"Come on, burn, chop."
"Big idiot, big idiot."
"Please don't give up, keep going, we still need a little idiot to tease."
The sounds of mocking the forest were endless. Further away, some tree demons even climbed out of the ground and slowly danced, as if this was a fool's celebration.
Lei Shi glanced at the sky and asked, "Friend Meimo, I have a flying transformation spell, can I fly over the forest from the top of the trees?"
Meimo shook her head, "It's best not to. These tree demons are crazy, they will definitely scream when they see us flying over, attracting more powerful flying magic beasts. Trust me, those flying magic beasts are very powerful, it will be difficult for us to deal with them. The flying magic beasts move in groups, if we can't beat them, our lives will be in danger. I tried it once with a team and lost a member, it's a bad idea to force our way through the sky. "
The green-eyed fox asked, "Is the sky really that dangerous?"
Meimo nodded, "Yes. Some flying magic beasts once challenged the bronze dragon and seriously injured it, think about how powerful they are. As long as we don't go high in the sky, the flying magic beasts won't care about the ground. In their eyes, we are no different from the ground magic beasts. The Copper Spirit Continent has no civilization and no highly intelligent races, the flying magic beasts act on instinct. As long as we go high in the sky, they will definitely see us as enemies. Eagles don't fight with snakes for caves, but sparrows can't if they fly high, this is their instinct. "
Hearing this, everyone was convinced that the sky was not a safe passage.
When mages were on a mission, their safety was always the priority. If their safety was not guaranteed, the mages would rather give up the mission and return the reward than continue. Even if the flying magic beasts were a threat, no one would consider this route, not to mention the possibility of their lives being in danger.
"Meimo, work with me." Tang Shidao waved.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Burn it." Tang Shidao pointed at a big tree and said, "Just burn it, nothing else."
"Okay, it's really useless." As a team member, Meimo only listened to the team leader in the mission.
He waved his hand.
A red fire snake flew out and wrapped around a big tree like a rope.
"So scared. Hahahaha, I'm going to be burned to death. "The tree demon was entangled by the fire snakes, and its branches and leaves grew abnormally. It laughed mockingly as it grew.
The rest of the Tree Demons also called him an idiot.
Meimo turned her head and asked Tang Shidao if he wanted to continue.
Tang Shidao nodded lightly and cast a Plant Growth spell on the Treant that had been set ablaze.
"Are you crazy? This was a nourishing power. Great, I gained more vitality, I grew faster. Are you fools? I won't let you pass, nor will I show you the way. Hahahaha … Idiot, I've grown taller and stronger. "The tree demon laughed.
"Idiot, idiot." The other treants kept on mocking him.
Tang Shidao continued to cast Plant Growth over and over again. He even signaled Meimo to continue burning.
Lei Shi and the Rock Eaters were dumbfounded.
The green-eyed fox frowned.
What was going on?
Do you want to play?
The two of them, one burning and one nurturing, the whole forest was filled with mocking laughter. Tang Shidao kept casting until his magic power was exhausted. Meimo was still burning. When she saw Tang Shidao stop, she signaled if he wanted to continue. Tang Shidao nodded and cast Plant Growth every time he recovered a bit of magic power.
Half a day later.
The sun set in the west.
The Tree Demons had grown several times taller and were laughing mockingly.
Tang Shidao signaled everyone to climb to the top of the tree and rest. They would not do anything at night. At this time, the mocking laughter in the forest became louder. Because they were resting at a higher place, it did not sound so noisy. Meimo did not understand. Did they grow a tree just to be quiet?
If that was the case, they might as well use a sound-blocking spell.
The next morning.
The forest woke up earlier than Tang Shidao and the others. The moment they opened their mouths, they sneered.
"Continue to burn."
Tang Shidao waved his hand and cast a Plant Growth spell. He was determined to nourish the tree to death. Meimo opened her mouth slightly, but she could not persuade him. She could only follow the team leader's instructions. The nourished Tree Demons grew taller and taller, but it did not care at all. On the contrary, it was the one who laughed the most.
