The City of Terror

Running ahead with a contingent of boars chasing behind him, the Monster Trees soon appeared in front of him.

While the boars were running the ground began shaking, as though their movements were creating an earthquake.

However, Monster Trees did not respond at all. Only when Wei Xiao Bei approached them did the Monster Trees wake up and extend their roots into the air, attempting to grab him, but these Monster Trees were too slow to respond.

By the time they had pulled their roots out from the ground, Wei Xiao Bei had already run past them, causing the boars who were chasing after him to operate as tanks against the Monster Trees, charging into the forest of them and breaking them in half.

When the boars touched the tree roots they were instantly bound.

However, these Monster Trees could not deal with one Dang Kang, let alone a whole group of them.

In the blink of an eye, the Monster Trees blocking the path of the Dang Kangs immediately snapped, with some trees even attracting extra retaliation from the Dang Kangs.

When the Dang Kangs moved they were able to easily free themselves, meaning they moved as though they were on an ordinary hiking trip, the Monster Trees becoming completely non-existent. They had charged for quite a distance, breaking apart all the Monster Trees in their path. Some tree trunks were snapped in the middle, while others were quite st.u.r.dy and were instead uprooted from the ground.

In short, the boars had quickly opened up a path in the forest.

Wei Xiao Bei, on the other hand, did not have an easy time.

He was running with a person on his shoulder and the forest in front of him was quite dense. Huang Kun"s face had already been cut twice by rogue tree branches. Wei Xiao Bei deliberated on his current situation and decided to throw Huang Kun as far as he possibly could.

Cold sweat flowed all over Huang Kun, who thought that everything would be over once the Dang Kangs charged at him. It wouldn"t take long for him to be turned into meat paste.

However, the Dang Kangs did not pay him any attention, as they were solely fixated on Wei Xiao Bei and not the person he was carrying.

This made Huang Kun relax, but then suddenly tree roots appeared from under him, binding him in place.

Courting death!

Huang Kun had not yet gotten over this fright when a Monster Tree tried to bully him. This immediately infuriated him, so he ferociously chopped at the tree roots with his Macedonian s.h.i.+eld, which he had surprisingly not dropped.

The Macedonian s.h.i.+eld was a piece of equipment that could be used for both attacking and defending, as its edges were sharpened to the point. Using it to chop up tree roots was very easy. In just a few strikes, the tree roots were chopped up and lost its vitality, laying still on the forest floor like a dead snake.

However, what alarmed Huang Kun was that more tree roots had appeared on the ground and moved towards him.

This made Huang Kun realize that he was already deep within the forest of Monster Trees!

"Master, save me!"

Huang Kun could not help but use his trump card.

However, Wei Xiao Bei was not able to take Huang Kun into consideration as he was dodging the increasing number of tree roots.

Naturally, these tree roots had also greatly decreased the boars" charging speed.

The deeper they went in the forest, the more tree roots that appeared on the ground.

Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei"s flexibility and agility made it hard for the tree roots to touch him.

In the end, more than ten big trees had appeared in front of him.

These big trees were different from the Monster Trees. If the Monster Trees could be described as citrus trees, then these big Monster Trees would be described as birch trees.

Wei Xiao Bei strode forward to the back of a big tree, the big Monster Tree yet to wake.

However, the boars chasing after Wei Xiao Bei did not have any plans of slowing down.

Bang!

The boar that was charging at the very front completely ignored the big tree in front of it, striking it head-on.

Bang! The sound of a tree being hit echoed throughout the forest.

The Dang Kang"s attack on the large tree was unble to deal much damage, its tusk becoming caught in the tree.

When the Dang Kang finally pulled out its tusk, continuous banging sounds echoed as the other Dang Kangs struck the trees.

These Dang Kangs were a brainless bunch. When they saw the first Dang Kang hit the tree, they also carelessly charged into one.

Wei Xiao Bei originally thought that the big Monster Tree would be able to easily block the Dang Kang, but as he stood at the back and prepared to dodge, he could hear the sound of snapping before the Dang Kang even finished attacking.

The Dang Kangs advanced like a wave and were able to actually snap a big Monster Tree.

The eighty meters heigh trees slowly fell backward, swiftly hitting the ground.

