A day later, Ye Xi and the others successfully cleared the three mountain peaks and obtained a large number of magic crystals and dark treasure chests.
Although the items obtained were not of great use, they could still be sold as resources, and were also part of Ye Chen and his group's resources after leaving the trial space.
Meanwhile, the Black Birds had finally rested and regained their energy, following Michael as they flew deeper into the mountains.
Ye Xi and Tai Shan were also traveling with them, while Ye Ling was temporarily in charge of coordinating the battle.
To kill a level 6 Dark Demon Tree, you need top-tier combat power; ordinary warriors are basically useless.
"Can your thing really work on Tier 6 units?" Ye Chen asked the fat man uncertainly in the projection.
"Well? Anyway, Tier 5 units can definitely cause huge damage, but as for Tier 6, there's no chance to even try!" The fat man smacked his lips and said with a helpless expression.
In order to kill the Dark Demon Tree, which is at the sixth level, Ye Chen and his team did not place all their hopes on the Xuan Bird. Instead, they had Fatty use the next two days to develop a few missiles.
These missiles are made from the magic crystals of the fifth-tier Dark Magic Tree. The manufacturing process is extremely complicated and the energy utilization rate is extremely high. Therefore, theoretically, they can damage sixth-tier units, a fact confirmed by Oros.
However, theory is just theory. At best, they only applied it to the fifth-tier magic tree. Although the effect was significant, they were still unsure whether it would work on sixth-tier units.
"It's alright. If it's no use, just kill this fat guy and burn him alive. There's plenty of profit in it anyway!" Si Meng joked nonchalantly, which immediately made the fat man's face turn bitter.
"Alright, stop teasing him. Anyway, whether that missile works or not, at least we can get out of here unscathed, right? With the combined form of the Xuan Bird, plus Michael and Taishan's Tier 5 combat power, it's basically impossible for an immovable Dark Demon Tree to keep them here!" Jian Mengyi patted her best friend and laughed.
“That’s true. A level 6 battle is just for them to practice. It would be best if they could take it down, but it doesn’t matter if they can’t. Consider it as gaining combat experience. Otherwise, I’ll just send Oros!” Ye Chen nodded. Although there would be a lot of good stuff after killing a level 6 Dark Demon Tree, the key is for Ye Xi and the others to gain more combat experience against high-level creatures.
Otherwise, once you leave the trial space, the dark creatures outside won't care if you follow any rules. You might encounter high-level dark creatures as well. You can't just be completely clueless and not know what to do then, can you?
"Chirp~~~" As Michael and the others approached the place where they had encountered the Dark Demon Tree, the chilling cry of the vulture echoed once again from the darkness.
Fortunately, after a round of clearing, the number of Black Feather Vultures was not large this time. The Black Birds led them around to kill them while flying towards the Dark Demon Tree.
"The newly hatched Black Feathered Vultures are of average strength, not very strong, and there aren't many of them. Once the Xuan Birds merge, they can wipe them out with a wave of their hands!" Michael said, looking at the dense flock of vultures behind him. Compared to what they had seen before, what they saw today was nothing!
"Hmm!" Ye Xi nodded. She had never seen the Xuan Birds combine, but since Michael said so, it must be true.
“Roar~~~” At this moment, a series of roars came from the darkness ahead. A huge black shadow blocked the way in front of everyone. The black birds immediately turned around and flew to the other side.
“That’s the 6th-tier Dark Demon Tree King!” Michael said in a deep voice. Compared to this 6th-tier Dark Demon Tree King, the ordinary fourth and fifth-tier demon trees could only be described as short.
Unlike the others, which are only a few dozen meters tall, the Dark Demon Tree King is so tall that it blots out the sky, reaching hundreds of meters in height. Coupled with the no-fly zone in the Dark Origin Land, Michael and the Xuan Birds even lost their air superiority in front of it and could only attack the trunk from the side.
"Be careful and avoid getting entangled in the vines!" As the group approached, the Dark Demon Tree King launched its counterattack, with a large number of vines emerging from the tree canopy or from the depths of the ground, wrapping around Michael and the Black Birds in the sky.
The black birds kept changing course, and even spewed out high-temperature flames from time to time to avoid being entangled by the opponent, while continuing to approach the tree trunk.
At the same time, as the Black Birds' movements were hindered, the Black Feather Vultures behind them also caught up. The Dark Demon Tree King did not attack them, but instead allowed them to fly in his territory, chasing after the Firebirds ahead.
"I'll hold them off!" Taishan roared, leaping off the back of the black bird. In an instant, he seemed to move through the air, seemingly walking on air.
"Boom~~~" At the same time, a fierce wind blew and lightning flashed in the sky. Almost instantly, Taishan was enveloped in lightning and rushed towards the oncoming flock of black-feathered vultures.
"Mount Tai!" Ye Xi's expression shifted slightly as he stared in the direction of Mount Tai, his figure involuntarily following the black birds as they moved away, approaching the main trunk of the Dark Demon Tree.
Both the Silver Leaf Laurel Tree and the Crimson Sun Wutong Tree cover an area of over a thousand acres, and this Dark Demon Tree King is naturally not much weaker. If we don't close the distance first, we will only waste the energy of the Xuan Birds, and the attacks of the group will not be able to truly and effectively damage it.
But the closer they got, the more vines they faced, and the more difficult the journey became.
Most importantly, the Dark Demon Tree King is not afraid of fire like ordinary Dark Demon Trees. Even the high-temperature flames of the Xuan Birds can ignite it, but they cannot burn it to ashes instantly as before. This situation has slowed down the speed at which the Xuan Birds approach. At the same time, facing the overwhelming vines and the wooden spears that appear from time to time, the group is in a precarious situation.
"Watch out!" Michael exclaimed. A vine swept past, and Ye Xi, who was standing on the back of the black bird, lost his balance and fell off.
Just then, vines began to fly everywhere, and for a moment, everyone was powerless to help her. They could only watch helplessly as she fell into the darkness below.
"Ye Xi!" Upon seeing this, not only Mount Tai and the Xuan Birds, but even Ye Chen in the projection instantly stood up. The image in the projection was rapidly falling along with Ye Xi, and was quickly buried by darkness...
