The panicked barbarians evacuated in the direction of Ed and others, shouting for help as they ran.
Behind them, there are dense spikes extending from the ground and spreading vines chasing after them!
how so?
Ed was a little confused for a moment.
Has the sacred tree become so powerful?
The entire barbarian team was wiped out in just a few minutes?
"Gan!"
"Don't let them come! Block them!"
Ed realized something was wrong.
The group of fleeing barbarians will most likely attract the hatred of the sacred tree!
The faces of the players following Ed turned dark.
To put it lightly, you want to stop the barbarians?
Just kidding?
"Fierce Dragon Breath!"
Facing the barbarians rushing towards the back of the team, Ed took out a scroll of the highest level flame spell from his backpack, held it tightly and threw it forward.
"Roar!!!"
The roar of the dragon sounded!
A substantial stream of flames blasted towards the barbarians running forward.
In an instant, the barbarians and the extending vines were submerged into the blazing sea of fire!
The flames quickly spread around!
"Crack, crackle, crackle..."
From the fire in front of me came the sound of burning vines and the painful howls of the barbarians.
Players gathered around and threw spells into the sea of fire.
After a round of spells was thrown, everyone fell into silence for a moment as they looked at the sea of fire that continued to burn.
Ed also stood there. After using a super-high-level magic scroll that far surpassed his abilities, he also entered a backlash state and was temporarily unable to move or attack.
He stared at the flames in front of him, slowly spreading towards him step by step.
"laugh!!!!"
Ed's pupils suddenly shrank.
Almost instantly, dozens of twisted vine spikes pierced out from the sea of fire!
The sharp thorn pierced his face in an instant, only five centimeters away from his forehead.
"Creak, creak, creak..."
The vine spikes made a faint sound.
Stopped?
Ed stared at the spikes.
He felt his own heavy heartbeat.
Cold sweat trickled down his cheeks.
He thought of something, took out the rune stone and slowly stretched it forward.
"Chi chi chi..."
After a stalemate for several seconds, it seemed that something had been confirmed, and the spikes quickly retreated behind the sea of fire.
call……
Ed let out a loud breath and reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his cheeks, feeling as if he was exhausted after a disaster.
"Go! Retreat."
"Quick, let's go."
Even the barbarians were wiped out!
Didn't even last more than ten minutes!
That was a demonized barbarian team of more than a hundred people!
The player team was so frightened that they no longer had the intention to continue fighting, and followed Ed to retreat along the same route.
Now they are just thankful that the zombies guarding the Ghost Tower are slow-moving zombies and cannot catch up with them.
Ed's pupils flashed with fear.
Failed!
Those damn barbarians!
As long as they can be brought into the Plague Land, everything will be left to them...
That's it?
Ed held the rune crystal he obtained from Ma Xiaowan Tianli's mercenary group tightly in his hand and ran forward wildly.
"Chi chi chi..."
The vines ahead gave way to a passage that went straight forward.
It's too late for Ed to regret it now.
He only felt happy in his heart.
He was extremely glad that he spent 500,000 imperial bunnies to buy these three rune stones.
otherwise……
Even the demonized barbarian team of more than a hundred people was completely wiped out in this forest.
What kind of life can their players still have?
In the distance, above the Ghost Tower.
Looking at the hell-like scene below, Ma Xiaowan took a deep breath.
A terrible disaster.
She saw with her own eyes how the barbarians were wiped out.
After being dragged into the vine underground, the barbarians completely disappeared and became the nourishment of the giant tree.
Seeing a group of barbarians running away in panic, Ma Xiaowan frowned and asked: "Lord Fang Heng, aren't we going to chase them? Just let them go like this?"
"Um."
Fang Heng nodded, "It's okay, let them go."
At first, Fang Heng also thought about eradicating the root cause.
However, after careful consideration, I found that we are currently in a trial mission, and blindly killing players may cause changes in the trial.
If you wait and suddenly the trial game time is deducted, the gain will outweigh the loss.
Just to be on the safe side, let's spare their lives.
Besides, keeping them has other uses.
Fang Heng gently rubbed his shoulders and waved his hand in the distance.
The alienated crystals that exploded after killing the demonized barbarians were integrated into the marks on the back of the hand.
Fang Heng nodded and said to Ma Xiaowan: "Let's go, come with me and take a look."
…
Outside the Plaguelands.
After learning that the Plague Land was on fire, Lord Blount led the other two lord guard groups to take the lead in quickly supporting the sacred tree.
They were the first batch, and more lord guards were arriving from behind.
Along the way, the lords were extremely anxious and kept urging the team to move faster.
Arriving at the outskirts of the Plague Land area, Lord Blount and his party stopped.
About ten minutes ago, the fire gradually stopped halfway.
Unlike during the day, the giant tree in the center of the vine forest bloomed with a faint cyan light in the dark.
The way ahead of everyone was blocked by layers of vines and tree roots.
The fire seems to have stopped?
So they're late?
What should I do? Should I go in? How should I go in?
The mercenary group was a little confused and at a loss.
Suddenly, the vines and tree roots ahead began to shrink.
In front of everyone's eyes, a passage gradually spread out leading to the interior of the Plague Land.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of rapid running and breathing came from inside the trail.
Ed's team trotted all the way and gradually appeared in front of Lord Blount and his team.
Having just experienced a heart-stopping scene, Ed's team, who were running frantically for their lives, watched as they fled from the exit, finally leaving the area covered by the giant tree and vines, and then saw Lord Blount and his group outside the door.
Both sides face each other.
The scene was somewhat silent for a while.
broken!
Ed's mind went blank for a moment.
Caught red-handed!
The two lords who came with Lord Blount felt strange.
How come Ed and the others are here?
And he looked in a hurry, as if he had just experienced a big battle and was still in a panic?
Lord Blount was equally puzzled and asked: "Ed? Why are you here?"
Ed was startled, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.
Um?
Don't the lords know about his attack on the Ghost Tower?
correct!
The lords didn't know anything, they just came here to investigate after seeing the light of fire.
Just a chance encounter!
Ed composed himself, calmed down immediately, and replied: "Your Lordship, we saw the Plague Land on fire and wanted to come to support. Perhaps we didn't expect that the vines in the forest were stimulated by the fire and became unstable. We were attacked by a giant tree halfway.
