Bab 29: Materials
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"I've been discovered!"
The Crying Tree Demon also reacted. Looking at the incoming fireball, the tree monster controlled its branches to quickly form a barrier in front of it.
At the same time, a sharp sound came out of the tree demon's mouth.
At this moment, Noah also understood why it was called the Crying Tree Demon.
The tree demon's cries instantly resounded through the forest. The sinister cries made Noah's hair stand on end, and when the sound entered his mind, he could even feel a burst of pain.
Even Noah's fireballs seemed to have been affected by the sound waves and shrunk.
Then, the fireball hit the barrier erected by the tree demon. In an instant, the barrier made of countless branches was penetrated.
Seeing this, the tree demon's wrinkled face showed a look of horror.
The next moment, the fireball hit the trunk of the tree demon, and the corrosive flames quickly spread.
The tree demon let out an ear-piercing cry again.
In less than a minute, the tree demon's body was surrounded by a demonic purple-black Flame. The tree demon twisted its body crazily in the flame, and its gloomy old face looked even more terrifying under the contrast of the flame.
Noah did not expect his fireball to be so effective. He thought that the tree demon would be difficult to deal with, but one fireball seemed to be enough.
However, just in case, Noah cast another corrosive fireball.
With this attack, the tree demon lost all signs of life.
It did not take long for the tree demon to stop moving.
As for the Raven, it had already disappeared when the first fireball hit the tree demon.
The flames burned for a while before slowly stopping under Noah's control. Noah walked in front of the tree demon and looked at the burnt tree demon. Noah scratched his head in embarrassment.
Just now, he had been worried that he would not be a match for the tree demon, so he had released magic with all his might. Who would have thought that the tree demon would be so weak?
It could not even withstand a single fireball. Not only did it fail to resist, but its entire body was also burned by the flames.
"Is a burnt trunk still useful?" Noah muttered to himself.
"It should be useless if I'm not wrong.
"Right, there's also the core." Although the trunk was useless, he still had the core.
According to normal circumstances, the tree heart should be born in the body of the tree demon. Then, Noah used a wind blade technique to cut the trunk of the tree demon, and the trunk split open.
A green light appeared in Noah's field of vision.
Noah stepped forward and pushed aside the broken branches. A diamond-shaped crystal was lying on the ground, emitting a green fluorescent light.
"This should be the core of the tree."
Noah heaved a sigh of relief. The core was not damaged. Otherwise, he would have wasted so much effort.
Unfortunately, the trunk of the tree demon was useless, so he could only find another tree demon.
However, just as Noah's thoughts fell, he felt the earth begin to tremble inexplicably.
"An earthquake?" Noah did not know what was going on and looked around.
In less than half a minute, a few tall figures darted out of the forest. Noah fixed his eyes on them and saw that they were actually a few Crying Tree Demons running toward him.
However, they were different from the tree demon he had destroyed. These tree demons could walk like humans, and they were unusually fast.
Furthermore, these tree demons were even taller than the one he had destroyed! It was as if many giants were charging at him, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling!
Only then did Noah react. The tree demon's cry just now was not only a means of attack, but also a way to transmit information. These tree demons must have received the message and rushed over.
Noah counted. There were seven Crying Tree Demons surrounding him and closing in on him. Some of the tree demons were already waving their branches at Noah.
Seeing this, Noah immediately cast a spell, and several wind blades were activated, cutting off the attacking vines.
However, Noah did not look happy. He could not be surrounded by them, he had to run!
Noah turned and ran.
The tree demon behind him was in hot pursuit, but fortunately, it was not as fast as Noah.
While running away, Noah was thinking about what to do.
He still had enough magic power, and with the power of the corrosive fireball, he was confident in dealing with any one of the tree demons. However, facing seven at the same time, he could only attack one, so he could not fight them head-on.
It was a pity that he did not know any group attack spells. That was something that could only be mastered by a second-grade mage. He was not even a first-grade mage.
The only AoE magic that could deal damage was probably the icicles, the frost breath, and the corrosive fireballs.
"There it is!" Noah suddenly thought of a way.
"I don't have any AoE spells, but I can make use of the terrain!"
Therefore, Noah ran back the way he came, only hoping that the way he thought of would work!
Soon, Noah returned to the swamp with the seven tree demons.
After crossing the swamp, Noah hid in the grass.
After a while, the seven tree demons also arrived at the swamp.
However, Noah suddenly disappeared, and the seven tree demons began to search.
"Now!"
When the seven tree demons were close to the swamp, Noah jumped out and instantly released a frost breath. A cold air swept around, and the seven tree demons became slow under the influence of this cold air, as if in slow motion. However, because the range of the release was too wide, it did not cause any substantial damage to them.
However, Noah did not expect the frost breath to cause any damage. It was enough as long as it restricted the movements of the tree demon.
Then, he gathered fireballs again without holding back. This time, three fireballs were formed. Although each one wasn't as powerful as the one Noah had gathered, the number was up.
"Go!" The fireball was shot out with a whoosh.
However, it was not aimed at the tree demon, but at the swamp in front of him.
The moment the fireballs hit the swamp, the miasma in the swamp was instantly ignited by the three fireballs.
After a series of sizzling sounds, the poisonous gas in the entire swamp pool instantly exploded.
In an instant, the flames soared to the sky and the raging flames instantly swallowed the seven tree demons.
Screams rose and fell one after another. It was extremely terrifying.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Noah quickly added a few icicles and let the tree demons experience what it meant to be in a world of ice and fire!
As they struggled, some tree demons seemed to want to die with Noah, and countless vines instantly attacked Noah.
"Ground guardian!" The spell he inherited from the giant bear was finally used. A rock armor suddenly condensed on Noah's body, and the vine hitting Noah's body was like a tickle.
Ten minutes later, the seven tree demons lost all signs of life in the fire.
Noah let out a sigh of relief and looked happy.
However, what came after was worry. He hoped that there were still useful trunks among these tree demons!
Fortunately, the Goddess of Luck was on Noah's side this time. Among the seven dead tree demons, Noah found two or three tree demons with relatively intact trunks.
Using the wind blade technique, he took down the most complete pieces and dug out the tree hearts of all the tree demons.
"Phew, I've finally gotten all the materials!" Noah let out a long sigh.
At this time, the sky had already darkened. Without any hesitation, Noah prepared to return, but suddenly, five unfamiliar men appeared in front of him.
