Giant tree trunks were everywhere, so Luo Fan and his companions moved slowly and had to be careful of the small insects on the trunks.
Buzz~ Not long after entering, many palm-sized mosquitoes scurried out, fleeing in panic under the pressure of Xuanwu.
Various insects clung to the withered tree trunk, oblivious to the approach of the Black Tortoise.
"That's a centipede! Its sap is an excellent alchemical ingredient!" Ellie and her group hid inside Xuanwu's shield, watching all sorts of magical beasts.
Suddenly, something sprang out from the ground, jumped onto the tree trunk, bit the arm-thick centipede, and stuffed it into its mouth.
Its small eyes glanced at the crowd again before disappearing in an instant.
"What a huge chameleon! Level 48! This thing is highly venomous, a master of ambush, and can even spray poison!" Toria warned, alerting the others.
Xuanwu carefully crawled through the area, and no monsters attacked it.
However, in Luo Fan's perception, the surroundings were densely packed with magical beasts, and there were even larger ones hidden underground nearby.
If you set this on fire, the scene would be absolutely spectacular.
However, there seem to be traces of spatial elements splitting the broken tree trunks.
Could it also be the effect of spatial oscillation?
Seeing that there was still a large forest of giant trees ahead, Luo Fan decided to go and study it.
The clones helped the girls collect a lot of small magical beasts and plants, but no particularly stubborn magical beasts attacked.
As they ventured deeper into the area, they collected many materials rarely seen elsewhere, and also obtained a considerable amount of blood from various magical beasts.
However, Luo Fan himself disliked these mixed attributes. He was a hundred times unwilling to devour those colorful insects.
It looks disgusting, how could anyone swallow it? Besides, most of these things are poisonous, what if I get a stomachache!
"Brother Fan, there seem to be fewer monsters ahead!" Despite the dark and cold environment, Xiaoxue did not feel uncomfortable.
In the area ahead, many vines stretched along the tree trunks, and many of the branches were also intertwined, some even swaying in all directions.
The ground is covered with a dense network of intersecting tree roots, but they don't seem to be extending in this direction.
"These plants have all designated their own territories, so I doubt those insects would dare to crawl over them!"
As she spoke, Toria threw a piece of dead wood next to her. As soon as it touched the vines, the branch was completely entangled and twisted into pieces.
Of all the people in their group, she was the most experienced.
"Those are tree spirits and symbiotic demonic vines; they're incredibly destructive. Luo Fan, should we retreat?"
"It's too late, they've already spotted us!" Luo Fan warned, as the vines stretched wildly toward them, and even the tree roots below rushed towards them.
"Big turtle, in their eyes you're probably just a huge lump of nutrients!"
After saying that, Luo Fan took out several Tier 4 fire-element scrolls, tore them open, and threw them over fiercely.
"Luo Fan, why don't we go back the way we came?" Ellie suggested, holding up her staff.
"It's too late! The big guys below us have been alerted too! Big tortoise, charge! I don't believe you're afraid of fire!"
Luo Fan shouted, and at the same time threw several Tier 4 Wind Blade Scrolls behind him, which swept across the area.
A gigantic, toad-like monster crawled out from nowhere, emanating a foul odor and croaking loudly. Accompanying it were several wind-elemental mutated air cannons, tinged with a deep green color, which charged straight towards them.
"Get out of the way!" Luo Fan warned, directing Xuanwu to dodge and having the tortoise set up an earthen wall in front of them.
boom!
The earthen wall was corroded, creating a large hole. The green cannon, undeterred, hurtled straight towards the spot where Xuanwu had been, and struck the grove of tree spirits ahead.
Countless vines withered, but even more tree roots extended out, blocking the transmission of poisonous gas.
The fire that had just started was extinguished by the tree spirit, and there was no sign of it starting to burn again.
The forest of tree spirits began to move, with vines extending from countless tree roots towards them. Xuanwu, who had just rushed in, was quickly surrounded by the tree roots.
Most of the tree roots actually rushed towards the toad that was over ten meters tall.
"Wow, it's a monster war! Physical attacks on one side, magical poison attacks on the other. I know which way to run." Luo Fan distributed some more of his stockpiled scrolls to the girl next to him, directing Xuanwu to move forward with difficulty.
Staying where you are will only subject you to greater attacks.
"That was a Sky-Swallowing Poison Frog, its venom is extremely potent. But as long as you don't provoke it, it generally won't attack on its own!" Toria explained as she smashed the nearby tree roots.
Even the three idiots realized the danger and kept spewing out wind blades.
Sure enough, before they could run very far, a large area behind them was shrouded in green poisonous fog.
"Are those tree demons very aggressive?" Luo Fan watched the battle between the two forces, and it was clear that the toad had the upper hand. The poisonous mist it produced could even corrode tightly wrapped tree roots.
"Yeah, I get agitated at the slightest provocation!" Toria said, sounding a little embarrassed.
She was indeed partly responsible for what happened earlier. As for Luo Fan, he was at most an accomplice who greatly exacerbated the conflict.
The toxins spread with the wind, and even Xuanwu's shield showed signs of corrosion.
"Quickly spray water! If we want to escape, we must stop the spread of the toxin."
As Xuanwu struggled to break free from the entanglement of the tree roots, the snake head realized what was happening and began to gather magical power.
Soon, countless raindrops sprayed out, and then the poisonous fog was washed away. Even the ground was tinged with a faint green.
The deadly poison, aided by the water's force, relentlessly ravaged the underground root system. The tree demon's momentum actually slowed down, and many roots even retracted, no longer provoking the giant toad.
"Afraid of poison?" Thinking of his several bottles of highly toxic substances, Luo Fan was reluctant to part with them. In the end, he took out one bottle, prepared a large pool of poisonous liquid, and directed Xuanwu to splash it towards the area of the tree demon.
Sure enough, it had some effect; the force of those giant roots binding him eased somewhat. Xuanwu freed himself and crawled forward with all his might.
The tree spirit, having been attacked, withdrew its offensive and began to focus all its efforts on annihilating the enemies on its own territory.
"Damn it, these plants are so annoying, and they're not even afraid of fire!" Xuanwu's movements became slower and slower, and the protective earthen shield was also entangled by various branches.
"This won't do, the shield won't hold for long!" Toria shouted.
"Luo Fan, what should we do?" Daisy asked anxiously.
"Toria, don't tree spirits have any weaknesses? Where are their magic cores?" Seeing the vines constantly extending towards him, Luo Fan had already sent his clone down.
In any case, that kind of strangulation force posed little threat to his slippery little body.
"Its magic core should be hidden in the soil below!"
"Soil? How long can your Xuanwu hold out? Can you at least clear away all the soil around here?"
"It has to focus all its efforts on maintaining the shield now. Wood-type plants are more effective against earth-type plants, so it can't be distracted by anything else!"
"Then, I'll go down and check first. The rest of you, focus all your strength on defense and hold on for a few more minutes!"
After saying that, Luo Fan, carrying the country bumpkin, rushed down.
