Age of Adepts

Chapter 200: Jungle battle

Views:

A small expedition team of five trekked hard in the jungle.

This is a powerful expedition team, which can be seen from their team composition.

A powerful warrior with amazing brute strength was in charge of opening the way ahead, using a large sword in his hand to cut a narrow path through the dense bushes among the trees. Behind the warrior was a thin thief, darting around in the surrounding shadows and mottled tree shadows, looking cautious.

In addition, there is an archer who is ready to shoot, with a face full of vigilance, and two powerful spell-breaking knights who have taken off their heavy knight armor and only wear a chain armor.

The vast jungle, the lush forest.

When you plunge in, you can see thick or light green everywhere, and it is very difficult to see other colors.

The ancient tree rhizomes stretching out, the tough vines intertwined together, and the shrubs growing everywhere, plus many unnamed wild flowers and weeds, are enough to fill the gap between the tall and ancient trees tightly. It is undoubtedly an extremely painful thing for unprepared travelers to walk through such a primitive jungle.

A gurgling stream, a mountain stream that is neither high nor low, a lush valley... These common scenes in the mountains and forests, placed in the plains, may only take half a quarter of an hour to cross, but they can be placed in this kind of forest with tall trees and dense forests. It will take them an hour or two to trek over with difficulty.

Warriors, thieves, and archers are all good players who have been hanging out in the Greenland forest all year round, so they don't care about the difficulty in front of them. But the two lawbreaker knights who followed closely behind, once they left the magic horse, it was difficult for them to adapt to the pain of wading through mountains and rivers.

Only less than seven miles into the mountain forest, the two lawbreaker knights were already sweating profusely, and the simple chain armor on their bodies felt as heavy as a mountain.

But even so, none of the two lawbreaker knights complained of suffering or tiredness, and none of them offered to take a break. They gritted their teeth and struggled, and followed the three adventurers step by step, exploring the forest in front of them bit by bit.

After reaching the bottom of a small cliff, the team finally stopped to rest.

The two law-breaking knights moved their heavy bodies to the side of the gurgling mountain stream in pain, picked up the cold mountain water and drank happily. The same thing they did was the brute force warrior who led the team.

If it wasn't for his overcoming obstacles along the way, it would have been impossible to reach here with these two law-breaker knights who usually like to wrap themselves in iron cans.

Archer is a middle-aged man with thin body, long thin lips and sharp eyes. He did not rush to drink by the stream like his companions, but leaned against a tall ancient tree at the bottom of the cliff, looking around vigilantly, from time to time Listen to the movement in the jungle.

Any weird sound will make him hold his bow and wait, as long as he finds anything wrong, the sharp arrows on the bowstring will shoot out immediately.

And that thief was even more agile, he climbed up to the top of the cliff with both hands and feet while everyone was resting, looked around there, and bent down from time to time to sign something with the archer.

"What's the matter? Did Jack find anything?" A law-breaker knight couldn't help asking after he was full.

Jack is the name of the thief.

Archer shook his head palely: "I didn't find anything! This jungle is so quiet. I have wandered in the Greenland forest for 5 years, and I have never seen such a quiet jungle. It is so quiet that I can't even find a small animal." ! My lord, this jungle has been shrouded in an ominous atmosphere, shall we go back?"

The slightly younger law-breaker knight said with a firm face, "You can't turn back. We hired you here to find out where those evil people's lairs are, so before we get something, which one of us You can't turn back! If you escape privately, you will be punished the most severely if you go back. So let's give up the boring thoughts and think more about how to complete the task safely!"

The older lawbreaker took out an old leather scroll map from his pocket, and carefully marked his location on it. From the winding road map above, it can be seen that the mountain road they need to explore is still very long.

Hearing what the lawbreaker knight said, the brute force warrior shrugged, showing a helpless expression. And the archer had a distressed expression on his face, and his expression became dazed.

However, when he was in a daze, a vine hanging from the tall old tree he was leaning on strangely and automatically without wind. Silently, the rattan that was about to reach the ground coiled like a snake, and slowly raised its tentacles.

The front end of the rattan split open suddenly, revealing a pair of beast-like fangs and sharp teeth.

Just as the rattan was slowly wriggling, and the sharp teeth at the front were almost touching the neck of the archer, the thief on the top of the cliff jumped down, and the flying knife in his hand flew past the archer's ear with a piercing scream. Scraped, right in front of the tentacles of the rattan.

There was a crisp sound of metal and iron clanging, and the archer's body trembled violently. He didn't look back, and rolled forward directly.

