Chapter 57 Twisted Tree Spirit (I)

Bai Zhi didn't let his teammates wait for a long time. Perhaps for them, his current actions were a skill, but only Bai Zhi himself knew that this was just an instinct that had almost become instinct in his memory.

In my previous life, because I couldn’t find a suitable fixed team, the teams in the studio either had something to do or under the pressure of the gradually gaining power, I didn’t plan to help at all.

As a last resort, Bai Zhi can only do everything himself. For example, on the rune continent, there are at least 100 herbs that players need to climb rocks to collect.

Strictly speaking, rock climbing is not difficult. As long as the attributes meet the standards, no player is a big deal. As long as the psychological pressure is overcome, rock climbing in the game is much simpler than reality.

The difficulty of the whole process is whether the player can discover the optimal climbing route.

Fortunately, with the basis of memory in previous lives, Bai Zhi quickly found the suitable channel.

Moving, jumping, Bai Zhi almost used all his abilities, and took a full 5 minutes before he could barely climb onto the cliff 40 meters above the ground.

I didn't rush to enter the sunken terrain as soon as possible. No one knew whether the hidden boss would stand outside and be knocked out rashly, Bai Zhi couldn't even find a place to reason.

Stealing decisively, under the dual action of movement casting and moving casting, Bai Zhi quickly entered the stealth state. His body stretched out extremely and then reflected like a spring. After landing, Bai Zhi squatted down lightly, and his eyes like an eagle scanned everything in front of him.

This is a deep depression. When players look up from the ground, the shadow relationship will ignore the weirdness here.

The depression area is very large, and it can provide almost 100 players with standing! But it is very empty inside.

The fluorescent plants could not illuminate all the inside. In the swaying fluorescent light, Bai Zhi saw a figure above 12 meters high.

His pupils contracted slightly, Bai Zhi looked down, took out some useless or low-value items from his backpack and threw them away.

The current situation does not allow Bai Zhi to talk to the players below. Even if he is in a stealth state and is the highest-end stealth skill, he does not have much advantage in front of the boss, especially the boss who is awake!

Once he speaks rashly, the boss will be able to sense the abnormality in the void as soon as possible. In this way, Bai Zhi will lose the first move.

Moreover, some bosses can ignore the space and directly cross the space for damage!

This huge tree-like monster in front of me is one of them. Bai Zhi doesn’t want to be killed for no reason!

The 12-meter-high body stands in this depression like a demon.

The body is particularly strong, with a waist of four or five meters thick, and the shoulders are wider. The two huge and rough arms are swinging aimlessly. When they are lowered, they can almost pass over the knee! The left hand is obviously much smaller than the right hand, and the thick right hand can even cover one third of Maokai's body!

His feet occupy more than half of the boss's height, which is six meters high! It is thick and stands there like a rotten giant tree.

Monsters of this size can knock the player out without any pressure even if they gently rub against the player!

It is dark green, and occasionally several parts tend to be light yellow, and there are some useless branches on the surface of the body. These are not something that Bai Shao pays attention to.

If the boss's body is just these appearances, Bai Zhi is not very worried. He is just a tree man in the general sense and is not worth making a fuss.

But there was a strange little thing active on the shoulders of this tree man!

The calves are tall and look like an extended bamboo shoot. A flower that keeps flashing green light blooms above the strange plant. At first glance, I really think this thing is a weird bomb that is sparking!

With the dense runes on this little thing, Bai Zhi couldn't help but be surprised. This thing... is so familiar!

Hurry up and look at the monster's status, the standard boss's logo - the black skull.

The level is up to level 10! Because the blood bar has not turned into blood red, it can be seen that this guy has not yet advanced but just has reached the conditions for leveling. This is good news.

HP is as high as 22,000 points, an extremely terrifying number. Almost only the BOSS in FB about level 15 can compare with it. The thickness of the blood bar indirectly shows that this is a top-level meat shield-type BOS! Of course, the top-level pervert of the BOSS in the Wild World does not count.

Nothing does matter. Compared with the name of the boss, these things are really not a critical issue.

——Twisted Tree Spirit·Maokai!!!

"Damn! I won the jackpot!" Bai Zhi felt a little surprised and panic in his heart. He actually encountered a monster with his own name, and this monster was also a BOSS template!

