31. The temptation of the dragon
The ancient war tree, which the native elder Singal called the Tree Lord, looked at me condescendingly, and said to me gently, "May I do something for you?" young magician. ”
Standing at the root of the Ancient War Tree like an ant on an elephant's toe, I struggled to raise my head and shouted to him, "Mr. Tree, I hope this will be a great battlefield against the Nibru spiders, and my warriors will clear the spider warriors surrounding the Green Valley and help you get rid of the threat of the Nibru spiders." ”
The ancient tree of war burst out laughing, his voice was a little deafening, the whole canopy seemed to shake violently, and some fallen leaves fluttered in the sky, swirling and falling.
"Haha, young magician, you can call me a tree, or you can call me a new tree, but don't call me Mr. Shuweng, because Shuwen is not my name. The Ancient Tree of War smiled at me, as if it were a very interesting thing.
I said to the tree, "Okay, tree. ”
The face on the trunk was two stories high, like a giant wood carving, and the tree man shrugged his eyebrows and asked me, "Oh! Did the old fellow of the Dust Swamp tell you that the name of every ancient tree of war is a secret?"
"It didn't mention this to me!" I said to the Treeman, "I need your help. ”
Shuwen paused for a moment before asking me again, "Can you be more specific, how can I help you?" It's isolated here, and I haven't dealt with humans in the Roland plane for at least a thousand years. ”
I said loudly to the Ancient Tree of War, "For example, you can ask the tree jīng in the forest to provide my warriors with a place for giant spiders to hide, or if you can ask the tree jīng to open up a forest path that will allow my warriors to go unobstructed, or tell me some other information about the Green Valley Forest through some way to guide us to victory in the battle, of course, I don't know your true strength, if your tree jīng warriors can provide other help, we are more than willing to accept it." ”
Shuwen pondered for a moment and asked me, "Young human magician, do you have any other requirements?"
"What kind of request?" I asked rhetorically.
His voice rumbled in my ears like rolling thunder in the sky.
Shu Weng said: "For example, sign some master-slave magic contracts or something. ”
It seems that this ancient tree of war is extremely wary of the people of the Grimm Empire, and it doesn't seem to believe that I am here, just to hunt the Nibru spider-men.
So I said to him, "No, I would never ask for that. ”
I waved my clenched fist and said to the ancient tree of war: " I'm only here at the invitation of a friend of the Ancient Tree of War, because we share the same goal, in order to drive out the Nebru spider-people who have invaded our territory, I want to unite all the forces that can be united, including the War Ancient Tree and the Tree Jīng in the forest, the natives of the Hiero plane, or the Wurm who live on the rocky cliffs of Pillar Mountain, as long as they are willing to fight against the Nebru spider-people with us, then we will unite and drive those spider-people out of the Black Forest. ”
Finally, I added, "When they leave the Green Valley, and when I leave here, I can make a magical oath to what I say now." ”
Of course, my vacation is only one month, and if I still want to pass the exams in all the magic disciplines this semester, I must rush back to the Royal Academy of Magic on time, and in my absence, Justus needs to stay in the area around Trum with these barbarian slaves to protect the town of Tron that is being built.
After listening to what I said, Shu Weng hesitated for a moment before saying, "It seems that I am too careful." ”
The solemn aura around him suddenly became much more relaxed.
Shu Weng said to me, "If it's just the requests you made before, it's all within my power, and of course there's no problem. ”
It then said to me, "I will ask the trees in the Green Valley to assist you in their entirety, but this convenience will only work within the range of the Green Valley, beyond which my lord's aura cannot extend there, so once you are out of my lord's aura, I will not be able to give you any more help." ”
Hearing this, I asked, "There must be some reason why you are so suspicious of a Grimm Empire who sincerely comes to help you." ”
After hesitating for a moment, Shu Weng said honestly: "...... For I see the key of power hanging from your chest. ”
I was surprised and asked, "You think I'm an ambitious invader because you saw this leaf?"
The tree said to me, "The key of strength represents a part of the power of an ancient tree of war. ”
Little did I expect that the War Tree of the Dust Swamp would lend me some of its power, and I said to the Treeman, "I thought it was just a token to be able to see you, and I didn't even know how to master it." ”
The tree shook the leaves in the canopy, as if the whole forest was rustling.
Shu Weng asked me, "When you walked into the forest, did you feel that you could cāo a tree within a certain range?"
It dawned on me and said, "It turns out that this leaf still has such a function!" When the War Ancient Tree of the Dust Swamp gave it to me, it didn't say how to use it, and I am not a druid in the forest, and I don't need the power of the forest. ”
At this time, I asked Shu Weng again: "How big is the Green Valley within the scope of your so-called Green Valley?"
Shu Weng smiled innocently and said to me, "Let Singal walk around this forest, and you will know how big my lord's aura is." ”
I asked it, "Treeman, have the Nibru spiders built a spider camp in your territory?"
"That's right," said the treeman, "they have set up four spider camps on the edge of the Green Valley, and a large number of the people of the forest have been stripped of their lives by these spider people, and have turned into dead trees with the children of the Gilat tribe hanging on them. ”
I stood at the root of the tree, my neck was a little sore, and I rubbed my neck vigorously with my hands and said to him, "Yes, that's what I'm going to do." ”
I said, "I'll be clearing out several Spider Camps on the outskirts of Green Valley, so I'll need to carve out a battlefield near Pillar Mountain in Green Valley to trap and kill the Spider Wardens lurking in the Spider Camps." ”
Treeman: "Spider-Man Overseers, the most powerful being in the Black Forest......"
