The flames erupted from the magic array like a python wrapped around the body of the giant tree that was approaching the Shuzi Lake step by step, and the fire spread rapidly above the rattan, and it was still climbing upward. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Even when those flames appear on the moving giant tree, they are so small that they are difficult to detect. But as a giant tree itself, it can't turn a blind eye to the burning pain that really exists in its body.

"Roar!!"

Under the severe pain, the giant tree, which had already divided its face, let out an angry roar. Yet, apart from extinguishing the fire with rattans and blades, it did not stop in pursuing the trail of the fire-starter. It just picked up its pace and continued on its own way.

"Hey, mage, your attack doesn't seem to be working." Yu Yi turned back to the silver-haired woman and said, in his imagination, as soon as the silver-haired man made a move, he should have let the enemy die in the fire in a moment. However, he knew very well that if a shield warrior like himself faced this tree boss who had been secretly obscuring, he really had no way to start.

I don't know if it was provoked by his words, the silver-haired woman cast a spell with both hands at the same time, and within a moment, she sent out more than a dozen bursts of flame towards the giant tree. None of these fire spells missed, and each one hit the giant tree with precision.

‘-59’

‘-68’

‘-54’

……

The string of purple magic damage looks quite impressive, but in the end it is the same. The flames were scattered by the leaves on the "hand" of the giant tree, and fell in all directions, damaging the surrounding trees that were already dying.

But after some bombardment, the giant tree still had no intention of fighting back. It just carried the black smoke on its body, and continued to move forward step by step.

The silver-haired woman also gasped slightly after the attack just now. "It's not that it doesn't work, it's forbearing." She said.

If this was said from her mouth, Yu Yi would not suspect that it was a nonsense made up to save face. Although the two had only met tonight, he had already recognized her meticulous nature in his short time together.

"Forbearance? But why? Does it have other goals? Although he believed it, Yu Yi didn't figure out the motive of the giant tree for a while. But let's look at where it's headed...... No, a not-so-good thought flashed through his mind.

"Its target seems to be Shuzi Lake." The silver-haired woman was the first to tell his guess. As soon as she finished speaking, countless rattans were already interspersed from the forest, rushing straight towards the deep black lake.

These rattans obviously came from that giant tree, and no matter whether his guess was correct or not, Yu Yi couldn't help but shout: "Stop those rattans!" At the same time, he drew his sword and rushed forward. But it was difficult to do so at his speed, so he pinned his hopes on the silverhead.

The female mage frowned, her expression a little heavy, but the speed at which she formed the magic circle with her hands did not slow down in the slightest. In just a few seconds, a raging wave of fire erupted from the red magic array.

The moment the fire struck, more than half of the rattan was burned to ashes by the flames. In this case, magic is far more practical than the sword in the hands of the warriors.

It took Yu Yi a lot of effort to cut off more than a dozen rattans, and the amount of the silver-haired woman's fire magic that was destroyed in an instant was several times that of his. Seeing this, he didn't bother to compete with the fire tide for prey anymore, so he simply stopped and watched. Of course, only a few fish that slipped through the net will be his turn to do it.

"Yinhair, it's good to have you here today, otherwise it will be troublesome." He turned to the female mage behind him. But when he turned around, he didn't notice that something was quietly extending in the ashes of the rattan behind him.

As for Silver Hair, in the face of the other party's words, she just let out a long breath and turned her gaze to the side lightly. And it was this unintentional movement that made her discover the hidden movement behind the shieldman. "Nordion! Behind you! She shouted.

And at the same moment as she shouted, the rattan that had been hidden in the ashes also gave up its disguise, and suddenly accelerated towards the Shuzi Lake in front of her.

"Behind me?" Yu Yi reacted immediately and turned to look. But it was too late, and the rattan had already plunged headlong into the lake. Looking at its gurgling appearance, it is obvious that it is pumping out the lake.

