Chapter 171: The Polluted Forest (7)

After encountering the second adventurer who turned into an undead, Chen Kai's alert level became even higher. Because there is a very bad thought in everyone's mind, that is, maybe they are marching towards the ruined elf.

In fact, even a few elven mages didn't want to go to Teramis, even though they were former elven companions, but the problem was that they also knew that Teramis was too dangerous. Although a fallen demon dominates the corpse is very valuable to study, the problem is that the other party has been falling for a long time. That long time is enough for the power in the corpse to gradually escape, and a large number of demonic creatures or demonized plants are born in the surrounding area. In fact, Chen Kai and the others already felt that there were some problems with the surrounding environment, although the towering giant trees were still the same, but the branches and leaves of some trees had grown extremely twisted lines.

The so-called distorted lines are definitely not the branches of potted plants in reality that are specially pruned for good looks, but extremely strange and completely contrary to the growth characteristics of plants. The continuous rotation of branches is considered the most normal thing, and the roots that rise from the dirt and the pungent smell of air roots hanging down from the branches are densely distributed around. At the same time, the whisker-like tendrils that were intertwined together were exposed to the air, swaying as if they were capturing something in the air.

For these roots that tried to fall into his body, Chen Kai was not in the mood to let them touch, but chose to cut them off with weapons as soon as possible. However, this practice saved them from danger in disguise, because when they cut off the first roots. The roots that fell to the ground writhed in front of everyone, eventually turning into a pool of scattered ashes.

"Don't get touched by these roots!" Chen Kai shouted at the others, and at the moment when he turned his head to shout, the helmet happened to touch a few hanging roots, and the next moment everyone saw that these roots grew longer and wrapped around Chen Kai's body in an instant. The divine protection blessed on Chen Kai's body instantly burned, and at the same time, Chen Kai's fighting qi erupted at the same time, forming a fighting flame on the surface of his body. The moment these roots wrapped around Chen Kai's head, the two layers of protection directly turned them into ashes, but at that moment, everyone's ears heard a piercing scream as if the soul had been killed.

"Now you get it!" Chen Kai patted the black ash on his helmet, to be honest, he definitely didn't think that he would test the evil consequences of touching these roots as a real person, in the face of this kind of unguardable attack, it was basically difficult for non-temple professionals to resist the entanglement of the roots. At the same time, even if you are a temple professional, if you have a power that is not a divine attribute, it will be difficult to resist the entanglement of these roots. Of all of them, only four are able to resist these evil roots on their own. Priest of the Temple of Two Lives Temple. One Chen Kai and one Su Wan, that's all.

The four of them could rely on their own strength to deal with these terrifying roots, and the others were unfortunate, although there were several temple professionals, including Zhao Tiezhu, neither the Dusk Temple nor the Earth Temple had the restraint against the evil forces in terms of the fighting spirit attributes. Comparatively speaking, the effect of Hu Lansi and Fei Yuan's fighting qi on these roots in the Dusk Temple is better than that of Zhao Tiezhu, but it still can't be compared with Chen Kai's fighting qi. So after seeing the black ash on Chen Kai's helmet. All subconsciously gathered, and even a few elven mages began to gradually move closer to the center of the team.

Although several elven mages have countless ways to destroy these roots. But in the face of this strange thing, as a mage, their intuition still makes them choose to hide away in the first place. The moment when a spell cast by a few player casters lands on these roots. A few elven mages finally understood the reason for their strange instincts.

Of all the spells, only Bai Sasha's fire elemental spell had a slight effect, and the other spells were directly entangled by the roots and completely absorbed and disintegrated the moment they hit the target. This strange situation would definitely be of interest to all spellcasters elsewhere, but here they just wanted to get out of the area. And the farther away the better. Because these tendrils began to grow wildly after absorbing some magical power, and swayed in the air towards several spellcasters.

"Stand back! Melee personnel go up! Forget it, everyone get out of the way, let me come! Looking at the countless black roots flying in, Chen Kai's face became quite ugly. In the end, he gritted his teeth and swung his giant sword to the front, and the fighting qi of his whole body erupted from his body, forming an incomparably thick fighting flame on the surface of his body. During that time in the fortress, in addition to the increase in the amount of Dou Qi, Chen Kai's biggest gain may be that the quality of Dou Yan has been improved, and when Dou Flame is formed on the surface of his body, the defensive power generated by Dou Qi is at least 1,000 points higher than in the past.

When the golden flames were bubbling up and down his body, Chen Kai's giant sword swung directly towards the flying roots, and the fighting qi erupted on the blade to form a fighting qi slash that shone with a rich light. At that moment, a ray of sunlight seemed to pierce into this dim forest, and at least hundreds of the roots that flew towards Chen Kai and them were directly crushed by the Dou Qi. But even if these hundreds of roots were crushed, there were still countless roots flying towards Chen Kai's location.

