Chapter 80 Stalking and Assassination

The tragic scene shocked Wu Ge for a moment. She was caressing a tender green leaf when she froze. After staring blankly for a long time, she said,

"Why is Mr. Grab so cruel... just to cut down a few trees?"

Fang Senyan sighed and explained to her,

"To us, trees are just trees, an important part of our lives. But perhaps to Grab and his kind, trees are like children, like family. They cherish nature out of love, but that love also makes them so cruel. Three hundred lives were lost because of him, but in the eyes of some radical Ents, perhaps he is a hero. "

Mr. Farrell was silent for a moment. Fang Senyan then said,

"Let's go. There's no saving those two. And now is not the best time to fight him. Our goal is reconnaissance, the Golden Fruit, not to play the hero."

No one objected to Fang Senyan's words. They slowly retreated, without attracting the attention of the others. However, after Grab killed the two adventurers, stomped out the fire, and reburied the tents, he walked around the camp. The vines on his body suddenly trembled a few times, and delicate tendrils pointed in one direction.

It was precisely where Fang Senyan and his group had been!

Grab slowly walked over. The tendrils of the vines on his body wriggled like snakes, finally pointing to a slightly wilted young leaf. Wu Ge had caressed this leaf earlier, but her mind had been agitated when she saw the dwarf and human being roasted alive. Inadvertently, she had pinched the leaf, damaging it.

Such a small, unshielded trace was detected by Grab!

Grab lowered his head, rubbing the leaf with his rough, bark-like face, then slowly and woodenly said,

"Still, a group, escaped, vermin."

He extended his finger. A small, white flower slowly bloomed from the rough, moss-covered fingertip.

Immediately afterward, a very common Saba bee buzzed over. The black-bellied, white-striped bee landed on the flower at the tip of Grab's finger, sipped nectar for a while, then buzzed and took off, circling in the air.

Grab rumbled,

"Remember, the enemy's scent. Then find Ni Xu. That group, escaped, quickly. Only Warpwood can, catch up, them! I quickly, come, help."

The Saba bee suddenly soared into the air, sniffed at the leaf, then flew away!

The forest returned to silence.

Immediately afterward, Grab walked to the clearing. His legs began to merge, and then his roots quickly burrowed into the ground. He raised his hands, closed his eyes. At this time, his form looked very similar to an ordinary tree. With the nourishment of the earth, the wounds on Grab's body surface slowly healed, and the bark that had been knocked off in the battle gradually grew back as before.

Fang Senyan and his group continued to travel through the forest, growing more and more alarmed. Closer to Isengard in Fangorn Forest, the signs of logging became increasingly serious, and conflicts naturally erupted more fiercely.

In Saruman's requirements, the core of the dam needed to use tough and spiritual tree hearts, so that magic could be used to control the opening and closing of the dam. Therefore, many trees were actually felled in vain, and found to be lacking in spiritual energy at the core and then abandoned.

This behavior undoubtedly further enraged the Ents.

Traces of small-scale battles could be easily erased, but large-scale battles, such as those involving more than fifty people, equipped with mages and heavy armored guards, were quite considerable. It was difficult to erase the traces of such battles.

Fang Senyan was now standing in front of a completely deformed suit of armor. Without a doubt, the armor was not empty, but it had been twisted and contorted as if it were a rolled hemp flower. There were also dried, purplish-black bloodstains overflowing from inside. The fate of the person inside was obvious.

Franklin stood beside a large pit. The surrounding area was barren, with overturned yellow earth and sand. The surface was as if it had been burned by a large fire, and even the plants next to it showed a shrinking growth trend, as if they were afraid of something.

"This is the residual consequence of a magical obsession. A relatively powerful mage detonated himself here."

Wu Ge picked up a piece of wood and carefully identified it. At first glance, it looked like a piece of wood, but upon closer inspection, this "wood" had been torn from the Ent's chest, similar to the ribs of a human's heart.

Although Ents were extremely vital, they would certainly not survive such injuries. Obviously, under the tenacious resistance of this team, the Ents had also suffered casualties.

However, the most incredible scene for Fang Senyan and his group appeared two minutes later. Reef passed under a large tree that had been broken in half, and accidentally kicked something. He looked down, and his face changed. He quickly dug away the soil and excavated several "fertilizers" buried by the Ents under the injured tree.

It was actually

A woman's corpse, with two children who looked to be less than five or six years old stacked on top of her! Judging from the bizarrely skewed appearance of the two children's heads, one head had been crushed alive, and the other had been rotated three hundred and sixty degrees! Big heads, small bodies, looking especially lonely and miserable!

An indescribable flame of anger rose from everyone's hearts, and the corners of Fang Senyan's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Although war was cruel, dragging women and children into it and using their bodies as fertilizer, while understandable from the Ents' perspective, still made Fang Senyan and his group feel very uncomfortable. Wu Ge's eyes were filled with tears.

But at this moment, Mr. Farrell suddenly knelt on one knee on the ground. He pressed his palm on the damp ground, and the vines around his neck pierced into the soil, tilting his head in confusion.

"Strange, although I can't sense anything, why do I suddenly have a feeling of unease?"

After listening to Mr. Farrell's words, Franklin thought for a moment and immediately cast a Tier 3 Arcane spell: Stigg's Eye.

The essence of this Tier 3 Arcane spell was to summon a magic eye. This magic eyeball would not fight, but it could detect all hostile creatures.

The front of Stigg's Eye looked like a bizarre eyeball with a white pupil but a black iris, but the back had dense, tentacle-like flagella. The flagella were scarlet and could absorb energy from another dimension for its own use.

After blinking twice, it suddenly looked to the west, and then projected an image from its iris:

A shadowy light could be seen traveling at high speed through the forest. After traveling a distance at high speed, it stopped. The light wrapped around what turned out to be a rather dry and "thin" (relatively speaking) Ent. Its entire body seemed to have been scorched by flames, with mottled black marks. However, while it was moving, its entire body gave people a "soft" feeling, and even its arms were twisted together by several strands of dry, flexible branches.

More importantly, the leaves on the Ent's head were actually stained with five reds! Based on one leaf representing one hundred people, the number of other races killed by it exceeded five hundred!

"That's a Warpwood Ent!" Mr. Farrell rumbled. "They are the fastest moving Ents, because they have an innate and unimaginable ability to manipulate space, so they have extremely powerful speed."

Hearing Mr. Farrell's introduction, Fang Senyan immediately understood why this guy could kill so many people. Obviously, the Warpwood ability gave him an advantage in pursuit! As Stigg's Eye disappeared into the air with a loud screech, Fang Senyan immediately asked Franklin,

"How long until that guy arrives?"

Franklin said,

"The scanning radius of Stigg's Eye is no more than two kilometers. If he moves at that speed, then he should arrive in a few dozen seconds."

Fang Senyan nodded and said,

"Now it looks like this guy is coming for us. There's no avoiding it. If we're going to fight, then let's make it quick. This is Fangorn Forest, the Ents' territory. A prolonged battle will be very disadvantageous for us."

As soon as Fang Senyan finished speaking, there was a rustling sound in the bushes next to him, and the Warpwood Ent Ni Xu walked out of the dense forest. Its eyes first rested on Farrell's body, and immediately became gnashing!

"Look what I see? An Ent who has degenerated and is willing to mingle with tree-slayers? No, that's not right! Why does the smell on your body smell so strange? Why is your trunk withering?"

Farrell turned his body, took a few steps, and proudly stood in front of him, indifferently saying,

"Because this isn't my true form, you little tree who hasn't seen the world."

Ni Xu said in astonishment,

"You're talking nonsense, this... how is this possible?"
