my age of magic

1332 Chapter 136. Hidden in the Black Forest
The sky of Hierro's plane is always a gray ink painting scroll, and there are always electric snakes mixed in the tumbling dark clouds, and they dance in the clouds.

The central area of ​​the green valley forest after the rain looked as if it had been waded by a huge plow, and the trees in the forest road fell in all directions, exposing the muddy ground below.

The great witch of the Gilda tribe sacrificed herself to the green valley forest through a sacrificial ceremony. She fused with a tree spirit that had grown for thousands of years, and then possessed the ability to control all the trees within a few kilometers. All the trees are grazed in this woodland, and a living tree wall is formed with trees and vines. The great witch of the Gilda tribe is the soul of this tree wall.

The tree wall is the last line of defense to protect the central area of ​​the green valley dense forest and the indigenous tribal fighters. Relying on the lord aura possessed by the ancient war tree, the tree wall can swallow some spider warriors or block some spider warriors, but the effect is still the same. very limited.

With the soul tree wall of the Great Witch of the Gilda Tribe, you can complete some tactical cooperation with the native fighters, which greatly improves the combat effectiveness of the native fighters, and can also release thorns and entanglement on the spider fighters more effectively and hierarchically , These are the powers that the Great Witch of Gilda wants to gain by sacrificing herself to the Lord of the Forest.

She succeeded, becoming a half-human, half-tree monster.However, even this still couldn't stop the spider warriors from attacking.

Although the Ancient War Tree is powerful, standing in front of it are tens of thousands of Nibru spider warriors and nearly fifty spider warlords.

The biggest weakness of the ancient war tree and the dryads is that they are affected by the ancient seal, they are bound to the ground and cannot move, and cannot form an effective battle formation. The dryads are scattered in the dense forest, almost all fighting for themselves. Fighting, the spider warriors are not afraid of these dryads who can only fight on their own.

The pace of the spider warriors' attack did not stop because of this. Even with the tree wall as a barrier, the indigenous warriors were still slaughtered by the spider warriors in the fierce battle. It was a gap in strength, and this gap was irreparable in a short time.

Until the [-] barbarian slaves rushed to the center of the Green Valley dense forest, they climbed onto the tree wall one after another, holding heavy crossbows and shooting at the spider warriors in the forest below the tree wall.

At this time, the "thorns" and "entanglement" possessed by the dryads suddenly became a nightmare for the spider people. Every step they took was bound by countless tree roots and vines in the forest, and the spider warriors had eight legs. , every time they take a step forward, almost all spider legs are entangled.

The short distance of a few hundred meters is like an insurmountable moat to these spider warriors. Countless spider warriors have been shot through their bodies by giant crossbow arrows in the dense forest. Those sharp and irresistible giant crossbow arrows seem to be Can shoot to the end of the line of sight.

The spider warlords can never move freely in the forest, especially in the green valley forest area, they need themselves or the giant spiders to open a passage to come to the battlefield.

This heavy rain made the wall of poisonous mist formed by the spore poison disappear, which is beneficial to the spiders, but it is also very difficult for the spider army to fight in the rain, and the transmission of information between the spiders becomes very slow. Giant spiders can't shoot white webs to hunt, which is a disadvantage for arachnids.

When the barbarian slaves appeared on the tree wall and shot and killed the spider warriors, the barbarian slaves could calmly shoot and kill the spider warriors in the woodland under the protection of the tree wall.

The warlords finally realized that it is not so easy to win this battle, so they decided to go on the field themselves to overcome all obstacles in front of them.

The [-] constructed knights of the North Wind Legion finally rushed to the edge of the battlefield at this time. If they tore up the front line of the spider warriors with the front arrow array and made the top of the spider legion feel vigilant, then they will use thunder to Killing the seven spider warlords became the last reason for the spider army to withdraw.

The spiders lost a little hastily. At first we couldn't figure it out, but after calming down, we finally realized that the spider army seemed unable to bear the huge battle damage.

