Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

When Huang Xinke and his team finally managed to retreat to the huge rock in the safe area, Yize just broke free from the control state imposed by the uncomfortable earthquake skill.

"That's enough! Stop dragging me along. I can walk on my own! Go do your thing!"

Yize yelled at Huang Xinke in annoyance. His mood at the moment was extremely complicated. He felt grateful to the man in front of him, but also a little resentful.

If there was anything he was grateful for, it was undoubtedly Huang Xinke who was the first person to rush to where he fell without hesitation and lend a hand to save him. However, what made Yize hate him most was Huang Xinke's unique way of saving people!

It was simply to torture him to death! Thinking of this, Yize couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

He quickly pulled out a reclining chair from his backpack and plopped down heavily. He then pulled out a low-level red potion that could restore 50 HP, gulping it down like beer, as if this would help him swallow what had just happened.

Huang Xinke, who was sent away by him, rushed to the battlefield where a fierce battle with the Tree Demon King was going on, and continued to assist his teammates in this thrilling hunting operation.

"Huang Xinke, wander around the Tree Demon King. When you see an opportunity, unleash your two-hit combo skill. Observe and see if you can find any weaknesses! If you find any, tell us immediately."

"Li Nianji, continue to attract the Tree Demon King's hatred. Run back and forth, and be careful not to exceed the range of our long-range attack!"

"Yize, take a good rest and recover first. After you recover, join the battle. Take turns attracting aggro with Li Jinian, and focus on the main damage output!"

Seeing Yize safely evacuated from the danger zone, and seeing Huang Xinke, the reinforcement, circling the Tree Demon King, Gou Taiyu's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. He immediately issued new combat orders.

Li Nianji kept using various moves to cleverly lure the huge and ferocious-looking tree demon king to move back and forth in a specific area.

He knew that he couldn't let this ferocious monster step out of the attack range they had previously designated, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Meanwhile, in the distance, Yize was taking the time to rest and recover as quickly as possible.

Once he feels that his condition has almost recovered, he will quickly rush over to exchange positions with Li Jianyi, and attract the hatred of the Tree Demon King to each other to ensure that the battle can continue in an orderly manner.

"Mages must continue to maintain high-intensity output and must not slack off! If a mage finds that their MP recovery rate cannot keep up with the consumption rate, they should decisively drink magic potions to replenish their energy.

The remaining warriors and flying heroes, you should also pay attention to the HP status, and immediately replenish the status when half of it is reached! After this battle ends automatically, we will deduct the corresponding number of potions from the dropped items.

We will distribute it reasonably according to your actual needs and use it to replenish the potions you consume. If the potions from the dropped items are not enough, we will make up for it with the price of the materials and equipment!"

Gou Taiyu took a deep breath, and then continued to explain the subsequent consumption and supply matters to everyone in an orderly manner!

Huang Xinke was constantly lingering near the Tree Demon King, wandering about like a vagrant street thug. He would occasionally mutter something inaudible to others, his eyes fixed on the behemoth like a hawk, constantly searching for the perfect opportunity to strike.

Whenever he found the Tree Demon King pausing and revealing a flaw, Huang Xinke would fly forward without hesitation and instantly unleash his two-hit combo skill with the highest damage at this stage.

With a flash of dazzling red light, the short knife in his hand unleashed a short-range blade energy, fiercely striking the target. However, even after successfully unleashing the skill, Huang Xinke showed no sign of lingering in the fight. Instead, he quickly withdrew, creating a safe distance between himself and the Tree Demon King.

Li Nianji had been pulling the hatred of the Tree Demon King, running back and forth. Seeing that the defense-enhancing skill was about to end, he continued to use his Holy Armor skill.

Then in this process, after being accidentally touched by this huge tree demon king, he would run some distance away while taking out a bottle of white potion from his backpack and drinking it, always keeping himself safe.

"Here it comes! Here it comes! I've finally recovered almost completely! Haha, just wait and see how this powerful blow of mine will defeat that damned Tree Demon King in one fell swoop!"

In the distance, Yize, who was resting and trying to recover his condition, ran over without hesitation when he felt that he had basically recovered. Like a flash of lightning, he rushed into the fierce battle to hunt down the Tree Demon King again.

"Hmph! I told you to control me just now! I told you to jump so high to scare people! And I told you not to dare to use your skills to hit me! Today is the day you die!"

Poor Yize, he usually doesn't say a word all day, but after being saved by Huang Xinke, he seems to have developed some strange properties.

Yize roared angrily, leaping up and down like a nimble monkey. After leaping high, he exerted all his strength, and the weapon in his hand transformed into a sharp ray of light, smashing fiercely into the massive trunk of the Tree Demon King.

Every time he shouted a word filled with anger, Ize would leap up with all his might, followed by a round of powerful attacks like a storm. And after each attack, he would move behind Li Nianji as quickly as a ghost, using the advantage of being a human shield to exchange the target of hatred as cover.

At the same time, his sharp eyes were always fixed on the Tree Demon King. He did not dare to relax at all, and was always alert to whether this terrible enemy would suddenly jump high again and use the disgusting earthquake skill.

Under Gou Taiyu's orderly command, the originally unfamiliar cooperation among everyone gradually became more and more tacit.

Among them, Huang Xinke, who was a flying knight, was as elusive as a ghost. He launched fierce attacks from time to time, causing huge damage and making the Tree Demon King unable to defend himself.

Li Jinian, a burly and blood-thick shield warrior, is like an indestructible mobile fortress. He always runs back and forth in front to attract the attention of the Tree Demon King, creating excellent offensive opportunities for Ize, the main output, and the three-person team of long-range output.

