Staring at the liquid that continued to boil and bubble even after hitting the ground, a possibility suddenly occurred to him: "Could this be the venomous blood of the feathered serpent...?"
The moment the words left his mouth, he instinctively felt he had hit the nail on the head. He glanced at the sword demon, who was most likely responsible for everything; the demon's face was pale, and he clenched his teeth, offering no explanation. Looking up again, he could indeed see the towering tree, its once lush canopy now showing signs of decay and death.
The conclusion is already clear.
I finally gave up on continuing this thankless task, exchanged glances with Sheng and the others to confirm, and then turned around and focused on running.
“During the previous emergency mission, Sword Demon told us that the entrance was blocked. I wonder what will happen this time.” Sheng seemed a little worried, but in the end, he decided to put aside these messy thoughts for now. “Let’s get here first. Compared to before, although we are still being chased, at least we have other methods now.”
"You mean, that tool?" I understood.
Before the gathering, in order to follow the original route, we visited many people in the settlement, including the Great Sage who died before we even had a chance to meet him, and the elf that Thrall mentioned possessed the tool that could open a door to the settlement for easy access.
Although it took some effort, the feint worked. Before the other party could react, we had already taken the tools he was carrying and replaced them with a bundle of grass of the same shape and roughly the same weight.
I had originally planned to return it after I finished studying it, but given the current situation, it may no longer be necessary.
As we expected, the abandoned entrance remained in the same abandoned state as before. Neither violent pulling nor injecting magic had much effect, so in the end we had to use the tools at hand.
Surprisingly, it opened up very smoothly, feeling like using an awl and hammer to break open jade. A little magic flowed from the palm of my hand, opening a path in the direction of the force, and soon a faint ray of light shone from the other side.
After thinking for a moment, he handed the two items to the expert who used similar weapons. The sword demon, who had followed in silence, looked puzzled but still reached out and took them, assuming a ready stance in a professional manner.
As expected, the addition of sword energy made the work more efficient, clearing the blocked path in no time. At this point, the slowly approaching tumors were a considerable distance away.
The joy of success thrilled everyone.
Even when I see the still-present dark red warning again, I no longer feel anxious.
"Let's leave here."
Saying this, he tried to open the passage again.
Light began to shine through from the opposite side.
Then, once again, I received a warning that sounded like mockery.
[Warning: You will be subject to mandatory punishment.]
Darkness surged in from the opened passage.
