Chapter 11: Imprisonment
It turned out to be dawn outside.
Then, within a radius of several hundred meters, all the big trees that had regained life yesterday withered and died, with even the leaves falling off. Even when cut with a knife, the trees were completely hollow, as if something important had been pulled out.
As for the tree root monster, there was not even a shadow.
But this is not right. Last night, Zhang Yang clearly heard a crackling sound coming from a distance, which was enough to prove that the cause of the attack by those tree root monsters came from afar.
And now he has not received any killing information, so there is no doubt that either there is a bug in the fantasy village building order, or those tree root monsters are still alive.
This won't do. These bastards destroyed my temporary base overnight and killed so many of my soldiers. No, I have to find them and kill them!
Zhang Yang directly started the second-level visual search, but the result surprised and astonished him, there was not even a single yellow spot of light within the two-kilometer diameter visual search range. Is it possible that there is not even a single monster in such a large area?
This is so weird.
"Look, see if there are any clues around here?"
Zhang Yang waved his hand and started to track down with the remaining soldiers. The tree root monster must have been seriously injured by the spider venom, otherwise it would not have been able to escape so completely.
Also, observing these completely dead and hollow trees, he felt that this tree root monster should have mastered some kind of magic that could mobilize the tree roots to attack, first giving these trees vigorous vitality and then using them to attack.
Soon, Zhang Yang and his team tracked them down to about five or six hundred meters away. During this process, he also activated the second-level vision again to prevent being suddenly attacked.
But this area was really quiet, there was nothing, no insects, no birds singing, no ordinary monsters, as if they had all been scared away by something.
This situation made Zhang Yang feel more and more uneasy. Reason told him that now was not the time for revenge. The most important thing was to hurry up and get out of this primeval forest and then improve every soldier.
"Forget it, no need to search, let's retreat."
Without hesitation, Zhang Yang led his soldiers back in the original direction.
He had only walked less than a few dozen meters when he suddenly felt his scalp tingling and his hair stand on end. Subconsciously, he immediately activated the second-level protection, covering himself and all the soldiers near the area.
Almost at the same time, there was a rustling sound, and countless sharp tree roots and thorns pierced out from the ground, directly piercing the three soldiers who did not have time to enter the protective circle into candied haws.
The ground around them also rumbled continuously. In a moment, under the stunned gaze of Zhang Yang and everyone else, a huge monster emerged from the mud just thirty meters in front of them.
This monster was as tall as a five-story building and could be hugged by dozens of people. Its entire body was made up of tree roots as thick as arms. These roots had a bluish-black luster and kept wriggling and entwining, which was extremely disgusting.
However, Zhang Yang also noticed that at least one-third of the monster's roots had rotted away, and it was unable to move. It just dragged weakly on the ground, as if it had been corroded by spider venom.
Without even waiting for them to attack, the monster pounced on them. Thousands and tens of thousands of tree roots covered the sky and wrapped around the second-level protective shield, constantly squeezing the space.
Sure enough, it was the same old routine used underground, but it was really effective. Once the space of Zhang Yang and his group was squeezed and blocked, even the second-level protective circle would not be enough.
What's more, he doesn't have much energy left.
"Attack its main body!"
Zhang Yang shouted wildly and at the same time released the spell he mastered.
"Imprison!"
He didn't know what level of strength the tree root monster's soul had, but now that things had come to this, he could only take a risk! In an instant, Zhang Yang felt that half of his core soul power was directly extracted, turning into thousands of soul threads, as if he himself had turned into countless tentacle monsters, directly entwining and covering the tree root monster. At the same time, a strange pattern flew out from his body and was directly imprinted on the tree root monster.
It was incredibly magical. At this moment, Zhang Yang even felt that he had touched the depths of the tree root monster's soul. The feeling was extremely clear and far deeper than what could be seen with the naked eye. To put it inappropriately, it was like the fusion of spirit and flesh.
Really, everything about the tree root monster seemed to be under Zhang Yang's understanding and control. He even knew the true weakness of the tree root monster.
Of course, he also sensed the struggle of the tree root monster. It struggled frantically, but it was useless. Zhang Yang's B-level soul crushed it directly. In just one second, the tree root monster stopped struggling, and the confinement spell was completely successful.
At this moment, time seemed to stop, and the tree roots that were originally waving and entangled in the sky were all fixed and motionless.
This is a huge benefit for us.
"kill!"
The spearmen captain Wu Yuan roared and rushed out first. His spear was like a dragon, directly breaking through the entanglement of countless tree roots and blasting into the body of the tree root monster with one blow.
Debris flew everywhere, dozens of tree roots were directly broken, and a wound as big as a bucket appeared on the body of the tree root monster. The combat power of the captain-level soldier was indeed brutal.
At the same time, other soldiers also rushed out shouting. Four elite spearmen followed Wu Yuan and stabbed the tree root monster directly, while four elite sword and shield soldiers waved their swords and chopped off the motionless tree roots like crazy.
The same goes for other ordinary soldiers.
However, the longbowmen did little damage at this moment, because the defense of the tree root monster was extremely high, and even elite sword and shield soldiers had to chop with all their strength to cut it off.
As for Zhang Yang, he entered another state at this moment.
He previously thought that as long as he successfully released the confinement spell, he could just ignore it, just like playing a game. But that was not the case at all, because he had to maintain the confinement spell without moving, otherwise if he relaxed even a little, the tree root monster would struggle out of its confinement.
So he had to maintain it desperately. This feeling was extremely tiring and consumed a lot of his soul power. In just a few seconds, Zhang Yang felt like several days had passed. The deep fatigue from the inside out was almost enough to make people collapse, and he couldn't help but want to give up.
However, Zhang Yang still held on, or to be more precise, his B-level strength soul gave him the capital to persevere.
Three seconds,
Five seconds,
Ten seconds,
Fifteen seconds, twenty seconds. Zhang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching the soldiers frantically cutting off all the external root tentacles of the tree root monster, and watching the spearmen captain Wu Yuan blasting a huge cave on the body of the tree root monster and pulling off a green tree heart the size of a human head. The confinement spell also terminated at the same time.
“Bang!”
An indescribable feeling of fatigue erupted like a volcano, and Zhang Yang fainted completely without even having the chance to check the results of the battle.
