Chapter 551, Page 549: Saving the Tree Shepherd (Please Subscribe)

The roar of the ancient red dragon came, which made Luo Yi suddenly freeze.

Indeed, in his memory, within the Prime Material Plane, the Red Dragon Virgil was the pinnacle of combat power, a unique existence among the legendary figures.

For him to be able to call for help, just how powerful must that Fallen Tree Shepherd be?

Luo Yi suddenly turned her head to look, but her expression froze again.

Because, as far as the eye could see, the ancient red dragon pressed down with its entire body, directly pinning the treant to the ground.

His two dragon claws gripped the tree shepherd's two arms, while his powerful hind legs pinned down the tree shepherd's legs.

Its long tail coiled in a circle and actually bound the tree shepherd.

Of course, the tree shepherd was also struggling fiercely, and vines and roots flew around, lashing the red dragon like whips.

However, the thick and sturdy dragon scales ignored the damage, and if they got annoyed, a sweep of a pair of huge dragon wings could destroy a lot of vines.

Every now and then, the tree shepherd would chant incantations. It seemed that as long as a single word of the ancient incantation was uttered, it could stir up the elements of heaven and earth and resonate with them.

In an attempt to subdue him, the red dragon actually pressed its head down on him, its ferocious dragon head twisting and turning, a sight that was truly an eyesore.

Everyone says that dragons are inherently lewd. I didn't feel anything when I was with this red dragon before, but I didn't expect it to have such unique tastes.

With his angel wings fully extended, he flapped them again, causing ripples in the space. His figure disappeared and reappeared on the ground battlefield.

He didn't rush to attack, but instead slowly paced around the two enormous creatures before finally reaching the dragon's head.

After coughing lightly a few times, Luo Yi said, "Um, Your Excellency, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"In broad daylight, under the clear sky, is it a bit much for you to treat a tree shepherd like this, cough cough cough?"

As he said this, he then asked, "Wait, is this tree shepherd male or female?"
Or perhaps, are the tree shepherds male and female? Can they reproduce sexually?

Clearly, the ancient red dragon's body suddenly stiffened, as if it had been struck by the legendary magic 'Large Monster Freeze'.

The fallen tree shepherd seemed to sense this and struggled even more violently, only to be forcefully suppressed by the red dragon.

Even so, the red dragon Virgil suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Loy, his dragon eyes seeming to spit fire.

"Luo Yi, what nonsense are you spouting? Can't you see I'm trying my best to control him?"

"Stop staring, hurry up and help!"

Luo Yi took a step back and said, "Um, um, is it really appropriate for me to take action?"

Furthermore, I don't possess any powerful control-type combat skills!

Virgil the Red Dragon cried out, "Groot the Tree Shepherd, my Tree Shepherd friend, Isis Winespring, is from him."

You've forgotten all that?

Luo Yi paused, then asked, "Is this the same tree shepherd?"

"For such an ancient species as the Tree Shepherd to have one survive is already quite remarkable."

How much more do you want?

"So what's wrong with him now?"

"It must have been a scheme by Grand Duke Toledo. It's either dark magic or vampire sorcery, or some kind of evil magic that controls them."

"The problem is, I'm not a magician, how am I supposed to break free from his control? I've never learned how!"

Loy said this with such confidence that it made the red dragon Virgil roll his eyes: "The nemesis of dark magic is none other than holy combat techniques."

Paladins are never just simple knight units; they can also heal wounds. Isn't this the kind of healing holy magic you've learned—perfect for this kind of situation?

Luo Yi was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but finally realized what was happening. He narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his hand, sending down a beam of purple holy light.

This was the 'Holy Light Exorcism' used to lift the curse. It landed on the red dragon and was then guided into the treant's body.

Visibly, wisps of evil energy rose and dissipated into the air as they were burned.

The struggling tree shepherd was quiet for a moment, but only for a moment, before it began to struggle frantically again.
Not only that, but you can also clearly see the pain on his face, as if he is being tortured by having his flesh cut off and bones removed.

"Don't just use this one, there are others too, Holy Light Soothes the Soul, Holy Light Heals, Holy Light Blesses, use them in rotation."

With guidance from the ancient red dragon Virgil, Roy immediately took action, guiding beams of holy light of various colors down from the sky.

The effect was quite obvious; the shepherd's soul was soothed, and the evil curse within his body was quickly removed.
Under the holy light, wisps of curse power were forced out of the body, even condensing into a hideous skull that roared incessantly.

But Loy bestowed upon them a ball of holy fire, and burned them to ashes.

