The robber's words were true, and the lake extended her arms deep into the jungle. The group walked along the clear stream, letting pine branches slap their faces, crossing the roadless place, pushing aside the berry bushes and trampling the thick grass.
Gradually the terrain becomes rugged and it is difficult for sunlight to penetrate into the forest. They understood that they were entering the depths of the forest of horses. Grass and various plants were knee-high, as if they were trying to entangle their feet and impede their progress.
"Don't get lost." Lear separated the plants in front of him and strode through the area with the densest plants
As far as the eye can see, there is a small hill, and the stream is still running through the plants. Various shrubs grow beside the stream, almost covering it up and blocking it, but the lake is still full of vitality, and the stream is powerful and abundant, flowing up the steep slope. Water generally flows downwards, but you can't stop a brave stream from flowing.
The guards wore leather gloves and climbed up the hillside on their hands and knees. Lear's movements were very nimble and fast. He jumped to the top of the slope in three times. His feet stepped on the rocks. After kicking off, he was far ahead of his other companions. Often imitating animals, Lear has enough experience in dealing with various terrains, and neither steep cliffs nor dense forests can stop him.
Standing at the top of the hillside, Leer looked into the distance, his shadow stretched long. Others climbed up one after another and stood on the top of the slope, listening to the chirping of birds and the flow of the stream, while looking forward to finding the bandit's camp.
The stream flows downhill again. Going downhill is no easier than going uphill. There is a danger of falling into the water at any time. However, when the stream reached the bottom of the hillside, it flowed into a gap in the rocks. This must have been what the robbers called the "deep ditch." Leer jumped down the hillside and rolled to slow down the impact. Regardless of the grass blades on his clothes and the dull pain in his feet, he walked carelessly to the crack in the stone, lay down and put his head on the ground. Close your eyes. Listen to the movement of the water¡
"The underground water should lead directly to the robbers' lair. It's almost there." Lear raised his head.
Bert led the horse and walked carefully. He looked around and quickly found "three trees."
"The robbers didn't lie to us, it's right there." Bert pointed to the white clearing in the distance, with three tall trees standing on it. Evenly distributed like the three vertices of a triangle. There is a neat ring of mushrooms next to the tree. The colorful mushrooms are neatly arranged around the tree, forming a ring. It has to be said to be a miracle of nature.
And inside the trees, there are also large clusters of flowers growing, with butterflies and bees flying up and down among the flowers. This is simply a little wonderland. Beautiful, quiet and vibrant, full of spring flavor.
"Such beautiful scenery will never appear in the Atak Empire." Jessdown complained, "Sooner or later, we will take over the Star-Moon Plains from the Megts people, and then build our own city there and plant such beautiful scenery. .¡±
¡°It¡¯s always a good thing to have a goal.¡± Bert got on his horse and ran towards the beautiful scenery ahead.
Compared with the Atak Empire, Shular is much more beautiful. The words that best describe the Atak Empire are desolate and cold. The eastern wasteland is vast and full of barbaric goods. The west is more fertile. But it's nothing compared to the vast grasslands of the Megz Empire. The Mergtz Empire is known as the Granary of Windekenf, and it is not without reason. The Atak Empire is always thinking about poaching the most important piece of flesh from the Megtz Empire that is very close to them, the Star-Moon Plain.
"The mental power seems to be blocked." Jestang frowned. Shout out to Burt, "Stop! Something's wrong."
"I heard the scream of the tree spirit, Bert!" Lear's expression changed even more.
Two groups of green light suddenly shot out from the flowers among the three trees. The branches of a certain tree were submerged in the green light and pieced together to form a human-shaped skeleton. The two most dazzling green lights jumping up and down became their eyes. The unknown creature flew high into the air, leaving a long green trail, then swooped down and knocked Burt off his horse.
The frightened horse neighed, and then several shocking jagged lacerations suddenly appeared on its body. It fell to its knees, with white bones poking out from the injured areas. It was obvious that it could not survive.
Dryads swear to protect a jungle or a piece of grassland they love to the death. If any daredevils break into the place they have sworn to, they will be attacked by them. They are loyal believers of the nature goddess Munamur and will sacrifice their lives to defend the goddess's territory. It looks like a peaceful forest, but there are probably many tree spirits dormant in it, but the scope of human activities has not reached the bottom line of their intolerance. Dryads have no fixed form and are extremely powerful.
Their weapons are branches and natural magic. Sharp wooden blades can tear through most armors and guns, while mysterious plantsThe element is also evenly applied to its already deadly weapon. It can summon vines just like the druid, making the tree spirit an extremely dangerous creature. They are small, but have terrifying strength that is disproportionate to their size.
be cheated!
