Chapter 425: Destroy the true form of the terrifying tree man?
Boom!
Crystal Shot
Fist-sized sharp crystals shot down from the sky, breaking through the air and slamming into the newly awakened tree man below.
One of the tree men had just stepped out of the ground when it was smashed to pieces by these crystal shotgun shells.
Bang——click!
Broken dark brown wood chips flew everywhere, and fell to the ground with a dull thud.
"Not very strong." Evileye looked down at the tree man below, destroyed by her magic, and made a mental judgment:
"Everyone!"
"The number of these tree people is increasing. The two green-leaf tree people in the center are probably the controllers. I'm going to deal with them first!"
A high-pitched voice came from the sky and fell into the ears of the adventurers below!
Evileye was suspended in mid-air and could clearly see that a large number of dead trees were gradually turning into these strange tree people.
Based on the experience of previous adventurers and analysis of the current intelligence.
Evileye was certain that these strange treemen were probably there to protect the two leafy treemen at the deepest part.
Gagran raised his hammer in a defensive stance and shouted to Evileye above him, "Be careful, little one."
"Then I'll leave that side to you!"
Lakyus, knowing Evileye's strength, nodded in response.
This is not a reckless action!
This time, the expedition against the "unknown plant-type monster" naturally has a plan for failure. With Evileye's strength, it is planned to take the lead in testing it.
whoosh!
Evileye nodded slightly, adjusted her body, and flew towards the location of the two green leaf treemen.
The wind is howling beside me!
The red eyes peeked through the gaps in the mask, and as the distance got closer and closer, he gradually saw the appearance of the two green-leaf tree people.
One big and one small!
There are no similar images of the same race.
The smaller tree man looked like a normal tree, while the larger one had an extremely thick trunk, looking like a completely ferocious monster.
Evileye searched her memories but found no information about similar plant-type monsters.
But this is normal.
Plant-type monsters are not common, and the ones that normal adventurers can encounter are "mushroom people" among plant-type monsters.
This kind of monster is a spore monster in the plant system. It is not very strong, but it is very good at hiding.
It should be said.
Most plant-type monsters are good at hiding.
"Why would the forest in this area be turned into a withered land?" Evileye thought to herself as she quickly approached.
Given the way these plant-type monsters hide in the forest, it is quite difficult to find them. The adventurous ninja expedition team they formed was prepared to spend a lot of time searching.
Who would have thought.
The target was found surprisingly easily. After all, the presence of two normal big trees in this barren area was the biggest abnormality.
It’s actually not difficult to guess!
The land and dense forests are all barren and dead, it is a phenomenon that all the energy and vitality have been drained away!
Ivel's sad red figure streaked across the sky and appeared above the two deciduous treemen, his eyes slightly fixed.
"Being able to draw away such a huge amount of energy is not something an ordinary monster can do!"
"Just in case...use your air superiority to launch a test attack."
A surge of magical power surged through Evileye. She raised her palms, pointed them at the two leafy tree figures below, and chanted:
"Magic Resistance Breakthrough·Dragon Thunder!"
Fire magic attacks are most effective against plant-type monsters, but the fire magic that Evileye possesses is relatively simple and still a low-level magic.
Just choose "Dragon Thunder".
It can also use lightning magic to cause higher damage to plant-type monsters!
Click!
The rushing blue lightning bloomed on Evileye's arms, transforming into a twisted electric snake, and blasted towards the two tree people below.
Detect danger from high altitude!
Pinis, the tree elf, trembled with fear.
She is just an ordinary tree elf, only good at using charm.
"If you get hit, you'll die." The tree spirit Pinis only hoped that the terrifying tree man beside him had a way to resist.
Root Defense
“Roar!”
The terrifying tree man had already noticed that the enemy floating above his head opened its bloody mouth in the center of the trunk and let out a roar like a monster.
Puff! Puff!
Several thick roots emerged from the muddy ground beneath their feet, growing and spreading rapidly, crisscrossing each other to form a grid-shaped defense.