The ancient war tree, known as the Tree Man, told me many things that I had never heard of before, perhaps because the ancient war tree in the Dust Swamp had lost some of its memory, so many things were forgotten by it.
In short, my purpose of rushing to see this ancient tree of war has been perfectly achieved, and with the help of the greatest power of the ancient tree of war, those trees in the forest will be our ears and eyes, and will also provide some camouflage and protection for the soldiers.
......
A high-pitched dragon roar resounded through the valley, and a young wurm flew from the edge of the sky, bringing a gust of wind with each flap of its wings.
I was standing on top of the canopy of a giant sequoia tree, and at first I didn't see the butterfly on the dragon's back.
As the wurm circled over the spider camp, I spotted the butterfly on the dragon's back.
At this moment, she hugged the dragon's neck tightly, her body was almost completely attached to the wurm's body, and she held a spear tightly in one hand, making a provocative dive towards the spider camp, and at the moment when the wurm rushed to the lowest point, Le Die threw the spear in her hand fiercely.
I've never understood the difference between the Dragon Knight and the Constructed Knight in terms of their fighting style, but now I've finally seen the way Le Butterfly fights, throwing spears in the air.
I seemed to see the spear as if it was about to pierce the air, and a white cyclone wrapped around the spear stabbed into the body of a spider-man warrior who was looking up at the wurm, pinning it firmly to the ground.
It turns out that this is the advantage that the dragon knight has, and when Le Die throws the spear, he uses not only his own strength, but also the power of the wurm to dive in the sky and the weight of the spear itself, so that the thrown spear can almost reach a limit in speed.
If this wurm can breathe out a breath of dragon breath at this time, it can better interpret the meaning of dragon warriors, but apparently this young wurm has not learned how to breathe dragon breath, and its nostrils are spewing thick smoke, but not fire.
There was a low roar from the spider camp, a roar that made the entire deadwood of the spider camp tremble.
Countless black iron spears were thrown into the sky from the spider camp, but unfortunately Le Die rode the wurm and did not fly very low, but only made a diving move, and immediately increased the flight altitude, so these black iron spears flew in the air to a height of five or six hundred meters, and fell down one after another along the parabolic trajectory, but the landing point was in the dense forest a kilometer away.
These spears didn't hurt the wurm in the sky in the slightest, and even so, I still sweated for Le Die, and when I grabbed Ying Li's little hand, I found that her palm was also wet.
As the muffled roar fell, several tall dead trees in the spider camp suddenly fell, and a spider-man overseer, about four stories tall, rose from the spider camp with six butcher's axes in his hands, and roared angrily at the wurms in the sky.
The black sè beetle on the Spider-Man Overseer's body was particularly dark, which was a little different from the Spider-Man Overseers I had seen before, he actually had six arms on his upper body, from his shoulders to under his ribs, and his arms were tightly holding six axes, almost forming a strong sound wave when he roared.
The Spider-Man Overseer was much stronger than any of the Overseers we'd seen before, his huge, two-story villa-like belly covered with light brown markings, and eight strong spider legs supporting his body, and suddenly appeared in our field of vision, like an archdemon emerging from the flames of hell.
Like a tornado, a two-meter-long jet-black butcher's axe swirled out of the spider-man overseer's hand, drawing a strange arc in the sky and flying towards the wurm in mid-air.
Le Die realized the dangerous aura, and immediately asked Ye Long to adjust his flight attitude, desperately flapping the dragon wings to climb into the air, the butcher's axe passed dangerously under the feet of the wurm, if it weren't for the large size of the wurm, the tornado brought by the flying axe could even roll the wurm into it.
At this time, Le Die finally realized that even if she was in the sky, she was not absolutely safe, so she was so frightened that she didn't dare to make any extra moves, and rode the wurm towards the nearest pillar mountain.
Looking at the figure of the Wurm in the distance, the Spider-Man Overseer let out a roar again, and his body was like a steam train breaking through the dense forest, chasing in the direction of Pillar Mountain, and a team of Spider-Man Warriors followed closely behind the Spider-Man Overseer, like a black charcoal pen drawing a thick black line on a pure green cardboard.
I don't know how long this spider-man overseer hasn't eaten dragon meat, and when he saw the wurm appearing in the sky, he actually chased after Pillar Mountain like crazy.
As for the butcher's axe in the sky, it also ended up falling into the dense jungle and was invisible.
At this time, hundreds of giant spiders rushed out of the spider camp and searched for the place where the butcher's axe had landed, apparently trying to retrieve the butcher's axe.
I hid myself from the dense foliage of the canopy so that I wouldn't be sensed by the Spider-Man Overseer, and with the help of the Jīng of the trees in Midori Valley, our team was like wearing a magical invisibility cloak and hiding in the dense forest, no matter how many giant spiders scouted in the forest, there was no way to detect our tracks.
Seeing that Butterfly had finally succeeded in luring the Spider-Man Overseer out of the Spider Camp, I waved at Karantso and Justus, who were hiding in the forest.
Hundreds of barbarian slaves were immediately led by Justus and outflanked the empty spider camp like a wave.
At this time, Karantso also rode on his horse with the orc warriors, following behind the barbarian slaves.
The orc warriors' mission this time is not to rush into the spider-man camp to kill the spider-man warriors inside, they are to stay behind the barbarian slaves, once they break through from the camp and some fish that slip through the net, the orc warriors need to intercept and kill them as soon as possible, so as to prevent these spider-men from passing the news of the camp to the spider-man overseers who are planning to climb Pillar Mountain to hunt wurm.
"Le Die won't have a [zero point reading] thing, right?" asked Ying Li to me, looking a little worried.
I shook Ying Li's little hand and comforted her: "As long as she doesn't make a fool, she will be fine!"
