Volume 4: Rise of the Dragon: Chapter 369: The Turbulent World Forest Attack (Part II)

(I feel a lot more fantastical.) However, this is Middle-earth after all, so the battle should still be based on martial arts and spells, although this can be seen as another world of swords and sorcery ~~~~~~) ......

As a big dart bureau standing at the pinnacle of the mortal realm, Yang Wei Dart Bureau naturally has a lot of business, and the scope is wide, even those big tasks that require cultivators and mages can be accepted, not to mention tasks like escorting a middle-aged man surnamed Qin, which is not very difficult, and the task completion rate is quite high. Of course, the price is also higher than the average dart game. But for the sake of safety, many businessmen are still willing to hire a powerful and reputable dart bureau like Yang Wei.

"Since the big official is so enthusiastic, I also promise you that even if you do your best, you will protect the whole family of the big official. The so-called cannibalistic mouth is short and the hand is short, even for an intermediate dart head like He Lin, a "magic talisman" is not something that can be obtained casually, not to mention that the middle-aged man took out dozens of them at once, so after a short surprise, he immediately made a solemn promise to the middle-aged man.

"Ah Long, Ah Hu. You two protect the Qin family and don't let them be hurt in any way before they fall, understand?" He Lin turned around and beckoned to one place, and called out two burly men with iron knives in their hands, and instructed seriously.

"My subordinates understand!" Ah Long and Ah Hu solemnly agreed, and then stood in front of the middle-aged man surnamed Qin, guarding the family before and after.

"Ah Long and Ah Hu are my right-hand men, and the 'Crazy Sand Knife Technique' has been practiced to the point of releasing the sword qi, and they are also masters in the rivers and lakes, and I am relieved to have them protect you. He Lin said to the middle-aged man surnamed Qin: "You guys be careful, I always have a bad feeling when I look around." After saying that, he picked up the ring knife and secretly carried the light gong towards the woods on one side, and as he walked, he used the knife to dial in the grass and bushes in front of him, very cautiously. The other runners around also divided into a few people to cooperate and searched several wooded places, and the rest of the people lined up around the convoy to form a complete formation to guard the convoy.

Looking at the cautious appearance of the others, the middle-aged man surnamed Qin felt a lot more relieved in his heart, and not only wiped a handful of sweat. If it weren't for the fact that this batch of escorted goods was more valuable. He will not be reluctant to let Yang Wei make a move. Because although the "magic talisman" is widely spread, the real materials for making zuò have been in the hands of the imperial court and those cultivators, and other ordinary people know that many materials can be exchanged for huàn "magic talismans", but they don't know which ones are the materials that can really make zuò "magic talismans".

Therefore, after he accidentally learned about some types of materials for making zuò "magic talismans", he spent a lot of money to receive a batch, in order to make his batch of goods more valuable when trading with Daming Temple in the future, so that it is easier to get the favor of Daming Temple in addition to making a lot of money. (The "magic talisman" is always in short supply, so its materials are also more favored by the Xiuzhen sect and the imperial court.) He has pressed almost all of his wealth on this, and he must not afford to lose; this is an adventure, and if he succeeds, he will reach the sky, and if he fails, he will be in the abyss. Because he attached too much importance to the gains and losses of this time, he couldn't help but think of the consequences of various successes and failures in his mind, and he was stunned for a while.

While he was thinking wildly, he heard a sudden cry from one of the executioners, "Demons, it's the Tree Demon and the Bush Demon, be careful of the trees and bushes around you!" the executioner shouted, slashing at a man-thick tree beside him, and then swung a cloud of swords. Shrouded in a bush around him.

The strange thing happened, and I saw that the big tree that he cut down actually shook violently, and immediately a thick layer of dark green wooden armor appeared, blocking the attacking knife. The attack, which would have been enough to cut a normal tree in two, only broke through the surface of the wooden armor, and the bark cracked, leaving a dark red liquid that seemed to smell like blood, and it quickly healed. The next moment the crown of the tree suddenly stretched out seven or eight long branches with tiny thorns and drew towards the runner, and at the same time several branches of the trunk were activated into ugly claws that were grabbing at the runner. At the bottom of the tree trunk, an ugly face appeared at the same height as a person, and the facial features could be vaguely discerned, and the "woo" cry came out of the mouth, and the eyes flashed with evil light.

What was an ordinary tree turned into a terrifying monster in an instant!

Tree Demon: Originally an ordinary human tree, due to being polluted by the power of the demon world leaking into the human world, and absorbing the filthy qi of the ground, it mutated into an active tree, which can prey on a creature, omnivorous, and when it can't hunt, it will also absorb the aura of heaven and earth and demonic energy to grow. The vitality is extremely strong, as long as the rhizome does not die, even if most of the body is destroyed, it can absorb aura and nutrients and regenerate. The skill is that after activation, the hard, powerful branches and the tough, flexible cane can tear and grasp the prey, and then pierce the prey with the fleshy thorns of the branches. Absorb flesh and blood. The weakness is that the fear of fire can be purified by the power of the Yang attribute.

