"The plant monster has a lot of vitality, but I don't know if it is really dead? Is it pretending to die?" "Viscount Alvin, you have consumed too much, and it is not appropriate to take action anymore, so let me check it out." Ivan consumes too much and doesn't want to waste any more magic power, but Sika has no problem. Although he has been defending against the vine whip attack of the ogre tree and the magic power consumed is no less than Ivan, he has other methods. With a trace of mental power, Sika controlled a dozen suitable insects and ants that he had finally found in the forest, and let them approach the charred black vines scattered on the ground of the ogre tree, gnawed through the charred skin and got in. As soon as he met, he confirmed the news that there was no life in the cane through the remote-controlled insect, and finally showed an excited look on his face. "Viscount Alvin, this monster is indeed dead. I didn't expect such a simple method to solve it." This method is still simple. Alvin was a little stunned when he heard it, but when he thought about it, although the tactics he used took a little longer. , but it is indeed quite simple. It can be summed up in two words: 'kill by force'. We are stronger than you, so we can kill you even if we withstand your attack. This is not necessarily the most efficient method, but it is certainly the simplest method. Based on flame and space spells, Aiwen has entered the realm of the fourth-level archmage. He is naturally proficient in flame spells and space spells. Both fire spells and space spells are famous for their high lethality. Although Ivan does not master many high-level fire spells, and none of them are lethal, but he has high-level lethal space spells. I have learned several things from Ollie. As long as he is willing to use high-level space spells to fight, it will take less than three breaths. He was then able to quickly destroy the ogre tree. However, in this way, Aiwen will consume far more magic power than now, and the high-level spell structures pre-built in the mental space will also be consumed a lot, which is quite detrimental to his own safety protection. Now he can only use The price is two scrolls and one-third of the magic power. Even if it takes a little more time to kill this ogre tree, it is worth it. In addition, there is another point that is the key to Ivan's unwillingness to use high-level space spells. Space spells can cut everything. After using such spells. The internal structure of the body of the ogre tree in front of him will be completely destroyed. In this case, it will be great, but Ivan may lose the chance to find out the secret of the soul scream it uses from its body. What the third-level mage Sika can think of, as a fourth-level archmage, how could Ivan not think of it! He was stunned for a moment. Ivan reacted quickly and nodded: "Then let's go over and take a look!" After saying that, Ivan took steps and walked towards the ogre tree. Sika¡¯s expression changed, as if she realized something, and she immediately followed him in annoyance. "Actually, the strength of this ogre tree is quite good. Although the body cannot move, its attack power is comparable to that of a third-level professional, and its defense power is far beyond that. It also knows how to avoid the strong and attack the weak, so as to divert trouble to the east. If it weren't for bad luck, we relied on the mage brand to come and besiege them. With its strength, it would not be a problem to destroy an ordinary exploration team," Ivan commented with emotion as he walked. If possible, Ivan really wants to transplant some ogre trees to his territory, so that the large number of mountainous areas in the territory that are difficult to patrol will become impregnable. pity. Judging from the current situation, these ogre trees prey on them regardless of race. I wonder if Sika can make some changes to them after obtaining the research materials. "A third-level professional Even if he can't defeat this ghost, he can still escape. How could the entire army be destroyed in its hands?" Sika followed Aiwen, and had different evaluations of him. the opinion of. "It is true that there are no third-level professionals left, but I am talking about ordinary exploration teams. Ordinary exploration teams will not be equipped with third-level professionals. It is almost enough to have a second-level professional as the captain. This kind of This combination should still be within its hunting range." Ivan came back to his senses and shook his head. Hearing this, Sika remained silent, seemingly acquiescing to Aiwen's judgment. "As for those exploration teams led by third-level professionals" Ivan mused: "I was thinking that after it captured the members of our team just now, it deliberately designed to lead us far away in other directions. , Isn¡¯t it just to ensure that he can enjoy his prey quietly?¡± ¡°¡¡± Sika was stunned and slowly thought about the meaning behind Ai Wen¡¯s words. "As you said, the strength of this ogre tree cannot deal with the third-level professionals. What on earth caused those third-level professionals to disappear So I am thinking about the direction we were led to. Go up?Will there be an ogre tree that can deal with third-level professionals? "Ivan said in a calm tone. "Isn't it a natural choice to hunt prey within the scope of your own strength, and then leave the prey that you can't deal with to more powerful companions, each getting what he needs? " "impossible! Sika retorted fiercely: "This is just a plant monster. It has no intelligence at all. How could it design such a complicated hunting tactic?" " "They may not understand such complicated hunting tactics. "Ivan shook his head: "Maybe it's just an instinct that has been engraved in nature for thousands of years. " While talking, the two of them