Chapter 1018: Ambush!
In the middle of a dense forest, several sturdy figures were moving quickly, and from the black armor they were wearing, it could be determined that several of them were the monks of the Holy Dragon City, belonging to a standard monk team.
Of course, the average cultivation of the monk team in this kind of legion is only about four or five levels, which cannot be compared with the monk team composed of lord monks in Holy Dragon City.
But even so, the combat effectiveness of the team composed of five fourth- and fifth-level monks should not be underestimated!
Although they were not familiar with the terrain of this mountain forest, several Holy Dragon City monks were still walking on the ground, constantly moving towards the predetermined location.
The distance between this place and the snow-filled city is hundreds of miles, and the road between the two places is rugged and difficult, except for a small path that is not too wide, which weaves through the mountains.
On a normal day, this road is rarely crossed.
However, with the arrival of the Holy Dragon City and the formation of the Demon Slayer Legion by the natives, this remote and difficult road, but the closest to Snow Man City, began to become more and more lively.
Almost every day, hordes of people pass by and head towards the snowy city.
A large part of these people are followers of indigenous gods and belong to the potential enemies of the Holy Dragon City.
They did not follow the advance of the large army, but preemptively entered the snowy city, responsible for reconnaissance and intelligence, and received the arrival of the large army.
The Holy Dragon City Legion, which was responsible for blocking the enemy, naturally would not let these enemies swagger through here, so when the large army also did not arrive, the Holy Dragon City monks, who were the first to take the flying machine, immediately took corresponding actions and tried to block the enemy.
These Holy Dragon City monks came to carry out a mission.
After a few minutes of walking through the mountains and forests, a stream flowing out of the forest suddenly appeared in front of several people.
The stream in front of you is the only source of water in the vicinity, and after flowing from here, it runs parallel to the mountain road for some distance before merging into a large lake.
Travelers who pass by along the way almost always use this stream as a supplementary water source, otherwise no one can insist on walking dozens of kilometers to the next location to get water.
In this situation, destroying the enemy's drinking water source has naturally become a necessary task for the monks of the Holy Dragon City!
After looking around for a moment and making sure that there was nothing unusual around, one of the Holy Dragon City monks took out an item and threw it towards the stream.
But just as the item was about to fall into the stream, a gust of wind suddenly appeared, smashing the item directly out of the air!
Immediately afterwards, dozens of vigorous figures were rushing towards them from a distance, firmly surrounding these Holy Dragon City monks.
Looking at the speed of movement, they are all masters among the indigenous monks, and their strength is not much inferior to that of the monks of the Holy Dragon City!
Seeing this, several Holy Dragon City monks glanced at each other and immediately rushed towards the other side of the river, trying to break away from the enemy's ambush.
In the bushes next to the stream, there was a sound of branches and leaves shaking, and then I saw a strange man with a very similar appearance to a tree, but with emerald green eyes, suddenly blocked in front of the monks of the Holy Dragon City.
It waved its long branches and whipped towards the Holy Dragon City monk head-on, as fast as a green bolt of lightning.
A Holy Dragon City monk was caught off guard, and was struck by this branch, and immediately snorted in pain and took a few steps back.
"It's lord-level, be careful!"
Seeing this, the companion next to him reminded him, and the sharp sword suddenly came out of its sheath, blocking the branch that was drawn again.
The sharpness of the Holy Dragon City Monk's battle knife far exceeded the treeman monster's expectations, and after the two went wrong, the treeman monster roared in pain.
It turned out that its several meters long branches had been cut off in unison, and the dark green liquid continued to drip from the broken stubble.
"Damn, you actually hurt the servant of the gods, I will never spare you!"
The Treant Monster roared and pounced on the Holy Dragon City monk who had injured its body again, while countless emerald green branches stabbed towards the Holy Dragon City monk like spears.
"Look for death!"
In the face of the attack of the treeman monster, the monk of the Holy Dragon City was not in danger, he just snorted coldly, casually took out an item from his waist, and smashed it towards the treeman monster.
When the tree man saw something coming at him, he didn't hesitate to swing his twig, trying to pull it aside.
As soon as the branch met the object, a loud bang suddenly sounded, and a huge shockwave flew in all directions with metal fragments.
The Treant moved slowly, but it was strong enough to withstand the impact of the explosion, and the branches and leaves were blown all over the sky!
As for the monks of the Holy Dragon City, who had been prepared for a long time, they took the opportunity to hide behind the big tree to avoid being injured by the bomb.
Although the tree man monster was blown up and bruised, because of its special physique, it did not hurt the fatal point, and now it pounced again.
At this moment, the tree man monster was extremely embarrassed, dragging the broken body that kept flowing out of the green liquid, and yelled at the monks of the Holy Dragon City like crazy.
Through the few encounters just now, the monks of the Holy Dragon City have also seen that the melee attack ability of this tree monster is indeed very powerful, but it lacks the means of long-range attack.
As long as you keep a certain distance from it, even if it is a lord-level cultivator, you can grind it to death!
But at the moment, there are enemies all around, and they simply don't have enough time to slowly take out this difficult guy!
A way must be found to break out of here, or sooner or later it will fall into the hands of the indigenous monks. ”
Casually taking off the rifles hanging on their bodies, several Holy Dragon City monks immediately locked on to a direction and began to shoot continuously.
In the dense forest, there was immediately a dense burst of gunfire.
As bullets flew out, the enemies who were heading towards the Holy Dragon City monks were hit and fell to the ground one after another, and exclamations and curses continued to sound.
The indigenous monks who had never fought against the monks of the Holy Dragon City could not guess the power of the guns and weapons of the Holy Dragon City at all, so they immediately suffered a big loss as soon as they saw it!
One by one, the corpses fell in the woods, and the remaining indigenous monks who had not been attacked became frightened at this moment, hiding behind the trees, not daring to easily probe the scriptures, so as not to be blown out of their heads!
As for the mighty Treant monsters, they were also beaten by the Holy City Monks and splashed with juice, and there were broken branches and fallen leaves along the way.
Seeing that he had never been able to break through the blockade of the monks of the Holy Dragon City, this tree man monster could only roar unwillingly, and retreated into the dense forest with an unwilling face.
Relying on the powerful lethality of firearms and weapons, the monks of Holy Dragon City temporarily had a slight upper hand.
However, this situation did not last long, and soon the enemy began to launch long-range attacks, constantly throwing bows and arrows and short spears at the position of the monks of the Holy Dragon City.
The standard armor of the Holy Dragon City is made of special materials, and the defense can be described as quite excellent, but in the face of the special arrows shot by these indigenous monks, it is still possible to be injured.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a Holy Dragon City monk to be shot in the shoulder by a sharp arrow, and the enchanted arrow made of unknown materials actually shot directly through the battle armor, and then pierced deeply into the flesh.
The body of the Holy Dragon City monk who was fighting trembled, and a trace of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
