While Antiya Lisi could be ruthless in dealing with his subordinates and subjects, he was very sincere towards collaborators like Marba.
With a formidable enemy at hand, and facing the Fir City riddled with holes from worms, Antiya Lisi promised to do everything in his power to defend the city and buy time for Marba's surprise attack.
When he led his newly transformed half-tree army near the western city wall, what appeared before him was a scene of carnage.
Amidst the ruins, countless corpses lay scattered, and the rebel soldiers watched their positions from every corner, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
Antiya Lisi frowned.
The rebels were far more numerous than he had imagined, and why was their fighting spirit so intense?
But now that things have come to this, Antiya Lisi's camp no longer has any "morale." For these half-tree warriors, Antiya Lisi's words are the rules they must absolutely abide by.
Antiya Lisi's left side of his face was already showing signs of Tree Transformation, and he felt himself gradually losing control of his face.
But he paid no heed to this. Facing an enemy as small as insects, as numerous as insects, and as tenacious as insects, he calmly issued the order to attack.
On a rooftop by the roadside, [ Howling Pothos ] gazed down at Antiya Lisi and began his classic pre-battle feast.
The multi-functional arm armor customized from [ Do Some Farm Work ] is currently on his hands. Some time ago, [ Howling Pothos ] added a sum of money, so that [ Do Some Farm Work ], who had nothing to do since losing the supply station, made him a new arm armor.
At this moment, the two arm armors were on [ Howling Pothos ]'s arms, one on each side. He activated the growth gauntlet function without hesitation and began to feed the two weapons with his own flesh and blood.
The skin on his hands quickly began to turn like tree bark, but this did not cause any pain. On the contrary, he could clearly feel that this layer of hand armor was not just an outer shell, but was closely connected to his flesh.
Seeing his health bar steadily decreasing, [ Howling Pothos ] took out a bottle of Nutrient-Rich Resin and drank it, intending to heal himself back to health.
As his health bar gradually recovered, he pulled out three syringes from his waist: high-concentration " Trenbolone," " Anadrol," and " Hisron " from the " Steady and Sure Laboratory."
A surge of heat coursed through his body, and [ Howling Pothos ] felt as if his body were a balloon that was constantly expanding, filled with high-temperature, high-pressure steam.
In order to better control this body, [ Howling Pothos ] had previously activated some of its pain perception, but now, even after being weakened, the pain is still far too intense.
He thought for a moment, then opened the settings and completely turned off the pain perception level.
If you're going to be a berserker, then you can't feel pain!
Antiya Lisi, who was commanding his half-tree warriors to charge, suddenly turned around and looked at a rooftop behind him. In the darkness, there seemed to be a near-red-hot iron block watching him.
He had sensed the presence of a rebel group there long ago, but such rebel groups were all too common.
There were at least eighty or a hundred people hiding in houses or climbing onto rooftops, so he hadn't paid any attention to it before.
However, this rebel was different. His aura had always been at the Low Tier- level beginner stage, but just now, the intensity of his aura suddenly surged.
Antiya Lisi had already partially Tree Transformation, also entered a desperate phase. His senses were heightened compared to normal times. Upon noticing something amiss behind him, he immediately turned around and unleashed a volley of arrows.
What used to require nearly a hundred Holy Crusaders to create high-density firepower, Antiya Lisi could accomplish with a mere flick of his sleeve.
[ Howling Pothos ], who has partially transformed into Dragon Transformation, already has a slightly reddish vision. Although he is a high-level player with well-rounded attributes, this is the first time he has used medicine.
He needed to unleash the power within his body as soon as possible, and fighting a strong opponent was clearly a good option.
He leaned forward, fell off the edge of the roof, and landed on the outer wall of the second floor of the house. His body shot forward like a cannonball.
The wall of the house was dented by the attack, and then the entire roof was covered by a hail of arrows.
Fortunately, the residents here had already been evacuated to a distant place by [ Howling Pothos ] through both persuasion and coercion; otherwise, they would have turned into a family of hedgehogs by now.
Antiya Lisi gave the half-tree army the order to attack freely, and when he turned around, he saw that the flying cannonballs were already in front of him.
How dare a low-level player, who looks like a stray dog, attack me Initial Tier?
Antiya Lisi calmly shifted his body slightly to the side, and [ Howling Pothos ] used the full force of its fall to strike the ground beside it.
Just as he crashed to the ground, a crack suddenly appeared in the stone brick beneath his feet, and a long thorn shot upwards instantly. Caught off guard, [ Howling Pothos ]'s left thigh was pierced through in an instant.
But at this moment, [ Howling Pothos ] felt neither pain nor numbness, but rather... a cool sensation?
He had felt this way before. [ Howling Pothos ] thought back carefully. It was when he had a bad cold in real life and went to the hospital for an IV drip. The room-temperature medicine entered his body, making the blood vessels near the injection site feel a little cool.
Transforming humans into tree-like beings... forcibly Tree Transformation [ Clear Soup Master's ] body with a powerful punch... those who violate the rules will die instantly...
At this moment, [ Howling Pothos ] was absolutely certain. Looking at the enemy before him who seemed to be a skilled melee fighter, and disregarding whether other players could hear him, he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Be careful, Antiya Lisi is using poison!"
His first mission was complete. If he couldn't confirm the type of symbiotic plant Antiya Lisi, [ Howling Pothos ] could be certain that the Soul Returner would suffer heavy losses in the upcoming battle.
But once this is confirmed, although essentially everyone still doesn't have any means to counter Antiya Lisi, at least they can be more vigilant. And... do we really have no means to counter him?
The archbishop ignored what the man was shouting. He beckoned with his finger and, without giving [ Howling Pothos ] a chance to cut the splinter, put it back into the ground.
Why did you ask him to cut the splinters?
The residue left in the wound will only slow down his bleeding.
As expected, as the sharp wooden spikes retracted, a line of blood immediately shot out from both sides of the [ Howling Pothos ]'s piercing wound.
