Chapter 156: Desert Tree Demon
After walking for a long time, the little pig noticed that there were more and more green plants around him, and the sand under his feet was getting more and more humid and flat, and he looked up to see a pool of lake surrounded by greenery not far away. The breeze blew, and in the scorching sun, the wind seemed to carry a slight dampness and coolness.
"Oh yes!" Piggy jumped as he looked at the green and sparkling lake in front of him. From yesterday's departure to this moment, the two of them and one pig have passed through yellow sand, yellow sand or yellow sand...... Occasionally, passing by some scattered coniferous green plants, although they look tenacious, they can't bring people a sense of pleasure in this yellow sand. Seeing the lake from afar at the moment, she really wanted to get close to the lake and drink it as soon as possible, uh, it was better to jump into the lake and take a bath......
The lake is surrounded by greenery, and there are all kinds of green plants, mostly low shrubs, some of which have beautiful flowers of different colors, and some trees with thick stems...... She couldn't name any of the piglets, but she was glad she knew one of them, and that was the cactus.
Just those cacti...... The lake is surrounded by a dense circle of cacti, except for the plants that the piglets can't name. The cacti had grown into tall and stout cylindrical shapes, the shorter ones were more than half a man's height, and the taller ones were two or three meters tall, covered with sharp needles.
"!" When he approached, the little pig looked at the tall cacti and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "This is definitely a mutated cactus!"
As a lazy person in reality, she also planted a tenacious cactus, which has grown from a tender ball the size of her thumb to a large ball that she crossed the height of her front half of her arm in more than ten years. How many years does it take to reach the height of these cacti in front of you?
"Wait!" The plum water that was walking in front suddenly stopped the one person and one pig who were eager to pounce on the lake.
Lu Yunchu stopped in time and looked at Mei Shui with questioning eyes, but the little pig in his arms was about to move: What are you waiting for? Don't you see that lake water beckoning to us?
Mei Shui looked around the lake and frowned, "If I remember correctly, there were no such cacti on the edge of this lake in the past. He goes to Norma once a year, and most of the time he likes to walk in the desert with his bags on his back rather than teleporting directly to Norma Village.
I remember that last year, it seemed that there were no such cacti in this oasis.
"...... "What does this mean? Within a year, a dense circle of cacti that take decades or even centuries to grow here grows seems unscientific......
A man and a pig looked at the lake that was close at hand, and then looked at Mei Shui with an inquiring gaze, Mei Shui said uncertainly: "You and I should be careful!
"Hmm. Lu Yunchu replied succinctly. After two days of attacks by fish demons and sand demons, he has a deeper understanding of the dangers of this desert, and if he is not careful in this desert, he may lose his life. Fortunately, he and Little Pig had plum water to guide the way, otherwise I am afraid that they would not have been able to go so far smoothly.
The little pig heard Mei Shui say this, and then looked around. At this time, there was no wind, and all the green plants by the lake did not move in the light of the scorching sun, especially the tall and towering cacti, which were motionless but looked eerie, and the needles covered in their bodies glared at them like countless hidden eyes. For a moment, the little pig felt that everything was very strange, and now he nested quietly back in his pocket, but his eyes were observing the surroundings without blinking.
To get water from the lake, you have to pass through the dense cactus. Mei Shui and Lu Yunchu slowly approached the dense forest, and looked ahead vigilantly.
Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the lake, the little pig could even smell the fresh fragrance of the lake water under the scorching sun......
Twenty Steps...... Fifteen Steps...... Twelve-step ......
Just as the two of them were about ten steps away from the dense forest, the cacti, which were originally standing tall, suddenly moved...... The needles on their bodies shot straight at them like sharp arrows, and they were so dense that it was impossible to dodge.
"Be careful! Stand back!" shouted Mei Shui, who was walking ahead, as he unleashed a tornado to envelop the first few needles that shot at him, and a moment later, the needles were curled into pieces and fell to the ground. Mei Sainer did not stop, constantly casting the needle that the tornado swept over, and retreated a few steps back.
Lu Yun first saw the countless needles that shot rapidly, and he also cast a spell like Mei to block the sharp arrows that attacked him, and retreated.
Retreating about twenty paces from the dense forest, the cacti suddenly stopped moving as promised, and all pinprick attacks came to an abrupt halt, and the lake was calm again.
It all happened so quickly and ended so suddenly...... The little pig was so frightened in his pocket that he didn't dare to come out, but fortunately, Mei Shui and Lu Yunchu reacted sensitively, otherwise they wouldn't have become hedgehogs once they were shot by the dense needles?
Although those cacti had stopped attacking, Lu Yunchu still kept his hands in front of him and remained in a state of casting spells to counterattack at any time.
Mei Shui looked at him and said, "Ten meters away, they can't attack us, just as our magic can't attack them ten meters away." ”
Just as in the modern world, no matter how advanced guns and ammunition are, the ordinary magic of the Marfa continent also has its attack range limit, that is, if the magic exceeds ten meters, the magic cast cannot fall on the target it attacks.
"Why is this strange?" Lu Yunchu asked.
Mei Shui looked at him and sighed, this Lu Yun Chu is really a strange physique. He had walked the desert many times, but he had never encountered anything like this today: "This is a tree demon." I've only heard Master mention it, but it's the first time I've encountered it today. ”
Desert tree demons, shaped like cacti, are easy to root and grow fast, often growing up to several meters tall overnight once they take root in sand. Likes to grow near the water, and shoots the walkers in the desert who pass through the lake to get water with their own needles. Although its acupuncture is non-toxic, if the practitioner is defenseless, he is often shot into a sieve by its dense acupuncture, and the death is tragic.
"That ......" Lu Yunchu looked at the lake close at hand, and licked his dry lips with some hesitation, he and the little pig had already drunk up the two sacs of water, if they didn't replenish the drinking water here, they didn't know when they would be able to reach the next oasis.
Mei Shui seemed to see his concerns: "Don't think about it! There will be no other water source in the future, you and I must replenish here, otherwise you and I will die of thirst in this desert in less than half a day." ”
"Then how to crack it?" Lu Yunchu asked again.
Mei Shui didn't answer him immediately, but turned his gaze to the dense tree demon, and after looking around, he said, "Master said that the tree demon likes heat and fears cold, and once it encounters ice, it will automatically wither.