The Tree Demons next to it were also laughing, as if they had seen the world's stupidest fool.
Two days later.
Three days later.
Four days later.
Gradually, the nourished Tree Demons grew taller and bigger. They were more than ten times taller than the other trees.
At this time, the team members realized that something was wrong.
As the Tree Demons continued to grow, the mocking forest slowly became quiet. The other Tree Demons went from being quiet to watching silently. In the end, only the tallest Tree Demon was left mocking them.
On the fifth day, the first change occurred.
"Hey, why are you so tall?"
On the sixth day.
"Are you guys whispering?"
On the seventh day.
"Did you secretly give them directions?"
On the eighth day.
"Why do they only nourish you?"
On the ninth day.
"Did you make a deal in private? Did you betray us? "
On the tenth day.
"Unforgivable! You must have betrayed us. Otherwise, why do they only nourish you? You shameless traitor. You've blocked our sunlight, you've stolen our Mana Rainwater, and you've even secretly aided our enemies. "
In just ten days, the mocking forest had undergone an astonishing change.
A lone Tree Demon grew too big. It became a super giant tree, and the other Tree Demons under its feet were like short grass. Although it had been mocking Tang Shidao and his team, it did not betray them at all. However, the other Tree Demons' doubts increased day by day.
It tried its best to explain, but it was useless.
It grew taller every day, but the other Tree Demons did not nourish it at all. In the end, they could not even laugh at it. Because Tang Shidao and his team stopped at a high place, the other Tree Demons could not see them even if they looked up.
"Chop it down and turn it back into a sapling. I'll show you the way!"
"Chop it down!"
"Chop it down!"
The mocking forest roared in unison. This time, it was not directed at Tang Shidao and his team. Instead, it was directed at their own companion: a giant tree that was a hundred times taller and stronger than them.
"Are you sure?" Tang Shidao smiled.
"We laugh at others, but we never lie. Chop it down. We'll show you the way. "The entire mocking forest was roaring.
"I didn't betray you. I really didn't …" The tallest Tree Demon tried to defend itself.
But its companions ignored its opinion.
Perhaps.
They knew that it did not betray them. However, they did not need a giant tree that was a hundred times taller than their companions. It was not fair!
"Rock Eater, Thunder Stone, please chop it down." Tang Shidao stopped nourishing it.
He ordered his teammates to do something.
The rock eater and Thunder Stone had already reacted. They swung their giant axes and giant swords to chop the giant tree. Green-eyed Fox and Meimo stood quietly at the side. Neither of them spoke. They did not understand Tang Shidao's intentions before, but when they saw the changes in the mocking forest, they understood. He deliberately nourished only one tree. So this was what he meant.
This was a blatant and overt plot.
Even if the Tree Demons knew that the giant tree did not betray them, they would not allow such a special tree to exist.
After a while.
The giant Tree Demon fell, and a small sapling emerged from the tree stump. This time, it did not make any mocking sounds. The other Tree Demons were also silent, but their eyes returned to the look of 'this is a normal partner'.
"Captain Tang." Green-eyed Fox addressed him as captain for the first time. "The fruit of the mocking forest is a kind of finished alchemy item. It's best to collect some when you have time."
"Okay." Tang Shidao knew the difference between alchemy materials and finished products.
Materials represented things that needed to be refined.
Finished products represented things that could be used directly.
It would be strange if they did not pick up finished products.
The five of them each collected a pile of 'mocking fruits'. At this time, the mocking forest also opened up a straight path that stretched into the distance. Tang Shidao did not suspect anything. Now, the mocking forest hoped that he would leave quickly. It was impossible for it to play any tricks.
These few days, he did not stop casting spells. He also secretly increased his magic power twice.
The succubus also seemed to have some gains.
The five of them did not say much.
They quickly passed through the forest path and soon arrived in front of a stone wall.
