Chapter 67: Spells
The camp looked safe and sound. Everyone formed a circle and gathered around the campfire.
Before Li Ling's figure arrived, he shouted to remind everyone to be on guard. When he turned around, he saw that all the treemen had rushed out of the dense forest with him, and there were more than a dozen of them......
The supporters were frightened by the strange appearance of those trees, and in a panic, they picked up their weapons and set up the same formation as they had against the batman—spears and bows and arrows, and aimed them at Li Ling and the direction behind him.
Li Ling quickened his pace, shook off the tree man behind him a little distance, and then pounced, falling into the crowd Zheng Li's arrows and spears roared towards the pursuing tree spirits.
"Bang bang......" The sound of a sharp arrow shooting into the treeman's body was clearly audible. But the treemen paid no attention to the arrows that shot into their bodies, and continued to wave the clubs and branches in their hands, and rushed straight in the direction of the crowd.
Li Ling gritted his teeth, picked up a spear and rushed out. He tried his best to attract the attention of a few trees, and ran towards the clearing next to him.
The other treemen rushed into the crowd, spiky logs and branches waving wildly, and a few supporters who couldn't dodge were smashed to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
"Bastard!" Li Ling let out a low snort and danced the spear in his hand into a spear flower. There were even several times when Li Ling risked being hit and stabbed his spear into Shu Rao's body.
To his despair, these monsters were really like the Treants, who did not react to the injuries on their bodies, but became more and more courageous.
Li Ling's momentum was gradually suppressed. On several occasions, sticks and branches were smashed down on the head and face. Li Ling had no way to avoid it, so he could only resist the attack stubbornly, and the huge force almost smashed all his bones.
Li Ling didn't dare to imagine what would happen to those companions whose physical fitness was far inferior to his own when they were attacked? I'm afraid that the skin will open and the flesh will bloom, and the viscera will be damaged, and it is very likely that I will die.
The more Li Ling thought about it, the more worried he became, and he didn't even dare to look back at the people in the camp, but fought harder, hoping that he could get away with stabbing the key point of the tree spirit monster and leave time to save more companions.
Perhaps it was the excessive worry that distracted Li Ling, who was impaled in his right thigh by a sharp piece of wood while dodging an attack from behind, leaving a bloody wound on it.
The pain and blood loss soon caused him to lose his strength, and it was no longer possible to withstand the frantic attacks of the treants.
He saw a boulder in the distance, and might be able to run around it to avoid most of the attacks, so he struggled to run over the wound in his right leg with one hand, not forgetting to do his best to fend off the attack from behind.
During his nine lifetimes, Li Ling hid under the boulder. There was a lot of blood coming out of the wound, and he didn't know if the major artery in his leg had been punctured, and if it was, the rest of his efforts would be in vain......
But he still wished he had held on a little longer, so that he could contain the few treants behind him and buy his companions more time to escape.
Or, their companions will fight to kill the other treants and then rush to save themselves. But by then, I'm afraid that I would have died under the siege of these monsters......
Narrowly avoiding the attack again, Li Ling was no longer as panicked as he had been, and even felt that death would allow him to be relieved and go to another equally prosperous world. Maybe Qin Yu and his parents were waiting for him there.
Just as he came to the world of Sirte after years of slumber in space with no vital signs, and met creatures like Nayin and Stepby.
Thinking of Naiyin and Si Daobi who died in his hands, Li Ling felt nostalgia and guilt for the first time. They are the first beings they see in this world. They give themselves their first food, they give themselves their first guidance.
In a way, they are like parents, objects to emulate and learn from in this world. If it weren't for the subsequent changes, he might have always regarded Naine as his mentor in this world. Pity......
Several more attacks fell on him, and Li Ling circled around the boulder for half a circle. He was almost unconscious in his right leg, and his body began to shake involuntarily as he ran.
The Treant waved his weapon even more furiously, chasing after him. Don't let Li Ling take the time to bandage the wound on his leg, even if he stops to catch his breath
The ground around the boulder was red and drenched with blood. Li Ling's feet were crooked, and his whole body fell on Lin.
No longer having the strength to stand up, Li Ling sat on the ground and raised the spear in his hand in vain. He felt that in the next moment, he would travel to another world.
The strange thought grew stronger and stronger, so much so that he felt that the scene in front of him was beginning to change: the bright lights that flickered in the distance, for example. And the sudden burst of cheers.
"Sure enough, the soul is immortal! It will only become strong or weak, appearing in this or that world. Li Ling thought, his heart full of anticipation.
He looked down at himself, his pale skin and bloody wounds pulling him back to reality once more.
In any case, it is impossible for this body to be reborn with him. He's still on Sirte, sitting under the boulder.
However, the few treemen who were frantically attacking them had been attracted by the light and cheers in the distance, and staggered away.
Li Ling stared in that direction with wide eyes, and he saw an electric snake flashing with a cold light shooting from a distance, burrowing into Shurao's body without hindrance.
As if he had been hit by a talisman, the treeman suddenly became motionless, and his body fell straight forward due to the force of inertia.
Another cheer came. Li Ling finally saw the situation on the supporter's side clearly.
……
Kurban and Maqiang stood in the center of the crowd. The other guards surrounded them for protection, while the remaining supporters all gathered behind the crowd.
Immediately after the first skirt was lowered, a spear and a drawn bow and arrow were held up to his side.
Kurban tucked the spear in his hand and stared at it. Soon, some thin arcs of lightning appeared out of thin air, swirling around the spear.
The crowd cheered again, unfazed by the approaching treemen.
Kurban no longer hesitated, stepped forward with his left foot, leaned back, and threw the spear in his hand with all his might. The spear arced through the air as if it had eyes, and thrust into the top of the dryad's head from top to bottom.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, another dryad fell with a bang.
Haruko stood in the crowd, staring at the fantastic sight with wide eyes. Whether it's the huge, ugly tree people or the arc of electricity that appears out of thin air in Kurban's hands, it's like an absurd dream version of unbelievable.
But she knew that it was all true - Kurban easily killed those huge and ugly monsters with something similar to a spell!
Under the infection of the high emotions around her, Haruko also became very excited, and it seemed that as long as she stayed by Kurban's side, all demons and monsters would be completely destroyed.
