At this time, more and more treants came after hearing the news, and they were also discussing one after another.
Although the war with the Tree Slayers in Fangorn Forest had lasted for nearly four or five years at this time, it was rare for Tree Slayers to be killed. And in most cases, those who were killed were the war treemen who charged at the forefront.
However, the leaping treant with the highest speed has never been killed in battle. Not to mention the weird situation where even the original soul was extracted and completely annihilated.
But soon, there was a thorn tree man who looked a little chunky and beat the ground with a branch, roaring:
"Look at what I found! Footprints! The unique footprints of our tree man! This tree man is standing on the opposite side of Mudbeard. You see, he began to exert his strength in this position, and then rushed up unexpectedly. , threw Mudbeard down fiercely, they were entangled in this place to fight, and those damn tree-slayers attacked beside them, what we were most worried about finally happened, those wild tree-men and tree-slayers united !"
The discovery of the thorn tree man immediately attracted onlookers and was affirmed—because it was a fact! But it is one thing to prove this point. When it comes to what action to take, the simple minds of the tree people have proposed many plans, but none of them have passed, because this matter looks simple, but it is actually quite complicated. If it's good, it's hard to tell what touched the foundation of the entire Fangorn Forest.
Because there were a lot of wild trees in Fangorn Forest, it was naturally difficult to find the murderer with just one footprint.
The relationship between the Wild Trees and the trees of the Treebeard tribe is a bit tense. If it is too tight, and most of the Wild Trees are really forced to the opposite side of the tree butchers, then It is really worth the candle!
"Isn't it possible to track them?" A tree man suddenly raised such a question: "Didn't you track the whereabouts of these people before, Grubb?"
Grubb shook his head slowly and said:
"It was because the other party was unprepared that I tracked them down, and when they left, they used very clever natural spells to dissolve into the forest, and there were also very powerful treants walking with them, and now they are really powerless. "
…
But what happened next began to catch the tree people by surprise.
In the afternoon, another thorn tree man was killed. This thorn tree man was recruited when he attacked another logging camp. There were hobbits, dwarves, humans, and people from the camp. The Spimis of the North.
Probably more than half of the members in this camp came here because of money temptation, but the Sbimi showed up because of pure hatred!
——Because his younger brother was lucky enough to get a lot of money after he came to cut down two trees, and he used all the money to treat his brother's illness. After the money ran out, he could only come here again to take risks.
This time, the younger brother was not favored by the goddess of luck. He was used as fertilizer by the tree people half a year ago and buried in Fangorn Forest. After hearing about this, the elder brother of Sbimi interrupted his treatment and came here. He seriously injured the tree man with his crazy and desperate style of play, and then... the thorn tree man was taken advantage of.
At this time, the adventurers who poured into Fangorn Forest have gradually accounted for nearly 20% of the adventurers who came for hatred. It can be expected that this proportion will increase as time goes by. It is estimated that this is another intention of Saruman to spend a lot of money to acquire Fangorn Forest - to allow greedy adventurers to gradually weaken the strength of the Treebeard tribe.
Undoubtedly, after killing the thorn treant, the people in the camp immediately withdrew, and the angry treants began to chase, but in the process of chasing, a jumping tree treant was ambushed again Although he didn't die this time, he was beaten to a half-mutilation, and it won't be better in a few decades.
However, this tree man at least provided a very clear message, that is, among the people who attacked him, there was indeed a wild tree man among them. This wild tree man should belong to the tree tree family. It was stated clearly, and there was an archer and a magician among those people.
The next morning, the treants in Fangorn Forest prayed devoutly to nature, hoping that the forest would protect them, and yesterday's nightmare would pass away. In view of the previous attacks, they would rather give up the adventurers who felled the forest for the time being. Instead, he set up an elaborate trap, and he must find out the hateful team that attacked him behind the scenes.
However, that team seemed to know their intentions and completely disappeared from their sight.
The patience of the tree people is being worn away by time, because they know that every time they delay, a few trees in the forest will be cut down by the group of greedy tree butchers.
