Chapter 143: The Dryad

Sand...... Sand......

The sound seemed to be approaching, and it sounded heavy, and Barrick turned and picked up the bow and broadsword hanging from the stump next to him, if it was a large animal such as a wild boar or a wild bear, it would be enough for the family to eat for three months.

"Is there any movement?"

Ondos seemed to hear some noise, and followed, holding up another broadsword leaning against the stump.

Not far from them, there were more than a dozen tents, all of which were hunters who lived near Maranasso, and went into the forest to hunt in groups, and when they heard movement here, they all came out and looked over here.

"What are these two guys doing?"

"Hmph, what do they want to do when they start packing their tents so early?"

"What can they do...... No, listen, is there any sound?"

"Prey! It must be prey! These two guys, I know they can't be trusted! They want to monopolize their prey!"

Some wise people immediately thought that they had thought of some possibility, and cried out.

Suddenly, the crowd was turbulent, and a large group of people turned back to the tent to get weapons, and some of them immediately took their weapons and chased after Barrick and the others.

By this time, Barrick and Ondos were already not far from the jungle, and when they heard the shouts from behind, they both stopped and turned around...... Seeing the appearance of the hunters, they looked at each other, and they didn't know why.

Barrick...... You...... How can you do this?" exclaimed a middle-aged hunter who was running at the front.

"How am I?" Barrick wondered.

"There is prey, everyone should divide it equally, isn't it okay?" The middle-aged hunter saw that they stopped, his speed slowed down, and his breath was a little even.

"What do you mean?!"

Ondos understood this time, and the expression on his face suddenly twisted, "It's just nonsense, we don't know what it is, so we want to go and see it, even if there is prey, now we are scared away by you......"

At this moment, the middle-aged hunter on the opposite side suddenly showed a look of fear on his face, and raised his hand to point at Barrick and the others: "You guys...... Monster!"

"Are we monsters?" Ondos pointed to his nose, angry.

"No...... right"

Barrick next to him reacted, he turned his head suddenly, a brown shadow swept over the corner of his eye, and he heard Ondos next to him 'uh', and fell backwards, dancing and being dragged into the woods by something.

"Ondos ......"

Barrick could see clearly that something that looked like a plant rhizome was wrapped around Ondos's neck and dragged him into the woods, and Barrick was about to rush down when he felt something wrapped around his calves and pulled him down and into the woods.

At this time, the hunters who were chasing them reacted, and some people still wanted to catch up and rescue the people, but some people immediately turned around and wanted to escape.

Click......

A huge figure squeezed out of the woods, and all the trees that stood in its way were broken.

"Oh my God, it's a dryad!" As soon as the hunters saw the monster, what little courage they had had vanished without a trace.

The dryad is an animated creature formed by energy radiation, and prefers to live in the middle of the forest with a relatively humid climate, and rarely comes to the edge of the forest except for those adventurers who can occasionally see them in the forest all year round.

A dozen brown rhizomes flew out of the ground and entangled six or seven hunters running behind...... Listening to the frightened screams of his companions from time to time behind him, the hunters running in front of him accelerated their escape speed.

After running a long distance, and making sure that they had escaped the terrifying area, several hunters sat down on the ground, exhausted by the rapid running just now, and they no longer had the strength to move forward.

"Huck, are we going to leave Barrick and them like that? if we work together...... Maybe we can defeat the Dryad, after all, there are many of us. One of the young hunters caught his breath and asked the leader of the hunt if he could bring back the others.

"Don't be stupid, the dryad isn't as easy to deal with as you think. Its skin is so tough that ordinary swords are hard to injure, and it requires an alchemist's witchcraft to cut through the skin on the surface of the dryad. ”

Glaring at the young man who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, the old hunter kept drawing with his hands, "Do you know why it is one of the monsters that people in the forest last want to encounter, and not only because of its cruel and disgusting way of eating. The dryad will secrete a very high concentration of strong acid, as long as a little bit of it can melt your clothes and flesh and bones, without more than twenty well-equipped mercenaries, it is absolutely impossible to kill a dryad, and ordinary adventurers are not its opponents. ”

"Why?"

After seeing too many mercenaries and adventurers fighting monsters, many young people in the village are determined to become famous adventurers in the future, but few have thought that there is more than just a gap between themselves and professional adventurers.

"You're stupid, those rhizomes are white, and when you concentrate on one of them, the other rhizomes will attack at the same time. Even real adventurers can't deal with it, so what are we going back to do? It's just suicide. If we can find a mercenary or wizard now, Barrick and they may still be saved, but even if we are willing to pay, where are we going to find it now? Let's go, although it is in the outer area of the Forest of Rest, there are still monsters here, and don't forget that we have no protection. ”

It's not that he doesn't save him when he sees death, but he has a weak heart. The middle-aged hunter currently only wants to bring the rest of the people back to the village alive, there is still some distance from the village, and now they don't have any weapons on them to defend themselves, and they are easily attacked by other monsters, seven or eight hunters without weapons, that is equivalent to seven or eight pieces of meat that can move around quickly, and it is still noon, so they have to hurry back to the village.

"But ......"

"Shh

The young hunter was about to refute, but the middle-aged hunter's sensitive ears soon sensed a slight rustling in the dense forest, which was the characteristic sound of leaves being trampled.
