Among the methods Sheyan came up with, the simplest one was to imitate a mouse and burrow into the ground, using soil to cover himself. It was truly convenient and quick. Although these vicious mosquitoes and venomous flies were juicy, vigorous, and invincible, they still didn't have the ability to dig up soil.
But unless Sheyan had the ability to dig underground, he would be trampled into meat paste by the time Treebeard transformed into a giant Ent.
Sheyan's only AOE attack at the moment was to smash the curse-mix bottles and form a ring-shaped shockwave that would cause damage to the enemies in the range. It also had a stun effect, so the damage was pretty good.
However, this ability had a cooldown of 30 seconds. Moreover, if he wanted to synthesize a bottle of curse-mix, he could only exchange the materials from the realm. The price was still quite high. A bottle of curse-mix would cost him 7,000 to 8,000 utility points.
In addition, Sheyan also had the ability "Plant Man", but he did not dare to use it before he got the Golden Fruit. He did not have enough nature magic to cover the aura of the Plant Man, and he did not have the time to use it while running...
Nevertheless, Sheyan still tried to throw a bottle at them. But when the curse-mix bottle flew out, the mosquitoes and flies seemed to have sensed it and actively flew upwards. Although the curse-mix shockwave formed by the bottle was an AOE attack, it could not reach more than two to three meters high. Therefore, Sheyan's 7,000 to 8,000 utility points only managed to shoot down 300 to 400 mosquitoes and flies that did not have enough time to fly.
"What bad luck...." Sheyan gritted his teeth and thought while running. "That old bastard Treebeard is really powerful. Even a summoned creature created by a divine spell is so powerful. If I were to face him head-on, wouldn't I only be waiting for death?"
While he was talking, the swarm of mosquitoes and flies behind him had already caught up. Although Sheyan was running as fast as he could, running in such a humid and complex jungle was definitely not going to increase his speed. On the other hand, the mosquitoes and flies could fly through the air with great dexterity. With the combination of the two, they naturally got closer and closer to Sheyan.
Hearing the buzzing behind him getting louder, Sheyan abruptly chopped down a small tree beside him. Then, he hugged the small tree and used it as a fly swatter to viciously slap it. Instantly, a large swarm of vicious mosquitoes and flies tailing behind him was dispersed. Then, of course, he immediately turned and fled.
After suffering such a loss, the swarm of mosquitoes actually regrouped and immediately changed their way of chasing. They flew to a height of about 20 meters and gathered together to continue the chase. Obviously, they wanted to wait until they were above Sheyan's head before pouncing on him to bite and suck his blood.
When Sheyan saw this scene, he could not help but think that the Ents in Fangorn forest were indeed very powerful and had their own characteristics. For example, this kind of mosquito and fly bombardment tactic could only be dealt with by contestants who had mastered large-scale three-dimensional AOE attacks.
However, these contestants usually had low survivability or slow movement speed. They could only stare helplessly at the javelin-wielding Ent from before. Therefore, this damned place was most likely provided for large-scale adventuring parties. A person who came here alone would most likely die.
While Sheyan was thinking about this, he heard a terrifying buzzing sound above his head that sounded like a fighter jet swooping down. He suddenly felt a series of stabbing pains at the back of his head and back. The mosquitoes and flies had launched a frenzied attack.
Sheyan groaned, his face turning even paler. Black gas swirled around his left hand, and the terrifying 'Beast of Corrosion' reappeared in the air, then quickly exploded. The venomous liquid, which had self-consciousness and self-intelligence, instantly made a choice based on the current situation. It transformed into a huge black jellyfish out of thin air, enveloping the terrifying mosquitoes and flies in its venom, and then corroding them completely.
Sheyan's attack succeeded, but he did not even dare to scratch the mosquito bites on his back. He continued to run while panting heavily.
Although the 'Beast of Corrosion' ability was very powerful, it was also a double-edged sword like the 'Fist of Seven Injures', which could hurt both the enemy and the user. Sheyan did not dare to use the ability again because he had less than 500 HP left. If he used it, he might die before he could kill the enemy.
Moreover, Sheyan was deeply aware that there wasn't the slightest bit of excitement in slaying those ferocious mosquitoes and flies pursuing him. Because, those mosquitoes and flies couldn't possibly attack him for no apparent reason. Moreover, the source of the attack hadn't even been dealt with yet. Perhaps, the next attack would have already been launched.