Boom!
The roar of dragon thunder hit the roots' defense.
The part that was hit first immediately turned into a charred state, but the blue electric arc quickly moved underground along a large number of roots to offset it!
"It's blocked."
Evileye frowned slightly, realizing that she might have chosen the wrong magic attack.
"Extreme Tree Species"
Next moment!
The red flowers blooming on top of the terrifying tree man's head all shrank together, and then like a compressed spring, bullet-like seeds shot out from the flower core and shot into the air.
"Crystal Barrier!"
Evileye chanted rapidly, quickly forming a translucent crystal shield in front of her body.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Intensive collision sounds were heard on the crystal shield, leaving behind traces of white destruction.
"It's about the strength of 4th-tier magic."
After a brief trial, Evileye gained a relatively clearer understanding of the terrifying tree man.
However!
If his level is only this, how could he possibly drain the energy from this area? Even those tree people of the same race probably wouldn't be able to do it, right?
Could it be that the strongest one is the ordinary-looking tree man?
Evileye glanced at the tree elf Pinis from the corner of her eye, with a hint of caution and alertness.
"Fireball!"
whoosh!
Evileye chanted again, launching a fireball at the terrifying tree man below.
This time, choose low-level fire magic!
After the initial attack, she determined that lightning magic was not very effective, and the earth-based magic she was best at was not a good means of attack either.
Plant-based monsters all have a certain degree of resistance to earth magic.
The red fireball turned into a stream of light and fell down!
Root Defense
The terrifying tree man still used the previous defensive measures, but this time it was obviously not effective against the fire magic.
Bang!
The fireball exploded on the roots, quickly burning a large hole. The flames from the explosion drifted over the head of the terrifying tree man, igniting several leaves.
"roar!"
"Wow!"
The terrifying tree man let out a chaotic cry, and its roots drilled out from the ground, raising a large amount of dust and extinguishing the burning leaves above its head.
"Extreme Tree Species"
Another series of seed attacks are coming!
Evileye used her aerial advantage to easily dodge and continued with her "Fireball" attack.
Fireballs kept streaking across the sky and exploding when they fell!
Although the Horror Treeman is different from ordinary plant-based monsters and can move freely on the ground with the help of roots, it has no means of flight and normal anti-air capabilities.
Next!
It was a completely one-sided bombing.
After being attacked by dozens of fireballs in succession.
The green leaves on the terrifying tree man's head had already been burned to ashes, and his body fell to the ground, charred like charcoal, completely dead.
“It was easier than I thought.”
"There's still one left. Kill them all and it's over." Evileye was still a little confused, and while thinking, she began to chant:
"Fire...", huh?
suddenly.
Evileye noticed that a naked green elf emerged from the trunk of the tree man.
He fell to his knees, begging for mercy.
"Tree elves?"
Evileye muttered to herself uncertainly. The other person looked very similar to the tree elves she had heard of.
This is not a monster!
It is a relatively rare alien species, and one of the few races that has no malice towards most creatures.
As Evileye began to chant, many doubts surfaced again: why was the tree elf entangled with that plant-type monster?
Why are the terrifying tree people called monsters?
Because in the battle just now, she found that the terrifying tree man did not have the wisdom and language of normal races, and was more like a pure monster!
"Perhaps there is a possibility of disguise..."
This thought occurred to Evileye. She was able to easily defeat the terrifying tree man because she took advantage of the air.
Huh?
The next moment.
Evileye noticed that the state of the tree elf seemed a little abnormal. After a brief thought, the figure moved and flew downwards.
The red figure landed on the ground.
The tree elf Pinis collapsed on the ground, twitching unconsciously, and her body gradually became illusory.
"What's going on?"
Evileye watched the tree elf Pinis's unusual appearance at this moment. A neutral voice, whose gender could not be discerned, emanated from behind her white mask.
"Demon...Tree..."
