A small exploration team consisting of five people was trudging through the jungle with difficulty.
This was an expedition team with powerful combat power, which could be seen from the composition of their team.
A strong warrior was in charge of clearing a path in front of the team, using his greatsword to carve out a narrow path in the dense forest. There was a skinny thief following behind the warrior. The thief's beady eyes were constantly scanning the surrounding shadows and the mottled shadows of the trees. He appeared to be very cautious.
Apart from that, there was also an archer who had his bow drawn and was on guard, as well as two powerful magic-breaking knights who had taken off their heavy knight armor and were only wearing chainmail.
Dense forest, lush forest.
As soon as one plunged in, one could only see shades of green. It was difficult to see any other color.
Ancient tree roots stretched out, tough vines intertwined together, and bushes grew everywhere. In addition, there were many unknown wildflowers and weeds. It was enough to fill up the gaps between the tall ancient trees. Traversing through such a primitive jungle was undoubtedly an extremely painful thing for unprepared travelers.
Gurgling streams, mountain streams that were neither too high nor too low, lush and green valleys … These were common scenes in the forest. If they were in the plains, it would only take them a quarter of an hour to cross. However, in this dense forest, it would take them two to four hours to cross each one of them with great difficulty.
The warrior, thief, and archer were experienced in the Greenland Forest, so they didn't care about the difficulties in front of them. However, the two magic-breaking knights couldn't get used to the pain of trekking through mountains and rivers once they left their magic colts.
They had only traveled less than seven miles into the forest, and the two magic-breaking knights were already sweating profusely. They felt that the simple chainmail on their bodies was as heavy as a mountain.
But even so, the two magic-breaking knights didn't complain about being tired, nor did they take the initiative to take a break. They clenched their teeth and held on, following behind the three adventurers step by step, exploring the forest before them bit by bit.
After arriving at the bottom of a small cliff, the team finally stopped to rest.
The two magic-breaking knights painfully moved their heavy bodies to the side of a flowing mountain stream and began to enjoy the cold water. The leader of the Brute Force Warriors also did the same.
If it weren't for him, it would have been impossible for these two knights who liked to wrap themselves in iron cans to reach this place.
The archer was a middle-aged man with a thin body, thin lips, and sharp eyes. Unlike his companions, he didn't rush to the stream to drink. Instead, he leaned against a tall ancient tree at the bottom of the cliff and looked around vigilantly. From time to time, he would tilt his head to listen to the movements in the forest.
Any strange sound would cause him to hold his bow and wait. As long as he felt that something was wrong, the arrow on the bowstring would shoot out at the first moment.
The thief was even more agile. While everyone was resting, he climbed to the top of the cliff using his hands and feet. He looked around, and from time to time, he bent down and gestured to the archer using sign language.
"How is it? Did Jack discover anything? "one of the knights couldn't help but ask.
Jack was the thief's name.
The archer shook his head with a pale face: "Nothing! This forest is too quiet. I've been in the Greenland forest for five years, and I've never seen such a quiet forest. It's so quiet that I can't even find a small animal! My Lord, this forest has been shrouded by an ominous aura. Should we go back? "
The younger knight said in a deep voice with a firm face: "You can't go back. We hired you here to find out where the nest of the evildoers is. So before we find something, we can't go back! If you escape, you'll be severely punished when you go back. So let's give up on that stupid idea and think about how to complete the mission safely! "
The older knight took out an old leather map from his bosom and carefully marked their location on it. From the zigzagging route, it could be seen that they still had a long way to go in the forest.
The brute warrior shrugged and showed a helpless expression when he heard the words of the knight. The archer, on the other hand, showed a distressed expression, and his expression became absent-minded.
However, while he was in a daze, a vine hanging down from the tall ancient tree he was leaning against began to move strangely even though there was no wind. Silently, the vine that was about to touch the ground coiled up like a snake and slowly raised its tentacles.
The front of the vine suddenly split open, revealing a pair of beast-like fangs.
Just as the rattan slowly squirmed, the sharp teeth at the tip of the rattan were about to touch the neck of the archer, Luo Guo Lu, the thief at the top of the cliff leapt down. The throwing knife in his hand whistled past the archer's ear, striking the tip of the rattan's tentacle.
Clang! The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the archer's body trembled violently. He didn't turn around, and instead, he rolled forward.
