Chapter 12: Sitting on a Mountain Watching Tigers Fight

  Tian Huo's face sank, he couldn't believe that the lovely girl had actually approached him on purpose, and her goal was exposed in less than a day!

  The system prompts that it is under attack by the Eight Knives Crazy team, and the first to attack itself is Chuchu. This is enough to show that Chuchu and Eight Knives Crazy are a team, they are in cahoots!

  Tian Huo didn't care about Chu Chu and the five people who rushed over, suddenly turning around to look at Chu Chu, saying in a low voice: "What I hate the most is deception. From now on, every time I see you, I will kill you once!"

  "Quick!" Eight Blades Crazy shouted loudly, and dozens of people not far away were also rushing over at incredible speed, instantly surrounding Tianhuo. Without any hesitation, the eight people closest to Tianhuo simultaneously raised their new swords and slashed down.

  "Ding! Player Tian Huo, be advised that the team of Ba Zi is launching an attack on you. You have three minutes to defend yourself!"

  ……

  Tian Huo clenched his fists tightly, but his expression was extremely calm. Ignoring the string of "-1"s popping up above his head, he counted silently, "Six, seven teams attacking me at once? Looks like your names have all changed color!"

  She took a quick glance around and indeed, everyone's names had changed color due to being in PK mode.

  "Hum! You're asking for it! Good and evil mode! Verbal sparring! Hundred battles, shattered iron armor!"

  －260，－298……

  Seven large characters fell rapidly, and for a moment, dense damage flew out from the top of everyone's head. When the seventh character fell, a dense white light had already risen in the field.

  Today, Huo's attack reached 335 and defense reached 245. In the newbie village, no one can break through Tianhuo's defense, let alone withstand Tianhuo's seven-word verbal attack.

  In just a few seconds, more than 40 people from the Yatou family were left with no survivors!

  "Ding! Justified self-defense successful, increased sin value - 42."

  "Ding! System prompt: Wen Sheng's Sorrow has been activated, picking up Small Golden Medicine x28, Newbie Clothes x2, and Newbie Sword x3."

  Tian Huo knew that this was a skill attached to the Wen Sheng's Ring, and automatically picked up the dropped items for himself. He just didn't expect someone to be so unlucky that even their clothes and weapons exploded, in this equipment-scarce newbie village, those few people will probably regret it until they die.

  Forty-two people appeared at the same time on the revival point of Novice Village, but at this moment, everyone's face was ugly.

  Hachigane's face turned pale with rage, and he burst out cursing: "Damn it, how can that guy's defense and offense be so strong! His HP is still so thick, impossible! What the hell is his profession?"

  "It's not a professional issue, it must be that ring. Who knows if the ring is a spiritual artifact or even a divine artifact? We won't be his opponent. Let's wait for now, once we leave the newbie village, we can meet up with everyone else and change our profession. By then, we'll have long-range attacks and will definitely take him down!" A young man standing next to Hachigane had an equally gloomy expression.

  "Ring? Right! It must be that ring's attribute is too strong! Luckily, newbie village doesn't drop levels upon death. Everyone hurry up and prepare, we'll go do the teleportation array quest soon, get crystal stones, and the reward will definitely be rich! With the reward, who knows, maybe we can even kill Tianhuo!" Ba Dao Kuang said as he walked out of the resurrection point.

  Tianhuo once again climbed Mount Baiyun, according to the middle-aged man NPC, the crystal stone fell into the hands of the tree demon, and the tree demon was on Mount Baiyun. According to Tianhuo's thinking, the most likely place is in the tree monster area.

  The tree monster area is above the middle of the mountain, and the slope is still relatively gentle. There are only sparse and low shrubs, and you can see a few tree monsters wandering around at a glance. However, no shadow of the tree demon was found.

  "Divine Eye of Scripture!" Tian Huo directly activated the Divine Eye of Scripture, gazing at the Tree Monster. Instantly, even more detailed information appeared before his eyes.

  Tree Monster: Level 8, HP 330, Attack 50, Defense 20.

  This was originally an ordinary tree on Mount Baiyun. Since a tree demon stole the crystal of the transmission array, these trees underwent a strange transformation and became tree monsters.

  Tian Huo opened his mouth, and the probing technique turned into Wen Sheng's eyes. Unexpectedly, he could see even more detailed information. According to this information, the crystal stone of the transmission array was indeed here!

  But looking around, I couldn't find where the tree demon was hiding at all.

  After a moment of contemplation, Tian Huo suddenly began to clear away the strange trees, perhaps the tree demon would appear!

  Think and act, Tianhuo steps out, mouth-uttering skills come out, and the military expedition comes out one by one, starting the great cleanup.

  "Ding! System prompt: Gained 144 experience."

  "Ding! System Prompt: Gained 144 experience."

  ……

  The tree monster has only 330 blood, and its movements are slow. It doesn't even have a chance to attack the heavenly fire before it disappears into white light. Within a range of 30 meters, it is often cleared out in just 2 seconds.

  In just three hours, the Tree Monster area had been swept back and forth by Tian Huo twice, and the upgrade experience had become: 1544255/1806000. However, there was still no sign of the Tree Monster.

  Just as Tian Huo was puzzled, a group of people slowly appeared at the foot of the mountain. Tian Huo was taken aback - someone had actually come here to hunt monsters?

