Chapter 2336 Vampire Root System

The dark clouds that had accumulated in the sky for a long time were finally torn apart by lightning, accompanied by rolling thunder and heavy rain.

The enchanted plants attacking the deep forest valley are retreating.

Hundreds of blood-sucking tree roots were almost wiped out, and only less than ten of the fifty hanging trees fled the battlefield. On the way to retreat, they were unfortunately intercepted by the follow-up reinforcements and had to face "Hanging Overseer" Thad's furious punishment.

The lightning that exploded continuously in the air seemed to cast bright red reflections on the water-logged ground.

A strange black tree with a height of one hundred feet, without a single leaf on its bare branches, blood-red resin oozes from the split veins on the trunk, solidifies into amber-like crystals, adding a layer of armor to the bark.

This tall strange tree has the characteristics of both giants and insects. The branches on both sides of the trunk are like thick arms, and the swollen roots extend eight legs made of twisted roots. It looks like a treant growing on the ground. On the back of a giant spider.

The special body structure endows the "Hanged Overseer" Sade with a much more sensitive skill than it looks, and can even climb freely on smooth cliffs like a spider.

Like the "hanging tree" and "blood-sucking tree root", Sade's vitality also comes from the "Gantias Demon Tree", but it obtains much more power than those low-level demonized plants, and it is controlled by its owner— — Doran Trexis "The Woodbreaker" infused with lightning energy.

In the torrential rain, the hangman overseer angrily waved his branches and lashed the waterlogged ground. The scarlet current was conducted in the water, ruthlessly whipping the retreating hangman tree.

This is the punishment for desertion.

Although not fatal, it is enough to make them remember their lesson and realize that the consequences of failure will be more terrible than death in battle.

The tree trunks were crackled by electric arcs, and the deserters who were punished wailed and begged for mercy, interweaving into a cruel movement in the thunderstorm, which made the sadistic hanging warden feel happy, and his furious emotions gradually calmed down.

The Hanged Overseer looked up at the pass leading to the deep forest valley, the humanoid face growing in the center of the trunk twitched slightly, and there was confusion in his eyes.

This morning, it used only half of its troops to successfully conquer the riverside position. At that time, apart from Shrek and Fiona, and perhaps the poet who played the lute, there was no other opponent in the ogre clan that could impress him deeply.

Judging from the situation of the battle in the morning, it should be enough to send half of the troops to attack the Deep Forest Valley, but the result was greatly unexpected. Not only was the attack frustrated, but also suffered an unprecedented fiasco!

Of the 50 hanging trees sent to attack the deep forest valley, only 9 escaped back. What shocked Sade even more was that none of the hundreds of blood-sucking tree roots that cooperated with the hanging tree could escape the deep forest valley alive.

What exactly is going on?

The Hanging Overseer became more and more uneasy as he thought about it.

The blood-sucking tree roots played a key role in the attack on the riverside position this morning.

Why did the same tactics fail to work on another battlefield in the same afternoon, so that the entire army was wiped out?

The Hanged Overseer couldn't figure out how the ogre family would wipe out the blood-sucking tree roots hidden deep in the ground.

Those hanged trees that escaped, I hope the gods have mercy on their stupidity, could not provide a logical answer, but only reported that in addition to the ogre, there were four human spellcasters in the valley, all of which were very powerful.

Putting aside his misgivings for a moment, the Hanged Overseer turned to survey his troops.

At present, it still has nearly 60 hanging trees and hundreds of blood-sucking tree roots under its command.

Since the enemy was able to kill all the blood-sucking roots sent to attack the deep forest valley in just two or three hours, Thad had to worry that the opponent would continue to use the same tactics to deal with the rest of the blood-sucking roots under his command.

Although the blood-sucking tree roots are only low-level servants in its eyes, they cannot be used as cannon fodder at will. Otherwise, even if it captures the deep forest valley and wipes out the ogre clan, it will discredit it and even affect the expedition to Algonquin. Valley's battle plan.

Out of prudence, the Hanged Overseer decided to change his tactics and sent instructions to the vampire roots through telepathy, asking them to divide into two groups and combine with each other to form a "cluster" form.

In response to the command of the commander, the roots of the blood-sucking tree drilled out of the ground one after another, stretched out their roots, and twisted each other, like ant colonies, forming two dark red hills full of roots.

These blood-sucking tree roots all have a common "matrix", which is the "Gantias Demon Tree".

At this moment, they fuse the roots transplanted from the "Gantias Demon Tree", share life and magic power, and reconstruct them into a whole, which is the form of "supernatural plant cluster".

Compared with a single "blood-sucking tree root", the "blood-sucking root system" in the form of a cluster has not only increased in size by 50 times, but also has a substantial increase in various attributes.

The Hanged Overseer shook the crown of the tree in satisfaction, and ordered two groups of "blood-sucking roots" to clear the way ahead, followed by the Hanged Tree Troops, marching towards the deep forest valley pass in the rain.

...

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the thin bee wings were wet. Joan had no choice but to change from the beeman form back to the human form, and landed on a hill, holding the "Branch of Irminsur", staring at the misty and rainy world. Canyon pass.

Just now, the "Branch of Irmin Sur" detected that the main force of the Hanged Overseer was moving towards the valley entrance. What is strange is that there are two groups of "plant clusters" that have not been detected before in this team, which are caused by a large number of blood-sucking Tree roots composition.

This discovery surprised Joan deeply.

He has been researching "supernatural biological clusters" for many years. Needless to say, common insect clusters and animal clusters, he has dabbled in even rarer plant clusters, and he has successfully cultivated "Magic Palace Rose Clusters" .

In Joan's perception, species that can form "clusters" are usually not too large, such as bee colonies and ant colonies, as well as "moonlight mouse colonies", where the individuals in the clusters are very small.

The same is true for plant clusters. A single "Magic Palace Rose" is less than two feet tall, which is similar to ordinary roses.

The only exception may be human society, but whether "crowd" can be regarded as a type of cluster is probably still a question mark.

Human beings can live in groups, mainly due to the consensus based on human imagination such as laws and regulations, moral ethics, political and religious beliefs, etc. Qiao An has not discovered that there is a "brood nest" in human society that is higher than all individual wills. will".

However, what he saw in front of him refreshed Joan's concept.