The vine that was hit by the throwing knife not only didn't break, but even made a metallic sound similar to the collision of swords and knives. After being blocked by the throwing knife, the vine didn't bite the archer's neck. The sharp teeth collided with each other and made a strange sound.
Apparently, knowing that it had been exposed, the wrinkled ancient tree that was rooted at the bottom of the cliff let out a strange squeaking sound. Its entire body actually pulled out fine and vigorous roots from the ground, twisting into lower limbs that looked like human legs, and slowly approached the few of them.
And on its body, the dozens of hanging vines were waving in the sky, and at the end of the vines were sharp mouths, making all kinds of terrifying biting sounds.
"Damn it … What kind of monster is this?!" The brute warrior roared loudly and waved the big sword in his hand as he rushed forward.
As a small adventurer team, such dangerous work like charging and breaking through enemy lines could only be done by him. His two companions couldn't handle such a strange and powerful monster. As for the two magic-breaking knights, as the employer, they had the right to remain neutral before the adventurers failed.
The archer quickly distanced himself from the tree-like monster, and the bowstring in his hand was making continuous explosive sounds, shooting sharp arrows at the enemy like a line. Since it was also the first time he saw such a monster, and he couldn't identify the enemy's weak point, he could only choose to attack the thick trunk of the enemy.
Obviously, the thief had the same idea as him, and the poisoned throwing knife in his hand was also aimed at the thick parts of the enemy's body.
Unfortunately, most of the attacks from the two were smashed away by the rattan tentacles that were waving wildly. Even if the arrows and throwing knives occasionally hit the ancient tree, they didn't cause any damage to it.
Obviously, this terrifying monster was not afraid of the attacks from small sharp weapons!
The Brute Force Warrior circled around the ancient tree and slashed at it a few times. The tough bark on its body was chopped into wood chips and green juice splashed everywhere. But before he could cause more damage, a thick root curled up from the ground and wrapped around his legs, dragging him to the ground.
The ancient tree wriggled its "legs" and slowly moved towards the brute warrior. The rattan tentacles hanging down from the crown of the tree were constantly opening and closing, as if it wanted to skin the warrior alive.
The two magic-breaking knights looked at each other and nodded knowingly, instantly activating their runic equipment. A translucent energy shield popped out from the small hand shield tied to the forearm of the left hand, and a wisp of elemental flame began to flicker on the runic sword in the right hand, gradually extending to the entire blade.
Energy shield and flaming sword.
The two magic-breaking knights were also experienced people, and they knew that fire was undoubtedly the biggest enemy of this kind of thick-skinned plant monster.
One of the magic-breaking knights strode forward, swinging the flaming sword in his hand with great force. The flaming sword left a half-moon mark in the air, and cut through the bundle of roots that bound the brute warrior.
The roots were broken, and sticky green sap splattered everywhere.
The ancient tree monster trembled in pain, and all the rattan tentacles moved to the front of its trunk, biting at the two magic-breaking knights.
It had to be said that the magic-breaking knights with their runic equipment were the natural enemies of all monsters!
The non-elemental energy shield could block almost all spells except for curses and penetration spells, and it also had good defense against physical attacks. This was enough to ensure the safety of the magic-breaking knights. Then, with the flaming sword in their hands, they could deal unimaginable damage to their enemies.
If the adventurers were to deal with this ancient tree with its primitive bark armor, they would not be able to kill it without at least seven or eight casualties. But now, with the powerful defense and attack of the magic-breaking knights, they only had to pay the price of light injuries to the brute warrior to set the ancient tree on fire.
That's right, when the magic-breaking knights cut a deep hole in the ancient tree and used their flames to ignite the green sap, the ancient tree let out an ear-piercing screech and fell into the sea of flames in agony.
The three-man adventurer team was naturally very happy to be able to successfully destroy such a powerful monster.
But just as they were about to happily plunder the burnt remains of the ancient tree, the two magic-breaking knights growled in a deep voice, "Come back! Get ready, the real enemy is coming! "
The three-man adventurer team was shocked to hear this.
This … such a powerful monster was not the enemy's main force?
Just as they were doubtful, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from the nearby forest.
Immediately, a large swarm of black shadows swarmed out of the forest, screaming as they rushed towards them.
"Bats! It's a group of bats … "
