Chapter 52 Treeman Ido

In just a few minutes, four or five kobolds died in Xinghan's hands.

Their bodies lay in a pool of blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The remaining 10 or so kobolds wanted to form a battle formation to resist Xinghan's attack.

However, the birds and beasts summoned by Xinghan have returned one after another. Although they are not strong in combat effectiveness, they can also effectively interfere with the kobolds' formation of battle formations.

These birds and beasts shuttled flexibly between the kobolds, biting and hitting them constantly, leaving the kobolds with no time to worry about Xinghan's attack.

Moreover, from time to time, "dark ratmen" would emerge from the ground and attack the kobold's lower body.

These "dark ratmen" are slender and agile, and can often deliver a fatal blow to the kobolds when they are unprepared.

In the blink of an eye, three more kobolds died under the siege of Xinghan and the "Dark Ratmen".

The remaining five or six kobolds were no longer able to form a battle formation. Seeing that the situation was not good, they wanted to find an opportunity to escape.

But how could Xinghan give them such an opportunity?

Xinghan chased after a kobold and knocked it away with one punch.

Several other kobolds fled in different directions, and were about to escape Xinghan's tracking range.

Liuli flew out of the tree crown on the side and used the freezing technique on the two fastest kobolds.

The two kobolds were covered in frost. Although they were not completely frozen, their running speed was slowed down by more than half.

……

Three minutes later, the last kobold's throat was pinched by Xinghan. Liuli immediately used all his strength to superimpose a halo of wind on Xinghan.

There was wind under Xinghan's feet, and the two of them ran towards the Manila Fortress at full speed without saying much.

The movement here must not escape the perception of the orc scouts. Fortunately, they are only the last 5 kilometers away from the Manila Fortress.

Xinghan wanted to rush to the designated location and light the warrant before the large orc army encircled him.

More than 100 of the birds and beasts summoned by Xinghan are still alive.

They dispersed again, and Xinghan avoided the orc scouts he found along the way, and if he couldn't avoid them, he quickly killed them.

In less than 10 minutes, Xinghan passed through the dense forest and reached the edge of the Manila Fortress.

The birds and beasts he summoned have been exhausted, and there are only more than 30 ratmen left among the fifty or so. Xinghan orders them to go to the edge of the dense forest to contain possible enemies.

The Manila Fortress looks like a huge pyramid from a distance.

After getting closer, Xinghan discovered that the Manila Fortress was in the shape of a pyramid, as if it were a huge thing made up of countless ancient plants.

Xinghan walked to the side of the Manila Fortress, quickly took out the warrant and lit it on fire.

According to Liuli, the hidden line will come to the city wall to meet him within 10 minutes after the warrant is lit.

But neither Liuli nor Xinghan knew how the other party would appear in front of them.

Three minutes passed, and noisy footsteps and shouts began to be heard in the distant dense forest. Xinghan felt that the "Dark Ratmen" he summoned were rapidly reducing their numbers.

More and more footsteps were approaching, and the two of Xinghan were nesting in a hidden corner composed of a large number of tree roots.

Liuli was very nervous and pulled Xinghan's hair involuntarily.

Xinghan held onto the "Dark Emperor Blade" tightly. When it came to a last resort, he could only choose "Explosive Soldiers" and then go through the terrifying-sounding "Hell Road·Feast of Flesh".

"Ah! Mmm—"

Suddenly, Liuli let out a exclamation, which scared Xinghan and quickly covered her mouth.

Xinghan looked in the direction of Liuli's gaze, and it turned out that a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the wall of the fortress beside the two of them.

Those eyes were moving around, as if they were observing whether the surrounding environment was safe. After confirming that only Xinghan and Liuli were around, the walls of the fortress began to squirm.

Ten seconds later, a tree hole that could accommodate one person appeared on the fortress.

A skinny ancient tree man poked his head out and waved to the two of them, telling them to get in quickly.

The noise behind him was getting closer and closer. Xinghan didn't have time to think about it and dove into the hole of the tree.

The moment his feet completely entered the tree hole, the walls of the fortress began to squirm again and soon returned to their original state.

Xinghan looked back and saw that the road behind him was completely blocked.

The tree man in front had disappeared, so Xinghan had no choice but to move forward, but he was not worried about any danger for the time being.

After all, if the other party wanted to kill him, they could just ignore him just now. There was no need to go to all the trouble to trick him into getting into the fortress.

After crawling about a few hundred meters in the tree hole, a faint light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

After crawling a few steps again, Xinghan poked his head out of a hole.

A pungent stench penetrated Xinghan's nostrils.

With the faint light, he could see that he was in a large, dirty and damp passage.

"What is this place?" Xinghan asked.

The skinny tree man was sitting in the smelly ditch in front of him, breathing heavily.

As for Fairy Liuli, she was covering her mouth and nose with a small handkerchief and didn't want to say a word at all.

"This is the bottom of the Manila Fortress. It is where the orcs' domestic water and excrement are discharged. It is commonly known as the sewer."

The tree man took a few breaths and seemed to have recovered a little.

Liuli lit a light spell, and with the light of the light spell, Xinghan was able to take a closer look at the Shuren's appearance.

This tree man was completely different from the ancient tree men he usually saw.

Generally speaking, even a newly born Ancient Tree Man is about one meter tall.

The ancient tree man in front of me is obviously an adult, but its height is less than 1 meters. It is obviously a dwarf among the ancient tree men.

Probably because of living in the sewer for a long time, the branches and leaves that should be tall and green appear dry and yellow, and the bark on the body is also mottled.

Noticing Xinghan's gaze, the ancient tree man raised his withered vine-like arms and pulled out his roots from the smelly ditch.

"My name is Ido. I have been an outlier among the ancient tree people since I was a child. My body is weak, my life core is fragile, and I don't even have the energy fluctuations that an ancient tree person should have."

The most critical organ of the ancient tree people is the core of life located in the heart of the tree.

Normally, no matter how much damage the Ancient Tree Man suffers, as long as the life core remains intact and sufficient materials and nutrients are provided, he can be resurrected.

But the ancient tree people in front of them are obviously different. Their core is very weak, so fragile that they cannot be monitored by the fortress.

"I should have been abandoned and died alone in the wilderness."

Ido, the ancient tree man, laughed at himself.

"It was the Elf King who picked me up and told me that there are no useless ancient tree people, only ancient tree people who have not found their own value."

"So I have a father and many brothers. We are all abandoned children. The Elf King has given us a new life. I am willing to give everything for him."
