Mercenaries and Adventurers

Keir thought beautifully, and directly burned the werewolf to death on the big tree.

But what happened next caught him and the werewolf by surprise.

The trunks and branches of the small trees felled by Keel were burning. Thanks to the dry winter, the moisture on the trees was turned into ice and snow and frozen.

The snow at the roots of the big tree was roasted by the flames, and soon turned into accumulated water, and then it was dried up and turned into white water vapor that floated upwards.

Kiel was also forced to retreat due to the high temperature, while the werewolf on the big tree was coughing repeatedly due to the continuous wood smoke, and it was difficult to open his eyes. It panicked and wanted to jump onto the surrounding big trees, but the tallest of the surrounding big trees was no more than ten meters high, which was too far behind this particularly tall tree.

This height difference, if you jump down and fail to land in a good place, you will directly crash into a branch and die.

Worf the werewolf wanted to climb down the big tree, trying to get as close as possible to the difference. But the heat and smoke rising from the fire made it even more unbearable.

At this moment, Worf the werewolf felt the big tree under his feet shake.

Keel staggered and felt the ground under his feet rise and fall.

"Earthquake?" he thought.

"Is the tree going to fall?" the werewolf thought.

But the real facts are not as they guessed.

The thick and sturdy tree tens of meters high shook, and a large amount of snow on each branch was shaken off profusely, as if it was snowing again in the sky.

Kiel saw clearly on the ground that it was this big tree, and the whole big tree suddenly shook.

The werewolf on the big tree almost couldn't stand on the branch. When it was shaking, he had to lie on the branch with his whole body, using his undamaged thumb claws and the one-centimeter-long primary claws regrown from other fingers to grab the branch. of bark.

It started yelling indiscriminately in fright, no human words, only wolf language.

Then the shaking of the tree stopped for a moment, but this was not the end.

Keel felt something trembling under his feet, so frightened, he immediately hugged the horse's neck, and one by one, he avoided the open space around the big tree and retreated to hide beside the other trees around the big tree.

Just where Kiel was standing just now, the ground suddenly cracked, the snow was blown away, and the soil turned into scattered smoke and dust.

Keel saw a two-meter-thick, black tree root in the shape of a giant python rising from the ground. I don't know how long this thing is, but only a little bit of it is exposed, and it is more than ten meters long.

At the same time, in several other directions of the big tree, another six thick roots also broke out from the ground. They are long and short, but they are all densely packed with more root hairs growing on the thick roots.

All these roots are swinging freely in the air, subconsciously wrapping and gripping anything they come across.

Scattered stones and animal bones buried deep in the soil, panicked moles and hibernating striped snakes. All these underground things were dug out, and then they were caught by the roots of the big tree.

Keel watched the shocking scene with his mouth wide open, and some meaningless words came out of his mouth.

"Big, the big tree is alive!"

The werewolf Worf, who was also shocked to the point of death on the big tree, also yelled and cursed in panic.

"God! What are these things! Ah! Ah~ It's all your fault! Kiel!! You **** daredevil who messed up everything! Stupid earthworms that the fish in the stupid lake hate! Big worms in the cesspit Delicious flies!"

When Keel heard the increasingly stinky curses of the werewolf Worf on the dangling tree, he couldn't get angry. He also hid behind the distant tree trunk not to be outdone, and fought back loudly at the other party.

"Isn't it because you are a murderous and arrogant dog head! Such a tall body is not easy to make clothes, is it? Oh~ I forgot, you are wearing a sweater! Oh, so to speak, you are actually a piece of clothing at this time No clothes? What a shameless beast, die and play and mate with your four-legged companions in the wild!"

"What? What do you know! Do you understand the gold content of my fur to keep warm!"

"So it's hot and you can only pick up the snow on the ground to eat, right?"

"Dog! I'm going to eat you today!"

"Who are you talking about! You are calling yourself!"

Just when Kiel and the werewolf were talking about 'communicating' with each other, the tall tree didn't stop the movement of its roots.

All kinds of miscellaneous things that were entangled in the roots and tendrils of the tree were all thrown by it into the fire piled by Keel beside the tree trunk.

Some of those things can be burned, but some are combustion-supporting materials, so they are of no use at all.

Afterwards, the big tree flattened its roots on the ground, and rumbled away the original snow on the surrounding ground. However, there are many potholes on the ground with roots protruding from the ground, and most of the snow has fallen into these pits.

