Chapter 4 Chapter 1 Stormguard

"Where is this?" Looking at this desolate space, I asked. "Here, here..." the little dryad Balfour tried to insert his slender roots into the ground, while looking around in doubt, hesitantly said, "Here, here seems to be... miserable, master, this is the wind element space , let’s admit defeat quickly, or we will die here.” The Dryad Balfour waved its branch anxiously. The surroundings were as quiet as barren mountains and wild mountains, without a breath of wind.I was puzzled and said: "Since this is a space of the wind system, why is there no wind at all?"

The little dryad Balfour said anxiously: "The wind here has been absorbed by the storm guards. Let's, let's get out of here, master, few people have been able to pass through this floor for hundreds of years." I was surprised and said: "Hundreds of years, how do you know what happened hundreds of years ago?" The little Dryad Balfour said, "My mother told me..." "What are Stormguards?" "The Storm Guards are, they are... ah, they are coming, they are coming!" the little Dryad Balfour screamed as if frightened. I looked into the distance, and at the edge of this layer of space, several strange creatures with a height of three meters appeared. They looked like a large group of walking air currents. Most of the cyclones hold knives and axes in their hands, and they look tall and mighty.

Their moving speed seems to be slow, but through Xiaohu's scan, I found that the speed of these whirlwind-like beings has reached 60 to 70 meters per second. "Is this the Stormguard?" I said. "It doesn't look like anything special." "As long as you defeat them, you should be able to pass through this space." I drew out the "Sword of Black Mountain". The little dryad Balfour seemed very afraid of these creatures, and stammered: "Master, master, the Storm Guards are very cruel, let's admit defeat." "Hey? Aren't you the most evil and ferocious dryad?" I looked down at it and said, "Aren't you afraid?"

With the great strength this little tree spirit showed when he fought me just now, he shouldn't be afraid of a few storm guards. I looked at it strangely, are these storm guards really that powerful?If I'm even scared of it, I might not be able to deal with it.However, judging from Xiaohu's scan results, the storm guard's energy fluctuations are not too strong, at most level six. It shouldn't be too difficult to deal with some sixth-level alien life fighters, with the indestructible "Black Mountain Sword" in my hand and my quick and ingenious agility. I glanced at the little dryad again, and Balfour was trying to root his tree roots into the soil under his feet with an anxious expression, and kept branching out more roots from his body towards the soil.In the blink of an eye, dozens of tree roots plunged into the soil, forming a not-so-small root network.

Soon, its tree roots pulsated like blood vessels, continuously feeding the energy absorbed from the ground into the body. The land under my feet is gradually becoming green, and this green is constantly expanding outward, but the speed of expansion is really hard to say how fast.When the storm guards were only tens of meters away from us, the green under our feet only expanded by 60 square meters. "The life energy here is really too little." The little dryad Balfour muttered, and quickly stroked his hands in the air. In the blink of an eye, the green energy formed a crooked rune on its chest. The tree roots inserted into the ground by the dryad suddenly broke through the ground, bringing up stones and soil flying all over the sky.Amidst the astonishing momentum, countless branches like big and small snakes twisted flexibly, and in an instant, they condensed into a big mouth full of sharp teeth.

"I want you to know that Master Balfour is the most evil and cruel." The bright green under the feet was almost completely taken out by this big mouth in an instant, and the green and ferocious big mouth suddenly stretched out towards the storm guards.Due to the close proximity, one of the storm guards didn't dodge and was swallowed directly. The swallowed Storm Guard struggled desperately, but chewed like no one else in his big mouth, as if the sound of a sharp sword scraping across a piece of metal kept coming out of his big mouth. The Storm Guard was also extremely powerful, and he didn't even die under the sharp steel teeth of that mouth.After the initial panic, the storm guards around surrounded him instantly, surrounded Dakou and hacked wildly.

Although Dakou looked ferocious and fierce, it couldn't stand the attacks of so many storm guards. After holding on for three seconds, Dakou suddenly fell apart, and countless broken branches flew around, revealing the storm guard that had just been swallowed in the mouth.The storm guard also looked miserable, at least one-third of his body was eaten away, and his whole body was dyed a rich green. I said: "The momentum is great, but it seems that the power is not as great as imagined." As soon as the words fell, the storm guard whose whole body was dyed green suddenly collapsed, like a castle built of sand. What was left was a thumb-sized thing that shone brightly like a diamond.

