Act Thirty-Four: The Golden Magic Tree
The trio lurked silently from the valley, time as if it stood still, for their movements were so subtle that you wouldn't notice anything unusual when you looked around in the middle of the valley.
He had walked this route hundreds of times, and it was not that he had not been discovered without failure before, but after all, when he was not proficient, it was impossible compared to now. Although the Devil Tree People are strong and aggressive, these naturally blind people are not good at scouting - the transmission of sound is a little slower than the light.
Still, Brando's tense nerves heard the rustle of the tips of his boots grinding against the rocks, and he looked back to see Freya glaring back at him nervously. The young man couldn't help but frown: You're still too nervous, Freya.
He stopped to let Roman pass him, and Miss Merchant did a good job—she lowered her body, breathed evenly, walked at a pace that was neither too big nor too slow, as graceful and dexterous as a kitten, and not too loud. Her spirit is also small and cautious and excited, and the taut heartstrings only allow her body to stimulate more potential, Roman has always considered herself a natural businessman and adventurer.
"Roman, you're doing well, keep it up—" Brando silently encouraged with his lips.
Miss Merchant nodded hurriedly, her movements were very small, but she could not hide the pride in her heart.
Brando gave way to Roman, and his eyes fell on Freya behind him. The girl seemed to know her state and couldn't help but lower her head. The young man sighed silently when he saw this scene, this future Valkyrie was not the most outstanding in terms of talent in any aspect - intelligence, judgment, mental intelligence, and physical intelligence, as if it had been invisibly decided that she must be an ordinary person.
But only Brando understands that she must have some potential that will allow her to one day achieve that legendary name.
He couldn't help but look at the other party carefully, and when the other party lowered his head, he revealed a long light brown hair, which was sparse and suitable, and the hair was soft, and it seemed that he had been carefully taken care of by her owner. It's not elaborate, but it's detailed.
By this time, Freya had passed him with her body crunched. The girl didn't say a word, only the long ponytail rose and fell with her movements, as if to express her unyielding heart—Brando knew that this belonged to a unique stubbornness.
His heart moved: "Freya." ”
Freya was in front of the action for a pause.
"You're too nervous, relax."
"I'm sorry, I ......"
"It's okay."
"Do you see that rock up ahead, it's time for us to split up from here. You hide behind there, and when the patrol passes by, you must be the first to distract the last two Treants. ”
Freya nodded.
"You go first, I'm here to watch you, Freya, I'm sure you can do well." Brando rolled over, lay on his side in a pile of rubble, and gestured to her.
The girl finally couldn't help but show a look of surprise. This was different from the pre-arrangement, but she was not a fool, and she knew that Brando was here to cheer her up, and her heart was slightly moved - but at this time, she could only purse her lips and nod heavily.
Brando breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Freya continue to move forward, moving a little more calmly.
In fact, this kind of on-the-spot reaction is very normal, and there are not many people who are really as talented as Roman. He turned his head and saw that Miss Merchant, too, had stopped to look at him, and with a curious expression, he couldn't help but make a gesture to her to move on.
It's a pity that this psychological element here is first-class, but his thinking is too abnormal. Speaking of which, Freya is more reliable, and he is still looking forward to the day when the future Valkyrie grows up.
Freya soon arrived at the intended position, and the patrol had only just passed half the valley, and nothing had gone wrong in the middle—in fact, there could have been no problem, but the girl herself was too nervous. However, Brando was a bit of a problem at this point, as it had been a little delayed to stay and encourage Freya, and now that the Tree Man had gone around half a circle and was entering their ambush range, he would likely be spotted at this distance.
However, Brando is Brando after all, and he has controlled the route and timing to the best without any mistakes. When he climbed to Roman's side, even he couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat, he was too nervous, but at least he didn't let the love xù affect his play - it was still the same as in the game, perfect.
Roman watched him sweat profusely and hurriedly pulled out a plaid handkerchief from his bag and handed it to him. She didn't speak, but her mind was clear—Brando saw the checkered handkerchief, and vaguely remembered that it was a handmade item from the Viero region to the north, and that Buche rarely saw a similar good—and it was one of the Merchant's favorite collections.
"Thank you." He thanked him word by word with his mouth.
"It should be me who thank you, Brando." Miss Roman held her bag in both hands and replied seriously, "Isn't it dangerous for a while, and some things may not have a chance to be said, right?" That's why I'm going to tell you - thank you, Brando. ”
Brando was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.
In a moment, the six-headed demon tree man was already approaching, and the three of them could hear the rustling of footsteps getting closer and closer even though they were hiding behind the sharp rocks. The Devil Tree people use some muffled notes to convey information, and the communication between them and the mother is only done through the guò mind.
Brando saw Freya draw her sword, and she wrapped the blade in her clothes so that the reflection would not cause the other party to be wary. Brando nodded, at least this could tell that Freya was no longer the little girl with no ideals a few days ago. He immediately made a gesture, which means: I go first, you sneak attack.
Freya frowned, the other party always took over the most dangerous part of the work, which made her a little uneasy, and at the same time a little unconvinced. But even so, she still knew that this was the most suitable, so she could only nod helplessly.
