221 Messi? Messi?
Daren's proposal was equivalent to having made concessions, and he quickly received everyone's consent. Even the most reluctant Barbara didn't have the nerve to say anything more.
So they entered the black fog as usual, found a suitable place, buried an olive tree seed and watered three cups of inferior holy water.
This time Jima seemed cautious... and even tasted it lightly with the tip of her tongue to confirm that this was the lowest-quality holy water. The quantity was just right and the three-square-meter cup, not a drop of it.
"Roar--" When the holy tree sprouted, a familiar roar came from the black fog. Everyone was excited and subconsciously took a fight!
But Bart's bow was always attracted but not fired, and Barbara just held the staff without chanting a spell. Everyone, including Old Remitt, did not take any next move. Instead, they took a step back and looked at the brunette boy holding a shield and a sword. This was what Daren himself asked, and this time he let him deal with the enemy alone!
As a "veteran" who has had experience in planting holy trees for one month, Deren was not at all panicked against a small group of monsters attracted by green leaf olive trees.
The brunette boy was standing steadily in the direction of the roar. After a moment, a total of seven figures of 1 large and 6 small were poured out from behind the rolling black fog.
The big one is the trolls - almost every group of evil existences attracted by the green leaf olive tree will have a thick skin or a blazing blood troll, which is the biggest threat to the saplings of the holy tree. In addition, it will also be accompanied by some low-level ghost fire bone wolf, headless skeleton and other bone monsters.
Speaking of headless skeletons, only Daren is present. These things appear more and more frequently in the late stage of the jihad, even surpassing the ghost fire bone wolf and becoming the most common cannon fodder on the evil wizards! Many people speculate based on this that this human-shaped bone monster may be transformed from corpses left by adventurers on the battlefield, so it will increase more and more over time.
[Moonlight Waltz] Resurrection of people with just your head undoubtedly gives adventurers great confidence. The side effect is that many adventurer teams will give priority to rescuing their teammates' heads when they encounter danger, while their headless bodies are randomly abandoned on the evil and dark land...
This time, the one who came with the trolls is the ghost fire bone wolf for the time being.
Headless skeletons are rare at this stage.
Six gloomy bone wolves dodged behind the troll's big butts, and sinisterly spurted miserable green fireballs at the holy tree seedlings from different directions.
Daren was guarding next to the seedlings of the holy tree, lifted his shield, and slid his steps skillfully. Six fireballs fell on the wide shield surface in no order and extinguished.
He dealt with it very easily, of course because of his experience, but also because of the evil wizard's crystal ball in his belly! This low-level attack magic will always be sucked away from the natural elements contained in it when it touches him. Without the support of the natural elements, the fireball magic is like an ordinary six small flames. For Deren, blocking them is no different from blocking six matches, although this is not the case in others' eyes.
"He blocked it all!" This was Jima, waving her little fists and cheering in a low voice.
"It's pretty good to block it," Barbara muttered, "but he is a warrior. He has no means of ranged attacks. He wants to protect the saplings and cannot get too far away from the saplings. How can he attack the trolls?"
Bart didn't say anything, but his vicissitudes of eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was expressing the same doubts.
If the trolls were not concerned, these big guys who were as tall as 5 meters and thick in skin would sooner or later walk to the saplings and trampled the saplings with one foot... But if Daren ran to attack the trolls, the bone wolf would also burn the saplings to ashes from other directions! It was originally a team task, and one person was struggling to deal with them. How would this young mercenary resolve this contradiction?
On the other side, Old Remit stared at the huge figure that was approaching, rubbing the silver-plated bone stick in his hand uneasy. For some reason, he seemed a little irritated, constantly pulling the fluffy white hair that had just grown out of his body, paced back and forth, muttering, as if he was restless.
And Daren quickly gave the answer with his actions... He stood there without moving.
Barbara said one thing right. Daren lacks the means of long-distance attack. If the bone wolf does not rush up, he will not be able to do anything to them... But as long as Daren is guarding the sapling, the bone wolf's fireball will not hurt the sacred tree seedlings. Daren just stood calmly, silently watching the small group of monsters approaching!
Until the distance between the two sides was so close that it was only three meters left, and the bone wolf had just sprayed the fireball together, Daren suddenly moved!
