Chapter 357: Forest Tragedy
Boom!
At this time, a deafening roar sounded, and the forest in the distance shook. The two children of the forest standing by the lake were startled at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound.
"What's going on? What happened?"
At the same time, in the surrounding woods, the few survivors of the children of the forest tribe all appeared by the lake. They were like a group of frightened birds, looking at the distance of the forest with fear.
"Could it be those outsiders again?"
Savi's face was solemn, and she murmured, "It shouldn't be? The outsiders just occupied the Messer Forest. How could they start a war again so soon?"
Shala!
In front of them, the trees suddenly shook, and a tall figure, like a tree, staggered out. It seemed that she had used up all her strength to get close to the lake, and she fell to the ground weakly.
"It's Sister Sari!"
"Sari, what's wrong with you?" Savi's face changed, and she hurried over to help Sari, the child of the forest in the form of a tree demon, and healed her with the natural power in her body.
As a burst of green light emanated, Sari in the form of a tree demon gradually returned to her girlish form.
"It's those evil outsiders!" Sari stood up with the help of her companions. Her face was extremely weak, and she whispered, "The Wizard King and his minions are attacking the Raqir Forest."
"They have a powerful artillery vehicle that has completely destroyed the outer perimeter of the Raqir Forest!"
"What!?" Savi's face changed, and a trace of haze surged in her heart. Her eyes were solemn and she said, "How could this be? Could it be that even the protective shield left by my mother could not resist the footsteps of those outsiders?"
"What should I do?" Savi murmured to herself, and a trace of powerlessness emerged in her heart.
The children of the forest gathered by the lake all lowered their heads with gloomy faces. Fear spread among them. The roar of artillery fire outside the forest was like a giant hammer hitting their hearts.
"Now if we want to resist the invasion of outsiders, we have only one way to go, which is to wake up our mother!"
Suddenly, Saranda raised her head, bit her lips lightly, looked around and said, "Sisters, now is the time for the survival of the children of the forest. Our only chance is to wake up our mother!"
"Wake up our mother?"
Sawei hesitated and said, "But. What should we do? Since thirty years ago, our mother has been in a sleeping state after being severely injured by the disaster beast Ochino and the wizard king. Even Savindolin can't wake her up. What can we do?"
Salanda took a deep breath and said with a firm look in his eyes, "My mother fell into a sleeping state because she was infected by the breath of the disaster beast. Only by absorbing enough natural power can we have a chance to wake her up!"
"What do you mean?" As if she thought of something, Sawei's face changed and she took a breath.
"That's right! Contribute all the natural energy in our bodies to Mother!" Saranda bit her lip, her face firm, "Only in this way can we have a chance to awaken Mother and rely on her power to resist the evil outsiders!"
"But if we give the natural energy in our bodies to Mother, we will also lose our lives." At this time, a weak voice of a son of the forest came from the side.
"Yes, natural energy represents the vitality of the sons of the forest."
Saranda nodded, looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice: "The sons of the forest who have lost all their natural energy will only die in the end! But this is our only chance!"
"If the evil outsiders destroy the Raqir Forest, the sons of the forest will lose their last territory."
"At that time, we still can't escape the fate of death, so seizing the last chance is our only choice. If everyone agrees to this plan, I will be the first to contribute myself to awakening Mother!"
Saranda's tone was calm, but there was a hint of determination in his eyes.
The silence at the lakeside did not last long. Supported by her companions, the weak Sare whispered, "I agree with Saranda's plan. She is the new forest king chosen by Sister Savindolyn, so every child of the forest has the obligation to follow Saranda's orders."
"If this method can wake up my mother, I am willing to be the first sacrifice!"
After Sare spoke, the other children of the forest around her also began to whisper, and then the other children of the forest nodded one after another, indicating that they were willing to obey the orders of Saranda, the king of the forest.
"Whether the plan succeeds or not, at least we can't just sit there and wait for death."
Sawei exhaled lightly and nodded, "I will also join this plan. We will use our lives to wake up the sleeping mother, hoping that it can expel all the evil outsiders!"
