Chapter 644: Dryad

As the army of the undead spread out in all directions, Ge Wei quickly drew a map of the deadwood forest in his mind by controlling each undead and observing through them.

True to its name, the Dead Wood Forest is surrounded by countless dead trees as soon as you enter. Dead trees that had been dead for tens of thousands of years stood silently, twisted rattans stretched and sinking, stiffening as if describing the passage of time.

Obviously, this was once a dense forest, and if it weren't for the ingenuity of the people of Gowei Mountain, who could judge the terrain by the undead scattered all over the forest, and enter here as a normal human army, I am afraid that they would have lost their way inside. All the dead wood seemed to be exactly the same, twisted with teeth and claws, making it difficult to distinguish.

Skeletons and ghouls weave through the forest in droves, and Ge Wei uses them to weave a large net and quickly grasp the situation. The range of the map in my mind is also steadily expanding.

Several ghouls drooled and crawled swiftly over the towering roots of an inconspicuous old dead tree, and when they passed, they did not see it, the old tree writhed slowly, and a few holes magically opened in the shriveled trunk, like a pair of eyes and a mouth.

The dead tree watched silently as the ghoul departed.

In the middle of the road, Gewei left 100,000 ghouls and 500,000 mutant skeletons, and the other half was enough to explore the way. The stitching monster was too large for this kind of work, and all of them were left by Ge Wei. Just as the army was advancing along the path, Ge Wei received an attack on the skeleton warriors who were exploring the path ahead.

Ge Wei immediately separated a part of his spiritual power and directly entered the body of the skeleton warrior who sent the signal.

When he opened his eyes, Ge Wei found "himself", the skeleton warrior, hanging from a tree. Several other skeleton warriors and skeleton shooters were attacking the tree.

Ge Wei turned his head to look at the tree, and was surprised to see the pair of "eyes" and mouths like tree holes that appeared on the dead trunk.

"It's a dryad!"

Just came to this conclusion. A bone arrow flew head-on, piercing Ge Wei's skull. Contact was lost instantly.

"Stupid. "The mental power is withdrawn into the body. Ge Wei cursed, and immediately ordered the whole army to shrink, and the army in the middle went to support. The arrow was fired at the Dryad by the Skeleton Archer, and the Dryad picked up the Skeleton Warrior he was leaning over as a shield, and the Skeleton Warrior was shot in the head.

The appearance of a dryad in the dead wood forest surprised Ge Wei slightly, but it was also reasonable.

The Dryad is a type of undead creature that is contaminated with too much necromantic aura. The Dead Wood Forest is full of dead trees. These dead trees have stood here for tens of thousands of years, and they have long been contaminated with a lot of dead air. I'm afraid there's more to it than that.

Sure enough, at the same time, the ghouls and skeletons from all walks of life were attacked one after another, and they all passed the information back. Through the psychic link, Ge Wei witnesses the retreating ghoul squads and skeleton squads being intercepted by hideous, twisted dead trees.

These dead trees all have a pair of inverted triangular eyes and a mouth like a tree hole. The appearance is very strange.

The dryads moved surprisingly fast, and often before the skeletons could react, the dry vines that emerged from the ground wrapped around them. These rattans are again strangely tough. The axe equipped by the skeleton warrior was unable to cut the rattan quickly, and then more rattans were entangled, tying the skeleton warrior into a mummy, completely suppressing the skeleton's movements.

Fanatical ghouls move much faster. Often the rattan tries to wrap up, and the ghoul can climb and jump, and deftly dodge the rattan attack. Then quickly fight back. Pounce on the dryad and bite and scratch.

These dryads have mediocre defenses, and they grab tree trunks in the blink of an eye by the frequency of Ghoul Frenzy attacks. This was followed by an army of ghouls and skeletons that came to support from all directions, completely drowning and tearing the dryads to pieces.

Ge Wei responded in a timely manner. As soon as they found out that they were under attack, they ordered to shrink the formation, so that the follow-up troops could quickly catch up. The Pathfinder was reinforced in time, so the losses were small, and the losses were mostly mutated skeletons that were tied up and strangled by the Dryad's rattan due to their slow movements. None of the ghouls were damaged.

Ge Wei jumped down from the rage and came to a dryad that was being torn apart by a group of ghouls, and only the upper body trunk was relatively intact. The ghouls, who were frantically attacking, sensed Ge Wei's arrival, and automatically got out of the way, retreated to the sides, and trembled at Ge Wei's feet.

Ge Wei's pitch-black armor emitted a faint black glow, and he kicked the trunk of the tree with his foot, and the two eyes of the dryad were still intact, looking at Ge Wei. Only then did Ge Wei discover that the eyes of these dryads were filled with an imperceptible scarlet blood light. The intelligence of these dryads does not seem to be as low as they think.

"At least smarter than skeletons. ”

Ge Wei thought for a moment, opened his mouth and sucked lightly.

I saw that a white soul suddenly floated out of the dryad's body, and it was swallowed up by Ge Wei without any resistance.

"Hey, it's a ghost?"

Ge Wei was quite curious, in the soul fire of this dryad, he saw the memory of this soul body. This is not the soul of the dryad, but a ghost.

Ghosts are an advanced breed of ghosts and belong to the second stage of ghosts. It will use spirit shock, and it is a relatively low-level undead species, and it is also very common. But the discovery of a ghost in the dryad's body was something Ge Wei didn't expect.

"Is it a combination, or is it a ghost manipulating the actions of these dryads?"

If there is a ghost in the Dryad's body, then the Dryad's relatively high intelligence is easy to see from the ghost. The dryad itself is still a very inferior undead species.

Ge Wei had reason to suspect that this was the work of the White Bone Mage. "It's a good idea to use ghosts to enter the body of the dryad, so that the ghosts with higher intelligence can get a body with no weak strength, and dead wood is all over the forest. Ge Wei thought to himself.

Obviously, these dryads are the defensive forces arranged by the White Bone Mage, playing the role of automatic warning and eliminating intruders. So Ge Wei continued to order the armies everywhere to hunt the dryads, and at the same time sent the "mage group" around him out to all directions.

The so-called mage group is all skeleton mages. It would be great to have one or two mages in the human army, and there were tens of thousands of skeleton mages under Ge Wei's hands! Although these skeleton mages could only release some small spells at most, such as small fireballs, ice arrows, poison archery, etc., the advantage was that they were large in number and relatively easy to cultivate. At the scale of tens of thousands of magicians, even if it is only 10,000 magic apprentices, even the Holy See can't do it.

All skeleton mages were instructed by Ge Wei to cast only fireballs. The source of their magic comes from Gowe's magical heart. Normally born skeleton mages only have the ability to use necromancy. Ge Wei used the combination of the heart of magic and the heart of the dead to create skeleton mages, all of whom can cast four types of magic: water, fire, earth, and wind. Even Master Franklin and Mage Mai sighed to themselves.

With the addition of the Tree Buster Flame, the Dryads were even more defeated, and they were burned by the fire and had no power to fight back. The army of ghouls took the opportunity to pounce, and there was a one-sided situation all over the battlefield.

"It's strange, it stands to reason that with such a big move, why hasn't the White Bone Mage appeared?" (To be continued......)
