Chapter 725 Plans and Accidents
Whitebeard is behind the gate.
He and the orange cat have made this place their base.
But when Thor walked through the gate, the first thing he saw was not the white-bearded wizard squatting on the ground, but the dense, twisted and curly tree roots behind the gate.
These tree roots were supposed to stay underground, but now they were piled up inside the academy like the walls of a maze. It was as if they were deliberately trimmed into this shape by a gardener.
The wall of roots was taller than Thor.
Only when Thor flew up could he see the even more shocking giant tree stumps inside through the vast wall of tree roots that was like a dense forest.
Just as the orange cat described, a tree stump that had been cut in half, or cut off at the roots, lay flat in the center of the college.
The original buildings have been destroyed or squeezed to the surrounding areas.
What surprised Thor was that the tree stump had been exposed to the air for several months, but the cross section of the stump was still as fresh as if it had just been cut.
Thor narrowed his eyes and it seemed as if countless runes were moving on the broken cross-section of the tree stump.
Sometimes they appear on the bark and sometimes they are buried deep inside the trunk.
The magic power was evenly transmitted to the tree roots on all sides, causing the wall of tree roots in front of him to slowly grow higher and larger.
"Don't think about flying over there." At this time, Whitebeard, who was squatting on the ground drawing a magic circle, said, "The witchcraft of the orange cat and I both rely on the ground. If you are in the sky, we have no way to go over to support you."
Without turning his head, he pointed to the wall of tree roots. "And these tree roots can actually grow to very high heights. And even if you can fly higher, it will be useless, after all, the huge tree stump we are targeting is on the ground."
Thor fell back to the ground, "Thanks for the reminder."
Only then did he start to observe the magic circle Whitebeard had drawn on the ground.
This small piece of clean open space was almost the last pure land in the academy. Moreover, a witchcraft array was drawn on this open space, which almost covered the entire open space.
Thor and the orange cat could only stand against the wall.
Whitebeard was still perfecting the details of the magic circle and making final preparations for the imminent attack.
Thor observed the magic circle on the ground for a while, "Air...cannon?"
"I like your adjective." Whitebeard finished drawing the last sorcery rune and looked up. "I used to fire cannons frequently. But now I don't have the chance."
He stood up and explained the magic circle to Thor.
"The air cannon is just as you described. It gathers the air nearby and then shoots it out like a cannon. The longer we are entangled with these tree roots, the more passive we will become. This magic circle can use the air cannon to open a path for us to get closer to the tree stump."
"When we reach the end of the road opened by the air cannon, we can use witchcraft to advance, which can save a lot of effort."
Whitebeard didn't seem to be afraid that Thor would steal his skills, and he openly displayed the original witchcraft circle in front of Thor.
"How long do you have?" The orange cat paced back and forth impatiently. "When it's completely light, these tree roots will become more active."
"Now." Whitebeard stood up, "We retreat to the front of the gate. Remember to rush into the gap as soon as you hear the roar."
The orange cat at the side was already ready to attack, and said to the two of them intently, "Remember, if you find someone who looks like Dean Bai Dong, you have to wait until everyone is gathered before you start searching him. Otherwise, you'll be asking for trouble!"
From the tone of the orange cat, Thor seemed to have determined that once he found Dean Baidong, he could subdue him.
But would the strength of a dean of a powerful force be so weak? As for whether the other party had transformed, Thor was not sure. After all, in the memory of Wizard Jonah, the other party only launched the Inverted Tree that sacrificed everyone in order to save Wizard Beth who was injured by Char.
However, no matter what the truth is, it is time for him to enter the academy.
I think Keli who stayed outside has already set up five auxiliary magic circles.
"Bang--"
Suddenly there was an explosion, as if someone had broken a big drum in an instant.
The orange cat and white beard beside him rushed out at the first moment, and Thor waited for a few seconds before following behind them.
The huge air cannon shattered the tree roots in front of it in an instant. When Thor stepped in, the tree roots behind him had actually re-sealed the entrance.
The three men ran inside following the gap created by the air cannon. The closer they got to the center of the academy, the denser and thicker the tree roots became.
The power of the air cannon is gradually weakening, and with the gradual increase in the obstruction, the speed of the channel expansion is beginning to slow down.
But they were still several hundred meters away from the large tree stump in the center.
"Ready!" The orange cat meowed and suddenly jumped to the side.
The next second, several branches with extremely sharp tips shot out from the tree root walls on both sides and pierced into the place where the orange cat had just been with great force.
But then, a thorn rose from the ground, pinched the most vulnerable angle of the tree root, and cut out, directly counterattacking several branches that were attacking the orange cat.
A large number of branches broke and fell to the ground.
Whitebeard on the other side also began to deal with the sneak attacks from the branches on both sides.
His hair is like steel needles, and when put together, it becomes a sharp knife.
The other party must have cast some kind of witchcraft. The branches that were swept by the steel needles would turn dark yellow and brittle, and finally fall off from the tree roots and the wall on their own.
Thor, who was the last one to fall behind, felt the sound of wind whistling behind him. It was obvious that the wall of tree roots behind him was closing together, and there were also man-eating branches attacking him.
Thor didn't even look back, and suddenly a dense mass of black blades appeared behind him.
The blades were like raindrops, launched silently, but like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, tearing into pieces all the branches that tried to attack him.
Thor looked back only after the sound behind him disappeared.
He found that the branches sticking out from the tree root wall had been destroyed, but the tree root wall only had a few small holes.
And those small holes soon disappeared as other tree roots quickly filled in.
"It replenishes very quickly, even faster than the casting speed. What is providing energy to these tree roots?"
Without needing anyone to answer, Thor immediately thought of those who had disappeared in the inner city.
The three of them ran forward quickly, while dealing with attacks from above, below, left, right, front and back.
After losing the blank area for air cannon propulsion, moving forward again requires overcoming the tree roots that are like city walls.
At this time, Thor and the orange cat switched positions, with him taking the lead and using the sharper black blade to open a gap in the road ahead.
Although the three men were all quite strong, there were too many branches and roots around them, and soon their clothes were torn.
Despite the difficulties, they gradually approached the stump of the inverted tree.
"I see the stump. There are no nasty trees on it. King... Whitebeard, throw me over there. Black Blade, help me eliminate the attack in mid-air."
This was also the plan designated by the three of them.
Whitebeard didn't hesitate. He grabbed the orange cat's front legs, spun it twice in the air quickly, and threw it out.
"Meow!!!!"
The orange cat cried angrily, obviously unhappy with the way Whitebeard threw him.
Thor smiled and immediately waved his hand to let Black Blade follow.
According to the plan, after the orange cat reaches the tree stump, it will immediately deploy another small air cannon to open a new passage beside the two people.
In this way, Thor and Whitebeard can break through a thin layer of "wall" and move forward a long distance again.
After a few repetitions, it was enough for them to break free from the roots and climb onto the surface of the large stump.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes.
After the orange cat flew out of the two people's sight, it suddenly let out a shrill scream.
“Meow, meow, meow, meow—”
Whitebeard glared, "Could it be that these tree roots can climb up the stump?"
But then the orange cat continued to shout: "There is a ghost!!!"
