Chapter 33: War Treants

They had suffered this loss yesterday. Every time the black elves rushed out of the forest, there were only seventeen of them.

Thus, they all believed that there were at most seventeen black elves.

However, there were too many setbacks yesterday, so every time they entered a new map, Seuss would always go and scout ahead.

In this forest, there would always be two black elves. Fortunately, as long as there were not many black elves, they were easy to deal with.

In the end, the two black elves did not cause them much damage. They only used up some of their supplies.

However, it was different today. Perhaps it was because the dungeon had gone too smoothly today, causing Daydreamer and the others to lower their guard.

.

“There are still black elves in the forest?” Sirius heard Seuss’s words and immediately retreated. Although she was not violently abused by the black elves this time, Sirius had seen how miserable Madman had been, being stunned on the spot for dozens of minutes from the beginning to the end.

“Of course.” Seuss came to stand beside the forest and pointed to the heart of the forest. “The task of these black elves is to guard the Twisted Tree Spirit that has been sealed, so there is absolutely no way they will come out in full force.”

“After defeating the evil demons, the former dragon-slaying warriors gradually became crazy,” Heart of Holy Light said with a serious expression. “These are the remnants of the soldiers after the demon war ended.”

Madman jumped around at the side, moving his already stiff body. Having been in a stunned state for a long time, Madman felt like his body didn’t belong to him anymore.

“What is the demon war? Why don’t I understand what you’re saying?” Madman walked over with his shield. He felt that he could understand what they were talking about when the information was separated, but when the information was connected, he couldn’t understand anything.

“The so-called demon war was after the war with the dragons. Because of the unprecedented slaughter and hatred, a large number of demons were attracted. Those demons invaded Atlanta. This is the demon war,” Daydreamer explained.

“Oh.” Madman nodded and asked, “What does the demon war have to do with this dungeon?”

“Of course it has something to do with it!” Seuss smiled and said, “After the demon war ended, many brave warriors were infected by the evil demons and could not suppress their inner feelings. In the end, they could only choose to seal themselves. The Twisted Tree Spirit, which is the BOSS of this dungeon, was one of them.”

At this point, Madman finally understood what they were talking about. The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became silent.

After a long silence, Daydreamer hesitantly asked, “Does this mean that the Twisted Tree Spirit is unable to suppress its inner thoughts and will inevitably become a demon?”

“That’s right, but the Twisted Tree Spirit should not be completely corrupted. If it is completely corrupted now, it is impossible for anyone to complete this dungeon at this stage,” Seuss said solemnly.

“Also, if the Twisted Tree Spirit is completely corrupted, his name should become the Fallen Treant Overlord. Just like before it was corrupted, his name should be the Treant Overlord.”

With that said, Seuss drank a bottle of Haste Potion, turned his head, and rushed into the forest, luring the two black elves out.

Under the siege of everyone, two black elves were no threat.

For monsters like the black elves, if their numbers were small, they would not have such a terrifying deterrent force. At most, they could stun a person for a few seconds, and their attack power would not be enough. Against Seuss and the rest, it was like scratching an itch.

They followed the trail the Seuss had scouted and went into the forest. Seuss and the others kept vigilant at all times.

The name of this dungeon was Twisted Forest and the BOSS was the Twisted Tree Spirit. This proved that this dungeon was definitely not as simple as it looked.

If it was just the treant outer perimeter, this dungeon could not be considered an expert level one.

After what had just happened, Daydreamer was finally starting to get nervous. For some reason, this expert-level dungeon, under Seuss’s lead, gave him a feeling of leveling up in the wild.

There was even the possibility of encountering people fighting for monsters while leveling in the wild. In this dungeon, it was even easier than leveling in the wild.

However, this was an expert-level dungeon, so how could there be no threat? It was just that Seuss had prepared countermeasures in advance that made them feel this way.

After entering the forest, everyone’s hearts were in their throats as they carefully observed their surroundings, afraid that a group of monsters would suddenly emerge from their surroundings.

“Alright.” Seuss stopped in his tracks. In front of him were six enormous trees. Each tree was at least ten meters tall, but that was not the main point. The main point was that these trees were extremely thick. The thickest ones were even more than three meters in diameter.

“Those six trees are all war treants. As long as we get rid of them, we will be able to see the BOSS.” Pointing at the six trees in front, Seuss looked at Sirius and said, “Later, Madman will draw those six trees together. Use the Fire Rain Scroll to ignite them and kill them all at once.”

The treants’ resistance to corruption seemed to be much higher than that of the black elves. The black elves in the outer circle were slightly corrupted, but the war treants in the inner circle did not have any signs of corruption.

Yesterday, they had been wiped out several times by the treants here. It was not because of any other reason, but because these treants were too powerful.

The war treants were immune to half of the physical damage. At the same time, it was difficult for magic damage to deal any fatal damage to the treants.

Only fire magic could deal heavy damage to the treants, but there was a lot of water stored in the war treants’ bodies that could extinguish the flames quickly.

It was precisely because of this that they could only adopt the same strategy they had used in the outer circle yesterday, luring the war treants away and killing them one by one.

These war treants would also attract their companions, making it extremely difficult for them to face these treants yesterday.

But today, Seuss had thought of a strategy: Fire Rain.

Fire Rain was a spell that mages could learn after changing their jobs. It was an area of effect attack. Although it did not have enough damage in a short period of time, there was one thing that other spells could not compare to this, and that was its duration.

As long as one had sufficient mana, the Fire Rain spell could be maintained forever, even if it was released using scrolls.

“No problem. Watch me when the time comes!” Sirius agreed immediately. It was just maintaining a spell, and it was not difficult.

“Madman, you’ll be in charge of blocking these treants later. Don’t use the Steel Elixir for now.” Seuss patted Madman’s shoulder.

Madman grinned. “Don’t worry. Unless they kill me, none of these monsters will get through.”

Looking at Daydreamer, Seuss was about to say something when Daydreamer said, “Treat Madman with all your might. I understand.”

Seuss smiled slightly. The battle sense of Daydreamer was quite good. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been the party leader all this time.

“Heart of Holy Light, I need you to support Madman. When Madman can’t hold on anymore, no matter what, you have to go up and buy time for Madman to recover.” Seuss stood in front of Heart of Holy Light and looked into his eyes.

“I will definitely be killed, but if you want, I will do it,” Heart of the Holy Light said with a sorrowful expression.

“In that case, let the battle begin!”
