"Carter, you'll deal with it!" Enzo ordered.
Knight Carter nodded, and the iron clawed demon under his crotch was in tune with his master, so he immediately launched a charge. Knight Carter also drew out the cross sword and ignited an orange-red flame all over his body.
"Iron Blood Cross Slash!"
Knight Carter's eyes were calm, the cross sword swept through mid-air, and the flame-like fighting spirit formed a cross, and launched an attack with the basic swordsmanship of the Iron Knight Academy.
Click!
A crack came from the twisted tree. The crocodile monster was huge, but its movements were very flexible. The thick limbs crawled like geckos, avoiding the cross slash, and at the same time rushed forward.
Sigh!
The crocodile monster opened its bloody mouth, and Knight Carter immediately swung his sword and slashed it away. His hard teeth rubbed against the cross sword, making a harsh sound. The crocodile monster fell to the ground, but stood up in a humanoid way.
Gululu!
A strange sound came from its abdomen, and then it opened its mouth and vomited a ball of mucus. It was actually wrapped in a broken standard cross sword, and it was also inlaid with red crystals.
"It's Edmund's weapon!" Carter's eyes narrowed, and a trace of anger rose on his face.
The weapon belonging to the companion appeared in the crocodile monster's belly, so it is basically certain that Edmund has been killed and even his body was eaten by the crocodile monster.
After the crocodile monster spit out the broken cross sword, it actually stretched out its front paws and grabbed the hilt of the sword in everyone's amazing eyes.
"Iron Blood... Cross Slash..."
A strange sound came, and the crocodile monster held the cross sword, waving it in a very good manner like a rune knight, drawing a cross in the air and slashing at the Knight Carter.
Bang!
Knight Carter reacted very quickly, swung his sword and slashed out a sword energy, shattering the crocodile monster's cross slash.
"Three Flame Slash..."
The next moment, the crocodile monster waved the cross sword again, and this time, its movements became even more weird, and even a raging flame ignited all over its body, turning into three streams of fire and attacking wildly.
Knight Carter's pupils immediately shrank, and he pulled off his shield and blocked him with his backhand.
Bang!
Three streams of fire hit the shield, and then exploded with a bang. The scorching flame energy dissipated, causing the surrounding air to appear orange. The Knight Carter, who was hiding behind the shield, had a look of ugly expression on his face.
Three Flame Slash, Eymond Knight's own skills are also his strongest combat skills!
"Damn beast!" Knight Carter roared, threw away the shield in his hand, and his eyes were filled with surprise and anger. The cross sword in his hand was raised horizontally, level with his shoulders, and suddenly a violent sword energy was cut out at the next moment.
brush!
It seemed as if the air was torn apart, and the sword was so powerful that it cut the crocodile monster in front of it in half.
In place, Knight Carter's chest was fluctuating and panting. A sword energy just now belonged to his strongest attack method, which was used at most once a day, and it was extremely burdened on his body.
The crocodile monster was cut into two pieces, and green juice flowed out from the cut.
"Are the creatures born from the twisted tree?" Enzo walked forward and looked at the corpse of the crocodile monster.
The form of this crocodile monster is very similar to the larvae found in the fruits of the twisted tree, so it is likely that the creatures nurtured by the twisted tree will enter the state after entering the complete body.
Enzo bent down and reached into the crocodile monster's abdomen.
The green blood was a little sticky, like tree juice. In the crocodile monster's body, Enzo quickly discovered an organ similar to a stomach sac and found several broken metal fragments inside.
"It's Eymond's armor." On the side, Knight Carter picked up a piece of metal and saw the blurry patterns on it. His expression became a little dim.
It is basically certain that Eimmond has been eaten by the crocodile monster.
"Trag this monster back to the camp!" Enzo stood up and ordered to the two rune knights.
The twisted jungle seems calm, but in fact it is full of unknowns and dangers. The pioneer team has disappeared before, so Enzo did not dare to be careless at all. He decided to drag the crocodile monster back to the camp first and then consider other things.
Then, the squad dragged the crocodile monster back to the camp.
"Why can it make human sounds?" In the largest tent, Enzo looked at the corpse of the crocodile monster on the ground, his eyes flashed with gloss, and a hint of doubt appeared on his face.
