Chapter 114 The Terrifying Red Cloud
Mu Tingying was not to be outdone. Her spirit ice was very sharp, and the ice locks directly penetrated the trees, crushing them one by one. The mountain spirits inside that could not resist were naturally torn into pieces.
After the time when the space was frozen passed, the remaining four mountain spirits saw that the enemy was so ferocious that they suddenly lost the courage to fight any further and wanted to escape one by one.
But in an instant, a wave of spiritual fluctuations swept through them, confusing their emotions, and they immediately became angry. These humans were just food! How dare they come to their forest and kill their kind? They should eat the females and kill the males!
As for the thought of running away that had just occurred to me, it had long been forgotten.
There were ripples of misty colors in Jiang Shaoxu's eyes. When he saw the trees where the four mountain elves were hiding on the left and right sides began to dance again, he immediately stopped the ripples in his heart.
Bai Mo raised his palm and pressed to the left and right. An urgent space vibration sounded, and the four dancing trees on the left and right, along with the mountain elves inside, were all turned into powder.
After destroying the main demon on Ling'erpo, Bai Mo and his group wandered around the mountain and killed some servants before returning to complete the mission.
The command center is located on the mountain. Standing here, one can see the magic formation advancing in the distance, fire fists being swung out one after another, and the carpet of fire being spread densely. Even if those mountain elves are generals, they can only rely on the changes of trees and plants to resist.
What really hindered the military wizard's progress were the mountain spirits attached to the plant-type monsters, which were simply a device to amplify the plant's abilities. They made the plants grow and change instantly, and launched a series of attacks while the military wizard was casting spells.
Some of them also knew how to cooperate and form a plant formation. Vines flew, thorns turned into chains, and instantly smashed a mage's formation to pieces.
Fortunately, there is no mountain elves to lead them, otherwise if they were really forced to form coordination and positions, I don’t know how many people would be sacrificed.
And further away, the light of the constellations was shining, and the high-level wizard teachers from several schools and the army of wizards were working together to deal with the two commander-level demons.
It is they who have been protecting the mountain elves, which has enabled these warrior tribes to continue to grow stronger.
They were two lone demons. The mountain spirits provided them with an endless supply of human blood, and they provided shelter for the mountain spirits.
One of these two commanding demons is a ghost-faced demon tree. On its thick trunk that is as big as a skyscraper, the twisted purple-black wood grain outlines a terrifying and hideous ghost face.
The ghost face is huge, and you need to stand far away to see it clearly. If someone lies on its trunk to study its texture, they will only think that it is a series of peculiar wood grains.
Its leaves were all the color of refined iron, and each leaf spread out into countless flying knives, forming a storm of flying knives that even a high-level Shuihua Sky Curtain could not block. And these flying knives combined together formed a thick shield.
Neither the ice coffin nor the rain of fire could really hurt this giant ghost-faced demon tree.
Perhaps it is precisely because this ghost-faced demon tree is a plant that it chooses to cooperate with the mountain elves and protect them.
Another leader-level demon was a giant elephant demon, but unlike other elephant demons, it was covered with green vines, and had a rock armor on its back that looked like a layer of soil, and on the rock armor there were clumps of grass and even trees!
If it just stood there motionless, people would probably think it was just a slightly steep hill.
And this is the origin of its name, Rock Mountain Elephant.
No one knew when the battle started, but it was at a stalemate for a while. Bai Mo was watching the battle with classmates from Mingzhu Academy and people from the Imperial Capital Academy.
"Oh my god, why is Mu Zilin there!"
Jiang Shaoxu's scream attracted everyone's attention. Not far away from where the mountain elves and the military wizards were fighting, there was a vast and desolate open space bombed by magic.
Mu Zilin stood there.
There could be mountain spirits attacking or magic stirring at any time, why would she stand there! ?
She held a pot of flowers in her hand. The flowers looked a bit like Su grass, but they were red. The red flowers emitted red mist, which looked like large pieces of red clouds and floated directly towards the Ghost-faced Demon Tree that was fighting.
Everyone was a little confused. How could she participate in a commander-level battle? What effect could such a small flower have on the huge Ghost-Faced Demon Tree?
However, the red cloud seemed to carry an extraordinary poison. Some trees were only slightly contaminated by it, and the mountain elves inside them all withered and died in an instant, as if wiped by an eraser, and turned into ashes and disappeared.