However, it is not useless. The small amount of snow and the large amount of soil moved by the roots of the big tree are not things that can be burned. Once they touch the fire, they will still bury a large amount of firewood in the fire.

The burning firewood that came into contact with the snow was immediately extinguished, and the firewood buried in the soil could only emit green smoke from the cracks in the soil.

The big moving tree seems to be particularly afraid of fire. Even though it has huge roots, it doesn't dare to let its thick roots touch a little bit of flames.

So only this indirect method can be used to extinguish the fire that Kiel raised.

After the big tree was busy for a while, and finally extinguished the flame, the whole big tree shook slightly. The tall branches slid across the icy air slightly, making a whirring sound. The thick tree roots and the thousands of roots on the roots kept beating the ground, and the resounding vibration and knocking sound made the whole ground seem to be shaking.

Keir's horse was already terrified, and Keir let go of the arm that was holding it tightly around its neck, letting it run away in a panic. He couldn't escape by himself, after all, the werewolf who was about to be killed was still hanging on the branch on the top of the tree, screaming and screaming.

It doesn’t work if you don’t bark. A tree tens of meters high swings randomly. To a werewolf, it swings up, down, left, and right. If it doesn’t hold tightly to the branches under it, it will be thrown all at once fly.

It estimated that after being thrown away, whether it was hung on other trees or fell to the ground unluckily, it would be a tragic result of serious injuries, and then it would only be killed by that sharp-mouthed kid with a sword.

So no matter what the big tree is doing at this time, it won't let go.

-

Keir wanted to taunt Worf the werewolf again, but he couldn't laugh anymore. The tall tree tens of meters high and weighing hundreds of thousands of tons became more and more active, and its whole body slowly climbed out of the ground.

Use the roots for your legs, the branches for your arms, and the trunk for your body.

This huge plant seemed to have its own means of perception. After extinguishing the dangerous fire, it swayed for a while, then pulled out from the ground, and began to slowly crawl towards Kiel.

The roots, which were much thicker than the trunks of the trees next to them, just pushed slightly during the crawling movement, and the big tree where Keel was hiding was completely pushed to the ground.

Before the roots were forced out of the soil, the entire trunk was inferred by the roots of the big tree.

Obviously, for this big tree that can move freely, the life and death of these 'little ones' around it are not taken seriously by it.

Keel took two steps back, out of the way of the fallen tree. Then he lay down on the ground again, dodging the thick tree roots swinging from his chest. The many roots on it still entangled Kiel, but they were all cut off by him hunting with the long sword and the steel dagger in his deputy.

Kiel rolled around on the ground, and then stretched out the long sword and slashed horizontally, splitting a half-meter-long wound on the seemingly flexible tree roots.

Milky white sap came out of the wound, and when Kiel, who was very close, smelled it, he felt refreshed. Although he wanted to collect some of these things, his life was at stake, so Keel turned around and ran away.

He didn't care about which direction, anyway, he just kept away from the angry tree behind him.

After blowing the whistle, Keel tried to call his horse to help, but the little guy was frightened, and only dared to run back and forth in the distant woods, and did not dare to rush to Keel.

"Come on! Come on!" Keel yelled, trying to run towards the horse, but more roots swept over him.

On the branch of the big tree, Worf the werewolf saw Keir being chased and attacked by the big tree, and while hugging the branch tightly, he yelled loudly: "Hit! Shoot him to death! Who told that guy to burn you! Ha ha ha ha!"

However, its joy didn't last long. First, the branch it was hugging shook quickly. After finding that the werewolf could not be shaken off the branch, other branches slowly extended over.

Although it was just some waist-thick branches, far less than the thick roots of the big tree, the big tree had more branches, and the branches near the werewolf were all grabbed at it.

This made Worf the werewolf terrified. It knows that as a werewolf, it can deal with humans who are not as big as it, but compared with these tens of meters tall moving trees, it is far inferior.

And it is no sharper than Kiel's hand. At this time, its eight finger claws were crushed and reborn by the axe. The sturdy claws used as the main attack method are only a short one centimeter long.

This sharp claw is enough for a big tree to scratch its bark, and it has no ability to fight back at all.