"Can this monster gain his own abilities after eating Eymond?"
Enzo narrowed his eyes and thoughts arose in his mind. Based on what happened not long ago, we can learn that the crocodile monster has the ability to emit human language, and can use the cross sword, or even release fighting skills.
"Chip, bioname: Bionic crocodile!"
According to speculation about crocodile monsters, Enzo named it: Bionic Crocodile Monster. This creature was born from a twisted tree. It was initially inferred that they had the ability to crack prey genes. Therefore, after eating Eymond, they could master the combat skills and abilities that were originally rune knights.
......
Outside the camp, on a twisted tree in the distance.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes stared at the scene ahead. It was a bionic crocodile. The originally green body merged with the night sky, as if it turned into a shadow.
"External...brain..."
The bionic crocodile's throat trembled, making a female voice, and the twisted trees around it swayed slightly.
The entire twisted jungle is like a huge net. The message is transmitted in a special way through the meridians between trees. Through the eyes of the bionic crocodile, deep in the jungle, a huge twisted tree is quietly watching the camp scene.
It was a giant twisted tree comparable to a castle.
Judging from its appearance, it is no different from other twisted trees, but it is countless times larger in size. The only difference is that it has such a human-like face on the surface of its thick trunk.
"After waiting for so long, have you finally arrived?"
On the surface of the giant twisted tree, a strange smile appeared on the human face and murmured, "Come here quickly, I can't wait to get everything from you!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!......
The faint sunlight projected onto the earth through the gaps between trees.
In the camp, the Rune Knights cleared everything around them and then continued to explore the mission. Enzo rode the dark horse turned into by Svein and walked at the front of the team.
After experiencing the bionic crocodile incident at night, Enzo is full of vigilance about the twisted jungle.
The jungle was still terrifyingly quiet. Apart from a large number of twisted trees around, only a few serrated grasses can be seen on the ground occasionally, waving serrated leaves to drive out the invaders.
"It seems that not all twisted trees can breed bionic crocodile monsters."
The pioneer team walked forward, and Enzo always paid attention to the surroundings. He found that the most plants in the depths of the twisted jungle were twisted trees, but the twisted trees that could nurture fruits seemed extremely rare.
Only when the body size reaches a certain level and the branches of the twisted tree will crocodile fruit grow.
Cut open the fruits, without exception, all of them are breeding unformed bionic crocodile monsters. Enzo is a little unable to tell whether these bionic crocodile monsters without "breaking shells" are plants or animals.
"The magical world!" Enzo sighed again.
The pioneer team walked along the way and found many strange plants around, some of which had appeared in Herbert's laboratory, but more were new species.
Enzo collected them one by one as new plant samples.
These unknown plant samples can be exchanged for merit after being brought back to the tower. For everyone, the expedition is a coexistence of danger and opportunity. Every bit of merit represents magic stones and resources.
"Alarm! High-energy creatures are found ahead!"
In my mind, the sound of the chip sounded, and the jungle ahead swayed slightly. The bionic crocodile monster, like a shadow, rushed out in vain and rushed towards Enzo fiercely.
Bang!
On the ground, the shadow turned into a long whip, whipping the bionic crocodile monster up.
Shadow Whip!
One of the pre-position abilities of solidifying witchcraft, after Enzo completely mastered the first-level wizard [Shadow of Ghost], the twelve shadow witchcraft seemed to have become part of his body, and could be released at any time without casting spells.
After the bionic crocodile was knocked away, it immediately turned into a shadow and disappeared in place.
"Shadow Rune?" Enzo's eyes flashed, and a light blue color floated in his eyes. The outline of the bionic crocodile monster appeared. It did not actually disappear, but just merged with the surrounding shadows.
Around the twisted jungle shaking.
Bionic crocodile monsters drilled out, and Enzo could feel a trace of rune aura from their bodies. It was obviously these bionic crocodile monsters that had eaten the corpses of rune knights.
"Can the missing wizard team be attacked by these monsters?"
Enzo frowned slightly, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, but then he shook his head and said, "No, these bionic crocodile monsters have poor combat effectiveness, and the Rune Knights cannot handle it."
"What's more, there is also a guardian wizard Gram in the wizard team!"
