Everyone looked around and saw a young man in his twenties being entangled in thick vines, being picked up and hung to a tree.
"What's going on?" Yunado rushed over with Steve and Gandolf.
The person next to me said in panic: "I don't know, that vine can move on its own for some reason."
Yunado looked around and found that there were vines everywhere in the woods. Could it be...
Sure enough, the next moment all the vines started to move, like tentacles.
"No!" The three viscounts drew their weapons at the same time.
Chris jumped up from the ground and got into a fighting stance.
Arm-thick dark green vines whipped at the crowd, and they quickly picked up their weapons and slashed.
"Poof!" Chris used his dragon roar to repel a vine that was coming towards him, with a solemn look on his face.
Not even the sharp dragon roar can cut it off, and other people's weapons can't even damage those vines at all.
"What exactly happened? This has never happened before when we passed by here." Yunado and others were confused.
After last night's "arduous battle", those nobles were not at their peak condition. In a short time, more than twenty of them were tied up with vines and tied to the tree.
Chris and Manda were standing back to back. There were too many vines and they didn't know which direction they would attack.
As time went by, more and more nobles were restrained and unable to move. Some were tied like rice dumplings, with their heads not even exposed.
Cold sweat broke out on the faces of the three Viscounts Yunado. As fifth-level knights, it was difficult for them to cause substantial damage to those vines.
I didn’t expect that there would be so many risks along the way during this trip.
You're careless, you should read the almanac when you go out.
"Fighting skills, flowing shadow sword flash!" Gandolf fired more than a dozen sword energy on a human-shaped rice dumpling.
Several vines broke, and others twisted and spread apart, revealing Anthony's figure.
"Father!" Anthony felt like he was being pardoned. He took two deep breaths and ran towards the three viscounts quickly.
However, before Anthony could even take two steps, he tripped over a vine and was tied up again.
"Damn it!" Gandalf yelled angrily, his eyes were bloodshot. He was about to rush over with his sword, but Yunado and Steve jointly held him back, "What on earth are these vines?"
Countless people shouted desperately in their hearts: "Who will save us?"
"Don't come over here." A nobleman grabbed the burning firewood and waved it on the spot, forcing back several vines that were trying to come over.
Chris noticed this scene and grinned: "Oh, afraid of fire? That's easy to handle."
His expression relaxed, the dragon screamed into the ground, and the surrounding fire elements rushed in crazily.
"Flowing Flame Extinguishing Formation!"
The land with a radius of dozens of meters turned red, and the surrounding temperature suddenly increased by dozens of degrees.
On the ground, a red-gold magic circle with a diameter of thirty meters appeared.
"Bang bang bang!" Balls of flames exploded, igniting the branches and forming a sea of fire.
As long as there is a flame burning, fire elements can be continuously produced for Chris to use.
"Magic, extremely blazing hellfire!"
Dark red fire swirls burned out of thin air, emitting thick heat.
When you are in it, you feel like a dead fish being pressed on the grill.
The vines that tied the people seemed to have seen their natural enemies, so they let go of the nobles and quickly retreated.
"Saved!" Many nobles sat on the ground, breathing heavily.
They really thought they were going to die just now. This feeling of surviving the disaster almost made their hearts beat out.
"Fire Meteor!" Hundreds of fireballs flew out from in front of Chris, all hitting the surrounding vines, and some were even ignited directly.
Those dark green vines swung wildly, hitting the ground again and again, trying to extinguish the flames on the branches.
But Chris's attack soon came again. The dragon's roar drew a circle in front, and a ring of fire with a diameter of two meters appeared out of thin air. Dark blue arcs as thick as fingers traveled along the ring of fire, accompanied by rolling thunder.
"Thunder Fire Ring, go!" Chris pushed lightly with his palm, and the fire ring flew forward and landed on the dense vines.
"boom!"
There was a violent thunder explosion, and countless dark green wood fragments were scattered in all directions.
Chris's continuous magic attacks caused a lot of damage to them.
"Whoosh!" At this time, more than a dozen vines whipped over from all directions.
"Extreme Fire Armor!" The surrounding firelight was attracted by Chris, condensing into a set of armor composed entirely of flames.
Coupled with the non-armor breaking and double defense, Chris can ignore the opponent's attacks.
"Bah bang bang."
More than a dozen vines hit Chris one after another. The latter didn't even think about dodging. He just stood there and resisted. It felt like he was scratching an itch.
After the beating, the vines shrank back as if they were electrocuted.
