Li Mi followed Deng Chong. When he saw the small group of roots squirming, he felt terrified.
He still had a torch in his hand, so he took two quick steps and burned the bunch of roots with the torch, and the roots immediately retracted.
Deng Chong touched it with his index finger again, but there was no response.
Deng Chong touched the other roots around him one by one, but none of them responded.
Kang Maochuan was following Li Mi, also holding a torch in his hand.
Under the light of the fire, the disciples behind could see clearly.
At first, everyone was sweating when they saw that the roots could move. Now they were relieved to see that the roots were not afraid of fire.
"It's okay to be afraid of fire. We just don't lack fire."
"Let's go there quickly. I don't know how long this tunnel is. If we keep waiting, we might be teleported back in a while."
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze. The road ahead is so narrow, why are you squeezing?"
The road between the tree roots is just a narrow road no wider than one person.
Everyone had to queue up to pass.
At the beginning, everyone was still very cautious.
From time to time, I would hold a torch and touch the roots of the trees around me.
But they soon discovered that the tree roots had no response, so they stopped worrying.
When everyone walked into the tree root tunnel, the tree roots that were originally motionless began to squirm.
The people who were passing by were so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat. Everyone quickened their pace and wanted to pass through this tree root passage as soon as possible.
But at this moment, the front of the tree root passage suddenly closed.
To be precise, the tree roots on both sides of the road ahead are moving toward the middle.
Finally connected together, no gaps can be seen.
It's as if the place is covered with tree roots and there is no road in the first place.
Everyone was so panicked that they wanted to leave.
But when they turned around, they saw that the road behind them was also blocked by tree roots.
This time everyone was even more panicked, pushing each other in the narrow passage, and some torches fell to the ground.
Deng Chong held a long knife in his hand and slashed at the roots of the tree. He was actually asked to cut down some roots.
"Don't panic, everyone, I'll fight out together!"
At this time, a disciple suddenly screamed: "Ah! These tree roots bite people, they just bit my hand!"
"It's the little hairy root on the tree root. I accidentally got close to it just now, and those hairs dug into my hand and sucked a little blood.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and pulled my hand back in time."
"I was bitten by a tree root just now. Everyone, please be careful and don't get close to these roots."
"They don't have eyes, so as long as you don't get close to them, they'll be fine."
"What you said is quite easy.
But the road here is so narrow, how can we ensure that we don’t hit the roots of trees?”
“What to push?
Don't squeeze me, if anyone pushes me again, I'll hit them!"
"Look, Senior Brother Deng is already cutting down the roots of the tree."
"Then what are we waiting for?
Cut it down together!”
"It's really useful. Look at the ground, there are quite a lot of tree roots cut down by Senior Brother Deng."
For a moment, everyone took out long knives from their backpacks and chopped down the tree roots.
As long as the roots of these trees are cut off, a road will be cleared.
"Ah! Help!"
An unlucky disciple was working hard to chop down tree roots when suddenly a long root rolled up his ankle and hung him up.
He was so anxious that he shouted for help.
At this moment, seven or eight disciples were hung up by the roots of the tree.
The young man who initially shouted for help was the closest to Deng Chong among the disciples who were hung up.
Among the remaining disciples, some tried their best to cut down the trees with long knives, while others used torches to burn the trees.
Deng Chong was so anxious that he wanted to come over and help, but the place was too narrow and only one person could walk, so he couldn't get in.
This section of the passage is more than three meters high.
He deliberately jumped over the heads of these people, but after looking at it, he felt that there was not enough space. He was afraid of being trapped in the crowd, so he did not dare to move.
"Don't panic, everyone, let's all come together and cut off the roots of the tree first!"
"..."
"Ah! Help! Come and save me!"
At this moment, a disciple who was hung up suddenly screamed in terror.
Everyone looked back and saw that the skin on the disciple's ankles was wrinkled and the nearby muscles were atrophied.
Everyone was shocked. Oh no, these tree roots will drink blood. If they are not rescued, their lives will be in danger.
It turns out that the empty corpses next to the tree roots became like that after their flesh and blood were absorbed by the tree roots.
"Ah! Save me!"
"Help!"
Soon, other disciples who were hung up were asking for help.
The thin hairs on the tree roots pierced their ankles, and they also felt unbearable pain.
"The desolation of the wind!"
Without any time to think, Deng Chong used a wind-based technique.
The tree root trembled and withered even more than before, but it still hung on to the young man and refused to let go.
"The wind roars!"
"Thrust!"
There was only a "snap" sound, and the young man was finally given up by the tree root under Deng Chong's attack and fell to the ground.
Four of his teammates swarmed forward to protect him in the middle, and two teammates at the front and back protected him and retreated together.
These teenagers only reacted when they saw Deng Chong using magic to attack the tree roots.
But most of them are earth spells and are of no use.
Only a few attacks are effective.
"Weakened!"
"Firebending!"
"Iron spear piercing!"
At this time, Deng Chong shouted again: "Don't use fire spells. If these tree roots are set on fire, we will all have to bury them here!"
"Who knows how to attack with ice?
Both thunder and electricity types are fine!"
"Ice Art!"
"Ice Roar!"
"Level 4 attack talisman·Ice Arrow!"
"Fourth level attack talisman·five thunders blasting to the top!"
…
The spell attacks all over the sky were mixed with huge coercion, and some people used attack talismans. The surrounding tree roots were shaking, and they were trembling visibly to the naked eye.
But they can't hide, so they can only choose to resist.
Immediately afterwards, several thick tree roots broke abruptly.
Their fallen disciples were also forced to let go.
These disciples' teammates are waiting for this moment.
Deng Chong quickly raised his hand and used another magic talisman.
"Level 4 Attack Talisman·Ice Thorn".
Several sharp ice picks stabbed at nearby tree roots.
Under the effect of freezing, the tree roots finally shrank back and gave way to the road again.
But the road is still much narrower than before.
"Everyone, follow me and rush out together, don't fall behind!"
"Light Wave Slash!"
This light wave slash is Deng Chong's famous skill. The continuous light wave, with his vigorous slash, becomes invincible.
The tree roots that were obviously blocking the road were now blasted out into a big hole in the middle of the tree roots.
Countless pieces of wood were blown into pieces, and dust flew into the air.
"Everyone rush together!"
With Deng Chong taking the lead, the people behind him all rushed out together. Occasionally, a few people screamed, but no one had time to care.
