Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Tree Monster

Zhao Tie Dan didn't care what kind of eyes other people would look at him, anyway, he himself felt that he had let go of a knot in his heart.

The armies obeyed the order and raised their torches. Su Qinghuang commanded, for a while, there were hundreds of torches here, and the flames rose, almost turning the night into day.

Since the sound just now is a greeting, and when you come to the territory of the mountain ghost, it is really ridiculous to hide it again.

Su Cao Xue and the three of them are located in the front, middle and back sections of the team, so that when there is an emergency, they can be taken care of as soon as possible.

After this weeping willow, there is no longer a big road in the mountains, but a small road, and the vegetation on both sides has also changed significantly, there are many towering ancient trees, the top is like a cover, covering the sky and the moon, there are many people who leak out of the ankle bones are cut by the sharp dead branches, and the blood dripping does not stop in an instant.

"Su Tou'er. Xu Lao Liu had been very quiet in front of him, and then suddenly said loudly: "Somehow, I just feel flustered, afraid that there is something strange here." ”

Su Qinghuang's eyes have a golden light, which can already be hidden, but at this time it reappeared, naturally he did it intentionally, combined with the star eye, his eyesight is on a higher level, and he can see some things that ordinary people can't see, but after using it for a long time, there will be an uncomfortable burning feeling in his eyes.

Su Qinghuang's footsteps stopped.

"It's coming. ”

"What?" Xu Lao Liu didn't hear clearly, and asked more.

"All the armies are on alert. Su Qinghuang suddenly shouted loudly.

This time, not only Xu Laoliu, but the entire team listened to it sincerely. The three hundred people did not mess up, although in the line of sight, there is no true face of the target of Lushan, but the defensive formation has been opened, the shield hand is in front, the spear is behind, everyone has a nervous look on their faces, this is their first actual combat, and some people will even put their lives in this deep mountain forever, but it is also a rare experience of life and death, if they can survive, it is enough to make their mentality have a qualitative transformation.

One soldier's eyes widened, and suddenly he saw the movement of the branches of the surrounding trees, and warned in a loud voice: "Brothers, be careful, there is something wrong with these trees, it, they are moving." ”

After this reminder, everyone noticed that the willows and pine acacia that were common on both sides of the mountain road actually moved together at this time, and through the dim light of the torches, it could be seen that the branches swaying from side to side were not caused by the mountain wind, but more as if they were given life, and each branch, like a human arm, stretched out, began to writhe wildly, and then swept towards everyone in a frightened gaze.

"Ahh ”

In the team, someone suddenly screamed loudly, and in the gloomy night, everyone pressed down on their hearts like a cloud.

Because the initial reaction was too late to dodge, three or five people were entangled in the branches, and the strength was quite great, and the branches where they were entangled were strangled into the flesh and blood, and the barbs on the top made several people almost faint in pain, and they quickly shouted for help. Fortunately, there was Xue Changyi by his side, the steel knife in his hand shimmered with silver light, and the slashing force was just right, cutting off the branches without hurting the flesh and skin, and the few people who were saved quickly treated their wounds, and retreated to the back of the team, with the shield hand in front and closed the formation.

But what happened next made these recruits who had only seen low-level martial arts cultivation in the sky couldn't believe their eyes.

Around me, there are about 20 old trees that are lush and green, and the trunks are enough for a few people to hug and thick, and the roots of the trees are actually like human feet, pulled out of the soil alive, and the large handfuls of new mud on them are sprinkled as they move forward, squinting the eyes of many people.

At this moment, they are no longer old trees that have taken root in the mountains for hundreds of years, but have become tree people, and the black holes in the trunks are their eyes, ears, nose, and ears.

Su Qinghuang and the other three hurriedly stabilized the morale of the army, and shouted loudly: "Don't mess up the formation, it's just some puppet tree monsters, with the swords and guns in your hands, you can kill them." ”

In the eyes of the stars.

Race: Dryad (Psychic Control)

Realm: A realm of quenching the body

Although it is much stronger than ordinary people, but if the quenching realm is rushed up at the same time, whether it is Cao Kaiquan or Xue Changyi, they will feel tricky, and they will punch the master to death, and it is not uncommon for the martial cultivators of the lower realm to join forces to kill those who are two or three realms higher than them.

"That's right, you can't mess around, look at me. Xu Lao Liu took the lead and said by his own example.

Before the words fell, he had raised his shield and blocked the sweeping branches at once, this branch was not much thinner than his forearm, and the strength above it was also full, so a branch was drawn on the shield, so Xu Lao Liu took five or six steps back, and almost sat on the ground, but he always blocked it, which was very morale-boosting for other recruits.

Seeing that these tree monsters were tall, it was not something they could deal with alone, but everyone joined forces and the weapons in their hands to have the strength to fight, so these people gradually became bolder, no longer blindly retreating and defending, the formation was solid, pressing step by step, and more than a dozen people were in a team, entangled with the tree monsters.

Someone cut off the branch that stretched out, and before he had time to celebrate and cheer, another tender willow was like a whip, with the sound of breaking the wind, and it was fiercely drawn towards his head, but fortunately, his companions were quick to move, and raised his shield to meet him, and through the strength of the shield, he almost let it go, and finally gritted his teeth to support it, saving the lives of the two.

Because the recruit Xiao Wu is younger, his strength is not as strong as theirs, and his hands and feet are already sore, but he gritted his teeth to hold on to his breath, and the others behind him raised their spears, and under the cover of several shields, the spears pierced the holes in the trunk with cold light.

