Chapter 40: Treants
Chapter 40: Treants
Run!
Run!
Demons, they are demons!
Theyre obviously pirates, evil individuals who kill, rape, loot, and commit all kinds of atrocities, but now, they acted like a vulnerable group that has been prosecuted.
How disgusting.
Bai Luo looked at the escaping pirates with a cold expression.
If they were innocent fishermen living here, Bai Luo would choose to conquer them, then slowly reform them, turning them into his subjects.
When dealing with ordinary people, Bai Luo adheres to the principle of not killing if not necessary.
After all, they have no grievances with each other. If possible, on the premise of ensuring the interests of the Ardennes, Bai Luo wouldnt go too far. He isnt a tyrant after all.
Pirates on the other hand
They are enemies. Bai Luo will not show mercy to them, and he has no intention of converting such trash into the new citizens of Arden.
As for capturing them as laborers, its simply ridiculous.
They have Lilith, a powerful fairy. Her magic can build houses, roads, castles, and more with ease. Even if they bring tens of thousands of slaves, they wouldnt be able to compare with Liliths workload in a few days.
So, adhering to the principle of not leaving one behind and beheading on the spot, Bai Luo ordered the Ardennes to continue chasing and killing them until they were forced into the forest, only then did they stop.
Everyone, stop chasing!!
Bai Luo issued an order and passed it on through the white eagles.
Soon, all the Ardennes were back.
Shirley?
Bai Luo asked Shirley to use her perception to check the number of the remaining pirates, and she replied that 100 remain.
This means that in the past few minutes, more than 1,000 pirates died in their hands.
Shirley only struck a few times, seemingly a grand scene, but because Bai Luo restrained her, not allowing her to rampage at will, she actually killed less than 300 pirates.
The rest is the doing of the Ardennes.
Indeed, compared to normal humans, the Ardennes are really monsters. Their physical quality is superhuman. Not only do they possess superhuman power, but their reaction speed is also far beyond that of ordinary people.
Although the average Ardennes dont dare to claim that they can single-handedly defeat 100 soldiers. However, if they rely on sneak attacks and assassination, with sufficient weapons, one Ardennes can indeed kill one hundred people.
Haha, I finally stretched my muscles, so happy!
Diana threw a stolen pirate sword on the ground. It was in a bad state, covered with nicks,
Its just that these weapons are too bad, dozens of them are not enough.
I killed 41, is there anyone with a higher score?
Diana shouted, wanting to compare with everyone to prove that her valor hadnt diminished.
44.
Jerah calmly quoted a number.
50.
Noel felt that his score should be the highest, but elder sister Issafeiya and uncle Saros hadnt stated a precise number yet.
The others reported their kill count one after another. Sheila has killed 15, and the one with the least kills was Emmett.
Her fighting style relies mainly on poison, hence few people were directly killed by her, only 7. However, many more were indirectly affected, so she is an excellent supporter.
You guys are too fierce, I only killed 12 of them.
Inya felt that she really had bad luck, following the old man to battle.
If I knew this, I wouldnt have followed daddy. He loves to snatch my kills!
At the end, when their kill count was totaled, they found that it only added up to around 700, but there were still about 300 left
Feiya and the old man killed three hundred?
I killed 95, Uncle Saros bluntly said,
Feiya should have killed 203.
Hmm.
Issafeiya never takes the initiative to ask for credit. She even felt that her record was somewhat weak this time, nothing to show off.
Boss, what about the group in the forest? Should we chase after them?
Lilith has moved ahead.
Bai Luo said,
You guys clean up this place. Ill go to the forest to take a look.
By the way.
Bai Luo stopped and looked behind, Kill those who escaped into the sea too.
Some pirates choose to jump into the sea, but most of them fled into the depths of the forest.
This was Mondos last order before he died, and they apparently took it as their last straw.
However, the forest is not a good place. At least, its even deadlier than Shirley and the Ardennes for these pirates.
As you command!
The Ardennes were still unsatisfied from the previous battle. With Bai Luos order, they immediately launched a hunt for the enemies who fled to the beach.
As for those pirates who fled to the forest 1,000 pirates were killed by them, and the remaining 100 were nothing to fear.
However, Bai Luo is a cautious person. It would be troublesome if those pirates spread out across the forest, hence he sent Lilith.
Those pirates that escaped into the forest are simply seeking death.
Both Noel and Jerah had fought against Lilith in a forest. The two of them are afraid that they would never forget her terrifying power.
