"So...you choose to merge with this twisted tree!?"
Enzo took a breath of air. After hearing the words of the Twisted Dryad, thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and he suddenly made a bold inference about the scene ahead and everything that happened in the Twisted Jungle.
Gram is an old guardian wizard.
His life was coming to an end, but he was unable to be promoted to a second-level wizard. In order to seek an opportunity, he followed the expedition to the [World of Akiela], and by chance, he discovered a giant, distorted tree.
Feeling the huge vitality of the giant twisted tree, a bold idea grew crazily in Gram's heart.
He used the knowledge in his mind to merge himself with the twisted tree and swallowed everyone in the pioneering team to form a unique life form.
Twisted Dryad!
The twisted tree, which originally had no thinking, obtained the brains of Gram wizard and thirty rune knights at the same time, and gained wisdom in this way.
"When I was a human wizard, I tried various methods to advance to the second level of life form."
"But every attempt ended in failure. Originally, I had given up and decided to face death calmly. But when Dean Froslai ordered the expedition, I planned to fight for the last time!"
"The new world may represent danger and unknowns, but it also represents opportunities!"
"Maybe it was destiny that allowed me to find this giant twisted tree. Using the wizard's wisdom, I merged everyone's brains with the twisted tree, and finally succeeded in being promoted to a second-level life form!"
The twisted dryad Gram's voice was slow, with a hint of vicissitudes in his calm tone.
"Now...should I call you the wizard Gram, or the twisted tree demon Gram?" Enzo suppressed the throbbing in his heart and frowned. "You have been promoted to a second-level life form in this way. Have you already?"
Have you given up on the future?”
Fusing himself with the giant twisted tree may have given Gram a long life.
But abandoning the human body also cut off his journey as a wizard. As a twisted tree demon, it has become almost impossible for him to evolve towards a higher level of life in the future.
"Compared with the future, I pay more attention to the present!"
The Twisted Dryad slowly spoke and said, "If I don't seize this opportunity, maybe in another ten years, I will completely perish, and even my soul will return to the origin of the wizarding world, and I will become part of the rules of the world from now on."
"And now, even though I have changed my form, I am still me!"
"What's more, even becoming a twisted tree demon does not mean losing the future. When I fused my brain with the giant twisted tree and became a special life form, my roots took root in this land and gained a lot that you don't know.
information."
"[Ai Qila World] is far from as simple as you think..."
A strange expression appeared on Gram's face as he twisted the surface of the dryad's trunk. After acquiring a new life form, he became a native creature of [Elkila World] in a special way, and thus learned more about this world.
secret.
Enzo's eyes flashed, and his thoughts changed.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore!" Then, the twisted tree demon's huge body shook and slowly said, "Come here, Enzo! Become one with me, and you will become a second-level life form."
Wow!
The green vines were coming towards this side, and Enzo and the Rune Knights were all frightened. After a brief exchange, the situation finally turned into a battle.
"Dark extinguishing fireball!" On the same spot, Enzo paused with the wand in his hand.
Black flames bloomed in mid-air, forming a dark fireball. After Enzo was promoted to a first-level wizard, the energy he mastered has been substantially improved. The energy intensity of the uncharged fireball has exceeded 20
Spend.
boom!
The dark fireball roared away, twisting the hanging vines around the tree demon and immediately weaving it into a tree net, blocking the witchcraft attack. At the same time, more vines sprang out like poisonous snakes.
A rune knight was caught off guard and his legs were tangled in vines.
"Ah! Help..." In the exclamation, the rune knight was dragged under the tree by the vines, and then several thick vines curled and retracted.
"Jack!!" Knight Carter drew out his cross sword and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Enzo.
The soft and sharp rattan wrapped around Jack's whole body, and then the barbs on it pierced his body, sucking blood while tearing his skull and peeling off the brain inside.
The scene in front of me is horrifying!
After the Twisted Dryad sucked all the blood from Jack's body, he threw his shriveled body directly to a bionic crocodile monster, and the white brain taken out of Jack's skull was wrapped in tree vines and sent to the top of the Twisted Dryad's head.