The tree people persisted until noon, but suddenly found black smoke burning in the distance, and there was a faint indescribable smell in the black smoke. For humans and humanoid races, that smell is nothing like burning wood. The difference, but the treant can clearly distinguish it, it is the breath of the corpses of the same kind being burned up! !
Undoubtedly, they rushed over at the same time and witnessed a tragic scene. Two tree men were killed, and one of them was set on fire, but the murderer had disappeared without a trace. To the relief of these tree people, it was not their companions and clansmen who died, but two wild tree people.
The thorn treant who arrived first, Thick Thorn, walked over unsteadily, and began to examine the corpses of the dead wild tree man. For some reason, the cause of death of these two wild tree men seemed difficult to find. Thick Thorn was lying in ambush today. All morning, I was inevitably very impatient, and even for the convenience of my own observation, I rudely and violently dug open the chest of the dead tree man to check whether there was an arrow shot in.
Because the treemen under the leader of the Treebeard tribe have always maintained a contemptuous attitude towards the wild treemen, and more importantly, there is also a wild treeman in that mysterious combination, so this guy is checking the two wild treemen When the dead body is seen, it seems casual and rough!
Grubb, as a direct descendant of Treebeard, was of course also present at this time. Looking at Thick Thorn's actions, he also felt that something was wrong. He was about to speak to stop him, but he thought that Thick Thorn's best friend was also severely injured yesterday. The instigator was A wild treeman of the arbor treeman family, so he hesitated to speak in consideration of the thick thorns.
But Grubb considered the mood of his own people, but forgot one very important thing: he didn't consider the mood of the rest of the Wild Trees! The Wild Trees are not all loners, because they have different ideas from the mainstream, the Wild Trees who were expelled from Treebeard originally had a kind of sympathy for each other.
Therefore, when the wild tree people who came here also smelled the breath, when they arrived at this battlefield, what they saw were the tree people of the treebeard tribe who were usually "high above" surrounding the corpses of their own kind, and the dead tree people It has been disembowelled and torn into pieces!
— One can imagine the mood of these wild tree people at this time! Immediately, the crowd surged, anger began to be ignited, and they began to send out signals to notify their relatives and friends.
Under such circumstances, Grubb stood up and tried his best to explain the actions and motives of his people. When he was about to calm down the anger of those wild tree men, suddenly a short bush tree man stood up. came out, shouting an angry growl:
"murderer!!"
Then, while shouting, he pointed at the thickest thorn tree man with the most violent temper and rushed up!
As the treant who inspected the corpse, Thick Thorn received the most censure, sarcasm and criticism. He was already full of anger, but he was slapped with a vine on the face by the shrub treant, and he immediately became violent. Outburst, dragged this bush tree man over and gave it a few times!
But after these few blows, I saw the bush tree man slumped on the ground, and he was already dead! ! ! !
Under such a trigger, the wild tree people on the sidelines finally couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed forward with furious and hoarse roars. A big conflict that had been brewing for a long time finally broke out, and the civil strife among the tree people was inevitable. Appear!
With conflict, there will naturally be casualties, and with hatred, blood and anger have begun to flow in the deep gap between the tree beard tribe's tree people and the wild tree people!
If it is normal, then Treebeard can still stand up and rely on his great prestige to quell this bloody dispute, but now Treebeard is also in the critical period of protecting his golden fruit, so the turmoil will further worsen, and The conflict quickly spread to the entire Fangorn Forest.
The forest, which was originally not peaceful, has now become a place where three forces intersect and attack, and it is completely chaotic!
…
Needless to say, this is a farce directed by Sheyan and the others, and the dwarf tree man who played the role of the fuse in the conflict is naturally Mr. Farrell's masterpiece. If combat ability is not considered, he can even fight every day. They all choose a tree as their parasitic tree and turn it into a treant.
The real cause of death of the "killed" dwarf treant was that Mr. Farrell's spirit body left and flew away... It had nothing to do with that violent and unlucky thick thorn.
On the morning of the fourth day, Sheyan stood on the campsite, staring at the Fangorn Forest not far away. The sun shone on his face, but his expression appeared to be extraordinarily indifferent. Arriving at his side, he said worriedly:
"Boss, Fangorn Forest is indeed in chaos now, but... I still think your plan is too risky."
