Chapter 189: The Fury of the Wood Demon
From thinking about countermeasures to completing the arrangements, Zhang Yang only spent half an hour. He had to thank his past for not doing his job properly, and for the experience of making wooden spears and fireballs when he had nothing to do.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, even if he had an A+ soul strength, even if he could think of using this huge forest as a battlefield for counterattack, he would definitely not be able to arrange such a weird ambush.
"It's almost time for me to watch the show."
Zhang Yang smiled, feeling quite accomplished. However, the people who were searching for him had not arrived yet. This was a headache for him, because it showed that the enemy was very stable and confident.
As for the possibility that the enemy is not yet prepared, that is impossible.
He would bet a dime that the area outside the forest was now tightly surrounded by the army.
"My dear, it's up to you from now on."
Zhang Yang was hiding on a big tree, holding nine little birds in his hands. These birds were all caught by him above the forest using his soul force field. At this moment, they seemed to be tied by invisible ropes and could not fly out of his palms no matter how hard they tried.
Zhang Yang's way of escape lies in these nine little birds. This sounds incredible, but it becomes simple if combined with magic words.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
Zhang Yang held nine little birds in one hand and gently brushed the tree trunk with the other hand. A faint green light could be seen between his fingers, and then the green light quickly weaved into a tough rope only as thick as a thumb.
These are all little tricks used to escape.
About half an hour later, flocks of birds began to fly in the distant forest. Looking at the range, it completely covered all directions. Zhang Yang watched carefully. The soul force field silently enveloped his whole body. This was also an excellent means of concealment. However, he was worried that the other party would have more powerful means, so he had to be prepared.
Soon, figures flashed, and a search team of twenty people appeared in Zhang Yang's sight. These twenty people were very powerful and could leap like the wind. They all had at least one extraordinary attribute, and there were melee, ranged, priests, and mages. The combination was quite perfect.
They were also very cautious. Every time they searched a certain distance, they would take out an object for detection.
Zhang Yang saw it clearly, and then he grinned. Well, the worst thing happened. This was what he was afraid of. Zhao Xianyu was good at divination. He could produce many talismans when he had nothing to do. Those people must have this kind of talisman in their hands. As long as they reached a certain distance around him, the detection talisman would give an alarm.
"There's no point in watching the show. Let's go!"
"Magic Words: Fly!"
Zhang Yang uttered some magic words, and the nine little birds instantly transformed into nine winged demons. They were very ugly, and their flying ability was not very good. After all, it was not a regular magic word, but it was enough to carry Zhang Yang to a high altitude.
However, Zhang Yang did not really let the winged demon take him away. He still hid in the tree canopy and took the opportunity to release a soul force field. Within a diameter of ten kilometers, all detection talismans burned instantly.
There were shouts everywhere, and some people even jumped onto the treetops, which was considered smart, but all they could see were nine strange human-shaped birds, flying desperately in all directions, with no sign of Zhang Yang at all.
But no one dared to be careless at this time. What if Zhang Yang escaped with these strange birds? No one expected that even if the land was blocked, the sky could not be blocked.
In the chaos, the nine winged demons flew away and disappeared.
The chasing team was decisive. They immediately divided half of their men, some to chase the strange bird, while the other half continued to search on the spot, leaving no chance for any escape.
"Zhao Xianyu is really awesome. He has so many talented people under him."
Zhang Yang was hiding in the tree canopy, feeling very emotional. That's right, the nine winged demons were just a means of confusing the public. The sky was clear, and if he hung under the strange bird, he would definitely be discovered.
Moreover, the winged demon's physical strength is not high. It can only fly for a few dozen miles and then has to land to rest. People on the ground just need to keep an eye on it.
But the good news now is that there are only 9 members left in the hunting team, and all the detection talismans in their hands have been used up in advance.
Zhang Yang just watched quietly as these pursuers flew past him quickly. One of them even jumped over the treetops one meter away from him. Unfortunately, without the detection talisman paper, it was extremely difficult for them to find him.
"Something's happening!"
"Discover the place where the God of Storms fell!"
"Signs of what appear to be wood devils have been spotted."
"Everyone be careful, be on high alert, the enemy can summon the wood devil! I suspect he has not left at all, and is hiding in this forest!"
——
The atmosphere suddenly changed. The wood devil mentioned by these pursuers was naturally the terrestrial wood monster. 2,200 years ago, the ghosts from the abyss invaded this world. Wherever the yin energy passed, the terrestrial wood monster appeared too frequently, so the people in this world had a deep memory of it.
“Bang!”
A signal arrow was launched into the sky.
The situation escalated and everything developed as Zhang Yang had expected. In order to strike first, large trees that were suspected to be earth-walking wood monsters were quickly cut down and burned, until the real earth-walking wood monster appeared. This caused the first wave of panic. Even though this earth-walking wood monster was hacked to pieces in the first place, it was enough to prove that this forest had become Zhang Yang's home court.
That's why he was able to kill the god. Once this beautiful misunderstanding was formed, it was out of control.
"withdraw!"
The leader of the pursuers was very decisive and ordered a complete retreat.
Because it was about to get dark, in a dark forest, the enemy could still summon ground-walking wood monsters. If we didn't retreat quickly, we would be courting death.
It’s useless even if they all have extraordinary strength.
Zhang Yang silently watched them evacuate without a single one left, with a smile on his face. Everything went smoothly in the second phase.
When night fell and dozens of fires suddenly appeared at the edge of the forest, Zhang Yang finally felt relieved.
Those people were setting fire.
This is indeed the simplest method, although stupid, it can ensure sufficient safety.
The loss was only a forest with a diameter of 50 kilometers, but it was worth it to eliminate a major threat! "This time, I'm really going to fly away."
Zhang Yang took out a palm-sized wooden sculpture of a golden eagle. This was a little gadget he had made a long, long time ago, a prop created using a confinement spell.
Once activated, it summons a golden eagle, which can then fly for half an hour.
To be honest, this is much more powerful than the winged demon.
Half an hour was enough for him to fly three hundred miles in one breath.
"Goodbye, everyone. When I come back, the revenge army of the Earth-walking Wood Demon will sweep away everything. You will regret this fire."
Zhang Yang laughed three times, jumped onto the golden eagle, and quickly disappeared into the night sky.
