Chapter 75 The Soul Stealer's Conspiracy

Almost all living plants, including the "crawlers" and "tree people", have the weakness of fearing flames. The fire spreads rapidly with the help of the wind, burning more and more vigorously, and the entire ash forest is facing a huge threat of being burned.

Aware of this new crisis, Irmin Sur used telepathy to encourage all the activated trees and human allies around him to persevere and help it buy time to cast spells to put out the fire.

Joan also received a telepathy from "Old White", guessing that it might be using the 7-ring natural magic "controlling the weather" to summon heavy rain to extinguish the forest fire. Casting this spell is quite troublesome, and it takes at least 10 minutes to perform the spell-casting ceremony. During this period, Lao Bai must maintain his full concentration. A little distraction will cause the spell to fail, and all previous efforts will be wasted.

In the face of the alchemy bombs being thrown continuously, and the Shrek party taking advantage of the fire to attack, it is not an easy task to persist for ten minutes. Joan found that most of the surrounding activated plants, including the black oak man he lived in, were on fire, so he had to wave branches and slap each other, trying to extinguish the flames on each other. It is true that this fire fighting method is very inefficient, but they have no better choice.

The situation in the woods was deteriorating rapidly. For a moment, the thought of abandoning the tree and fleeing flashed through Joan's mind. However, after a short and intense inner struggle, he finally suppressed the thought of running away. Joan gritted his teeth, and said to himself in his heart: "No matter what, at least we must persist until Lao Bai finishes casting the spell, otherwise we will be too sorry for the Kandy family."

Under the command of Shrek, the army of ogres narrowed the encirclement, swung their clubs and knocked down the living trees trapped in the raging flames, and kept approaching Irmin Sur. Shrek took a spear coated with hot glue from the guard, raised it over his shoulder, and was about to throw the flaming spear at Ilmin Sur, when suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes behind him, followed by What was heard was a howling breaking wind.

The ogre lord's face changed slightly, he didn't care about throwing the javelin, and hurriedly looked back, and an Asa cavalry chased after him. Riders on horseback drew their bows and arrows, and rained arrows on the ogres gathered in the glade.

"Damn it!" Shrek cursed and dropped the javelin, freeing up his hand to pick up the shield to block the rain of arrows.

At this time, the cavalry team on the opposite side had approached within ten steps, put away their bows and crossbows and replaced them with swords, and rushed towards the nearby ogre. Magny, who led the cavalry to rescue, kept staring at Shrek. Taking advantage of the horse's galloping momentum, he raised his battle ax with both hands and slashed at the ogre lord's head.

Shrek raised his stick to block, the battle ax and the big stick collided with sparks, and the sound of gold and iron echoed in the forest.

Shrek took two steps back before gaining a firm footing, looking at Magny with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"You are the strongest human being Shrek has ever seen, but unfortunately you are only human."

"You're also the most cunning ogre I've ever seen, but only an ogre." Magny retorted, imitating Shrek's tone.

Shrek laughed loudly, swung his big stick and hit Magni with even more force.

This time, Magny lost the advantage of charging with his horse, and was defeated in the pure strength confrontation. After the battle ax and the big stick hit, his wrist felt numb, and he sat on the saddle shaking for a while, and almost fell off the horse's back.

Kandy rode a Deinonychus and followed closely behind his brother. Seeing that Magni was in danger, he hurriedly chanted a magic prayer, waved a ball of flames, and prevented Shrek from pursuing the victory.

Magni didn't waste the respite that his sister helped him win, and jumped off the horse. The holy emblem on his chest burst out with golden light, and he blessed himself with several magic spells to enhance his combat power, and then opened "Rage" with a roar. , the whole person seemed to have turned into a humanoid beast, his eyes were bloodshot and ferocious, and he rushed towards Shrek with his battle ax high up.

The divine art has comprehensively enhanced Magni's combat effectiveness. After entering the berserk state, his fighting spirit is boiling without fear of injury, and he will not lose the wind in the face-to-face confrontation with the mythical ogre lord Shrek.

For fear of accidentally injuring his brother, Canti dared not release attacking spells. After watching the battle for a while, he suddenly remembered that Qiao An was still in the forest, and quickly looked around. However, in this chaotic battlefield, there was no trace of Qiao An at all.

...

Joan was secretly relieved by the timely reinforcement of the Powhatan brothers and sisters. The ogre gangsters were flanked by Asa cavalry and activated trees back and forth, and they were too busy to take care of themselves. It seemed that they had no spare energy to interfere with Ilmin Sur's spellcasting.

As if the Goddess of Destiny was deliberately joking with him, Joan was about to relax her tense nerves when a stream of heat suddenly gushed out from her palm, and "Tears of God" sent out unprecedentedly strong mental fluctuations.

...

Mythological Induction: Discovery of the level 1 mythical creature "Soul Stealer"!

...

Joan was taken aback. The stronger the mythological induction, the closer the target is to him. If the distance is shortened to within the line of sight, the sensed information will become more detailed—it is no longer a general mythical creature, but will also give the target's information. Specific races. Joan had never heard of the creature "Soul Stealer", but judging from the vicious name, it might not be a good thing, it was probably an evil goblin.

Such a strong induction means that the "Soul Stealer" is close at hand, but where is it hidden?

With curiosity and anticipation, Joan stood on the black oak tree and looked around. Out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a black shadow, and his heart skipped a beat.

The black figure looked like a large bat, gliding at low altitude under the cover of the tree shade, passing silently over the heads of the two warring parties, and finally landed on the canopy of Irmin Sur.

"That guy is the 'Soul Stealer'? It's sneaking up on Lao Bai, what does it want to do..." Joan stared at the black figure, feeling a strong sense of foreboding in his heart. After a little thought, he approached the canopy of Il Minsur with the "Hand of the High Mage" holding a knife.

The Soul Stealer's vigilance was beyond Joan's expectations. It seemed that he caught a glimpse of the reflection of the dagger, and suddenly turned his head to look this way. Joan's heart shuddered, and he quickly withdrew the "Hand of the High Mage" and hid the dagger in the bushes.

The Soul Stealer looked around suspiciously. It took a long time before he was convinced that there was no danger nearby. The cold light he had just glimpsed might just be an illusion caused by excessive tension, so he looked back and took out a gallbladder-shaped copper bottle from his waist pocket Carefully unscrew the cork.

About 20 yards away from the ancient tree "Irmin Sur" where the Soul Stealer is, Joan hid on the black oak tree, secretly observing the Soul Stealer's every move, and at the same time remote-controlled the "Hand of the High Mage" to it again. Move behind. This time, he didn't hold a metal weapon in his hand, presumably it wouldn't arouse the other party's vigilance.

Today's festival, it's not a serious festival, and it's not easy to wish anyone a happy holiday, so let's add another chapter.