Next to my ear, the little Dryad Balfour gasped in relief: "Master, I will leave the rest to you." "Huh?" I said in surprise.This guy looked very mighty just now, but he shrank his head in a blink of an eye. "Master, don't worry, you are not fighting alone." The little dryad Balfour pointed at me with a slender finger like a dead branch, and a green light flashed, "Evil tree armor." I suddenly felt a burst of energy fluctuations under my feet, and the next moment, the remaining green turned into many rhizomes, which quickly climbed up from my feet, forming a pair of light armor made of branches and vines in the blink of an eye.There are also some green leaves growing on the vines, and it looks like the whole armor is full of vitality.

In an instant, the Stormguards rushed in front of me. Of the twenty storm guards, except for the one that was killed by the tree elf just now, there are still nineteen left. A stormguard's broadsword slashed at me like a gust of wind.I paused, and started the Fish Swimming Technique. Before the knife fell, I had already swung out and came to another Storm Guard who was three people away. With a flash of sword light, the "Sword of Black Mountain" had passed through the body of the storm guard. The "Sword of Black Mountain" pierced into its body in an instant as if there was nothing there.In fact, it is indeed nothing. The Storm Guard is just a life formed by the wisdom of the birth of a storm. Its body is composed of air currents. The "Sword of Black Mountain" pierced into the body of the storm guard, as if piercing into the air.

I realized it was not good, and just as I was about to draw my sword back, the airflow in the storm guard's body suddenly produced a huge suction force, which tightly sucked the "Sword of Black Mountain". I exerted all my strength, successfully pulled out the sword, and withdrew backwards. With my toes touching, my body quickly retreated like an arrow leaving the string.But the speed of these storm guards born from the wisdom of the storm is extremely fast. While I was retreating, other storm guards had already swept over from other directions. Several big knives slashed at me from different directions, and the wind of the knives was bitter.Amidst the howling sound, the airflow in the surrounding space was affected by the storm guard and formed a suction force, which slowed down my speed.I was only a little stagnant, and a big knife slashed on my back.

