Chapter 271: A Suicidal Arcane Team?
“Stingham, remember that our goal is to be the first ones to enter the assigned area! There are definitely a lot of good things there!”
“Stingham, make sure you do not go and purposefully mess with those trees!”
“Understood, haha!”
Ayrin, Rinloran, and Stingham were now approaching several of the towering Devil Snake Trees.
They watched as the Devil Snake Trees madly twisted and crawled and their fruits crashed into the ground in succession, causing large booms to reverberate across the plain as they split open to reveal their bloody maws. It looked like a layer of hell.
“Stingham! You!”
Although they had agreed to stay as far away from the trees as possible to try and avoid them altogether, upon seeing the Devil Snake Trees right before him, Stingham excitedly charged forward towards one, leaving Ayrin and Rinloran speechless.
“We will need to travel at least another half a day to reach the mission area. So let me see if I can return to my most handsome self first! Haha!”
“Come at me! Come and bite this handsome brother! Hurry up! You pieces of trash!”
Stingham’s strange cries wildly rang out across the plain as he excitedly charged towards the Devil Snake Trees.
At this moment, a nearby Corps team happened to see Stingham’s crazy actions and were abruptly stunned.
“Isn’t this brother a little too brave?”
“He must have been rejected. Why else would he be so intent on self-destruction?!”
“Hey brother, it’s okay if you don’t have a girlfriend. This brother will introduce you to another girl!”
“Really?”
Upon hearing the last couple of words, Stingham, who had just charged into the midst of the Devil Snake Trees, immediately paused and turned to look at the nearby arcane masters.
“Shit!”
The arcane masters simultaneously closed their eyes.
Whoosh!
Several giant ‘snake head’ fruit shot through the sky and opened their maws at they collided with the dazed Stingham.
“Bite that idiot to death!” Rinloran gnashed his teeth.
“So weak! So useless!”
Stingham’s disappointed cry rang across the plain.
“So fierce?”
The arcane masters’ eyes became unfocused.
As the ‘snake head’ fruits flew around and viciously bit Stingham, a layer of dim yellow light appeared around him. No matter where he was bit, he remained perfectly fine.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! …
Even more ‘snake head’ fruits shot over.
“This idiot. Let’s just leave him here to play with these trees!”
By this point, Rinloran didn’t want to care about Stingham any longer. He could see several Evil Dragon Followers and orcs perched atop several of the approaching Devil Snake Trees.
To fight against these Devil Snake Trees was simply a waste of time and arcane particles.
“Ayrin, Rinloran, hurry and save me!”
Stingham’s panicked cries rang out, “Ah! I’m so dizzy! These things can’t harm me but being tossed around by them is making me nauseous!”
“Hold on! I’m coming!” Ayrin shouted as he charged forth.
“Activate: Fist of the War God!”
There was a loud boom as Ayrin thunderously punched one of the ‘snake head’ fruits which had come rushing towards him.
“So hard!”
“No wonder the Plague Bishop was willing to pay such a price to stimulate them. These Devil Snake Trees are even harder to deal with than three gate arcane masters!”
Ayrin’s body trembled. He felt as if he had collided with an iron wrecking ball.
A faint crack sounded from the stem of the fruit as a portion of the skin broke off.
“Phantom Dance!”
Rinloran’s figure abruptly passed by Ayrin.
As he sharply invoked his skill, countless copies of himself emerged within the space before him.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! …
Countless ‘snake head’ fruits abruptly began to attack his copies, including several of the fruits which had surrounded Stingham.
“An opportunity!”
“Evil Flaming Eye!”
Ayrin took aim at Stingham and shot out an Evil Flaming Eye.
“Argh!”
Stingham let out a miserable cry as his blackened body flew backwards.
“This Blaze Bracelet is indeed powerful!”
Ayrin thought to himself as he dumbfoundedly looked at the fiery red bracelet atop his right wrist.
He had only just opened two arcane gates, but the power demonstrated by his Evil Flaming Eye had already reached a three gate level.
“Careful!” Rinloran abruptly cried out as a huge shadow suddenly appeared behind Ayrin and merged with the shadow of the Devil Snake Tree before Ayrin.
Boom!
A resounding crack rang out at this moment as another Devil Snake tree swept over and viciously slammed into the other tree.
