Chapter 12: The Branches and Leaves of the Great Tree

"More than two months ago, on a trade route not far from the elven territory, someone attacked our caravan, and five sisters were kidnapped by robbers. Now I beg you to hand over my people. Saryl was not afraid of a dozen warriors who were drawing their swords against each other, and her dark green eyes stared at Oakes, firm and persistent.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Miss Elf. You're the only elf I've seen lately. Oakes waved his hand and denied it.

"Hmph, the one-eyed val is the witness, he is the slave catcher who sold the elves that day. He swears he'll sell all five elves to you in the end!" Thor pulled Val up and shoved him in front of Oakes.

"It's a joke. You're a mercenary, aren't you? You usually take the oath of a slave catcher? These guys drink and gamble for money in addition to killing people, and my dogs are more reliable than them. Oakes didn't even look at Val, "Get out of here before I get angry, I'd love to invite her to dinner for a while, except for this elf lady." ”

Thor was about to get angry, but Saril reached out to stop him, and she took a seed from her cuff and threw it on the floor, only to see a flash of green light, and the seed actually sprouted on the carpet. In the blink of an eye, it grew into a small blue flower, which swayed in the windless room like a little man looking for something, and it first tilted in the direction of Saryl, and then pointed its corolla to the northeast to the ground, and began to emit a faint cyan halo.

"This is the seed of the vine in the World Tree, it can sense the breath of our people, and wherever there are elves gathered nearby, it will point the corolla back. Over there, there's a dungeon where you're holding my people, right?"

"Huh. Oakes sneered, "It's just a boring little trick, I can find a room of beggars in Suero who do tricks." Why do you say I have elves here? Why should I give you people? Why don't I kill all your men and tie you to bed?"

"When I insult me, it's best to know that I'm just the first elf to come here, and behind me there is a team of warriors and mages. We are all brothers and sisters under the World Tree, and no one can tolerate their own brothers and sisters being slaves. If you don't want to face the wrath of the elves, you'd better hand them over in peace and confess their sins to us. This is your only chance, and I don't want anyone to lose their lives in this matter. ”

"Hey. What a big tone, should I beg for mercy? Kaufman, it looks like you're causing me a big problem. ”

"My lord, he, they only say business...... I, I'm ......" Kaufman's face turned pale with fright, and the words were gagged in his mouth.

Oakes waved his hand impatiently to get Kaufman out of the way, and he crossed Erlang's legs and stared at Sharyl for a long time.

"The Oakes family has been here for hundreds of years, and anyone who comes in can tell us what to do...... Hehe, our family doesn't have to continue to exist. Since you're staring at me, we're going to have to break it off. ”

"I hope you make the right choice. Sharyl said solemnly.

"I'm a person who wants to keep things simple. He reached out and nodded at Sharyl, "Give it to me, kill all the men, catch this woman!"

Suddenly, all the warriors in the room rushed towards Saryl. The door to the room was also slammed open, and seven or eight more warriors rushed in with swords and spears held alof.

Thor and two of his men hurriedly split up and surrounded Sharyl in the middle. Thor shouted, "Miss Sariel, make a move! ”

Saryl's face was unbearable. But at this time, the warriors who surrounded him had already intersected with Thor's sword, and Thor alone resisted three opponents, and he was suddenly in danger.

Saryl hurriedly took out a water bladder, unplugged it and poured water on the little flower, and prayed softly: "O god of nature, I am willing to bear all the consequences, but please protect your children at this time." ”

The little blue flower writhed as if it had suddenly come to life when it had been watered. After a while, the stems and leaves began to grow wildly, and the flower stems, which were originally only the thickness of the little finger, grew several meters long in the blink of an eye, and the vines were thicker than the arm, and the dancing vines were like restless snakes, one by one, scattering to meet the rushing escort warriors.

The warriors of the Oaks family were stunned by this vision, although there were many magicians in this world, they were still a drop in the ocean compared to the large population, and most of them had never seen magic in their lives. These warriors know only a little bit about magic. They are terrified to encounter such something beyond common sense in battle. Several warriors invariably abandoned Thor and the others and fought with the vines instead. These vines are so tough that an attack from a normal warrior can only leave a shallow wound on them. Even if a Fighting Warrior picks up his qi and cuts off one, more vines will soon entangle it.

