Stealing the protagonist's chance at the beginning

But after just one glance, his face suddenly changed.

Zhou Shen, Zhao Tiange and other extraordinary people came up to take a look, and their expressions changed drastically.

Seeing this scene, the players couldn't help but wonder what they saw in the mirror.

Fortunately, after watching it, Bai Yuanzhi didn't put away the trick mirror immediately, so he gave the players a chance to go around and take a peek.

Then, the faces of the players turned pale.

With the help of the picture reflected in the bronze mirror, players saw a slightly illusory but completely different horror scene from reality.

In the dead camp, at some point, a strange black giant tree appeared.

The giant tree was ten feet high, and its canopy covered the entire camp.Under the crown of the tree, thin dark red lines like blood vessels hung down.Those thin threads fluttered slowly, and the "roots" spreading from the lower end penetrated deeply into the heads of unconscious people and livestock, wriggling and "sucking" continuously, looking as if they were being controlled and hung by remote control. puppet!

In addition to the people and livestock in the caravan, some bloody thin threads also hung from other places, wild beasts, monsters, and even various indescribable creatures.

This frustrating picture made the players feel cold and hard to breathe!

Unfortunately, only the images reflected in the mirror can see these illusory things.What the players saw with their naked eyes was just ordinary drowsiness. There were no giant trees, bloody thin lines, or various manipulated monster puppets.

This intuitive comparison magnifies the feeling of fear and horror.There was even a player who couldn't accept this fear, and was directly kicked off the line because of violent mental fluctuations!

Chapter 48

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Black Tree Puppet!"

After vetoing four or five suspicious options in his mind, Bai Yuanzhi finally confirmed the origin of the strangeness in front of him.

"Black tree puppet?"

Zhao Tiange repeated it, he was sure he had never heard of this name before.

"This is a rare and strange kind of grudge. It is not strong in itself, but it is difficult to see with the naked eye, making it extremely scary. Once encountered, people can easily be approached by it without warning. Then it was manipulated in the dream, and finally became its tree puppet!"

Bai Yuanzhi uttered some information that he finally recalled.

At this time, Xu Fei, who had been listening silently, looked at the two talisman lamps that had long been extinguished and hung on the carriage. near?"

Bai Yuanzhi shook his head: "The power of the talisman lamp comes from the Chuhuo Altar. Although it can also dispel the gray mist, it is weaker than the Chuhuo Altar. In this case, the dream control range of this black tree puppet is wider than imagined, and it affects the people in the caravan outside of the effect of the talisman lamp."

It turned out to be the case.

Both Xu Fei and the players present nodded secretly, consciously gaining some knowledge.

In the future, when going out to the village to carry out inspection missions, it seems that we should be more careful and not trust the effect of the talisman lights too much.

"Now that the origin of this weirdness has been determined, what shall we do next?" Zhou Shen couldn't help asking.

If you try to save people, do it as soon as possible. If you drag it on, I'm afraid everyone will die except for the two male superhumans.

If the strength is insufficient, it is better to make a decision early, staying nearby will only increase the risk.

"Definitely save people!"

Bai Yuanzhi said without thinking.

These caravans and accompanying transcendents were brought out by him from Qingmu Village.If they are all dead, how will he explain to Qingmu Village Santusi after he returns?

Even if he encountered man-eating fire and black tree puppets successively, it is justifiable, I am afraid that he will inevitably suffer.

Needless to say, although the black tree puppet is strong, it is more difficult to defend because of its strangeness, and its own combat power is very limited.Once its existence is discovered in advance, as long as it avoids the scope of dream manipulation, the only available means are those tree puppets.

Among the people present, there was a second-level extraordinary person, three first-level extraordinary persons, and nearly thirty ordinary warriors who carried talismans and had the power to fight.There is still a lot of confidence in dealing with a group of tree puppets that are at most high-level.

To put it bluntly, even if all these ordinary people are exhausted, as long as they can save the three extraordinary people, it will be profitable for Bai Yuanzhi!

Zhou Shen and the others were naturally not so willing.But Bai Yuanzhi came from Qingmu Village, no matter his strength or background, they couldn't disobey him, not to mention his opponent's morality.So no matter how doubtful you are, you can only grit your teeth and agree.

The battle order was issued, and the atmosphere became tense in an instant.

Even the players who can be resurrected, facing the first battle since entering the game, they can't help being extremely nervous.

With an order, five accompanying NPC players carrying bows and arrows stuck the Red Flame Talisman on the arrows. After activation, under the guidance of Bai Yuanzhi, they attacked the center of the empty camp.

Five arrows burning with raging flames pierced through the air, almost completely sinking into an invisible object.