Immediately afterwards, a small, silky tentacle pierced Jack's brain and hung in the canopy of the tree like a lantern.
"Hello, Boss Carter!" The surface of the Twisted Dryad's trunk changed. Jack's face replaced Gram, and he greeted Knight Carter with a smile.
"How... is this possible!?" Knight Carter's face turned pale, and a chill rose up his spine.
After the Twisted Dryad swallowed Jack, it merged everything about him with itself. Not only did it possess Jack's brain, it even acquired all of the other person's memories.
Enzo narrowed his eyes and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
He finally understood Gram's intention. The twisted tree demon had previously merged the brains of a wizard and thirty rune knights, and now it had become a special life form.
The Twisted Dryad can gain more wisdom and memory by robbing the brain.
It is precisely with this ability that the Twisted Dryad craves brains to evolve towards a higher level of life. Gram was a human wizard before. When he knew that a pioneering team disappeared, the tower would arrange a new pioneering team.
So, he decided to wait quietly in the Twisted Jungle and capture more brains.
Ahead, slender tree vines came quickly. The Rune Knights had learned from their previous experience and did not dare to be careless. They wielded their cross swords and cut off the vines one by one. However, for the Twisted Dryad, it did not seem painful.
itch.
"Come here! Integrate with me, and you will become a more advanced life form!"
A strange smile appeared on the face of the twisted dryad, and the bionic crocodile monsters around him stood on two legs in humanoid form, vomiting green mucus from the stomach pouch, and picked up a cross sword with its claw-like forelimbs.
At the same time, behind the twisted tree demon, a bionic crocodile monster wearing a black robe slowly appeared.
In its claws, it actually held a metal wand.
"You actually fed your own body to the bionic crocodile monster!?" A hint of surprise appeared on Enzo's face.
The bionic crocodile monster is a life form bred by the twisted tree demon. It has the ability to devour other life cells and plunder genetic attributes. Those bionic crocodile monsters that hold the cross sword with their forelimb claws are all because they have eaten the corpse of the Rune Knight.
And the bionic crocodile monster in black robes in front of him, since it was holding a metal wand, had obviously eaten Gram's body.
"Bionic Crocodile? Sounds like a good name!"
The twisted tree demon had a weird expression and said slowly: "The body is just a shell that carries the soul. Now that I have transformed into another life form, the body has lost its meaning. I named this bionic crocodile monster."
'Gram', it has almost all the abilities of my human wizard identity."
While speaking, Gram, the bionic crocodile monster, had already raised his metal wand.
In mid-air, a group of silver liquid slowly condensed, as if it were some kind of liquid metal. It transformed into a tip cone in a flowing form, and then pierced the air and shot forward.
Enzo's eyes were calm and his thoughts were moving.
On the ground, shadows turned into shields and emerged!
Phew! Phew! Phew!
However, the shadow shield failed to block the metal cone. With the harsh sound of breaking through the air, it penetrated the shadow shield and stabbed towards Enzo without losing speed.
"Shadow Whip!"
Enzo took three steps back, and the reflection in front of him swung like a whip, knocking away several metal cones, but at the next moment, those metal cones floated up again, and pierced them like whistle arrows.
"Shadow Sneak!"
Seeing several metal cones coming at him again, the Shadow Whip swung violently, blocking one of the cones and Enzo turned into a ball of shadow and disappeared.
"Is it mainly about shadow witchcraft?"
The Twisted Dryad spoke slowly and praised, "What a great talent. If I can get your brain, maybe I can also evolve abilities related to shadows."
The next moment, Enzo's figure appeared in vain.
Less than one meter away from Gram, the bionic crocodile monster, Enzo's magic wand of soul flashed with dark light, and the dark fireball continued to condense, and then blasted out.
Bang!
In the hand of the bionic crocodile monster Gram, the metal wand twisted for a while, like flowing liquid metal, and turned into a huge metal shield, blocking the attack of the dark fireball.
"Steel armor..."
Immediately afterwards, the bionic crocodile monster's throat trembled, and the huge shield in front of it turned into liquid metal again, rushing towards it, wrapping the bionic crocodile monster's body into steel armor.
Buzz!
Two sharp steel spines extend from the claws of the bionic crocodile monster.
