Versatile Mage: The Road to Invincibility

Chapter 151 Sudden attack, tree spirit

"What a pity!" the middle-aged uncle sighed leisurely, driving a small truck in the direction of the setting sun.

Because there are not many people walking on this road, it is a flat road. As for the speed limit, there is no speed limit. The speed of large trucks can almost be compared with that of cars.

"Brush~"

Soon, the truck stopped. Ling Tianyu looked around, but there was no trace of the village.

"Oh, our place is relatively remote and we have to walk a long way up a mountain road." The driver explained with a smile.

"Tsk, this remoteness really deserves its reputation. Even though the whole country is crazy about infrastructure construction, there are still fish that have slipped through the net." Of course, Ling Tianyu said these words in his heart.

In fact, on the surface: "Yeah, I understand, it's close to nature!"

…………

Naturally, big trucks cannot drive on the mountain road, so the people in the mountain village showed their special skills. Horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts went into battle together, and a dozen or so people returned to the village together with daily necessities.

Among them, Ling Tianyu naturally became the focus, an outsider, so fresh!

It made him feel a little embarrassed.

Of course they didn't forget about business. They loaded up the supplies and the driver parked the truck in a wooden shed next to the road.

In this remote place, no one would come here to steal a car.

…………

In this way, a group of people wandered towards the village.

"Tianyu, are you Feng Yu's friend?"

"That's right." Ling Tianyu nodded.

"It's pity that Feng Yu was alone. After his death, a friend came once and left in a hurry after paying homage."

"Yes!" All the villagers sighed with regret. Good people are not rewarded.

Ling Tianyu also sighed in his heart. After all, it was an acquaintance, and it was okay to pay homage.

Of course kowtow is impossible.

As he thought this, the night was already deep, and the setting sun playfully hid below the horizon, putting away the last of his tenderness today, leaving behind the boundless coldness.

As a guest, Ling Tianyu was undoubtedly in the middle of the group. Some people even enthusiastically wanted him to sit in the carriage, but of course he declined.

"what!"

Suddenly, a burst of exclamation came from the front of the team. Everyone was startled and ran forward in a hurry.

"Lao Mu, what did you do?" The driver's uncle was also in front and hurriedly pulled up a man who had fallen into the pit.

"My legs..." Old Mu bared his teeth, and a trace of the smell of blood drifted along the night wind. "Damn, why did a big hole suddenly appear in front of the carriage? When did it appear..."

"Oops, we have to move faster!" The uncle driver, obviously the leader of this group of people, ordered in an orderly manner.

"Lao Mu gets on the carriage, and Lao Yu goes down to see if the horses are injured. Move quickly! Also, the light and earth mages are ready!"

Even without using his psychic system, Ling Tianyu could detect the nervousness of the master driver by observing his words, so he asked, "Are you afraid of something?"

"You are from outside, so it's normal that you don't know. There were no potholes on this road when they came, which means there must be something obstructing it." The uncle driver did not hide it. Ling Tianyu had already exposed his strength as a mid-level mage and told him You can also prepare in advance.

"If you ask me, it should be those cunning tree spirits!"

Dryad?

Ling Tianyu quickly retrieved relevant information in his mind. Most of these things are as tall as a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. They are cunning in nature, but one thing is extremely fatal, that is, they are afraid of cold, very cold, so they are basically only found in Yunnan Province. There are branches, but there are none in the rest of the country.

It is cunning by nature, and there are even rumors that it pretends to be a child by wearing shabby clothes on the side of a remote road, waving its hands to stop passing vehicles. If any kind-hearted person gets out of the car to check the situation, I'm sorry, he is gone!

In addition, they move in groups, and the strength of a single one may not be very good, but together, the ants can kill an elephant in large numbers!

Therefore, they are very troublesome creatures in this area, so the government often launches eradication operations against them, but the results are hard to describe every time.

First of all, tree spirits, as the name suggests, their living areas are mainly in trees, and there is no need to say much about their flexibility. Coupled with their cunning, they would run very fast when encountering a large human army. When someone was left alone, they would attack with lightning. There was even a record of a tree spirit leading the human side into a valley, then sealing the entrance and exit, pushing down boulders from the top of the valley, and crushing countless junior high school students to death. Level mage.

The second point is also a very important reason. After all, where the national border lies, we cannot completely solve the root cause.

There is also a very disgusting point similar to the goblins often mentioned in previous animations. This creature has no ability to reproduce itself. It requires an adult female to give birth to the next generation. Its reproductive ability is amazing, and it can give birth to dozens of children at a time. Only offspring will be a disaster when they grow up.

By the way, there is no unified gender division for dryads, that is, each one can participate in reproduction.

This shows how difficult they are to deal with. Not a thousand but hundreds of humans die at their hands every year, and the higher-ups are also very worried about them.

This is true even for a huge country like ours, not to mention the small countries in Southeast Asia. The magicians are not as powerful as us, and they have almost no resistance against the elusive tree spirits.

They are basically ruined. The only safe place in the country is the city center. Yes, you are right, it is the city center. A small country like theirs does not even have a few earth cores. Many cities rely on magicians to protect them. But there are inevitably some loopholes in this, and the dryad can naturally take advantage of this gap.

Even if they live in cities, humans may not be safe. The mortality rate of human civilians, especially young women, remains high, making it a paradise for tree spirits.

The government has failed to act, and the civilians have no resistance. Southeast Asia has completely become a paradise for tree spirits. The number of groups is growing day by day. If there is no food chain to limit the growth of the population, their number is simply unimaginable.

But even so, its threat level remains high.

The most tragic disaster in the past hundred years was the astonishing birth of an unprecedented tree spirit monarch among the tree spirits. Tens of thousands of tree spirits led by the tree spirits completely submerged a large city in Southeast Asia. of Phnom Penh.

In the face of huge numbers, even super-level mages are extremely fragile. Several people have fallen and even the tree spirit monarch has been seriously injured.

If the three top men in our country hadn't taken action, I'm afraid that city would have turned into a paradise for tree spirits.

…………

No, it's even said that not only humans, but other demons also hate this kind of creature. The tree spirit doesn't care whether the opponent is human or other, it only knows that if it can be beaten, then go for it, and if it can't be beaten, run away!

Creatures like tree spirits are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood. If they were to detect this team, I'm afraid...