  In a daze, Tianhuo ducked behind a bush, and with so many people coming together at once, it didn't seem like they were here to level up. Instead, it made Tianhuo think that the Crystal Task wasn't the only task out there, others could take it on too.

  In just a few minutes, the group of people had already walked up, and the leader was actually Eight Slashes again!

  Tianhuo shook his head, it was indeed a narrow road to meet the enemies everywhere. He wondered what these people from the Badao family wanted to do!

  More than a hundred people stayed in the tree monster area, and saw that everyone first cleaned up the surrounding tree monsters, and then stood on one side, forming four sides to surround the center tightly.

  At this moment, Yatou Kyō pulled out a strange little grass and threw it onto the ground in the center, then quickly ran out of the battle circle surrounded by everyone.

  "Get ready, all of you, and listen to my orders carefully. Anyone who dares to disobey will have no one to blame but themselves!" The Eight Blades Lunatic shouted loudly as he gazed intently at the peculiar little grass on the ground.

  Only saw the ground slowly crack out a few cracks, in those cracks, a few root-like tentacles drilled out.

  Tian Huo stared at the scene in front of him, still not understanding. That must be the tree demon. It turned out that the tree demon needed to be lured out. The middle-aged man gave himself a spiritual herb, perhaps it was used to lure the tree demon, but he didn't understand at the time and took it to refine the elixir.

  In the blink of an eye, a four or five meter tall tree monster had emerged from the ground, resembling the Tree People in some movie on Earth, but with long roots all over its two arms, which made people's scalp feel numb when it moved.

  "First team, go! Second team, get ready!" The Eight Blades Lunatic shouted loudly, and immediately a team of troops rushed out in big strides, chopping towards the Tree Demon.

  The heavens' fire dimly illuminated his tongue, and he lost a literary saint's eye, instantly seeing its properties clearly.

  Tree Spirit (White Silver Boss), Level 10, HP 56,000, Attack 430, Defense 170.

  Originally a common foreign tree monster, it absorbed the power of Crystal Stone and grew into a white silver boss. Its slow movement speed is its only weakness.

  Skill: Death Entanglement, Dancing Roots attack everything within a 10m radius, dealing 90% of the attack damage.

  Death Slumber, releases a strange power, 50% chance to put enemies within a radius of 10m to sleep for 3 seconds.

  "Large-scale attack! This time it's going to be fun!" As soon as he saw the two skills of the Tree Demon, Tian Huo's eyes lit up. The Eight Blades Family was indeed his lucky star.

  The eight-blade family members were divided into four teams, each occupying one side, all standing more than ten meters away from the tree demon. At this moment, the first team of twenty or thirty people moved forward to attack, chopping and hacking at the tree demon, with strings of '-1' emerging from the top of the tree demon's head.

  Generally, players of level 5 or 6, attacking a level 10 Silver boss, couldn't break through its defense. However, it opened the eyes of Tian Huo, who saw that with a loud command from Ba Dao Kuang, the second team charged forward while the first team retreated, perfectly taking over the attack task.

  "First team, quick recovery! Third team, prepare!" The Eight Blades' commander gave orders calmly.

  After a while, the blood volume of the tree demon has become 54330. If this continues, the Eight Blades family may be able to kill the white silver boss in front of them. However, Tianhuo is not worried because the tree demon has not started using its skills yet!

  Without using any skills, the tree demon simply swung its arms to counterattack. However, under that powerful attack, whoever was hit would take nearly 400 damage. Nevertheless, this tree demon seemed to have an IQ problem, as after a few minutes passed, it didn't repeat its attack on the same person, allowing the entire team to recover their HP and cling to life.

  "Third group up, second group retreat!" The Eight Slashes Crazy ordered as he saw that the blood values of the people in the second group had decreased significantly.

  Each group that goes up can cause more than 1,000 damage to the tree demon, making Tianhuo sigh in amazement. With many people, the power is great, and even if it's forced to deduct 1 point of blood, the damage value after so many people's rotation battle is still quite impressive!

  More than ten minutes passed, under the four groups' orderly attack, the Tree Demon's HP had actually dropped to 18,000, only one-third left. However, just at this moment, a green glow began to emanate from the top of the Tree Demon's head.

  "Fall back at once!" The Eight Blades Lunatic had been on guard all along and as soon as he saw something was amiss, he hastily shouted.

  However, the crowd only ran a few steps before a green light burst forth, instantly spreading across an area of 10 meters in radius. Under this green light, everyone fell to the ground, with "Z"-shaped marks appearing on their foreheads as they fell into a deep sleep!

  It's the Tree Ogre's skill, Death Slumber!

  "Second group, go up!" Badao Kuang didn't expect the tree demon's skill to be released so quickly and hastily ordered the second group to go up and attract hatred.

  But it was too late, the tree demon swung its massive arms and smashed them down at the crowd that had fallen asleep, each time bringing up several white lights, and the tree demon also left its original position.

  Roar! More than a dozen people were hung in a row, the tree demon looked up and let out a loud roar, and then its double arms' roots danced quickly, like giant electric fans, spinning around its body.

  The second group that had yet to reach the Tree Demon's front was instantly swept away by countless roots, with strings of damage values popping out. In just two seconds, they collectively turned into white light.

  "The good show has finally begun!"