This illustrates one point, the third-front battle made the Spider-Man Legion feel tremendous pressure.

At the same time, it also shows that the number of spider warriors in the plane of Hierro is not as many as we imagined, otherwise they would not choose to retreat despite the superiority of their forces.

Facing the great witch of the tribe of Gilda, she slowly narrated these things, like rocks in a shallow stream finally emerging from the water.

But now she looks so weak, I can feel that her life is passing by little by little, her blood is slowly merging with the sap of the giant tree dryad, I thought she was about to die, and felt a little sad in my heart.

"Are you sorry for me?" She said to me weakly, her eyes seemed to be closed, or she couldn't see anything at all.

"Sorry, I don't know how to help you, are you going to die?" I said to her, I was thinking about the inheritance of those indigenous people about the magic pattern of life, maybe it will be broken when I come to her. For them, this may be their greatest wealth.

Standing in front of the giant tree, watching the blood vessels under her skin turn a little bit blue, the magic lines tattooed on her body are gradually covered by this blue color, and the bark has spread to her face. Breathing became very weak.

"Death, maybe it is!" Her complexion became very bad, her mental state became even worse, and her voice became weaker.

I feel that her breathing may be interrupted at any time.

At this moment, in the spiritual net of the dryad, a very strong spiritual force was transmitted into my mind, and even stirred up my golden sea into waves.

"To be precise, I just changed the shape of my life. You can treat me like a tree."

That was the voice of the great witch of the Gilda tribe. Her consciousness was actually connected to the spirit net of the dryad, or she had already become a part of it.

"I need to sleep to recover some strength, this battle has consumed too much energy of mine, I am a little sleepy, let me sleep for a while... Oh, I almost forgot to say to you, thank you for everything you have done for Green Valley Forest. "

Her voice gradually weakened in my mind, and gradually became smaller...

And the body trapped on the tree trunk was gradually completely wrapped by the giant tree, as if immersed in a pool, the body of the big witch slowly sank into the tree trunk, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Earl Desmond stood behind me, witnessed all this, and asked me in a low voice: "Is this the sacrificial ceremony of the Hierro natives?"

I nodded.

It seems that he has not been recognized by the dryads for the time being, and cannot feel the spiritual net of the dryads.

"What an ancient life sacrifice ceremony, this is the real witchcraft!" Earl Desmond said with emotion.

The branches and vines on the living tree wall not far away quickly withered and scattered like dry firewood. The barbarian slaves standing on the tree wall fell into the dry woodpile one after another. After climbing out of these dead branches, he looked blankly at the collapsed tree wall in front of him, not knowing what to do for a while.

Justus hurriedly summoned the barbarian slaves guarding the tree wall and let them continue their patrol missions to prevent the Spiderman Legion from making a comeback.

And at this moment, I also began to feel that the dryads in the central area of ​​the green valley jungle began to quiet down one after another, and the countless threads that were closely connected in the spiritual net belonging to the dryads were constantly disappearing.

After the killing, the dryads began to fall asleep one after another, and the woodland was filled with nourishment from the corpses of spider warriors. Most of these spider warriors would be buried here.

"Let's meet the owner of this green valley forest together, and I feel it calling me." I pointed to the ancient war tree less than a kilometer ahead, and said to Earl Desmond.

The 150-meter-high ancient war tree in the dense forest is like a green floating island emerging from the sea of ​​trees. The huge tree umbrella on the top is as large as a kilometer in radius, showing a pointed top and a round bottom. Many unknown people live on it. famous birds.

I think those birds are the real favorites in this forest. They are protected by the ancient war tree. As long as the ancient war tree does not fall down, they will always be safe.

"What's that?" Earl Desmond asked me, squinting at the giant tree.

I said, "We mages call it the Ancient War Tree, which belongs to the fourth-level plant-type monster. It is the oldest aborigine on the Hierro plane."

He looked at the big tree in surprise, and said to me: "You mean to say that the alliance agreement you signed with the aborigines of the Yero plane includes not only those Yero natives, but also The oldest natives of Yarrow?"

