Chapter 69: The Girl Who Shouldn't Be Present
Helo jumped down from the canopy, and the dryad collapsed with a bang, and the few people present were shocked to solve it so quickly, and the eyes that looked at Helo were obviously different.
Traton, in particular, had a very ugly face.
This strength... I can't clash with Herlo anymore.
Being able to deal with an adult Treant on its own will make the next action change a lot.
If there is another conflict, no one in the team will come out to stop him, and they will even stand firmly by Helo's side to support him.
After all, only with the leadership of a strong person can there be a better chance of completing the assessment, which is the primary task, and no one will refuse.
Including Traton, he can only bow down now, but whether Helo is willing to cooperate is another matter.
However, when it comes to completion and participation, the strong combat power shown by Helo makes everyone very jealous, and on the premise of completing the assessment, everyone has a little ninety-nine hidden in their hearts.
The attack of the tree saplings continued, they had no subjective consciousness, only the instinct to hunt and devour life, which made Bert, who was bouncing in the distance as a bait, not have a moment to rest.
The concept of respecting the strong in the world of sorcerers is vividly reflected at this moment.
Helo looked around, and he was not verbose.
"Traton, go and bring Bert out of the encirclement."
It's not a consultative tone, it's an order, but this sentence can be regarded as giving Traton steps.
"Huh? Good...! ”
Traton originally thought that Helo was the first to call his name, intending to settle the previous conflict, but he didn't expect to order himself.
Fortunately, in order for himself to integrate into the team and not be abandoned, he can accept Helo's move to build his prestige.
Now that part of his strength has been exposed, Helo does not intend to let go of any opportunity to increase his contribution.
"Let's get rid of all the tree saplings in this area, it will create some chaos and make it easier for us to blend into the depths of the forest."
It won't be long before the demise of the two-headed adult Dryad will be known to the Dryad Clan, so instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take the initiative.
Since it's a cleaning mission, it has to be called worthy.
Dana flung two black blades into her robes.
"It will take some time, these tree saplings are not difficult to deal with, but there are too many of them, just... Won't this affect our assessment process? ”
Although Dana said that there was no problem on the surface, there was subconscious resistance in her words.
Just the five of them?
She didn't want to waste her soul energy on these inconsequential tree saplings.
"Doesn't that startle the snake?" Bablin was also puzzled.
"When we appeared here, we were already startled, and we set the goal higher, the reward for this difficult assessment task will not be bad, have you forgotten the second task?"
"Quell the chaos in the swamps...?"
Thinking of the difficulty of this task, the two decisively chose to compromise with Helo's statement.
From the time they entered the tower to the present three years, basically most of the apprentices have a relatively complete soul art structure, but the difficulty and power of the structure are different, since the two have not raised objections, they naturally have their own methods.
But Harrow didn't make a move, and went to the burial place of the other dryad, absorbing the lost module.
Unsurprisingly, the modules dropped by both Treants were the same.
The transformed soul energy scale is better than nothing.
And after Helo was away from a few people, he turned to the more remote depths, muttering to himself as he went.
"You mean... That treant doesn't have knowledge in his soul? Like a newborn baby? ”
The whining sound of mosquitoes and flies came from the robes, and it was impossible to hear it unless you approached it.
"That's right... It felt like a newborn baby, a blank sheet of paper, with nothing to see and hear, but nothing to think about. ”
Helo pondered for a moment.
This is different from the tree spirit race described in the intelligence, a smart race, even if the people are simple, this situation should not occur.
"Is there a way to the depths of the digested soul? Information about Mother Swamp and the City That Never Sleeps. ”
The Nightmare Soul was a little hesitant, thought for a moment and said, "The road to the depths... It should be hard for you guys to walk..."
"Huh? What do you mean. Heloh asked rhetorically, frowning.
"They came directly across the territory of the dryads to the outskirts of the forest, and with the help of the abilities of some old dryads, they teleported directly, and you can't go through this way.
Aside from the places occupied by the Dryads, you will have to take long detours to the unsolidified swamps. ”
Helo lifted his hand, allowing the skull to show its sleeve.
"Do you know which direction?"
The black mist in the skull swayed, as if to discern the bearing, and after a while, a small gesture detached from the black mist and pointed in one direction.
"I kept walking there, because of the teleportation in the middle, I don't know the specific distance and location, but I feel a sense of belonging in the dark."
This is what it is told by the sense in its body that it has not yet fully digested the soul of the dryad.
……
As the night passed, several people cooperated with Dana, who had the power of black flames, and soon burned all the tree spirit seedlings on the periphery, and even the flames that soared into the sky were driven to spread into the forest.
But before the flames had penetrated deep into the forest, it was as if someone had poured a basin of water on it and extinguished it.
Looking at the strange scene, Helo couldn't help but sigh.
"Mother Swamp's protection, this group of tree spirits really chose the right place, while accepting the blessing and gifts, and at the same time unscrupulously plundering life."
"Like a bloodsucking worm indeed."
"Such a useless soul beast, no one wants to merge with their souls."
"But the heart of the tree is also a good material, the tower means that they are more numerous than the nourishment, and they need to be cleaned up and contained, and the original purpose of the mission is to let us support the side of the swamp mother."
After repairing for a while, everyone also recovered their soul energy.
"Let's go, it seems that the swamp land has not been completely occupied by the dryads, there is still power, the dryads have been completely destroyed, the two-headed laborer dryads are gone, and the next time the dryads come to visit the situation, it is estimated that they will be much stronger.
We need to take a detour in advance and walk around it, and in such a large area, we can always meet a lone tree spirit. ”
After the test of the previous battle, Helo now had some confidence that at least the newly grown dryads were no match for them.
"Vic, won't we get lost in the forest if we run around like this?"
Bert, who learned about Helo's strength, asked curiously.
The speed of the movement of several people was not fast, and in this lush forest, the light curtain overhead did not provide much illumination, so they did not dare to jump forward.
"Probably know where to go."
Helo stopped pretending to be inducted, and continued to lead the team forward, without much explanation.
Just after a few people had crossed a normal grove of trees, they came to a muddy mossy water.
"Why did you stop?"
Traton, who was following at the back, saw that several people had stopped, gasped and asked, his physical body is not strong, and his soul energy cannot be consumed at will, and long-distance running is a bit difficult for him.
"Look what it is."
On the empty moss and water, everyone saw green 'eyes'.
One by one, the toads and guinea pigs hid under the moss, looking in the direction of Helo and the others expectantly, but from the fluctuations, those were normal creatures, and there was no hostility towards them.
Even... There's a hint of concern.
"That's... A girl? But why is it here? ”
It wasn't the reaction of the animals that made Bert exclaim, but a girl in a red and white plaid dress crouching on the shore near the mossy waters.
From the side face, long eyelashes flashed on his white face, and helpless and aggrieved emotions brewed in his eyes.
