Chapter 73 Bitten, cut off
Ask a question, if a naughty naughty child stretched out his finger and pinched the straw so that you could not absorb half of the orange juice no matter how hard you tried, what would you feel like? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely be so annoyed that I couldn't help but grab the naughty child and beat him up and became a national treasure of the empire, making him foam and frothing next to him before he finished.
But now the reality is that I am actually the naughty kid who pinched the straw.
The energy of the earth vein is delicious orange juice, and the giant tree is using its roots as a straw to absorb. Since the giant tree is a natural creature and does not exist like a tree man, my special constitution is completely ineffective against it. Despite this, it is still possible to hinder the flow of the earth vein energy in the roots and cause the magic-filled tree roots to fall into a paralysis.
However, this tree is too big. The roots in front of it used to absorb energy from the earth veins are taller and thicker than the skyscraper. I can't affect everything at the same time - not to mention that after losing Tias, this guy has grown many new roots.
Although I was so anxious that I was sweating, I was powerless to do anything about it. These tree roots did not turn into ashes when I touched them lightly. Even if I could use my physique to hinder the flow of energy inside, it would take a long time. This period of effort was enough to let the giant tree breathe and free up his hands to deal with me, such as using the tree roots that did not connect the energy of the earth vein to tie me up and strangle me to death.
Like it is currently doing.
It is obviously not a good idea to fight against these numerous tree roots with thick arms. I didn't care that my physique might affect Tias, so I grabbed the arm of the ten thousand-year-old loli and dragged her away quickly. Normally, I shouldn't treat girls with such rough movements. The most suitable way to do it; but I was still holding the sniper rifle in my hand, and I couldn't use it at all, so I had to do whatever it was convenient.
The roots did not chase after me. After driving me away, they inserted them into the crystal ground one after another. A series of bright blue lights flowed from bottom to top on the surface of the roots like water patterns, which was obviously extracting energy from the ground.
If Emilyna was here, she could definitely cut off the tree roots with one sword and give fatal damage to the giant tree; but the person here was me. Apart from the sniper rifle in my hand, I only had a Type 95 rifle cross-body. It was a bit difficult for me to destroy the huge tree roots that even if the main tank gun was bombarded in front of me, even if there was a hole, it would appear.
What to do? Can I just watch the giant trees absorb energy and then use it to deal with the army on the ground, or even launch map cannon attacks on the entire city? No, I have to do something!
I picked up the 95-style and shot violently at the tree roots. Of course, I didn't see any reaction until I finished shooting a magazine. The size of this thing was so large that the rifle was infinitely close to zero in front of it, but I had no other way.
Maybe the gunfire was too noisy, maybe it was because I had touched it before, or maybe a hot shell happened to fall on my face, at all, lying at my feet, Tias, who was sleeping in beauty, slowly opened her eyes, but her eyes were empty and tidy, not like she had just woken up in a daze.
Then the girl suddenly exerted force and jumped up from the ground. Before I could figure out what was going on, she had already wrapped her arms around her neck and stretched her cherry mouth towards me.
What's the situation? Tens of thousands of years of emptiness and loneliness finally made the cucumber no longer satisfy you. Did you follow your instinct and start seeking the opposite sex nearby when you were ruthlessly extracted by plants? Please don't do this, Tias. I am not the legendary lolicus, nor a casual person.
But I'm not a human being at random... Uh, this sentence doesn't count.
It is undeniable that Tias's Gothic style dress does have a strange beauty, and such close contact made me unable to help but feel a thumping heartbeat. But I was superficial and obviously got something wrong: not all girls wrap around your neck and put their lips over and ask for a kiss, and she might want to bite you.
Especially when this girl is the true ancestor of the blood clan.
The face of Tias quickly disappeared from her eyes, and then the severe pain from her left neck and the fear of instantly figuring out what was going on made me tremble violently. I tried desperately to push the gray-haired loli in my arms, but her strength was far beyond my imagination, and she couldn't move at all when she pushed it up. Moreover, the severe pain quickly turned into a numb feeling like it was too electric, which made people unable to help but indulge in it and it was difficult to extricate themselves.