"No, sister Sawei, you can't participate in this plan."
At this time, Saranda shook her head and said, "The Wizard King and his minions have broken through the outer defense line of the Raqir Forest. I need you to lead some of the tribesmen to stop them as much as possible and buy us some time!"
"But." Sawei raised her head, her face a little hesitant.
"If sister Sawei recognizes my identity as the king of the forest, please execute the order!" Saranda interrupted Sawei, and then swept his eyes over several children of the forest, and said in a deep voice, "Please ask a few sisters to go to the outer perimeter of the Raqir Forest with Sawei and delay the attack of the Wizard King as much as possible!"
"The plan to wake up the mother will be completed by the remaining tribesmen!"
"As you command, King of the Forest!" Several sons of the forest saluted Saranda in a unique way to express their respect for the King of the Forest. Then they turned around and rushed towards the outskirts of the Raqir Forest resolutely.
"Goodbye, Saranda!"
An expression of reluctance appeared on Savi's face. She bit her lip, took a deep breath, and rushed towards the outskirts of the forest. A team of more than a dozen children of the forest shouldered the important task of holding back the Wizard King.
"Next, it's our turn!"
Then, Saranda turned around, and with the remaining children of the forest, they set their sights on the lake ahead. Everyone had a determined expression on their faces, and they all trembled their lips and whispered spells.
Wow!
Below the huge lake, the light blue water gradually surged, as if forming a giant vortex. Under the guidance of the natural energy of the Son of the Forest, a giant tree like a mountain slowly emerged from the water.
The source of all things, the Tree of Aqila!
Rakir Forest, outer area.
Tall trees were destroyed in pieces, and there were traces of craters everywhere. As the vanguard, the Extraordinary Knights Corps continued to march deeper into the forest, and behind it, they were dragging mobile artillery carts.
Boom!
As the ground trembled slightly, the giant scorpion beast appeared behind. Froslai stood on the back of the giant scorpion, looking at the forest destroyed by the artillery truck in front of him, and nodded slightly.
"Although using a magic fire cannon requires a large amount of magic stones, this thing is really useful for expeditionary warfare!"
Below, Wizard Mitchell was riding a silver-white magic horse with a single horn. He glanced at the mobile cannon cart next to him controlled by the wizards and said with a chuckle.
"This expedition has lasted for so long, and it's almost time to end."
On the back of the giant scorpion disaster beast, Froslai nodded slightly and murmured, "I can feel the breath of the Aqila Tree, hidden deep in this forest, and the remaining children of the forest."
"As long as we can destroy the Tree of Eqira, the Children of the Forest will lose their roots, and the world will completely fall under our control!"
"Mitchell, give the order, let the extraordinary knights speed up, and don't be stingy with using magic fire cannons. If you can successfully capture this forest, no matter how many magic stones you pay, it will be worth it."
Wizard Mitchell nodded and conveyed Froslai's order.
The Extraordinary Knight Legion accelerated their advance, and the wizards who controlled the magic fire cannon carts once again released magic energy cannonballs, destroying the surrounding forests.
"Evil outsiders, you are not allowed to destroy the forest!"
At this time, a green light suddenly appeared in front, and vines emerged from the ground in vain, waving them fiercely like long whips, hitting the extraordinary knight army.
Boom!
A vine wrapped around a magic fire cannon truck and violently threw it up. As the operator, the wizard quickly jumped off the operating table and let the magic fire cannon truck hit the ground.
The metal magic fire cannon truck was not damaged at all when it hit the ground.
Ahead, more than a dozen children of the forest appeared. Relying on the thin natural power in their bodies, they jointly controlled the growth of plants and formed a tree barrier in place, blocking the advancement of the expeditionary force.
"So many children of the forest?"
In the expeditionary force, when several white-robed wizards saw the Son of the Forest, instead of panicking, they all showed expressions of surprise, with a hint of greed and cruelty in their eyes.
The expedition to the world of Akila has reached its final stage, and the current situation is no longer what it used to be.
