Chapter 1928 Ollie
A fireball flew across the sky, hit the octopus tree and exploded, the impact forced the monster to stop, the trunk shook violently, and the ignited branches and leaves emitted scorched smoke.
Johnson held the "fireball wand" and raised his voice to appease his subordinates.
"Listen everyone! Fire attack can break the regeneration physique of this magic tree!"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and fired another "fireball technique".
Johnson took the lead in the counterattack, which indeed had the effect of boosting morale.
The gunners in the back row continued to reload and shoot, while the mercenaries in the front row leaned their spears on the shields, freed up their right hands and took out a bottle of "blazing glue" from the military satchel, shook them well, and threw them vigorously at the octopus tree.
The ceramic bottle hit the demon tree and cracked, sticky "blazing glue" flowed out, attached to the rough bark, and immediately burned violently when it touched the air. From the roots to the crown of the tree, billowing black smoke rises.
Joan saw this scene through the "peeping magic eye", and had to admit that he had underestimated Johnson and his mercenary team before.
Johnson's spellcasting ability is average, and his on-the-spot command ability is still good. The tactics of the Feizhen mercenaries are similar to those of the regular army. The spearmen and riflemen cooperate back and forth, and the transition between offense and defense is very smooth. Compared with those adventure teams from "Yeluzi", they are more organized and well-trained.
By watching the battle from the sidelines, Joan discovered that Octopus had at least two serious weaknesses.
The first is that the movement speed is too slow, and it is easy to be "flying a kite".
The second is the obvious lack of fire resistance, and it is uncomfortable to be splashed with fire oil. Of course, this is not a unique weakness of the octopus, most living plants are afraid of fire.
Johnson held up his wand and frequently released "fireball" to bombard the octopus tree. His mercenaries either shot to harass or throw "fire glue" to "fuel the fire" of the octopus tree. The momentum on the battlefield continued in this way. Well, maybe Johnson's team may really burn the octopus to death.
Joan twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling a little uncomfortable, and secretly encouraged "Octopus".
"Come on, big tree!"
"You won't just be so aggrieved and burned to death?"
"Cheer up! You must still have unique skills that haven't been used yet, hurry up and use them to solve the predicament!"
"Don't be afraid of any difficulties we encounter, just face it with a smile!"
"The best way to get rid of fear is to face it, persistence is victory!"
"Come on, Dashu, Ollie!"
Perhaps Joan's spiritual encouragement was really effective. The Octopus Tree realized that the flames waving its branches and slapping its body could no longer save itself, so it dropped its eight tentacle-like branches and dipped the ends into the muddy puddles under its feet.
This detail did not attract the attention of Johnson and others. They were confident that they would win, but Joan noticed that the water level at the foot of the octopus was dropping sharply, so he couldn't help but make a guess.
"The branch of this monster, shouldn't it be a hollow tubular structure?"
Just when he was wondering, the octopus tree suddenly pulled out its branches from the puddle, and the eight branches pointed to the hottest parts of its body. The branches seemed to be equipped with water pumps, chi chi spraying high-pressure water!
I wipe! Is there really such an operation? !
Although he had expected it, Joan couldn't help being a little surprised when he witnessed the octopus pulling water from its branches to put out the fire.
As for Johnson and his group, they were even more shocked and dumbfounded.
The "blazing glue" stained on the octopus tree is a kind of alchemical compound, which is usually difficult to be extinguished by water, but at this moment, the water arrows sprayed from the branches of the octopus tree have a strong impact, like eight scalpels , forcibly cut off the bark attached to the fire glue from his body, so as to keep the trunk body free from flames.
After getting rid of the scorching fire, the Octopus Tree's powerful regeneration physique played a timely role, and the scars all over his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Johnson and others worked hard for a long time, but it turned out to be a waste of work, and their morale suffered a heavy blow. The spearmen in the front row became agitated, showing signs of defeat.
The octopus tree did not miss the opportunity to reverse the attack, and manipulated the roots to squirm forward, and at the same time raised a branch, pointing to the spear position not far away on the opposite side.
Johnson noticed that the distribution of the magic net was abnormally turbulent in the area where the mercenaries were stationed in the front row. Although he couldn't recognize what spell the octopus tree was casting for a while, he instinctively realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly warned the mercenaries to be careful!
However, his warning was a step too late, a golden halo exploded in the center of the crowd, and the natural divine power was released, instantly engulfing all the spearmen.
This spell did no harm to the human body itself, but it twisted all the wooden spears in the mercenary's hands into a U shape, and turned the spearheads to aim at his chest.
Obviously, this spear is useless!
This sudden change caused the fighting spirit of the mercenaries in the front row to collapse. No matter how much Johnson scolded them, they couldn't stop them from dropping their twisted spears and turning around to run away.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the octopus approached for a further distance, raised its branches to point at the gunners in the rear row, and sprayed out a cone-shaped beam of light from the branches.
The wave of golden magic power swept over, and it was still harmless to the human body, but it exerted a strong pressure on the wooden butt of the shotgun held by the mercenary. Like magnets of the same polarity repelling each other, the shotguns escaped from the mercenary's grasp one after another and flew into the bushes deep.
After consecutively casting the 2nd ring "Bending Wood" and 6th ring "Repelling Wood", Octopus has disarmed all the enemies on the battlefield except Johnson, and slapped the unarmed mercenary frantically while waving its branches. At the same time, it released The billowing fog obscures the vision of prey and prevents them from escaping.
The glade was shrouded in white mist, and the sounds of lashes, exclamations, and screams could be heard endlessly. Johnson was so frightened that he felt like he was in a slaughterhouse, just an animal waiting to be slaughtered.
The scarlet liquid splashed through the mist and splashed on his face. Johnson twitched violently as if he had been scalded by boiling water. His trembling fingers stroked his cheeks. The fingertips were warm and greasy, emitting a fishy smell that almost made him sick .
Stimulated by the bloody smell, Johnson barely woke up and realized that he had to do something as soon as possible to try to prevent the battle from being completely defeated.
"Súré!"
After finally maintaining his focus on spellcasting, it took Johnson twice as long as usual to successfully cast the 3-ring "Wind Wall Technique". The sight deepened Johnson's inner fear.
There were wounded and bloody corpses lying all over the ground. Not far from the opposite side, the dark trunk of the Octopus Demon Tree was mottled with blood, and a mercenary who was screaming and struggling was being rolled up with a branch and stuffed into the center of the trunk. The tree hole as deep as the throat.
