Chapter 0196: Jungle Turmoil

A small expedition of five people trekked through the jungle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info天籁novel.23txt.

This is a powerful expedition, which can be seen from the composition of their team.

A powerful warrior with incredible brute strength was in charge of clearing the way ahead, using his sword to carve a narrow path through the dense bush between the trees. The warrior was followed by a lanky thief, a dripping rat who watched the shadows and mottled shadows of the surrounding trees, with a cautious look.

In addition to this, there was also a bow drawer, an archer with a full face on guard, and two powerful knights who had taken off their heavy knightly armor and wore only a piece of chain mail.

Reckless jungle, lush forest.

Diving headlong into it, the eyes are full of thick and light green, and it is difficult to see any other colors.

The knotted roots of the ancient trees, the tenacious vines that are entwined, and the long bushes and grasses, plus the many wild flowers and grasses that cannot be named, are enough to fill the tall old trees tightly. Wanting to travel through such a primeval jungle is undoubtedly an extremely painful thing for unprepared travelers.

Babbling streams, mountain streams that are neither high nor low, lush valleys...... The common scenes in these mountains and forests, placed in the plains, may only take half an hour to traverse, but in such high and dense forests, each of them takes them an hour or two to trek through with difficulty.

Warriors, thieves, and archers are all good at fighting in the Greenland forests all year round, so they don't care about the difficulties that lie ahead. However, the two lawbreakers who followed closely behind them, once they left the magic horse, it was difficult for them to adapt to this kind of pain of trekking through mountains and rivers.

They had only gone deeper into the mountains and forests for less than seven miles, and the two law-breaking knights were already tired and sweating profusely, and they only felt that the simple chain mail on their bodies was as heavy as a mountain.

But even so, none of the two lawbreakers cried out that they were tired, and no one took the initiative to take a break. They gritted their teeth and held on, following behind the three adventurers step by step, exploring the mountains and forests in front of them little by little.

After reaching the base of a small cliff, the team finally stopped to rest.

The two lawbreakers painfully moved their heavy bodies to the side of the gurgling mountain stream, and drank the cold mountain stream water happily. They did the same with the brute force warrior who led the team.

If it weren't for his overcoming of obstacles along the way, it would have been impossible for these two lawbreakers who usually like to wrap themselves in iron cans.

The archer, a middle-aged man with thin and thin lips and piercing eyes, did not rush to the stream to drink like his companions, but leaned against a tall old tree at the bottom of the cliff, looking around with a wary face, listening to the movements in the jungle from time to time.

The slightest strange sound would cause him to hold his bow and wait, and if he felt anything wrong, the sharp arrows on the bowstring would shoot out at the first moment.

The thief, on the other hand, was a quick man, and climbed up to the top of the cliff while everyone was resting, and looked around, occasionally leaning down and gesturing with the archers in sign language.

"How's it going, does Jack have anything?" asked a spellbreaker after he had his fill.

Jack was the name of the thief.

The archer shook his head palely, "Nothing! I've been wandering in the Greenland forest for five years, and I've never seen such a quiet jungle, so quiet that I can't find even a small animal!

The slightly younger Spellbreaker said in a deep voice with a resolute face, "You can't turn back. We have hired you here to find out where the lair of the wicked is, so none of us can turn back until we have gained it! So let's give up boring thoughts and think more about how to complete the task safely!"

The older Magic-Breaker took out an old leather scroll map from his bosom and carefully marked his location on it. As can be seen from the winding road map above, the mountain forest road they need to explore is still a long, long way.

The brute force warrior shrugged his shoulders when he heard the words of the lawbreaker, revealing a helpless expression. The archer's face showed a distressed expression, and his expression became trance-like.

However, just when he was stunned, a rattan hanging from the tall ancient tree he leaned on automatically rose up strangely without wind. Silently, the rattan that was about to hang to the ground coiled up like a snake and slowly raised its tentacles.

The tip of the rattan cracked abruptly, revealing a beastly set of fangs and teeth.

Just as the rattan slowly wriggled, and the sharp teeth at the front were almost touching the neck of the archer Gou, the thief on the top of the cliff leaped down, and the flying knife in his hand scraped past the archer's ear with a piercing scream, right in front of the tentacle of the rattan.

There was a crisp sound of gold and iron, and the archer's body trembled violently, and he didn't look back, and rolled forward directly.

