Chapter 83: Captive
The sudden appearance of a large clearing in the middle of the endless forest, overgrown with weeds and dotted with countless flowers, is surprising in itself.
What is even more surprising is that the giant tree in the middle of the clearing, which is not an exaggeration to describe as towering into the sky, standing on the edge of the forest and looking up, it is almost impossible to see the end of the canopy, and it is at least hundreds of meters high, much higher than the other trees in the forest.
Its canopy is so high and covers such a wide range that no other trees can exist for hundreds of meters around the tree, and only flowers and plants can survive in the clearing.
The soft light sprinkled on the grass through the tall canopy and the gap between the forest, making everyone who had just come out of the oppressive forest feel relaxed and relaxed.
Standing at the edge of the forest and meadow and breathing deeply, the air is exceptionally fresh, without the smell of rotten leaves in the forest.
And the scenery of flowers and giant trees in front of you is even more refreshing.
But the crowd did not have time to indulge in their admiration, for no sooner had they emerged from the forest than numerous feathered arrows came from the mother tree and landed at their feet in front of them.
When he looked up, he saw forty or fifty elves, both male and female, standing under the mother tree, each holding a wooden bow, looking at this side with a wary expression.
Zhang Xu waved his hand, and everyone stood in two neat rows with spirit shields in their hands, slowly approaching the open space.
The "Chirp" feather arrows pierced the sky and landed in the ranks of monks, but they were blocked by spirit shields one after another, and they were not a threat at all. More than thirty spirit shields, the light formed by each spirit shield is connected together to form a wall of light, and the queue is tightly protected from the front and above in two directions, there is no gap at all, no matter how accurate the archery is, there is nothing to do with this kind of defense, unless they can forcibly break through the defense of the wall of light with the power of feather arrows. Are there elves of this kind of strength? At least these elves in front of them don't have such strength!
This is a battle between two planes, and compared with the Flying Yellow Realm monks who have been hunting and fighting in the other world for a long time, the combat power of the peace-loving and freedom-loving elves is not at the same level at all. The elves' vaunted archery skills were no harm to the monks.
As the monks approached, the elves were visibly panicked, and an old elf standing on a high place suddenly raised his head to the sky and shouted, making an incomprehensible but subdued voice, the voice was long and short, sometimes flat and sometimes sharp.
And with his voice, there was a sudden violent vibration on the ground, Zhang Xu turned his head to look, and saw that in the forest behind him, one after another huge dryads waved countless branches towards the clearing.
Counting carefully, there were ten dryads, and the forty or fifty elves in front of them were encircling and attacking the thirty monks.
Although these dryads are clumsy, there are too many of them, if they are forced to come, just the wave of the branches will occupy a lot of space, and the monks may no longer be able to form a light wall array under their attacks, and without the protection of the light wall, the elves' bows and arrows will pose a threat to everyone. After all, the monks' bodies can't be shot by arrows, and it's hard to say whether the spirit armor on their bodies can block the elven arrows, and there are many parts of the body that the spirit armor can't protect. At that point, casualties will be inevitable!
Almost instantly, Zhang Xu understood the precipitousness of the situation, and then made a decision. The Dryads are a bit slow, so you must take advantage of the Dryad's arrival to enter the elven queue and defeat these elves first!
"Don't worry about the dryads, destroy these elves first!" Zhang Xufa pointed in front of his sword, and the spirit armor was equipped with a divine talisman to activate, and his body swept towards the elves like an arrow.
Several elves hurriedly shot with arrows, but the arrows landed behind Zhang Xu.
The speed at which the second-order Divine Talisman burst out in an instant could be compared to the speed of the Jindan Monk.
Seeing Zhang Xu, who was rushing over quickly, the elven elder standing at the root of the tree at a high place was startled, and a pair of white bows and arrows suddenly appeared in his hand, and when he raised his hand, an arrow shot towards Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu used the turtle spirit shield to block the air, and was shot in the chest by the feather arrow, but the chest was only slightly painful, the feather arrow fell to the ground, and the spirit shield talisman in the spirit armor played a role, and the defense formed was comparable to the high-grade spirit armor, and the elf arrow could not break the defense.
