Chapter 51: The Priest Appears
The six-man team finally stood in front of the taproot of the World Tree.
The ordinary roots and branches of the World Tree are as thick as several people hugging, and the thinnest ones are as thick as a human arm. But compared to the taproot, it is completely different things, and the taproot is like a building, standing there in the sky.
Xiao Chen estimated that the diameter of the taproot was at least thirty or forty meters.
But even more striking than the taproot is the thing attached to it. The thing was nailed to the root of the tree, and it sucked in the white mist like a funnel, causing the surrounding mist to churn and rush towards it.
As a result, it was obscured by a thick white fog, and it was impossible to see what it looked like.
Xiao Chen looked at the mist like a long dragon, felt something in his heart, and suddenly said, "I know." I know what the white mist is!"
The white fog here is particularly thick, so thick that it is about to condense into water. Therefore, Xiao Chen felt the nature of the energy contained in it, "That is the power of life, which comes from the life energy in the root system of the World Tree. ”
"That's right, no wonder staying here, I feel that the fatigue of the battle just now is slowly recovering. "But here, this thing has a great impact on me, and even with your spiritual barrier protection, I find it very difficult." It gives me a very ...... Great feeling. ”
"Do you feel it?" said Elaina, looking sad, with tears in her eyes, "that's really his power, the power of God." ”
At this time, Evelyn, who had poor mental strength, was speechless, and she held her bow and began to tremble.
Maya summoned the last two golems, "I'm feeling that pressure too, we have to hurry up." We can't resist it for a long time!"
"Why resist?" said business in the air, and an elf appeared abruptly in front of the taproot wearing priestly robes painted with the sun.
"That Yang Priest!" called out Dinein.
The Yang Yan Priest was visibly more aware than the warriors he had encountered before, and he stretched out his hands and said, "Elves, my companions. It is here that our master, the great god of nature, begins his awakening! to open your hearts and become his patrons, and to receive the power he has bestowed......"
Xiao Chen didn't want the enemy to be ready to make another move, and he didn't wait for the other party to finish his words before he shot five ice spears, attacking the opponent's head and body points respectively. At the same time, everyone else moved, Roger charged with his sword, Evelyn bent her bow and shot arrows, Dinen unleashed thunder and lightning, Maya commanded the golem to charge, and Elaine blessed everyone.
The Yang Yan Priest looked at the oncoming attack with a blank expression. He raised his hands slightly, and the mist no longer condensed into the trees, but gathered in front of him at a great speed.
This transparent shield, composed of pentagons, condenses a huge amount of life energy together. Under the sharp attacks of the crowd, the shields were shattered layer by layer, but their attacks were also consumed. Only Roger, who rushed to the front, broke through the shield and slashed at the Yang Yan priest with a sword. His Thundermark Sword shone with a faint red glow, the result of applying the Elixir of God Eclipse.
The priest held a twig of the World Tree in one hand and held up Roger's Thundermark Sword. Unexpectedly, a priest who looked weak and couldn't help the wind actually held on to a high-level warrior who burst out with the strongest blow in terms of strength.
"Human beings, who don't know whether they are alive or dead, actually use such evil things. "The Yang Yan priest felt the potion on the sword. The Elixir was really powerful, and although it did not touch the priest's body, the aura emitted had already begun to corrode the divine power in the priest's body, making the priest's body begin to tremble slightly.
The priest let out a loud cry, and the mist around him began to pour into his body, and his muscles bulged and he grew taller. From a thin elf to a tall and muscular giant like a black bear, this is the power stolen from the World Tree.
Yang Yan Priest swung the branch with his right hand, and Roger's Thundermark Sword was actually swung upwards by him, and the person also leaned back, revealing the gap in front of him. Yang Yan Priest's left fist was mixed with a huge amount of energy, and it struck at Roger's chest and abdomen, and the violent energy instantly crushed Roger's protective fighting qi, and then smashed into his chest, his ribs were smashed several times, and blood flew out of his mouth, falling on a tree root dozens of meters away.
Elaine hurried towards Roger, and before the man could arrive, the healing magic fell on him. But Roger didn't move, lying unconscious on the ground.
"This blow just now is pure power, even a master-level elven warrior can't do that! Maya said loudly as she commanded the two golems to come forward and intercept them.
The Priestess of the Sun Flame broke the branch in his hand in two and threw it outward, striking the two Golems of Maya, each of whom burst into a cloud of sparks and fell to the ground.
Xiao Chen switched between the ice and spirit magic, but the freezing effect of the ice was very limited, although it slowed down the speed of the Yang Yan Priest, but it could not stop him from approaching everyone. Spiritual magic had little effect on this fanatic who was influenced by the gods.
However, the Yang Yan Priest did not chase after him, but guarded the roots behind him. He swung at ease other people's magic and arrows, and even if some of the attacks broke through his wounds, the white mist would quickly heal his wounds.
"Look, what is he doing?" called Maya.
"He's going to unleash a spell. Xiao Chen saw that Yang Yan priest waving his arms like a tai chi, and the energy began to gather in front of him, "No matter what magic it is, we must interrupt him." ”
Xiao Chen took out a demon-breaking arrow from the traveler's heart, and the arrow was also smeared with a god-destroying potion. This arrow, which was originally intended for the last enemy, now had to come in handy. Since the elves also react strongly to the Elixir of God Eclipse, he carried the arrow for Evelyn at all times. Xiao Chen used his spiritual power to form a tentacle, rolled up the Demon Breaking Arrow and handed it to Evelyn.
However, they were still slow, and Evelyn took the arrow, and before she could catch the bow, the Priest of the Sun had already completed his spell, and the white ripples pushed like waves, sweeping over everyone present.
Xiao Chen saw everyone's spiritual barrier shattered, and then even he heard the voice in his ear: "Believe in me, follow me, and you will be favored." ”
Several elves had lost their spiritual barriers, and only felt voices ringing in all directions asking them to obey the will of nature. Under this pressure, they completely lost their combat effectiveness, or fell to their knees, or fell with their heads in their hands, struggling with the instincts in their bodies.
At this time, the white mist in the sky had basically dissipated, and the things behind the Yang Yan priest were also revealed. The thing that absorbed countless energies from the tree and caused the World Tree to slowly wither turned out to be a hand.
