After Hussein finished speaking, he flicked the edge of the sword lightly, and the worn-out long sword actually made a clear and low-pitched sound in the knight's hand. Because Du Wei was beside him, he could clearly feel a trace of cold air passing by him, which made the hairs all over his body stand on end, and he couldn't help shivering.
Dardanelle also looked around nervously: "What did you find? Could it be a golden-eyed python?"
"No." Hussein said coldly: "Golden-eyed pythons are solitary monsters, and there are... a lot of them."
In the air, there was a faint sound like the rustling of branches and leaves, and then from a distance, there seemed to be a muffled thunder-like sound, which vibrated the surrounding trees and the snow on the rocks. fall.
In addition, Du Wei could also feel strange voices one after another. These voices seemed to be talking, buzzing, but they didn't sound like human voices, let alone the howling of monsters, but mixed with those voices. In the sound of rustling leaves shaking, it seems to be the sound of swarms of bees...
Suddenly, the sound of clicking, clicking, and clicking came from countless places around the three of them, like the sound of breaking wood, and then the sound was loud!
Next, Du Wei was an eye-opener!
First of all, a cedar tree about 20 steps away from them suddenly shook by itself, and then the roots of the whole tree were automatically pulled out from the snow! With icicles and dirt. After shaking a few times, the two huge roots spread apart like two human legs, and then took two steps forward in a clumsy way!
Du Wei suddenly woke up!
The rustling buzzing sound seemed to be some kind of wake-up signal! Soon, in the surrounding forest, countless trees began to shake, and then "woke up"! The trees seemed to come alive. Pulled out his roots from the snow, and then walked awkwardly in the snow like a human.
Du Wei and Dardanelle were stunned, but Hussein had a pensive expression on his face, holding a sword in his hand, squinting at the trees that had come to life.
These "tree people" gathered more and more, from a dozen to dozens, these huge bodies densely surrounded the mouth of the canyon, but kept a certain distance from Du Wei and the other three people. Eyes, no mouth. But they have lots of arms! Those branches curl up. Many treants used their branches to roll up "weapons" from the ground.
Some were huge rocks, some were frozen soil cracked from the snow, and some simply grabbed large chunks of ice and rolled them up with branches. Slowly towards the mouth of the canyon after all!
"They... are preparing to attack us?!" Du Wei shouted loudly: "Let's back off! Go into the canyon!"
"Wait! Wait!" Hussein's voice was very calm: "These are treants! I know this kind of creature... But treants are kind-hearted monsters. They never take the initiative to attack other things. Don't act rashly! If you annoy them, they can wake up more trees! Don't forget, we are in a frozen forest! There are trees everywhere!"
Just as we were talking, suddenly, the tree men standing in the front row seemed to be startled by the conversation between the two, and the big tree let out a strange roar (Du Wei couldn't understand, these things have no mouths, how could they make such a roar? sound). During this roar, the "hands" of several treants threw stones and ice cubes towards the place where the three of them were standing!
"Damn it!"
Du Wei called out. He quickly chanted a spell, and two wind blades shot out, smashing a huge ice block in mid-air, while the other wind blade swung away a cover.
Facing the dense rocks smashed down, Hussein suddenly grabbed Du Wei's collar with one hand, and then slammed Dardanelle away with the hilt of his sword on Dardanelle's chest. Immediately Hussein grabbed Du Wei and jumped to the side...
There was a dense roar, and the dense "rock rain" immediately smashed countless big holes in the large open space where the three of them were standing at the canyon mouth just now. Du Wei was terrified and turned his head to look at the Hussein took a look: "Dude! What did you just say! Good-natured? Will not take the initiative to attack? They almost smashed us to pieces!"
A tree man strode over, lifted the huge tree root (its foot), crushed the stone statue at the mouth of the canyon with one kick, and then let out a roar.
Behind him, hundreds of huge, giant tree men responded like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
"Hey! They are not very friendly! It seems that they are about to attack. Are we still standing here stupidly?" Du Wei smiled wryly.
"Nonsense, there are trees everywhere here, unless you can run out of the frozen forest immediately! Otherwise, the treants can wake up all the trees in the entire forest to become their partners! Don't annoy them!"
"Damn it, I didn't mess with them." Du Wei scolded with a smile.
A tree man suddenly bent down, and the huge branch swept towards the three of them fiercely. Hussein was also a little annoyed, a faint golden light flashed across his body, he shouted, and swept the broken sword in his hand After passing by, the faint golden light flashed, and the tree man's "hand" was immediately cut off horizontally!