"It's too hard, I can't move at all. Soldiers with spears shouted loudly. The mottled bark is the natural armor of these tree monsters, and the defensive power is comparable to the top triple armor in the US military camp, with their strength, without a heavy crossbow, it is difficult to hurt these strange things, plus the branches on those tree trunks, cut one and pop up another. For a time, the Lushan battalion only had the power to parry, but there was no way to fight back, and between several advances and retreats, there were people with red, but fortunately, it was not a critical position, and there was no worry about their lives.

Su Qinghuang slashed horizontally, and a spark was rubbed on the bark of the tree, this knife did not use spiritual power, it was just a temptation, and it also gave him a rough judgment of the strength of these things. With this strong defense alone, it is really difficult to break through the Quenching Realm without a weapon in hand.

Now that he has the bottom in his heart, Su Qinghuang finally stopped keeping his hand, and it was another knife, unlike before, this knife added momentum, and the spiritual power was wrapped in it, so that an ordinary short knife, a very small brilliance appeared on the knife body. Next, like a wave crashing on the shore rocks, the short knife dragging the snow-white knife suddenly connected with it, until it was about to cut the giant willow in front of him, which was nearly ten meters long, in two.

The stars on the knife are like broken waves, and the drops are scattered.

A knife, just a knife, the old bark that seemed to be indestructible in the eyes of everyone before, has been completely split by this knife at this time. This knife was so happy that it was not only this tree monster that cut off, but also the demon in the heart of the sergeant of the Lushan Battalion, and it was like a ray of light that went straight to the sky, tearing apart the long night of fear.

"Good. ”

There was a short silence, and there was a deafening applause from the sergeants around Su Qinghuang.

Xu Lao Liu shouted at the people who were fighting hard: "The big guys have seen it, these ghost things are not a big deal, they look bluffing, but Su Tou'er split them into two with a knife, and after we have cooked them, take them back to the camp as firewood for cooking." ”

As he spoke, he handed over his shield to the others, picked up his spear and roared, and stepped forward with all his strength, piercing the trunk of the tree in front of him.

is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, and his skills are definitely the top among these three hundred people. I saw that half of the tip of the spear had been pierced in, and Xu Laoliu, who had a sore arm, gritted his teeth, and stepped on the soft mud ground with his feet and sank into it for half an inch, but his body did not retreat but advanced, and with the help of the rest of the people, there was a slight cracking sound on the bark.

The dryad would not sit still, picking up the lush branches that looked like arms, and unleashed a powerful blow. Where could the shield hand guarding the flank on the side let it succeed, the six shields lined up in unison stepped forward, and this time they almost turned their people on their backs, and the shields were dusty, but everyone gritted their teeth and died, so there were no casualties.

Xu Laoliu's arm was bruised, at this most critical juncture, the barrel of the spear was about to bend into a waning moon bow, but fortunately, the tip of the spear had been completely submerged, and along the hole pierced by the tip of the spear, there were microcracks spreading around it.

"Lao Tzu fought with you. Xu Laoliu shouted violently. The muscles on the arm swelled, and the whole circle was thick, and everyone behind him also exerted force at the same time under this encouragement, a crisp sound of chopping wood, the cracks on the bark increased rapidly, and most of the spear body went deep into it, and then in the groaning and howling of the old man who was like a rotten wood from the tree monster, the bark wrapped outside crackled, and burst inch by inch, and finally, the whole body fell heavily into the soil, raising grass clippings, and looked at everyone stunned.

After a short period of sluggishness, someone finally came back to his senses and shouted excitedly: "Win, win, let's win." ”

"Damn, I can't believe it, I heard Su Tou'er say that this thing is also cultivated, and in the realm of quenching the body, we people actually killed it, haha. ”

This side was victorious, and several other places also had gains, and the worst was that they could barely maintain the balance of offense and defense, and finally with the help of Cao Xue and the others, more than twenty tree monsters all fell to the ground without a sound.

The crowd sat or lay on the ground, ashen and panting.

To say that one of them is not so embarrassed, it is not someone else, but He Yang, because of his lively brain, a round of feather arrows with a fire greeting, and then the tip of the gun wrapped in an oilcloth to ignite, even faster than Xu Lao Liu, but in the first hurry, two people in the team injured their arms.

He Yang took out the medicinal powder from his body and poured it on it, tied the bandage into a slipknot again, and asked, "How is it, does it still hurt?"

"It's fine, it's just a minor injury. The man moved his arm, his teeth bared a little in pain, but he still said recklessly.

"If it weren't for Brother He, you pulled it at the critical moment, maybe my arm would have been useless, by the way, how happened to your leg, I saw that there seemed to be a branch, almost on your leg. ”

He Yang pretended to be a master, waved his hand and said, "What can I do, if it weren't for worrying about you, I would have cleaned it up a long time ago." ”

"Brother He, just blow it. ”

"Shit, I need to blow it, okay, you guys go over there and gather and rest, I'll go back and pee." Saying that, He Yang ignored the few people behind him who laughed at his weak body, bent over and trotted to the shade behind him, making sure that no one would see it, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no so-called small solution for him, but he hid behind a tree, pulled up his trouser legs, looked at the long wound on it, extending from his ankles to his knees, and gasped while applying medicine: "Damn, it really hurts." ”