He stepped on the ground, and the magic spider silk boots provided sufficient feedback, as if stepping on the wind. The three teammates watching the game next to him felt a flash in front of him. The next moment he found that Daren had rushed behind the troll! He was shaking his sword, and the bone wolf, as cannon fodder, was vulnerable to the exquisite sword strengthened by three alloy formulas, and was quickly cut into pieces.
But at this time, the troll was only one last step away from the seedlings of the holy tree!
The image of the slender sapling was reflected in the blood-red eyes of the troll... It opened its mouth, seemed to roar with a rumbling grin, and raised its thick and plump right leg. Because the distance was too close, the spectators on the side could even see sparse white leg hair floating in the wind!
"Prepare to retreat." Bart sighed, patted the two girls on the shoulders, and signaled them to evacuate.
This planting operation undoubtedly failed... Although I don't understand why Daren insisted on such a farce and didn't know what he wanted to prove, fortunately the loss was not big! Just as I threw a olive tree seed and three small cups of inferior holy water... Anyway, these two things were not expensive.
However, the next moment.
"Dong!"
It was as if a war hammer was hitting the bronze bell, and it was like a meteor hitting the mountains. The dull sound made everyone who had turned their heads and was about to leave suddenly jump!
Looking back quickly, Bart saw a scene that puzzled him.
It turned out that after Daren cut down the wolves, he ran back and held up the shield high to block the troll! The loud noise was the impact of the troll's big foot stepping on the saplings and being blocked by the shield! When Bart turned around, he happened to see two huge waves of air slowly dissipating, and immediately understood that Daren was using the [blocking] skill.
[Have this kid given up yet?]
What Bart puzzled was not that Deren could stop this. In fact, before everyone fought together, Deren often acted as a "stumbling block". The trolls kicked Deren away, because the first kick would be offset by the [blocking] skill, and the second kick would take effect! In the case of team combat, as long as Deren slowed the trolls again and again, the others would naturally have more time to attack the trolls, and they would kill them before they could reach the holy tree...
But this time everyone agreed that they would not take action.
If no one helps Deren, what's the point of blocking this? With another kick, he will be kicked away soon, Bart is very sure of this.
However, Deren's next move was a move he had never done before.
He no longer held the shield with both hands, but suddenly held the shield and smashed it down! The shield of the Self-Defense Corps was originally a large inverted tower-shaped shield, and the sharp corners below were suddenly chiseled into the ground.
A dark light flashed quietly between the brunette boy's eyebrows. It was a symbol of the activation of the stars on the back of the mark. The stars were still [blocking] stars, but the way of flowing the war air changed. It was no longer flowing within the shield, but it was circulating between the shield and the earth, as if a bridge was established, connecting the two into a whole!
These were all done based on his own experience in "future memory", but they saved the time to explore again... And when Daren did this, the [blocking] stars on the back of the mark immediately shone brightly! The whole star became faintly bigger, and at the same time, the light of the stars also changed a little, and it looked different.
Daren knows what this means. Growing up represents the perfect mastery of stars, and the change of light is due to the mutation of skills...
Just like [Running] becomes [Shield Flying], after falling to the back of the mark, [Panel] also becomes [Copper Wall and Iron Wall].
"boom!"
The troll raised his foot and kicked the shield again, but Daren did not move at all, and no air waves were generated! In places where outsiders could not see, all the impact force poured into the ground with the bridge formed by the war energy, but it seemed like a grain of sand thrown into the river and sea, without any movement.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The troll went crazy. The seedling of the holy tree was clearly near in front of him, but it was just a damn shield! It was unclear about its mind and instinctively roaring and kicking the shield wildly, but this "little thing" was obviously inconspicuous, but it didn't move as if it was nailed to the ground. After a while, the troll's toes began to shatter one by one, blood flowing, but it still kicked tirelessly!
The transformed monster has long lost its mind and has only instinct.
Finally, the troll's foot bones broke with a crack, and his body shook, and he fell to the ground on his own.
With a loud bang, Daren suddenly put away his shield and jumped forward. The shiny strengthening sword in his hand aimed at the position of the troll's heart, ready to insert it.
But at this moment, a half-human tall figure suddenly rushed over and hugged Daren's arm!
"No!" Old Remitt screamed, "Messi? Messi? Is it you? Oh, my poor great-grandson, was it you who were transformed into this?"
Chapter completed!