The strange-looking Leaping Ent had been following Sheyan the whole time, maintaining a distance of 200 meters between them. This distance was very dangerous on the plains, but in this dense forest, you could not even see things 50 or 60 meters away. Therefore, the Leaping Ent was already very cautious by maintaining a distance of 200 meters between them.
After the terrifying group of mosquitoes and poisonous flies were exterminated, the Leaping Ent suddenly let out a hoarse laugh. It sounded like stones rubbing against each other; it was extremely ear-piercing. While he was chasing after Sheyan, the gelatinous substance in the two huge tree nests on his shoulders began to boil. The smell became stronger and stronger as it absorbed the insects and poisonous bees everywhere. When he sensed that the group of poisonous insects he had sent out had been killed, he immediately shook his shoulders. A large swarm of black-striped, golden-bellied giant bees flew out from the tree nest on his left shoulder and pounced on Sheyan again.
These giant bees were the size of a fist. Not only did they have a purplish-black poisonous sting on their heads, but their mouthparts were also extremely sharp. When they flew, they did not make the buzzing sound of mosquitoes, but rather the whistling sound of bullets piercing through the air. Wherever they passed, the leaves would be smashed into pieces and scattered in all directions! It was almost like a greenish-black evil wind was crisscrossing between the leaves of the forest, galloping wantonly.
Soon, the compound eyes of these giant bees locked onto their target, the human who was running in panic. He had a faint but pure aura of the Fury of the Forest on him. Although they might not be able to sense it from far away, they could still see it clearly when they got close enough, like a light in the darkness.
Having learned their lesson, the bees began to hover in the air above the human, then swooped down. In fact, the most correct tactic was to attack in batches of 100, but the Ent controlling them did not care about that, because the poisonous insects in his tree nests were endless. As long as they were still in the forest, they would not be lacking in means of attack!
However, when these ferocious giant bees swooped down, soil and rocks suddenly flew up from the ground. A burly figure pounced out and blocked in front of Sheyan. Then, he let out a roar and an invisible shockwave spread in all directions. The shield in the figure's hand was also shining with a golden light. He was obviously ready to attack. It was none other than Reef, who had just arrived and let out a 'Cardiac Shattering Roar'.
In the face of the strong wind, these ferocious giant bees rustled and fell to the ground. Some of them even exploded in the air, bursting into a bloody pulp. They couldn't be blamed for not being able to take a beating. It was because of the way they attacked.
There were already a lot of insects in the first place, and their attacks would also carry a certain amount of poison. If they had copper skin and iron bones and tens of thousands of HP, how could other creatures survive? Forget about dominating Middle Earth, where there were Ents, Elves, Humans and the like, basically, could stay away from them.
The Leaping Ent also sensed that the hunting party he sent out had been annihilated once again. He laughed hoarsely and shook his shoulders again. This time, palm-sized moths flew out of the tree nest. These moths had a ferocious ghost eye on their wings. When they flew, they seemed to be blinking constantly, making them look extremely terrifying.
These moths did not have poisonous needles or sharp weapons, but their fat bellies contained a terrifying lethality. These moths were very similar to the combination of suicide moths and farting bugs of the Zerg. Once they were hunted by birds, they would spit out poisonous gas to scare the enemy away. If they were forced into a corner, they would self-destruct to hurt the enemy.
This showed that the Ent's tactical thinking was also very sharp. After the first two batches of insects he sent out were annihilated, he immediately judged that the enemy's combat method was to wait for the insects to gather around him before attacking. Therefore, the Ghost-Eye Moths this time were exceptionally vicious. As long as they got close, they would pose a terrifying threat, regardless of whether the enemy could kill them or not!
However, just as the Ghost-Eye Moths were released, an extremely strong magic fluctuation suddenly came from the west of the Leaping Ent. He turned his head in shock, only to find a human waving his staff fiercely and chanting a spell loudly. The Leaping Ent was about to dodge, but a large black spider web with a radius of more than 20 square meters appeared out of thin air and fell down from the sky.
Rank 2 arcane spell: Spider Web!
As soon as the spider web appeared, it directly trapped the Ghost-Eye Moths that had not completely flown out. Although these moths self-destructed one after another, there was no effect at all. It was like punching mud with a fist. Other than splashing mud all over themselves, they could not make a hole in the mud.
Then, a rich fire mana began to gather on that human's magic staff. Treants were most afraid of fire, so they were extremely attracted to this kind of spell. That Treant immediately used his Leap ability to teleport away, so that he could easily get rid of the web's shackles. (To be continued.