Once any monster obtains its real name, its combat effectiveness will increase by at least 300%. With the enhancement of the BOSS template, Bai Zhi is a little doubtful whether he and others can kill this BOSS.

Of course, if it were just that, Bai Zhi wouldn't be so panicked. Which boss in FB above level 15 will not have his own real name?!

What really paniced Bai Zhi was that the prefix of the twisted tree spirit was not the name of the monster, but the title!

A familiar title!

In his previous life, three and a half years after the server was launched, the player discovered a world boss called Twisted Tree Spirit Maokai. Strictly speaking, for the players in the evil camp, this is a world boss, and for the players in the kind and orderly camp, Maokai is a well-deserved hero!

At that time, Maokai was already a powerful hero in the orderly camp. His powerful spells and indestructible defense almost kept Maokai at the peak of this stage.

In an encounter with players in the evil camp, Maokai used the lives of more than 300 players of level 90+ to establish Maokai's superhero qualifications. Until Bai Zhi was reborn with his memories, Maokai was still moist and active in the twisted jungle, killing any poacher who dared to enter the twisted jungle, and committed to protecting the local biological balance.

Bai Zhi felt a little confused. It seemed that he had never heard of this guy in his memory that he had come to the Spiroot Mountains.

Moreover, if the memory is not wrong, Maokai should be fighting against evil creatures in the totem god ruins in the twisted jungle. Why did this guy come here?

Besides! Mao Kai at this stage is at least a strong man of more than 100, so why did he become a boss and appear here and his level is only level 10?!

"...Projection?!" Bai Zhi looked at Maokai suspiciously, and did not dare to continue exploring. This girl was definitely not a good man and a woman. He killed countless creatures in the evil camp, and there were also many players and NPCs in the orderly camp who died at his hands.

"If it's a projection, it can indeed explain why the level of this boss is only level 10..." Bai Zhi thought to himself: "Then why did he arrange a projection to come to this FB? Wait! Wait! Could it be..."

Bai Zhi's expression gradually relaxed. If it was as he had guessed, this twisted tree spirit would be much easier.

If you guess correctly, before the time and space here were distorted, Maokai had discovered the abnormality here. For this strong man, any guy trying to destroy the natural balance is an absolute enemy, and the alienation caused by the power of the totem god is naturally one of them.

In this way, it was not incomprehensible that Maokai had a projection to solve the problem.

However, what Maokai did not expect was that after the projection of this distorted tree spirit was released, it happened to encounter a time and space distortion, resulting in all existences in the entire area being distorted, and eventually forming an FB.

So Maokai's projection was trapped in it.

If the person who came here was a regular person, it is estimated that the entry level of this FB is above level 90! And Maokai will also exist as a final boss, instead of becoming a hidden boss like now, huddling in the rock wall boringly to pass the time.

After a few observations, Bai Zhi poked his head and threw down something again, reminding his teammates to prepare for the battle.

The sound of the item landing made Maokai move slightly, and a muffled curse came: "That group of damn adventurers..."

Obviously, the big guy saw the previous actions of Bai Zhi and others, and the players' actions made the big guy who had spent countless time in FB very irritated.

Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the rope from his waist and tied it around his waist, and pulled down the blowing needle around his waist. Just when Bai Zhi was about to launch an attack to attract Maokai...

"If I were you, an adventurer, I wouldn't be so rude!" Mao Kai turned his head in a muffled voice and looked in Bai Zhi's direction.

Bai Zhi's eyes twitched. It was the first time that he had been cracked and sneaked. I guess this guy discovered it the first time he appeared! It is worthy of being the projection of the super strong man in the BOSS template!

Bai Zhi had a stalemate for a while, but finally he didn't think about whether he should launch an attack immediately.

Bai Zhi cannot be blamed for being indecisive. MB Mao Kai's performance just now is not the behavior that the boss should have. If it is a normal boss, I am afraid that he will launch an attack as soon as he finds Bai Zhi, and he will not be as lazy as he is.

Sighing slightly, Bai Zhi removed the stealth effect, looked at Maokai with his fate, and leaned out to the players and said, "Everyone! This guy seems to want to say something more, let's talk about it later."

Bai Zhi's words made the players below sweat...

"I can't understand it! Is it an NPC or a hidden boss?" The tongue complained, but the weapon in his hand was not put down.