The tree elf Pinis's consciousness had begun to blur, and she used her remaining strength to utter two words.
The seeds of the previous terrifying tree man are parasitic in her body.
She originally thought that she would be free after the horror tree man was killed, but she didn't expect that with the death of the horror tree man, the seed began to madly absorb her life force.
"Demon Tree?" Evileye was shocked when she heard the word, and wanted to ask more.
"What is that!"
The tree elf Pinis's consciousness began to become blurred, and he could no longer hold on. His body turned into a green light and merged back into the trunk of the tree.
Under Evileye's gaze.
The lush green leaves on this seemingly normal tree are gradually withering.
This situation is not difficult to guess!
Evileye realized that the culprit behind all this was probably the "magic tree" mentioned by the tree elf.
And want to get more information!
We can only find a solution from this tree elf.
"Healing magic should work..."
""flight"!"
Evileye chanted quickly, preparing to return to the expedition and bring back the adventurers who could use healing magic.
There is a better way.
Bringing the tree elves to the adventurers, but...
Evileye knew that the tree elves, as an alien species, could not move normally and required special faith-based magic to transplant them, otherwise they would hurt the other party.
whoosh!
Evileye soared into the sky, speeding up, and he had a vague bad premonition in his heart.
——Unexpected!
Not long after flying out, Evileye saw a subjugation party of adventurers approaching from afar, which surprised her.
The flying movement paused and fell rapidly!
The two sides soon met.
Evileye finally understood how the adventurers had arrived so quickly.
It turned out that all the tree people who were blocking the way suddenly died for some unknown reason!
Everyone exchanged information with each other, and the adventurers were surprised that Evileye was able to deal with the "unknown plant-type monster" alone.
At the same time, he also realized that the sudden death of many tree people was related to Evileye's destruction of the terrifying tree man.
While analyzing the intelligence, the adventurers quickly arrived at the location of the tree elf Pinis.
The desolate and gray earth is covered with desolate clouds.
The only green tree was very conspicuous, but what was even more conspicuous was the other one, which was visibly withered.
"Little one, is this the alien species you were talking about?"
Gagran's square, thick-framed face was full of curiosity, and he and the other adventurers around him kept looking at the tree.
"It's very ordinary." Tina and Tia took a look and commented.
"This is just her true form."
Evileye gave a simple explanation to her companions' confused looks.
The adventurers' discussion room.
Lakyus, who mastered healing magic, and several other priest adventurers came to the real body of the tree elf.
"Low damage healing!"
"Serious injuries healed!"
“……!”
It was enveloped in a soft white holy light.
The withering of the tree elf Pinis's body began to slow down.
"Success!" an exclamation came from the crowd.
"Um, what is the magic tree?"
"I can only ask this tree elf later."
Enri, Gegelan and the others stood together and spoke softly.
"Hmph, our previous analysis was wrong." Tina played with the dagger in her hand and reminded:
"I found many monster corpses at the locations where the intercepting tree people had originally taken root."
"Yeah, that's right."
Tia nodded: "No wonder there aren't any powerful monsters found in the entire forest. They must have become nutrients for those tree people."
Gegelan's sharp eyes were serious. "Combined with the little one's intelligence, we can basically make a conclusion."
"Those tree people should be the split individuals of the tree person that was destroyed by Little One..."
Speaking of this.
Gagran lowered his voice. "Previously, it was speculated that the unknown plant monster controlled the monsters through its seeds, and combined with its spiritual abilities, it caused chaos!"
"Now we've discovered that this isn't the case at all. The plant monster's ultimate goal is to give birth to tree people."
"Ordinary magical beasts and wild beasts cannot give birth to tree people. Only powerful magical beasts can give birth to tree people."
Tia added: "So, once the main body dies, those tree people will also die."
"But now, according to Little Bit's information, that plant monster might not be its true form?"
Enri listened quietly to their analysis, thinking to herself, "How impressive! As expected of everyone from Blue Rose."
