Chapter 107: Breakthrough in the Forest
For an alchemist, the biggest temptation is nothing more than high-grade alchemy materials and rare alchemy formulas, so many herbs growing in this forest, although not as valuable as the fire rose, but also very precious, where can Noel still bear it, and ran over with a little short leg.
"Slow down, Knorr!" An Xu hurriedly stopped, this forest is completely unknown area, and it is a taboo for mercenaries to rush in unprepared.
Noel stopped on the other side of the bridge, he was also carried away by various herbs, as soon as An Xu woke him up, he immediately reacted, standing in place and urging An Xu to hurry up.
And just here, An Xu's pupils shrank, and he reminded loudly: "Be careful behind." โ
Knorr's heart tightened, and before he could make any movements, he heard the sound of breaking the air behind him, and then he was hit by something and flew out.
With a quick eye, An Xu charged to meet it, pulling it back the moment Noll fell off the stone bridge.
"It's dangerous!" An Xu glanced at the black crack under the bridge with trepidation, it was no joke to fall into such a place in the cave.
At this time, Noel finally had the opportunity to observe his attacker, but when he turned around, he was dumbfounded.
"Is this a tree?"
It turned out that at the position of his combat power just now, a tree that had been 'stepped on' the ground with its roots was now holding its branch high and facing him, and the reason why it was certain that it was positive was because it had a realistic human face texture on its bark.
The pitch-black eyes and the long beard with the roots make it look like a sturdy old man.
"Don't be careless, this is a wild tree man, very aggressive." Since Bingyan had just appeared, he was still paying attention to the surrounding situation at this time, and immediately reminded An Xu.
"The other party has shot directly, do you need to talk about aggressiveness?" An Xu pulled Noel back and looked at this strange enemy, Tree Man? Is this a tree that looks like a man, or is it a man who looks like a tree?
This tree man is two people tall, and the thick branches give An Xu a strong sense of oppression, An Xu decided to withdraw temporarily, but the people behind him didn't know the situation below, and they still fell down one after another.
When Fanny, who was at the end of the line, landed, she saw Anxu and Noel retreating one after another, and directly behind them, a 'big tree' was coming towards them with its roots.
"My God, even the tree has become fine." Doudou rubbed his eyes and said.
An Xu gestured as he retreated, asking them to return along the road, and at this moment, the huge stone pillar suddenly rose up again, blocking the entrance to the cave tightly.
"Oops, let's see if we can open the hole again, I'll try this guy's strength." An Xu gritted his teeth and raised his shield to meet the tree man.
Seeing An Xu rushing over, the tree man seemed to have no expression, lifted a thick branch, and swept over stiffly, the speed was not very fast, An Xu had the intention to test it, and did not dodge and resisted.
To An Xu's surprise, the strength of this tree man seemed to be only about three stars, and under the full impact of his own strength, it was the larger one that retreated.
Such a big man, but not as strong as An Xu imagined.
"No, this pillar just won't come down, and it's useless for Xu Wei to get out of the horse." Doudou shouted from behind him.
"Wait, this guy seems to be easy to deal with." An Xu was not so anxious, this tree man was a little thicker in skin and flesh, and his own blade could only cut off a few pieces of wood chips, but the other attributes were not high.
An Xu estimated that with the firepower configuration of his entire team, he would be able to take care of it soon.
And this tree man looks full of weaknesses, looking at its appearance, you can know that it is very afraid of flames, but An Xu and the others beat it all over the group, and in the end they didn't even use fire attacks, and they cut it into pieces of wood with a few swords.
"Why are all the strange things you encountered today that you haven't seen before?" Doudou crouched beside the pile of broken wood, wanting to take a closer look at the specific structure of the treeman.
"Rustle, rustleโ"
An Xu was attracted by this sound, and turned his head to look, only to see countless canopies gently shaking, as if something was shuttling through the woods.
Isn't it, there's more?
He raised his shield and stood guard at the bridge, staring closely at the gap in the trees, and sure enough, it wasn't long before another almost physically fit treeman emerged from the forest.
An Xu was about to fight, but he saw that there was a shadow shaking behind this tree man, and then one after another tree man kept walking out, densely packed, just seeing dozens of them, and the sound of 'rustling' behind him continued, obviously there were more.
An Xu's face turned green, this tree man actually lives in a group, then he is still fighting a ghost, a tree man is about equal to a two-star high-level warrior, how can his own team face countless two-star warriors besieging him?
"It's over, the way back is closed, and we're surrounded here." Su Yue exclaimed.
An Xu thought about countless thoughts in an instant, but they were all vetoed by himself one by one, fighting in this kind of place, his side has no chance of winning, even if he can rely on this small bridge to resist for a while, he will eventually be consumed by a steady stream of tree people here, God knows how many tree people are behind.
Since you can't hold it, you have to find a way to break through.
"Let's rush over, pay attention to follow me, Hongluan, your strength is the strongest, please help take care of Xu Wei." An Xu tightened the handle of the shield in his hand, ready to rush directly through the forest with the team.
Hongluan nodded slightly, moved to Xu Wei's side, and protected the empty seat beside her.
"It's now, let's rush together!" Seeing that everyone was ready, An Xu's muscles tensed, and he carried the shield in front of him and slammed forward brutally.
The two tree men who had just rushed to the head of the bridge were directly knocked off the small bridge by An Xu and fell into the bottomless crack.
"Bang, bang!" An Xu felt like he was hitting one hard stone after another, and he didn't struggle very hard at first, but after knocking back several tree people, he was a little tired.
These tree people seemed to be endless, and he didn't have time to breathe.
In this pitch-black environment, An Xu couldn't even tell which were the attacks of the tree people and which were ordinary branches, so he could only rush forward with his own feelings.
The treemen kept swinging at his shield, smashing the shield with a muffled sound, and in the confusion, An Xu's shoulder and arm were hit by the treeman several times, as if he had been swept with an iron rod, and the pain was so painful that he almost couldn't hold the shield steadily.
The worst thing is that he can't discern the direction at all, and he doesn't know how big the forest is, and he is not even sure if there is a way out on the other side of the woods, which is undoubtedly desperate.
For a moment, An Xu wondered if it was right for him to give up his defense and lead everyone into the woods.
Seeing that the tree people in front of him were still surging, Noel couldn't help but be a little anxious, and shouted: "If you don't need to attack with fire, I feel that everyone can't support it." โ
"Wait!" An Xu gritted his teeth, setting fire in this kind of dense woods is no different from burning jade, if there is a mage in the team, at least he can control the direction of the spread of the fire.
Now An Xu is paying more and more attention to the importance of mages, take the previous battle with Thousand Feet as an example, if there is a mage, a high burst spell at that wound can almost instantly hit that monster, where is the need to risk using a thunderbolt?
Suddenly, An Xu felt a lighten of pressure, and the number of tree people in front of him became smaller.
There is hope! An Xu was overjoyed in his heart, and his already exhausted body burst out with a force again, speeding up and crashing forward.
"Keep it up, I feel like I'm about to rush out!" He kicked a staggering tree man away, not forgetting to cheer everyone behind him.
At this moment, An Xu suddenly found that there was a clearing in the woods in front of him, and in this environment full of trees, a bare land suddenly appeared, and it was difficult not to notice it.
And when An Xu and the others stepped on this clearing, the tree man who was chasing after them stopped and retreated like a tide, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