Seeing that the elven arrows could not hurt him, Zhang Xu made up his mind, put away the turtle spirit shield, rushed into the elves with both hands with his sword, and used the iron sword swordsmanship to stab and slash one after another, with the extremely fast body method, many elves did not have time to dodge, or were cut off the arm holding the bow, or were stabbed in the throat.
In an instant, four or five elves fell under Zhang Xu's sword.
The Holy Maiden Snow Fall in the rear array did not participate in the battle, but quickly flipped the holy text, and every time she flipped it, a light would fall on the monk array, either to boost morale, or to increase defense, all of which were auxiliary but very important spells. And seeing Zhang Xu fighting like a wind, it was very surprising that Xueluo's beautiful eyes flashed, because she knew that Zhang Xu was only at the beginning of foundation building, but the combat power he showed in front of him was much higher than that of the first level of foundation building, and even comparable to Xiong Xian, the peak of foundation building adjacent to Jiedan!
Zhang Xu quickly rushed into the elves, and cut off several arms with bows one after another, so that the elves could no longer shoot with bows and arrows, and threw away their bows and arrows and drew out their war knives. However, it is very tenacious, and it is on par with the impact of the monks' magic swords, and it will not be cut off at all.
The elven elder standing on the high place continued to chant in his mouth, and with his chanting, a green light fell on the elves, and the morale of the elves soared, and some of the elves were cut by the magic sword and were dying, shrouded in green light, and the wounds immediately began to heal, and they picked up the war knife again and fought with the monks.
This elven elder can even heal the spell! Staring at the elder in the heights, Zhang Xu's expression was a little solemn, he knew that if he didn't get rid of this elder, he was afraid that it would not be easy to take down these elves, and if the battle lasted for a long time and waited for the dryad to surround him, the monks would inevitably suffer a lot of casualties.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xu's body flashed, and he gave up dealing with these ordinary elves again, and instead rushed towards the elven elders in the high places.
There were elves who tried to intercept Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu's speed was extremely fast, and he had already bypassed the interception.
Seeing Zhang Xu approaching rapidly, the elf elder finally panicked, and instead of chanting, he took out a turquoise wooden staff and threw it at Zhang Xu's head.
This wooden staff seems to be light and fluttering, but it seems to have the power of ten thousand jun, with the sound of the whirring wind smashed over, Zhang Xu wanted to rely on the body to flash when he found that he could not avoid the smashing of the green staff, had to stretch out the magic sword, vigorously charmed luck, strength increased several times out of thin air, and greeted the green staff.
In the huge impact sound, Zhang Xu's mouth ached, the magic sword in his hand bent down, and the elf elder on the opposite side screamed, and the green staff had already taken off his hand and flew into the air. The elven elder may have strong mana, but he is far from reaching the level of Jindan, and his strength is comparable to that of a mid-foundation building monk, and he can't withstand the attack of Zhang Xu, who has blessed the strong talisman.
Taking advantage of the elven elven elder's shock, Zhang Xu's body advanced quickly, approaching the elven elder's back, the curved magic sword stretched out and hooked the elven elven elder's neck, and the blade stopped on the elven elven elder's skin.
"Let them all stop. Zhang Xu smiled at the Elf Elder, but forgot that the Elf Elder couldn't understand his words.
As if he understood Zhang Xu's words, a string of sentences came out of the mouth of the elven elder, and the elves below immediately stopped fighting, looking at the captured elders in panic one by one.
The battle stopped, but by this time more than a dozen elves had died at the hands of the monks, and about thirty were still alive. The slasher snatched the swords from the elves' hands, took the bows and arrows from their shoulders, and tied them tightly with ropes.
The elven elder was captured, and the ten dryads stopped their progress and stood still in the clearing.
