At the entrance, the mood was tense.
Liu Yang looked at the seven cursed dryads with solemn glances, while they looked at him with their shining eyes.
crack… crack…
His fists were clenched tightly and the bones cracked under the steel glove.
Both sides were already ready to start the fight.
"Start !!!" The empress's voice echoed.
stomp !!!!
Without hesitating, Liu Yang stepped heavily on the ground and charged towards the seven dryads like a rocket.
His heavy body flew at great speed.
The seven were not intimidated by the charge and also acted. They waved their arms at the same time. The group seemed to be in great sync.
crack !!! crack !!!
The ground has been cracked and several dozen tentacles made of thorny stems rise from the ground.
The wooden tentacles attack Liu Yang fiercely like pointed but malleable spears.
"Ahh !!!!" Liu Yang screamed and attacked with his fists and kicks.
pang !! pang !!! pang !!!
With each blow, a wooden tentacle was destroyed in half with difficulty. Its power was very great.
Dryads were at level 400, but their powers were like that of level 500 creatures because of the curse. Thus, Liu Yang was fighting seven people at level 500.
His current level was 400, but because of his power as a village leader, he was close to someone at level 500. So he could still hold out for some time. But not for long.
(This will be more difficult than I imagined. They are cursed dryads and the poison will not work with them, so the only way to defeat them is by using brute force) Liu Yang thought.
Rhexia had already said about the dryads' strengths and weaknesses, so Liu Yang just needed to take advantage of their weaknesses to defeat them.
Dryads were the daughters of nature, that is, they had more power when they are close to forests, plants, or areas with land that can be used for planting. Any location with these things gives more power to dryads.
So, Liu Yang just needed to do something about the land and the surrounding trees, but he couldn't be able to do that. The place was gigantic and had tens of thousands of kilometers.
The first alternative was out of reach. So there was only the second alternative, fire.
As beings of the forest, dryads had a strong weakness against fire. So the easiest way to deal with them is with fire. But some had the power of water to deal with this weakness.
Liu Yang didn't have time to verify this, so he could only attack to find out.
shuoo !!! pang !!! crack !!!
The speed of the wooden tentacles is extremely fast, but Liu Yang was also fast in his attacks. He managed to defend himself, but not forever.
clang !!!
"Ahh !!!" Several wooden tentacles hit his body, protected by steel armor. He was sent away because of the impact.
(This is really difficult. It seems like there's no way, I need to use the method to deal with these dryads using fire) Liu Yang didn't have enough energy for a prolonged fight against seven level 500 beings. He needs to finish this as soon as possible. fast as possible.
Without hesitating, Liu Yang charged again towards the dryads, but they continued to attack with the wooden tentacles. This was not their only attack, but it was enough to deal with Liu Yang.
(Transform !!! Body Flame Transformation !!!) Liu Yang mentally shouted.
His steel-covered body turned into a man of fire. The entire steel armor was covered by flames.
Liu Yang's current appearance was like a man-made fire, but his armor was what was on fire.
Before traveling to that location, Rhexia told Liu Yang about the possible challenges he would face. So he made the necessary preparations to deal with future problems.
The slave market was rich enough to have all kinds of skills, so he asked General Manager Etelka for some skills for him to use.
The skill slots were not infinite, so Liu Yang had to choose wisely what he needed to use. One of the skills was to transform into a man of fire.
The skill was called Body Flame and had only one level, but it took five skill points to learn.
Transformation - Flame Body (Active) (Max Level) - Transforms the user's body on fire. All of his attacks become the fire element. The power of transformation is increased according to the points in the attributes of intelligence and vitality.
When the flaming body touched the wooden tentacles, it all started to burn like dry straw in the flames. It was too fast.
Liu Yang had many points in the vitality attribute and a reasonable amount in the intelligence attribute. So his transformation was very strong.
Even though dryads are cursed beings, they have been unable to prevent their invocations from being burned by fire.
"!!!!!" Dryads never thought that Liu Yang would have fire attacks. That was a big surprise for them.
But this surprise was quickly ignored.
The group waved their hands in tune again, they seemed to be doing some kind of dance choreography.
crack !! crack !!!
The burning tentacles have become much stronger than before and the flames have subsided. It seems that the group strengthened the tentacles using their powers.
Not only that, but several giant carnivorous plants have also emerged from the soil and attack Liu Yang with their sharp teeth.
Unfortunately, that was not enough to stop Liu Yang's charge.
The intense flames that completely cover Liu Yang's body were too strong and any plant that came into contact with fire was burned slowly because dryads were also strong.
pang !!! pang !!! pang !!!
To increase the destructive power, Liu Yang used his fists and kicks to attack.
The flames already burned part of the plants and the wooden tentacles, Liu Yang's other attacks only served to break faster.
Dryads realized that normal attacks could not deal with Liu Yang, so they used another method.
The group started dancing in a strange way, but a great deal of power could be felt.
crack !!! crack !!! booooooom !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A giant wooden golem came out of the ground and attacked with its palm towards Liu Yang.
"!!!!!!!!!!" Liu Yang was shocked by this view. He understood that the golem was not weak because it was created by combining the energies of the five dryads.
"Impact!!!!" He shouted loudly.
A strong flaming glow covered his fist before punching towards the wooden golem. Liu Yang didn't have much time to charge the skill.
Booooooooooom !!!!!!!!!!!!