The flame attached to the arrow spread rapidly, and the scorching damage forced the nothingness of the black tree puppet to show its figure.

The next moment, the giant black tree shook its canopy angrily, let down tree puppets one after another, and gave them an attack order.

Almost in an instant, dozens of tree puppets in human and animal shapes appeared under the canopy, like wolves out of cages, killing them one after another!

The war broke out immediately!

Bai Yuanzhi's face was stern, and he transformed into a wooden soldier, and remotely controlled it to slash down from the air. With the help of the blue flame attached to it, he wiped out the tree puppet in front with just one sword.

But these manipulated puppets didn't know what fear was at all, they swarmed forward unaffected, and rushed out of the camp just as they watched.

At the critical moment, Zhou Shen, Wei Jinpeng, and Zhao Tiange stepped forward.

The three extraordinary people used the black stone potion together, or their hands and feet were covered with a layer of black stone skin, or their whole body turned into a black diamond, fiercely blocking the front.

Since the two deputy captains still had weak parts that could not be defended, they were somewhat apprehensive when fighting the tree puppet.But Zhou Shen's whole body had been blackened to petrification, making him invulnerable. Facing the swarming tree puppets, he chose to attack but not defend.

With just one punch, a tree puppet that was trying to tear him apart was hammered to the ground.Then he easily captured a tree puppet and threw it back like a cannonball, causing chaos for the subsequent tree puppets.

The strength of the three of them restrained half of the tree puppets.

The remaining tree puppets, under the control of the black tree puppets, bypassed the three of them and rushed towards the following NPCs and players.

Facing these terrifying tree puppets, the NPCs who were waiting in battle activated the red flame talisman one after another, relying on the carriage, formed an formation to fight against them.

In contrast, the formation of the players is much more scattered.Although the confidence to be able to resurrect, coupled with the strength of the overall body training in the middle stage, prevented them from being crushed at once, but after all, they had no actual combat experience and could not form an effective cooperation, and most of them fought on their own.

In just a few seconds, a panicked player was bitten by a wolf-shaped tree puppet on his right leg, lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Seeing that he was about to be dragged into the tree puppet, the players next to him rushed to rescue him.

It's a pity that when he fell with the knife, although he cut the wolf-shaped tree puppet, there was an obvious flaw in himself.

The subsequent thorny beast-shaped tree puppets seized the opportunity to suddenly spew out several spikes.That sharp spike, with a piercing power no less than a steel needle, pierced the player's heart in an instant!

Players in the middle stage of body forging are still mortals in essence, and if their vitals are injured, it is nothing more than relying on their strong blood to support them for a few seconds, and then quickly lose their vitality!

And the sacrifice of this player is just the beginning.

As the fighting continued, more people became dangerous.

If Zhou Shen and the others didn't care about the casualties of the players, then when the NPC teammates also suffered casualties, the few people who had been paying attention to this side couldn't sit still.

Shouted to Bai Yuanzhi: "Bai Shangshi, can your wooden soldiers kill the black tree puppet directly?"

If they can capture the thief first, why should they fight with these tree puppets one by one?

While moving around with footwork, Bai Yuanzhi, who was constantly beheading the tree puppets with the wooden soldiers by remote control, showed a hesitant expression upon hearing this.

His [Wood Slasher] potion is not digested too well, and the distance he can attack from the air is also limited.If you want to attack the black tree puppet directly, you have to take a little risk to get close.

Although with the strength of his second-order transcendent, he has the confidence to resist the dream manipulation of the black tree puppet, but a short-term trance is unavoidable.

In case of being attacked by a tree puppet controlled by it during the period...

To be on the safe side, let's eliminate some of these tree puppets.

Chapter 49

The conservative strategy chosen by Bai Yuanzhi dissatisfied Zhou Shen and the others, but there was nothing they could do.

Fortunately, the puppets that the black tree puppet can control are not infinite after all.After most of them were held back by them and the players, the number of tree puppets besieging Bai Yuanzhi continued to decrease, and were soon wiped out by the sharp wooden soldiers to only four or five.

Seeing that the pressure was getting less and less, Bai Yuanzhi suddenly stopped and urged his extraordinary power with all his strength.

The transformed wooden soldier was blessed with extraordinary power, and could not help but make a slight clanging sound, and the green flame attached to the sword expanded rapidly from the original thin layer to a full foot.

From this astonishing aura, one can imagine that the next blow will definitely be earth-shattering!

"go with!"

Bai Yuanzhi let out a low drink, and controlled the wooden soldiers to slash down like lightning.I saw a blue light passing by, with an arc that was hard to see with the naked eye. After a short while, the remaining four or five tree puppets were cut off with a single sword, and all of them turned into fly ash!

