Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Dryad

The Black Forest was not a large area, and there were half-abhorrence sweeping any obstacles along the way, so the walk was particularly smooth, and there was no trouble on the way, the edge of the Black Forest was bordered by a clearing of absenteeism, probably because of its proximity to the forest, the vegetation did not grow, compared to the rest of the place there was some desolation, there were a lot of gravel on the ground, and the sparse wild grass grew in clusters in the east and west, and most of them were yellow.

At the end of the wasteland, there was indeed a ruin of a small scale, about a dozen collapsed houses, among which there were also a few self-made simple canopies, and there were tattered tricycles and motorcycles outside, and several middle-aged people were holding saws, and they were laboriously sawing wood, they heard the movement from the woods, and immediately raised their heads just to see Xiao Yu and his party coming out. The men immediately stopped what they were doing, and all of them looked at each other with strange expressions, and some of them had already found weapons such as axes.

There are actually people in this place, but this settlement is too small, and it is normal that Xiao Yu didn't find it when he came to explore the way. This place looks like a small county or a small town, the houses are no more than three or four stories high, and the appearance is simple, uneven, and it does not look like a big city. The people are also dark-skinned and look like people who often do farm work.

After a few minutes of confrontation, all the people on the other side came out, about a hundred, a dozen women and children, ragged and unkempt, exactly the most fashionable beggar dress in modern times. A dark-skinned, gray-haired man who looked like a bitter peasant walked out, looked at the person in front of him vigilantly, and shouted: "This is our place, what are you doing here, leave!" Don't fight the ghost idea, otherwise Lao Tzu will be unkind to you! ”

His pronunciation is extremely non-standard, Xiao Yu and Jiang Xiaowen are southerners, and it can be roughly judged that this is a dialect somewhere in the south. Although some words are not well understood, it is not difficult to understand from the tone of the other party, the attitude of these people is not friendly, many people have taken up arms, and there are blades dropped by monsters in weapons, and some are simply hoes, firewood knives and the like.

Du Tao immediately raised his hands and went up to negotiate with these people, indicating that he was just passing by here, and there was absolutely no idea of violating. The peasants listened with disbelief, and finally when they saw that most of these people were carrying bulging backpacks, and they didn't want to invade no matter how they looked, their expressions eased a little.

When he first came out to speak, the poor peasant-like man shouted: "Pass by, pass by, we never accept strangers here for the night, you go at once!" ”

Du Tao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Okay, let's go!" ”

Xiao Yu didn't have the idea of staying, so he didn't bother to speak, and walked towards the woods at the other end with the others.

Seeing that they were walking so happily, the people who looked like bitter peasants couldn't help but be slightly stunned and said, "Are you really passing by here?" ”

Wang Chao rolled his eyes, "Nonsense, look at you here, you are poor and poor, even if the fat man wants to do a robbing business, he will not come here!" ”

The bitter peasant-looking man glanced back at the others, hinting that everyone had laid down their weapons one after another, and said with a sneer: "My name is Zhou Fu, are you really passing by?" Where are you going? ”

Wang Chao was a little impatient, "It's your business, you wanted to drive us away just now, are you going to rely on us to let us go now?" ”

"Hehehe...... Zhou Fu laughed dryly, "No, no, we are very familiar with this place, we can send you on a journey, and it will be much safer on the way." ”

Wang Chao was annoyed when he heard it, "Feelings, you guy, are you still afraid that we won't leave?" ”

Zhou Fu smiled again, but the eyes on the wrinkled dark old face were extremely bright, and a hint of cunning flashed faintly.

Du Tao hurriedly persuaded Wang Chao away, smiled politely at Zhou Fu, and said sincerely: "Uncle, we really didn't lie to you. But if you can lead us away and avoid some danger, we would be grateful. ”

Zhou Fu did not hesitate when he heard this, and turned around to greet seven or eight strong young men, each holding a weapon and about to lead the way for everyone. Du Tao and the others were very surprised, they didn't expect that these farmers would really do what they said, but with local acquaintances leading the way, they could also encounter a lot of dangers on the way, and no one had any objections, only Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xiao Yu's instincts told him that this seemingly honest old farmer could not be trusted.

If he is really worried that everyone will not leave, then he must be wary of him, and he is deeply afraid that it will be a group of gangsters. In that case, how could he dare to lead the way with only six or seven people? Aren't you afraid that in the middle of the way, this group of people will suddenly turn around and kill a few people, and then kill them back to their gathering place?

But thinking about it, Xiao Yu is not easy to say.

Under the leadership of Zhou Fu, more than 100 people slowly entered the forest, and it was really convenient for someone to lead the way, and there was no shadow of half a monster at all along the way. After walking for about an hour and a half, everyone entered a particularly dense wood, and at this time Zhou Fu and the others were already a little tired, and sat down to rest on a section of tree roots.

