Changing Life And Career? I Planted The World Tree At The Beginning

Chapter 165 Instantly Kill The Demon Boss!

When the situation was unclear, Chen Yu had been trying to avoid fighting as much as possible, in order to avoid excessive consumption and prevent accidents.

Now it is basically certain that there will be rescue coming, so there is no need to worry about consumption anymore.

After bidding farewell to two holy priests, Chen Yu left the forest with the little Saintess.

The little Saintess did not ask Chen Yu to bring them along.

The two holy priests even strongly refused even the simplest assistance, just to save a bit more strength for Chen Yu and the little Saintess.

"Can you understand the map?"

"How far are we from the Abyss Pillar?"

Chen Yu handed the map to the little Saintess.

"Mhmm."

The little Saintess nodded repeatedly.

"Based on our speed, we can reach this location in less than half a day."

"What is the strength of Knight Commander Dalia? What is the strength of the Temple Knights? Can they ensure your safety?"

Chen Yu asked again.

This kind of thing must be confirmed with the little Saintess.

If the Temple Knights were a weak legion, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

"Knight Commander Dalia is one of the eight Great Saint Domain powerhouses of the Holy See," the little Saintess replied. "The weakest in the Temple Knights is also a high-ranking knight."

"Great Saint Domain powerhouses represent Rank Seven," the little Saintess said. "It also represents the pinnacle of power."

"High-ranking represents Rank Five and Rank Six."

"In the Holy See, there is no army stronger than the Temple Knights."

Rank Seven, in terms of Blue Star's terminology, is a transcendent powerhouse at the seventh level.

A team led by a Rank Seven powerhouse would be composed of elite monsters at least at the Rank Five and Rank Six levels. The level of protection would undoubtedly be stronger than Chen Yu alone, without a doubt.

"Also," Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the forest, asking in a deep voice, "Is it possible that those two people are deceiving us, and even they themselves have been deceived?"

"In fact, there is no Temple Knights at all, and once we ignite the signal, we will be walking into a trap?"

"No," the little Saintess replied.

"The map and signal flare are exclusive to the Temple Knights and are only distributed during missions."

"So, it can be basically confirmed that the Temple Knights do exist, and they will come when they see the signal flare, right?" Chen Yu asked.

"That's right," the little Saintess said. "Unless there are traitors within the Temple Knights."

"Is that possible?" Chen Yu frowned. "For example, political struggles within the Holy See, where someone wants you dead."

Going to the area marked in red on the map and releasing the signal flare is like going all-in.

If they were deceived and the Temple Knights didn't exist at all, then even Chen Yu wouldn't be able to break through with the little Saintess from a large number of demons.

"The probability is very low," the little Saintess said. "The Temple Knights are an armed organization that is almost independent of the Holy See."

"Knight Commander Dalia himself is a Great Saint Domain powerhouse."

"As one of the strongest in the world, he is almost unaffected by political struggles."

"Also... within the Holy See, I am more important than the Great Saint Domain powerhouses, and no one would want me dead."

"Unless all eight Great Saint Domain powerhouses want to commit suicide!"

"Are you that important?" Chen Yu glanced at the little Saintess with a faint mockery.

"That's right!" The little Saintess nodded solemnly.

"Then how were you captured by a few low-level fallen ones?" Chen Yu asked with a hint of sarcasm.

"I'm sorry..." The little Saintess lowered her head and said anxiously, "I can tell you everything I know..."

"It's like this, within the Holy See..."

"Hush!" Chen Yu raised a finger to the little Saintess's lips. "Don't speak."

After a moment.

"Hahaha! I found you here, Holy See Saintess! I've finally found you!"

An excited laughter rang out.

Not far away, dust was flying.

A towering, muscular red-skinned demon over three meters tall rushed towards Chen Yu and the little Saintess.

Heavy footsteps tread on the land covered in weeds, emitting a dull "thud thud" sound.

"You are mine!"

This is also a Rank Four demon boss.

However, it doesn't have wings.

Judging from its appearance, it belongs to the melee specialization class of monsters.

Chen Yu waved his hand, and two Abyss spirits appeared in the demon boss's path.

"The toad wants to eat swan meat, it's ugly, but it has beautiful thoughts!"

A large field of lilies instantly bloomed.

The demon boss's attributes were instantly reduced, and it fell into a state of dizziness and sluggishness.

The Abyss Thorn spirits directly activated their demonization, their bodies becoming even larger than the demon boss.

Their fingertips and tail split open, shooting out dozens of brown serrated vines.

"Die!"

Chen Yu lightly shouted, intensifying the output of Abyss magic power.

The Abyss Thorn spirits' Spirit Body type grew again, and their attributes skyrocketed.

In just a few seconds, they shattered this muscular demon boss into pieces.

"Let's go!"

Chen Yu didn't even absorb the Abyss magic power that the boss dropped, hastily preparing to leave.

"Wait—"

The little Saintess took out a white thin slice from her nun's attire and threw it into the air.

The white slice immediately sped off into the distance.

"Alright, let's go!"

"Okay!"

Chen Yu carried the little Saintess and dashed towards the location marked on the map with a red circle.

Less than a minute later, several Abyss demons of various forms arrived at the spot where the muscular demon had died.

"It just died not long ago."

"The Holy See's Saintess must be nearby!"

"I smell the scent of holy power, let's chase!"

The three demon bosses turned into afterimages and shot out.

Unfortunately, they were not heading in the same direction as Chen Yu.

...

On the way to the Abyss Pillar, the frequency of demon appearances noticeably increased.

On average, they encountered a demon every half an hour.

Sometimes it was just one, sometimes they came in groups.

Thanks to these demon bosses, Chen Yu's control over the Heart of Battle technique became increasingly proficient.

After each encounter with a demon, the little Saintess would release a white slice to mislead the pursuing demons.

In the continuous running and fighting, the sky gradually darkened.

After encountering more than ten waves of demons in total, a huge black and red pillar appeared in Chen Yu's field of vision.

Chen Yu didn't stop, but continued forward for more than ten minutes towards the pillar until its outline became clear before finally stopping.

"One last question." Chen Yu looked at the pillar, picked up a signal flare, and asked the little Saintess, "The Temple Knights are active in this area, right?"

"Why do we have to release a signal instead of directly finding the knights? Your perception ability is strong, can't you sense their holy power?"

"I can't find them." The little Saintess shook her head. "The Temple Knights have a large patrol range and move very quickly."

"If we actively search for them—"

"Even with my perception range, unless we have extremely good luck, it's impossible to stumble upon them."

"Those demons will eventually lock onto our location, aimlessly wandering around will be very dangerous."

"In that case, then..." Chen Yu took a deep breath and raised the signal flare.

"Wait!"

The little Saintess suddenly pulled Chen Yu's hand, her expression somewhat hesitant.