"Well, Zhou Yi, thank you for the hospitality." The disappearance of this feeling and the sweet voice in my ears made me almost lose consciousness. I hurriedly looked at the gray-haired loli with a little blood flowing from the corner of my mouth in front of me. "It's a pity that you are a rare demon-free constitution, otherwise I would definitely transform you, who is so destined to be my relative."
"It's better to avoid this. I have no interest in becoming a vampire or something!" I covered my neck, which had not stopped bleeding, and glared at Tias angrily, "What's the point of making a fuss when I pounced on me without saying a word? Shouldn't you just like to suck girls' blood?"
Upon hearing this, the gray-haired loli couldn't help but open her cute red eyes: "Why do you know my little hobby?"
Did I guess right? I immediately raised my hand and pointed at the team of tentacles tied to the edge of the green ocean where Emilyna was fighting in the distance: "Look, those girls are all kidnapped from the ground to provide you with blood."
"So that's it." Tias nodded with knowledge, "So, what's going on on the ground now? I was attacked by plants while preparing to absorb ground energy to heal my wounds. I have been in a coma since then, so it's not clear what happened during this period."
"The situation on the ground? It's a mess." I turned around and looked at Emilyna, hoping that the girl could find an opportunity to come and cut off the roots of the tree, but she obviously couldn't pull it away. "The plants tinkered with giant trees that covered the entire city and many subordinates, and were fighting fiercely with the human army. Sure enough, after getting the energy of the earth vein, the strength of these tentacle monsters was very different. Tias, can you help stop these plants?"
"The blood you offered to you has recovered a little bit of the weakened ones, and the culprit that caused all this is also a plant. I should be willing to fight with you and others." The gray-haired loli lit her little head gracefully agreed.
What kind of active dedication is that you pounce on me and bite me! Of course, I decisively swallowed it back into my stomach and tried to change my mouth quietly: "Yes, is that so good. So, can Tias, please blow all the roots in front of you into scum?"
"The other party absorbed my magic power before, and most of them had a certain resistance to my magic." Tias said, turning around and walking towards Emilyna. "This task should be handed over to Emilyna, and the miscellaneous soldiers will be handed over to me."
As the old monster who had lived for thousands of years, he almost made the most appropriate combat plan in an instant. Under my gaze, Tias quickly walked to Emilyna, greeted her, and then took two steps forward to attack the densely packed plants in front of him.
I thought Tias would use the legendary blood magic. After all, this girl is the true ancestor of the blood clan. It would be unreasonable to not come to a huge blood pool to melt countless plants in it, right? But the facts proved that this was just my wishful thinking as a petty citizen, because what the gray-haired loli threw out was not the blood-red light, but a large number of fireballs that were overwhelmed.
I decisively fell on the ground and chewed the mud.
"What's wrong, Zhou Yi?" Emilyna, who walked to me, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you learning to play flat ground wrestling in Lanyu?"
I can guarantee that the senior sister standing at the entrance of the cave would definitely sneeze hard.
"Why would Tias throw a small fireball? What about the promised magic for the blood clan??" I didn't bother to get up and pointed to the gray-haired loli who was doing plant barbecue in the distance and said loudly, "I can't help but return my expectations!"
"The blood clan magic is only effective for animals with blood, and it's a bit like that for plants. In addition, what Tias threw is not a small fireball, but a level 4-level fire-type spell."
Only Liu Tao would be interested in that kind of thing. For me, the colorful light thrown out by the old man with a white beard wearing a gray robe and holding a wooden staff is basically no different from the ultimate skill of the horse monkey soju who is wearing gorgeous clothes and beautiful short skirts holding exquisite metal staff while acting cute while fighting.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter what these things are." I shook my head and stood up and said, "Emilyna, please use your sword to cut off all the main roots of this tree that use to absorb the energy of the earth's veins!"
"Okay, leave it to me to deal with it." The blonde girl responded calmly, then raised the sword high above her head, "In this way, everything will be completely over."
Although many emerald green vines grew on the surface of the tree roots to stop Emilyna, these small obstacles were not a problem for the girl. She quickly cut off the tree roots in the gorgeous light and shadow effect, which also made the entire space shake violently.
The giant tree collapsed, and its broken roots turned into colorful light spots and dissipated in the air, looking extremely beautiful.
