expression became serious. If fighting could not be avoided, he had to find a way to win.

Under normal circumstances, a third-level profession that has not even reached the level of a demigod can be said to be "unchallengeable" when facing a god-level strongman. In addition to the huge difference in strength, another reason for this unchallengeability is rank suppression.

It is possible for a third-level player to kill a demigod BOSS with human wave tactics, but it is impossible to kill a god in the same way, because divine creatures have damage immunity, and the attacks of the third-level profession cannot break the defense of a powerful god at all.

But now Ye Bai can be the exception, because she also has an important title [God Slayer], which can ignore the damage immunity of all divine creatures, including the god-level Inorusia in front of her.

The next moment, the snow-colored object in Ye Bai's hand disappeared and turned into a pitch-black code with golden and red magic words written on the cover.

"boom……"

A cold and numb feeling enveloped Ye Bai, two clusters of soul flames rose from her eyes, and she once again turned into an undead form.

"This is... the power of death."

Inolucia's expression changed again. Ye Bai really brought her too many surprises.

And this time, the leaves of the Tree of Life behind the Elf Queen, which seemed to have remained unchanged for eternity, were also rustling, and were covered with a layer of emerald green light.

The Tree of Life, which is composed of the law of life, was also inspired to gain power after sensing the Code of Death, which is the embodiment of the law of death.