The leader of the guards was more knowledgeable, and when he saw Saryl constantly watering the vines in the middle, he shouted, "Subdue that elven woman first." Pushing aside the attack of the vines, he rushed towards her.

At this time, Solti rushed over and fought with him, and the two were of equal strength, fighting fiercely, making it difficult for others and vines to get close.

But ordinary warriors were not so lucky, and after a while, someone was caught in the waist by the vines and hung up. The surrounding vines were like wolves pounced, and they went around in one go, wrapping the man into a cocoon, and the vines were wrapped layer by layer, and the tighter and tighter they were. At first, the wrapped warrior could still cry out for help, but gradually the cocoon twisted like a wrung clothes, and after a loud scream, there was a sound of bones breaking inside, and then blood flowed down the gap to the ground in large streams, and the shouts became softer and softer, and in less than half a minute, the man was no longer silent.

The others were in a horrific setting, and one warrior after another was tied up and hanged by vines.

The leading warrior wanted to go to the rescue, but as soon as he was distracted, Thor seized the opportunity, stabbed a sword into the lower abdomen, and fell to the ground unwillingly.

Dead people were hung in the air by vines dripping with blood, this is a scene that only exists in nightmares, Saril closed her eyes very early, not daring to see what those people were distorted into, when the room slowly quieted down, she slowly opened her eyes, only to find that Thor and the others were also shocked and speechless. Although they had known for a long time that Sharyl could control the enemy, they would never have imagined that the beautiful and gentle elves would use such a method.

All the warriors had been tied up and killed, and the other two vindictive warriors outside the leader tried to split a path in the direction of the gate, but were eventually buried in the green of the house. There was only one magic swordsman, with flames erupting from his hands, struggling to resist in a corner. The vine was afraid of fire, but the only thing he could do was to survive until his mental power was exhausted.

Thor came back to his senses and walked cautiously towards the corner, although he had sprinkled the powder on his body beforehand to avoid the vines, he was still extremely cautious, for fear of attracting the attention of the vines. The magic swordsman's face was pale, his face was covered with beads of sweat, and the flames that erupted from his hands were bright or dark, to the point of running out of oil and lamps. He looked at Thor pleadingly, slowly falling to his knees. Thor shook his head, and with a sword slashed off his arm, the swordsman clutched his arm in pain, unable to release the flames anymore, and in the blink of an eye, he was wrapped in vines and turned into rice dumplings.

Oakes and Kaufman had fled to the door, only to find that the vines had climbed up the wall and sealed the door tightly, and at this pause in front of the door, the vines went around their feet.

Oakes roared: "Elf, are you crazy, do you want to start a war? My brother-in-law is the general of the kingdom! If I die, he won't let you go, he won't let go of the elven kingdom! Put away your magic!"

At this time, the floor of the room was covered with a layer of blood, and Sharyl walked in a black robe, like a messenger from hell. By the time she walked up to Oakes, the vines had strangled their necks.

"Listen! Those of you outside have long been surrounded by the warriors I have sent, and they will soon know that something is wrong here, and your companions will be dead! ”

"Hmph, we've been prepared for them for a long time, and I guess they should end up with you. Thor pointed his sword at Oakes, "Would you like to give you a good time?"

"No, you can't kill me, I don't deserve to die here, you, you're cursed by the gods of nature. You will all be abandoned by the cycle of nature!" Oakes' eyes widened, and he wriggled his body, but the vines were as hard as rocks. Twisting his neck and shouting, "Kaufman, you bastard, hurry up and say something!"

"Please...... Please kill me. I...... I don't want to die like that. Kaufman said to Saul as he stared at the vine cocoon lying in mid-air.

"As you wish. Thor followed the gap in the vine and plunged his sword into Kaufman's chest, a look of pain and relief on his face.

"Kaufman, you, you damn thing. How dare you leave me? Oakes was desperate to find that he was the only one left dead in the room, and he pleaded, "I, I surrender, I have a lot of money, I want to buy my life." I'm just a businessman, take your people, take my money, spare my life. I promise I won't retaliate against you, I'll stay away. Beautiful elves, they say that you are the kindest race in the world, and you have pity on me. ”

"I'd rather give sympathy to the dead guards than to you. The deepest sin in this room is you! Nature will devour your sins and give more good things a new lease of life. ”

Sharyl turned her back. The vines covered Oakes' face, twisting and squeezing, leaving only a puddle of blood......
