Hades Forest II
Xiang Monji isn't planning to kill the elder treant which is stronger than him, he wants to know it's attack pattern, whether the Elder treant will move from it's abode if being attack relentlessly, if fire magic will affect it, if their woods are perfect for firewood after dissecting the tree from the source and so on.
He cast a magic circle, fire wall which is ten feet tall and rectangular in shape. This is to prevent them from approaching him.
Suddenly several spike of roots came out penetrating the fire wall. With Xiang Monji's passive barrier he wouldn't dare block it with his passive barrier, especially he didn't buff himself like what he did in his last battle. The roots is somehow ominous that he felt that it would be wise to dodge the attack.
With no time to think, several root spikes also happen to came out from the ground.
"Seriously, it doesn't give it's prey the time to invade the attack, if it was an ordinary cultivator *He would probably have lots of holes in *his body."
(*belonging to or associated with a person or animal of unspecified sex (in modern use chiefly replaced by "his or her" or "their")
"Interesting, the roots aren't burning, it's roots are impregnated with it's spiritual energy. No wonder magic doesn't have any effect"
Firewall doesn't have any effect at all,it's safe to say that fire and any forms of elements are nought.
"What about my trinomous ki,"
Hundred of spikes persistently try to charge at him, envading the root spikes won't help at all since it too much to invade everything. But it would be a different story if he goes naked leaving his underwear intact and utilize his newly given skill called, Naked Invasive.
He try to summon a military knife that is shape out from his trinimous ki. One on his right and the other on his left left hand.
He struggle to parry the spiky pointy roots that are coated with the elder treant's spiritual energy, which is hard to cut with his trinimous ki alone. Every distance and corner is bombarded with multiple spikes.
The roots that were coated with His spiritual power was able to make a hole on his passive barrier and made a scratch on the left cheek of Xiang Monji, it is bleeding blood and flow downward.
Abruptly the bleeding stop and the cut on his cheek was healed thanks to his passive skill regeneration.
" Good, good....my perception was right. I made the right choice invading the attack."
The fire wall didn't last and got extinguish, It's spicky roots from the ground retreat at the same time at his front vision and every corner. A number of treants charge against him uniformly in group as they try to apprehend him and offer him to the elder treant.
["This must be the elder treant tactic, His goal is to exhaust my energy, by not giving me the time to rest, too bad I got an innate ability that I got from Obelisk called dragonic blood.
(Enhances vitality and endurance, effect: high stamina)
The undead treants are connected to it's roots. After deliberate observation and insight his conclusion is, perfect for training and a valuable asset to Maven City. As for fire woods he will still test out the specimen that he extracted from Hades forest.
He avert himself from the treants charging at him and cast earth dome. A wall of earth raise upward and encircle him like an igloo.
The Treants are near and try to attempt in destroying the earth dome. With the bombardment from their stem slamming the earth dome, it finally had a crack in just a second and destroyed.
Upon checking inside the earth dome, no one is inside.
"???????" It raise a question to the elder treant and the undead treants.
The undead treants are the eyes and ears of the elder treant and its roots in the ground are it's receptor.
"Urrghh...." A face of confusion,
The ground inside the earth dome is intact, they didn't even see him fly upward in the air.
"It became a mystery to them, and still a question that can't be answered by their knowledge."
{Pascue Valley, southern part of the valley}
Stretch his right hand on the tree."Pheeew! Those bastards really have no intention of holding back."
Inside the earth dome Xiang Monji cast teleportation magic and arrive at the southern part of the valley. This time, it's only a moment of temporary retreat, since he has no time to train, he mean battle with the treant which is more stronger than him by a fold.
He didn't use domain or any sort of aoe magic or any martial art technique, since he doesn't have any intention of having a full fight with an elder treant.
He was just testing the water and no time to fight, since he'll be commencing a massive feast. Unlike with Obelisk which he is fully prepared, somehow he lost in the fight due to massive difference in physical and defensive power despite, being tremendously buff for thirty minutes.
On the southern part of Pascue valley, he usually does the same thing, cutting trees. These trees aren't Iron wood trees, but similar to an oak tree which only grows in the southern part of the valley.
He cut as many trees as possible, as usual deforestation. Cut, then turn them into a into a portable outdoor picnic set table. Includes wooden fork, spoon, plate and etc.
When he's done,these hundreds of outdoor table set are stored in the storage inventory.
After the deforestration he will just recast support magic. The trunks will grow and revitalize as if nothing happen. This is to keep the habitat intact for animals and beast that reside in it.
Everything is done and set, he return to the city lord mansion at his backyard where no one is around. Xiang Monji then proceed to the frontyard where the event will be held.
He open his storage inventory and organizely arrange the *outdoor picnic set table on the vast frontyard. On the table a huge clean flat size leaf is on top of the table.
(*The table is attached with a seat, foldable and can turn into a seat that you usually see in the park)
lt only took him three minutes minutes to prepare everything.
At this moment the head chief and kitchen staff arrive, bringing a huge *kawali that could serve five hundred eaters in one go, along with a *kalan.
Some staff also brought *palayok and a grilling simple machine.
(*filipino: Kawali, in chinese: Wok, english: Frying pan
* Kalan: earthernware stove
* Palayok: clay pot used for cooking filipino soups and stews.)