No way, the werewolf Worf had no choice but to jump down on the branch he was holding, avoiding other branches that surrounded him, and climbed down the trunk of the big tree with his hands and feet all the way.

The big tree didn't catch the little bug on its body, but didn't care too much, and more branches moved to the place where the werewolf had stuck Keel's ax on the trunk before.

The top of the bare branch tried to get in the gap where the ax got stuck, to get away from the strange ax that made it so uncomfortable. But the strength of the small branch was too weak, and it stretched in, but it didn't have the strength to pull Yueshuitou's two-handed ax out of the tree trunk.

The huge tree seemed to have lost its temper, and the trunk of the whole tens of meters tall tree gradually bent down, bringing its upper treetop close to the ground. Then the longest thick tree root stretched from the ground to the air.

Compared with the branches, the tree roots, which are more than twice as thick, are far more powerful. First, it made a few whip-like attacks, and then it used the roots to hit its own trunk several times.

When the tree roots shook, they made an extremely dull and terrifying sound of breaking through the air, hoo-

Snapped!

call-

Snapped!

call-

Snapped!

Hitting himself three times, the bark was splashed in a small area of ​​the trunk where the ax was stuck, and the xylem of the trunk fell from the air.

Then the tender tip of the tree root penetrated into the opening of the trunk, and rolled out a 'little' ax that was emitting a shining blue light.

The huge tree didn't seem to like this thing very much, the tip of the tree root wrapped around the axe, and threw the thing viciously in the direction of Kiel's escape.

call out-

Dashu didn't consider his own size, so the angle of throwing this time was too high. The blue ax was like a meteor returning to the sky in the opposite direction, and flew away towards the distance with a slender band of light. .

"Ah~ my axe!" Kiel wailed while running in the woods on the ground. Through the vague induction with the axe, he was 100% sure that the thing just now was his axe.

But fortunately, although the ax didn't know where it was thrown, Keel still vaguely knew where it was.

"Huh, huh, it's okay, at least I'm not afraid of losing it." He dodged the roots of the big tree and swept away.

Keel was fine with the slider dodging the sweep, but the trees around him suffered.

This sweep directly swept away a dozen or so small trees. The crackling of trees breaking was so loud that it even made Kiel's ears itchy.

"It can't go on like this." Thinking of this, Keir whistled fiercely again, trying to call the horses to help.

Just relying on a pair of human legs, it is impossible to run against the furious big tree behind. The opponent seems to be slow, but the roots of the legs and feet are too big and too long. The movement distance of a swing.

Fortunately, his horse finally plucked up the courage and swept across the roots of the big tree. Before the time for the next attack came, it turned its hooves and jumped over several fallen trees. Skimmed past Kiel.

Kiel ran in the same direction as the horse was running, and when the two intersected, Kiel jumped to the side while running, and hugged the horse's neck tightly with his hands that were free before.

He raised his right leg and crossed over the galloping horse with difficulty. Clinging to the horse's back and hugging his neck, Kiel adjusted his posture, but it seemed that the armor had caught the horse, making it uncomfortable, and the whole horse jumped vigorously while running.

"Ouch!"

Kiel was jolted hard.

He just wanted to slap his neck, but considering the urgency of the situation, he gave up.

-

After formally riding on the back of the horse, Keel pulled the mane on the horse's neck and simply controlled the direction of the horse's running.

Naturally, it is not allowed to run away randomly in a place like the forest. In the complex terrain of the forest, it is difficult for the furious tree to escape from pursuit. It is necessary to circle around with the opponent in a familiar and flat place. This kind of place has to be searched for.

And it won't be long before the sky will light up, wait until the daytime, and then give it a good look!

Keel thought fiercely.

He drew out the long sword, driving the blessing of the Church of the Sun God on the long sword to emit a bright white light.

Lights a large area in front of the horse.

Doing this is very exhausting, and after a long time, he will not be able to use the ability to blind other enemies, but there is no way, drinking poison to quench thirst can also be used.

While riding on the horse to light the way for the horse, Keel turned his head to look at the furious tree not far behind him. On the other side's trunk, the werewolf Worf tremblingly clapped his hands and feet on the thick old bark of the big tree.

It seems that the too thick bark blocked the perception, and the big tree didn't notice a 'little werewolf' hanging on its body.

Maybe Dashu didn't care.

Worf the werewolf also noticed the white light that Keel raised in front of the big tree chasing him.