Not only was the rattan cut by the flying knife not broken, but it even made a metal sound similar to that of a sword colliding. Blocked by the flying knife, the swooping rattan missed the archer's neck, and the fangs and teeth collided together, making a rattling sound.

Apparently knowing that he had been exposed, the old wrinkled tree rooted at the bottom of the cliff made a loud creaking noise, and the whole body unexpectedly pulled out dense and vigorous roots from the ground, twisting them together like human legs. His lower limbs slowly approached several people.

And on its body, the dozens of vines hanging down are waving all over the sky, and the sharp mouths are opened at the ends, making all kinds of frightening and terrible bite sounds.

"Damn it... what kind of monster is this!" Roaring loudly, the brute force warrior charged up, waving the big sword in his hand.

As a small team of adventurers, he could only do dangerous tasks like charging into battle. His two companions couldn't handle such a strange and powerful monster. As for the two lawbreaker knights, as employers, they have the right to remain neutral until the adventurers fail.

The archer quickly distanced himself from the tree-shaped monster, and the bowstring in his hand was bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang, sharp arrows shot towards the enemy like a line. Since it was also the first time he had seen a monster like this, when he couldn't identify the enemy's vitals, he could only choose to attack the enemy's thick tree trunk.

The thief obviously agreed with him, and the poisoned throwing knife in his hand also desperately greeted the enemy's thick body.

It's a pity that most of the attacks of the two were smashed away by the crazily swinging rattan snake touch. Even if there were occasional bows and arrows and throwing knives stuck on the ancient tree, they couldn't bring any influence to it.

Obviously this terrifying monster is not afraid of small sharp weapons!

The brute force warrior slashed around the ancient tree a few times, and the sawdust from the wrinkled and tough bark on its body flew, and the green juice splashed. But before he could inflict more damage on him, a thick root that rolled close to the ground wrapped around his legs and dragged him to the ground.

The ancient tree squirmed its forked "legs" and slowly moved towards the brute force warrior. The rattan snakes hanging from the canopy kept opening and closing, as if trying to swallow the warrior alive.

The two lawbreaker knights looked at each other, nodded knowingly, and instantly activated the rune armament on their bodies. A translucent energy shield popped out of the small hand shield tied to the forearm of the left hand, and a ray of elemental flames on the rune sword in the right hand began to flicker, and gradually extended to the entire blade.

Energy shield and flaming sword.

The two law-breaker knights are also experienced people. For this kind of rough-skinned and thick-skinned plant monsters, flames are undoubtedly their biggest nemesis.

A law-breaker knight strode forward, slashing the flaming sword vigorously in his hand, and the flaming blade that came out of his body burned a half-moon-shaped scorched mark in the air, from the bundle of roots that bound the brute warrior to the ancient tree. Slash through.

The roots snapped, and the sticky green juice splashed everywhere.

The painful body of the ancient tree-shaped monster trembled, and all the rattan snakes moved to the front of the torso, biting towards the two spellbreaker knights.

It has to be said that the lawbreaker knight armed with runes is the natural enemy of all monsters!

The non-attribute energy shield can block almost all spells except curse and penetrating witchcraft, and it also has good defense against physical attacks. This fully guaranteed the safety of the lawbreaker knight itself. Then, relying on the physical and flame dual attributes of the flame long sword in his hand, it can cause incalculable and terrible damage to the enemy.

This kind of ancient tree with primitive bark armor, if it is handed over to adventurers, it will be difficult to kill it without paying seven or eight casualties. But now, relying on the powerful defense and attack capabilities of the lawbreaker knights, they only paid the price of minor injuries to the brute warriors and set the ancient tree on fire.

Yes, when the law-breaker knight cut a deep gap in the ancient tree, and ignited the green juice with flames, the entire ancient tree let out a human-like ear-piercing neighing, and plunged into the sea of flames in pain.

Being able to successfully eliminate such a powerful monster, the 3-person adventure team was naturally extremely happy.

But just when they were happily planning to search for some loot from the burnt remains of the ancient tree, the two lawbreaker knights shouted in a low voice: "Come back quickly! Get ready, the real enemy is coming soon !"

The three-person adventure team was shocked when they heard the words.

This... Such a powerful monster is not the main force of the enemy

Just when they were doubtful, the sound of wings flapping like a tsunami suddenly came from the nearby forest.

Immediately, a large cloud of black shadows swarmed out from all over the forest, rushing towards them frantically screaming.

"A swarm of bats! It's a swarm of bats..."

In the next second, their cries were overwhelmed by a flood of vampire bats!