Lolita pondered for a while and said, "It should be a special existence between the two... Don't relax, there is probably a battle later."

Above, Bai Zhi turned his head helplessly and looked at Maokai.

This guy was bored and throwing up the sapling in his hand, as if he was playing with a ball. What made people speechless is that the little sapling being played with was still chirping comfortably...

"Okay, as you said, I have put away my hostility, but I would rather keep a certain guard during the conversation. I think you shouldn't mind..." Bai Zhi said roguely.

Maokai was not angry, and still played with the sapling in his hand: "You are very interesting, well, no matter what aspect it is... Xu Ling?"

Bai Zhi nodded. The current situation has exceeded Bai Zhi's cognitive range. Bai Zhi has never seen or heard any hero's projection trapped in FB. Because of that level, it can more or less provide some subtle perceptions and premonitions of his own destiny, and seek good fortune and avoid bad luck. Any smart creature will do it.

"Forget it... I can only take one step at a time..." Bai Zhi was very helpless. This situation beyond his control made Bai Zhi very irritable.

"It's indeed Xu Ling, but I would rather you call me and my tribe's people the descendants of Xu Ling. As you can see, I am a member of Bairdex Xu Ling..." Bai Zhi talked naturally with Mao Kai, and Bai Zhi's words sounded almost no different from the NPCs in this world.

Maokai moved his shoulders, smashed the seedlings in his hand to the ground, and stepped on them a few times.

Bai Zhi's mouth twitched slightly at the scene in front of him. The poor seedling was stomped in a scream, but then he cried and laughed at himself with a strange smile, then jumped into the tree hole on Maokai's thigh, and crawled out of the tree hole on Maokai's shoulder a second later...

Bai Zhi couldn't help but complain: "Please don't do this, sir! I have no intention of evaluating your special hobbies, but... you have to take care of my feelings. You know, I don't like this weird behavior..."

Maokai shrugged boredly and said, "Okay, little guy, but I want to say, you have made an unreasonable evaluation of my few hobbies..."

Bai Zhi spread his hands and planned to say something, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly and said, "Forget it, let's get to the point directly! The twisted tree spirit from the twisted jungle - Lord Maokai, why did your projection appear in this place? Moreover, it seems that you and the existence of the entire area have been twisted together. Can you talk about it?"

Maokai muttered depressedly: "Ao! I don't want to ask this question... Answer to my little guy, how is that weird flower demon outside?"

Bai Zhi was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, the flower demon was alienated or evolved due to the energy of the ruins before FB appeared.

"With this reserve force that twists time and space, the man-eating flower demon has already possessed infinite vitality!" Bai Zhi said simply: "We are here to solve this big guy."

Maokai nodded and said, "I thought so back then, but unfortunately, I thought that little thing should have evolved to the same level as me, so I planned to get this ruin first and move her to the twisted jungle for cultivation, but as you can see, I was trapped in this place..."

Bai Zhi smashed his lips dryly and said, "Wow, it's a pity..."

"It's true, Xu Ling! I feel very sorry too..." Maokai was a little embarrassed.

Bai Zhi then asked, "Then...Mr. Maokai, what are you going to do? I mean, well, you know, we are exploring this cave now."

Maokai was silent for a while and said, "I don't remember when Xu Ling also began to be as hypocritical as humans."

Bai Zhi shrugged and felt depressed. Xu Ling was indeed not the kind of creature that likes to circumference, but what did Bai Zhi say? Could you just ask "Hello, sir, can you kill you?"...

Seeing that Bai Zhi didn't say anything, Mao Kai said to himself: "You know little guy, I have been in this ghost place for many years, so I almost forgot the beautiful swamp of the twisted jungle..."

Bai Zhi hung his dead fish's eyes and complained in his heart: "Only you think the swamp is beautiful..."

"I don't want to be distorted by this time and space, but there is no way. My power is still insufficient. I, who have been fighting with the twisted time and space for many years, have the remaining power has become weaker and weaker. If no one has come here yet, I think it would be better to die out directly than a part of my soul being trapped here. At least in that case, the body has a little chance to recover the soul fragments on me..."

Bai Zhi's eyes lit up slightly. Unlike NPCs, players need to at least reach the hero level to make projections. When NPCs are strong in their own souls, they can try to make projections at level 8, but they need to pay for a certain amount of their own souls.
To be continued...
