Although Sheyan managed to dodge the spear in time, the branch at the end of the wooden spear still scraped a deep wound on his chest and abdomen. If the wound had been any deeper, he would have been disemboweled.
Not only that, he didn't feel the slightest bit of pain from the wound. Instead, he felt a kind of numbing itch. He lowered his head to take a look, only to discover that a layer of green mold had actually grown on the wound on his chest and abdomen. Even the mycelium was swaying and growing joyfully. It was like the growth of moss, rapidly spreading into his body.
Fortunately, the black tentacles of the 'Stairway of the Sun' quickly snaked over and cleaned up the serious infection on Sheyan's wound.
After the spear was shot into the ground, it actually took root on the ground. It quickly grew branches and sprouted, then turned into a small Ent about one meter tall. The Ent chased after Sheyan. The Ent looked very pocket-sized, but its appearance was very rough and fierce. Its arms were covered with blue spikes.
Sheyan's eyes flashed as he pulled out '+ 7 West' with a backhand motion. Then, wherever he ran, his saber flashed and the trees in his path immediately fell down in a crisscross fashion! The pocket-sized Ent could not dodge in time and was smashed down by a big tree. It screamed and screamed, but it was useless.
Similarly, the vision of the treant hiding in the dark, intending to hurl a javelin at Sheyan was also obstructed. He originally wanted to hurl a wooden spear at Sheyan, but could only dispiritedly stop. Instead, he constantly leapt to dodge the falling trees.
After all, the Leaping Treants were not as sturdy as the Treants. If the Treants were to be compared to the human army, the Treants would be the Steel Knights with heavy armor and shields, while the Leaping Treants were the agile Assassins. Hence, they would take damage if they were hit by a tree.
Suddenly, the Leaping Ent chasing after Sheyan found that there were no more fallen trees in front of him. All he could see was the desolate forest and the setting sun. There was no sign of the person he was chasing.
While he was hesitating, the tree trunk that had collapsed on the ground suddenly exploded. Pieces of wood smashed into the Ent's face, and a figure popped out from behind. It was Sheyan!
When a big tree collapsed, Sheyan pounced out and fell down along the trunk of the big tree. Under the cover of the fallen tree trunk, he naturally hid in ambush. He had been quietly waiting for the Leaping Ent for 12.91 seconds!
The Leaping Ent's entire body was covered in a colorful protective layer. It looked like it was wearing a camouflage military uniform. Its legs were deformed and thick. It looked like they were twisted from the aerial roots and plate-like roots of trees with well-developed root systems. Therefore, they had an advantage in terms of movement speed. Its skin did not look so rugged. It was more similar to the skin of mulberry, bamboo and other plants. It was smooth with dense texture.
More importantly, one of its arms looked no different from the other Ents, but the other arm was completely made up of javelin-like branches. It was easy to imagine how convenient it was to throw a javelin. All it needed to do was wave its arm. It completely ignored the process of pulling the javelin, holding it and throwing it.
When Sheyan suddenly appeared from the cover below, the Leaping Ent was obviously caught off guard. It instinctively tried to pull away from Sheyan by activating its leaping ability. Its whole body blurred. It aimed its javelin arm at the enemy and stabbed at him. If Sheyan insisted on pouncing forward, he would have to hit the sharp javelin head first.
But Sheyan had gone to great lengths to set up this ambush. How could he let the Ent escape so easily? A ferocious grin appeared on Sheyan's face. Black light swirled around his right hand. Fleshy tentacles were fluttering on the tips of his five fingers. A black ball of light was rapidly taking shape.
Then, Sheyan let out a furious roar. The veins on his forehead were bulging and his eyes were bloodshot. He threw the ball of light, the 'Beast of Corrosion', at the enemy opposite him like a basketball player dunking a basketball!
After the 'Beast of Corrosion' left his hand, it rapidly transformed in the air and turned into a giant black snake with sharp fangs. It shook its head and wagged its tail as it bit the Leaping Ent in the chest. Strangely enough, its body also slithered onto the Leaping Ent's body.
The Leaping Ent let out a painful cry. It shook its body hard and tore the snake form of the 'Beast of Corrosion' into several pieces. However, in such a short period of time, the 'Beast of Corrosion' had deeply integrated into the Ent's body. It rapidly plunged into the Leaping Ent's body like ink dripping into water!
