Chapter 18, I want to live
The two girls looked curiously at the fruit in their hands, and Susan was amazed at the strange color and appearance, and wondered if it could be eaten.
And Delaney couldn't put it down and held the fruit in the palm of her hand, she had seen such magical materials in the mentor's real room when she was in the magic capital before. However, at that time, the troll acorn fruit I saw was only the size of an egg, but now the one in my hand is the size of an adult's fist, and its value is definitely not low.
Delaney had the heart to ask Zhang Yi to pick a few more, but considering the danger of the troll oak, she still dismissed the idea.
"Let's see if we can activate the magic array."
The thought came to Draenei's brain almost without thinking, and then placed the fruit directly in the flat center of the teleportation circle under her feet—she recognized it, and the small circle in the center was the activation area where the magic was absorbed.
Delaney may have done this out of curiosity, but it was a complete disaster for Zhang Yi, who had not yet come down from the troll oak.
Zhang Yi, who saw this scene, was almost frightened, and he shouted loudly to Delaney: "Stop......"
But it's still a step slow.
Although this teleportation magic array platform is a product of thousands of years ago, the quality of the things of the gods and electors has always been very good, and as soon as the fruit is put down, the entire platform has been running without failure, and it has begun to absorb the magic contained in the fruit.
An extremely obvious wave of magic power immediately rippled from the platform, instantly filling the entire courtyard.
As mentioned earlier, obvious magic fluctuations and exciting sounds will wake the Troll Oak from its slumber, and now the first condition is met, when the fruit is absorbed by the teleportation magic array, the Troll Oak will shake strongly.
It's sober!
Zhang Yi didn't even bother to scold Delaney at this time, and he didn't have time to climb the tree slowly, so he jumped directly from the canopy of nearly four or five meters high.
The huge impact brought by the height made Zhang Yi can't help but roll forward several times after landing, except for the wolf bèi, but he was not injured. This is also because of his strong body, his bones can withstand such an impact, and if he wants to be an ordinary person, he will be seriously injured if he jumps from such a high height and is not crippled.
Zhang Yi endured the pain from the muscles in his legs, quickly got up from the ground, and ran directly to the teleportation magic array platform.
As long as they run to the platform, they will be able to get out of the attack range of the troll oak, and the teleportation magic array has been activated, it will not take long to absorb the magic in the fruit, and the power source will be lost, and the teleportation magic array will be closed, and they will lose this opportunity to leave the Shadow Mountains.
But how could the troll oak, which had come to its senses, let this little bug crawling on itself escape.
From the two black holes in the trunk of the tree, there was a burning turquoise flame, which was the soul fire of the troll oak and a sign that it had completely come to its senses.
Before Zhang Yi could take two steps, the stone slab under his feet was immediately pushed open, and a thick and flexible tree root came out of the ground, quickly wrapped around one of Zhang Yi's ankles, directly dragged him to the ground, and then pulled it back, directly pulling him back.
This sudden change stunned the two girls, they didn't understand why the troll oak suddenly came to its senses, Draenei, who was more sensitive to magic fluctuations, quickly realized that maybe it was because of the teleportation magic array, she looked down and saw that the fruit in the central area of the magic array was drying up to a degree visible to the naked eye, which indicated that the magic power inside was being quickly absorbed, and when the magic power filled the entire magic array, it would be completely activated, and instantly teleport away the things within the magic array, But it will definitely not last long.
"Help him!"
Susan Xun drew the bow and arrow from the quiver, and shot two arrows in succession, the arrows instantly skimming the distance between the platform and the troll oak tree, and hitting the trunk of the troll oak tree.
But to Susan's horror, the two arrows she shot with all her might did not even penetrate the thick bark of the tree trunk, and the two bows and arrows only left small holes in them, and then fell to the ground.
The Draenei also recited the incantation, and fired an arrow of holy light as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, the Holy Light Arrow has a very high bonus damage to undead creatures, and is much less powerful than a regular bow and arrow for other creatures.
At this moment, the plants in the surrounding flower beds also moved after the troll oak came to their senses, like monsters.
Delaney suddenly remembered that her teacher had explained to her one of the abilities of the Troll Oak, which was able to control the plants around him when he was awake, and use his magic to mutate them into his own soldiers.
In other words, they are already surrounded by this courtyard.
The thought sent a shudder down the sleeve.
On the other side, Susan saw that the bow and arrow did not work, she gritted her teeth, directly dropped the bow and arrow, pulled out the double-edged straight sword on her waist, and was about to rush off the platform.
But at this moment, Delaney grabbed her.
