The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

She really didn't think rushing in was a good idea.

“I don’t think there’s time for that.”

Lisha said as she stood up.

"Lisha?!"

Ilsa was about to pull Lisha down when she heard Lisha say.

"They found us."

"what?!"

Ilsa glanced at the parasitic puppets that were closer and found that there were indeed three of them whose movements were unnatural.

Moreover, those parasitic puppets with unnatural movements were slowly approaching where they were.

Although their hiding abilities were indeed average, the perception range of these parasitic puppets was too exaggerated.

"It's not that these parasitic puppets have strong perception, it's the problem of that magic tree."

Lisha narrowed her eyes and looked towards the ruins.

When we got here, the fog had dissipated a lot, especially near the ruins, there was almost no trace of white fog.

"Didn't Tiyer say that this is an invincible magic tree at the gold level? Can you imagine how huge its underground root system is?"

Lisha stepped on the slightly soft soil beneath her feet.

"Perhaps we were discovered by the magic tree in the ruins the moment we approached here."

"I understand. Let's go in."

Although Ilsa was opposed to rashness, she was not a hesitant person.

On the contrary, Ilsa is actually very decisive in making decisions.

The only time Ilsa hesitated was when it came to matters related to Lisha.

"Lisha, we will clear the way for you and try to minimize our attacks so as not to consume too much energy when we encounter the golden demon tree."

"I'll take the lead!"

Angela was eager to try.

"Be careful not to get infected. If you get infected, call me immediately."

Meililu reminded everyone.

"I'll cast a powerful spell to attract their attention."

Alan raised his staff.

As she recited the spell quickly, powerful and burning magic gathered in front of her.

As Ai Lan's strength reached the peak of the silver level and her dragon bloodline awakened, she was able to release even more powerful scorching sun spells.

A fireball like a little sun flew towards the area where the parasitic puppets were most densely populated.

"BOOM!!!!!!~~~~"

Accompanied by violent explosions and impacts, flames shot up into the sky, and the powerful force of the scorching sun spell directly burned those parasitic puppets into ashes.

Almost at the same time, a large number of parasitic puppets began to rush towards this direction.

The branches of the demonic trees also began to move, taking on terrifying shapes, waiting for Lisha and the others to advance.

"There's something strange about this fog."

As a mage who possessed fire attributes, Ai Lan noticed the abnormality of the white mist surrounding the ruins almost immediately.

With the power of the spell cast by Ailan, this solar storm should have spread and ignited the surrounding trees.

However, when the flame came into contact with the white mist, it seemed to shrink continuously and finally went out.

The flames did not spread out at all, they simply blew up the parasitic puppets to death.

"Maybe it's the magic tree's way of preventing fire. After all, trees are afraid of fire, even magic trees. They are afraid of fire... No!"

Lisha recalled Tiel’s explanation that this demonic tree rooted in the ruins was not afraid of fire.

But I don’t know whether the magic tree itself is not afraid of fire or it has a powerful means to extinguish the flames.

If it was the former, they might have trouble dealing with the branches of these magic trees, but if it was the latter, it would not be easy to solve either. After all, the white fog in the Night Forest might be a protective mechanism for the entire forest.

There are quite a few adventurers and monsters who can cast fire spells. Even though there are very few animal monsters in the Night Forest and most of them are plant monsters, the adventurers' fire spells are still a huge threat.

If the entire Night Forest were to catch fire due to the fire spell, it would definitely cause a huge disaster to the entire third layer and might even completely destroy the ecology of the Night Forest.

But in reality, no matter whether the adventurers used torches or fire spells, they could not create a large fire in the Night Forest.

In essence, it is most likely the white mist that is responsible.

Although the power of the solar storm released by Ai Lan did not decrease much, it did not further damage the surrounding trees. It only left a huge charred hole on the ground.

"go!"

Lisha said as she led the charge into the ruins.

The rest of the team followed closely behind.

Ailan used magic to clear a path, Ilsa sniped the lone parasitic puppets, Merilu was responsible for releasing magical powers to enhance everyone, and Angela prevented the enemy from approaching.

Everyone is fighting their own battles.

Only Lisha did nothing and just moved forward silently.

The destructive power of the peak silver rank was extremely powerful for the parasitic puppets at the periphery, which were at most at the fine steel rank. It was like destroying dry weeds and rotten wood in one fell swoop. Lisha's team broke into the ruins of the ruins.

After entering the ruins, everyone except Lisha could clearly feel that their own strength was suppressed. This suppression was not very strong, but it had a certain impact on the battle, especially in a battle of equal strength, there might be unnecessary mistakes.

“Is this the right direction?”

Lisha turned around and asked Ilsa who was shooting arrows.

"This is the direction. Just go straight."

Ilsa nailed a parasitic puppet to the ground with one arrow.

It is not easy for a ranger like Ilsa to kill this parasitic puppet with extremely strong vitality, so it is more convenient to restrict its movement.

It’s different for Ai Lan. She can basically kill a large number of cannon fodder with just one spell.