"Aha! Warrior of Kiel! Hahahaha, how is my new mount?"

The werewolf yelled loudly at Kiel.

But Keir just curled his lips and ignored it.

As long as this guy hasn't lost track, just go forward like this and find an open space suitable for horses to fight, and he will give the two monsters chasing after him a good look.

With the long sword lighting, Kiel and the horses moved forward in this gentle forest at a much faster speed, bypassing the bushes, speeding up and jumping over the seasonal river washed out by the rainy season precipitation, and the overly soft fallen leaves were also entangled open.

Keir gradually distanced himself from the big tree behind him.

When the sky in one direction rose slightly with a little light, the big tree behind Kiel stopped chasing Kiel, the human who annoyed him.

Before leaving, it grabbed the little werewolf hanging on its body with a branch, then learned the lesson from the previous round, and threw the werewolf towards the humans in the distance.

Afterwards, regardless of whether it hit or not, the huge tree moved towards the interior of the forest with its roots moving slowly.

The original place can't stay anymore, the little people always like to set fire, but it doesn't like it. It decided to find a quieter place, it would be better if it could use its roots to dig into the ground and drink a clean mountain spring, or it would be better to have the energy of the earth flowing under the ground.

After all, it is still a 'small' tree.

-

Kiel paused when he heard the huge noise behind him, and immediately turned to look behind him. But he didn't expect to see a terrified werewolf face.

"What's the matter?"

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

The voices of the two sounded at the same time, one was the surprise of the human, and the other was the exclamation of the werewolf.

In this throw, Dashu learned the lesson from the last time, and did not use too much strength to avoid missing the target. This time, the force of its throw was just right, and the werewolf swung its arms and legs in the air, but it still slammed straight towards Kiel, who was riding slowly.

Boom! snap.

The werewolf's legs were in front, and he slammed into the horse under Kiel's crotch. The horse only neighed for a while, and then spun on the spot and was torn into two pieces from its hind legs.

Kiel was also violently thrown out while the horse was spinning in the air. After falling to the ground, he tore off the snow on the ground for several meters, and then slammed into a small tree heavily.

With a bang, the small tree was directly broken.

Keel just passed out.

But the werewolf was also uncomfortable. Its legs were completely broken, and the whole body was directly pierced into the horse's body. The flesh and blood splattered, and the internal organs exploded. After the werewolf head hit the spine of the horse's body, the whole werewolf was soaked in flesh In the internal organs, passed out.

Keel's brave colt, of course, died then.

It looked at the glowing long sword held tightly by its master not far away, and after a lot of blood foamed from its mouth and nose, it closed its eyes while panting.

For a moment, this place returned to silence, and the huge tree that caused everything was unknown. It has extinguished its anger, and is thinking about where to take root again~www.readwn.com~ I heard from the crows who once nested on it, a little north of the forest, there is a small river that goes deep into the forest, maybe it can Drink water and drink your fill there.

As for the delicious mountain spring, let's talk about it after a few years.

Not far from here, after leaving the forest to the south and crossing a small rolling hill, even before dawn in Dorallin Village, all the villagers in the village walked out of each house restlessly and gathered in the center of the village. On the small square.

After midnight, there were bursts of roaring noises in the forest to the north.

At first the villagers thought it was the goddess of the earth who lost her temper, but soon they found that the ground was not shaking.

Afterwards, the villagers thought it was the **** of the sky who brought down the disaster, but it seemed that the loud noise did not come from high above.

In the end, the villagers finally heard the noise coming from the forest in the north, but they couldn't see anything in the dark night, even standing on a high place. The moonlight was blocked by dark clouds, which was really bad.

Just as the villagers were guessing what happened in the northern forest, which had been safe and sound for a long time, the loud noise in the forest disappeared as dawn approached.

Old Domo looked at a group of worried villagers, and looked at each other with the same old Nia shepherd.

He kissed his hand: "No way, it's not dawn yet, I can't let the boys under me go out like this. They are not that material."

The shepherd of Nia, who was wearing a cloak sewn with the emblem of the Church of Saturn, nodded: "I know, hey. However, it would be nice if the Kiel warriors were still there at this time."

"How is that possible. That guy Kiel was fighting with the Lanessa Knight in the north and the northern land wolves. Hey, I wish him luck."

"Well, may the great Saturn bless that lad."
