"58." Ye Qingcheng thought for a while and said.

His liquid fire had just been upgraded, and he couldn't wait to try the power of this skill at the moment. Compared to the Wind Cat, his attack on the Dryad is obviously more powerful.

"Listen to you, then let's go to the right." Zhang shrugged his shoulders crookedly and walked directly towards the path on the right. During this period, I encountered several waves of monsters, but there were not many of them, and they did not pose any threat to everyone, so they directly pushed over.

It didn't take long for everyone to suddenly feel empty in front of them, and they came to a huge clearing.

This clearing is very strange, there is only green grass, but there is not a single tree in sight. Coming here, Ye Qingcheng immediately realized that the boss seemed to be right in front of him.

After all, in a wooded misty forest, such a clearing where not a single tree could be seen would have represented an anomaly.

No! It's not that there isn't a single tree here, and if the one in front of everyone can really be called a 'tree'!

I saw that in the middle of the clearing, there was a huge tree man more than ten meters high, several times higher than ordinary tree people! The lush foliage resembles a roof, completely enveloping the nearby area for tens of meters in its own shadow.

These are the Ancient Guardians, the most loyal guardians of the Tree of Life, whose duty is to surround the Tree of Life and destroy all intruders who invade its confines.

Sensing the approach of Ye Qingcheng and the others, the Ancient Guardian woke up from its slumber, and on the rough trunk, it suddenly opened a pair of huge eyes, staring at the intruder who disturbed its long sleep.

Elder Guardian: Lv8 Commander! HP: 30000!

"! Rank 8 Commander! Zhang Crooked gasped, when he went down to the Misty Forest of Normal difficulty, the boss was just an elite-level Tread Guard, and the difficult difficulty was only a Boss-level Dryad King. And when it comes to expert-level difficulty, it turns out to be a commander-level Ancient Guardian!

Although judging by the name, this Ancient Guardian seems to be inferior to the Dryad King. However, Zhang Crooked knew that the same eighth-level creature, the Dryad only had 12,000 HP, while this Ancient Guardian only had 30,000 terrifying HP.

Does this Nima still let people live?

Zhang was crooked for a while, and Ye Qingcheng's face here was not very good-looking.

The eighth-level Commander Pattern Mother Spider he encountered before was only 15,000 HP, but this Rank 8 Ancient Guardian had 30,000 HP! It's also an eighth-level monster, why is the amount of blood inferior to Nimado?

Ye Qingcheng thought about it, the root cause of this was actually a racial problem.

Spiders are insect-like monsters, and their HP growth is not too high. And the Ancient Guardian belongs to the monsters of the plant system, and the monsters of the plant system are already tenacious. And the Dryad monster is the best of them, and in terms of life alone, it may be higher than the monsters of the beast system.

However, depressed and depressed, Ye Qingcheng was not afraid.

It's just a commander, and it's not like he hasn't killed Ye Qingcheng, so it's not worth fearing at all.

"Sakuna, Lapa Tuo!"

At this moment, the Ancient Guardian suddenly opened its huge mouth and let out a heaven-shattering roar. Then he rose from the ground, opened his two thick thighs, and rushed towards everyone.

Of course, this ancient guardian is a sapient creature, and his roar just now is actually speaking elven language, but unfortunately no one has learned elven language, so it can only be regarded as a roar.

"Crooked, top!" Ye Qingcheng yelled, and then directly shrank behind obscenely, ready to support at any time.

"Nima!" Looking at the huge figure of the ancient guardian, Zhang Crooked's face was bitter, but he was the only knight in this team, and this monster could only be resisted by him, so he could only face it head-on.

Shattering Armor!

-36！

Zhang crooked his eyes saw the Ancient Guardian grow larger and larger in his line of sight, and suddenly changed his steps incomparably obscenely, bypassing the thick thighs of the Ancient Guardian, avoiding a frontal collision while not forgetting to slash at its leg with a broken armor.

However, the Elder Guardian's defense is too high, and his attacks are ineffective.

Suppress!

-48

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ancient Guardian did not turn around, Zhang Crooked hurriedly bombarded its body with another suppression, reducing its attack power. However, due to the previous armor shattering blow, the defense of the ancient guardian was greatly reduced, and Zhang Crooked's attack power increased a little.

Crash!

-74！

Zhang's attack speed is extremely fast, and another skill slashes at the leg of the Ancient Guardian. Crash is a skill that breaks defense very high, and is especially useful against these monsters with high defense. It's a pity that the first-level collapse attack power is too low, and it's not even as good as ordinary attacks, so it's not as easy to use as other skills to deal with those monsters with low defense.

"Ula Ula~!"

At this time, the Ancient Guardian was obviously enraged by Zhang Crooked, who was drilling around, and immediately roared angrily, raised his right leg and stomped it fiercely.

