"Why did you go downstairs?"

The Onion Knight watched Su Ziyu jump down, and quickly stood up, carrying the two-handed sword and chasing after him. His round body rolled very flexibly to relieve the force, and then he said helplessly: "But there is nothing we can do now."

"Jack Baldo from the Catalina Knights is here to help!"

The Onion Knight shouted loudly, swung his sword and chopped at the fire demon's butt.

In this world, the Onion Knight does not refer to a certain person, but to all the knights from Catalina. They all wear thick and heavy arc-shaped armor, so compared with the upright and majestic knights in the general sense, they appear to be extremely bloated - sometimes even looking like a huge, self-moving onion.

However, their armors that look a bit funny are not simple. The weight of this set of armor is extraordinary, and its defensive capabilities are also top-notch in this world. If you are not a warrior with extraordinary strength, it will be difficult to move while wearing them.

Therefore, the Onion Knights who wander and adventure outside in this world are all very powerful, and those with weaker combat power cannot afford to wear heavy armor and run around.

This time it was Su Ziyu who attracted the enemy's firepower, while the Onion Knight used his greatsword to madly attack the Fire Demon's butt.

This fire demon was about four meters tall, and its weapon was a giant axe with burning sparks. Its skin was like a tree trunk, and there were a lot of burning ashes on the surface. The surrounding area was full of zombie remains. There should have been a lot of wandering souls here at the beginning, but it seemed that they were all killed by this fire demon.

Demons rarely run around; they are born in the hotbed of chaos and like to live in dark and filthy places.

clang!

The Irithyll straight sword in Su Ziyu's hand is more useful than expected. Although it doesn't sound like a particularly powerful weapon, in fact it fully demonstrates the combat effect that a high-level magic item should have.

Almost every time he swung his sword, the fire demon in front of him would let out a painful scream, and the sparks on its body surface would go out, just like a firewood that had been poured with a basin of water. Not only was the ice attribute magic attached to the Irithyll straight sword, it also had a special effect similar to "cold poison". Su Ziyu attacked the fire demon in front of him about three times in a row, and the ice magic that had eroded the enemy's body would suddenly burst out, forming a light white frost directly on its body surface.

This is because the enemy is a fire demon. If it were an ordinary monster, even its blood vessels might have been frozen.

“The source of the contamination here has not yet been found.”

"Should we use psychic assistance now?" Su Ziyu was not worried about himself, he was just afraid that the Onion Knight would be accidentally killed by the Fire Demon.

After all, it is a demon that weighs several tons. Although Su Ziyu saw that the Onion Knight was very flexible when rolling, he was really afraid that he would be trampled to death by the Fire Demon. He finally met a normal person with whom he could communicate, and even if he looked a little silly, he couldn't let him die so easily.

Fortunately, the Onion Knight showed flexibility that was inconsistent with his bloated body. After a series of slashes, he actually cut off the fire demon's tail.

——"Flame Gem (Magic Item): A gem with powerful flame power that can give weapons fire attributes."

The more than two-meter-long demon tail broke off, and as it gradually turned into ashes, a crystal red light was revealed.

Of course, Su Ziyu couldn't take the spoils at this time. He just took a look and jumped up to chop at the head of the Fire Demon. Now he had to attract the enemy's hatred, because after cutting off the tail, the Fire Demon wanted to turn around and chase the Onion Knight.

Fight till now.

Su Ziyu also discovered that the fire demon in front of him was not made of ordinary flesh and blood. Its body seemed to be mixed with crystals. It was as hard as stone, and powder would fall off if it was chopped.

It's different from other worlds.

The monsters in this world have a very obvious characteristic, that is, they have thick skin, thick blood, amazing defense, and quite rich fighting skills. After all, this world has maintained a history of cold weapon combat for tens of thousands of years.

Fortunately, they do not have the terrifying regeneration ability like the deformed creatures in the wasteland world.

The monsters in this plane just have longer health bars and strong vitality, but their recovery ability is very low. The monster with the best recovery ability that Su Ziyu has encountered can still drink the embers of the elemental bottle.

A burst of ping-pong output.

The entire battle lasted nearly five minutes, and the two men finally killed the fire demon.