Not only did the rattan slashed by the flying knife not break and break, but it even made a metallic sound similar to that of a sword colliding. Blocked by the throwing knife, the rattan that pounced did not bite the archer neck, and the fangs and teeth collided together, making a strange clattering sound.

Obviously knowing that he had been exposed, there was a squeaky noise from the body of the wrinkled ancient tree rooted at the bottom of the cliff, and the whole body actually pulled out the fine and vigorous roots from the ground, twisted into lower limbs like human legs, and slowly pressed towards several people.

And on its body, the dozen or so rattans hanging down were waving all over the sky, and at the end were sharp mouths, making all kinds of terrifying and terrifying biting sounds.

"Damn it...... What kind of monster is this!" roared loudly, and the brute warrior rushed forward with his great sword in hand.

As a small team of adventurers, he could only do such dangerous tasks as charging into battle, and his two companions could not withstand such a strange and powerful monster. As for the two Knights, as employers, they have the right to remain neutral until the adventurers fail.

The archer quickly distanced himself from the tree-like monster, and the bowstring in his hand continued to explode, and sharp arrows shot at the enemy like a line. Since it was the first time he had seen a monster of this appearance, he could only attack the enemy's thick trunk when he could not identify the enemy's vital point.

The thief was clearly in the same mind as him, and the poison-quenching knife in his hand was also desperately beckoning to the thick body of the enemy.

It's a pity that most of the attacks of the two were smashed by the wildly wielding rattan snakes, and even if the occasional bow and arrow and throwing knife stuck in the ancient tree, it could not have any effect on it.

Apparently this terrifying monster is not afraid of the attacks of small sharp weapons!

The brute force warrior slashed around the ancient tree a few times, chopping the wrinkled and tough bark of its body into a cloud of sawdust and splashing green juice. But before he could inflict more damage on him, a thick tendrel rolled up close to the ground wrapped around his legs, dragging him to the ground.

The ancient tree squirmed its forked "legs" and slowly moved towards the brute force warriors, and the rattan snake touches hanging from the canopy kept opening and closing, as if they were going to devour the warriors alive.

The two lawbreakers glanced at each other, nodded knowingly, and instantly activated the rune armament on their bodies. A translucent energy shield popped out from the small hand shield tied to the forearm of the left hand, and a wisp of elemental flame on the rune sword in the right hand began to flicker and gradually spread over the entire blade.

Energy shield and flaming sword.

The two Spellbreaker Knights are also very experienced, and for this thick-skinned plant-like monster, Flame is undoubtedly their biggest nemesis.

A magic-breaking knight strode forward, the flame sword in his hand slashed vigorously, and the flame blade that came out of his body burned a half-moon-shaped scorch mark in the air, slashing past the bundle of tendrils that bound the brute force warriors of the ancient tree.

The roots snapped in response, and sticky green juice splattered everywhere.

The ancient tree-like monster's body trembled in pain, and all the rattan snake touches moved to the front of the torso, biting towards the two magic-breaking knights.

I have to say that the Spellbreaker Knight, armed with runes, is simply the natural enemy of all monsters!

The Attributeless Energy Shield can block almost all spells except curses and penetrating sorcery, and it also has good defense against physical attacks. This fully guarantees the safety of the lawbreaker itself. Then, with the physical and flame dual attribute damage of the flame sword in his hand, he can inflict immeasurable and terrible damage on the enemy.

This ancient tree with primitive bark armor, if it was handed over to adventurers to deal with, it would be difficult to kill it without paying seven or eight casualties. But now, with the powerful defense and attack capabilities of the law-breaking knights, they only set the ancient tree on fire at the cost of a brute force warrior with minor injuries.

Yes, when the Magic-Breaker cut a deep hole in the ancient tree's body and ignited the green sap with the flames, the entire ancient tree hissed like a human, and fell into the fire in agony.

Being able to successfully destroy such a powerful monster, the three-person adventure team was naturally very happy.

But just as they were happily about to scavenge for some loot from the burning remains of the ancient tree, the two Magic-Breaking Knights shouted in a deep voice: "Come back quickly! Get ready, the real enemy is coming soon!"

The three-member adventure team was shocked when they heard this.

This...... Such a powerful monster is not even the main force of the enemy?

Just as they were in doubt, the tsunami-like flapping of wings suddenly came from the nearby mountains and forests.

Immediately, a large black shadow swarmed out from all over the mountain forest, squeaking monsters and rushing towards them frantically.

"The bats are the ...... of the bats"

In the next second, their shouts were drowned out by a flood of vampire bats!
