Within the original borders of the Empire was the land that Roland had reclaimed and roughly explored. Outside the original borders, however, was the land that he had never set foot on before.
Of course, the dangers were not as great as before because of the previous Beast Tide. However, this was a land that they had not set foot in for hundreds of years. It could be said that it was full of unknowns.
Sirene still adopted a very cautious attitude. She slowly explored and nibbled away at the land.
However, the current situation was much better than before.
Because of the help of the Heroes!
Currently, there were close to two million Heroes who came to Roland from the other world. Not only did these two million Heroes possess miraculous resurrection skills, but they were also Elementalists!
Xilin could not imagine what two million Elementalists were. What kind of concept was that?
Five years ago, the Roland Empire did not have more than 20,000 Elementalists. At that time, the population of Roland was much greater than now.
This was enough to show how precious Elementalists were. However, all common sense was now shattered by the Heroes.
Two million Elementalists from the other world, each of them possessed extraordinary talents and miraculous Racial Skills.
To be honest, apart from being happy and grateful, Sirene also felt fear sometimes.
This was an incomparably huge force, and it was still expanding. Every once in a while, a large number of new warriors would appear.
This was different from what she had imagined.
Sirene could not help but worry that if the number of Heroes continued to increase, would they one day surpass the population of Roland? Would they one day seize control of Roland?
She told this to Snow, but Snow did not seem to be worried. Instead, he asked her to interact more with the Heroes.
Sirene did not understand the source of Snow's confidence, but she was willing to believe in him. After all, Snow had led them and witnessed too many miracles.
Therefore, she took the initiative to approach the Heroes.
The Heroes were indeed a very strange group of people. They had all kinds of strange ideas. During the process of fighting together and reclaiming their homeland, Sirene felt this at all times.
However, they also had good qualities.
For their comrades, they could risk their lives. For the sake of the team, they could sacrifice themselves. They obeyed orders and sometimes even blindly.
They were always so optimistic. They laughed and joked every day as if nothing could defeat them. They were full of curiosity and a strong interest in this world.
At the same time, they were so friendly, respectful, and humble to the people of Roland. Most of the time, they were even flattering.
Yes, flattering. This feeling was especially obvious when facing powerful people or people with special identities.
Of course, they were warm and friendly to the ordinary people. This could be seen from their daily interactions with the soldiers.
Sirene could not help but recall what Snow told her.
"Perhaps one day, the Heroes, Roland, but this is inevitable......................................................
"What we can do is to establish a good relationship with most of the Brave Ones and win their hearts when they are still weak."
"But you don't have to be too deliberate. Just remember that we are equal and respect each other."
Sirene took a deep breath and pulled herself out of the mess of thoughts. She returned to the task at hand.
Now, they adopted the method of exploring in small teams. They sneaked into the jungle to collect information and avoid large-scale casualties.
Each team had a configuration of ten people. Four of them were Roland soldiers and six were Heroes.
After these days of fighting, they had a tacit understanding of each other and could effectively reduce casualties. However, the casualties were mostly Heroes. They spared no effort to protect the Roland soldiers.
Just as they had predicted, because the Beast Tide had been cleared, there were not many Interstellar Beasts around. The biggest problem was the mutated plants along the way.
These plants were not controlled by Wood Elementalists. They were aggressive and had all kinds of strange characteristics. They were even more difficult to deal with than the Interstellar Beasts.
"Damn, are these plants? They are clearly Bosses! "
A player complained in a low voice.
A dozen meters away from them, a big tree towered into the clouds. Its whole body was covered with purple-black vines and was filled with a dark aura.
Through detection and identification, they found that the information only showed that it was unfathomable. This meant that this strange big tree was at least four-star.
This was because their strength was generally close to four-star!
"Have we left the beginner area and started to enter a map with intermediate and high-level monsters?"
Another player said.
Right at this moment, the expression of one of the soldiers in the squad suddenly changed. He shouted, "Not good, run!"
However, it was obviously too late when he said this.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a black vine broke out of the ground and wrapped around the soldier who had just spoken.
Meanwhile, the vines on the tree that had been standing still earlier parted, revealing a wriggling black tree hole that looked like an open mouth.
The vines tightly wrapped around the soldier. The soldier could not help but scream as he was dragged all the way to the black tree hole. If he was sent into the black tree hole, his ending would be obvious!
"F * ck you!"
The other players in the team were furious.
After these days of fighting together, they had already treated the NPC soldier as one of their own. If they watched him being eaten by a monster, not only would they be laughed at by the other players, they would also not be able to get over it.
