The woods were so quiet that they were almost dead silent, except for the sound of the breeze stirring the leaves, carrying the sea up and down like waves, and Yalei listened intently to the movement below as he walked deeper into the woods.

The search continued until the sun went down, and he almost broke out of the woods, but found nothing.

When the pale scythe moon hung silently in the sky, sprinkling the cold moonlight, the lifeless woods suddenly came to life, and there was no sound of fluctuating branches and leaves in the forest, a dull and heavy percussion sound, faintly heard from the depths of the woods.

Yalei suddenly stirred his breath to the limit, and quietly swept towards the source of the sound in the cover of the branches and leaves.

The icy night wind continued to blow down from the sky, and the dull knocking sound also came with the cold wind in the sky. He followed the sound source and quietly walked forward for about three minutes, and the sound was getting louder and louder, and it sounded close at hand.

Yalei looked into the distance, following the direction of the sound to look at the source of the sound, and in the pine trees in the depths of the black sea of trees, countless green points of light were slowly moving. In the center of the dense dot of light, a tall, dark green pine tree was waving its branches, constantly pumping the thick black branches on its right arm to the ground.

The dull sound of tapping was the sound of its branches beating against the earth.

With each blow, the earth burst into a green light that swirled around the pine, as if to highlight its unique status, there was a large gap between it and the rest of the pines, and the ground was full of large and small colorful mushrooms.

Like all the deformed weeds and shrubs, these pines were of astonishingly large numbers, the shortest of which weighed fifty or sixty yards. Like pillars that go straight to the sky. Rise from the ground.

The pine tree in the middle of the woods that struck the ground was even larger. If it weren't for seeing its movements, Yalei would have even thought that the other party was a hill overgrown with pine trees.

With each blow, a large cloud of bright green light seeped into the surrounding trees, and it didn't take long for the giant trees to "wake up", and in the rumbling movement, they all bowed down to the pine tree in the center, like a courtier meeting the emperor.

"Hahahaha!"

The pine trees stopped pounding on the ground. Laughter came from the black hole's features, and the whole forest began to tremble slightly in its long, oozing laughter.

Immediately afterward, the trees that had fallen around it let out a long laugh, and the laughter changed from chatter at first to giggling and then giggling, and the center of the forest slowly swirled like a whirlpool under the bright waning moon.

What is this?

Seeing this scene, Yalei immediately moved with murderous intent, but in order to observe their abilities, he temporarily pressed the killing intent. Hide under a few huge leaves and continue to observe.

If someone looks down from the sky at this moment, they can see hundreds of pine trees holding their branches aloft. In six circles, the giant tree in the center flapped its branches and leaves rhythmically.

The bark and dead leaves sprinkled to the ground like a torrential rain, and the large and small mushrooms were soon covered with these things, and a small part of the dead leaf bark swept around with the night wind, forming a dark cloud of black oppression.

The black-haired knight waited for more than ten minutes before the old dryad gathered in the center stopped laughing, and raised the black branch again, sweeping towards the ground with a faint green light.

The mushrooms that had been buried by the bark of the dead leaves grew when they saw the wind, and one by one they inflated like balloons, and cracks cracked in the stalks under the cap, and they also laughed loudly with a giggling scream.

This old pine tree is probably the Dryad's curse!

After seeing the Dryad's ability, and comparing it with Albert's words, Yalei immediately had an answer in his heart, and the holy sword was immediately unsheathed, and the snowy blade cut the moonlight into countless thin lines, smashing towards the Dryad with a thick black flame.

Boom!

The deadly flames rose into the sky, and the rolling black flames instantly ignited the surrounding trees, burning the trees into a sea of fire, and waves of fire rolled around them, except for the pitch-black flames, there was no other color.

The crackling sound of explosions was endless, and the black flames condensed in the night wind stood still, and only the flames ignited in the high temperature were blown everywhere, drifting farther and farther away.

Black smoke rushed into the sky along the firelight, spraying sawdust and sparks over the trees, announcing the arrival of disaster.

A full-force slash from the Holy Sword's amplified state blasted the old dryad in the center of the tree into pieces, and the aftermath of the explosion radiated a radius of hundreds of yards. The high temperature turned everything within the shock wave into a sea of fire, and the dirt affected by the flames of the explosion even melted into glass slag.

The dancing dryads were stunned by this scene, and when the tongue of fire rolled up on themselves, they howled and scattered, scattering the flames to all corners of the woods.

The initiator of this forest fire, but stood quietly under the remains of the old dryad, in the light of this raging fire, his shadow continued to jump with the flames, like a terrifying devil raging in the dark night.