After awakening the dragon bloodline, Ailan's physical fitness soared, his mental strength increased greatly, and his magic power reached an extremely high limit.

This allows Ai Lan to release powerful spells continuously. Even powerful spells that can only be used by the gold level are not impossible for Ai Lan to try, but he will be exhausted after releasing them.

After transforming into a beast, Angelina killed almost every parasitic puppet with one claw, and those demonized trees were also blown away by her powerful claws. If there were any fish that slipped through the net, it would be Merilulu who would finish them off. Although Merilulu was a priest, she was also a giant. With the strength of a giant and the hammer, she was enough to crush those fish that slipped through the net.

Soon, Lisha's team arrived deep in the ruins, not far from the center.

But because of this, the surrounding parasitic puppets and demonized trees have become more powerful.

Several of them have reached a strength close to the silver level, and because of the characteristics of plant-type monsters, they have amazing vitality and are extremely difficult to kill.

As a result, the speed of Lisha’s team’s advance began to gradually slow down.

Chapter 396: First Encounter with the Demonic Tree

"I'll leave these guys to you. I'm going to find the magic tree."

Lisha looked at the silver-level parasitic puppet that appeared in front of her and said without turning her head.

"Don't worry, leave it to us."

Angela punched a parasitic puppet away. She now felt that she was just warming up, and the real battle had just begun.

"You have to be careful."

Ilsa instructed Lisha, and as she spoke she focused her attention on the more powerful parasitic puppets, using elemental arrows from time to time to block their advance.

"Lisha, I'll give you a few more blessings."

Melillu said as she added a few more buff spells to Lisha.

“Lisha, the only way to kill the demon tree is to completely destroy its heart.”

Ai Lan was afraid that Lixia didn't know, so she quickly told her.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Lisha quickened her pace and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Parasitic puppets and demonized trees at the peak of the silver rank gradually appeared. Under Ilsa's command, the four of them began to hold their ground, waiting for Lisha to return triumphantly.

Lisha rushed to the center of the ruins at an extremely fast speed.

Although there were many parasitic puppets and demonized trees blocking her way, they were all easily dealt with by Lisha.

The suppressive power of the gold level on those below the gold level is too great.

Finally, Lisha saw the invincible golden magic tree that Tiel had mentioned.

Tall and sturdy, this was Lisha's first impression of him.

Unlike the dry and terrifying appearance of ordinary demonized trees, the demon tree in front of him looked no different from ordinary trees, except that it was more than 25 meters tall, and its exaggerated crown almost covered an area of hundreds of meters around it.

This huge magic tree is full of red fruits that emit a strange and fragrant smell, making people want to pick one and taste it.

But the faintly visible white bones in the ground under the magic tree made Lisha extremely alert.

This place is so normal that something is a little abnormal.

Maybe Lisha's description is contradictory, but it is the truth.

Lisha, who had seen the environment around those demonic trees, knew very well how abnormal the current environment was.

Especially the huge and complex root system hidden underground.

Lisha even suspected that if she dared to get any closer, she would be attacked by those strong roots.

After a brief inspection, Lisha found what she was looking for.

It was a dilapidated palace, one third of which had collapsed, but the remaining two thirds were still intact. However, there were many blood-red demonized trees growing around the palace, and the walls were also covered with blood-colored vines.

The location of this ruined palace happened to be right next to the magic tree, and part of the magic tree had even merged with the ruined palace.

The special plant that Thiel wants is in this dilapidated palace.

Lisha is now thinking about how to kill this evil tree without destroying the palace.

However, the other party seemed unwilling to give him more time to think.

As the vines hung down from the branches, the bright red fruits fell to the ground, turning into pools of a substance that looked like flesh and blood.

Roots emerged, absorbed the bright red substance, and took on a human-like form.

They are at the peak of the Silver Stage, and there is more than one, but a group.

If Ilsa and the others were allowed to come, they might not be able to resist.

But Lisha didn't care about that.

With her indestructible force, Lisha turned those peak silver-level wooden puppets into firewood with just three punches and two kicks.

These puppets, which were only of silver rank, had no chance of stopping her.

When Lisha was less than twenty meters away from the magic tree, the aura of the magic tree changed and it became stronger.

At the same time, the strength of the newly emerged wooden puppets also grew explosively.

Not the gold level, but the gem level.

This magic tree actually hides its power!

This alone is enough to annihilate any other adventure teams led by gold-rank professionals.

After all, the detection of gold and gem levels cannot be underestimated.

Moreover, this magic tree was definitely hidden deep enough that it even deceived the people sent by the Adventurer's Guild to explore it.

You know, the adventurers who can come here to explore are at least at the Gold level, and they are professionals who are good at reconnaissance and perception.

The fact that it was able to deceive the people sent by the Adventurer's Guild proves that this magic tree had planned it all along, and it might even be deliberately hiding its strength and waiting for the opportunity to do something.

But for Lisha, there was only one thing she had to do, and that was to kill this evil tree.