The two tree spirits are a fighting force that cannot be ignored. Ordinary people are simply no match for them. The strong man also had this idea in mind and lured them into this dangerous area. The guards surrounded the tree spirits, but they jumped out of their encirclement easily and tore an iron shield to pieces. This shows that the tree spirits are very powerful and agile.
"Quickly kill the other one!" Lear had been waiting beside him. When the tree spirit jumped out of the ranks of the guards, he also jumped out quickly. The tree spirit, whose back was turned to him, had no time to escape before he was held tightly in Lier's hand.
Green chain-like light spread out from Lier's hand, binding the tree spirit. The druid himself was sweating profusely. This binding spell was quite physically demanding for him, but it was still effective.
Seeing Li'er restraining one tree spirit, the others immediately turned their attention to the other tree spirit that was still free. When it saw its companion being restrained, it became even angrier and rushed directly towards Lear. Its right arm suddenly stretched out, like a wooden spear, stabbing straight at the back of Leer's neck. How could the guards watch their comrades die?
A particularly strong guard rushed forward and hit the tree spirit with his head. The thin tree spirit was immediately knocked to the ground. It struck back hard with a spear, but the guard immediately protected himself with a shield, followed by a stab with a long sword.
The injured tree spirit let out a sharp whistle, and a purple vine shot out from the ground. It quickly entangled the guard closest to the tree spirit and tightened it. Jestang unleashed a ball of dark flames, which burned the purple vines, but it still entangled the guards. The others hurriedly cut the vine into sections and then rescued the guard.
Just when they were in chaos, the tree spirit flew into the air, aimed at a lone guard, and released a green light arrow. He had to raise his shield in a hurry, and the green magic arrow pierced both him and the shield!
Seeing the tragic death of their companion, the guard was shocked and angry. Bert quickly rushed into the three trees. The tree spirit, who was about to kill another guard, turned his head in surprise. It rushed towards Bert. These trees were the objects it wanted to protect, and it would never allow it. Any errors.
Taking this opportunity, the guards quietly formed a circle and surrounded the tree spirit again.
Bert roared and threw the bloody giant sword hard. The sharp blade passed over the tree spirit's body and cut it off. The giant sword sank deeply into the ground behind it, with only the hilt exposed.
Only the upper body of the tree spirit was left, and the lower body turned into brown sawdust as soon as it separated from its body.
The severely injured tree spirit fell to the ground and struggled. Now you can see that its wooden body is covered with a particularly dazzling green light. In the green light is a very small plant rhizome. A guard holding a long hammer roared forward, intending to completely smash the remaining half of the dryad's body. One of the two green rays of light used as eyes by the tree spirit suddenly flew up and disappeared directly into the guard's body, as if he was not wearing armor at all.
"Ah" the guard screamed, his body ignited with green flames, and within a moment, his whole body was reduced to ashes.
At this time, the tree spirit only had one "eye" left, making it even more ferocious and dangerous.
Bert walked around and pulled out the bloody giant sword. Under the pressure of the tree spirit to fight to the death, the guards did not dare to move forward. Only Burt slowly approached the tree spirit, and then raised the bloody giant sword. The red light flashed on the giant sword, as sharp as blood and as sharp as a blade. When he slashed hard, the crimson blade blood surged out unstoppably, crushing the remaining body of the tree spirit into pieces.
"Okay!" Jestang smiled excitedly in his heart.
The situation on Li'er on the other side is not good, and the tree spirit has broken free from his binding spell. Maintaining it requires magic power, and when the magic power in Lear's body is completely exhausted, the tree spirit successfully escapes.
It saw that another dryad had been beaten to pieces by blood, and its two green "eyes" burned even more angrily. The dryad quickly flew around the guards, and during the flight , the light on its body became dimmer and dimmer, and when the circle was completed, its body gradually became transparent, as if it would break at any time.
"Escape from this circle!" Lear roared desperately, "It's going to explode!"
Hearing Leer¡¯s roar, everyone ran away. It can be seen that green lights and shadows have appeared on the ground, and each one has an extremely high temperature, burning the surrounding grass. In addition to green light and shadow, there is also a dark green light belt surrounding them. As long as they escape from the light belt, it means survival!The tree spirit, which had almost become a shadow, shook violently. There was a crisp cracking sound, and the tree spirit shattered like glass falling to the ground. The green lights and shadows on the ground exploded one after another, emitting extremely high-temperature explosion waves and shock waves in all directions, and the grass quickly turned into scorched earth
