Chapter 99: Calico Cat
"Who are those beside them? Is it another case of the Monkey King imposter?"
Zhai Cai, Zhang Yuanqing, Zhao Chenghuang, and Sun Miaomiao all jumped back, creating distance and adopting a defensive stance!
Only Guan Ya remained motionless, her tone unchanged, "Don't panic, these two are the real ones!"
She turned to look at the nearby Tianxiaguihuo and Hongjige, her gaze sharp, "Those are the imposters. I've been watching them. Hongjige and Tianxiaguihuo haven't left my sight. On the contrary, those two seemed to have emerged from behind the bushes!"
Tianxiaguihuo didn't squat down, remaining standing and alert. If fake versions of himself and Hongjige appeared, he would immediately warn them, instead of waiting for the imposters to be in contact with his teammates for more than half a minute, until Hongjige was done with his 'business' before warning them...
Zhang Yuanqing reacted and shifted his posture, adopting a defensive stance towards the arriving Tianxiaguihuo and Hongjige!
Zhai Cai was one second faster than him, shouting, "They are two wooden puppets. Fire Master, burn them!"
Hongjige clenched his palm, a crimson fireball condensing in his palm, becoming increasingly dense. He rushed forward a few steps and threw the fireball with all his might!
Immediately after, he clenched his hand!
The high-temperature fireball suddenly exploded, turning into a rain of fire points covering the two imposters and the surrounding area within a few meters.
Giving the imposters no room to dodge!
"Puff puff puff," the fire points pierced the two imposters, the terrifying heat burning them into two charred, smoking wooden charcoals!
"That's it?" Hongjige proudly put his hands on his hips, "I thought they were powerful, but they turned out to be two fragile pieces of wood!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground of the manor "rumbled" and shook, the lawn and flowerbeds cracking open, revealing black, moist soil. Thick tree roots popped out of the cracks, brandishing wildly into the sky. At the same time, saplings sprouted from the soil in the flowerbeds on both sides of the cobblestone path leading to the gate, quickly growing into two graceful tree people, their features delicate and beautiful, as if carefully carved by God.
Their hair was lush green leaves! The two tree people spoke, the one on the left with a cold and glamorous voice, the one on the right with a clear and crisp voice, "Trespassing on the main courtyard, stealing the master's spiritual plants, courting death, courting death."
"Bad guys, disturbing my sister and me from sleeping." Having said that, the wildly brandishing tree roots bent together, aimed at the crowd at the entrance of the villa, and shot down like javelins!
Hongjige and Tianxiaguihuo stepped forward, one condensing two large fireballs with a diameter of three meters and smashing them towards the two tree people, the other condensing crimson flames and slashing out a huge flame blade five or six meters long towards the sky!
After months of cultivation, Tianxiaguihuo's Crimson Flame Departure Fire Blade had already reached a proficient level. The scorching high temperature made Zhang Yuanqing and the others' faces burn, their eyelashes, eyebrows, and sideburns curling up, emitting the unique smell of burnt hair!
"Bang!"
The flame blade struck the incoming roots, failing to destroy them and instead dissipating into streams of flames falling everywhere!
At the same time, Guan Ya also took out her bronze ancient sword and slashed out sword energy one after another!
The sword energy of Five Elements Metal overcoming Wood was more restrained against the roots than the flame blade, but the result was the same. The sword energy, which should have been able to cut through metal and break jade, only slashed out dense sparks and failed to destroy them.
A loud "boom" came from the distance. The fireballs hit the two wooden sculptures, but a faint green light blocked them, and the Saint's attack had no effect.
Zhai Cai, who had already taken out his Knight Longsword, stood with his sword and said in a deep voice, "Get behind me!"
Bronze light lit up, constructing a illusory wall in front of the crowd.
"Bang bang bang!"
The roots, like long spears, struck the illusory wall, emitting muffled and powerful impacts!
The Wall of Protection shook violently, but Zhai Cai remained unwavering, his tall and straight back giving people a strong sense of security. While maintaining the Wall of Protection, he said in a deep voice, "The rules of this battle: prohibit plants from having self-awareness."
The roots that were frantically attacking the Wall of Protection suddenly shuddered like a man after climaxing, changing from firm to limp. Although they did not completely lose their activity, the attack was no longer a threat.
"Level 7 Wood Demon," Zhai Cai tested the enemy's level, removed the Wall of Protection, and jumped over the soft roots that were wriggling like octopus tentacles, rushing towards the two tree people!
He concentrated his power into his legs, and with a "bang," the ground cracked as the knight transformed into a stream of light that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, shocking the wooden-sculpted woman on the left!
The stream of light brushed past the wooden-sculpted woman and then turned again, crashing into the wooden-sculpted woman on the right!
In the eyes of the crowd, the bronze stream of light drew a fleeting "V" shape, with the two wooden-sculpted women at the ends of the "V".
Crack. Crack.
The two wooden sculptures broke in half at the same time, and the roots in the yard completely lost their activity and stopped moving!
"Solved."
Zhai Cai turned his wrist, making a beautiful sword flourish! He strode back, but after taking a few steps, his body suddenly stiffened, he clutched his heart, his face showing pain. His face turned a layer of bluish-black luster, and his lips were black and purple.
The knight's knees softened, he knelt down with his sword, panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead bulging!
The sudden change stunned everyone. New roots emerged from the ground, condensing into two wooden-sculpted beauties, exactly the same as before, but their aura was much weaker!
Cold and crisp voices echoed in the flowerbed: "Idiot~~Idiot, killing both of us at the same time will trigger the caster's curse. The curse left by the master is enough to kill a dominator! Sister, drag him down to be fertilizer!"
"You're the idiot, I've told you many times, it's poison, not a curse!" While the two wooden sculptures were talking, roots drilled out of the soil one by one, turning into long spears that pierced Zhai Cai's back!
Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing opened his inventory and summoned the Amethyst Shield. The long spears formed by the roots pierced the flying round shield and snapped instantly.
The Amethyst Shield reflected back and stuck in the ground!
"Get inside the house first!" Zhang Yuanqing roared as he rushed towards Zhai Cai, picked up the round shield, and adopted a defensive posture.
More and more roots broke through the ground and shot into the air like claws, as if they were being shot!
At this critical moment, Zhang Yuanqing ignored the hail of spears, used a shield bash to knock Zhai Cai unconscious, and flicked him back under the eaves!
Letting the long spears pierce his body, at the same time, a faint golden stream of water covered his whole body, condensing into a suit of armor!
"Ding ding ding ding," dense and crisp impacts sounded from behind him.
Sun Miaomiao and the others picked up the unconscious Zhai Cai and hurriedly fled into the house!
The Wood Demon, whose aura was weakened a lot but still had the power of a dominator, was famous for its strong endurance, and my suit was a three-second true man, most afraid of persistence.
Zhang Yuanqing weighed it slightly and gave up the idea of fighting, bent his legs and ejected, turning into a purple light and窜 into the house!
In addition to not being able to last, he was even more afraid of being cursed like Zhai Cai!
Even the knight, known for his strong physique and endurance, fell under the curse, let alone him, a level six.