At this time.
The path of the mocking forest behind them closed again, and they laughed. "Fool, fool. We've been fooled, we've been fooled. "
Tang Shidao turned around.
The mocking forest was still again, with an expression as if they had said nothing.
Meimo smiled bitterly. "Captain Tang, we're in trouble. This is the entrance to the Maze of Lies. The mocking forest didn't lie to us. It let us pass, but it led the path to a more troublesome place. The most troublesome areas around the mocking forest are the Wailing Swamp and the Maze of Lies. The Roaring Plains and the Wild Wilderness are much easier and much wider. "
Tang Shidao smiled. "I see. It's okay, we'll face whatever we encounter during the mission. "
Meimo did not say much, and the five of them entered the maze.
"To the left!"
"No, no, to the right!"
"No, to the left!"
"It's to the right!"
At the entrance of the maze, there were two strange faces, one black and one white, on the left and right sides. One of them said left, and the other said right, and they both looked very sincere.
Tang Shidao ignored them and continued forward.
There were only a few corners.
There was no way out.
"Idiot, idiot, I told you to the left."
"Hahahahaha … to the left, to the left."
Tang Shidao stopped and thought for a moment. He walked back to his original position and turned left again. This time, there was no way out after a few turns.
"Hahahaha, to the right."
"Haha, I made a mistake. It's to the right, it's to the right."
The two strange faces, one black and one white, laughed. The Stone-Eating Mage was annoyed again. He took out a giant hammer and smashed it at the maze wall. After a few hits, the Stone-Eating Mage smashed out a "door." Everyone passed through, and the place where they smashed suddenly changed into a passage. At the same time, the two strange faces, one black and one white, appeared on both sides of the passage again, shouting to the right and left.
"Friend Stone-Eating Mage, it's useless. They're mazes to begin with. They can repair themselves and close themselves. "Meimo indicated that there was no need to smash them anymore.
"Maybe I can help." The green-eyed fox suddenly stepped forward.
As a team member, everyone had their own role to play.
Meimo had fire magic, the Stone-Eating Mage had strength, and Lei Shi had defense. The green-eyed fox couldn't not help at all. Getting the mission and getting the rewards weren't the most important rewards of a team mission. In a team mission, the most precious reward was … making friends!
A teammate who only slacked off and didn't put in effort could never be a friend to others.
The green-eyed fox didn't say much.
She released a bunch of small mechanical spiders, which quickly scattered in all directions. These spiders were alchemy items and didn't have much attack power. They were best used to find the way.
Tang Shidao also released a few crows.
Before they flew out.
Suddenly, a few large bats flew out of nowhere and quickly killed the summoned crows. They stared at Tang Shidao and the others with vigilance, as if to say: The sky is our territory! Don't spread your wings carelessly!
Lei Shi asked. Tang Shidao shook his head, indicating that they shouldn't fight.
After waiting for half a day.
The green-eyed fox frowned and said, "Captain Tang, we found the exit. But these exits will change with time and automatically close every once in a while. I'll choose the shortest route. Everyone, speed up and rush over. I don't think we'll succeed, so let's try our best. "
Tang Shidao nodded.
Activating the Nimble Halo, the five of them quickly followed one of the mechanical spiders.
Three minutes later.
The five of them reached the exit just as it closed.
"This way." The green-eyed fox calmly called.
The five of them ran again.
A minute later, they reached the exit just as it closed again.
"This way again."
The third time.
The green-eyed fox led them to three paths. They ran to the exit just as it closed again. Looking at Tang Shidao, the green-eyed fox was very ashamed. "Something's wrong. I've calculated the closing time. There's still time. Sorry, Captain Tang, I can't help. "
"Roar!" The Stone-Eating Monster roared and swung its giant hammer.
The wall collapsed.
Shockingly … the opposite side of the exit was still a wall!
"Idiot, go forward."
"Idiot, go back."
"Idiot, go up."
