Dragon of the Root

Chapter 44: Human trail

In the endless meadows, emerald green creatures resembling bears and deer were running.

Taking a closer look, there were two people behind this creature, a man and a woman.

The man had black hair and black eyes, and he was dressed in a Sumerian style, he looked very exotic.

The woman had black hair and golden eyes, two slanted horns on her head, a white dress, and a pair of black wings behind her waist and belly. Even though the woman was extremely beautiful, she was definitely not human.

"What a strange Demon Beast, Master Wu Ming." Albedo praised, sitting on Humbaba back.

"Really, there is no Demon Beast like this in YGGDRASIL." Wu Ming lay on Humbaba back, basking in the sun.

"Un, although there are similar Demon Beasts, I have never heard of equipment turning into Demon Beasts."

That's right, Humbaba was Humbaba Divine Beast that Wu Ming had taken when he left Uruk and had fused with the Yggdrasil World Tree Spear.

Due to the relatively large area of the prairie, Demiurge chose a mount for Wu Ming to ride.

After Wu Ming refused, he removed Yggdrasil from Dragonest and made him appear as Humbaba.

In the admiring gazes of the Guardians, Wu Ming grabbed the hand of Albedo who had an expression of no regrets in this life, and sat on Humbaba back.

After that, when the Guardians didn't react, Wu Ming used the ring to teleport to the first floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, directly avoiding the Guardians.

In a turbulent leap, Wu Ming managed to escape from Nazarick with Albedo.

"Now think about it, let them complain for a while after returning."

Wu Ming slapped Humbaba back and said directly.

"Humbaba, judge the direction in which one lives, and move in that direction."

*Woo--!*

Humbaba accelerated his running speed.

Due to Humbaba special ability, coupled with Yggdrasil ability, Humbaba can control wood attributes, including detection, etc. Therefore, Wu Ming would search for the people around Nazarick left to Humbaba.

"By the way, you will call me Vero in front of outsiders from now on."

"Yes, Master Wu Ming."

"Albedo is lying down too, Humbaba has a comfortable back."

Hearing this, Albedo eyes lit up, and her expression began to become frightening.

"Yes! Master Wu Ming!"

"Hey hey hey! What are you doing! Lie there and don't be afraid of me."

"Impossible, Master Wu Ming, in order to prevent the enemy attack, I must protect him personally."

"I thought you were just taking advantage of me! Go!"

"Ahhh~Master Wu Ming~Master Wu Ming~"

"What is going on!"

The increasingly human Humbaba helplessly shook his head and increased his speed again.

Soon, Humbaba stopped in a not dense forest.

Wu Ming on his back was panting tiredly.

"Albedo, stop first, there is a situation ahead."

Albedo was also blushing and was gasping for air.

"Yes, Master Wu Ming."

Wu Ming fell off Humbaba back, thinking about walking forward.

(What's with Albedo personality!? Was the player who designed her a pervert?!)

After dispelling the messy thoughts in his heart, Wu Ming looked ahead.

Wu Ming glanced carefully and saw the houses lined up on the flat land, not many, only a number of villages. Although the houses were simple, they were full of life.

However, now the ground and walls of the village were filled with a crimson liquid, which was disgusting.

"That, blood?"

A knight wearing standard full-body armor wielding a sword slashed and killed the unarmed villagers one after another.

At this time, a pair of sisters happened to run away from the village, the direction was the forest.

However, behind them, two soldiers followed.

It just so happened that the younger sister among the sisters fell because she was too young.

"Fast! Nemu, wake up quickly. We have to escape here immediately."

Since she often did farm work, her older sister physical fitness was obviously much better than her younger sister, so she pulled her off the ground with one attempt.

"Well, I see, big sister."

Nemu held back tears and said.

"Un, let's run."

Just as the older sister was about to pull her to run again, an angry voice rang out.

"Run! Where else do you want to run to!" A knight who slaughtered the villagers stood behind the sisters.

"I was delayed by the two of you, I'm really angry!"

The knight roared and slashed at the sisters with his sword.

"Nemu!" The older sister hugged her little sister quickly, and at the same time, she closed her eyes.

*Qiang--!*

The expected pain didn't come, instead a metal clashing sound was heard.

"How could it be!" The knight let out a panicked voice.

The girl looked back boldly, a black-haired and black-eyed teenager wearing a strange costume was standing in front of the knight, and the sword that the knight slashed was firmly gripped by the teenager.

Seeing this scene, the girl's eyes widened.

"I think it was a special incident. As a result, is this a high-level conspiracy plan."

Wu Ming spoke boredly.

With the years of political turmoil that Wu Ming had been through, he had almost guessed why the knights massacred the villagers for no reason.

"Just try the magic I've learned these past few days."

Wu Ming gently cast a spell.

"<Thunder Dragon>"

A large amount of thunder and blue lightning emerged from Wu Ming body and passed through the sword he held in his hand to the knight.

"Ahhhh!

(It seems that the value of this world power is not very high.) Wu Ming thought.

"Mo Monsters!" Another knight in pursuit saw his companion die instantly, and howled in fright, turned and fled.

Wu Ming waved his hand, and the knight who didn't have time to escape was instantly enveloped by thick vines growing from the ground.

Blood flowed from the cracks of the vines.

"Really, can a knight like you be called a knight? You guys really took away the face of a knight," said Wu Ming in a disdainful tone.

*Woo-!*

Humbaba slowly walked over from behind Wu Ming.

"So beautiful..." The two sisters who had never seen such a holy Humbaba exclaimed.

Wu Ming couldn't help but laugh, after all, Humbaba was praised as a Divine beast.

"Are you two okay?" Wu Ming asked loudly.

"No...it's okay, thank you sir."

"Thank you sir"

Big sister, the girl hastily thanked Wu Ming. The younger sister next to him also followed suit.

"Please save our villagers!" After the girl thanked him, she suddenly remembered the villagers who were still suffering, and pleaded sadly to Wu Ming.

"Help! help." The girl's little sister continued her slightly awkward but sweet manner.

Wu Ming looked at the two sisters and said solemnly.

"I see, you two come with me."

"Thank you sir."

Just as Wu Ming was about to leave with his two sisters, Albedo, who had changed her equipment, suddenly spoke.

"Please wait, Mister Vero.
