Tree Spirit.

Like the name they have, this kind of "organism" that is not known to be an animal or a plant often lives in a dense forest that is rarely visited. From its own nature, this kind of organism is a plant with mobility, and a small number of tree spirits even have a considerable degree of intelligence.

No one knows how the creatures such as tree spirits are produced, because they appear without any signs. For example, even if all plants of the same species grow in a forest, there may be only one tree that is a tree spirit - just like the phenomenon of people with excellent spell talents in the crowd, for the plant community, the tree spirits that appear by chance are their "spiters".

What is certain is that the tree spirit will retain its original plant characteristics, and then have different powers as it changes. A cactus-like tree spirit will not have the ability to walk because of changes. Similarly, even if it becomes a tree spirit, the apple tree will not grow a bomb.

In the pronunciation of the old saying, people at that time called this creature "Odward", meaning "animal plant" or "active green". This is just a general term used, and in some dialects, it is full of awe, such as "the guardian of the deep forest".

The reason why it is called this is because these plants with some animal characteristics have a very strong sense of territory. When any creature invades its territory, it will be attacked by this plant. Roots, vines, venom... Unlike animals, they also have their own means of fighting.

Yes, from the outside, most tree spirits look not much different from ordinary plants, but their personalities are not as gentle as those of the same species who cannot express their emotions. You can imagine what expressions the ancestors looked on when they met these plants that could move. Humans or other races in the wilderness often get chased and beaten by the tree spirit community when they enter the forest.

Seeing a large number of plants suddenly rushing out in front of me. The information stored in the brain of Curt popped up reflectively. Even if you don’t have to recall these complicated information, anyone who sees a plant that will move with their own consciousness will immediately reflect that it is a plant, a tree spirit.

However, if you say this, the plants in front of you are a little wrong. From experience, ordinary tree spirits will only grow in native forests. It is difficult to produce tree spirits in the land that has been greatly transformed for life, especially tree spirits of this size, which are even less likely to grow honestly in the house.

Boom-

The huge tree spirit obviously grew not long ago, and there was no trace of overgrowth of plants when the guards patrolled the surroundings of the building. The violent vines have now tied up most of the building, and the idle branches whipped the exterior walls. Every wave would make the building tremble.

"Don't attack. The mechanic gun is useless to such a guy!" Curt turned his head. At this time, the security officers wanted to attack the manic tree spirit. He immediately shouted, "Grosted, take your men out of this room! This building is no longer safe, and it may..."

At this moment, a vine as thick as a bowl rolled towards him. It was clearly the vine that had crushed the monster before, with extremely sticky stains remaining on it. If it was caught in it, it would undoubtedly be crushed. Curt hurriedly avoided the attack, and he didn't even have time to finish his words.

The vines swept across the mountain and hit the remaining wooden structure with a "bang!". The decayed wood could not withstand the full force of the alienated vines, and their eyes were broken into several pieces. The unsupported ceiling was completely torn apart, and debris crawling with spiders' webs fell down.

"Action quickly!"

Dodge a plank falling from the attic. Grosted urged his men to act as soon as possible. It is unwise to choose to be in a crumbling house and a tree spirit that is almost as big as the house. It does not require its full attack. Just demolish the building. It has already won.

When fighting against tree spirits, the best way is to distance and attack with weapons that can ignite it. Plants that cannot move will find it difficult to attack enemies outside the contact range, especially for tree spirits that suddenly appear in big cities. If they lose the protection of the jungle, they are a large target.

The guards did not dare to neglect and took action immediately. Many people were slightly injured in the battle before, and the decaying stairs became the biggest obstacle. For those colleagues who were injured in their legs, they could still act normally and help their colleagues. They slowly and orderly left the corridor on the second floor of the building.

The follow-up troops who came to support had arrived not long ago and saw the huge tree spirit that was inexplicably present in the city. They were stunned for a while. Despite this, they did not hesitate. Well-trained combatants restrained the raging plants in the distance, while the remaining personnel rushed into the building to help Grosted and others who were still trapped in the house.

While the artwork on the second floor went crazy, the same was true on the first floor. The scenes in the paintings came alive, and the crowds in the picture and monsters were destroying the house together. Unfortunately, although these monsters looked quite powerful, they did not have any combat power in essence, so they could only use sneak attacks as a way to fight.