Wei Xiao Bei quickly dodged it and heard a loud bang from the tree impacting the ground. The Monster Trees behind it were immediately smashed to death.

The Dang Kang"s had stopped attacking and were instead excitedly snorting. They gathered around the destroyed tree and licked the tree sap flowing out of it with all their might.

Wei Xiao Bei knew that the tree sap was definitely a good treasure, but he had to make sure if it was worth risking his life for.

He used his [Status Appraisal] on the sparkling tree sap that was continuously flowing out.

Name: Big Monster Tree"s Sweet Sap (High Quality)

Description: This item was made from the condensed essence of the Big Monster Tree. This item possesses a certain level of sweetness.

Effect 1: This item can be purified and have its sugar concentration increase.

Effect 2: Consuming this item will increase vitality.

Effect 3: This item can be used in cooking to increase the dish"s quality. Note: Do not add carelessly.

When Wei Xiao Bei saw the description, he almost wanted to drive away the group of Dang Kang.

Luckily, he was not that impulsive.

In the next instant, countless roots drilled out from the ground below the drinking Dang Kang, binding them.

Without a doubt, the sudden destruction of a Big Monster Tree by the Dang Kang would make the other Big Monster Trees move. Even if they were slow they would not stay indifferent, as this was a threat to their existence.

These roots were much thicker than the ones of the Monster Trees.

In the next instant, more than ten Dang Kangs were bound by the roots, and countless more began to appear. These Dang Kangs now looked like rice dumplings wrapped in leaves.

The Dang Kangs that had been bound immediately cried out in fear, causing the other Dang Kangs to become enraged as they struck the other Big Monster Trees.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Soon, another Big Monster Tree was destroyed, causing sparkling sap to come out.

Seeing this scene, Wei Xiao Bei became slightly excited. There was no doubt that he hoped that the Dang Kangs and Big Monster Trees would kill each other off.

If that happened, then he would be the ultimate winner.

However, this thought was quickly extinguished.

The Dang Kangs were indeed able to destroy the Big Monster Trees one by one, but there were more than ten of them. When a Big Monster Tree fell down, the other Big Monster Trees appeared to have awoken, causing countless python-like roots to appear from the ground.

These Dang Kangs were not able to easily knock against another tree.

In truth, these roots were quite troublesome for the Dang Kangs.

Even if the Dang Kangs tried to pull their foot free from the roots with all their might, escaping wasn"t feasible due to the sheer number of them. Breaking one root would cause more roots to bind them. Moreover, the Dang Kangs were unable to charge at all after being bound!

Once they lost their speed, the Dang Kangs" threat decreased a lot.

A majority of the Dang Kangs had been bound in a short time.

Although the Dang Kang tried to use their [Charge] skill, it could not be used unlimited times. Every time they used it, they would need to rest for half an hour.

Then more roots appeared while they were waiting for the skill"s cooldown, more and more of them looking akin to rice dumplings.

The roots kept closing in, causing the Dang Kangs to let out tragic cries similar to that of a pig about to be slaughtered.

The scene appeared cruel, but the Big Monster Trees would never show mercy.

Time slowly pa.s.sed by. Once the roots had completely closed in, the blood of the Dang Kangs began to drip out. The blood that flowed out from the crushed Dang Kangs quickly flowed out through the roots" openings into the ground.

Forcibly strangled to death!

Wei Xiao Bei did not want to end up like that.

Although he could kill a few Dang Kangs trapped in the roots with his speed, he did not dare to steal the Big Monster Trees"s spoils. If he truly made a move, he was worried that he would become the target of all the Big Monster Trees.

After the roots had closed in as much as possible, even if the Dang Kangs were still alive they would not be able to recover from the roots mangling their bodies.

The first victim fell. A Dang Kang had been twisted to the point that it could not even let out a cry, and was finally let go by the root after dying.

It was clear that the Big Monster Trees would not pay any attention to Wei Xiao Bei until they finished killing off all the Dang Kangs.

After hesitating for a while, Wei Xiao Bei moved to the tree trunk of a destroyed Big Monster Tree.

Wei Xiao Bei placed his Small Holding Bag on the stump, causing the sweet sap to continuously flow into it.

However, a single tree"s sap was not much as it quickly dried up. Wei Xiao Bei immediately moved to the second tree and did the same thing.
