Chapter 46: The Scramble
Judging from the location of Shen Xia and Fang Jin, the tree spirit that suddenly appeared from the woods was only a mile away from them at most. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
For a professional whose body has been greatly strengthened, no matter how clumsy he is, he will not be slower than a professional athlete in the earth world when he runs at full strength. The distance of more than a mile, if you don't consider the obstacles, it will only be a matter of a minute or two for them, or even faster.
"Rush!"
Almost without any hesitation, Shen Xia and Fang Jin jumped out of their hiding place together and rushed towards the boxwood tree.
However, others are no slower than they are!
At least three or four groups of traversers emerged from their hiding spots at about the same time, scrambling towards the same target. Some of them were far away, hundreds of steps behind Shen Xia and Fang Jin. But there were also people who were closer to the place where the boxwood tree appeared, only one or two hundred meters.
"Damn it!"
Shen Xia didn't expect that there was someone hiding under their noses, and it was closer, so he couldn't help but curse secretly. But he and Fang Jin didn't give up because of this, but accelerated to rush there.
The essence of plants and trees is contained in the body of the tree spirit, and it is not possible to take it out at once.
This means that first come may not necessarily be first served.
Not to mention, don't forget the nearby forest snowman!
The forest snowman, who was searching for the remnants of humanity, was furious when he didn't expect so many people to suddenly jump out. In particular, the Taoist priest who rushed to the tree spirit first attracted the greatest hatred of the forest snowman.
Almost immediately, three forest snowmen roared after him!
Among them, including the forest snowman who had already discovered Shen Xia and Fang Jin before.
Seeing this scene, Shen Xia couldn't help but move in his heart.
He immediately grabbed Fang Jin, still looking like he was sprinting on the surface, but secretly slowed down. In the current situation, the first person to rush forward may be the most unlucky, and finally make a wedding dress for someone else. is like the first rebel at the end of the feudal dynasty, but it is often not them who finally founded a new dynasty, and they end up as a "pioneer for the king".
However, not everyone has the strength and ability to keep a cool head in the face of temptation.
While Shen Xia and Fang Jin slowed down, someone was speeding up.
For example, the LV5 Taoist priest who rushed out first. This level is a well-deserved first among the current Ginkgo Village traverser group. Shen Xia may not know him, but he definitely knows his name - Hong Tianqi!
The first master in the Taoist Academy to become a Taoist, and he completed the transfer within three months and activated his special ability.
He is also the enemy of Shang Wu in the parchment!
Of course, to be the first Taoist priest to change jobs, and the level is as high as LV5, Hong Tianqi will naturally not be reckless. He dared to rush forward first, and he still dared to ignore it even when he was discovered by several forest snowmen, so he naturally had something to rely on. It's not just the random teleportation scroll on his body, but also his special ability.
In the pursuit of at least four waves of traversers, Hong Tianqi was the first to rush in front of the frightened boxwood tree.
After all, he is a tree spirit with only a little instinct, and he has not yet formed the wisdom to think independently. In the face of the sudden attack of humans, its first reaction was not to flee, but to re-burrow its roots into the ground, trying to disguise itself as an ordinary tree in order to deceive the approaching humans.
This ostrich-like mentality is undoubtedly deceiving itself.
Hong Tianqi was unmoved, picked up the logging axe and slashed down at the boxwood. With his strength, the Logging Axe slashed into the deepest part of the trunk. It was almost terrible, and the severe damage it received made the boxwood tree unable to hold on, and the branches and leaves shook strangely, making a strange sound similar to a human scream.
However, in response to it was Hongtianqi's harder second axe!
At this time, the forest snowman closest to him had already chased only a few dozen steps away. Including Shen Xia, Fang Jin, and the other two teams nearby, they couldn't help but pay attention to it with fear. While he was surprised that this person was so bold that he almost died, he couldn't help but worry, what if the essence of the plants and trees was really taken out by him?
The third axe, the fourth axe, the fifth axe!
Hong Tianqi almost gave up everything, ignoring the monster that was already close at hand, and cut a large section of the trunk of the boxwood tree, which was almost powerless to resist. In the center of the trunk, a touch of emerald green brilliance can already be faintly seen, full of extremely pure aura.
Essence of Plants!
Hong Tianqi instantly realized that this was what he wanted.
However, his luck was so bad after all. Aware of the idea of the humans trying to attack the essence of the plants and trees, the boxwood seemed to realize that a catastrophe was coming. Without it, it would be unable to move, become like a normal tree, and could even wither and die on the spot from being hit hard!
The instinctive reaction to the crisis of destruction made the boxwood finally make a weak counterattack.
It changed its previous futile camouflage, pulled the roots out of the ground again, and then pumped the Hung Tianqi several meters out at once.
If it is a precautionary situation, this dryad will naturally not succeed. But Hong Tianqi ignored the tree, half of his attention was on the essence of the plants and trees in front of him, and the other half was focused on the forest snowman who was about to rush to his side. Just such a little negligence made him pass by the essence of plants and trees that was only one step away.
"Just one step away!"
The moment he was pumped away, the chagrin in Hong Tianqi's heart reached the point of no return. But seeing the forest snowman who was already close, Hong Tianqi knew that he had missed the best opportunity. With his current LV5 strength, he may be able to entangle with one forest snowman, but he can never be the opponent of three forest snowmen.
After sighing regretfully, his body moved, and suddenly turned into a mysterious yellow light, falling straight into the ground. About a second later, it broke through the ground dozens of paces away.
Then don't look at it, turn around and leave quickly!
"It's ...... Retreat? ā
Seeing this magic skill that was similar to that that only level 43 Dao Priests in "World of Legends" could learn, and could be used to hunt down and save lives, both Shen Xia and the others were stunned.
With such a life-saving ability in hand, combined with the already strong survival power of the Taoist, it is even difficult to die!
No wonder this guy is so confident.
However, what surprised Shen Xia even more was this person's decision. After the first blow failed, even if there was still a chance, he still left decisively, without the slightest greed.
Such a person will almost certainly be able to grow up to be a fearsome master!
Secretly vigilant, Shen Xia was relieved at least at this moment. Without the nearest Hongtianqi, the probability of him and Fang Jin snatching the essence of plants and trees was much greater.
A hundred steps away!
Seeing that he thought he was going to die, he fled in unison, and the forest snowman was almost strangely angry. Two of them chased after them relentlessly, while the other turned their heads and stared at Shen Xia and Fang Jin.
"I'm going to lure it away!"
Fang Jin, who was holding a random scroll, emboldened himself and took the initiative to ask for his life. With his LV3 vitality and the defensive aura blessed by the cloth, as long as he is not hit by the vital point, even if he accidentally takes a blow, he will not be instantaneous, and he has enough time to open a random scroll to escape.
