Chapter 123 (1/2)

Chapter 123: Corruption

“Let’s start once we’re all ready. Everyone focus.” ThornyRose said as she drew her sword and entered a battle stance. She looked over and waited for Zhang ZhengXiong to start the battle.

Zhang ZhengXiong gripped his war hammer tightly, then directly charged in. Everyone split up according to their designate targets.

“Who is it! You dare disturb my sleep! You humans will pay for your offence!!” The corrupted locust tree elder Kunqi opened its eyes and roared at Zhang ZhengXiong who was charging towards it. It swung an immense branch arm downwards. Zhang ZhengXiong, who was only as big as its ‘palm’, dodge past the attack, and readied the flame flask that was given to him. He threw it towards its ‘face’ which caused it to immediately roar. “I’m going to turn you into fertilizer, and then eat you!!”

“Bro! How about we kill this bastard and fry a vegetable dish out of him!?” Zhang ZhengXiong heard its angry words and sneered as he roared back.

“Ok! I’ll fry him up with some rat! I can try out the new technique old Wang taught me! Stirfry!” Ye Cang said as his longbow continued to shoot towards the treants who was set ablaze by Lin Le. Lin Le took the initiative and used bloodmoon chop to help kill the two by FrozenCloud. SpyingBlade couldn’t help sighing at the sight. These treants were just living targets for heavy weapons users. He was dealing as much damage as the three assassins put together. It was like that enormous anti-cavalry sword was made just to cut wood. This didn’t even include that bugged item – flame flask.

SpyingBlade appeared by ThornyRose. His blade brought about a destructive slash which hit the treant’s core. He pulled his blade out and took several strange steps. Roots and brambles popped up out of the ground, but it seemed as if they were avoiding him.

Ye Cang raised his eyebrows. Such good footwork, it made him as elusive as a ghost. Although, he didn’t appear to move much, he didn’t get hurt at all.

Ghost steps… NalanMoon and FrozenBlood both knew the technique SpyingBlade had used. It was a special technique that neither of them were capable of. However, they had their own unique styles and techniques, so although they were astonished, it wasn’t too bad.

“Lil’Dino, go help Shaking Bear! This side is almost done!!” ThornyRose brandished her longsword, and with the help of FrozenBlood’s all out attack, they kill one of the treants. Although the treants were stronger than the ones on the road, but they didn’t even last an instant. By the time GreenDew’s magic missiles finished casting, things were already mostly taken care of.

GreenDew’s magic missiles flew over, killing the last treant.

FrozenCloud used her movement skill and charged to join Zhang ZhengXiong. ThornyRose also activated a charge. Everyone was now encircling the boss. Little Ye Tian was paying attention to the entire battlefield. She would warn the others the moment there were any signs of entangling roots. She also cast her holy shield and healing skill whenever it was off cooldown, to help reduce the pressure on Zhang ZhengXiong.

Ye Cang drew his bow to full draw and aimed a Precise Shot! It shot right into the burnt part of its ‘mouth’.

“Lele, try to keep him burning!!” ThornyRose’s sword struck on it’s trunk, dealing almost no damage. She wasn’t able to break through it’s defence. It’s mouth and eyes were also too high up to hit. She noticed a branch coming towards her, and dodge it letting it smash into the ground. She leapt and ran up the branch as if it were a bridge. Her double strike struck right on it’s burn. SpyingBlade and FrozenCloud ran up it’s roots, dodged past the attacking branches, then they leapt and also made it up the trunk.

Compared to the others, Lin Le simply activated leap and jumped straight up. He swung his bag, and three flame flasks flew out, igniting the tree. Ye Cang saw a large part of the tree had been set ablaze, dealing impressive damage. The boss also became weakened and stunned. Lin Le landed on the tree’s shoulder and performed an Execute! Failed! He pouted, this monster didn’t even have a neck to target… He took out a gold coin and crushed it. He then pulled his sword out and launched a whirlwind strike! Terrifying damage numbers popped up.