With this fierce force behind me, I rushed forward, staggered the knives and axes coming from other directions, and broke away from the encirclement of several storm guards. The weapons in the hands of the storm guards are also made of wind energy to control the air flow, which is light and sharp.But what surprised me was that all the damage I expected to bear was absorbed by the tree armor on my body. Although I wasn't injured, the color of the tree armor has faded a bit. If I can't withstand a few cuts, this tree armor will run out of green energy. The little dryad Balfour said: "Master, you must attack their vital points to injure them severely." In a hurry, I found that the little dryad Balfour was avoiding the pursuit of two storm guards. This guy seemed to be in a hurry, like a boat in a storm, but he could always save the day at the most critical moment. I no longer worry about this slippery guy, knowing that even if it loses to two Storm Guards, self-protection is always not a problem. "The key point, where is the key point of the Storm Guard?" I kept thinking in my mind, "Little Tiger, scan the Storm Guard in all directions to find out its possible vital points." A model of the Stormkeeper immediately came to mind, a blue light scanning from head to toe. Knowing that ordinary attacks are futile for Storm Guards, I also gave up active attacks, just kept changing directions, and carefully guarded against being surrounded by Storm Guards. Although the "Sword of Black Mountain" is sharp, it can only A weapon that can be used to deflect the Stormguard. Fortunately, although the speed of these storm guards flying in a straight line is astonishing, in comparison, their flexibility is much worse. A minute later, Xiaohu finally had the result. On the model of the Stormkeeper in my mind, a red glow appeared.The thing that Xiaohu marked with red light is the vital organ of the storm guard, similar to the human heart, once it is attacked, it will cause great damage.At the same time, this organ also functions as an energy core, which can improve the storm guard's ability to control wind energy. Now that I found the vital point of the Storm Guards, I acted immediately. My feet slipped, like a fish jumping on the water, passing by the sharp blades coming from both sides, and the "Sword of Black Mountain" hit the vital point of one of the Storm Guards . The "Sword of Black Mountain" spat out a sharp sword light, but the crystal-clear vital organs in the storm guard's body seemed to sense the danger, and before being stabbed by the sword light, they automatically moved in the storm guard's body to avoid it. The sword light spit out by the "Sword of Black Mountain". "What's going on here?" I was taken aback by the sure blow that fell into the air. "Balfour, why do their vitals seem to have life and know how to avoid attacks?" I yelled at the evil little tree spirit while dodging the quick attacks of the storm guards. The little dryad Balfour screamed: "Master, I don't know why, if you can't beat us, let's admit defeat." I was actually despised by the little tree spirit, but can my vital organs be able to move?As long as the attack speed is fast enough and the range attack is used when attacking, I don't believe that the vital organs of the Storm Guard can be avoided. It's not a good feeling to be chased and beaten by a dozen storm guards. These guys are made up of air currents all over their bodies. They don't care about ordinary attacks at all. Therefore, when fighting, they are almost all attack-oriented, which makes people very uncomfortable.It's like a normal person fighting with a lunatic. The lunatic doesn't care how many times he gets punched, and he doesn't feel pain. He just jumps up and bites you again and again until you fall down. The evil tree armor on my body was hit several times in a row, and the light became increasingly dim. After two or three hits, the energy in the evil tree armor would be exhausted.I need to take out a few more Stormguards before the tree armor completely fails. After a circle, an aggressive storm guard gradually broke away from the main force and formed a one-on-one situation with me.I suddenly stopped evading, and dodged to bully me, a icy light flashed on the "Sword of Black Mountain". The sword light hit the vital organs of the storm guard like lightning.The vital organs sensed danger, just like a slippery loach was about to move to another position, the "Sword of Black Mountain" suddenly exhaled a cold air, covering the vital organs. The movement speed of the storm guard's vital organs suddenly stagnated, and I was overjoyed. Sure enough, the ice-type dark energy released by the ice-type dark energy core is effective. Because of being suppressed by the space of the sword tower, my overall strength is greatly restricted, and several power cores are also greatly restricted. I can only use weapons to exert less than one-tenth of the auxiliary power, and cannot attack directly, so Urging the ice-type dark energy core to add ice-type dark energy to the "Sword of Black Mountain" is also a helpless move. The "Sword of Black Mountain" waved along with the trend, cutting directly on that vital organ. Several cracks suddenly appeared on the crystal-like organ.The storm guard let out a "ho ho" roar, with a distorted and hideous facial expression. I subconsciously sensed the danger, and immediately retreated sharply. At the same time, I stretched out the "Sword of Black Mountain", and the light of the sword was like a screen in front of me. After 0.3 seconds, the Storm Guard made a loud noise, and his three-meter-high body exploded instantly. Countless blade-like air currents turned into tumbling wind blades and shot out in all directions. There are hundreds of wind blades shooting at me, I am glad that I have made a judgment in advance, so that I will not be in a hurry.After all, my current strength is greatly suppressed by the space of the sword tower. If I really stand next to that storm guard, I really don't have the confidence to be able to withstand it. Just when I was about to take advantage of the short-term confusion to choose the next attack target, the wind-type dark energy core in my body suddenly turned restlessly. Every time the dark energy core of the wind system rotates independently, it means that the energy law of the wind system has been sensed. I suppressed the joy in my heart and let go of the control of the dark energy core of the wind system. Following the instructions of the dark energy core of the wind system, my spiritual consciousness found a tiny ray of light floating slowly in the air like catkins. This is exactly the law of wind energy contained in the storm guard. As soon as I urged the dark energy core of the wind system, the light was like iron powder being attracted by a magnet, and it was sucked into my body without any resistance at all. This bit of wind