Chapter 364: Better than the others
Without any intention of reminiscing about the past, Ilos got straight to the point: "I heard you've been stuck here for many days. What's the specific problem you're stuck on now?"
When it came to business, Eco immediately put away his joking expression and his tone became serious:
"It's the plants! Those unfortunate migrating trees have gone crazy! They're wreaking havoc in the area ahead, and they've also driven a large number of monsters living in the trees crazy. Cleaning it up is extremely troublesome, and progress is slow."
"Those above the Hall of Fame level are certainly capable of forcing their way through on their own, but you and I both know the situation on the last two levels. Without sufficient manpower to advance together, it would be too dangerous to rashly go in!"
He wiped the sweat mixed with blood from his face, his tone carrying a hint of fatigue and irritation. "These past few days, I've been chopping wood almost as soon as I open my eyes. I'm almost a professional lumberjack! Ilos, you must have a more efficient way than this, right?"
"I'll try." Ilos did not promise, but Eko was used to his cautious tone. He personally held up the crystal chandelier and led them into the darkness.
The closer you get to the front area, the more obvious the ground vibration becomes.
Salian did not dare to delay, and quickly concentrated his mind and stretched out his hands. Above his palms, a complex and sophisticated spherical magic was quickly constructed.
Increasing the range to its maximum, the magic circle swept across the surroundings, immediately projecting the nearby complex terrain clearly in the form of a three-dimensional image, providing everyone with a perfect view.
Even the captain of the guards walking ahead couldn't help but exclaim in admiration after taking a look: "I remember the surveillance array in the city was set up based on your magic, right? It's really good magic! If only you were born a few hundred years earlier."
Salian was about to say something modest when Puji above his head suddenly patted his face and pointed in a direction.
He looked in the direction of his space detection ball with some confusion, but there was nothing.
I sighed inwardly, thinking that I was a fool for believing Puji: "Don't mess with me..."
Before he could finish his words, two migrating trees appeared on the detection ball!
Salian: “…”
Without time to feel embarrassed, Salian immediately reminded the people around him: "Here it comes!"
After a while, a deafening roar came from the front.
Two giant migratory trees, each a hundred meters tall, were like out-of-control giants, violently wriggling their countless thick roots and crushing everything in their path.
"Don't run around, stay behind me!" Eko reminded loudly, and the two scimitars in his hands instantly lit up with a dazzling emerald green light, with powerful natural energy wrapped around them. He bent his body to gather strength, and was about to rush forward to fight!
However, Ilos had already taken action.
The two migrating trees that were rushing forward violently suddenly staggered, their huge bodies shook violently, and they almost fell to the ground!
The countless wildly dancing roots under their feet were temporarily taken away from their control by Ilos using powerful natural magic without their knowledge. They were entangled with each other tightly, forming a knot that could not be easily untied!
The two trees were trapped in place for a while and could only struggle on the spot.
But the threat from the trees persisted! A sharp hissing echoed as a dozen or so wood-eating monkeys, nestling in the canopy, their eyes flashing with frenzied red light. Using the elasticity of the branches, they suddenly launched themselves out, their sharp claws swooping down on the team!
At the same time, several "thorn pythons" hidden among the branches and leaves opened their huge mouths full of fangs and spewed out dark green venom arrows with a corrosive and foul smell!
"Stop them!" Eko roared, and the sword light rolled up like a whirlwind, instantly chopping the two wood-eating monkeys into pieces.
The other elven wizards behind him also took action immediately, either holding up magic shields to block the venom, or counterattacking with magic such as wind blades and fireballs.
Just as they resisted the first wave of attacks, Puji slapped Salian's face again.
Even though the reconnaissance ball hadn't spotted the target yet, the experienced elf still warned, "Here they come again!"
The ground shook more violently again, and three more migrating trees rushed over from different directions!
Everyone quickly gathered together and protected Ilos in the center.
Ilos remained calm. He followed the same method and manipulated the roots of the new giant trees, making them follow in the footsteps of their companions.
One, two, three... More and more migratory trees were trapped in the same area in this clever way. They collided with each other and connected into one, creating a huge chaos.
When the number of trapped migratory trees reached a certain level, almost filling the area, Ilos knew the time had come.
He took a step forward and slowly raised his hands.
This time, he mobilized a huge amount of magic power. An extremely huge magic spread out in all directions with him as the center, covering all the areas where the giant trees were trapped!
It's a purification spell, and most of the magicians present know it.
But no one can use purification magic with such a huge range and at the same time maintain such powerful effect!
This time, Ilos obviously used his real skills.
The lyrics of the purification movement sang from his mouth, making the purification technique reach its maximum effectiveness and penetrate deep into the huge trunk of the migrating tree.
The violent struggles of the giant trees gradually subsided, and the dark red lines between the trunks gradually faded, replaced by a sense of confusion after exhaustion and a gradually restored calmness.
Their bodies, as huge as mountains, slowly stopped their frantic struggles and finally stood quietly in place, with their twisted roots drooping and their tangled branches and leaves no longer dancing wildly, as if they had just awakened from a long and terrifying nightmare, still feeling a little dazed.
Even the madness contained in the main migration tree was dispelled by this vast purifying power, not to mention the monsters living on it.
The red in their eyes faded, and the violent aura disappeared without a trace, leaving only panic and confusion driven by instinct. They hid back deep in the branches and leaves, no longer posing a threat.
With just a wave of his hand, Ilos solved the problem that had troubled the ranger troops for many days.
At this moment, without the crazy destruction and obstruction of the migrating trees, this area that had been devastated has become a relatively safe area.
Guard Captain Echo glanced around, quickly assessing the situation. He walked over to Ilos, his eyes slightly tired after casting such a large spell, and asked with a hint of concern, "Do you need a break?"
"No need," Ilos looked deeper into the forest. "Purification is not a permanent solution. The migrating trees may be infected again at any time. Let's seize the opportunity and move forward."
…
Under the command of the captain of the guards, the rangers left a group of people to guard the migratory trees, while the main force continued to advance deeper.
And deeper still, they encountered the final obstacle to the center.
Countless small silver-white trees with extremely poisonous properties.