The first layer of paintings rarely depict monsters' works, and their combat power is naturally even more vulnerable. Faced with these false enemies, the guards who were advancing neatly easily broke through the monsters' fragile defense line. After several flames flashed by, the monster's fragments and the paintings turned into ashes together.

Time is not long, and most of the room has been demolished by the tree spirit. Under its stormy attack, the rest of the room will not be destroyed long before it will be destroyed. At that time, the people who are still in the room will probably be buried underground by this pile of building materials.

The assistance of the support force increased the evacuation speed of the wounded. Before the tree spirit completely demolished the house, Curt, who was at the end of the team, successfully rushed out of the building's door. Behind him, there was only one frame left in the house that was once full of artworks.

Only then did Curt have the opportunity to take a look at the tree spirit that rushed out of nowhere, it was a vineyard tangled around the building. The dark green vines had already climbed over the remaining building body, and were now stepping up the pressure step by step, and it was soon able to crush it to pieces.

This plant looks like some kind of vine growing in the swamped areas of the Dark Continent, but it is as big as a big tree. The soft vine twists like a snake, trying to entangle the guards not far away who use mechanic guns to maintain suppression and shooting. However, the distance is too far, and his vine is difficult to work.

As it turned out, Grosted's decision to let the guards drive away the surrounding crowd before entering the house was prescient. In order to ensure that the nearby residents were not implicated, the guards also visited nearby houses from house to house and asked them to take temporary refuge in the safe area in the distance.

Now the garden owned by this small building has turned into ruins, and the vines rolled up all the building materials that rely on the scriptures and threw them to the guards' team gathered in the distance. The room originally was the center of the tree spirits, but now it has been destroyed so that only incomplete garbage is left.

This enemy is not solved by personal abilities. Even if dozens of guard officers have gathered around them, they only hold light weapons and it is difficult for them to cause effective damage to the tree spirits of the main body. As for throwing burning weapons, you must know that this is the city...

The development of the situation becomes difficult, just like trying to remove the tree spirits in the area without destroying a dense forest. The nearby buildings are its hostages. If you want to burn it with a torch, you have to think about whether it will affect the surrounding buildings.

If a team of magicians come to support it, the situation will get better. In addition to flames, they also master many spells used to deal with plants - freezing or toxins are good choices.

The problem is that if the security forces have always requested the heinously slow delivery process, the magician's support is likely to be unable to come tomorrow. Instead of relying on them, it is better to hope that the security officers present can think of a reliable way to eradicate the weeds.

But looking at the entangled expressions on the faces of the guards, the situation has become a quagmire, and their attacks can only barely suppress the moving vines. The ammunition shot out is meaningless to the huge tree spirit. It may not even feel the pain, and it will only retreat slightly because of the impact.

At this moment, Grosted felt a faint fragrance mixed in the air that was difficult to detect.

His nose wrinkled, and his intuition told him that the smell was floating out of the plant. As soon as he sucked it into his nose, he felt dizzy in his brain. His vision suddenly turned dizzy, and white flowers could be seen blooming at the roots of the plant in the blurred vision.

"Hey! Grosted, what's wrong with you?"

Standing beside him, Curt held the dizzy Grosted, the stout guard, trembling as if he was in the snow and ice. He had noticed clusters of flowers that began to appear at the root of the tree spirit, but his reaction to toxins was not as sensitive as Grosted. Now seeing Grosted with strange symptoms, he realized that the fragrance of flowers was implicitly toxic.

Relying on Curt, Grosted vigorously and said to his colleagues who were surrounding him: "Don't get close to the house, that thing is poisonous!"

Taking a deep breath, he shouted again with the remaining strength: "Clear all personnel in the surrounding area!"

Unfortunately, Grosted's discovery was still a bit slow, and many guards around him also showed dizziness like him. They were exhausted and lost their ability to continue to move, falling down one after another, and even foaming at the mouth.

The toxin-spreading tree spirits will not care about the safety of these people. The white flowers start to bloom from the roots and eventually gradually extend to the vines.

Beautiful flowers have thorns, and the fragrance of the flowers is poisonous. (To be continued)...