Bang dang!

War trampling!

The ground trembled, and Zhang Crooked was trampled on by this move, and immediately fell into a state of vertigo!

-67！

This War Trample is similar to Thunder Shock, but it is a somewhat controlled skill, with low damage and a smaller range. However, as soon as you are hit by this move, you will immediately fall into a state of vertigo.

"Xi Oh Saba~!"

The Ancient Guardian let out a cry of joy, picked up his millstone-sized palm, and slapped it fiercely towards Zhang Crooked, who was in a state of vertigo.

Syllable~!

-168！

I only heard a crisp sound, and Zhang Crooked, who was covered in plate armor and weighed more than 300, flew like a fly, and after flying more than ten meters in the air, he fell to the ground with a thud.

-36！

Swish!

With a flash of white light, two healing techniques were applied to his body at the same time.

+106！ +86！

"Uh, are you okay?" It was the first time that Ye Qingcheng saw Zhang Crooked being beaten by a monster like a grandson, and couldn't help but ask with a worried face.

"It's okay, it's just a little dizzy." Zhang skewed to his feet from the ground, shook his head, and then rushed towards the Ancient Guardian again.

Only this time, Zhang Crooked obviously learned to be obedient, and he no longer dared to stay under the crotch of the Ancient Guardian for too long, at most, he circled around the Ancient Guardian, using his flexibility to dodge attacks.

"Fire!"

Seeing that Zhang Crooked had almost pulled the hatred, Ye Qingcheng also began to cast a spell, and raised his hand to see two flame bombs. Since his fire soul effect has not been activated yet, the casting speed is slightly slow, so he directly chooses two runes.

“slo！” Rune: Slow.

“speed！” Rune: Speed

Under Ye Qingcheng's fine control, after the two runes were obviously interspersed, they blasted towards the ancient guardians one after the other. Seeing that the two flame bombs were about to hit, Ye Qingcheng blasted out with another flame impact, and the three magic spells hit at the same time, directly giving the ancient guardian a ruthless blow.

-192！

Spell Combo!

System: Plant-based monsters are restrained by fire magic, and damage is increased by 50%!

The ancient guardian's magic resistance was so high that the three magic strikes combined failed to penetrate it. Fortunately, the damage is not low, and it is estimated that this combined attack is not penetrated, and the Ancient Guardian is estimated to be uncomfortable.

Whack! Heroic strike! Crash!

At this time, Zhou Qian also pounced. He has learned military swordsmanship, and his attack speed at the moment is amazingly fast, even if he still can't catch up with Zhang Crooked, but it is not far behind. And the damage of the two-handed big sword is very considerable, so in terms of damage, this guy was able to hold down Zhang Crooked's head steadily.

Liu Ren also started shooting, and after changing to a fine-grade longbow, he improved both his piercing and damage. Although the defense of this ancient guardian is high, it is not too perverted under Zhang Crooked's broken armor attack, Liu Ren's piercing is completely sufficient, and the output is even higher than Zhou Qian.

As a result, the guy with the lowest output in the team turned into Zhang Crooked, and this discovery made him very depressed.

“slo！” Rune: Slow.

Batter!

“pierce！” Rune: Piercing

“pierce！” Rune: Piercing

“speed！” Rune: Speed

Here, Ye Qingcheng also showed no weakness, and opened a combo, and it was four flame bombs. Just to ensure the penetration, he didn't split his skills into two waves, but blasted them all towards the Ancient Guardians!

Bang!

-358！

Spell Combo!

Spells through!

Burn!

The Guardian of the Ancients' magic resistance was high, and it was impossible to resist the combined attack of the four flame bombs, and he was ruthlessly shot through the spell, and the raging flames began to burn on his body.

-52！ -53！ -52！ -53！

In the blink of an eye, the forced ignition effect on the Ancient Guardian had been stacked to seven layers, and the flames began to burn on its body, burning it with a painful howl.

"Tiramishu, Lacamaka!"

The Ancient Guardian let out a roar of rage, then left Zhang crooked and ran straight to the woods to the side. Before everyone could understand what was going on, his palm the size of a millstone suddenly grasped a thick tree, only to hear a roar, and the ancient guardian actually uprooted the big tree, held the big tree in his hand, and used it as a long stick, and slammed it towards Zhang Crooked.

"~!"

Zhang Crooked almost peeed in fright, and hurriedly raised his shield to protect the top of his head, only to hear a clang!

The big tree slammed on the crooked shield, and although he had used the shield to block, he was still blown up by the huge force, and spun in the air for a half, and then fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Block!

-76！

A staggering number popped up from the top of Zhang's crooked head. Although he successfully blocked this blow with his shield, the huge damage still took away more than seventy points of his health.
