Chapter 427: The Last Hope
There were two locators, one on his body, and the other had fallen with the Ain El warrior.
Despite being highly non-lethal, he died.
The toxins secreted by giant trees are very deadly.
Another armor-clad Ain El warrior picked up the fist-sized locator from the corpse and climbed from the sunlit side.
They agreed that if there was a heart at all, it would probably be very large at the top of the tree, as the giant tree had not yet fully grown.
Although the other side looks beautiful, it is just as dangerous, and it can even be said to be more dangerous.
If you stare at that white and flawless skin for a long time, you will see a beautiful and unusual face appear in front of your eyes, with a smile that will make you fall into a position where you can't extricate yourself.
That's where the charm test is done.
Even with the bonus of the special equipment of [Cat's Resentment], the charm attribute of the Demon Hunter is only thirteen points, and this attribute is still very important to the Demon Hunter, because the power of the magic seal skill is determined by the charm attribute.
And the elves, half-elves, and Ayn El elves present may be born with more than this value in their charisma attributes.
Especially Legolas, who is considered handsome and dashing among elves, has a high charisma attribute of seventeen points, but he still can't guarantee to pass that judgment 100%.
The warrior who volunteered to take over his dead companion clearly had great confidence in his own charisma and will.
The metal gloves left bloody holes in the blown-through skin, and the warrior climbed upwards with an indomitable momentum, controlling his gaze to look upward, trying not to stay in one position for too long.
This method had some effect, and he quickly overtook the demon hunter who was looking for a support point on the other side, and reached a position of thirty meters.
Then he heard a faint moan.
This moan shook his heart like a flood bell and shook his heart, and like the sound of a warbler, it wrapped around his ears, making him subconsciously look for the source of the sound.
He saw a face that had only appeared in a dream, and it appeared before his eyes, with a hint of pain on his face, frowning, and looking at him with some dissatisfaction.
It seems to blame him for being so rude and uninteresting.
He couldn't help but take off his helmet with one hand, kiss it, and then his whole face melted into the bark, like a nodule growing from the trunk of a tree, hanging in the air.
Once again, the warriors of the Ain El clan have failed.
Although the caster had been prepared for this, he was still disappointed, and he was very reluctant to pin his only hope on a human.
But that human was the only life he had ever seen that was almost completely immune to chaos pollution, and in the current situation, the value of that human's bloodline was comparable to the importance of the ancient blood to the Ain El clan.
The caster raised his staff and swung it, and the sharp blade of ice severed the connection between the warrior and the Corrupted Tree, and the corpse fell to the ground like a fallen leaf.
Blood splattered.
Before that, they had also sent men to try to climb the giant tree.
At that time, it was less than 100 meters.
But the best record is only to stop at 50 meters, and for this, they have to pay a lot of sacrifice.
Now, it's up to that human to pull off miracles.
Xu Yichen didn't waste time, the death of the alien didn't shake his heart, and he wasn't affected in the slightest.
A fruit that fell from the sky landed on the trunk of a tree not far away, and the monster with the black carapace tore through the membrane and emerged from it.
The amniotic fluid in the fruit clung to the carapace of the other, shimmering uncomfortably in the sunlight, and the body was almost entirely composed of bones, connecting the sharp limbs.
A long tail with poisonous barbs, a long head with a cracked mouth and a silent roar, and a mouthpart with fangs inside the mouth that moves in and out like a snake.
The sharp limbs are ideal for climbing on tree trunks, and the flexible mouthparts and very malleable tail can make almost 360-degree attacks without dead ends.
The Demon Hunter didn't know if it was a monster that the Tree of Corruption had bred specifically for him, but he had to admit that it was too good for the current environment.
Xu Yichen has received special street combat training, field training, he knows how to fight in a small space, how to fight underwater, how to fight in a gravityless space environment.
But he was really untrained in hand-to-hand combat with enemies in the trees.
Ember Hug did its job, and although the magic patterns that activated Oreha Steel had been damaged in the previous explosion, the Oriha Steel metal still formed an improvised armor that clings to the skin of the Don't Famine, protecting the Demon Hunter's body from harm.
The monster's sharp tail scythe poked at Xu Yichen's back, but it failed to pierce the armor's protection.
Orehasteel withstood the initial assault and spread like water across the armor's surface, leaving the tougher Dondon of Famine's leather to bear the rest of the damage.
The Demon Hunter felt like he had been punched hard.
Inconsequential injuries.
He continued to bury his head in his head and climb upwards, and the heights he had passed, finding nothing special.
"When you see it, you'll recognize it, and the heart of the tree will be unique." These were Legolas's exact words, and I hope he didn't misunderstand the caster's meaning.
The demon hunter soon surpassed fifty meters in height, and the monster followed, harassing him with its tail and mouthparts.
Xu Yichen used his body to block all the attacks, but the monster quickly shifted the target to his bare limbs and head.
Legolas and the Half-Elves both looked up at the battle taking place in the trees, and the caster glanced up a few times between battles.
That height was beyond his reach, so he unleashed more frost, freezing the newly hatched fruits around him into ice sculptures.
Twenty minutes was almost their limit, unless he planned to exhaust the elite squad in this operation.
The monster that was more agile in the tree quickly overtook the demon hunter and launched an attack from the top of his head, and its sharp mouthparts shot straight at Xu Yichen's face.
He tilted his head to dodge this attack, freed up one hand, and in the state of [Red Time], seized the fleeting moment, grabbed the mouthpiece fiercely, and turned outward!