With the three men's perfect coordination, the Tree Demon King was once again provoked by them. Driven by hatred in his heart, he desperately tried to move his position, but found that his movements seemed to be restricted to a certain extent.

However, at this moment, the Tree Demon King, who felt that his movements were restricted, suddenly burst out with a powerful force, jumped up suddenly, and rushed into the air again.

The huge figure blocked the sunlight again, pressing down like a huge dark cloud.

As always, the dark shadow spread rapidly, once again completely obscuring everyone's vision and the sun's rays. In an instant, the entire mountaintop seemed to be shrouded in a thick black curtain, plunging it into a heart-wrenching gloom.

"Run! Everyone, run to the high rocks! Quick!"

Faced with this sudden change, Gou Taiyu remained calm again. He stared sharply at the tree demon king tumbling in the air and gave the order to retreat without hesitation!

At the critical moment when the Tree Demon King released his earthquake skill, when the Tree Demon King suddenly jumped up and then fell heavily to the ground, causing a strong earthquake, Gou Taiyu was always fully focused and did not miss any details.

He clearly remembered that he and the two mages were standing firmly on a large, uncovered rock in the distance. At the same time, Huang Xinke also nimbly climbed to the top of a towering rock.

Because of this, the three of them were able to survive and were not hurt at all by the Tree Demon King's terrifying skills. Even the aftermath of the earthquake failed to reach them, and they only felt some slight tremors.

The others weren't seriously injured, at most struggling to keep their footing due to the violent shaking. However, Yize and Li Jinian, who were on the ground, were not so lucky; they both suffered varying degrees of injuries.

With his keen observation and calm analytical skills, Gou Taiyu quickly devised a countermeasure the moment he saw the Tree Demon King soar into the air. Although he couldn't be 100% certain that this plan would work, it at least eliminated the possibility of failure.

This time, Huang Xinke didn't say a word. Perhaps it was because the embarrassment just now was caused by the Tree Demon King's jump again, and the reason also emerged in his mind.

After hearing Gou Taiyu's order to temporarily retreat, everyone followed the order without hesitation.

As expected, when the enormous Tree Demon King crashed down from mid-air once again, everyone was already safely on the rocks, far away from the core area of ​​the skill. Facts proved that Gou Taiyu's judgment was correct!

I saw a surging cloud of dust that covered the sky and the sun rolling past like a ferocious beast. Sand and rocks flew everywhere it passed, and the sky and the earth changed color.

After the smoke and dust settled again, vision gradually became clear. Amazingly, everyone on the rock was miraculously unharmed.

In addition to the thick layer of loess dust covering everyone's body, as if they had just crawled out of a pile of earth, there were also countless dense, crisscrossing cracks on the ground, spreading out in all directions like a spider web.

"Continue to hunt the Tree Demon King at the same pace as before!"

Gou Taiyu stared at the huge and ferocious tree demon king in front of him and shouted loudly.

His voice was filled with excitement and confidence, clearly relieved that everyone was safe. He was also confident in the strategy he had previously formulated, firmly believing that as long as they continued their attacks at this pace, victory would surely be theirs!

So, everyone mustered their courage and strength once again, launching a new round of fierce attacks on the Dryad King. For a moment, a variety of brilliant and colorful magical lights intertwined and flickered in the air again. The sound of swords and shields clashing against the Dryad King was endless, and the shouts of the crowd were even more deafening.

As the saying goes, when you feel that everything is going smoothly, a crisis is sure to appear quietly!

Just when everyone thought everything was under control, something unexpected happened! Apparently, the Tree Demon King had unleashed two powerful earthquakes in quick succession. The tree stumps in the distance, where the axes had been resting quietly, suddenly began to shake violently.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a dull roar, these tree stumps broke out of the ground one after another. A scarlet eyeball opened in the center of the stump, and a group of axe wood monsters and black rune wood monsters of different heights began to move.

There are so many of them that they look like a black mass at first glance. The axes on their heads emit a frightening cold light, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

What is even more shocking is that these newly awakened monsters behaved extremely united and orderly.

Most of them seemed to have received some mysterious summons. They marched in uniform steps, swaying left and right, and marched towards the direction of the Tree Demon King. The scene was like a well-disciplined army rushing to the battlefield.

The remaining small group locked their sights on the long-range output position where Gou Taiyu and the other three were, and moved over aggressively.

"Fuck!"

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but curse in their hearts! The situation before them instantly became extremely serious and dangerous.

"Oh my god! We're screwed! The Wood Demon Army has arrived! Oh my god, I've never used a tree as firewood in my entire life! Please stop chasing me! I don't have any maple syrup!"

Seeing the dense and countless Axe Wood Monsters and Black Axe Wood Monsters rushing towards him with great momentum, Huang Xinke felt his scalp tingling and couldn't help but start complaining.

Although these Axe Wood Monsters and Black Axe Wood Monsters are just small monsters that can be easily killed in seconds by people like Daiyu, their numbers are so terrifying!

What’s more crucial is that no one in Gou Taiyu’s team has high-output group attack skills.

At this moment, seeing that the team was already in such a difficult situation, Gou Taiyu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. While desperately releasing arrows, his brain was working rapidly, trying hard to come up with an effective response strategy.

However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he still couldn't come up with a good idea. He was so tired that stars began to appear in his eyes.

"Boss, how about letting Uncle Ji Nian attract the hatred of those axe monsters? Although his group attack skills can't kill all of them instantly, it can at least draw most of their attention to the side!

Then we'll send out a mage to defeat them one by one, but the biggest problem now is whether Uncle Ji Nian can withstand the fierce attacks of so many Axe Wood Monsters!"

Just at this moment, Lemon, who had been standing beside Gou Taiyu in silence and releasing magic double-clicks, suddenly spoke.