had already walked to the charred ogre tree trunk. They didn't think it was a big deal from a distance. Now when they got closer, they realized that it was really huge. Even if it was broken from the middle, it would be bigger than Ivan. It¡¯s about one meter higher. ¡°Okay, no more talk. After working hard for so long, it¡¯s time for us to check out the loot. "Ai Wen took the lead in ending this topic. When Sika heard this, he walked aside and looked at Ai Wen's actions. Ai Wen did not hesitate and took out a sharp dagger directly from the space bag and pointed it at the person in front of him. The ogre tree looked at it for a few times and began to circle around its body. After a few turns, he finally found a position that seemed to be relatively suitable. He picked up the dagger and stabbed it in with force. The blade of the sword was completely buried in the tree, leaving only the hilt. Ivan held the hilt in his hand, and his expression suddenly became extremely strange. It seemed that the feeling of the sword piercing was different from what he expected. After thinking about it, he Holding the hilt of the sword, he carefully cut along the tree body. Maybe the trunk of the ogre tree was originally very hard and difficult to be damaged by a sword, but after being scorched by the fire, even the hard wood would become extremely brittle. Without much effort, he successfully cut three scars on the tree, forming a complete triangle. Then Ivan pried hard, and with a 'snap', the whole blackened board was removed from the tree. After prying it off, a large dark hole was exposed at the back. A strong smell of burnt and putrid smells instantly emerged from the hole, causing Alvin to take a few steps back and wait for the smell inside to dissipate. Is there a hole in the human-demon tree? Sure enough there is a problem! "Sika said excitedly from the side. "Normal plant monsters are the same as ordinary plants. As long as they are healthy, they are solid inside, because hollow means weakness and death. Plant monsters like this with big rotten holes inside, There is definitely something wrong with being able to hunt creatures so vigorously. ¡°You, come here! "Ivan covered his nose and took a few steps back until he could no longer smell the smell. Then he put down his hand, turned around and waved behind him. The soldier who was looking after his companions was stunned and immediately ran over. " Expand the hole in the tree and rest assured, it is already dead and the smell may be worse, but it will never hurt you. "Ai Wen ordered. "Lord. I see! "The soldier looked excited. He walked up to the triangular gap and was not afraid of the rancid smell wafting out of it. He spat into the palm of his hand and grabbed the machete. He slashed hard at the triangular gap. The second-level warrior had much more brute strength than Aiwen. There was a loud "click" and a big crack of more than one meter was cut into the tree without hesitation. He held the machete stuck in the crack with both hands and pulled it. Amidst a series of explosions, a large piece of black and rotten wood was suddenly pried off from the tree, and a large pool of red-black liquid burst out from the gap. When it came out, it looked the same as the liquid that had healed the broken vine before. However, under the high temperature, this large pool of red and black liquid had obviously lost its original magical effect. The soldier didn't care about it at all. Without hesitation, he drew out the machete and swung it continuously at the edge of the crack, quickly expanding the hole to one meter in length. A large amount of rancid red-black liquid overflowed along the crack as he destroyed it, and even some A lot of it was stained on his body. The soldier had long been accustomed to the dirt on his body and ignored it. He just probed deep into the tree hole and looked inside through the fluorescent light scattered on the dome. The soldier was there. He was suddenly startled and backed away, shouting: "Oh my god, what kind of monster is this!" " "Um? "Aiwen and Sika both cheered up and walked towards the crack in the tree trunk. Although they knew that the ogre tree in front of them was dead, they heard the panicked cry of the soldier. Just in case, the two The people invariably put a magic shield on themselves, walked to the crack, and held their breath. The two of them looked in and took a breath of fright, suddenly being blown away by the rot emanating from the inside of the tree.He was choking on his breath: "Ahem, what kind of monster is this?" Inside the tree was an oval oval cavity, about two meters high, and in the center of the cavity was a "chiluo" yellow-green humanoid creature. , this humanoid creature's body has obvious female characteristics, and the arrangement of the facial features on its head also tends to be soft, but both the ends of its limbs and the hair-like structures that are hanging down have turned into withered vines and are connected to the body of the tree. Could it be that this dead tree is just a covering shell, and this strange dead vine girl is the true face of the 'Ogre Tree'? But no matter what the body of the ogre tree is, it was burned to death by Ivan for ten minutes with a wall of fire. Even if it was not scorched, it was already cooked. "Master Sika, you are well-informed. Do you think it is a plant or an animal?" Ivan asked curiously, pointing to the unknown humanoid creature in the tree hole. "Well" Sika frowned in thought. This was the first time he had seen this kind of creature, so he couldn't answer it. So, he carefully put his hand into the hole and quickly pinched the chest of the humanoid creature. and then retracted. "" Aiwen and the soldier standing next to him were both stunned, and then looked at Sika with a perverted look. "I'm not a pervert!" Feeling the two people's gazes, Sika