Chapter Seventy-Four: The Tree That Eats People
"Anyway, let's go in first. Chloe looked at the crowd and suggested. As he spoke, he walked in first.
When the others saw that Croe had entered, they hurried to follow.
"It's so eerie in here, it blocks out the sun, as if it's isolated from the world. Elle said fearfully as she entered the forest and looked at the scenery around her.
"It's an unusual environment, so be careful. Asher looked at the surroundings and said solemnly.
The people walked carefully in the forest for a long time, but they found nothing.
"This forest is so big, we've been walking for hours, and we haven't even seen the shadow of the holy lake, and I'm exhausted. Ellie grumbled as she looked at the endless forest.
"Hey, Ellie, you were in a hurry before you came, and you said that you wanted to find the holy spring and make the guild famous on the mainland, and you are tired after only a few hours of walking. Vermeo teased as he looked at the complaining Ellie.
"I didn't know this Angel Forest was such a boring place, there was nothing eerie around it. Ellie grumbled as she looked around the gloomy surroundings.
"The Ángel Forest is a primeval forest, what can it be. Anyway, I'm so tired. Asher looked at the endless forest and sighed.
"You two usually know how to be lazy, and you don't exercise when you're fine, one only knows how to sleep, and the other only knows how to stay at home and watch the messy stories written by bards. Chloe shook her head and looked at the two of them, helplessly.
"Claue, how can I always stay at home and read stories, people only watch them occasionally, and most of the time I think about the future of the guild. Ellie took Chloe's hand and said coquettishly.
"Okay, I'm afraid of you, let's rest here for a while. Chloe looked at the coquettish Ellie and said helplessly.
In this gloomy forest, where even the sun can't shine in, everyone feels tired after walking for a long time, so they find a big tree and rest on it.
"You say how far we have to go to find the sacred lake. Elle asked, leaning against a tree and looking out at the endless forest.
"It's not certain if there is a holy lake in this forest, after all, no one has really seen it, that Vane guy just said that this forest has something that can heal my injuries, but whether it is a holy spring or not is still uncertain? Ashur leaned against the tree, staring into the distance and pondering.
"As soon as we entered the forest, we kept walking further west, and we have been walking for most of the day, at least 5 or 60,000 meters, but in terms of the area of this forest, I am afraid that we have walked less than a fifth, and it should be considered the periphery of the Angel Forest. Chloe replied after a moment's pause
"Well, it's not even a fifth of what you've been walking for so long. Ellie looked around at the gloomy surroundings and sighed
"Anyway, let's take a good rest for a while, this forest is full of dangers, and we must always maintain sufficient energy. Chloe looked at the crowd.
"That's right. Vermeo nodded, closed his eyes and rested. Seeing this, the others also closed their eyes and took a nap.
However, when everyone closed their eyes and rested, they didn't know that on the big tree they were leaning on, vines as thick as a baby's arm were moving silently, slowly approaching them.
"Whoosh!", when the vine was less than a meter away from Ashur, it suddenly accelerated and wrapped around Ashur's neck, hearing the sound of breaking wind, Ashur woke up instantly, and purple flames suddenly ignited around him, and the flames on Ashur's body immediately retracted.
"Everyone, be careful! There's something strange about this forest. Ashur shouted as he looked at Fujiman, who was forced back by his own flames.
Hearing Ashur's shout, Chloe and Vermeo also woke up and dodged the vines that were winding around them.
However, Luna and Elle were a little slower to react, and they were suddenly entangled in their feet by Fujiman and rolled into the sky, and the big tree that used Fujiman to entangle their feet actually opened its mouth like a demonic beast to eat them.
"Ah! These trees can really eat people. Ellie exclaimed as she looked at the big mouth that was getting closer and closer to her.
"Luna doesn't want to be eaten by such an ugly tree. Luna exclaimed when she saw that she was being swept into the sky.
Seeing this, Ashur hurriedly flew into the sky and threw a huge purple fireball at the strange tree that encircled Ellie and Luna.
The purple fireball flew towards the open mouth of the strange tree like lightning, and the strange tree suddenly roared in pain like a demonic beast because it was hit by Ashur's fireball, and the vine man who was enveloping Elle and Luna also let go.
Elle and Luna lose their restraints from the strange tree and fall from the sky.
Seeing this, Chloe and Vermeo glanced at each other, and hurriedly made a move, catching Elle and Luna, who fell from the sky, respectively.
"It was so dangerous, it was almost eaten by a tree. Elle landed on the ground, patted her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, more vines suddenly poured out from all directions and attacked everyone.
"Damn! Seeing this, Vermeo quickly picked up Luna and dodged.
Seeing this, Chloe also hurriedly carried Elle to avoid the attacking vineman.
When everyone dodged the sudden attack, Fujiman couldn't help but gasp when he looked around, only to see that the flowers and trees around him seemed to be alive, and the strange trees waved their trunks and rattans towards everyone.
"These flowers and trees are really like monsters that eat people!" said Vermeo in shock as he looked at the flowers and trees with teeth and claws.
Looking at this strange situation in front of him, Chloe couldn't help but be a little surprised, but before everyone could figure it out, the big trees around him waved vines and shot towards everyone.
Seeing this, Chloe hurriedly pressed his palms to the ground, and four ice walls suddenly appeared around him, blocking the vines who were attacking them.
Seeing this, the others also came to their senses and used their abilities to resist these plants that looked like magical beasts.
"What to do, these trees are all alive, even if we want to destroy all these trees and flowers that can eat people. Vermeo looked around and said anxiously.
"If you can't afford to provoke it, let's get out of this area, it can't be that the whole forest is a tree that eats people. Asher looked around and analyzed. As he spoke, purple flames wrapped around his body took the lead in rushing towards the west of the forest.
The flowers and trees around them saw that Ashur was about to run, and they all used vines and branches to attack Ashur.
Seeing this, Ashur saw that the flames around him swirled. The vines who were entangled in Ashur all around were frozen.
Seeing this, the others hurriedly followed Ashur and rushed outside.
When the flowers and trees around them saw that Ashur and the others were about to escape, they all surrounded him to prevent Ashur and the others from escaping.
Seeing this, Ya Xiu waved his palm, and the purple sea of fire suddenly rolled towards the strange flowers and trees that stopped in front of him.
The purple sea of fire passed, and the strange flowers and trees that stood in front of Ashur and the others turned into ice sculptures, and everyone hurriedly took this opportunity to run towards the west of the forest.