"Watch me!"
A heavy sword flew out and slashed at the black vine, making a clanging sound.
Then, in front of everyone's eyes, the heavy sword once again bounced out at a higher speed than before and stabbed into a rock —
The outer skin of the black vine was extremely tough, even tougher than metal!
"Damn, why can't I cut it?"
Xiao Ye said in disbelief. His Metal Transformation Heavy Sword had already reached level four, it had already reached the level where it could cut through metal like mud.
However, it only left a white mark on the black vine!
This was ridiculously strong!
What was worse was that the vine seemed to be able to feel pain. After being cut, the strange big tree suddenly let out an ear-piercing shriek.
Not only was the shriek unpleasant, it also had attack power!
The other three soldiers subconsciously covered their ears. As for the one who was wrapped by the vine, blood flowed out of his ears. While screaming, he fainted from the pain!
"Damn, what's going on?"
The players were simply caught off guard.
Because they had lowered the sense of reality, they did not feel anything. However, the sound wave attack was too strong, their HP dropped very quickly.
The Light Elementalist kept casting Light Heal to heal the fainted soldier, saving his life.
The players drank health potions one after another, then tried their best to save the soldier. As for attacking the boss? It was better to wait for the main team to come!
However, the vines could not be cut by blades, and could not be burned by fire. Other than making the big tree let out an even sharper shriek, it was useless. Moreover …
Even more vines shot out from the ground!
"Quickly retreat! Take Paul and the others and retreat first! "
The leader's expression was solemn. He finally gave the order to retreat, letting the three players take the heavily injured soldier and leave first.
The rest stayed and continued to try to rescue the soldier.
However, as if it had seen through their intentions, the big tree suddenly stopped shrieking. A black gas spread out from the open tree hole, quickly covering the surrounding area.
"This gas is poisonous!"
The leader's expression changed slightly.
This boss was too strong. Based on its strength, it would take a hundred-man team to push it! The monsters in the middle-advanced maps were too scary!
The players who were preparing to retreat with the soldiers on their backs became extremely slow —
Poison effect, paralysis, dizziness, confusion of perception!
Taking advantage of their hindrance, the black vines wrapped around the six of them and dragged them back.
Recently, the active interstellar beasts had decreased, and this big tree had not eaten for a long time. Today, it could finally eat to its heart's content. None of these snacks could escape!
"What should we do? If this continues, Paul and the others will die here. "
The Light Elementalist was also wrapped by the vines. She did not care about her own life, only about the NPCs in the team. She said with red eyes.
"Why is the reinforcement team not here yet?!"
The voices of the other teams sounded in the channel. However, they were a little far away. By the time they arrived, this team would probably have become the big tree's meal.
The leader had no choice but to report the information about the big tree in the public channel so that the people who came later could push the monster.
Just as everyone was in despair, a light breeze suddenly blew, and then …
Swish — Swish — Swish —
The sound of a sword cutting through the air was heard.
Immediately after, the vines that were entangled around the ten-man team suddenly broke apart one by one, spurting out black liquid.
At the same time, the players heard a familiar melody. The melody was full of the breath of life, making people feel hopeful —
"F * ck, it's the Germinal Seed!"
"It's the Germinal Seed of His Majesty Xiao Luo!"
"My Health Points are full! It's His Majesty Xiao Luo, it's really him! "
In this music, all the players' Health Points were fully recovered in less than ten seconds. Although the four NPC soldiers were still half Health Points, they were temporarily out of danger —
Even if they had fainted and were deaf, the Sound Element could directly affect their brains!
Moreover, after the vines were cut off, although the big tree was still screaming, its voice seemed to be blocked. Since they couldn't hear it, they naturally couldn't receive any damage!
Then, a sword energy flashed, and the big tree that was more than level 50 was cut in half, revealing a purplish-black heart in the middle of the trunk.
As the heart was cut in half, the tree monster's Health Points were directly reduced to zero.
The players stared blankly at this scene. Soon, the light-type player pointed at the sky and shouted, "Look!"
A snow-white figure was floating in the air, and a white cloak embroidered with golden patterns fluttered behind him. A drop of black liquid slid down the blade in his hand and dripped onto the ground.
The players stared at him, momentarily at a loss for words.
Si Sheng glanced back at them and took out a potion from the void. After tossing it to them, he disappeared in a flash.
When he was completely out of sight, the players couldn't help but scream.
"Ahhhh! It's the Guardian God Si Sheng!"
"Why is he here?!"
