The panicked barbarians evacuated in the direction of Ed and others, shouting for help as they ran.

Behind them, there are dense spikes extending from the ground and spreading vines chasing after them!

how so?

Ed was a little confused for a moment.

Has the sacred tree become so powerful?

The entire barbarian team was wiped out in just a few minutes?

"Gan!"

"Don't let them come! Block them!"

Ed realized something was wrong.

The group of fleeing barbarians will most likely attract the hatred of the sacred tree!

The faces of the players following Ed turned dark.

To put it lightly, you want to stop the barbarians?

Just kidding?

"Fierce Dragon Breath!"

Facing the barbarians rushing towards the back of the team, Ed took out a scroll of the highest level flame spell from his backpack, held it tightly and threw it forward.

"Roar!!!"

The roar of the dragon sounded!

A substantial stream of flames blasted towards the barbarians running forward.

In an instant, the barbarians and the extending vines were submerged into the blazing sea of ​​fire!

The flames quickly spread around!

"Crack, crackle, crackle..."

From the fire in front of me came the sound of burning vines and the painful howls of the barbarians.

Players gathered around and threw spells into the sea of ​​fire.

After a round of spells was thrown, everyone fell into silence for a moment as they looked at the sea of ​​​​fire that continued to burn.

Ed also stood there. After using a super-high-level magic scroll that far surpassed his abilities, he also entered a backlash state and was temporarily unable to move or attack.

He stared at the flames in front of him, slowly spreading towards him step by step.

"laugh!!!!"

Ed's pupils suddenly shrank.

Almost instantly, dozens of twisted vine spikes pierced out from the sea of ​​fire!

The sharp thorn pierced his face in an instant, only five centimeters away from his forehead.

"Creak, creak, creak..."

The vine spikes made a faint sound.

Stopped?

Ed stared at the spikes.

He felt his own heavy heartbeat.

Cold sweat trickled down his cheeks.

He thought of something, took out the rune stone and slowly stretched it forward.

"Chi chi chi..."

After a stalemate for several seconds, it seemed that something had been confirmed, and the spikes quickly retreated behind the sea of ​​fire.

call……

Ed let out a loud breath and reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his cheeks, feeling as if he was exhausted after a disaster.

"Go! Retreat."

"Quick, let's go."

Even the barbarians were wiped out!

Didn't even last more than ten minutes!

That was a demonized barbarian team of more than a hundred people!

The player team was so frightened that they no longer had the intention to continue fighting, and followed Ed to retreat along the same route.

Now they are just thankful that the zombies guarding the Ghost Tower are slow-moving zombies and cannot catch up with them.

Ed's pupils flashed with fear.

Failed!

Those damn barbarians!

As long as they can be brought into the Plague Land, everything will be left to them...

That's it?

Ed held the rune crystal he obtained from Ma Xiaowan Tianli's mercenary group tightly in his hand and ran forward wildly.

"Chi chi chi..."

The vines ahead gave way to a passage that went straight forward.

It's too late for Ed to regret it now.

He only felt happy in his heart.

He was extremely glad that he spent 500,000 imperial bunnies to buy these three rune stones.

otherwise……

Even the demonized barbarian team of more than a hundred people was completely wiped out in this forest.

What kind of life can their players still have?

In the distance, above the Ghost Tower.

Looking at the hell-like scene below, Ma Xiaowan took a deep breath.

A terrible disaster.

She saw with her own eyes how the barbarians were wiped out.

After being dragged into the vine underground, the barbarians completely disappeared and became the nourishment of the giant tree.

Seeing a group of barbarians running away in panic, Ma Xiaowan frowned and asked: "Lord Fang Heng, aren't we going to chase them? Just let them go like this?"

"Um."

Fang Heng nodded, "It's okay, let them go."

At first, Fang Heng also thought about eradicating the root cause.

However, after careful consideration, I found that we are currently in a trial mission, and blindly killing players may cause changes in the trial.

If you wait and suddenly the trial game time is deducted, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Just to be on the safe side, let's spare their lives.

Besides, keeping them has other uses.

Fang Heng gently rubbed his shoulders and waved his hand in the distance.

The alienated crystals that exploded after killing the demonized barbarians were integrated into the marks on the back of the hand.

[Tip: Players obtain second-level alienation crystals*12].

Fang Heng nodded and said to Ma Xiaowan: "Let's go, come with me and take a look."

…

Outside the Plaguelands.

After learning that the Plague Land was on fire, Lord Blount led the other two lord guard groups to take the lead in quickly supporting the sacred tree.

They were the first batch, and more lord guards were arriving from behind.

Along the way, the lords were extremely anxious and kept urging the team to move faster.

Arriving at the outskirts of the Plague Land area, Lord Blount and his party stopped.

About ten minutes ago, the fire gradually stopped halfway.

Unlike during the day, the giant tree in the center of the vine forest bloomed with a faint cyan light in the dark.

The way ahead of everyone was blocked by layers of vines and tree roots.