Click...... Click......

With the sound of heavy objects rubbing against each other, the remnants of the dryad, which had been blown to pieces by the steel bucket qi, continued to move closer to the center, and at the same time, a huge shock wave mixed with ice slag exploded from the inside of the flames, extinguishing the fire that was gradually affecting the jungle in an instant.

The huge body rose from the ground like a mountain peak, smashing into the ground with large scorched black stump fragments, rolling up black and pressing smoke, it stared at Yalei condescendingly, with the scorching smell of the flames burning, and spewed a huge sound:

"You...... What kind of monster dare to encroach on my territory?"

"I am a human, the master of this territory. Yalei put the holy sword on his shoulder, stared at the dryad's empty features, and replied coldly.

"Another Earl?"

The old dryad's densely textured face suddenly distorted, and at first it only wanted to laugh at the other party, but remembering the overwhelming blow, it forcibly held back the smile.

"Exactly, if I'm not mistaken, you're the source of the Dryad's curse, right?" the black-haired knight looked at its rapidly recovering body, revealing a solemn expression.

"That's true. ”

After it readily admitted, its dark features gradually moved, transforming into an angry expression: "Lord Earl, I have no intention of being your enemy, why are you attacking me?"

"Why? I have been in Glamorgan for a day, and I have not seen you come to see you, and punish you with a sword?" replied Arley with a swaggering attitude.

What is it called?

This is called the sin of desire!

My fists are harder than yours, my status is higher than yours, do you want to resist with your hat?

The old dryad was stunned by his question, it has lived for so many years, and has always regarded the Earl of Glamorgan as a joke, but it didn't expect this to come back to such a horizontal one, and it was obvious that this was looking for the door to find fault.

"My memory is still stuck in the time of Count Albert, and I don't know the news of the new earl's canonization. "Relying on the immortal body, it shows fearlessness.

"It's sealed, do you want to be sealed too?" the black-haired knight began to intimidate the other party nakedly.

"Seals, you can't do it!"

The old dryad subconsciously wanted to raise the branch and slap the arrogant human in front of him to death, and after quickly analyzing the strength of the enemy and the enemy, it rationally gave up this idea.

"It's not that I can't do it, it's that I don't have the idea. Yalei put on an unfathomable expression, and his acting skills have become more and more exquisite since he appeared on the cooking and food show.

“......”

The huge pine tree was silent, although it was not clear whether the other party really had a way to seal itself, but the earth-shattering sword was indeed real.

"The main purpose of my coming here today is not to ask for sin. The black-haired knight turned his words, put away his aggressive momentum, and asked a little softly:

"You've lived in my territory for so many years, have you ever paid a penny in taxes?"

"Paying taxes?"

The old dryad's mind was blank, it had lived freely in this land for hundreds of years, and it was used to being an earth overlord, and it was already a good thing not to go to the trouble of the lord, and now there was actually a lord who came to collect taxes.

"I also know that you can't pay your taxes, so let's use labor to offset your taxes, and if you hand over a thousand dryads, I will pay your taxes for so many years. ”

At first, Yalei planned to kill all the dryads, but after seeing their size, he was reluctant to find such good coolies.

"Don't you think!" the dryad roared angrily, and the entire forest was shaken.

"Calm down, it's okay if it's not a dryad, you hand over a little other labor, mushrooms, flowers, ferns, as long as you can work, but there are a little more of them. ”

The black-haired knight continued to bargain with it without care: "I promise that as long as I receive the taxes, I will not bother you again, on the contrary, you will also be protected by me." ”

"......" The old dryad was silent, not because it was difficult to accept, but because it was actually moved.

It was the dryad who was barely considered its descendant, and things like mushrooms, flowers, and plants were nothing more than servants, and there were as many as they wanted. If you talk to the other party, then it doesn't matter if you give him a little labor, although he is immortal, he is uncomfortable if he has nothing to do without being cut with a sword.

"Why, do you agree?" he asked, with an impatient expression, in fact, uneasy.

"How much do you want?"

The old dryad compromised, and it felt more sorry for its children and grandchildren than a few servants.

"The number is 10,000, at least the strength of an adult, the IQ can't be too low, can it be done?" Yalei had a trance feeling of winning the jackpot for a moment, originally he just tentatively mentioned it a little, but he didn't expect it to succeed.

"Deal, but you have to remember your promises, or I'll take them back at any time!" said the dryad as he bent down his trunk, the shadow of the canopy instantly covering a large area of land, and stared at the black-haired knight.

"Of course, my words count. (To be continued......)