energy law was devoured and transformed by my wind dark energy core in an instant, supplementing itself.At the same time, I also sensed through the core of the dark energy of the wind system that the energy law of the wind system is incomplete.But if you think about it, you can understand that it is difficult for a storm guard with only six-level power to master the complete wind energy law. This energy law can only be regarded as an appetizer before the meal, but it doesn't matter, there are more than a dozen storm guards waiting for me. With experience, I threw myself into the counterattack without hesitation.After all, I can't get any energy supplement from the sword tower space on this floor, and one more minute of use is one more point of consumption. A dozen or so level 6 storm guards are still powerful enemies that cannot be underestimated for me.When there were ten Stormguards left, the evil tree armor on my body had completely exhausted its energy and became a withered armor of little use. I was urging the dark energy core of the wind system, moving non-stop like the wind, and the sword light was as fast as lightning, looking for the right time to give the storm guard a fatal blow. Ten minutes later, all the Storm Guards were beheaded by me under the "Sword of Black Mountain".I stood with my eyes closed, and the wind dark energy core absorbed all the wind energy laws of the storm guards. It seemed that a revolution was underway. The miniature whirlwind-shaped wind dark energy core kept expanding and contracting. Restore. It seems that there is no difference from before, but when my consciousness penetrated into the core of the dark energy of the wind system, a stream of information flowed into my mind instantly, I was slightly taken aback, and joy showed on my face involuntarily. I opened my eyes, and the evil little tree spirit was standing in front of me, looking at me suspiciously.Seeing me open my eyes, the little tree spirit waved its slender arm, laughed and said, "Master, don't worry, the most evil tree spirit, Balfour, is here, and these storm guards won't hurt you at all." .” "Really?" I grinned, stretched my hands forward, and shouted, "Come out, Storm Guard." A whirlwind was created in front of me out of thin air, spinning rapidly, the whirlwind changed from small to large, and in just a few seconds, it became a storm guard. The little Dryad Balfour jumped up behind me like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and screamed nervously: "Master, kill it, kill it, another Storm Guard comes out." That's right, after absorbing the wind energy laws of nineteen storm guards, the core of the dark energy of the wind system also has the ability to create storm guards, but... I frowned at the Stormguard I had spawned.This storm guard is only as tall as an ordinary earthling, and its strength is only three levels. Obviously, it is far from the real storm guard, and it is almost useless. The intelligence of this storm guard is also very low, so its use of power will probably only stay at the initial stage of instinct. I'm a little disappointed that I didn't create a storm guard as powerful as I imagined, but it's finally rewarding. Being a human being should know how to be satisfied, isn't it? Thinking of the storm guards I beheaded, their use of power is relatively simple.Presumably these storm guards were not born naturally, but were created by the sword tower space. The little dryad Balfour looked at the little storm guard who was standing still, and recalled it. He came out from behind me, walked around the little storm guard a few times, and put his hand back and forth into the little storm guard. Go into the guard's body and have a great time. After a while, the little dryad Balfour took out a jackhammer as if offering a treasure. This was the only jackhammer left over from the storm guard who was swallowed by the green maw. "Congratulations on your victory, you can keep your spoils. Please be prepared, you will be transported to the fifth floor of the sword tower." The mechanical male voice sounded again. Soon, a huge pressure came down, and even my consciousness seemed to stop under this huge force.I already had experience and knew that this was the power of the sword tower's space. I took my own power back into my body and did not resist the power of the sword tower's space. In a flash, I have been sent to the fifth floor of the sword tower.There was a vast expanse of white ocean under my feet, and I fell into the water with a "plop" from mid-air. The tree spirit Balfour is a tree, and his head popped out of the water easily, with most of his body exposed. It seems that he is not weak in water. There is no wind or waves on the calm water, but I know very well that there are guards on every floor, and enemies may appear at any time.I immediately gave Xiaohu the order to scan, especially within a radius of 100 meters, I will never let go of any life that appears. I knew in my heart that it would be very difficult for me to break through this level of sword tower space.Although I have some water instincts, fighting and swimming in the water are by no means the same thing. This piece of water is very vast, obviously much larger than the previous layers of space.Even if it is not a real sea, it is a very wide lake. This piece of water is so vast, I have to be more careful, who knows what kind of powerful creatures will be in the water? As Xiaohu's scanning waves continued to expand outward, a three-dimensional waterscape gradually expanded in my mind.There are red dots appearing in the waterscape, but they turn green soon, which are fishes that are not threatening to me. The dense green light spots show that the waters here are rich in fish resources. Suddenly, a large red spot broke into the waterscape.I was refreshed, and the guard on this floor appeared. One after another, large red light spots appeared one after another.I fixate on the red dot of light, and a three-dimensional view of a shark pops up.The sharks here are larger than the ones on the earth, with more vigorous vitality and stronger attack power.However, the sword tower space should not arrange these sharks that are still in the ordinary animal stage as the guardians of this layer. On the backs of these sharks, there are also some red light spots. They are much smaller than sharks, but they are much more dangerous. With Xiaohu's in-depth scan, these little red dots also revealed their true colors. They were a group of fish-headed humanoids covered in greasy green toad-like skin, with scales covering their backs and limbs.They are only 1.23 meters tall, holding all kinds of simple weapons, driving the sharks to rush towards me at a speed of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour. These half-human, half-fish creatures waved their weapons and shouted ferociously, revealing a mouth full of yellowed teeth.
