The tree roots that filled the sky kept attacking everyone.
Every time it was hit by a bullet, the tree root seemed to feel pain and quickly retreated. However, it did not take long for it to return.
Smelling the smell of grass juice in the air, Zhang Qishan's gaze fell on the corpse on the opposite tree trunk.
He noticed that no matter how the tree branches waved, they seemed to subconsciously avoid the corpses.
"Adjutant, bring some men to open up the front line. Don't all rush together.”
Adjutant Zhang received the order and led ten personal guards to fight and move, slowly making a detour to the side.
In an instant, the number of tree roots that everyone faced decreased significantly. Some of the tree roots even became chaotic, as if they did not know where to attack.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou did not need Zhang Qishan's instructions and quickly led Xie Ling's men away.
Xishui came to his side." Lord Zeng, we met the old tree demon this time."”
"I heard from Master that many trees in this mountain had become spirits. Some of them were obedient, but the other part began to suck blood and eat meat.”
"If we want to deal with it, we can only take out its tree heart. That's a good thing.”
Zhang Qishan was deep in thought as he continued watching the battle.
In a three-pronged battle, the tree roots obviously could not handle it. Every time the tree roots were waved up, they would be beaten back before they could go far.
Seeing this, Zhang Qishan called Old Yang over." Old Yang, do you see the corpse on the other side?”
"Use your arrow to shoot down one for me.”
Old Yang nodded. He didn't even need to aim after drawing the bow and released the arrow instantly.
The arrow pierced through the dense defense of the tree roots and hit the hanging corpse through the gap.
Under the effect of inertia, the corpse swayed and fell.
However, something surprising happened. Just as the corpse was about to fall to the ground, it actually hovered in midair.
Zhang Qishan took this opportunity to see clearly that the neck of the corpse had been pierced by a thin tree root.
Previously, the distance between him and the tree had exceeded the range of his Golden Eyes, so he could only vaguely see some things. He did not expect this to happen.
"Oh no, Lord Zeng, this tree demon is stalling for time with us.”
Xishui also noticed this situation, and his expression changed drastically.
"Quick, quickly attack those corpses. They are being parasitized by the tree demons.”
"After all the parasitism is completed, every corpse can become a guardian puppet. It's invulnerable and very difficult to deal with.”
Zhang Qishan was very calm. The hidden trump card was the killing move.
Now that he had figured out the tree demon's methods, there was no need to delay.
"Adjutant, use your knife and cut off all the roots.”
Adjutant Zhang and the others heard the order, and a trace of excitement flashed in their eyes. They had long been suffocating.
The eleven of them quickly put away their guns and drew their steel daggers from their waists, covering each other as they charged forward.
Facing the attack of the tree root, Adjutant Zhang drew his saber to block it and retreated. The two bodyguards beside him took the opportunity to attack, and the tree root was instantly cut off.
The tree demon felt that its roots were damaged and began to wave its roots even more crazily. The attacks on the other two sides instantly weakened.
"Second brother, take some men and charge as well. Help us draw the fire from the tree roots.”
Chen Yulou nodded and signaled for Miss Hong to follow him. One of them was holding a small divine blade to cut through the thorns, while the other was a few steps behind, using a flying knife to harass the tree roots, attracting them again.
The pressure on Luo Laowai's hands was instantly reduced, leaving only a few tree roots in front of him that were still attacking randomly.
"Old Yang, go and command Luo Laowai's men to attack the corpses hanging on the trees with all their might.”
Didn't you want to hide your trump card? I'll force you to use it in advance now.
When Old Yang joined Luo Laowai's team, he did not need to do it himself. He only needed to provide the soldiers with the direction to attack.
Under Zhang Qishan's command, the three sides cooperated tacitly and forced the tree demon into a predicament.
Swoosh swoosh--
After resisting for a while, the tree demon finally faced reality. It kept all its roots to protect its trunk.
More than a dozen corpses instantly fell from the tree. These were all puppets that had completed parasitism.
As the puppets moved forward, Zhang Qishan's golden eyes finally came in handy, carefully observing them.
The bodies of these puppets were now completely filled with tiny tree roots. As the tree roots squirmed, the corpses moved like living people.
What was even more amazing was that these roots had clearly cut off their connection with the main branch, but they were still active, somewhat similar to the existence of clones.
Luo Laowai's soldiers launched a few rounds of attacks on the puppet, but it was to little effect.
The bullet hit the corpse, but it was like hitting half of steel. It could not penetrate at all.
Even if it was coincidentally shot into the puppet's body, it would be filled with tree roots and would be useless.
"Adjutant, you guys go. Block the puppets first. Don't fight head-on.”
Adjutant Zhang led his men to face the puppet head-on. The eleven of them cooperated with each other, but they did not fight the puppet head-on. They only fought around.
The others were not idle either. Those who were skilled went forward to help, while those who played with guns retreated from the front line to help treat the injured.
As the time spent fighting the puppets grew longer, Zhang Qishan's understanding of puppets became more and more thorough.
The roots in these puppets seemed to be the same and there was no difference, but in fact, there was a fundamental difference.
A small section of the tree root would never participate in controlling the puppet. Instead, it would always wander around.
Zhang Qishan took out a short knife and prepared to test it.
It couldn't be helped. After all, the others couldn't see the inside of the puppet.