A small area of forest around them was set on fire, making them look restless.
"Look where you're going!" Chris followed the escaping vines.
After chasing for seven or eight minutes, Chris saw a giant tree more than 20 meters high.
The tree was also completely dark green, with all the vines extending from its top. The trunk was more than ten meters in diameter. From a distance, it looked like a tree stump magnified countless times.
"Good guy, I didn't expect to see magic plants here." Chris had already figured out the identity of the other party, but due to his shallow knowledge, he couldn't recognize its variety.
After cutting down the tree, take a few branches back for Linda to identify, so that you can take more precautions in the future so that you won't be caught off guard like this.
If Chris hadn't happened to see the noble waving the torch, there would have been big trouble today.
Except for myself, Manda and the three viscounts who could survive, no one else could escape.
"Are you ready to return to the west?" The dragon roar swept across, and Chris began to accumulate magic, "Fire Dragon Dance!"
Countless fire elements were attracted, and red light illuminated the world.
The element burns, causing nearby leaves to turn yellow.
A long flame dragon of more than ten meters flew in circles around Chris.
At this time, Chris noticed that two dark green rattans were draped in front, seeming to imitate the human hand gesture.
"This guy actually has an IQ?"
One of the vines moved crazily, as if nodding.
"Can you even understand people's words?" Chris stopped the magic he was about to cast, "My tree is amazing."
"Why attack us?"
A dark green vine rolled around the burning branch and landed on another vine.
Other vines slapped the ground violently, looking angry.
Chris thought for a while before he understood what the other party meant.
The noble on his side accidentally burned its vines, making it angry.
"So, how do you want to deal with us?"
One vine rolled up a broken tree, and another vine whipped it hard several times before letting it go.
Chris understood the meaning, and the fire dragon around him naturally dissipated.
Even if he didn't take action, those nobles would be beaten at most.
Chris saw no other human or animal corpses in the woods, indicating that this big tree is not harmful to people.
And according to his father Yunado, this has never happened before.
The nobleman who lit the fire, like Chris, was participating in the pioneering order for the first time.
It seems that it was indeed my fault first.
Chris rubbed his chin and said: "Although it was our people who accidentally hurt you, you have caused us so much trouble after all. If you want me to spare you, you have to give me some compensation, right?"
A vine nodded, pulled twice from the side of the giant tree, took out an oblate black solid the size of a fist, and handed it over.
After Chris took it, he looked over it several times. It was very light in his hand, a bit like a bubble, and there was a very faint magic wave inside.
"Is this thing your seed?"
Vine nodded crazily.
Chris looked ecstatic. If he could cultivate such a powerful magic plant near the castle, his defense power would be greatly improved.
Even if there is another bandit group similar to Franton the Crazy Knife that comes to cause trouble, you don't have to do it yourself, you can take care of them just by relying on this magic plant.
"Okay, I'll accept your seed. Our account will be written off. After we rest for a while, we will leave naturally."
A cane poked Chris and pointed at a small flame burning on the ground.
"Don't worry, I will put out all the fires." Chris stretched out his hand, and all the surrounding flames flew towards him and merged into the dragon's roar.
"You can stay here with peace of mind. I'm going back. See you again when we have the chance." Chris waved to the giant tree and turned to leave.
The harvest from this trip was not small, as he got such a powerful magical plant seed.
After finding the large army, Yunado and others immediately surrounded them and asked with concern: "How is it?"
"The trouble has been solved."
"What the hell are those vines?"
"It's a magic plant. Our people accidentally injured it by lighting a fire, so it was retaliated against. But it didn't mean to harm us. It just wanted to hang it up and give it a good beating." Chris threw out the dragon roar.
, sucked away all the flames burning in this place, leaving not even a trace of fire behind.
"No wonder this kind of thing hasn't happened before." After saying that, Yunado glared at the noble who was lighting the fire.
"As soon as everyone has rested, let's hit the road immediately."
A group of fifty people continued to set off, encountering many small woods along the way.
Chris deliberately broke away from the main force and wandered around the jungle, looking for dark green vines, hoping to find that magical plant again and extort a few seeds.
It's a pity that he was disappointed. The woods were full of ordinary big trees. No matter how much I poked them with a torch, they wouldn't move.
Manda followed Chris into the woods eight times and asked doubtfully: "What are you looking for?"
"Nothing, just strolling around." Chris said nonchalantly.
No one knew that he had obtained a precious magical plant seed and wanted more.