The Leaping Ent, who had suffered great damage, let out a painful howl. The leaves around it rustled and fell. Large galls had appeared on its smooth skin, and they were torn apart. Black juice with a foul smell flowed out of the galls. Its skin was as bumpy as a toad's skin. A large number of flies had appeared out of nowhere and were flying around, tormenting its nerves.
Sheyan was also seriously injured. He had collided head-on with the javelin thrown by the Leaping Ent. The wound on his abdomen was almost completely penetrated. Although the poison on his abdomen was restrained by the 'Stairway of the Sun', he still felt weak after the javelin pierced through his abdomen.
At that moment, Sheyan clenched his teeth and slashed at the Treant's face with his saber. The Leaping Ent let out a hoarse howl and staggered back while covering its face with its hands.
Sheyan was about to give chase when he felt a slight tremor in the ground. His heart skipped a beat. He immediately changed his route and leaped back into the forest. As he staggered back, he wrapped a high-grade bandage around his abdomen, allowing his HP to continuously recover.
The full name of this bandage was the "Spider Protein High Energy Composite Sewing Bandage". It was produced in the Starship Troopers world. After it was applied, it could accelerate the healing of wounds, decompose rotten flesh, and restore 1,000 HP in 60 seconds. Of course, enemies could not attack the wearer during this period.
The bandage could be said to be quite precious. It could be sold for at least 10,000 points in the nightmare realm, but for Sheyan, who had more than 3,000 HP, it could only be said to be a slow replenishment.
If he wanted to use the 'Beast of Corrosion', he would have to calculate the worst-case scenario. What if 800 points of damage were to suddenly appear? In order to quickly deal with these Leaping Ents who were chasing him, Sheyan had to use the 'Beast of Corrosion' ability.
After recovering approximately 600 HP, Sheyan suddenly felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck. The recovery effect of the bandage was immediately interrupted. He immediately slapped the back of his hand. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his palm. When he retrieved his hand, he saw a mosquito with black stripes and a white belly lying in his palm. This mosquito was at least the size of a thumb. It looked like it was about to burst out with a ferocious aura.
"It was just a mosquito bite, but it was determined to be an attack." Sheyan's pupils constricted. "Don't tell me the enemy is …."
*****
Less than 200 meters away from Sheyan, a strange-looking Leaping Ent stood quietly in the dense forest. Its body was thick, but it had no arms at all. On its left and right shoulders were two huge tree nests that looked like overturned pot lids.
The pot lids were about five or six square meters in size and one meter deep. They were filled with a thick, gelatinous substance that gave off an indescribable smell. The smell may not have any effect on humans or other creatures, but it was enough to attract all kinds of insects!!!
Treebeard, in a fit of anger, chose three big trees from the forest near Sheyan that had the "aptitude" of a Leaping Ent and granted them souls and abilities. The speed of this Leaping Ent was not inferior to the other two Ents. Why was it the last to find Sheyan?
It was because the Ent's attack method was very special. After it appeared, it must first attract enough insects that it could enslave in order to display its greatest effect! It was like an aircraft carrier. It did not have any attack power, but wherever it went, the country would be shaken (this was not an exaggeration. If an American aircraft carrier were to appear in the high seas outside the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, China would definitely pay close attention to it). This was because of the powerful destructive power of the carrier's fighter jets.
After Sheyan was bitten by a mosquito, he was already on high alert, but he did not expect the enemy's attack to be so crazy and fierce! In the blink of an eye, a black mass of mosquitoes and flies swarmed over, almost covering the sky.
In the face of such an attack, goosebumps broke out all over Sheyan's body. That's right, he had a powerful innate ability, 'Stronghold'. A mosquito could at most forcibly reduce his HP by 1 point with each attack. But looking at the thousands upon thousands of poisonous mosquitoes in the sky like a dark cloud, this was a qualitative change. So what if his HP was forcibly reduced by 1 point? So what if he was immune to diseases and toxins (the hidden passive ability of the 'Poison Monarch')? Sheyan could only run away!
Of course, the best way to defend against the attack of the Leaping Ent was to first light a large pile of grass and smoke it, then cover the whole body with soil. The most effective way was to pick up a flamethrower and spray it! Or, he could just go and find the body of the Leaping Ent. (To be continued.