What a horrifying scene it was! That large forest would require at least several high-level Sky Flame Funerals to completely destroy it, but it was all turned into dust after being touched by just a little bit of the red mist emitted by the pot of flowers in Mu Zilin's hand.
If Mu Zilin holding it accidentally got even a little bit of it on him, he would be turned into ashes in an instant! There was no need to bury him.
Faced with the incoming red mist, all the human wizards dodged in advance. The Ghost-Faced Demon Tree also seemed to be extremely afraid of the red mist, constantly driving it away with its iron-like leaves.
However, the mist just condensed and did not disperse no matter how it was driven away. Even the horrible poison corroded its leaves completely, and spread towards its trunk along the connections between the branches and leaves.
It can be seen that where the red clouds passed, the leaves of the Ghost-Faced Demon Trees all withered, and the branches were rotten beyond recognition, like wood that had rotted in water for decades.
Only the main trunk still shone with the dark luster of the Ghost Face Demon Tree, but the hideous ghost face on the trunk was also twisting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After doing all this, the red cloud seemed to have exhausted its energy, and the red Su grass in Mu Zilin's hand gradually withered.
"This is amazing." Mei Qian exclaimed.
"What is that?" Zu Jiming stared closely at the potted plant in Mu Zilin's hand. He had never seen this kind of poison before.
"That plant doesn't seem to be a real plant, but just a part of a plant-type monster." Jiang Yu also looked at the potted plant. He remembered the legend that there was a guardian beast in Chuncheng.
“Swish, swish, swish!!!”
The Ghost Face Demon Tree seemed extremely angry. Its useless branches swayed and collided with each other, making sharp noises. It seemed that it was going to cause trouble for Mu Zilin, but unfortunately, it was surrounded by high-level wizards who wanted to kill it, so it could not do whatever it wanted.
However, it still has a large group of mountain elves, and no one knows how it communicates with the mountain elves. I saw a group of mountain elves leaving the woods and running towards where Mu Zilin was.
The human wizard naturally saw this scene and could only use magic to attack from a distance. However, the long distance made it easy for the mountain elves to dodge.
Mu Zilin also summoned a Fiery Winged Pseudo-Dragon and flew towards the military camp command center.
However, there was a mountain elf that was very fast and seemed to have the attribute of wind. In a flash, it arrived in front of the Fiery-Winged Pseudo-Dragon that had just spread its wings. The entire mountain elf, except for its torso, turned into countless thick vines, which tied up the Fiery-Winged Pseudo-Dragon tightly, causing the beast and the man to fall to the ground.
The flames blazed from the body of the Fierce Wing Pseudo-Dragon, and its muscles swelled, trying to break the vines. But it seemed that the vines made of the mountain spirit's own flesh and blood were much tougher than ordinary vines. With the flames and strength of the Fierce Wing Pseudo-Dragon, it could not break free for a while.
Mu Zilin glanced at the mountain spirit chasing after him, and with a sharp look in his eyes, he summoned the blue and white frog spirit.
Command center.
"What! You want us to go rescue Mu Zilin!"
Zu Jiming exclaimed, not a single stroke of his expression showing willingness.
"This mission is voluntary. One of our scout captains will lead you."
The messenger's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke again in a calm tone.
"One of your scout captains is just a mid-level mage, you sound so powerful." Zu Jiming curled his lips and pointed at the mountain elf that was rushing towards Mu Zilin.
"Twenty warriors, are you willing? Are you willing to die? Anyway, it's not me who caused the hatred, so don't blame me. Whoever wants to go can go by himself, I'm not going anyway."
Bai Mo walked down silently, and a faint voice remained, "Mingzhu Academy, those who are willing to leave, follow me."
So all the members of the Pearl Academy followed. Lu Yilin thought about it and decided not to go together. He was very smart. He would obey the arrangement for the mandatory task and would never give others a chance to find fault. As for the voluntary ones, he would definitely not go with Bai Mo.
"What's wrong with Mingzhu Academy? I have connections in the capital, too." Jiang Yu glanced at the others, glanced at Zu Jiming and Lu Yilin with disdain, and walked downstairs.
"Wait!" Jiang Shaoxu called him and followed him. "You alone can't represent our imperial capital, I can."
Guan Yu thought about it and felt that it was not very dangerous. With his speed, he could easily escape. Moreover, Instructor Ai Xia knew about this matter. He was well-informed and knew that the performance in the training was related to an important quota in the future, so he followed.