However, these roots instantly turned into ashes when they touched the raging flames on Chen Kai's body, and a wail and roar continued to sound in Chen Kai's ears, but even so, it was still difficult to prevent Chen Kai from being completely surrounded by these roots. It wasn't until Chen Yi released the aura of divine purification, and the moment the aura full of divine power swept around, Chen Kai, who was almost suffocated, came back to life.

"Huhu~~~" When Chen Kai's heavy gasp sounded again, a full minute had passed since his body was covered by those roots. In fact, according to Chen Kai's original ability, he could definitely hold his breath for a longer time, even for three minutes, without any problems. But the problem is that he is not holding his breath, but he has no way to breathe, those roots cover all the ventilation ports, so that Chen Kai can't breathe at all, and Chen Kai also needs to constantly stimulate the fighting qi to avoid the body being invaded by the roots. It was this situation that led to Chen Kai's inhaled breath that could not last him long. Even if the player holds their breath for too long in the game, they will fall into a coma or even die.

"Almost didn't suffocate me!" Chen Kai suddenly turned black after panting for a few moments, and then quickly took off his hand armor, and several roots that had not been purified were wrapped around his palm. These roots were stuck in Chen Kai's skin, constantly absorbing Chen Kai's blood and Chen Kai's magic power. If it weren't for the fact that they had lost their roots and were purified by Chen Yi's divine power soon after they were exposed, it was estimated that Chen Kai would be sucked alive by these roots.

Because in less than a few seconds, that is, a few tiny roots and the loss of the foundation, Chen Kai took away nearly five hundred vitality and more than a thousand points of magic power. If Chen Kai hadn't used his fighting spirit to protect his body, then his current body would have only been a dried corpse.

"What the hell are these things?" Looking at the wound on the back of Chen Kai's hand, which was thicker than a pinhole, everyone gasped, because they could all think of the result if those countless roots were inserted into Chen Kai's body. Under the attack of this root whisker. Even the strongest armor could withstand their invasion. Only by relying on vindictive resistance can it be stopped.

"The devil knows!" Chen Kai took a few breaths, and then accepted the treatment of Feifei Wong, and these tiny wounds healed quickly under the treatment of divine arts. However, Chen Kai's lost Dou Qi and Mana needed time to recover, especially since his Dou Qi was almost completely exhausted. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let a few roots take advantage of it at the last moment.

"These things don't show up in the battle logs!" Chen Kai's most helpless place is here. The system didn't show him what he had killed at all. Similarly, Chen Yi and he did not gain any experience points. In other words, the tendrils they killed were not monsters at all, they could only be regarded as some unknown mutant plants. The most important thing is that Chen Kai and the others killed definitely not the body of the plant, so there was no system prompt.

"Let's go back a distance!" Xu Fei held the staff in his hand and looked around with a little fear. These plants, which can absorb magic and even release spells, are nightmarish for spellcasters. Only the spells cast by the fire elemental caster have a slight effect, and the mages of the other elemental systems are lambs to the slaughter in front of such roots. At the same time, the fire elemental mage can only damage these roots, and it is still difficult to burn them completely, once the magic that makes up the spell is absorbed, the fire element cannot be maintained, and eventually it will dissipate.

Of course, after saying this, Xu Fei glanced at Nero Ailu, because after all, they were hired by several elven mages to protect them to go to the elven empire, and naturally they had to obey the command of several elven mages many times. If Nero Aru and the others want to force their way forward, then everyone can only move forward.

After seeing Nero Elu nodding, Chen Kai and the others began to retreat and find a slightly open place, and everyone began to set up camp and prepare lunch. Of course, maybe this person needs to put a question mark, because after Chen Kai recovered a certain amount of fighting energy, he alone touched the forest area purified by Chen Yi's aura.

After arriving in this area, Chen Kai walked slowly towards a tree with large roots growing before, and then directly pulled out his giant sword and released a horizontal slash the moment he approached. Under the action of Chen Kai's huge force, the sharp blade slashed through the air in an arc and slashed into the tree pole, but then a piercing howl that shocked the soul made Chen Kai's whole body tremble continuously.

However, after Chen Kai survived this shocking soul scream, a smile appeared on Chen Kai's face, because he didn't receive any more attacks except for a slight decrease in his health of less than a thousand points. Because the biggest attack method of this tree is that those roots have been completely emptied, although some small roots are growing rapidly on the branches, but it is impossible for these roots to grow to the previous kind of Cheng dù for a period of time, and before that, Chen Kai can directly use the giant sword to cut down the entire tree. Because Chen Kai could cut off at least one-fifth of the tree pole with a single sword, and according to his cutting speed, it only took seven hits at most, and the thing that was named the Bloodthirsty Demon Sucking Tree in the name of the system would completely fall.

