Chapter 12: Wood Demon Tower
I don’t know how long I slept. When Zhang Yang woke up again, he felt like his head was about to explode. He wanted to recall what happened, but it was just a mess. He couldn’t even focus his eyes, as if he was rolling his eyes.
After buffering for more than ten minutes, he finally recovered a little and found himself in a somewhat dim cave. Hmm, it looked a little familiar.
Looking more closely, isn't this the true form of the tree root monster?
It was very quiet outside. You could see soldiers on patrol and the spearmen captain Wu Yuan guarding the cave entrance.
However, Zhang Yang did not bother to ask what happened, but quickly touched the village construction order. Although this was the culprit that led him to this damn world, now without this thing, he really could not survive.
"Village Chief, are you awake?"
The spearmen captain Wu Yuan asked outside the tree hole.
"What's going on now? How long have I been unconscious? Is this thing really dead?"
Zhang Yang asked.
"Village chief, it's safe outside now. No other monsters have been found. You have been unconscious for about an hour. As for the tree monster, it is indeed dead. Also, your condition was very bad just now. I put you in this tree hole and it got better because I found that the body of the tree monster seems to have some healing effect."
Wu Yuan replied in a serious tone.
Zhang Yang nodded and began to check the information mapped by the village construction order. However, he searched everywhere and did not find any killing information, nor did he see the soul of the tree demon. What was going on?
Could it be that Wu Yuan had embezzled the money? He vaguely remembered that before he passed out, he saw Wu Yuan tearing off a green tree heart.
Just as he was thinking this, Zhang Yang saw a familiar flash of white light, followed by several pieces of information appearing before his eyes.
"Successfully strangled a level 15 Earth-walking Wood Monster."
"Because you used a spell of imprisonment on the wood monster until it died, the village building order cannot gain energy."
"Because you used a spell to imprison the wood demon until it died, the village construction order cannot obtain the demon soul."
"Because you used a spell of imprisonment on the wood monster until it died, the village construction order cannot obtain materials."
"You get a special item, Level 1 Wood Demon Tower (check properties)."
"Wood Demon Tower, Level 1."
"Effect 1: When walking in the jungle with the Wood Demon Tower, you will gain the passive trait of camouflage, which has a high chance of avoiding enemy searches. The effect is best when you are stationary. If there are no trees within 100 meters, this effect will disappear."
"Function 2: Use the Wood Demon Tower to slowly restore the wounded soldiers until they recover."
"Effect 3: Using the Wood Demon Tower can speed up the recovery of soul power."
"Note: The volume of the Wood Demon Tower exceeds the upper limit of the storage space provided by the Village Construction Order. Please upgrade the quality of the Village Construction Order."
——
"Is there such a good thing?"
Zhang Yang was very satisfied, and he couldn't be dissatisfied, because this was a level 15 monster. If he didn't cast a confinement spell to confine it from beginning to end, the soldiers under his command would not be able to kill the wood monster at all.
You know, those two spider lords had to rely on venom to keep the wood monster out.
So he was really satisfied with this result.
In addition, he also experimented with another effect of the confinement spell, and to be honest, he was very surprised.
Really, in fact, he didn't take the imprisonment spell seriously at first. He thought it was just a control skill like in the game, which made the target unable to move for a few seconds.
Wow, it turns out that this imprisonment spell can actually imprison the target's body and soul forever. The effect is more than just overbearing, it's simply a magical skill.
The only thing is that the soul strength of the caster must be higher than the target, otherwise it will be useless.
Zhang Yang himself was scared. How lucky he was. If he didn't have a C+ level soul, if he didn't insist on not selling his soul, he would have been imprisoned by the two spider lords and turned into a special prop.
"It seems that if I have a chance in the future, I must prioritize upgrading and strengthening my soul, otherwise I won't even know how I died when I die."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yang simply continued to lie in the Wood Demon Tower. He felt that his soul power had not yet fully recovered.
