The Mountain Range Outskirts
Mountain range.
"If we encounter Fierce Beast, I'll fight them from the front, and you'll stay behind and heal them."
Wind Snow Traveler has now gotten used to Xiao Fan's healing method of Blood Bar Healing.
He exclaimed countless times, "Jiu Chen is truly a genius!"
This treatment method is not only more convenient than previous bandage surgeries, but it can also be used in combat, making it incredibly useful and providing excellent life-saving benefits!
He used to think that if he was injured, he should wait until he received treatment. Now he knows that as long as his health bar is fully restored, he won't die and will recover quickly.
"Of course, you can also deal damage if you have the chance; let's attack together faster."
Wind Snow Traveler chattered on and on. Xiao Fan walked along, but suddenly stopped. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" Wind Snow Traveler stopped and asked when he saw this.
"Did you hear anything?" Xiao Fan asked him in a low voice, his brows furrowed.
Wind Snow Traveler listened intently for a long time, but all around was silent; there was no sound at all.
"No, I didn't hear anything," Wind Snow Traveler turned to Xiao Fan: "Did you hear something?"
Xiao Fan shook his head. "I didn't hear anything either."
Wind Snow Traveler:...
Dude, you think you're funny?
The next second, he saw Xiao Fan's expression suddenly turn wary.
"This mountain range is densely wooded; logically, there shouldn't be no sound at all."
Upon hearing this, Wind Snow Traveler's expression changed drastically, and he finally realized that something was wrong.
It's too quiet here, unnaturally quiet!
Wind Snow Traveler's eyes sharpened as he warily scanned his surroundings.
Everywhere you look, there are jagged, strange rocks. Sturdy, ancient trees with bizarre shapes grow among them, their gnarled branches twisting and turning. Lush Green Leaf grow and intertwine at the canopy, so dense that they almost block out the light, casting large, somber Shadow in the silence.
Wrong!
It's windy in the Zone 18 all year round, and the wind was quite strong when they left the village today.
Wind Snow Traveler looked up, and the leaves above him swayed in one direction in the wind without making a sound. The scene was too eerie, and Wind Snow Traveler couldn't help but shiver and leaned closer to Xiao Fan.
"Jiu Chen, what do we do now?"
Xiao Fan's expression was rather unpleasant.
"Let's get out of the mountains first."
Xiao Fan and Wind Snow Traveler huddled together, retracing their steps in the direction they had come from while cautiously observing their surroundings.
The two walked for an unknown amount of time, but all they could see were rocks and giant trees.
"How so?"
Wind Snow Traveler stopped in his tracks. He and Xiao Fan hadn't been in the mountains for long, so how could they have been walking for so long without coming out?
"Could we have gone the wrong way? But I remember this is the road we came by. How come we haven't seen the exit of the mountain range after walking for so long?" Wind Snow Traveler couldn't help but feel nervous.
This area is, after all, unexplored territory, and no one knows what dangers lie within.
He and Xiao Fan were already the strongest players in the Zone 18; if they encountered any danger, they wouldn't even be able to find rescue.
Xiao Fan shook his head and looked around at the giant trees.
"It's not our problem. If I'm not mistaken, these trees around us have been moving, leading us down the wrong path."
Finally, Xiao Fan, his face ashen, uttered a sentence that terrified Wind Snow Traveler.
"Perhaps we're already close to the inner edge of the mountain range."
"You... what did you say? These trees can move? No... that can't be."
The Wind Snow Traveler shuddered in fright, clutching his chest tightly, his voice trembling.
His gaze shifted to the surrounding giant trees.
If the trees were moved, the soil around them should have been loosened, but there was nothing unusual about the base of these giant trees.
There are indeed many mutated plants in <Cloud Sea>, but they are just mutated, not that they have become plants that can walk!
"Jiu Chen, you're not kidding, are you? How could a tree move by itself?" Wind Snow Traveler forced an ugly smile.
"Whether it moves or not, why don't you try hitting it and see?"
Xiao Fan shifted his gaze to a giant tree directly in front of the two of them, his meaning quite clear.
Just hit it!
Wind Snow Traveler was initially hesitant, but upon closer reflection, he realized he was already level sixteen!
If nothing unexpected happens, there are at most level 11-15 creatures on the outskirts of the mountain range. With Xiao Fan as his protector, what is there to be afraid of!
Having figured this out, Wind Snow Traveler took his large axe, walked up to the tree, and chopped at the trunk.
With that swing of the axe, the giant tree in front of them began to tremble violently.
-300HP
A huge red number floated up from the treetops.
At the same time, its message appeared above.
Name: Vitality Tree Spirit
Level: 11
HP: 1200/1500
"Damn it, it really is these damn big trees causing the trouble. Just watch, I'll cut them down and that'll be the end of it!"
Upon seeing the tree information, Wind Snow Traveler instantly straightened up.
He was actually outmaneuvered by a group of trees, and what's worse, these trees were just level 11 creatures, while he was a level 16 player!
This is outrageous!
"Careful!"
Xiao Fan's voice called from behind, startling Wind Snow Traveler and bringing him back to his senses. He then noticed that when the tree trembled violently, many leaves had fallen from the branches, but instead of falling to the ground, they had mysteriously remained suspended in mid-air.
The edges of the leaves gleamed with a cold light, becoming as sharp and hard as fire-blade knives, all aimed at him.
"These books even have hidden weapons!"
The Wind Snow Traveler has learned something new today.
"Whoosh~"
Leaves flew towards Wind Snow Traveler and Xiao Fan with a whooshing sound.
The Wind Snow Traveler used an axe to knock the leaves to the ground. When they touched each other, they made a metallic clanging sound, which showed how hard the leaves were.
I'll kill you!
Wind Snow Traveler stepped forward with his axe, immediately activating his two Yellow Rank skills.
-360HP
-340HP
Despite being a level 5 disadvantage, the Wind Snow Traveler could still deal significant damage; those three axe blows directly reduced the Vitality Tree Spirit's health by two-thirds.
Just as he was about to finish off the tree spirit with two axe blows, the tree in front of him shook violently once again.
Wind Snow Traveler sneered, "Going to throw your throwing knives again, huh? Fine, I'll stand right here and let you throw them!"
The Wind Snow Traveler, wielding his axe, was fearless.
However, no leaves were shaken off.
The Vitality Tree Spirit's health bar, however, surged wildly amidst the tremors, and within moments...
1500/1500
Wind Snow Traveler's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
$&*%#¥@...
Damn! What a treacherous old tree!
Serves you right for pretending! Now it's all good, all that effort was for nothing.
The Wind Snow Traveler stepped forward and began chopping at the tree trunk, but each time the Vitality Tree Spirit's health dropped to only one-third, its health would start to increase wildly.
After chopping for half a day, Wind Snow Traveler was bent over, panting heavily, but the Vitality Tree Spirit was still at full health, and even the trunk had recovered completely.
How do you play this?