At this time, Sun Fei exclaimed in surprise, "Look, there is a big fruit tree in front, so many fruits, how can we not only eat the delicious taste of Master Sun Dazhu tonight, but also taste the taste of fresh fruits." Hahaha...... Wait, I'll pick it. ”

He said as he ran in the direction of the fruit tree in the woods.

There is indeed a big fruit tree in the woods, more than 20 meters high, the crown is like an umbrella, very huge, and this red and attractive fruit hangs between the branches.

Xiao Yu glanced at the tree, keenly aware of a trace of strangeness, he glanced back at Zhou Fu, just in time to see these people secretly retreating, when Xiao Yu saw it, they immediately screamed and ran back.

"Sun Fei, stop!"

Xiao Yu's face changed as if he had come to his senses, and hurriedly shouted.

Sun Fei just shouted, "Wait, I'll pick it up right away." He had already run to the bottom of the big tree, and his mouth was still babbling: "It's so hot, it's good to eat a few wild fruits to quench your cravings......

Without warning, a huge tree root burst out of the ground, like a spear piercing Sun Fei's chest and penetrating out of his back, forcibly interrupting the words in his mouth. Everyone was shocked, and Tian Hongguang and his wife screamed in surprise.

Sun Fei's eyes widened, and before he could react, two more roots broke through the ground, piercing his body, followed by a third, and a fourth...... A dozen roots in quick succession blew him up into a hornet's nest in less than a second!

No blood flowed out, because in an instant, all of his blood was sucked clean, leaving no trace behind.

The tree came to life in an instant, and hundreds of roots and vines moved, surrounding everyone from all directions, and the emerald vines and barbed roots flying in the sky were like countless hideous arms, which made people feel fearful.

"Dryad, this is a monster of the late first order!" Xiao Yu took out his war knife and said angrily: "Damn, that old bastard really wants to harm us, everyone retreat!" ”

A flame blast took shape in his left hand, and with a little reach, a fiery fireball blasted through the trees towards the dryad. Hundreds of roots and vines quickly intertwined, forming a thick net, and the Flame Explosion Technique exploded on it, and all of them were blown to pieces with a bang, and the dryad body was not damaged much.

The dryad was hit hard, and it jumped like thunder, and when the earth shook, countless blue-green vines emerged from the ground, entangled a large number of people in the blink of an eye, and sharp and sharp branches and roots shot out one after another to attack everyone, and a considerable number of them were coming towards Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu fought and smashed all the roots of the attacking trees,

Yun Yun shot a rocket, and the powerful arrow was deeply inserted into the dryad's drive, and the flame power scorched a large piece, and the dryad suffered a blow and suffered a lot of injuries. It realized that Yun Yun might also cause a lot of damage, and immediately mobilized more than a dozen tree roots to shoot towards Yun Yun one after another.

Yun Yun reacted very quickly, immediately took a step back, and several eagle team members on both sides immediately stood up and picked up weapons to help her defend, but in the process of resisting, one of the eagle team members was accidentally penetrated into the left chest by a tree root, piercing the heart, and was drained of blood and died, Yun Yun was whipped in the back by a waving branch, and was directly broken two ribs, spitting out a mouthful of blood and falling to the ground.

Fortunately, the eyes behind her were quick, and she grabbed her and pulled hard, and the ground where she was was was pierced by a wooden thorn instead of her.

The people of the third team saw the strength of the tree demon, and they didn't dare to fight back one after another, a pair of sharp claws in Han Kexin's hand danced like the wind, and the cold light of the Dao Dao formed a sharp network, tearing apart any vine rhizome that tried to get close, but although her combat power was not low, after all, it was only the first level, and when Xiao Yu's side attracted most of the attention of the wood demon, it was just enough to protect herself.

Jiang Xiaowen, Jin Shi, and Wang Chao quickly dispatched, Jiang Xiaowen consumed too much spiritual power in the Black Forest not long ago, and was no longer able to call for half-abomination, so she could only dance a spear in her hand, and the cold gun wind with an amazing momentum descended from the sky to kill the tree demon.

Jin Shi and Wang Chao stood together, Jin Shi had entered a completely lithified state, roaring and approaching the Dryad, constantly whipped by vines on his body, but he did not leave any traces, and the roots of the trees were also blocked from the hard body, but he was the fastest person to approach the Dryad.

Jin Shi raised his hammer and was about to attack, when suddenly five or six vines fell down and tied his right arm, and then a large number of tree roots broke out from under his feet, wrapping Jin Shi like a rice dumpling, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and two small tree roots pierced towards the only weakness in his body.

Seeing this, Wang Chao hurriedly roared, and the blood light on the mace bloomed into a blood-red shockwave that blasted the golden stone out, this level of damage could not cause him any damage, but it was enough to shatter all the roots and vines wrapped around his body.