"Susan, the magic array is about to start and there is no time, we can't save him, let's go." Delaney pleaded.
Susan turned her head suddenly, as if she didn't expect Draenei to say such a thing, she stared at her with wide eyes and disbelief: "Erwin rescued us from the necromancer and brought us here, how can you leave him alone." ”
"I know, I know." Delaney burst into tears, and she shouted in a high-pitched voice, "But I want to live more, I don't want to die like Corion and Harry, it's too late, and we won't be able to leave for a while." ”
"Then you go first."
Susan shook off the Draenei and took her hand, turned and rushed off the platform.
Draenei sat down on the platform, tears streaming down her face, and she whispered something to herself as she watched Susan rush at the back of the troll oak.
"I'm sorry, Susan, I'm sorry, Mr. Erwin......"
At this time, Zhang Yi didn't know what was happening on the platform, and when he was caught by the troll oak and dragged his ankle back, he pulled out the iron sword at his waist with his backhand and slashed down with a wave of his hand.
The snow light of the sword flashed, and the sharp characteristics, coupled with the armor-piercing effect of the iron sword, easily cut the thick tree roots in two.
"Roar!"
The troll oak let out a low roar, and the roots that had been rooted in the ground came out one after another, pounced on Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi had just gotten up from the ground when he saw the dense roots of the trees like snakes rushing towards him, which frightened him into a cold sweat, and instantly activated the skill of [Iron Sword Technique].
The iron sword technique gave Zhang Yi a degree of speed and agility, but he didn't use it to entangle and fight these roots, but to turn around and run.
Whooshing, a dozen tree roots immediately pounced on them from all directions, and there were nearly seven or eight of them, each of which was the thickness of an arm, blocking almost the entire front.
Zhang Yi had no way to retreat at all, so he could only rely on the sharpness of the iron cutting sword in his hand, not seeking skill, only efficiency, and slashing forward more than ten swords in a row with the fastest degree.
The bright sword light almost weaved a large net in front of him, directly cutting off seven or eight tree roots into small pieces one by one, and the translucent color mixed with milky white sap sprayed out, like blood.
Zhang Yi slammed forward, breaking through the encirclement, and his feet kept running out, just as he was about to rush out of the canopy-covered position, two thigh-thick trunk branches actually smashed down directly from the canopy, like the arm of a troll oak, to shoot Zhang Yi's worm to death.
The broken iron chopping sword couldn't cut such a thick branch at all, and even if he could cut Zhang Yi, he didn't dare to hit it hard, so he could only quickly pounce to the side, dodging the slap of the two branches.
And his pounce was completely hit by the troll oak's plan, and his body even fell to the ground, and many roots suddenly drilled out of the ground, like dense tentacles.
Zhang Yi couldn't turn in mid-air, and fell directly into this pile of tentacles, his body was immediately tightly entangled, and even his limbs were firmly bound in an instant.
"Damn, I'm really going to make fertilizer now."
Zhang Yi scolded secretly in his heart, his limbs couldn't move, but the palm holding the iron sword could still move, just like when he used to turn the pen with his fingers in class, the iron sword actually beat dazzlingly on Zhang Yi's palm, relying on the sharp blade, directly cutting off all the roots of these wrists in the vicinity.
His right hand was quickly completely freed, and Zhang Yi swung his sword up and down, cutting off all the roots of the trees that were wrapped around his body.
Having just broken away from these tentacle piles, but soon had to be entangled in countless roots, this troll oak tree is also the character of a single person, and even ignored the damage to its own roots, and kept burrowing out the roots to trap him, clearly trying to use him as fertilizer.
Even if he relied on the sharpness of the iron sword and the degree of iron swordsmanship, Zhang Yi was getting more and more difficult, and it was difficult to break through this forest of roots and leave, after all, the level between him and the troll oak was too far apart, and this was still when the strength of the troll oak tree was weakened by seventy percent, and most of the abilities could not be used.
Finally, Zhang Yi's limbs were once again entangled by the roots of the tree, and a thick branch of the trunk fell from the top of his head.
He quickly cut off three of the roots, but before he could cut off the last one, the branch on top of his head that was larger than his head was almost smashed to the head.
At the last moment, a sword light rushed out from the side, directly cutting off the roots of the tree that bound Zhang Yi, and he immediately rolled to the side, avoiding the catastrophe on his head.
Zhang Yi looked up and saw that the person who saved his life turned out to be Susan.
In order to save him, Susan also rushed into this forest that seemed to be made up of tree roots, and it took a lot of effort to rush to Zhang Yi's side.
