Beyond the secret realm of the Ancient Tree Forest.

"Stand back, let's stop him!" Goldfrie, the leader of the Treants, stepped forward and led a group of elite Treants to keep Quill and the others behind.

"Guarding Groot is a task given to us by the King of the Dragon Clan, and now that this kind of thing has happened, we have an unshirkable responsibility, so as guests of the Dragon Realm, stand behind us and leave it to us. ”

With Goldfrieh's words, a group of dryads scattered and surrounded the side facing the entrance.

A few tree spirits raised their arms, and streams of emerald green energy suddenly emerged from their bodies, and under the influence of these energies, the surrounding trees began to grow wildly, and the thick roots broke through the soil, surging forward like earth dragons, rushing forward in front of them, and in a few seconds they were leafy, forming a simple wall of vine wood.

At the same time, these dryads are shrouded in this emerald green energy, giving people a sense of power and feeling that is not inferior to Groot, who was so powerful before.

Seeing this scene, Quill and the others were slightly relieved, after all, the ability of the Dryad clan is similar to that of Groot, maybe they are indeed better at dealing with Groot, but there is another point he must remind the Dryad, the crow on Groot's body, and that weird way of moving.

"Be careful, he has the ability to move in space, and there are a lot of crows. ”

"Crows?"

"A black bird...... Wait! He's out!"

Quill was talking, and suddenly noticed that in the hollow of the largest ancient giant tree, a 'thin man' with a height of three meters walked out of it.

He's none other than Groot!

However, the image of Groot is very different from the original.

The original adult Groot was basically 2.3 meters tall, with a monarchous body, a little strong, and a square head.

But now Groot, except for his head has a tendency to be 'beast-like', with a long and narrow face with a deer bone mask and antlers, his palms are clawed. Its body height has also reached three meters, but the focus is on the body size, but it has lost a circle.

Especially the waist, it seems to be deformed, with a very uncoordinated proportion of the 'small waist', the upper body chest and the lower body crotch legs are much wider than the waist, and there are some green leaves scattered on the body.

You must know that although Groot is usually covered with moss and occasionally has some dead branches, he basically does not grow green leaves, unless he wants to eat leaves...

"Anyway, this guy is completely different from the Groot I know. ”

Quill silently shook his head at this 'weird' monster, especially the crow on Groot's shoulders and the antlers above his head, which really made him look very uncomfortable, and I think everyone else in the Guardians of the Galaxy felt the same way except him.

Rocket is the most worried, because the real Groot is unlikely to shoot at him, never.

"Groot, do you remember me?"

The Treant Patriarch stepped forward, stretched out his arms to release the faint green light in his body, and slowly approached Groot.

"I'm Goldfrie, the dryant in charge of your first-stage treatment, we're the same Groot, and we deserve your trust.

You are in a state where you have succeeded in activating the power in your bloodline, and it is powerful, stronger than you and us had ever imagined.

But! You have promised me, and you want your benefactor, your deliverer, the King of the Dragons, to promise that you will do it.

Now, get rid of him!

This is your power, you should be in charge, don't let yourself be manipulated by power!"

Patriarch Goldfri's words seemed to have a magical power.

When his voice spreads, the flowers and trees around him, and even this piece of 'nature', have a unique resonance in the magic and artistic conception, as if his words can break through layers of barriers and go straight to people's hearts, and the surrounding 'nature' is cheerfully catering.

Quill and the others, who had seen this kind of 'artistic conception magic' for the first time, actually had the feeling that they had been brought into the role of Groot, and couldn't help but close their eyes and listen carefully to Goldfrie's words.

The same is true of Groot, who has been wrapped around an ominous aura as he emerges from the entrance of the cave. 、

But when Goldfrie's words spoke, the aura on his body was purified, making him look less terrifying, and even the crows on his shoulders and antlers became quiet and no longer noisy.

In the process, the Treant Patriarch Goldfrie continued to release green energy, taking advantage of this time to slowly touch Groot.

It represents the power of life, and it is also a very pure force of nature, which has a very significant effect on expelling evil thoughts.

However, as soon as the green fluorescent dots touched Groot, they turned gray in a second, then black, and finally dissipated into ashes like wilting.

Then, like a chain reaction, the entire chain of green energy turned gray under Groot's touch, and rushed all the way to Goldfrie.

Goldfrie's eyes widened in surprise when he saw this.

"How is that possible... The sheer withering power, the endless resentment, the thirst for the withering of life, why, why is this power. ”

Goldfrie couldn't stop talking, his body was already frightened by this power, and immediately pinched off the energy chain, and saw that his own energy changed into gray, black, completely withered, and fell into the soil.

All of a sudden!

Goldfrie's artistic conception magic dissipated, and Quill and the others all recovered abruptly, and Groot, who had fallen silent opposite them, opened his red, bloodthirsty eyes again, and crows flew around him.

"Quack—quack—"

"Roar, Roar, Roar, !!Roar, Roar, Roar, Roar, T

Groot roared and plunged his claws into the earth, and countless twisted and sharp dead branches suddenly burst from the ground under his feet, scattering towards everyone in front of him.

"Stop him!" Goldfrie reacted immediately to organize defenses.

The Treants, who had surrounded Groot and were ready, planted their feet on the earth, and the rattan trees on the ground that had spawned them also began to grow rapidly, rushing towards the sea of dead branches.

Although the forces mobilized on both sides are 'wood', there is a very sharp contrast.

The trees of the Treants on the left are shrouded in emerald green energy, full of life.

The wood of Groot on the right is full of rugged and sharp dead branches, which can easily pierce through flesh and blood.

"Boom-" sound, the two sides of the sea of trees collided with each other, and suddenly the sawdust broke branches, and then they were entangled with each other, and because of the huge power, they rushed to the sky with each other, and for a time all sides were shrouded in the sea of trees they created, and Quill and the others had to retreat to avoid being injured by mistake.

But when you get away, you will find that the Treant Clan has a very obvious gap due to the number of people, and it has almost submerged those dead branches.

"Control him, don't hurt his body!"

"Clan... Long...... Patriarch, look!"

One of the dryads shouted in panic, and then they found that their sea of branches were withering, and the green leaves on them were wilting and rotting.

"He's rotting our bodies!"

"Mori... Forest......... Why Block...... I'm ...... Groot!"