"Damn! Sure enough, it was the same as I guessed! Yu Yi drew his sword and slashed at the rattan, "The so-called dark baptism of the old tree may not be a lie. It's just that the black water of this lake is not the baptism that unicorns need to advance, but what it needs. ”

His sword slashed at the rattan, but to his surprise, the rattan was not cut as easily as before. Perhaps it has come into contact with the foul waters of the Black Lake, and the rattan seems to have been greatly strengthened.

【Half-Spin Slash】

Once again, he used his most familiar combat skills, and finally, with the cooperation of the sword blade, the rattan was cut off and flowed out of the inky black lake in it. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, another series of rattans emerged from the forest and plunged into the lake. This time, they were several times faster than before, and even the silver-haired woman's fire magic didn't have time to strike.

"Roar!!"

A deafening roar came from the giant tree's maws, and it seemed to be cheering for itself as if it had succeeded in its conspiracy. After it sucked into the water of the longed-for black tree, its whole body, from the rhizome to the leaves, was filled with strength. Of course, the most intuitive change is that this lush hundred-year-old tree has dyed itself a strange black color at this time.

"This sucks!" Seeing Lao Shu's actions at this time, Yu Yi could already guess the cause and effect of this incident. The old tree took advantage of the eagerness of the cloud-winged birdhill and the unicorn girl to advance, and lured them into a lie little by little, turning Shuzi Lake into what it is today. And at this time, it can sit on the fisherman's profit.

As for now, Yu Yi also understood what this giant tree had painstakingly wanted to get. Strength. Although the water of this dark Shuzi Lake has turned it into an unrecognizable monster, it has to be admitted that its strength has been greatly enhanced in this way.

This can be seen from the fact that the silver-haired flames are constantly burning the rattan at this time. But in the end, the rattans were also taken back, not for fear of being cut and burned, but simply because they had pumped enough water out of the lake.

Today, this giant tree can no longer be called a tree. In the process of just ascending, it also grows more obvious "hands and feet", which are already the facial features on the trunk. It has become a true Dryad, perhaps as it can be called when it can move through rhizomes, but the previous Dryad is not at all comparable to the Dryad at this time.

"Shw!"

Sure enough, after gaining power, the dryad finally had time to pay homage to the two of them who had been greeting it before that. Its heavy vines whipped away at the two standing on the side.

"Be careful!" Yu Yi picked up the unicorn girl who was still in a daze and hid aside. With this level of attack, he naturally wouldn't be interested in carrying a shield to clash head-on, and his whole person was not as thick as the vine.

As for the silver-haired woman on the side, her battle mage didn't need to worry about him. Without the burden of a unicorn, it's not hard to dodge such a cumbersome attack.

However, in the next second, when he saw the dryad walking towards this side, stretching out more rattans, Yu Yi was a little uneasy. A single tree vine is indeed easy to dodge, but if it is such a dense attack, it is difficult to say.

"Mage, do you still have any magic? Don't hide it at this time, use it quickly. He turned around and quickly called for help.

Seeing that the dryad had become more and more accustomed to the new power, the silver-haired woman was naturally like water. But all day today, she has been constantly consuming her magic power without any replenishment. Originally, she wanted to hide in this dense forest and meditate for a while, but she didn't expect the explorers to find her again, and she had to give up her plan to meditate.

The previous battle with the Blackbird Monster Tree consumed a lot of mana, and she knew that the mana in her demon source was now pitiful. But the enemy in front of her is impossible to give her time to recover, and she must also fight, after all, the current Nordion is completely unreliable. She must rely on the only magic she has to deal a fatal blow to the dryad in one go!

"Nordion, get out of the way." She shouted.

Yu Yi was already accustomed to his new name that had been forcibly detained, and his reaction quickly dodged away from the front of the mage. When he looked at the female mage again, the expression on his face couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

A huge magic circle lit up under the feet of the silver-haired woman in the magic circle, and when it bloomed with an aggressive red light, it also made countless magical fire elements rejoice in the circle. What amazed him the most was that the silver-haired woman's long, lonely silver hair, actually climbed up from the end to a bright red at this time, as if it was soaked in the rich fire element.

