Chapter 1036: 1018Old Tom

Chapter 1036 1018.Old Tom

I don’t know whether he can’t speak or refuses to communicate.

The old willow tree that was singing beautiful songs just now is now grinning and wrinkled with its big nose made of hardwood knobs, looking like it is going to be cruel.

The countless branches that it has grown over the long years waved in the air, causing a sharp "whoosh" sound to break through the air.

Equivalent to the whip's swing before attacking.

The sound was messy, and the whipping sound was like a crossbow string being tightened before being fired.

It heralds the violent attack that will follow, and will naturally make people uncontrollably panic and fluctuate.

“Whoops!”

Only then did Qilin see clearly what terrain he had just stepped on, no wonder he couldn't stand firmly.

At this moment, a burst of angry hot air spurted out from its large moist nostrils, and the electric sparks suppressed by the rune cloth flashed in a chain between its exposed hooves.

 And Lan En still felt emotionally that this anger was also mixed with some fear and irritation, which was indeed very characteristic of this unicorn's character.

Thick dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky, making the lighting conditions almost like night.

The blue and purple crystal unicorn horns on the head glowed brightly under the high-energy infusion.

The branches of the old willow tree were waving faster and faster, and the whip-like branches screamed more and more fiercely in the air, but the witcher's face remained calm and collected.

Seeing the flannel ball start to move, Lan En made the next step in an orderly manner.

“I understand, meow! I’m going, meow!”

Elucat put the Thunder Cat Sword back into the scabbard on its back, then got down on all fours, adjusted the [Light Body Breathing Technique], and jumped into the woods behind her with its strong and agile figure.

If you can interfere with it at this time, or even scare it, its performance may be affected due to personality factors.

Its hooves moved restlessly, showing that it was also in an uncertain mood.

Lan En was a little unable to react at this time.

Only the dull thunder that flashes from time to time can briefly illuminate this area.

It uses [Calling Thunder] with all its strength. It is conservatively estimated that the high temperature of the falling thunder can turn the rocks within a dozen meters around the impact point into magma.

It twisted its body uneasily, making a "crunching" sound of the xylem rubbing and squeezing each other. It looked like it was about to pull the roots out of the ground in a hurry.

But now "shua"!

【Tachi Technique·Air Blade Spin】!

Light red fighting spirit flames burst out all over his body. Lan En grasped the end of the handle of Arondette's knife with one hand. While turning around, the long knife lying horizontally beside him also drew a sharp arc.

The Qilin, which was originally quite impressive and stood upright, now shook its head. The Qilin's pale horns on its head emitted fluorescence and electric arcs, but the surrounding celestial phenomena did not appear to be affected.

【Open blade·white blade state】.

The way the unicorn stood up and neighed, it looked even more noble at that moment of light!

Qilin has long been angry because he was trapped in the illusion and couldn't stand straight.

A large piece of willow branches that were thrown towards Qilin were chopped neatly.

Seeing that he could no longer threaten Qilin, who was gathering strength, the old willow tree suddenly let out a hoarse and panicked cry.

In addition to being cute on the outside and innocent on the inside, Fluffy Ball has a warrior character that is not sloppy at all, which is one of the reasons why Lan En gets along well with him.

The footsteps sounded like a humanoid creature walking towards this direction.

 Don’t worry about whether Qilin is timid or lazy and loves to play, but the racial talents are there.

He turned to look at Qilin and found that the same thing happened to Gulong Benlong.

As he said this, he handed Lan En the flannel ball from his arms. When he finally left his hand, he patted the kitten on the head with nostalgia.

"Meow?"

Flannel Ball is still confused about the situation.

The man crossed Lan En and then walked forward, which was the direction of the old willow tree.

“Except you! You bad guy!”

After crossing Lan En, the man shouted angrily at the old willow tree.

He also had a wooden stick in his hand that he used as a walking stick. As he walked towards the old willow tree, he raised the stick in his hand like a grandpa hitting a naughty child.

Logically speaking, Lan En would not let ordinary people get close to the dangerous monsters he fights.

But obviously, this man is anything but ordinary.

His cane hit the hard and thick bark of the old willow tree.

The bark of the tree is probably difficult to split with a sword, and only the tip of an ax or a spear can be used to cause damage.

But with just these few blows, the old willow tree screamed louder than when Lan En cut off many branches.

It seems like he was really taught a lesson.

And the man was singing a song while fighting. Lan En knew that the woodcutter would shout some simple trumpets to encourage him while working.

But this guy’s ‘chant’ is a bit too cheerful.

“You shouldn’t wake up! Eat soil well, dig deep into the roots of trees, drink water well, and sleep well! Old Tom advises you not to think about harming others!”

Every branch of the old willow tree was trembling, like a child shivering after being punished.

The big old face on its trunk, which is made up of hardwood knobs and bark seams, gradually distorts into an ordinary tree bark pattern.

 Lan En was holding a flannel ball in his arms, and Qilin's head was hanging on his shoulder. The three guys were staring blankly at the scene in front of them.

When the old willow tree became as motionless as an ordinary tree, only swaying its branches gently in the breeze, the man who called himself "Old Tom" stopped moving.

And he took a deep breath as if he was a little tired, straightened the collar of his light blue windbreaker, and walked towards Lan En and the others.

There was an apology on his face, but even with this expression, there was an irrepressible sense of relaxation and happiness, as if these two qualities had been deeply rooted in him.

Every word and action is carried out spontaneously.

When the little old man came to them, he took off his hat again. Compared with the last time he passed by, this time it was more formal.

In response, Lann also put down the flannel ball and at the same time withdrew his Lake Lady's Sword.

“Oops, please forgive me.”

He repeated it again.

“Please forgive me, beautiful horse. I just dispersed the thundercloud you summoned. After all, although this old willow tree is evil-minded, it is still a member of the forest and nature. I really can’t bear you to burn it directly.”

Qilin hid behind Lan En. Only the horse's head tilted out from the witcher's shoulders, and its nostrils blew out a stream of hot air towards Tom.

And he was still holding Lan En from behind, asking him to come up.

Lan En doesn’t care about his temper after being frightened.

“That’s what you say.” The witcher pushed Qilin’s head away with a subtle backhand, with a polite and bright smile on his face. "Are you a powerful wizard, old man?"

“Wizard, haha! Old Tom is not a wizard! I am not a wizard! Haha!”

Lane's words seemed to make him laugh, maybe it was because he was cheerful by nature, anyway, Old Tom laughed happily.

“This is Tom Bombadil.”

"Please come to my home, guests from afar. The table is filled with yellow cheese, pure honey, white bread and fresh butter. The golden berries are waiting for me to come home! We can have a good chat during the meal! "