Now, for formal wizards, any wizard will not feel fear when encountering a son of the forest at the second-order life form level. Instead, he will be like a hungry wolf seeing fat meat, wishing to drive others away to enjoy it alone.
The reason is very simple. As the aura of the disaster beast spreads, the children of the forest have already fallen into weakness.
Every son of the forest means great achievements and great wealth to the wizard, so when more than a dozen children of the forest appeared in front of them, the wizards of the expeditionary force rushed forward.
"Elemental bombardment!"
As a white-robed wizard waved his wand, the elemental particles in the air vibrated violently, forming a wave of energy almost instantly and bombarding the tree barrier ahead.
boom! boom! !
At the same time, the wizards behind the magic artillery carts also fired shells one after another. The violent explosions caused huge holes in the tree barriers, and the children of the forest were immediately defeated.
"Sisters, everyone must hold on!"
Savi, the tall son of the forest, gritted his teeth to steady his body, and relied on the little energy left in his body to forcibly change into the form of a tree demon. He said in a hoarse voice: "As long as we can delay enough time, Mother will definitely be awakened!"
On the giant scorpion beast's carapace, Froslai frowned slightly.
"The Sons of the Forest plan to awaken the Tree of Aqila?" He stroked his chin, his eyes flashed with thought, and murmured, "I'm afraid this is difficult to do. The breath of disaster beasts continues to erode the world. As the guardian of the rules, Ai The Qila Tree will only become weaker and weaker."
"Maybe it's the self-comfort of these children of the forest?" Mitchell chuckled.
"No matter what, let's end everything as soon as possible." Froslai shook his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a wand appeared in his hand, pointing forward to release a burst of dark matter energy.
brush!
The black energy full of negative aura, after touching the tree barrier, corrodes the surrounding area in an instant, and continues to spread, swallowing up the entire tree barrier in a moment.
The faces of the children of the forest changed, and they could not help but step back slightly.
The fear brought to them by the wizard king was an indelible shadow. The children of the forest, who originally belonged to the world rulers, were now extremely weak. They alone could not stop the expeditionary army from advancing.
"I will never let you enter the depths of the forest!"
At this time, Savi, in the form of a tree demon, suddenly roared, and her tall figure rushed forward, waving vines and charging frantically, aiming at the giant scorpion disaster beast behind the expeditionary army.
"Come straight to me?" Frosley felt a little funny and shook his head.
The behavior of the tree demon Savi was obviously for a decapitation operation. Although it seemed a bit overconfident, it was the best way to arouse the courage of other children of the forest.
On the shell of the giant scorpion disaster beast, Frosley sighed faintly.
Looking at the tree demon Savi, who rushed to a nearby place through a group of wizards, he gently raised his wand, and a dark light ball was thrown out, covering the body of the tree demon like a black mist.
The tree demon Savi, who was swallowed by the dark light ball, suddenly lost control of her body.
"It is a bit foolish to face the strong with weakness, but the courage is commendable." Frosley shook his head and sighed, and then gently paused the wand, causing the giant scorpion disaster beast's shell to make a slight sound.
The next moment, the giant scorpion disaster beast raised its head.
Its dark eyes were motionless, staring at the tree demon in front of it quietly, and a black mist suddenly emerged from its body, attacking the tree demon Savi like a cloud, and instantly swallowed her in it.
"Ah!!!" A shrill wail came from Savi's mouth.
Savi, in the form of a tree demon, quickly regained her human form under the engulfment of the black mist, and as the aura of the disaster beast continued to infect her, her body gradually underwent tremendous changes.
The originally green hair turned black and continued to grow.
At the same time, Savi's emerald green eyes were gradually swallowed by pure black, and a strange and evil aura began to emanate from her body, completely losing the natural aura of the child of the forest.
"Is this the power of the disaster beast?"
After a while, under the erosion of the aura of the disaster beast, Savi, the child of the forest, had completely transformed into a fallen spirit. There was no sadness on her face, but a hint of madness. She laughed excitedly, "This is really a wonderful taste!"