The Treants made their way through the underside of a rocky headland that stretched out of the ground, and then they stopped, searching in all directions, and emitted a series of strange notes to communicate. Brando pulled out the Thorn of Light, shielded Roman with one hand, and sent an attack signal to Freya-
At this moment, those Tree Men should be on their backs, and they are spread out widely, and this is the best time to attack.
Brando rushed out first, his first target being the adult Tree Man. Then there was Freya, who drew her sword and rushed to the back of the Tree Treemen's ranks, her target being the two heirs of the Golden Tree who were standing relatively close.
The Treants at the back of the line are usually on guard, so they are the quickest to react. The moment the two Treants noticed Freya, they turned around and let out a low growl, their bodies spread, and four vines thrust in like jabs—the vines let out a screech through the air.
But Freya blocked the four tightropes with both hands, and the Wind Feather shone to protect her, causing her to leap up and crash headfirst into the body of the first Treant - the Wind Feather dimmed for a moment, and then brightened again. But the tall monster was also caught off guard and flew straight out.
The girl remembered Brando's words at this time: "Your Wind Rear Body Armor is very restrained against them, you should let go of your hands and feet to attack-"
She gritted her teeth and pounced on the fallen tree man without any defense, and the power of the storm immediately wanted to blow her out - Freya knew that her power was limited and could be thrown out at any moment. She clenched her sword in both hands and raised it high, and slashed it down with a single aim at the demon treeman's right arm.
With a soft sound, his right arm fluttering with vines flew up for a long time. But Freya was also thrown out, and as soon as she got up, another magic tree was whipped and rolled on the ground several times, and although the wind protected her, the impact still caused the girl to cough up blood.
The fallen Tree Man would not be able to recover for a while, and Freya knew that her remaining enemies were only one. But she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and couldn't find any opportunity to attack for a while.
She couldn't help but take a soft breath.
On the other side, Brando struck the enemy by surprise, and the Thorn of Light was like a flying silver thread in his hand: the first sword stabbed into the right rib of the Devil Tree Man, and then swung outward, turning his right arm and several vines into ashes.
The second sword severed both of its feet, and the moment the monster lost its center of gravity and fell, the cold blade of the elven sword swept across its neck.
In the interweaving of the web of light, the adult demon tree man was wiped out.
Of course, this is because he took advantage of the raid, and the rest has to find a way. But in fact, Brando also had a plan, and he immediately put away his sword and retreated as soon as he hit it, how could those overgrown monsters who had lost their companions just give up, and the three-headed demon tree man immediately roared and followed.
Brando was waiting for this moment—the three creeping monsters subconsciously lined up in a straight line as they chased him through a narrow path—but what awaited them was the gleaming silver ring in Brando's hand.
“Oss!”
********
Freya heard a terrible pop coming from the back left, and she knew it was Brando's hand. She couldn't help but feel relieved, but at the same time she noticed that the enemy in front of her was stunned by the massive sonic boom.
As a young man from the countryside of Buchi, she certainly didn't understand how much of an impact this sound burst had on the sound-sensitive Demon Tree People - the loud sound almost made them lose their judgment of the outside world, as if the whole world was filled with a vast white light, and there was nothing left in the white light.
But she knew it was an opportunity, and that was enough. She raised her longsword, which was so corroded that it almost broke, that it slashed at the Treant's legs.
The short battle seems to have come to an end with this sword.
There was a crunch, and the Devil Treeman's tall body split into two parts along with her long sword. Freya could barely believe she had succeeded, and she opened her mouth to see Roman panting and wringing a black steel sword of Madara, standing across from her.
"Roman!"
"Freya, yes, I'm sorry, Brando asked me to help you......"
The girl smiled: "It's okay, thank you." ”
Brando saw such a scene when he turned out from behind the stone headland, and he couldn't help but froze for a moment. He thought Freya was going to lose her temper, but she didn't expect her reaction to be big.
In fact, he did not arrange it all to relieve Freya's pressure, but out of tactical considerations. Because the focus of this raid was on the side of the pony-tailed girl, the focus of the entire Devil Tree Patrol was on their commander, the adult Devil Treeman, and the two Devil Tree Men who were in charge of guarding the rear of the team.
As long as he restrains the Treants who are in charge of vigilance, Brando can easily surprise and kill the adults and divert the remaining Treants to implement their plans. Instead of giving the opponent a chance to put themselves in position and launch a counterattack. Otherwise, the six long-range monsters, even if Brando's level is increased by five levels, they may not be able to protect Freya and Roman.
But he was worried about how to explain, but he didn't expect Freya to seem to understand.
"Why isn't the Golden Tree moving?" The future Valkyrie would also see him, and she asked, "Can't it move?" ”
Brando was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses. He shook his head, of course the Golden Demon Tree was not motionless, on the contrary, in fact, the moment they launched their attack and attracted the attention of the Golden Demon Tree, the terrifying monster's counterattack had already begun.
It's just quiet.
"We'll have a minute, and I'll explain to you how to deal with the Golden Demon Tree. Listen carefully if you don't want your soul to be imprisoned in the Golden Tree forever. He replied.