On the way, Bai Mo and the reconnaissance mage laid out the wind track for everyone, and the group soon arrived at the place where Mu Zilin was surrounded.
At this moment, Mu Zilin's three great generals were all summoned out. The Black Water Turtle protected her very well. The flames of the Fiery Winged Pseudo-Dragon fanned out, and a large wall of fire spread out, which could effectively block the attacks of the mountain elves' rattan spears and wooden swords.
The blue and white frog demon also manipulated vines to block attacks one by one, and could only use its body to block those it couldn't block.
But the twenty warriors were constantly attacking, and they couldn't resist all of the attacks which were too intensive.
Therefore, both the Blue and White Frog Spirit and the Fiery Winged Pseudo-Dragon were covered with scars at this moment, and one of the Fiery Winged Pseudo-Dragon's wings even had a big hole in it.
The Black Water Turtle's occasional water cannon fire could instantly disperse the mountain elves' well-organized attack formation, preventing them from forming a more dense and compact attack that was difficult to defend against, giving the Fiery Winged Pseudo-Dragon and the Blue and White Frog Elves some breathing space.
The captain of the reconnaissance team did not stay here, but went to lure out several mountain elves coming from the other side and lead them somewhere else.
"crack!"
Bai Mo led everyone and waved his hands. A surging wind surged, rolling up two huge clouds of dust that rolled to both sides, turning into two circles of violent hurricanes, like a pair of giant storm hands, tearing apart the mountain spirits blocking everyone's way, forming a passage for everyone to meet Mu Zilin.
After entering the encirclement of the mountain spirits, a dazzling holy healing light immediately bloomed from Zhang Yuan's hands, and a healing butterfly fluttered towards the injured summoned beast.
An invisible aura immediately surged from Jiang Shaoxu's body. The crystal starlight merged into invisible ripples, and the surging power aroused endless fear.
It's just that Jiang Shaoxu's spiritual realm was not high, and he couldn't support planting the seeds of fear in twenty warriors at once. Therefore, the seeds of fear only affected some nearby mountain elves.
Everyone saw that the mountain spirits around them all had horrified expressions, as if they had seen some terrifying creatures, and they were trembling all over and unable to move.
This is a good opportunity for them to take action.
The Night Rakshasa on Jiang Yu's shoulder immediately transformed into a shadow killer. Whenever his illusory and agile figure passed by a mountain spirit, he would use his claws to take out a still-beating bright heart, and then destroy it with his dark power.
A purple-blue thunderbolt turned into a devil's claw in mid-air and landed heavily on the heads of the five mountain elves. The five mountain elves were suddenly split into pieces.
A deep lake suddenly appeared above Zhou Tianyuan's head. The waves like waves crashing against the shore swept up the five mountain spirits and pushed them all away.
The wind disk that happened to rush up there swept all the mountain elves who had not yet stood firm from the rolling waves into the strong wind. The wind blades cut, swirled, and tore them, and then threw them into the sky while they were dying, and then smashed them heavily to the ground.
The remaining mountain elves could not escape either, because Bai Mo, possessed by the wind spirit, had already attracted all the wind elements around him and rolled up a huge wind disk.
They stood in the center of the storm, and the high-speed rotating wind wall shattered all the attacks of the mountain elves. The powerful suction did not give them any chance at all, and directly swept the remaining nine mountain elves into the violent hurricane.
The whistling sound of the wind was extremely dull, like thunder, and everyone could only see a bloody blur from time to time in the bluish-white turbid storm. They could imagine a mountain spirit being cut into pieces by countless sharp wind blades.
The storm gradually subsided, and Bai Mo and his team reappeared, with the injured reconnaissance captain in front of them.
The bearded captain saw the mountain elves disappearing around him and the people inside who were safe and sound, and silently gave a thumbs up.
He paved the wind channel and led everyone back to the command center. A short break came, but the war was far from over.
"Thank you, everyone. The Chuncheng Mu family welcomes everyone to visit."
Just as they were about to go back to rest, everyone heard Mu Zilin's words. Some nodded, some shook their heads, but no one spoke.
"You brought the branches and leaves of the Ting God, which helped us greatly reduce the cost and casualties of the battle. I should save you."
A deep and steady voice suddenly sounded, and everyone saw a man in officer's clothes gradually revealing himself in the shadow of the air.
"Dealing with more than 20 mountain goblins is no small matter. I originally just wanted these students to cover for me while I actually brought you out. I didn't expect that they would actually deal with the mountain goblins."
