Chapter 56 Coal Ball Suicide Squad
After eating the food,
Get closer to the red dot,
The closer he got, the small red dots that had gathered in his field of vision gradually divided into countless small red dots. Since the distance was still relatively far away, Horn still couldn't tell what those scattered small red dots were.
After walking for a long time,
The blurred red dot gradually became clear,
Horn could clearly see the specific appearance of the red dot in the distance, "What is this?"
Something completely beyond comprehension,
There is a huge sumac tree in the distance, or a tree that looks like a sumac tree. The biggest difference from the sumac tree is that the giant tree does not secrete pitch black tar.
The giant tree is at least tens of thousands of meters tall. It has charred leaves, charred branches, and charred branches. Even the roots exposed on the ground are pitch black. It is a towering giant tree that is completely dyed black.
The so-called red dots are the small flowers blooming at the ends of the big branches.
The intersection of black and red colors makes the red flowers particularly noticeable.
If it was just like this, it wouldn't be enough to surprise Horn. After all, no matter how the colors change, it is still just a tree. Horn was also hatched in the forest back then, and he had never seen any big tree.
However, the most distinctive thing about this towering tree standing on the tar land is that there is a mouth in the sky above the tree crown.
The void cracked, with blood-red lips on the edges. Opening and closing, you could see rotten teeth and a blood-red tongue. The void's big mouth was facing the tree crown, as if it was sucking something from the tree crown.
"Thirst blood."
Horn activates Thirst Frenzy ability,
The world in front of me changes, and blood lines appear on the ground.
"Oh My God."
"Why are there so many blood lines?"
Horn exclaimed,
The surface of the earth is almost covered with blood lines, and the blood color even covers the darkness of tar. Blood lines come from all directions and converge under the giant tree, injecting into the giant tree. The surface of the bark of the originally dark giant tree is also densely covered with blood red. Lines and blood lines spread along the trunk to the top of the tree crown, gathering and entangled into blood pillars that float into the sky and merge into the gaps in the void.
"flower."
"Big tree."
Horn recalled, "This should be the big tree that Sauron mentioned. I must be right."
Faced with such a strange scene,
Horn always felt as if he had broken into the center of some large ceremony.
"Could it be that the entire dark land is actually a giant ritual, using the monsters that are constantly sent to the ritual to deprive them of their life force, and then gather them here at the big tree."
"This strong sense of déjà vu."
Horn guessed in his mind,
After wandering in place for a while, inspecting the big tree from a distance, he couldn't see any problems. The spider demon didn't intuitively sense any danger for the time being, so Horn dared to continue to approach.
The closer you get to the tree,
The more you feel your own insignificance,
Horn originally thought that he was already a big guy among the spider demons. His body of over 100 meters was enough to crush most monsters. However, standing on the ground and looking up at the giant tree, he immediately felt that he was extremely small.
Every leaf that fell from the tree was about the same size as himself. The lines and gaps on the tree trunks were like ravines. The abyss on the crown of the tree almost occupied the entire sky above him. When he looked up, he could see the abyss swallowing him. The horrible look of blood.
"We're here."
"We can't go any further. I'm afraid something will happen if we run over again."
Horn arrived near the big tree, and instead of getting closer, he woke up the little briquettes who were resting on his back, "Wake up, little guys."
Little briquettes only need a short sleep to be full of energy.
The first thing they did after waking up was to gather around the spider demon boss and ask him to play with them.
"No time."
"It's no time now and I still want to play."
Horn responded ruthlessly,
The little coal ball can understand a little bit of language. Although these guys are not very good at talking, most of the time they can only utter some weird onomatopoeia-like language. However, Horn has been with the little coal ball for a long time and can complete some simple tasks. communication.
"Ahem."
"Listen up, little ones."
Horn said seriously.
The little briquettes sensed that the spider demon boss was unusually serious at this moment, so they all calmed down and stared at the big brother with wide eyes.
"Hmm, yes, that's the expression." Horn said, "Listen, wait a minute, I will give you a small task. Do you see that tree?"
"Tree!!"
"I'm talking about that tree! Why are you staring at me!"
Horn pointed to the big tree in the distance with his jointed limbs.
The little briquettes looked at Big Brother, then at the big tree, and blinked a few times to show they saw it.
Horn continued: "Well, very good, wait a minute, you go to that tree and pick some flowers for me, brother, do you understand?"
"flower!"
"That red flower!"
Horne emphasized again, also drawing the appearance of flowers on the ground.
After communicating with each other, the little briquettes understood what Big Brother meant. They were all extremely excited, waving their little hands, and rushed towards the big tree in the distance.
Horn stayed still, silently watching the little briquettes performing their tasks.
Maybe this is the correct use of the little briquettes,
As a bug-level monster, how can you think about playing with it all day long? The little briquettes should be allowed to play their due role in the right positions.
The little briquettes can’t die anyway,
It's best to let them face danger.
"Yeah~~"
"Yeah yeah yeah~~~~"
The little coal balls cheered and rushed towards the giant tree.
The tar on the ground along the way boiled after sensing that there were creatures approaching. Boom boom boom, the tar on the ground exploded, and the little coal balls were blown away like they were stepped on a landmine trap, fell to the ground, and then bounced up like bouncy balls.
The little coal balls that had experienced the explosion were even more excited, and their cheers were even louder. They regarded these dangerous tar explosions as a game.
Some of them even jumped to the explosion point specifically to be blown high.
"Hey~"
"Stop playing! Can you be serious?"
Horn shouted loudly from the back,
feeling lucky, "Fortunately I didn't go there by myself. If I stepped on these explosives, even my steel armor couldn't withstand it. It seems to be the right decision to let the "invincible" little coal balls go to explore the way first."
Horn hid in the back and watched the show.
As he expected,
the closer to the tree, the more dangerous it is. There are many magic traps on the ground near the tree. Once triggered, there will be either explosions, venom, or being torn into pieces by the magic array, or ice cones, or fireballs.
However, no matter how powerful the magic array traps are, they are just "playgrounds" in front of the little coal balls. The little guys smiled and endured the venom, explosion, fireball, ice cone and crushing power, and came to the roots of the giant tree.
"Climb up and pick the red flowers!"
"Hey, stop eating the fireballs over there!"
"Can we have some tension?"
Horn urged anxiously.
The little coal balls were about to climb up the tree trunk, but when they approached the roots, a powerful energy barrier was stimulated from the top of the tree canopy, turning into a blue spherical barrier that enveloped the entire tree.
The little coal balls were directly ejected when they touched the barrier.