Seeing a group of bionic crocodile monsters surrounding the pioneer team, Carter and three rune knights including draw out cross swords, and the rest of the rune knights also formed defensive formations.
boom!
At this time, a bionic crocodile opened its mouth and ejected a ball of fire.
Knight Carter waved the cross sword and smashed the fireball. At the same time, the twisted jungle around suddenly began to shake, and vines attacked everyone like poisonous snakes.
Brush! Brush! Brush!
The rune knights in the defensive formation swung their swords to release slashes, cutting off the vines coming around. Enzo, who was at the center of the team, calmly took out a bursting potion and threw it forward.
Bang!
Amid the explosion, a twisted tree was split into pieces, but this did not stop the vines from invading, and the bionic crocodile monsters also began to approach slowly, standing up like humanoid creatures.
"Shadow Spear!"
Enzo calmly looked at a bionic crocodile monster, and shadow spears condensed in front of him. After using the chip to calculate the angle and trajectory, all shot away.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Shadow Spear was extremely fast, and the body of the bionic crocodile was instantly penetrated, making strange sounds from its throat, like a roar of a beast before death.
And at this moment, a chip alarm sounded in Enzo's mind.
"Alarm! High-energy creatures appear in front of you, please stay away as soon as possible!"
The surrounding jungle swayed, as if the earth was trembling, and a huge figure appeared in front of it, with a height of a castle, waving its thick branches.
"Kaen is dead! You actually killed my Kaen!"
The deafening sound was like a roar of a giant beast. In the astonishing eyes of everyone, a terrifying twisted tree demon slowly appeared, covering the front like a shadow.
Enzo's pupils shrank, and a shock rose in his heart.
It was a giant tree as huge as a castle, with a thick trunk of more than thirty meters in diameter, with eyes and mouth on the surface, like a human face, and whip-like vines hanging down, forming a huge canopy.
And in the center of the lush tree umbrella, there are clusters of green mucus.
Each ball of mucus is wrapped with a mass of human brain, and the blood vessels are connected to the branches, and they have long been integrated, looking disgusting and weird.
"You are...Enzo?"
After the twisted tree demon appeared, he slowly spoke, "I recognize you, Gustav's disciple, the third-level apprentice who won the coordinates for the academy in the blood fight in the secret realm, has he been promoted to a wizard now?"
Enzo was shocked when he heard the words of the twisted tree demon.
"Why do you know these things?" His eyes were stern, and suddenly his thoughts flashed. He looked at the face of the twisted tree demon's surface, took a breath of air, and said in surprise, ": Could it be...you are Gram Wizard!?"
Before exploring the Twisted Jungle, Enzo had obtained information about the missing squad, and the face on the surface of the Twisted Drove Demon's backbone was very similar to the wizard and Guardian Gram of the missing squad.
"Gram? That's right, that's exactly my name!"
The twisted tree demon seemed to be thinking. After a moment, a branch pointed to the canopy and slowly said, "I have too many memories, they are all stored in my brain. Maybe I was a wizard, but now it is obviously not."
The inexplicable words were spoken in the mouth of the twisted tree demon.
Enzo felt his scalp numb, and some speculation flashed in his heart. The chill couldn't help but rise from his spine. He took a breath of air conditioning and looked at the canopy above the twisted tree demon's head.
Among the lush branches and leaves, mucus wraps the brain one by one.
"Are those who are the brains of the missing pioneer team members?" Suddenly, such a thought came to Enzo's mind. The originally unconscious twisted tree evolved into a smart creature because of the human brain.
"You killed the wizard Gram!" Enzo said with a serious look.
"Kill? No, I've never killed anyone." The twisted tree demon spoke slowly, denying Enzo's statement, and said, ": This is just a fusion, an evolution towards a higher level of life!"
"Young people, we are different."
The vines around the twisted tree demon swayed, and the bionic crocodile monsters around them returned to their protection as if a young man had returned to his nest, and then said quietly, "You are still very young, and you have less than a hundred years of embarking on the journey of a wizard. There are countless possibilities in the future."
"But I'm different!"
"As a 300-year-old human, even a formal wizard, my life is about to end, and there is no possibility of being promoted to a second-level wizard."