And the mage who is concentrating on concluding magic naturally doesn't care about this. She just closed her eyes tightly, trying to complete her magic, beads of sweat sliding down her head.

Seeing the female mage looking so struggling, Yu Yi couldn't help but smack his tongue in his heart. Even if it was a magic like [Incineration Realm] before, she didn't show anything unusual when she cast the spell, but now this spell is like this. I really don't know what kind of destructive magic she'll be casting.

And while he was thinking about it, a tree vine was already rushing towards the silver-haired woman who was struggling over there. Obviously, even the dryad had already felt the dangerous aura emanating from that mage.

"It's not that easy!" Yu Yishi, who reacted in time, displayed the [Agu Shield Pendant], and the shield was erected in front of the silver-haired woman. And he himself also took advantage of the triggered [Rise Up] state to quickly come to the silver-haired woman's side.

The attack of the tree vine was defended, but Yu Yi felt the temperature coming behind him. Sure enough, the silver-haired woman specializes in destroying magic, and even though she is still in the process of concluding magic, after getting closer, he still feels the threat of those restless fire elementals. He kind of understood why she told herself to get out of the way.

But even if he was really injured by these fire elements, he couldn't leave here half a step. As for the dryad, he still has little certainty that he can rely on himself to defeat it. At this point, the most feasible way is to rely on the female mage behind you to defeat it. So, during the time she contracted the magic, he had to protect her, wasn't that what the shield man did?

'Accurate Block, Damage Greatly Reduced, -24'

'Precision Block,......-19'

‘……，-23’

After Yu Yi stubbornly resisted a few powerful vine blows, he saw that his blood volume had bottomed out, and what was even more fatal was that he was in the last attack. The power of the vine actually knocked the shield to the side.

Seeing that the next attack is coming, if you pick up the shield at this time, you will undoubtedly expose the unsuspecting silver-haired woman to the enemy's attack. And if there is no shield, let alone the situation that he is still in residual blood, even if he has more than half of his blood, he may not be able to resist the attack of the tree vine.

glanced at the silver-haired woman behind her, although she was a new friend she had only met tonight. But he could feel her trust and help from the beginning to the present. Even if he is in danger at this moment, if he takes care of himself in order to save his life......

This kind of practice makes him dare not think about it himself, it is really not a thing! That would make him look down on himself!

The Shielder's Fury erupts. Without any further reason, he didn't move his body, and burst out the anger that had just been accumulated, and his free left hand also pulled out the short sword [Madness Lion of the End].

Yes, he is simply not ready to defend, he wants to fight that tree vine with the strongest attack! As long as you can cut it, you don't need to resist hard, and the silver-haired woman won't be hurt!

The two swords came out together, combined with the [Half-Spin Slash], which can be said to be his most powerful set of burst attacks as a shield warrior. The two blades dug deep into the rattan together, sliding downward little by little...... Card owner.

"Still doesn't work?" Yu Yi secretly complained bitterly, there was no way but to give up this idea and resist with his body......

At this moment, a white light suddenly appeared, and he only felt that the vine was suddenly much more fragile. The resistance of the blade also disappeared inexplicably, and the double blade was all in the end, and the attack of the tree vine was finally disintegrated.

When the crisis was over, he turned his head to look. I saw that the unicorns on the side were panting. It was the unicorn girl who led the light magic condensed by her kind, helping him complete his defense.

They didn't stop, and the white light on the horn lit up again, and the condensed white light fell on him. In a matter of moments, his health was full.

He smiled and nodded to the unicorns, who were so tired that they collapsed to the ground. However, with the pollution of Shuzi Lake, they are no longer the powerful monsters of the past.

Well, with the current state, even if you don't have a shield, you should still be able to resist another wave of attacks! He had just decided, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a sound that could not be more pleasant in his ears:

"Nordion, leave the rest to me."

Naturally, she was a silver-haired woman, and at this time, most of her hair color was dyed crimson. She faced the dryad, raised her hands and slowly opened her mouth, "Eternal Sleep Fire Rain!" ”