As soon as the Cavaliers made a move, they simply didn't do anything! He put down Du Wei, but he rushed forward! Rolling on the spot, avoiding the huge foot of a treant like an awl, and then slashing across with a backhand sword, with a click, the root of the tree was cut off by him. Fall back.
The weakness of this kind of huge guy is that it moves slowly. When one treant fell down, it almost knocked down three or four companions. It's like dominoes. One pour is one piece.
The knight rushed into the crowd of trees, relying on his small body, jumping and running back and forth in the gaps between the trees, his sword had already cut down seven or eight trees, but the trees couldn't hit him at all. , on the contrary, a lot of attacks were hit on the body of the companions, and all the people in the treant line were turned on their backs for a while...
Just when Du Wei was relieved, the rustling buzzing sounds from afar suddenly became urgent. This seemed to be an order, and all the treants immediately roared. They no longer tried to smash Hussein with their huge and slow hands and feet clumsily, but suddenly, the leaves all over the treants trembled. It fell down, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, those leaves were like blades, sweeping towards Hussein and roaring away!
This kind of attack is much more terrifying! It is almost comparable to countless magicians sending out countless wind blades at the same time! No matter how fast the knight was, he couldn't dodge the leaves that hit his head and face from all directions. He immediately rolled on the ground, and then his fighting spirit dissipated. The whole person turned into a golden air mass. The round golden ball of light surrounded the body, blocking all the leaves... For a moment, the dense leaves almost obliterated the knight, and his small body instantly turned into a grass pile covered with leaves. .
It's not that Du Wei refuses to help - he just wants to help. But just as he showed his head, he snorted twice. Two leaves were nailed to a rock in front of him! The soft leaves are even deeply inserted into the rocks! Du Wei and Dardanelle could only hide behind the rocks.
Hussein was already covered by leaves, but the knight took a deep breath, and suddenly spread his arms, shaking off the leaves all over his body amidst the fighting spirit. Under the attack of the missing leaves, it will be too much for a long time. At this moment, the two pupils in Hussein's eyes seemed to have turned golden, and the long sword in his hand turned into a golden light!
Du Wei hid behind a rock. I heard an explosion...
boom! !
The golden sword qi swayed, cutting through the roots of the tree people around in an instant! Even the few treants who are close. Under the turmoil of the sword, the entire drive was broken inch by inch, and the huge body was instantly turned into a pile of broken wood by the indestructible sword energy!
Hussein's move was astonishing. After the golden light dissipated, all the treants within 20 meters around him were turned into pieces of wood with the place where he was standing as the center, and the treants a little further away also turned into pieces of wood. They were all lying on the ground! With this sword strike, more than half of the hundreds of treants were killed by him!
However, this sword obviously consumed a lot of the knight's energy. He was originally wounded, and his vitality was far from recovered. After this sword, his breathing was also a little uneven. Panting, a little sweat appeared on his forehead.
Du Wei and Dardanelle glanced at each other, jumped out from behind the rock at the same time, and quickly ran to Hussein's side. Dardanelle quickly threw Hussein on him and dragged him towards Running behind the rock, Du Wei immediately ignored the consumption of mana, and shot out as many fireballs as possible in one breath, igniting the piles of wood around him, and then turned around and followed suit.
"Run into the canyon!" Du Wei shouted.
"How to run! The entrance is blocked!" Dardanelle shouted.
In the first wave of rock-throwing attacks just now, the entrance to the originally narrow canyon was blocked by rocks.
"Then hide behind the rock first!" Du Wei shouted.
The three retreated to the place where Du Wei and Dardanelle were hiding just now. But behind him, the rustling buzzing sound from the forest came again, this time the sound was louder than the first time, and the sound spread farther!
"They are calling more companions." Hussein sighed: "Let me go, I just used the sword too hard just now... Well, in normal times, I can kill those things with one sword !"
"If you were still a holy knight in normal times, you wouldn't be chased to this ghost place." Du Wei smiled wryly, "You are injured now, and your strength is at most 30 to 40 percent, but you can't deal with these endless monsters. Can you summon that old guy? I don’t think it’s useless to use martial arts to attack these things. It’s best to use magic to solve it... a magic that strikes in a large scale."
"Wait, it doesn't seem right..." Dardanelle lay on the rock to observe, and suddenly lowered his head, "They didn't attack, but retreated. They... seem to be waiting for something!"
"What?" Du Wei poked his head out.