When Chen Kai's last sword broke the tree's pole, he kicked the tree pole fiercely, causing the tree to fall more than ten meters high in one direction. If in a forest with living things. His kick would have caused a lot of birds, but it had no effect on the foot of the Denzel Forest other than to shake the ground and break some branches. However, after cutting down this tree, Chen Kai gained nearly 10,000 experience points, but unfortunately, in order to obtain this 10,000 experience points, Chen Kai's health value dropped by nearly 5,000 points. The whole face was almost bleeding, because at the moment when the tree pole was cut off, the soul scream released by this demon tree was very terrifying, and it almost directly took away nearly three thousand points of Chen Kai's health.

So when Chen Kai saw the swaying branches around him, what he saw was not any empirical treasure, but a fatal time bomb. Because although these trees will only release soul screams when they are cut down, one or two Chen Kai They will definitely have no problem, but if seven or eight trees are cut down at the same time, then the people around them will be killed in an instant because of the skill of soul screaming. However, Chen Kai didn't think about cutting down these trees to upgrade. Because his biggest purpose now is not to gain experience. It's about researching what exactly these trees are, and what can be done about them.

There is no doubt that Chen Kai finally knew the names of these trees, and found a way to deal with them, but the side effects of this stupid method are a bit strict. Therefore, Chen Kai didn't think it would be a good idea to cut a path in the forest, so it would be better to wait until Chen Kai and the others cut a road. They had already died in the forest with gray hair. Oh! No, they will starve to death before they die of old age. Because there is no prey in this forest. There are no plants and fruits to feed their hunger, and the only source they can rely on is food and water stored in their backpacks.

According to Chen Kai's estimates, all the food in the backpack plus drinking water will last for three months at most, and after three months, they will basically face a situation of water and food shortage. So almost from now on, their supplies are restricted. Eating and drinking were banned, and even things like bathing with water were directly vetoed. Therefore, it took a lot of energy and time to cut down trees, and this kind of thing was thrown out of Chen Kai's mind just by thinking about it.

When Chen Kai dragged a few pieces of wood sawn down from the Bloodthirsty Demon Squire Tree back to the camp, the dried blood stains on his face under his helmet still remained. So when Chen Kai returned to the camp, everyone was scared when he took off his helmet, because the situation on his face was too scary.

"What's wrong?" Xu Fei looked at the wooden block dragged behind Chen Kai's back, and the thick wooden block exuded a very uncomfortable aura, a kind of incomparably magical aura. But even though the aura was very vague, the only thing that Nero Eru and other elven mages felt when they saw the wood was excitement. Because these woods are very rare staff materials, but after careful inspection, they found that the magic contained in this wood is too chaotic, and the effect of forcibly adjusting the wands made of zuò will be at least thirty percent worse than expected. But even so, this kind of staff made of wood has increased the power of spells by more than ten percent.

However, the enthusiasm of several elven mages for these staff materials quickly faded after they were raised, and the enthusiasm they really maintained was not for the materials in the heart of the tree, but for the bark of the tree, as they discovered that the bark of the tree could insulate magical perception. Before this tree was cut down by Chen Kai, even Nero Alu and other former legendary mages did not perceive the chaotic magic in these trees. So soon they ran to the tree that Chen Kai cut down and pulled all the bark off.

Looking at the appearance of several spellcasters holding the bark and smirking, Chen Kai and the others were a little puzzled why they were so happy, but soon Chen Kai and they reacted. Although the bark of a tree is definitely difficult for ordinary people to weave, a few elven mages can use natural spells to turn the bark into delicate plant fibers, which can then be woven into robes. Wearing such robes, the magic fluctuations of the elves' spells would be masked, and even if only half of the masking effect was retained in the end, it would be enough for Nero and Eru to finish pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.

As soon as Chen Kai thought of this, they quickly aimed at the bloodthirsty demonic trees in those dark forests, but at the thought of the terrifying screams they had to endure when cutting down the trees, Chen Kai couldn't help but shudder. Although Chen Kai was very reluctant, in the following hour, the screams of his soul that came to mind from time to time in the forest not far from the camp tormented everyone for at least an afternoon. Even the continuous soul howls on the player's body were enough to make them uncomfortable for quite a long time, so while all the warriors were resting in the tent with their heads in their hands, the casters gathered around a few elven mages and began to weave robes that would keep out magic.

In the hands of a few elven mages, the time it takes to make a robe is definitely not more than half an hour, and this also includes the time it takes them to turn the bark into a woven fiber with a spell. When the light source in the sky in the entire forest disappeared, Chen Kai and the others were able to recover from the side effects of their soul screams. (To be continued......)