Using its thick lower limbs, the bionic crocodile monster lunged forward with a low roar. Its sharp steel thorns were extremely sharp and seemed to be able to easily pierce through any obstacle, even the rock King Kong.
call out!
Amidst the sound of breaking through the air, the bionic crocodile monster had already rushed forward, and the steel thorns rushed forward, piercing Enzo's body at a terrifying speed, but then his body turned into a shadow and dispersed like black mist.
Shadow body!
The core ability of Ghost Shadow is almost immune to any physical damage. Although Enzo has mastered the twelve shadow witchcraft, he has never used it in actual combat. Just now was the first time he tried it.
"Next, let's fight quickly!"
On the spot, Enzo's figure emerged, his eyes gradually becoming colder. In the previous round of battle, he did not use all his strength. He only gradually became familiar with his natural witchcraft during the confrontation with the bionic crocodile monster.
"Are you serious? It's so fun!"
On the opposite side, the twisted tree demon smiled strangely and said slowly: "I also want to see what your real strength is. Someone who can win the coordinates for the academy in a bloody battle will definitely not disappoint me, right?"
brush!
The next moment, Enzo disappeared from where he was.
After the shadow stealth was activated, he quickly appeared behind the bionic crocodile monster Gram like a shadow. The opponent's reaction speed was also not slow, and sharp steel cones rose up and stabbed out in an instant.
Ding dong!
On the ground, the shadow turned into a long whip, throwing away several steel cones, and then sharpened in vain, shooting forward like a shadow thorn, instantly penetrating the huge metal shield that had just been formed.
Shadow thrust!
With the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh and blood, a ball of blood bloomed from the bionic crocodile monster's chest, its throat trembled violently, and it made a sound like the roar of a wild beast.
"Shadow Cage!" Enzo slammed the wand in his hand.
A dark vortex like a shadow emerged on the ground, and then turned into a shadow cage, trapping the bionic crocodile monster inside, and black barbs extended from the inside, pressing against the bionic crocodile monster's body.
The battle ended in a moment. Even though Wizard Gram's ability was robbed, the bionic crocodile monster was still defeated by Enzo.
"Sure enough, it ended like this. There were no surprises." Regarding the scene in front of him, the twisted tree demon's weird face was full of calm, as if everything was expected.
The bionic crocodile monster ate Gram's body, thus gaining the ability of the wizard's spells.
However, since there is no magic crystal condensed in the body, every time it uses a spell, it consumes the thin magic power in the blood. Therefore, not only is the power not as powerful as a real wizard, but the duration of the combat state is also far less than that of a real wizard.
Therefore, the combat power of the bionic crocodile monster Gram is at most equivalent to a third-level apprentice elite.
As long as Enzo is more serious, he can easily solve it, and the Twisted Dryad has already anticipated this, so after the bionic crocodile monster was trapped in the shadow cage, it waved the cane and slammed into the shadow.
Cage.
Snapped!
Under the huge force, the shadow cage shattered, and the vines entangled the bionic crocodile monster one by one, and wrapped it all up. After dragging it back to the tree, a hole opened in the main trunk, and the bionic crocodile monster was swallowed up.
"Take a good rest, my child." The Twisted Dryad said softly.
This seems to be another ability of the twisted tree demon. After the bionic crocodile monster it breeds is injured, it can recover by returning to its mother's body to hibernate. As long as it does not completely die, it can recover as before.
"Next, it's our turn..."
A strange smile appeared on the face of the twisted tree demon again. The next moment, the ground seemed to tremble slightly, and every plant in the entire twisted jungle began to move towards the central area.
In an instant, the sky was completely plunged into darkness, and the twisted jungle seemed to have become a giant beast that chose people to eat.
"Now we're in some trouble!" Enzo's eyes narrowed and his face became a little ugly. It turned out that the Twisted Dryad also had the ability to control other plants in the jungle. It blocked all roads around it and trapped the pioneering team here.
"In this case, there is only one way out!"
There was a fierce look in Enzo's eyes, and the magic power around his body surged. The Rune Knights next to him also clenched the cross swords in their hands, preparing to fight to the death.