As for 'Holy Light Healing' for rapid wound healing and 'Holy Light Blessing' for rapid energy recovery, they seem out of place in the current situation. However, using the four healing-type holy combat arts in turn can have a good synergistic effect, doubling the ability to dispel curses.

Seeing that the tree shepherd had quieted down, the red dragon Virgil immediately got up, and with a surge of magic, he transformed into human form.

The hunched old man also prayed, and holy light descended upon him.

However, after realizing that the effect of expelling the curse had reached its limit regardless of his presence, he stopped wasting his energy.

When he looked up again and saw the four legends locked in a fierce battle, his anger surged.

Whether it was Luo Yi's teasing or because his friend had been harmed, he once again let out a continuous series of dragon roars.
An ancient red dragon with an exaggerated size appeared in mid-air. With a flap of its wings, it stirred up a huge sonic wave and soared into the sky.

First came a powerful burst of dragon breath, then its massive form rammed into them...

The same trick still works!

Not to mention the old vampires and the progenitors of the dark werewolves, even Duke and Duchess Karen fled as fast as they could, fearing they would suffer an undeserved disaster.

Of course, they could escape, but the ancient vampires and the progenitors of the dark werewolves suffered greatly, being chased by the ancient red dragon and driven to the brink of extinction.

In particular, the progenitor of the dark werewolves, in his Fenrir wolf form, successfully attracted the attention of the ancient red dragon.

After all, vampires are so small, they're not even big enough to fill a tooth gap, but this giant wolf is big enough to bite.

Surprisingly, at this moment, the aged vampire, Grand Duke Bruch, did not turn around and flee.

Instead, they used blood magic and ranged attacks to draw aggro and anger the red dragon, thus creating an opportunity for the Dark Werewolf Progenitor to escape.

They did not seem to show the hostility and conflict they did in front of the Grand Duke of Toledo; on the contrary, they seemed to have an unspoken understanding.

After a chase, neither of the two legends was defeated, which displeased Virgil the Red Dragon.

Although it's normal to not be able to win, he felt he lost face when Luo Yi killed the enemy in front of him.

However, he still managed to get his hands on that butcher's knife!

The red dragon was naturally unhappy to have this vampire artifact in its hands, and struggled fiercely, even trying to retaliate.

But with just a change in his aura, and the holy light surging and washing over him repeatedly, the undead warriors screamed and fled in terror.

When the red dragon Virgil returned to the forest and the battlefield where he fought the tree shepherd, the ten-meter-tall tree shepherd had already sat up.

Even when sitting, its enormous body resembled a two-story building, yet the violent aura emanating from it had vanished, replaced by a peaceful and vibrant energy.

He looked up slightly and saw a huge red dragon descending from the sky. Its eyes, full of vicissitudes and wisdom, looked at him, and a gentle smile naturally appeared on its lips.

"You little rascal, we meet again? Did you finish drinking the wine from the Isis Wine Spring that you stole from me back then?"

The ancient red dragon, so majestic and powerful, staggered upon hearing these words and almost fell over.

"Brother Groot, please, I've lived for thousands of years, can we please not mention this nickname anymore?"

As he said this, he flicked his dragon whiskers and said, "Now I am, after all, a noble legendary lord, a powerful ancient red dragon, and I have my pride."

"If I can't mention your nickname, can I talk about those embarrassing things you did when you were a child?"
For example, the story of you being chased by a two-legged lizard and ending up in a graveyard, and...

"Etc., etc!"

Virgil the Red Dragon quickly called for a halt, his massive dragon body trembling. He also glanced at Loy, and seeing his gossipy expression, quickly changed the subject.

"Um, um, Brother Groot, can you tell me what's going on with you?"

"Back then, I went out for a while, and when I came back, I couldn't find you. I was heartbroken for a long time."

But why are you here? And why are you enslaved by Grand Duke Toledo?

"Well, that's a long story!"

"Then speak slowly, and we'll listen attentively!"

"it is good!"

The sane tree shepherd's control over wood magic has reached an astonishing level.
With a casual wave of his hand, vines sprouted from the ground, intertwined into a net, and were then shaped into seats that best suited each individual's body shape.

Luo Yi plopped down and shifted her bottom. Not only did she not feel any discomfort, but she even found it quite soft.

The red dragon Virgil seemed to be very familiar with the place. He stretched out his massive body, shifted around, and found the most comfortable position.

Luo Yi could see clearly that the tree chair even adjusted slightly with his movements.

Finally, the tree shepherd sat down and began to tell his story in a leisurely manner.
