Chapter 374 373. Protect our elves
"Let me go! Let me go!"
In the potion shop, the elf Riel was tightly wrapped around the ankles by a tree branch that suddenly came alive. He was hanging upside down in the air, struggling in panic.
In a hurry, she grabbed the silver spoon at hand, scooped up a pool of half-solidified potion from the still faintly glowing crucible, and poured it towards the branches that were entangled with her!
The branches broke with a sound of corrosion.
Riel fell face first to the ground with a thud, blood gushing out of her nose. The splattered potion also landed on her calf, burning a red mark.
Poor Riel had no idea what was going on.
She sobbed and tried to crawl to the cabinet to find a healing potion, but was horrified to find two more twisted branches emerging from the room, slowly approaching her!
She turned around and tried to escape from the shop, but found that the door was also blocked by new branches.
In fact, the entire potion shop was built on the branches of the giant tree, and it is now gradually coming alive!
The scope of tree activation goes far beyond the Shenmu Dungeon.
Lin Jun, who has a global vision, knows best that this change radiates outward from the dungeon, has affected most of Isildolin, and the scope is still expanding!
However, distance does seem to have some effect.
The giant trees in the dungeon were the most violent. They not only attacked Puji and other monsters, but even uprooted themselves, moved around, and destroyed large areas of fungal carpets.
Fortunately, Lin Jun had built a huge and deep underground network in advance, which barely preserved the vision inside the underground city.
Meanwhile, in the elves' tree city, only some small branches of the giant trees have been activated for the time being.
The thicker branches showed only slight movement, far from being uprooted and running around, but it was unknown whether these would continue to change over time.
Inside the store, Riel was forced to the corner of the counter. He grabbed the potion bottle at hand and smashed it at the approaching branches.
It has to be said that these potions did work, allowing Riel, who had no fighting ability at all, to barely repel two or three branches.
"Help! Is anyone there? Help me!" Riel cried out for help in a crying voice, hoping that the elves nearby could hear him.
However, once her voice left the shop, it was quickly drowned out by the chaotic noise.
All the trees around her came alive, and she wasn't the only one in danger.
Even if someone heard it, they might not be able to lend a helping hand at this moment. After all, not every elf is a well-trained warrior.
However, a branch came from right above Riel, strangled her neck and hung the elf up.
Riel grabbed the branch around his neck but couldn't pull it free.
The branches around his neck tightened more and more, Rui'er's breathing became intermittent, and his little face turned red due to lack of oxygen.
To make matters worse, other branches coiled around her like snakes, strangling her limbs.
"grandfather……"
Her consciousness gradually blurred, and saliva mixed with tears flowed uncontrollably. Just when she was about to lose consciousness completely...
Bang——!
The window was knocked away, and a round figure rushed into Riel's blurred vision.
It’s Puji!
Although it got stuck on the window frame again, this time, Lin Jun didn't care about any property loss.
Puji's body shrank and expanded, and a row of sharp blades with cold light popped out from his body in an instant!
Then a [Blade Storm] shattered the window and several nearby branches, sending wood chips flying everywhere, even hitting Riel's forehead.
【Assault Ejection LV8】
With just two jumps, Puji rushed in front of Riel.
The knife flashed, and all the branches wrapped around her were cut off!
Riel fell to the ground with a thud, holding his neck and coughing violently.
"Big... Big Mogu?" Looking at the murderous creature covered in sharp blades, Riel was a little hesitant to confirm.
Puji's body moved again, and the sharp blades retracted into his body in unison.
After changing back to his familiar appearance, Riel finally confirmed it.
The surviving Rui'er rushed over sobbing and hugged Puji.
At this time, her face was covered with blood from her nose, tears and saliva, and her appearance was halved.
But this time Puji didn't push her away and let her cry in his arms for a while.
Lin Jun was a little embarrassed because he had promised to protect his elf pet, but ended up almost letting someone else get hanged.
But I can’t blame myself for this!
I was so cautious that I sent Puji to patrol the area and check the interface for suspicious individuals, but who knew the enemy would spawn right back home?!
However, judging from the result, Riel didn’t die and didn’t lose any limbs, so it’s not a big problem!
He controlled Puji to interrupt the sobbing elf. More branches around were activating, and if he didn't leave now, it would be even more troublesome.
Puji cut off a few attacking branches with great effort and rushed out of the pharmacy with Riel.
It was not until then that Riel saw the tragic scene outside.
There were several elves hanging on the tree opposite, some were motionless, some were still struggling, and among them there was even a face she recognized!
On the platform, the elves were running around, and some took up weapons to fight against the branches.
From time to time, screams of falling people could be heard in the distance, but the sound disappeared in an instant.
Most of the elves in the city are civilians. Although there are rangers and druids trying their best to rescue them, they are simply overwhelmed!
Riel was still in a daze, but Puji didn't hesitate at all.
It jumped onto her head, fixed its position with its two short legs, wrapped its mycelial tentacles around her arms, and flapped its small wings on its back vigorously, slowly carrying her off the ground!
Fortunately, Riel was small in size, and although the flying speed was not fast, Puji was able to barely carry her off the ground.
The destination is an open space not far below. There are not many trees there, and there is fungal mat, so it is relatively safe.
Suddenly lifted off the ground, Ruier was so frightened that she couldn't move. She watched helplessly as a familiar neighbor, not far away, desperately fled among the branches. She wanted to do something but was powerless, and could only let Puji carry her further and further away.
Lin Jun doesn't care about the life or death of the strange elf now.
If it happened under normal circumstances, and it was done conveniently and inconspicuously, he wouldn't mind helping out. After all, he had a pretty good overall impression of the elves.
But it's obviously not going smoothly now, and protecting little Riel is the first priority.
After safely delivering Riel to the fungal mat clearing, several cannon fodder Pujis who were responsible for blocking the knife and self-destructing immediately surrounded her, forming a protective circle around her.
This is both a protection and a way to prevent her from running around and causing trouble.
This sudden riot will obviously not subside soon.
Lin Jun did try to let Puji cast a purification spell on the sacred tree, but the effect... couldn't be said to be immediate, it could only be said to be better than nothing, and it was a pure waste of magic power.
On the other side, Ellawen was a completely different scene.
Although she is socially anxious and often out of touch, Ellaven's strength is truly gold level.
At this moment, she was riding on the broad back of the Earth Bear Douding, holding a furry ball in her arms, followed by the Shadow Swamp Python Bubble, and a chubby blue bird Feifei was perched above her head.
This group of humans and animals formed a unique rescue team. They shuttled back and forth in the bottom of the forest and had successfully rescued many elves!
Lin Jun's scout Puji has been following quietly from a distance, but judging by the current situation, there is no need to worry about her safety for the time being.
…
On the towering terrace of the Elf King's City, two figures were silently overlooking the city in chaos.
Down below, the guards of the royal city have been urgently mobilized and are rushing to various locations to provide rescue.
Ilos took a step forward and spoke in a grave voice, "Your Majesty, Isildolin was suddenly attacked. The ranger troops in the dungeon have temporarily lost contact, and Echo and others are trapped in an alien dimension. It now appears that the sacred tree has completely lost control. If we allow this to continue, I'm afraid we will suffer a great loss of vitality..."
Elf King Auriel turned around and looked at the chief wizard who had been with him for hundreds of years. "What do you mean...?"
"We must use the divine weapon!" Ilos' tone was solemn and resolute, but there was no trace of worry on his lowered face, only calmness.
