The Battle of Crazy Willow Forest

Outside a Princess's Forest, Gu Xi stopped the Evil Coffin.

After a half-hour trek, Gu Xi finally arrived at the designated location.

The Princess's Forest in front of us has a fairly good name on the map: Mad Willow Forest.

All the willows planted here are the crazy kind that will automatically attack people.

According to the map, there was only one Mad Willow when the academy was first established. Later, students would come and fight the Mad Willow from time to time.

If you win, you can get a branch of the Mad Willow.

This is the best material for making Magic Wand and bats.

Of course, after they die, they will leave behind a lot of flesh and blood here.

Regardless of whether the students win or lose, something will always end up in the Princess's Forest.

Over time, the Mad Willow Trees gradually transformed into the Mad Willow Forest.

In Princess's Forest where any normal creature would be attacked from all sides upon entering, only the smallest animals, either extremely fast or the most agile, can survive.

According to the map, a large group of white-furred rats live here.

These rats have a special skin; when peeled off and turned inside out, it turns a deep red color, looking as if it's been set on fire.

Therefore, this type of rat is also known as the Flame Rat or the flame rat.

Gu Xi here this time originally to find the sharp fangs of a creature called the Fire Rat King.

However, they had only gone halfway when the person who needed the Fire Rat King's fangs disappeared, which left Gu Xi somewhat helpless, but also gave him a new idea.

Students can come and beat up Crazy Willow, so he can come and beat up Crazy Willow too.

Gu Xi can take over this entire area without having to specifically try to catch rats.

After glancing at the situation in the Princess's Forest, Gu Xi raised his hand and released his City Gate.

This time, Gu Xi used the Troop Stockade City Gate.

With the appearance of the Undead Tree Pit, the willows in the Mad Willow Forest also began to move rapidly.

Arriving at the City Gate Tower of the Troop Stockade City Gate, Gu Xi looked at the Mad Willow Forest a hundred meters away. He realized that the name of these Mad Willows was indeed correct. The Undead Tree Pit was only nearby, but these Mad Willows were already waving their tentacle-like branches, constantly striking out into the distance.

Even knowing they would miss, they had no intention of stopping.

This kind of wild, unorthodox attack style left Gu Xi speechless.

If you accidentally rush in, you'll definitely be killed by these crazy willows in no time.

Most importantly, Gu Xi noticed something: these willow branches carried a heavy destructive force, Gu Xi could sense that this destructive force was not directed at all living things.

It's aimed at the undead.

Although he didn't quite understand the underlying principles, Gu Xi believed that there must be a reason why no one had bothered Mad Willow Forest during the years since the incident at the academy.

Now that Gu Xi is facing such an enemy, he certainly won't use undead attacks like a Skeleton Sea.

Upon discovering this situation, Gu Xi immediately mobilized all his magic and ranged units, including the small number of Lich and Withering One, as well as the Gu Xi Undead Eye Musician.

After all the ranged and Magic Unit were summoned, Gu Xi pointed to the Mad Willow Forest in front of him and said.

"I don't care what methods you use, just shoot directly into this area, like peeling an onion, layer by layer. Don't get too close, we have plenty of time."

As soon as Gu Xi gave the order, the Undead Archer leaders sprang into action. They all used their skills, some directing the Undead Archer to focus fire, while others designated a specific area for area-of-effect fire.

Others, taking advantage of their longer firing range, positioned themselves at the rear to fire.

The same goes for the necromancer leader, but they have even more tricks up their sleeve.

Skeleton Mage who use fireballs gather together, and they dare call their attack Meteor Fire Rain.

The Skeleton Mage uses Ice Arrow can naturally boast that he has mastered the Blizzard attack method.

Anyway, they started by focusing their attack on one location, but later they started fighting each other, penetrating the interior of the Mad Willow Forest layer by layer.

The mad willows in the Mad Willow Forest actually wanted to fight back against such an attack.

But they were no match for the Undead Tree Pit under Gu Xi's command.

The main body of the Undead Tree Pit is, after all, a kind of Treant or tree spirit. Even though it has stronger defense after Rooting, it can still move to some extent.

These crazy willows are very strong when they wave their tentacle-like branches, but they can't move.

As long as you stay away from their attack range, they will have no effect on you.

Once Gu Xi uses ranged attacks, these crazy willows are doomed.

Not to mention that Gu Xi used all sorts of methods.

Long-range attacks offer precise targeting and a wide variety of magical attacks.

The Undead Eye Musician even released a large number of Rotten Skin Rat and sent them into the Mad Willow Forest.

It must be said that these Rotten Skin Rat did Gu Xi a great deal of help.

When Gu Xi attacked Feng Liu, the fire rat inside actually wanted to come out and help.

After all, they all knew that the Mad Willow was their guarantee of safety.

Without the Mad Willow, they wouldn't be able to survive here.

Given their speed and numbers, if they were to actually reach Gu Xi's troops, they would certainly cause some trouble for the Archer Unit and Magic Unit.

As a result, the Rotten Skin Rat released by the Undead Eye Musician ended up fighting with these fire rats.

Although the Rotten Skin Rat are not strong in combat and their numbers are not as large as those of the fire rats.

But it served as a reminder to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi immediately dispatched the Corpse Poison Fly, and also had the White Bone Locust guard the front of the Archer Unit.

After making these arrangements, Gu Xi gave the order to the Scarecrow Hunter to send out crows to attack the fire rats.

Thanks to this multi-pronged attack, the fire rats did not manage to get behind Gu Xi's Archer Unit.

At the same time, Gu Xi also began to arrange some remedial measures, mobilizing several Skeleton squads and preparing them to enter the battle at any time.

After arranging everything, Gu Xi even considered whether to add more troops similar to Corpse Poison Fly or White Bone Locust.

After all, as Gu Xi's level increases, he will face more and more situations in the future.

The enemies will also become more diverse.

Such small-sized enemies are very likely to appear.

To defeat such small enemies, you either need to fight small against small, or outnumber them.

Alternatively, they could launch an area-of-effect spell attack.

Regardless of whether we encounter such enemies in the future, Gu Xi must know how to handle them.

As Gu Xi pondered this question, his troops had already entered the inner circle of the Mad Willow Forest, where an enormous Mad Willow appeared before Gu Xi.
