Tree Mother

Rumble—

Under the cover of night, trees were toppled and rocks were torn apart in the forest, as if a terrifying beast was roaming through the woods.

In fact, they are not far apart.

The thick trees twisted together like braids, lying prostrate on the ground, half sunk into the earth and half exposed on the surface, digging forward rapidly with a flexibility beyond that of normal trees.

In the direction in which it moves.

Soil, trees, and rocks will all be instantly pulverized by it.

A 5-meter-wide path through the forest was thus carved out by the trees.

He moved swiftly through the trees, his bloodshot eyes nearly driven mad.

The Tree Mother is now residing here.

She maintained her sanity even during the decades she was subjugated by the Dragon Beast.

However, in the last decade, she has been constantly drained of her Essence and controlled by the core in the hands of the Fairy Girl, and her sanity has been teetering on the brink of collapse.

At this moment, her chaotic mind was filled with countless thoughts.

Even I can't tell what I'm feeling.

A few minutes ago, the Fairy Girl summoned her, and the Tree Mother naturally responded and came.

But on the way there, she suddenly couldn't feel the other person anymore!

The person who controlled me is dead?

Someone killed the Flower Spirit? Were these people friend or foe? Why did they help me? What will happen after the Dragon Beast? "Die..."

"Go to hell!"

His frantic thoughts were finally completely consumed by murderous intent.

She even began to experience memory confusion and started screaming as she moved forward.

"Elf, where are you!"

"I'll kill you!"

"I will not yield... I will obey and live!"

On the other side of the forest, Linsey and Red were on high alert.

They certainly saw the menacing trees rushing towards them and heard the Tree Mother's frantic roar.

Hong was even somewhat surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Has this guy gone this crazy?"

Linsey nodded slightly:

"But for us, this is pure good news."

As she spoke, Linsey kept her eyes fixed on the charging Tree Mother.

This thing, just by moving, is surrounded by a thick layer of trees with a diameter of 4 meters, making it an almost impenetrable defense.

The force and speed of its movement are almost like those of a high-speed train.

"If things were normal, we probably wouldn't be able to fight."

Linsey remarked with emotion.

This is a helpless assessment of reality.

He and Red had almost no way to break through the opponent's defenses or force them to stop.

The differences in individual strength have become significant in the Fifth Stage.

By the Sixth Stage, this gap had widened rapidly, becoming an almost insurmountable chasm!

"Fortunately, we have this."

Linsey lowered her head slightly and held the Banyan Forest Broken Branch in her hand.

This thing was originally used by the Flower Spirit to control the Tree Mother, and it was also a privilege that Dragon Beast Envoy could possess.

But now, it has become Linsey and Red's only hope of defeating their enemy.

"Die!"

The moment Linsey took out the [Banyan Forest Broken Branch], the Tree Mother, which was rushing forward in a frenzy, also accelerated.

Her original targets were these two humans.

Not to mention that their core technology is still in the hands of the other side!

Smash!

The next second, the Banyan Forest Broken Branch snapped in Linsey's hand.

The [Emblem of Ice and Fire] was activated simultaneously, and a layer of flame adhered to it, instantly burning the fragile core into charcoal.

"..."

In an instant, the sturdy trees that were moving forward came to a standstill.

The Tree Mother, caught in the middle, didn't even have time to let out a scream.

As the core fractured and burned, the sturdy trees withered on the spot, quickly turning into a pile of rotten wood.

boom--

The loss of power caused the rotten wood to collapse with a crash.

A slender figure thus appeared in the forest at night.

It was a creature that resembled Tree Spirit, but was a size larger and possessed certain female characteristics.

It just stood there, motionless.

A variety of emotions surged within his crimson pupils, and his originally deep and restrained Essence surged violently, creating a violent airflow around him.

The Tree Mother simply stood still, yet her power continuously surged forth in all directions.

"..."

Linsey and Red exchanged a glance.

They had also dug traps ahead and buried a large number of Flame Bomb.

But now it seems that because the core was destroyed, the opponent's body has stagnated and it is no longer possible for them to enter.

"Let's do it!"

The next second, Linsey and Red attacked simultaneously.

With a thunderous roar, the Iron Horn Great Bow fired an arrow covered in multiple Essence damages; Hong also mustered all her strength, concentrating her power into the Meteorite Spear and hurling it.

Boom! The powerful impact exploded directly on the Tree Mother.

Linsey and Red went all out, and their attacks hit the Tree Mother almost the next second.

In an instant, smoke and dust filled the air, and flames, cold air, decay, explosions, and fragments of weapons blasted outwards.

"..."

Linsey and Red watched the epicenter of the explosion with bated breath.

Their attack just now was their all-out effort without holding back, and the opponent, due to the damage to its core, stood motionless in place, in the best attacking state.

Can we defeat this dangerous enemy...?

Then, Red's voice rang out beside Linsey:

"Linsey, is it too late for us to run away now?"

Linsey did not answer Red's question.

He stared intently at the land where the smoke had dissipated.

Amidst the ruins of the forest and the earth, the Tree Mother reappeared, but her body was almost unharmed.

Reality is just that cruel.

Not only is he unable to move, but his body and mind are also severely damaged.

But the Sixth Stage Devil Beast just stood there motionless, its defense so strong it was almost despair-inducing.

Linsey's arrow shattered into pieces the instant it struck the opponent's body.

Even the Meteorite Spear that Hong threw with all her might had broken into several pieces at the opponent's feet.

There were no wounds found on the Tree Mother.

They attacked with all their might, yet couldn't even break through its defenses. This motionless entity before them was simply an enemy they couldn't possibly handle! "Thud—"

Linsey swallowed hard.

Faced with such a disparity in strength, an idea popped into my head with difficulty.

Should we retreat first? While the enemy is in a bad state, they might be able to buy time to get away from the forest.

But once the other party leaves this state...

Linsey shook her head.

They have already revealed their presence and are racing against the monster, the Tree Mother, in the Starshine Forest.

There's absolutely no chance of winning.

The attack could not break through the defenses, and the escapees saw no hope whatsoever.

Neither advancing nor retreating is an option.

Is using the [Glorious Bullet] the only way to kill this guy?

Red nudged Linsey's arm and asked, "Linsey, is this really something we can handle?"

Linsey immediately shook his head. How could he possibly reveal his trump card for dealing with the Dragon Beast so easily!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Linsey gritted his teeth and immediately drew back the Iron Horn Great Bow, firing several arrows.

But even with the same all-out attack, the arrows were no different from the previous ones, leaving only a pile of new arrow fragments on the ground.

Buzz—

Just then, a green light burst forth from the Tree Mother's chest.

Linsey changed into the Crimson Spider Eye Goggles and the Black Scale Lizard Dragon Head. With her enhanced vision, she could see very clearly that something resembling a broken tree branch was buried in the Tree Mother's chest.

"Another Banyan Forest Broken Branch?"

Linsey instantly realized what she had seen.

At the same time, a large number of Thorn spread and grew from the base of the Tree Mother, surrounding it.

"It's protecting itself and repairing its body!"

Hong immediately made a judgment.

"But it still can't move, otherwise it wouldn't have these Thorn to protect itself!" Linsey glanced at his bag and made his final decision. "Red, I'll go up and try."

Red's eyes widened as she thought of Linsey's endless array of props:

"You have another trick up your sleeve?"

Linsey shook her head with a wry smile:

"Hopefully I still have a trick up my sleeve?"
