“The tree is moving?

Sensing the sudden formidable momentum around him, Leo Ray drew his sword and immediately looked towards the strongest source.

What appeared before his eyes was a towering tree nearly ten meters tall, slowly approaching his side.

At the same time, eight other giant trees, standing five to six meters tall, also surrounded them from all sides.

Upon closer inspection, these moving trees appeared humanoid in nature.

Their tangled roots formed huge feet, the lower part of the trunk split into thick legs, and the middle and upper parts of the trunk made up the bulky torso and head.

Countless branches and leaves were twisted together, creating massive arms that almost reached the ground.

Especially on the torso, the brown armor made of hard bark gave a feeling of impenetrable strength.

Boom, boom…

In that moment, accompanied by the heavy footsteps of these tree giants, dust rose, the earth trembled, and even the two suns and the sky were blocked out, creating an astonishing sight.

Upon seeing this shocking scene, the expressions of their own party were relatively calm.

As for Penelope and the other two girls, they had already anxiously hidden behind Leo Ray.

Undoubtedly, the sight before them was too overwhelming.

Even if there were just one tree giant like this, stepping into the nearby territory would spell destruction for them!

On Penelope’s delicate face, a hint of uncontrollable panic could be seen.

She never thought that a scene that could only be found in movies would suddenly appear before her!

“Lord, this is the Elf Tribe’s Tree Guardian Giant!”

On the other side, Jasper Richardson’s astonished voice reached Leo Ray’s ears, “The Tree Guardian Giant is a type of advanced magic puppet, devoid of emotions, and only acts according to its summoner’s final instructions.”

Immediately after, he heard Jasper add, “It must be those three Tier 3 powerhouses who, while triggering the trap, also awakened these sleeping Tree Guardians!”

“I see, so they’re like the Earth Guardians, both advanced magic puppets? It seems that the strange noises and giant shadows that Penelope heard and saw earlier were these creatures.”

With a calm thought, Leo Ray sensed and discovered that apart from the highest tree emitting a dangerous Tier 4 aura, the remaining eight all had Tier 3 strength, which was clearly within their control.

“Lord, these Tree Guardian Giants have an astonishing physical defense but can use vines to attack and entangle. However, their head defense is relatively weak. As long as you aim there, you can quickly destroy them!”

Following that, Jasper’s crisp voice came once more.

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray held his shimmering Rolanddel horizontally and spoke, “All of you heard that, right? Aim for the head and make it quick!”

“Yes, my Lord!”

On the other side, upon hearing the command, their own powerful fighters encircling Leo Ray vanished in a blur, swiftly shooting towards the surrounding giants.

Of course, the one Taylor faced was the Tier 4 Tree Guardian Giant.

Despite being a Tier 4 tree giant with an extremely imposing aura and with its huge body and thick bark armor which could likely withstand fighting against ten ordinary Tier 3 powerhouses at the same time without losing, it was unfortunate that its opponent was Taylor, the backbone warrior of their team.ln a blink of an eye, accompanied by the roar of a Dragon-slaying Giant Sword, there was no fancy move, just a simple and unadorned slash.

The four-tiered tree man’s arms, along with countless vines that shot out, were all cut into two pieces.

The next second, a cold glint flashed, and with another ordinary slash, the giant fell with a loud crash, leaving only Taylor’s towering figure standing proudly amidst the dust.

At the same time, the second person to defeat a tree man was none other than the muscle-bound Tier 4 five-star Priest Gideon Black.

Under his bizarre and high-speed movement, the deadly vines covering the sky couldn’t hit him at all, only stirring up waves of mud on the ground.

Immediately after that, Gideon Black, who was almost at a 90-degree angle to the ground, headed straight for the giant’s head and punched it, directly exploding the Tree Puppet’s head, completing the feat of single-handedly pulling the tree out.

As Gideon Black elegantly shook off the dust on his body, not far away, Jasper Richardson moved gracefully and returned to Leo Ray’s side.

Behind her, the head of another Tree Guardian Giant had been twisted into a spiral shape by the power of space and fell crookedly.

Several meters away, the fast-moving Serena Clark, Stella Clark, Abigail, Amelia, and Bianca White hardly needed to be mentioned.

Wielding Tier 4 weapons, they ended the battle at lightning speed.

The white giant wolf carrying a short sword in its mouth landed gracefully, declaring that all five enemies had been completely annihilated.

Lastly, there was Scarlett, who dexterously shuttled between the vines. As a Fire Mage, she naturally had a tight grip on her wooden opponents.

While enjoying the burning process, she also put a perfect end to the battle.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, the nine tree puppets that had been so imposing a moment ago had all been brought down by the group, leaving behind only leaves and broken branches on the ground.

My Lord, they’re so strong…”

Seeing this, the petite Lana, who was closely guarding Penelope, opened her mouth in awe, her face a picture of astonishment.

On the other side, Penelope and Aurora, too, had been stunned, not making a sound for a long time.

Who would have thought that the giant tree-men who could easily kill them were annihilated in the blink of an eye by Master Leo’s subordinates? Such strength could only be described as terrifying.

Before the three of them could recover from the shock, the other subordinates had already regrouped around Leo Ray.

“Reporting to the Lord, all Tree Guardian Giants have been slaughtered.” Carrying a giant sword, Taylor saluted respectfully, speaking to Leo Ray.

“Very well, let’s move on.”

Nodding slightly, Leo Ray sheathed his longsword and spoke, as if what had just transpired was but a brief interlude.

“Lord, please wait a moment.”

At this moment, the sound of Jasper Richardson’s bell-like voice rang out beside them.

Looking in the direction of the sound, she was squatting in front of a Tree Puppet that had lost its energy, her hands rippling with magic, as if searching for something within the trunk.

After a short while, under the urging of Jasper Richardson’s spatial force, a fist-sized, emerald green crystal emerged from the trunk and floated before everyone’s eyes.

“Lord, it really is an Elf Core!”

Seeing this, Jasper Richardson’s delicate face revealed a trace of surprise and joy as she excitedly spoke to Leo Ray..
