Chapter 74 Tree Race
After Hussein finished speaking, he flicked the blade lightly, and the worn long sword actually made a crisp low groan in this knight's hand, this voice carried a murderous aura, and Du Wei, who was standing beside
Hussein, could clearly feel a trace of cold air passing by, causing his hair to stand on end, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Dardanelle also looked around nervously: "What did you find?" Could it be the Golden-Eyed Python?
"It's not." Hussein said coldly: "The golden-eyed python is a solitary monster, these guys... A lot.
In the
air, there was a faint rustling sound that seemed to be the branches and leaves, and then from a distance, there seemed to be a muffled thunderous sound, which oscillated and caused the surrounding trees and snow on the rocks to shook.
In addition, Du Wei could also feel a strange sound, these sounds seemed to be conversation, buzzing, but not like human voices, not like the howl of a monster, but mixed with the sound of those rustling leaves, and like the sound of a group of bees...
Suddenly, around the three of them, suddenly there was a clicking sound in countless places, like the sound of wood breaking, and then this sound was in a uproar!
Next, Du Wei can be regarded as an eye-opener!
First of all, a cedar tree about twenty steps away from them suddenly shook on its own, and then the roots of the entire tree automatically pulled out from the snow! With ice residue and soil chips, shaking a few times, the two huge rhizomes split like two legs of a person, and then in a clumsy way, took two steps forward!
Du Wei suddenly woke up!
That rustling hum is like some kind of wake-up signal! Soon, in the surrounding forest, countless trees began to shake, and then "woke up"! The trees seemed to come to life, pulled their roots out of the snow, and then walked awkwardly in the snow as if they were people.
Du Wei and Dardanelle were already stunned, but Hussein had a pensive expression on his face, holding a sword in his hand, squinting at the trees that had come to life.
These "tree people" gathered more and more, from a dozen to dozens, these huge bodies were densely packed towards the mouth of the canyon, but they kept a certain distance from Du Wei and the other three, these trees have no eyes, no mouth, but they have a lot of arms! Those branches were curled, and many tree people used their branches to roll up "weapons" from the ground.
Some are huge rocks, some are frozen soil cracked from the snow, and some simply grab large blocks of ice, just roll them with branches, and slowly move towards the mouth of the canyon after all!
"They... Is it ready to attack us ?! Du Wei shouted loudly: "Let's back off!" Go into the canyon! "Wait
! Wait a minute! Hussein's voice was steady: "These are tree people!" I know this creature... However, tree people are gentle monsters, they never take the initiative to attack other things, don't act rashly! If you annoy them, they can wake up more trees! Don't forget, we're in a frozen forest right now! There are trees everywhere!
As he spoke, suddenly, several tree people standing in the front row seemed to be alarmed by the conversation between the two, and the big tree let out a strange roar (Du Wei couldn't understand, these things didn't have a mouth, how could they make such a roar-like sound), in this roar, the stones and ice cubes rolled in the "hands" of several tree people were thrown towards the place where the three people were standing!
"!"
Du Wei shouted, he quickly chanted a spell, and two wind blades shot out, scattering a huge block of ice in mid-air, while another wind blade swept one away.
Faced with the dense rocks that fell with the split head cover face, Hussein suddenly grabbed Du Wei's clothes collar with one hand, and then hit Dardanelle's chest with the hilt of his sword with the other hand to knock Dardanelles away, and then Hussein grabbed Du Wei and jumped to the side...
A dense roar, the dense "rock rain" immediately smashed out of the large open space where the three people stood at the mouth of the canyon just now, Du Wei was shocked, and turned his head to look at Hussein in his busy schedule: "Brother! What did you just say! Gentle temperament? Won't actively attack? They almost smashed us into mashed meat!
A tree man strode over, lifted the huge root (its foot), and smashed the stone statue at the mouth of the canyon with one foot, and then let out a roar.
Behind him, hundreds of huge, giant-like tree figures then sent out a tsunami-like response.
"Hey! They're not very friendly! As if we are about to attack, are we still standing here stupidly? Du Wei said with a wry smile.
"Nonsense, there are trees everywhere here, unless you can run out of the frozen forest right away! Otherwise, the tree people can awaken all the trees in the forest as their partners! Don't annoy them!
"Damn, I didn't mess with them." Du Wei scolded with a smile.
A tree man suddenly bent down, the huge branch swept towards the three people fiercely, Hussein was also a little annoyed, a light golden light flashed on his body, shouted, the broken sword in his hand swept over, the faint golden light flashed, and the "hand" of the tree man was immediately cut off horizontally!
