In reality, there weren't that many high-rank magic beasts on the outskirts of the forest. Otherwise, Sunier wouldn't have had to travel so far to find magic beasts. Direct conflict between Ironhide Bulls and treants was even rarer. They were only guided by instincts and instincts. As such, the Ironhide Bulls were quite nervous in the face of treants as they were of a higher rank than them. The treants had stopped in their tracks because there were simply too many Ironhide Bulls. If there were only two or three Ironhide Bulls, the treants would've swaggered toward them a long time ago.
The two treants faltered slightly at the sight of the unstoppable tide of ashen light hurtling toward them. They extended their arms, and countless branches wriggled and extended in a frenzy like peacocks fanning their tails in an attempt to intimidate their opponents. Unfortunately, Ironhide Bulls were very stubborn. If they did, there was nothing that could stop them aside from death. Either they would die, or their enemies would die.
The two treants were rather flustered upon seeing that their intimidation was ineffective. They continued to wave their arms through the air as they retreated. However, their speed was pitifully slow. Moments later, the Ironhide Bull in the lead had already caught up to them, and its sharp horns crashed directly toward one of the treants.
Of course, the tree monster wasn't going to just sit there and wait for its death. Its claws struck the Ironhide Bull first, and clumps of branches instantly bound the Ironhide Bull tightly. However, the inertia created by its body, which weighed several thousand kilograms, was simply too great. The Ironhide Bull had already pounced forward, and its sharp horns had pierced deeply into the tree monster's body.
The treant convulsed with pain, and its other claw struck the Ironhide Bull at the same time. At this moment, the other Ironhide Bulls had already caught up to it. A string of resounding booms rang out, and the treant's body began to sway violently like a lone boat in a stormy sea. However, during battle, tree demons would always plunge their lower limbs deep into the ground. In terms of stability, no living creature could compare with them. Even though the Ironhide Bulls were extremely ferocious, they were only able to break some of their lower limbs. It was virtually impossible for them to send the tree demons flying.
Thus, a chaotic battle ensued. Several Ironhide Bulls surrounded two treants and engaged in a fierce battle. In terms of offensive prowess, the treants were far inferior to the Earth Bears. Treants relied on their large numbers of branches to tie down and kill their opponents, while the Ironhide Bulls had extremely sturdy leather armor, so they weren't afraid of thorns at all. After losing their momentum, they would at most be immobilized by the thorns. If the treants wanted to tie them down, then they would rather starve to death.
Each tree spirit had two claws, but there were six Ironhide Bulls engaged in battle. Two of the Ironhide Bulls were attacking the tree spirit at all times, and the tree spirit could only take the brunt of the attacks. Meanwhile, the other Ironhide Bulls were struggling with all their might.
The situation was very clear from the very beginning. The tree spirits were at an absolute disadvantage. They couldn't kill their enemies, and they couldn't escape, either. It was only a matter of time. Even if their opponent was the Earth Bear, the tree spirits wouldn't be in such a passive position. They would use all of their branches to tie down the Earth Bear, then engage in a battle of attrition.
Morrisons led the way while Han Jin followed behind. The two of them rushed forward, and the little Ironhide Bull suddenly began to struggle. It yelled incessantly at Han Jin, as if it were begging Han Jin to help it. However, Han Jin ignored it. Instead, he ran past less than three meters away from it. The little Ironhide Bull lay on the ground in disappointment as it stared blankly at Han Jin's departing figure.
Moments later, Han Jin, Morrisons, and Sunier reunited. Han Jin looked on at the battle up ahead with a smile, and said, "Looks like we don't have to do anything."
"You just love to slack off." Sunier chuckled.
The tree spirits' defensive prowess wasn't as freakish as that of the Ironhide Bulls, but it was still quite powerful. After losing momentum, the Ironhide Bulls' horns were unable to stab into their bodies, and they could only scratch against the thick bark of the trees. However, they could only stab once or twice, but no one would be able to take it if this went on for too long. It was like stabbing someone with a needle. Stabbing someone once wouldn't inflict any damage, but stabbing someone with hundreds of needles in the same spot was no different from stabbing someone with a knife.
The tree spirits' bark began to peel off, and green sap continued to seep out from within. They were in extreme pain, and they used their claws to tie down the Ironhide Bulls. However, the freed Ironhide Bulls immediately began to unleash new attacks. At most, they were only able to shift the location of their wounds, but that didn't affect the battle at all.
Han Jin and the others appeared to be very relaxed. In particular, Han Jin was sitting on the grass as if he were watching a movie. Sometimes, he really was very lazy, but he had the potential to benefit from everyone. If he could benefit from sitting down, why should he work so hard?
After what seemed like an eternity, the tree spirits' resistance became more and more feeble. Morrisons picked up his giant sword with a sinister smile on his face. "Now … it's time for me to show my might!"
Han Jin couldn't help but roll his eyes. Ever since Morrisons had mastered battle techniques, he had gradually developed a tendency to worship himself, and he would often say things like, "Let me decide everything!" Or, "Dirty bastard, let me show you what a true battle technique is!"
"Piss off, piss off," Han Jin said in a resigned manner.
Morrisons chuckled incessantly. Just as Han Jin was used to his arrogance, he was also used to Han Jin's rudeness. However, a sharp light suddenly flashed through his eyes, and he locked his gaze onto one of the tree spirits. He then sprang forward in a straight line.
A ball of murky Battle Energy erupted from Morrisons' body. In the next instant, Morrisons had already leaped into the air and slashed his longsword down. As he slashed his longsword through the air, a vast expanse of light was unleashed, within which were countless specks of starlight. It was as if a dazzling galaxy had descended into the mortal realm.
Without any sound, the upper half of the tree spirit's body flew into the air for over a dozen meters, while the lower half of its body quickly withered away. Morrisons landed firmly on the ground and turned his head slightly to look at another tree spirit.
The tree spirit immediately began to panic. It used the last of its strength to fling the two trapped Ironhide Bulls away before retreating in a panicked manner. However, it shouldn't have retracted its foot. It was completely exhausted and riddled with wounds, and it was unable to maintain its balance. The Ironhide Bulls immediately rammed into it, and the other Ironhide Bulls that had regained their freedom all swarmed toward the tree spirit, treating it like a toy. They stomped on it and rammed into it, and in the end, the tree spirit was forced to roll down the slope.
Morrisons leaped into the air again and chased after the tree spirit. Under a burst of dazzling starlight, the tree spirit was sliced in half. The cloud of Battle Energy fell onto the grassy ground before instantly disappearing. However, only those with the best eyesight would be able to see that all of the grass and roots within the area enshrouded by the Battle Energy had been riddled with holes.
