In addition, after being promoted to the third level, the spiritual intelligence of these dryads has also improved significantly, and they have begun to understand some vertical and horizontal techniques. Therefore, they will not fight one-on-one with monks unless they are forced to do so.
Zhao Shoushou was not clear about all these changes. After all, he had not been in the subcontinent for too long. During that period, he spent most of his time practicing in seclusion and being busy, and he still lacked the common sense of some niche people.
In his subconscious experience, he always believed that except for a few monsters who naturally like to live in groups, it would be difficult for these arrogant and maverick guys to complete a joint battle against the enemy.
Some wrong experiences will always bring some unforgettable lessons. Zhao Shoushou, who has always been cautious, will definitely suffer a loss this time, and it is inevitable to pay some price.
Deep in the dense forest, three third-level tree demons were walking opposite Zhao Shoushou from different directions. One of the tree demons was responsible for the front, and the other two were outflanking one on the left and the other on the right.
It was obviously to prevent the enemy from being alerted, lest the party find three tree demons of the same level as enemies at the beginning of the battle and then run away, which is also a good strategy.
People hunt animals, and animals are also hunters. This mutual hunting has started almost from the moment the world of cultivation began, and will continue.
The third-level tree demon can already break away from the shackles of the earth to a certain extent. Although it is difficult to compare with the monks and monsters of the same level, it is still a big improvement.
Since they were facing each other, one side came specifically to investigate, and the other side was deliberately besieging them. A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Shoushou had already met the tree demon in front of him and formed a confrontation.
The diameter of this tree demon is more than three feet, and even several adult men cannot hold it. Whenever it moves, a large number of branches and leaves are constantly shaking, and the sound is quite huge.
It is precisely for this reason that when the two were far apart, Zhao Shoushou had already discovered its existence, so he chose a relatively open place where the old god waited comfortably for the tree demon to arrive.
This is a gently convex upward hillside, and it belongs to the remaining veins of the Bluestone Mountains. The hardness of the stone has a certain restraint effect on the tree demon itself.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a tree demon with such a tall body should have grown for more than a thousand years. Such a long life is really enviable." Looking at the huge tree demon, something completely unrelated appeared in Zhao Shoushou's mind.
idea.
It is said that the long lifespan of plant monsters is probably one of their greatest advantages. Without any external damage, it would take at least five hundred years to go from a small sapling to successfully opening up spiritual wisdom and embarking on the path of spiritual practice.
to eight hundred years.
With a little bit of cultivation, you can enjoy the endless power transmitted from the earth's veins. It will take at least 1,500 years to advance from the first-level dryad to the third-level if everything goes well.
Whenever it reaches a new stage of cultivation, the body of the tree demon will undergo a revolutionary and straightforward upgrade to achieve the sublimation of life.
Even if a third-level tree demon no longer has any improvement in cultivation, it can enjoy at least three to five thousand years of life from promotion to death, which adds up to nearly ten thousand years, which is enviable.
Of course, all this is theoretical. After all, once a tree demon opens his spiritual wisdom and embarks on the path of cultivation, he will definitely not be able to continue to absorb the power of the earth's veins bit by bit to improve his cultivation.
From that moment on, the dangers they face will also increase significantly. In addition to the first time, there will also be searches and hunts from monks.
"Wow, wow!" The giant tree in front of me didn't know whether it had lived for three thousand years or five thousand years. When Zhao Shoushou was no longer retreating, it had no other active means except to use its long branches to launch a long-distance attack.
This is obviously completely different from its aggressive state.
"Are they waiting for the siege from other tree demons? Let's take action first and test their methods?" After some calculations in his mind, Zhao Shoushou quickly made up his mind.
"What does this tree demon brother want to do if he is neither advancing nor retreating here? Zhao is just passing through this place by chance and has no enmity with the tree demon clan. Why not let Zhao go?" He said
It started with a loud shout, trying to cause some shock.
"Hua Hua Hua" Unfortunately, apart from the swaying leaves, there was no response. This big tree seemed to have grown here.
"Since Brother Shudao insists on blocking someone's way here, Zhao is no longer polite. He can only see the real seal under his hands." Zhao Shoushou shouted loudly. Without further delay, the water gun turned into a figure.
It shot towards the dryad's abdomen.
The key point of the tree demon lies in the heart of the tree, but the heart of each tree demon grows in a different location. Zhao Shoushou had no way to determine it for a while.
However, the main branches near the roots of the dryad are also secondary critical points. If enough damage is caused at these locations, it will definitely be able to cause serious damage to it.
Now that the tree demon has advanced to the third level, he is fully aware of his own shortcomings. Facing the menacing water control gun, the large and small leaves and branches growing on the branches were twisted in a mess, and a woven wooden handle
The shield has appeared in front of you.
The shield looks like it is crudely made, but its quality is unquestionable, and there is more than one such shield. It actively attacks from four directions, obviously to keep the water control gun at a safe distance.
This is also the difficulty of the Dryad. A normal attack cannot even cause the slightest damage. Facing the Dryad, which is not too deficient in defense and offense, it is difficult to open the situation for a while.
In addition to passive resistance, at the beginning of the battle, the attack from the tree demon was naturally indispensable. There was a shaking on the ground, and a rapid rush from the ground was surrounding him with lightning speed.
Come.
Originally, Zhao Shoushou thought that the hard bluestone had no resistance at all. When this huge tree root was still more than ten feet away, it split into four again and attacked from four completely different directions.
Especially the moment he broke out of the ground, he was like four poisonous snakes, attacking his vital parts steadily and fiercely. If he was not careful at all, he would pay a price in blood.
"Hey, you're good to go, the Ecstasy Bell, turn." How could a monk who was always cautious in the face of possible attacks accidentally respond to a possible attack? A huge copper bell with intricate carvings rose up, spinning powerfully in the air.
Tree roots are at a safe distance.
At the same time, there were bursts of sharp sound attack force, which was like the sound of a copper bell rubbing against the air. The condensed force turned into a force that directly acted on the roots of the big tree, breaking it alive.
"So the intention was to besiege, to bully the few with more?" At this moment, the momentum coming from two directions outside the forest finally appeared in front of us, and two third-level tree demons, one on the left and one on the right, arrived at the predetermined position.