"Of course, it was with the help of these dryads that we won the battle so easily." I scratched my head and said to Earl Desmond, "Actually, I still want to contact those dragons hiding in the clouds. One family, but they are not so friendly to outsiders, and the spider warlord is their natural enemy, if we want them to contribute in this war of planes, we may have to have something that can prove our strength."

Earl Desmond and I came to the ancient tree of war.

A thick branch slowly descended, and Earl Desmond and I stood on the horizontal branch and let the horizontal branch lift us into the air.

At this time, Earl Desmond finally saw the old face of the ancient war tree. He performed a standard knight salute to the king in the forest, and said to the ancient war tree: "I am very grateful to see you for the first time. Honor, Your Excellency the Ancient Tree of War."

A group of knights following behind him imitated Earl Desmond and saluted the ancient war tree.

"Human warriors of the Grimm Empire!" The ancient war tree made a very dull voice, like the rumble of thunder in the sky, "Thank you for coming here from a long distance, and helping our ancient tree spirits drive away those Nebru ethnic invaders."

"Since we are jointly resisting the invasion of the dark forces of the deep hell, it is right to help each other." I said to the ancient tree of war.

Then I asked him, "Tree Man, where did the spider army go now?"

It could sense the general direction of the spider-man legions fleeing to the south of the forest.

An old face was slightly wrinkled, and it was silent for a while before saying to me: "This time they may abandon the camp in the southern part of the green valley jungle. I feel that the entire southern spider camp is migrating."

Hearing what the ancient war tree said, I couldn't help taking a deep breath. I didn't expect that the Nebulu spiders would evacuate so thoroughly this time. They directly gave up all the camps here and retreated to the south of the Black Forest.

"They actually returned to the southern part of the Black Forest?" Earl Desmond blurted out.

The Ancient War Tree sighed: "Hey! The largest camps of the Nebulu Spider Legion are all in the south of Hesse, and there are still other companions living in the valleys there. I don’t know about their existence, but as long as Nibru continues to expand the spider camp, other ancient trees will eventually be discovered.”

"This time when the Nibru spiders return to the south of the Black Forest, they will definitely wipe out our ancient tree spirits on a large scale in the south. I hope you can take these warriors to the south of the forest to help the fellow ancient trees fight against the spider army. They are completely driven out of the Black Forest." The Ancient War Tree said to us.

It added another sentence: "I will try to contact other ancient trees, and let the dryads in their territories fully cooperate with you in resisting the Nebru spiderman."

I exchanged glances with Lord Desmond.

I opened my mouth and continued to ask: "Street Man, do you know where the passage connecting the plane of Hierro to the abyss is?"

The Ancient War Tree was silent for a long time again, before saying after a long time: "I can't feel its existence, and it should not be within the range of the Black Forest. Maybe you can go to the Great Rift Valley at the southernmost end of the Black Forest to find clues."

Few people set foot in the southern part of the Black Forest, which used to be the sphere of influence of the indigenous people, and they know very little about the situation there, especially whether the southernmost tip of the southern Black Forest is the end of the world. For many people It's all a mystery.

Now I know from the mouth of the ancient war tree that the southernmost tip of the Black Forest is not the end of this world, there is actually a big rift valley there.

"Great Rift Valley?" I asked the ancient tree of war.

Perhaps because the Ancient War Tree couldn't nod, it blinked its eyes and revealed to us the secrets over there. It seemed to be immersed in some ancient memory, and said to us: "There... there used to be Ye Luo The real master of the forest in the plane, but it disappeared with the mountains there a long time ago, and the entire mountains disappeared without a trace, leaving a large rift valley several kilometers deep."

The appearance of the huge rift appeared in my mind, and I really wanted to see the south of the Black Forest.

Now that the Spiderman Legion is retreating to the south, of course we have to follow closely behind them, just like the wind wolves following the herd of one-horned bison. As long as they have some flaws during their migration, we will bite them like the wind wolves. a bite...
