Chapter 300: Ghost Tree Sea
The treasure guardian fell to the ground with a loud bang, broken metal parts scattered around the altar, and the battlefield returned to peace.
Tokieda Meng felt refreshed all over. She held up the Guardian Core and spun around happily.
"Thanks for keeping an eye on the core for me, Manno! It looks so ingenious, I'm going to put it in my Time-Bomb Stealth Machine!"
The fire axe formed by magic power dissipated like smoke. Wan Yexi clenched it with one hand, and the flames in the nearby woods were immediately extinguished, and the Eternal Night Forest returned to darkness.
"Is it compatible with your time-bomb stealth machine?" Wan Yexi smiled helplessly.
No matter what good stuff Shizhi Meng encounters, the first thing he thinks of is to install it on the time-dam stealth machine.
As expected, Shi Zhimeng acted as if she hadn't considered anything: "Never mind, we'll know when we go back and pretend!"
At some point, all the broken parts scattered on the altar melted away, and a mysterious portal slowly appeared in the center.
Twisted black branches intertwined to form the frame of the portal, with blue phosphorescence flickering between the branches. In the jumping flames, there seemed to be painful souls wailing.
Black mist continuously poured out from the interior of the portal, and the resonance of the key became stronger.
Ahead is their destination, where the treasure is located, the ghost forest.
"Let's go." Wan Yexi looked at everyone.
……
……
As you step into the ghost forest, you will feel a bone-chilling chill.
Huge ghost trees rise from the ground, each one is extremely tall.
Their trunks are translucent, and you can vaguely see the faint light flowing inside the trunks.
"It's so beautiful." Ying couldn't help but exclaim again.
They had only glimpsed this scene during the memory synchronization process, but it was obvious that the scene they saw with their own eyes was even more shocking.
"It's a bit cold." Ivy felt that every tree was emitting cold air towards her.
A small fireball suddenly floated beside her.
Wan Ye Xi cast a spell and continued to walk ahead to explore the way.
On the contrary, Chu Yu, after hearing what Ivy said, said hesitantly and conflictedly: "...Should I wear it?"
She took off her coat and held it in her hands, looking like she wanted to give it to Ivy but was afraid of being rejected.
How could Ivy dare to refuse? She didn't hesitate for a second and ran to Chu Yu in a few steps, pretending to be enthusiastic and said, "You must wear it!"
Others looked over upon hearing the noise.
Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief quietly and happily, but remained calm on the surface: "Then I'll give it to you."
Ivy wrapped his coat tightly around himself and could indeed feel Chu Yu's body temperature.
“Thank you, Sister Chuyu.” Ivy said carefully.
She always felt that she had treated Chu Yu as a time bomb.
Ye Jiyan's chuckle came from behind.
He seemed to be the only one present who knew why Ivy was so abnormal.
"Avi, are you still cold? I'll give you my coat too!" Ying wanted to take off both layers of her clothes.
"No need." Ivy quickly helped her put it on.
……
……
The spatial layout of the forest is complex, like a huge maze. The branches of the ghost trees dance quietly, like living creatures that may attack at any time.
Behind the road they walked on, the ghost trees changed their positions, and the original road was blocked and disappeared. This forest wanted to make them lose their way.
"Be careful, these trees are alive." Wan Yexi reminded everyone.
Upon hearing this, Elko, who was walking at the end of the team, immediately spoke up: "Don't panic, I'm here, and I won't let any plants get close to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost branch that was originally swinging slowly suddenly accelerated and lashed down frantically.
They subconsciously erected a defensive barrier, but the branches strangely froze in the middle.
Looking closely, it was not completely still. The branches were shaking slightly in the air, as if resisting some force.
"See, I told you." Elq raised her head and stared at the branches, "I won't let any plants get close to you."
The ends of her hair transformed into plants again, which seemed to mean that she was driving a large amount of magic power.
The attacks of the ghost trees did not end there. On the contrary, they seemed to have received some signal and became more agitated.
Some branches fell vertically, while others swung their branches to sweep from the side. The ghostly vines wrapped around the tree trunks were flying around in the air.
But without exception, when they approached the team, they all froze in the air strangely.
"Very good, very good, I got the feeling." Elko took a few deep breaths and muttered to himself.
Along with a wave of magical power, the attacking plant vines began to wither from the end, and the withering force quickly spread upwards until it hit the ghost tree trunk itself!
Instantly, the ghost tree let out an ethereal roar, which seemed to be a shock that could penetrate the soul. The next moment, the power of withering spread to the entire trunk, and the inner light condensed first, and the originally translucent trunk turned into a withered dark brown.
Attacks and counterattacks were carried out simultaneously, and more and more trees became withered, like mummies standing in a sea of ghosts, particularly eye-catching.
"You're so awesome, teacher! Can you hold on for the rest of the journey?" Shi Zhi Meng cheered excitedly.
"It's a piece of cake!" Eluko dared not say that she couldn't do it.
More than half of her hair had transformed into plants, which seemed to mean that she had only used half of her strength.
Ivy didn't really understand it. After all, she didn't know any other wood magicians and had only encountered opponents of average level during competitions.
But Elke's major is probably also unpopular, which may be the result of the world correction.
……
With Elq's help, they sped up their pace.
The resonance of the key became stronger and stronger. It was originally just floating and glowing, but now it has turned into an intense vibrating resonance.
The ghost tree's attack became even more crazy, and even a large number of tree roots emerged from the ground, trying their best to stop the treasure hunters.
Ivy almost tripped, but the tree roots under her feet were instantly cut off by the black shadow.
"Oops!" Elke couldn't help but panic, "I didn't consider the area underground. Be careful!"
“It doesn’t matter.” Chu Yu said immediately afterwards, “Leave the underground to me.”
In the dim light, the ground was covered with mottled shadows of trees, and every tree root that emerged from the ground could not escape the perception of the first rain.
The black shadow stretched out along with the tree roots, and instantly cut and swallowed the roots.
The vines and branches above continued to wither and die, and the roots below became food on the black shadow's plate.
The key's resonance became stronger.
The ghost tree sea rustled as they moved back and forth, blocking the road ahead completely.
Wan Yexi rushed to the front, her hands condensed into a flaming battle axe, and then chopped it down fiercely -
The vibration of the soul resounded in the forest of eternal night. The flames jumped up to the translucent treetops, dyeing the dark blue leaves into dots of dark red.
The wind was howling, withered trees turned into ashes and fell down in rows. The thick inky darkness seemed to be torn open, revealing the ultimate secret.
A strange light appeared in the area before my eyes.