When the tree demon attacked, a black shadow also burst out from the bushes shrouded by the sword light, and the knife light slashed at the black shadow's body, and the golden iron sound sounded, "Whew!" A strange wolf howl sounded, the black shadow broke through the knife light and landed in one place, it was actually a strange creature with a body half a human height, brown fur like a wolf. From its red eyes that shimmered with bloodlust and rage, it was clear that the creature was anything but a docile herbivore. The sharp knife slashed at its body, leaving only a shallow wound, and it had begun to close and heal, showing its extraordinary defense and vitality.

Wolf Demon: A carnivorous beast in the Demon Forest, the demon is fast, fierce, bloodthirsty, cunning, and can't spell, but it has a strong latent ability, can hide in the shadows and shrubs, and is an excellent predator, and even more dangerous, they live in groups!

Hear the executioner's reminder. Seeing the appearance of the Tree Demon and the Bush Wolf Demon, He Lin's face changed, as if he had seen something terrible, and immediately shouted loudly: "Don't fall in love with war, gather your weapons, take your internal force, circulate your whole body, activate the 'Demon Talisman', let's leave this forest quickly!" Although some of the young executioners didn't understand why the dart head was so panicked. But He Lin had a high prestige among them, so although he was puzzled, he also listened to him.

At his shout, those who had gone to search around also immediately returned, and everyone immediately shrunk, and one by one the team took out the "magic talisman", activated it with its own blood, and then attached it to the body. After the "Magic Talisman" was activated, a burst of soft white light was released from the whole body, which integrated into the user's body, making them suddenly feel that their whole body was full of strength. With the help of the "Charm Talisman", everyone opened the way, and the cart of the cart of the open road ran towards the front.

He Lin tried his best to keep his composure while organizing the team, but he couldn't help but panic in his heart: "It's actually two difficult guys, the Tree Demon and the Wolf Demon! Damn, this is the closest forest to the town! Doesn't it mean that there will be a forest ranger team to clean it up every month? Those derelict guys have worse eyes than pigs, and there is such a big negligence." He thought with hatred in his heart.

"It's just a tree demon, after all, except for the towns where mages and immortal masters are located, there are also purification formations to purify the environment, and the rest of the wilderness has long been polluted by the aura full of demonic energy, as long as there are trees, mutated creatures like tree demons will continue to appear and cannot be eradicated; He Lin couldn't help but doubt his luck a little. It's no wonder that except for the magical beasts that happened to come through space, it was not enough to explain why there were dangerous monsters like the Wolf Monster in this kind of forest that was often cleared by human masters.

As a well-known dangerous monster, the various materials of the wolf demon have long been announced by the "Demon Hunting Union" organized by the imperial court, and ten or more wolf demons can form a delicate cooperation, which is no longer something that mortal martial arts masters can deal with. Except for those martial artists who have comprehended the innate realm and the power of their moves has been greatly improved, only those cultivators and mages can kill these cunning monsters with spells and magic weapons. In a word, the hordes of trub wolves are no longer something that their small team can fight. The wolf demon failed to strike, and did not immediately attack again, but raised his head and let out a high-pitched wolf howl, as if in response to its cry, a relay-like wolf howl sounded in the wide forest, and then there was a "rustling" sound of branches and leaves rubbing around, as if a large group of creatures rushed here.

"Oh no, it's summoning companions!" He Lin was experienced, and the horse recognized the actions of the Bush Wolf Demon, but he had no time to stop it, listening to the faint movement in the woods, he knew that it estimated the worst situation, there were indeed groups of Bush Wolf Demons here, it was too dangerous, and the horse had to leave!

"Who knows how many of its kind are in this forest, if they summon a large group of companions, plus an unknown number of tree demons to harass and watch, then ~~~~~~" He Lin didn't dare to think about it anymore, he just wanted to take the horse and people out of here before the other wolf demons arrived. Although human beings have hatred for demons, even if they take revenge, they must have the name of self-knowledge - they can't do it at the moment of death, not to mention that he still has the task of a bodyguard, so safety is naturally the priority.

Under the tension, the team walked quickly, and the slow-moving dryads could not stop the team's progress at all. "Well, we're close to the exit of the forest, and we're less than a kilometre away from the forest. If nothing else, you can walk for another quarter of an hour to leave the forest. Bunkerwolves are forest monsters that rarely leave the forest to hunt, and outside the forest, there is a good chance that they will encounter rangers and patrols from nearby towns, but they are all elite teams of experts, whose mission is to clear the town of threats. Leaving the forest is equivalent to getting out of danger!" He Lin looked at the increasingly sparse trees on the side of the road, and his heart was full of joy for escaping. The rest of the dart team had also been informed of the danger just now, and now they couldn't help cheering when they saw that escape was in sight.