"Huh..." The Onion Knight sat down on the ground again after finishing the battle. He looked at the demon corpse in front of him and laughed, "Well done! But don't do that again!"

"You are embers without fire."

"It must have a mission."

At this point, the Onion Knight took out a jug of wine from his pocket, raised it and said, "But now, let's have a drink to celebrate! Haha!..."

mission?

Kill those salary kings?

The problem is that I am also a salary king.

Su Ziyu turned around and looked at Sister Friede who had just jumped down from the tower, and raised his hand to pick up the large soul dropped by the fire demon. This onion knight didn't seem to care about the spoils, whether it was the soul dropped by the demon or the fire gem emerging from the tail, he didn't even look at it, instead he took off his mask and drank a sip of wine.

At this time, Su Ziyu also saw the appearance of the Onion Knight clearly.

Normal person.

It wasn't a zombie, but a middle-aged man with a beard. He had an ordinary face, but he looked a little silly. He turned to look at Su Ziyu and asked, "Would you like a drink?"

"We have defeated a powerful enemy, so we must celebrate it."

"cheers!"

The people of Catalina love to drink, and their knights are even more so.

Su Ziyu sniffed from a distance and found that the wine of the Onion Knight was very ordinary. He smiled and took out his magic gourd. The moment he opened the lid, the Onion Knight turned around with a surprised expression and murmured: "What a fragrance!..."

"Would you like a drink?" Su Ziyu asked with a smile, and glanced at Sister Friede who had just walked over.

Although she was just paddling the whole time, she still helped a lot after all.

According to the agreement, she was only Su Ziyu's guide.

"Haha!... Of course I have to try such fine wine!... Cheers!..." The Onion Knight gulped down his wine and handed over the jug.

He said he was going to have a drink, but in fact Su Ziyu just filled his wine jug to the brim.

I just finished pouring a portion of the immortal wine.

The Conquering Knight of the Frost Valley dropped a large soul, and the Fire Demon also dropped a large soul. Su Ziyu collected 1,000 energy points in two battles. The Onion Knight didn't want the spoils, and he didn't like to take advantage of others too much, so he simply gave the Onion Knight a whole pot of fairy wine.

Just 100 energy points.

It is not difficult to collect energy points in this world, and Su Ziyu doesn't feel bad about it at all.

"Ha!... It's really good wine!..." The Onion Knight took a big gulp of the wine and seemed to be a little drunk in an instant. He muttered to himself: "I didn't expect to be able to taste such good wine on the road..."

"There is no regret now..."

No regrets?

Su Ziyu, who was pouring wine for Sister Friede, turned around and glanced at the Onion Knight who was sitting cross-legged next to him. He always felt that what he said was a bit like his last words.

Sister Friede looked at the glass of wine in front of her.

Then, she tilted her head and looked at the Onion Knight who was drinking from a wine jug beside her. The nun couldn't help but bite her lip, her expression seemed a little subtle.

Su Ziyu pretended not to see it.

He really wanted Sister Friede to help him, but he had no way to get started. This nun didn't eat or drink. She only had a nun's robe and two sickles. When she had nothing to do, she was basically in a daze, as if she had no desires at all. Fairy wine is a fine wine brewed with energy value. Undead people drink it just like drinking an elemental bottle. The difference is that one drinks like magma, while the other drinks the best wine.

This was one of the few times Sister Friede showed a hint of desire. She drank it all in one gulp.

After Sister Friede drank the whole gulp of the elixir, a blush appeared on her beautiful face, and she looked a little tipsy. She couldn't drink much and had never drunk alcohol before, but for a fireless ember, it was very good to be able to savor this feeling of being tipsy.

Pure food has no taste to her.

"Where are you going next?" Su Ziyu drank a cup by himself, feeling the spiritual energy slowly recovering in his body, and said casually.

The Onion Knight seemed to be a little drunk. He moved his onion helmet in a naive manner and said incoherently, "Sin... The City of Sin..."

"As agreed."

"I should go and help an old friend get relief..."

The city of sin?

Isn't that the territory of the Giant King Youm?