When the knight made this move, he simply did not do anything and did not stop! He put down Du Wei, but he threw himself forward! Rolling on the spot, dodging a huge foot that a tree man smashed down like an awl, and then slashed through with a backhand sword, and with a click, the root of the tree was cut off by him, and the tree man stood unsteadily, and immediately fell backwards.
The weakness of this huge guy is that he moves slowly, and a tree man falls, but almost knocks down three or four companions. It's like dominoes, one piece is a piece.
The knight simply rushed into the crowd of trees, fighting his small body, jumping and running back and forth in the gaps of the tree people, his sword had cut to seven or eight tree people, but those tree people could not hit him at all, but many attacks hit the body of his companions, and for a while the people in the queue of tree people turned on their backs...
Just when Du Wei was relieved, suddenly those rustling humming sounds from the distance became urgent, as if it was an order, and suddenly all the tree people roared, they no longer clumsily tried to smash Hussein with huge and slow hands and feet, but suddenly, the leaves of these tree people's whole body shook down, with a sharp sound of breaking the air, those leaves were like blades, sweeping towards Hussein!
This attack is much more terrifying! Almost countless magicians sent out countless wind blades at the same time! Even if the knight is fast, he can't dodge the leaves that are smashed by this kind of splitting his head and covering his face from all directions, he immediately rolled on the ground, and then the whole body spread out, and the whole person turned into a golden air mass, the round golden ball of light around the body, blocking all the leaves... For a while, the dense foliage almost annihilated the knight, and his small body instantly turned into a pile of grass covered with leaves.
It's not that Du Wei can't save it - he wants to help, but as soon as he shows his head and grabs two sounds, two leaves are nailed to a rock in front of him! The soft leaves even plunged deep into the rocks! Du Wei and Dardanelles could only honestly hide behind the rocks.
Hussein has been covered with leaves, but the knight took a deep breath, suddenly stretched his arms, fighting qi agitated, suddenly shook off the leaves all over his body, although he has a fighting qi protective body, but under this endless leaf attack, it can't be eaten for a long time. At this moment, the two pupils in Hussein's eyes seemed to turn golden, and the long sword in his hand turned into a golden light!
Du Wei hid behind a rock when he heard an explosion...
boom!!
That golden sword qi spread out, and instantly cut through the roots of the surrounding circle of tree people! Even a few tree people who were close together, under the agitation of the sword blade, the entire drive was broken inch by inch, and the huge body was instantly urged by the indestructible sword qi and turned into a pile of broken wood!
Hussein's move can be regarded as amazing, after the golden light dispersed, centered on the place where he stood, all the tree people within twenty meters around him turned into pieces of broken wood, and the tree people a little farther away also lay on the ground! If this sword goes down, more than half of the hundreds of tree people will be killed by him!
However, this sword obviously also consumed a lot of energy from the knight, he originally had injuries on his body, and his vitality was far from recovering, after this sword, his breathing was also a little uneven, and he couldn't help but use the long sword to hit the ground, panting, and a little sweat appeared on his forehead.
Du Wei and Dardanelle looked at each other, and at the same time jumped out from behind the rock, quickly ran to Hussein's side, Dardanelle quickly put Hussein on his body, dragged him and ran behind the rock, and Du Wei immediately ignored the consumption of mana, as much as possible in one breath did not know how many fireballs were shot, ignited the pile of wood around, and then turned around and ran.
"Run into the canyon!" Du Wei shouted loudly.
"How to run! The entrance is blocked! Dardanelle shouted.
In the first wave of rock-smashing attacks just now, the originally narrow entrance to the canyon was blocked by rocks.
"Then hide behind the rocks first!" Du Wei shouted loudly.
The three retreated to the place where Du Wei and Dardanelle were hiding just now. But behind him, the rustling hum of the forest came again, this time louder than the one at the beginning, and the sound spread farther!
"They're calling for more companions." Hussein sighed: "Let me go, I just used that sword a little too hard just now... Alas, if in normal times, I can take out those things with one sword!
"If you were still a holy knight in normal times, you would not be chased to this ghost place." Du Wei smiled bitterly and said: "You are injured now, your strength is at most three or four percent, but you can't deal with these endless monsters, can you summon that old guy?" I think it's useless to use martial arts melee attacks, it's best to solve them with magic... The magic of massive range strikes.
"Wait, it doesn't seem right..." Dardanelle lay on the rock and showed his eyes to observe, and suddenly looked down and said, "They didn't attack, but retreated."
"What?" Du Wei also poked his head out.