first clarified, and then began to explain: "According to my opinion. This thing is either an anthropomorphic plant or a lignified human being. Which one is it?" One way, you can easily tell by feeling the softness of that location. "How does it feel in your hand?" Ivan said with a sly smile. Beside him, the soldier was moving his hands with gleaming eyes, looking eager to try. "It's very bad. It feels very hard. It should be an anthropomorphic plant." Sika said regretfully. "I think so." Ivan said without any surprise, after he was surprised before. He quickly recalled that he had used physiognomy to scan this area. If the strange creature hiding in the tree trunk was a humanoid creature that had assimilated with the tree trunk, and its strength was less than level 4, there would definitely be information fed back. Since If there is no information feedback, then this should mean a lack of self-awareness. An anthropomorphic plant that only acts on instinct. "No matter what, get it out first!" Ivan ordered towards the soldier. The soldier lowered his hands regretfully and nodded: "Okay, Lord." It only took a few minutes for the remaining charred tree trunks to be destroyed by the soldier, and the lifeless humanoid creature was also destroyed. It was taken out completely from the big hole in the tree. At this time, all the secrets of the Ogre Tree were exposed. ?As expected. The true face of the ogre tree is actually this unknown humanoid creature, because the dead vines extending to the periphery are not owned by the dead tree itself, but grow directly on the unknown humanoid creature. They pierce the trunk and extend to In the forest, due to the similar color appearance, they look as if they are growing directly from the trees. There are a large number of hair-thick needle-shaped straws growing on the surface of these dead vines. Using these straws, the dead vines can quickly absorb the vitality of surrounding organisms. ¡°Perhaps this was originally a rare tall tree, but I just don¡¯t know why. It was spotted by this unknown humanoid creature and parasitized into its body. After that, it was sucked out of all nutrients and slowly died. Its upper half collapsed into a large number of fragments. Scattered on the ground, the lower half maintained its original shape because it protected the body of the unknown humanoid creature, and may have been strengthened to a certain extent. But for this big tree, nature is meaningless. Squatting next to this unknown humanoid creature and looking at it for a long time, Sika finally asked with a longing look: "Viscount Alvin, this thing what do you want to do with it?" "I will release the soul tip on it. I'm very interested in Xiao's ability, so I only need its crystal core." Ivan smiled and said, "Your goal should be to study its body. I think our goals are not in conflict." "Oh, indeed" Sika said regretfully. If he could get the crystal core of this unknown humanoid creature, Sika certainly didn't want to give up, but since Aiwen asked for it, he could only settle for the next best thing and get the remaining body. "Then it's decided. I'll put the crystal core away first." After Ivan finished speaking, he leaned over and reached out his hand to the head of the unknown humanoid creature. He sensed it slightly and nodded: "There is a weak magic power. "Reaction, the crystal core should be here." "Lord, let me take out the crystal core for you!" The soldier recommended himself. "That's fine!" Ivan took a step back and gave up his position. ?Facing the wooden beauty on the ground, the soldier showed no mercy. He slashed down with his knife and split its head open at the right time. A green crystal core rolled out from inside. The soldier picked it up. , wiped it a little, and handed it to Alvin respectfully. Ivan took the crystal core and looked at it carefully. The crystal core was about the size of a table tennis ball and in the shape of a 2tetrahedron. However, perhaps because the previous battle had consumed a lot of energy inside, it now looked a little dim. Theoretically, the crystal nuclei condensed after the death of high-level monsters have a certain chance of storing the spell structures of the spells they used before they died. As long as these spell structures are studied out before they expire, the spell can be successfully mastered. Ivan tried to pour a little magic power into it, and the green crystal core suddenly glowed, and a set of illusory and complex spell structures flashed across the surface of the crystal core. "Sure enough, it has been preserved!" Ai Wen suddenly felt happy. At this time, Sika had also neatly put the remaining humanoid body into the space bag. Seeing this, he said: "Congratulations to Viscount Ivan." "It's just good luck. I don't know if the spell structure inside collapsed before it collapsed. Can you analyze it completely?" Aiwen said modestly, and quickly put the green crystal core into the space bag with a flick of his hand. "Viscount Alvin, do we want to continue exploring?" Sika watched eagerly as he hid the crystal core, sighed in his heart, and then asked eagerly. "No!" Ivan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I asked you to come in and explore together just to understand what dangers there are in the forest. Now that the situation has been discovered, you and I have each obtained what we want. There is no need to continue exploring. " "But" Sika hesitated. "Don't worry, I know what you want. I just need to study the spell structure in that crystal core. If you can perform well in the future voyage, my research information and this crystal core can be used as rewards in the future. , presented to you." Ivan smiled. "Viscount Alvin, you are indeed a generous leader." Sika cheered up and praised. Thank you in the world for no self and the monthly ticket of the small study.