Su Ziyu's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that anyone who could run around alone in this plane was not simple. In other words, basically none of the people who could survive to this day and still maintain their self-awareness were weak.

Su Ziyu was just about to continue testing.

The Onion Knight in front of him muttered in a daze: "Hmm... I want to take a nap... This wine has a strong aftereffect..."

"If you have something to do, please leave first..."

"Don't worry about me..."

A snoring sound was heard.

This Onion Knight fell asleep as soon as he said he would, and he fell asleep while sitting cross-legged. Su Ziyu used his spiritual sense to sense that he was actually sleeping, and he was sleeping soundly in this place full of zombies.

"All the knights of Catalina are like this..." The blush on Sister Friede's face had disappeared. She pointed to her head and gave Su Ziyu a look that said you understand.

That is a wise look.

Su Ziyu walked over in disbelief and flicked the other person's onion helmet with his finger.

No reaction at all.

Sleeping very soundly.

However, this set of armor is really like a turtle shell. He is not afraid of sneak attacks from ordinary monsters when sleeping like this, because ordinary weapons cannot penetrate his defense at all.

"Do you want to wake him up?" Sister Friede said with a playful expression.

"No need." Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "He is sleeping here, how can he run away?"

"Let's go look somewhere else first."

All the enemies encountered so far are polluted bodies. According to Su Ziyu's perception and the prompts of the Space-Time Monitor System, there should be a source of pollution in this place.

However, the location of the pollution source is difficult to capture, as if it is sealed and isolated by something.

"Are there any particularly powerful monsters here?" Su Ziyu stood up and turned to ask Sister Friede.

The source of pollution must be a BOSS-level creature.

Most of the enemies encountered so far are elite level, and none of them give Su Ziyu a strong sense of oppression.

The source of the pollution is nearby, but he can't locate the coordinates.

"Particularly powerful monster?" Sister Friede looked at the demon corpse not far away, frowned and thought for a while, then said, "There is a sealed ancient tree nearby."

"Do you want to go and see it?"

Su Ziyu nodded and said, "Where is it?"

"Over there." Sister Friede pointed to the distance and said slowly, "There used to be a sacred ancient tree in the Undead Settlement, but it seems to have been contaminated by a curse."

"The Lothric royal family has closed off the courtyard over there."

"It is said that it turned from a tree into a horrible monster. I have never been to see it before, so I am not very clear about it."

Ancient tree?

Su Ziyu stood up and asked curiously, "Tell me its story."

"Nothing special." Sister Friede recalled and said softly, "Some undead people want to seek liberation. It is said that it can absorb the curse of the undead and let the undead rest in peace."

“That’s how it was at the beginning.”

"But later the sacred ancient tree absorbed too many curses, and in the end it itself was affected by the curse and turned into a monster."

"The Lothric royal family has been holding it for some time."

At first, many undead wanted to be liberated, that is, to truly rest in peace, not to be resurrected, not to lose their humanity, and finally become crazy zombies. At the beginning, many undead were buried here, and the sacred ancient tree was responsible for absorbing the curse from them, but unexpectedly, the ancient tree itself could not hold on, and it was directly revived and turned into a twisted monster.

The royal family of Lothric imprisoned it, but the undead here still go to worship it.

Another tragedy.

It seems that the source of pollution that I sensed at the beginning was this ancient tree.

An aggregate of the undead curse?

Su Ziyu turned around and glanced at the Onion Knight who was snoring loudly. After thinking for a moment, he asked Sister Friede beside him, "Does it have any weaknesses?"

"I'm not sure." Sister Friede shook her head and said, "But all trees are afraid of fire, right?"

"Can I help you?"

Su Ziyu turned around in surprise and looked at Sister Friede's face, carefully observing her expression. After a pause, he slowly said, "Why are you suddenly willing to help? What do you want?"

"Ember." Sister Friede's expression was very calm. She met Su Ziyu's gaze and whispered, "I don't want the soul of the ancient tree. All the spoils are yours."

"I can even help you deal with other enemies."

"But you have to go somewhere with me too!"

Su Ziyu frowned slightly and asked slowly, "Where are we going?"

Sister Friede looked as if she was recalling something, and whispered, "The painting world of Eredel..."