It was the spearmen captain Wu Yuan who took the initiative to report: "Village chief, I tore off the heart of the tree demon during the battle just now, but before I could come to my senses, the heart of the tree demon disappeared in my hands, but I——"
"It's okay. The disappearance of the tree heart is related to my magic."
Zhang Yang comforted him, saying that the tree heart must be very precious, but under the confinement spell, no material could escape.
It took a full hour for Zhang Yang to walk out of the Wood Demon Tower refreshed. Now he felt that this special item was even more valuable.
Because it can speed up the recovery of soul power, it means that he can increase the number of times he can release the confinement spell.
By then, even if he encounters a boss like the Earth-Walking Wood Monster again, he will not be afraid at all.
"Speaking of which, am I now considered a mysterious, noble, and terrifying magician?"
Zhang Yang felt happy just thinking about it.
You see, level 2 vision can be thought of as long-range detection magic.
Level 2 Concealment can be considered an invisibility spell.
The second level of protection is the shield spell.
Add a spell of imprisonment, what else could this be but a magician? As for building a village and farming? Humph, what the hell! I will never farm in my life.
But after daydreaming for a while, Zhang Yang soon became sad.
The reason was very simple. First, he had no energy left as he had used it up before. Therefore, he could not open his second-level vision and naturally could not determine where the monsters were.
Second, the wooden monster tower is too tall, a full ten meters high, and it would take seven or eight people to hug it. Although it has shrunk, how can it be moved with such a large size and such a heavy weight? Or even if it can be moved, this is a primeval forest with complex terrain. What if a monster attacks us? What if the soldiers are exhausted and then encounter monsters? "It seems that this thing is not suitable for moving and can only be used in a fixed location. Otherwise, I will build a village here? Anyway, this place looks quite flat."
"No, no, no, we can't build a village. I only have 9 spots left for my village building order, and I need to replenish troops at a critical moment. Building a village here is a dead end. I won't make such a mistake."
Just when Zhang Yang was in a dilemma and hesitant, he was suddenly startled. The soldiers drew their weapons and shouted. When he looked up, he saw a huge black deer walking gracefully from the depths of the forest.
However, this deer is too big, or it is not a deer, but just a huge stag head. The whole head is probably about fifteen meters tall, but half of the height is huge antlers.
What's even more bizarre is that all kinds of strange things are hung on the branches of the deer antlers, including a blue wolf's head, a red eagle's feathers, green fruits, bison horns, black mushrooms, bright flowers, etc. As for its body, it is covered with dark green moss. From a distance, it looks like a mountain god, assuming it is hiding in the deep grass and not moving.
This deer-headed monster swaggered to a distance of one hundred meters away from Zhang Yang and the others. The emotional changes revealed in its eyes were the same as those of a human, and its gaze was fixed on the Wood Demon Tower. It was obvious that it came for this purpose.
"Village chief, I'm afraid this is a lord-level monster, and it's very mysterious."
The spearmen captain Wu Yuan whispered, his expression more serious than ever before.
Zhang Yang felt even more bitter in his heart. His luck was too bad. After he killed the small spider, the big spider came. After he killed the big spider, the earth-walking wood monster came. He finally killed the wood monster, but the tower formed by the wood monster's corpse attracted this mountain god-like monster.
"Everyone, form a formation and stand with your back to the Wood Demon Tower. This guy is not easy to deal with."
He could only give such an order. After all, it was impossible to ask him to retreat and abandon the Wood Demon Tower.
Seeing Zhang Yang and his men forming a defensive formation, the deer monster on the opposite side actually revealed a look of disdain in its eyes. Then, it opened its mouth and let out a wolf howl. At the same time, the green wolf head hanging on the antlers on its head turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared.
Is this a more mysterious witchcraft? Zhang Yang was just guessing when the sound of wolves howling could be heard from all directions. In a blink of an eye, more than fifty huge green wolf monsters rushed out of the woods. Their target was not the deer monster, but Zhang Yang and his men.