Even the black tree puppet seemed to be frightened by the power of this blow, and the luxuriant canopy could not help but sway.

However, the consumption of activating this sword was still quite large for Bai Yuanzhi, and his face turned pale a little.

But the effect is also very obvious, the black tree puppet finally has no extra puppets to restrain him.

After taking a breath, Bai Yuanzhi looked at the black tree puppet in the center of the camp with murderous intent in his eyes, and then moved forward step by step.

Five steps!

Ten steps!

When he was about to walk to the camp, and when he was about to enter the effective attack range of the wooden soldiers, the dream control of the black tree puppet came without warning.

Bai Yuanzhi only felt a drowsy feeling suddenly rushing to his heart, and then he saw that his surrounding vision became blurred and blurred.

The wooden soldier who was originally light as nothing and floating in front of him suddenly became as heavy as steel, falling to the ground little by little.

But Bai Yuanzhi, who had been on guard for a long time, immediately concentrated his mental strength to fight against this drowsy feeling.

With the strength of his second-order transcendent, he can temporarily suppress this feeling in an instant, and then launch a thunderous blow to destroy the black tree puppet!

Zhou Shen, Zhao Tiange, and Wei Jinpeng also knew that the critical moment was coming, and they went all out one by one, desperately holding back the puppet in front of them who was trying to come back.

But just as Bai Yuanzhi suppressed the power of the dream and his eyes gradually regained clarity, a mysterious black-robed man suddenly appeared in the gray mist not far away.

No one knew the origin of this mysterious man, nor did he know whether he had just arrived or had been lying in ambush for a long time.Even several Huaizhuang extraordinary people and Bai Yuanzhi didn't notice anything abnormal beforehand.

When Zhou Shen's perception finally realized something was wrong, and when he looked back to see the man in black, it was too late.

The black-robed man looked at the situation coldly, then pointed at Bai Yuanzhi and activated his potion ability.

Disaster!

Bai Yuanzhi, who had almost suppressed the power of the dream, and then killed the black tree puppet, was entangled by the black aura of the potion of chaos.The extraordinary power in the body suddenly became unprecedentedly weak, and became chaotic uncontrollably.

What was even more frightening was that the extraordinary spirituality of the [Wood Slasher] potion that had not been fully digested was also affected by the disaster, and it was restless and restless in his body.

Bai Yuanzhi's originally stable breath quickly became crazy and distorted.Terrible sarcoids also appeared on the surface of the body, showing signs of loss of control and degeneration!

"not good!"

Bai Yuanzhi turned pale with shock, and quickly concentrated his strength to suppress the signs of loss of control.

But under the dual use of distraction, the once suppressed and drowsy energy regained the upper hand, dragging him into the dreamland little by little.

This is a difficult choice.

On the one hand, it lost control immediately, on the other hand, it was dragged into a dream, and then reduced to a tree puppet after being controlled!

Bai Yuanzhi had no choice but to choose the lesser of two evils. By delaying and waiting for a change, he might be able to wait for the rescue of Zhou Shen and other teammates.

But if there are no variables, it is nothing more than a moment of late death.It won't be long before the black tree puppet will have an extra tree puppet who is the incarnation of a second-order extraordinary person!

This result made the man in black smile with satisfaction, and turned to look at Zhou Shen.

"Who are you, dare to take action against the extraordinary in Qingmu Village? Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by Santusi?"

Zhou Shen was shocked by the sudden change.While reporting his background and trying to scare the other party away, he secretly took out his hole cards.

It was a phalanx as white as jade, and it was also a strange thing with powerful effects, but with extremely serious consequences!

After using it, you can turn yourself into a skeleton, have a nearly immortal body, and a power far beyond the normal form.

But the negative effect is that as time goes by, this skeletonization will be irreversibly solidified and become a permanent living dead!

And this curing speed is very fast, and it is extremely difficult to remove.

Because of this, Zhou Shen would definitely not want to use it if he was not threatened with life and death.

Noticing Zhou Shen's small movements, the black-robed man's face changed slightly, as if he knew the effect of Zhou Shen's strange thing.

His reaction was not slow either, silently reciting a strange and awkward syllable, he took the first step to activate the pendant of the faceless god statue that was held in his hand in advance, full of indescribable aura.

Centered on the man in black, the psychedelic light rapidly spread around, almost radiating to the entire camp.

Swept by this hazy light, whether it was the three extraordinary people or the players, they all stopped for a moment and fell into an inextricable illusion.

Almost at the same time, the body of the man in black staggered, he almost fainted, and tears flowed from his eyes.

Obviously, releasing such a large-scale spell beyond the level, even if it uses the power of a high-level existence, it is not free.

Even so, this tricky spell still has serious drawbacks.