Unfortunately, their good luck seemed to have run out, and just as the exit was faintly visible in front of them and everyone was rejoicing, several wolf demons suddenly rushed out of the woods on both sides of the front, blocking their way to the hungry people. In the face of the interceptor, the team couldn't help but be stunned. Almost at the same time, there was a sound of scurrying on both sides and behind them, and more than a dozen drub wolf demons rushed out of the woods one after another, surrounding them from three other directions.

He Lin's scalp is a little numb, one, two, three, four, five~~~, sixteen, seventeen! God, there are seventeen wolf demons! Such a right wolf demon is enough to wipe out their team ten times! "Is there any mistake, we are too 'optimistic' of us, we can't afford this 'enthusiasm'." In addition to being "flattered", he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He Lin is worthy of being a person who has the ability to serve as the intermediate dart head of the "Yang Wei Dart Game", and in the face of this desperate situation, he calmed down after great fear and despair. "Since it has reached such a point, let's simply fight a handful of hateful demons and want to eat us, we also want to see if you have this good tooth!" He Lin was determined in his heart, even if the whole army was wiped out, he would not let these monsters have a good time.

Fortunately, the monster is very cunning, in other words, it is very cautious, they do not directly hug when hunting, but like wolves, especially when encountering powerful prey, they will take into account their own casualties, first surround the prey, patiently use siege, ambush, sneak attack, etc., to consume the power of the prey, and finally when the prey is exhausted, they will attack with all their might, and succeed in one fell swoop. This habit is indeed terrifying, unless you have absolute strength, it is really very difficult to get out. However, at some point, this habit of the wolf demon will also become the hope of the prey.

The current trub wolf demons have formed a seemingly loose but tight encirclement according to their habits, surrounding everyone in the middle of it, constantly roaring intimidatingly, making threatening actions, while bringing mental pressure to everyone, looking for flaws at any time for a year, ready to take advantage of the weakness.

"But it's not hopeless, it's almost out of the forest, maybe someone will pass by, if there is a distress signal, it is likely to be seen by people passing by and call for reinforcements. And as long as they don't provoke the wolf demons to the point of madness, they won't attack with all their might, we can delay for a while, and there is more hope for the arrival of reinforcements!" He Lin's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but think, "What's more important is to protect the safety of the cargo owner no matter what, before we die, the reputation of Yang Wei's dart bureau can't be ruined in our hands!"

After looking at the middle-aged man surnamed Qin's family who was trembling and hugging together with fright, He Lin first shook his hand to the sky, and a fire burst out from his cuffs, and the fire rushed into the sky like an arrow, and finally exploded in the sky, forming a huge spherical firework, which lasted for a long time and could be seen by people within a radius of fifty miles. In the midst of the disaster, humans pay more attention to unity, and this special help-seeking fireworks are also popular, if someone encounters danger in the wild, as long as the distress fireworks are released, they will be seen by the people around them, and it is easier to get help. Of course, it is also easy to attract the attention of some sensitive monsters, so this is a double-edged sword, and ordinary people will not use it. However, He Lin, their location belongs to the periphery of the town, and there are not many monsters that threaten them, but they are in the sphere of influence of human beings, and they are in a desperate situation, so they will naturally not let go of this life-saving straw.

After releasing the fireworks, He Lin fed the internal force into the ring knife, and with the entry of the internal force, the ring knife let out a light sound, and the blade shook slightly, and several talismans flashed in turn, and a circle of orange-yellow light was released on the periphery. "Dao Gang" is an internal force cultivated to an extremely high level, and the Dao Qi condenses and evolves into Gang Qi, which is powerful enough to sharpen iron like mud and break gold and crack stones; He Lin is really extraordinary as a dart head!

He looked around at the people around him and shouted: "Brothers, these brutes don't seem to want to let us go, then we don't have to be polite to them, cheer me up, and if you dare to come, you will beat me back! Don't fall for the prestige of our Yang Wei Dart Bureau! Help, the fireworks have been released, and the reinforcements and horses will arrive, everyone can protect their employers and defend carefully, do you hear it!"

"I know what it is!" "I'm provincial!" "The boss is wise!" everyone agreed, and they all mentioned their skills one by one, forming a formation with both offense and defense, and confronted the surrounding wolf demons......

In a deserted pavilion about ten miles away from Yang Wei's team, a young monk in his twenties, with strong bodies and big eyes, was sitting opposite a young man in hunting clothes, holding a folding fan, and drinking tea. Suddenly, the young man frowned, put down his teacup, looked in the direction of the fireworks in the sky, and frowned: "It's actually a firework for help, is it a team that has encountered a demon?"

"Since I've met it, let's go and see it, I happen to have itchy hands lately, and I really want to move my muscles and bones," the sturdy monk smiled.