Haaa~ Haaa~
They were first attacked by the Ardennes, then frightened by Shirleys terrifying power; the remaining 100 or so pirates seemed to have lost their fighting spirit, almost desperate.
Damn!
A pirate angrily shouted,
What are they? How can they be so powerful?
Flying horses, as well as lightning and storms, is this the wrath of the gods?
The pirates are terrified. Many of them even started to doubt whether they are in a nightmare, and some even repented.
If it werent for the fact that there was no God in this world, some of them would likely pray on the spot, asking for Gods forgiveness.
To this, Bai Luo would naturally not refuse,
I will fulfill your wishes and send you to God.
What should we do?
What do these guys want?
Snap.
One of the pirates stepped on a branch, breaking it. It made a clear sound even in this darkness.
Ahh!!!
The sudden noise terrified the group of pirates, causing them to flee in fear.
Whats going on?!
Run?
RUN!!
The pirates shriek caused a chain reaction. The other pirates didnt know what happened but, driven by fear, they followed other people and ran.
Haa, Haa, Haa.
The pirates almost used all their strength and ran wildly.
A group of people shuttled through the dense forest, rustling. They trekked in the dark, not even daring to light a torch, for fear that the terrifying demons would notice the firelight, chase after, and kill them.
However, after running away for a long time, they noticed that there wasnt the slightest trace of pursuers.
Who is it? Which idiot said to run?!
Making me run for so long, ???????!
We hahaa Where are we now?
One by one, the pirates were panting, but their fear was not soothed by exhaustion.
Under the darkness, the solitude of the forest was even greater. The gloomy environment and the threat of death have woven into a large black net, enveloping the group of pirates.
Ah~~
The silence was broken by a scream, startling the pirates,
Whats wrong? What happened again? Which idiot screamed?
Boom~Boom!
The pirate received no answer, but rather an earthquake-like motion.
The ground beneath his feet was trembling, and the sound of trees breaking reverberated in all directions. A certain pirate only felt a strong wind blowing in his face, filled with the smell of soil.
Boom!
Severe pain rushed straight to his brain, followed by eternal darkness.
Boom.
la la la la~
More and more inexplicable noises sounded. The latter was the sound of swaying trees, but there is neither wind nor rain, why would such a thing happen?
What the hell is going on? What the hell is going on here?!
A pirate finally couldnt bear it any longer. With trembling hands, he took out a fire heart coal from his pocket, a tool specially used to make fire at sea.
Because he had nothing to burn, he simply took out a bottle of booze, sprinkled it on the ground, and dropped the fire heart coal in his hand.
Hula~~
The flames burned, and the light finally illuminated this dark, gloomy forest.
Ah, ah, ah
However, in the next moment, the pirate opened his mouth wide, as if he saw something horrific. He staggered back with trembling legs, mysterious yellow liquid dripping from his crotch.
The dry bark, the wrinkled face, and the sunken eye sockets on the tree trunk staring at him dead in the face.
The corpses of other pirates hang on its branches, pierced through, but more slipped on the ground.
The corpses of the pirates littered the ground, stepped on by the tree monsters, and turned into meat patties. The blood mixed with the dirt gave off a disgusting smell. The pirates that were still alive looked at this scene with extreme terror, their legs were soft and their crotches were wet.
Roar!!!
The treants heaved a sharp and terrifying roar, completely destroying every pirates spiritual defense.
Ahh!!!!
In the firelight, the shadows of the pirates getting torn apart were reflected on the ground, followed by the feet of the giant treants stepping on their remains; Along with the sound of bones breaking, they were crushed into meat sauce.
It wasnt until dawn that the forest gradually regained its calm. The blood and mutilated body parts disappeared, leaving only the lush trees and the smooth even land.
Splash!
A large bucket of cold water was poured down on his head, and a pirate woke up screaming, snot, and tears trickling down his face.
Monster! Monster! Dont kill me, dont kill me!
The memory of the darkness and the terrifying tree monster was still vivid.
He didnt know what happened at all, the only thing he remembered was those terrifying large trees with faces and eyes, like demonic monsters.
Can this guys brain still function?
Noel couldnt help but say,
He looks like he has been scared silly?
The treants awakened by lady Lilith are indeed terrifying, Jerah said. She has a deep understanding of the terror of these monsters.
Its already good that he wasnt frightened to death after encountering such a monster.
Wake all of them up.
Bai Luo asked the children to continue fetching water, then splashed the last three pirates left in the entire fishing village, waking them up one after the other.
Ahh!
Help! Help!
After they woke up, their reactions were very consistent, all crying and begging for mercy.
Bai Luo didnt directly kill these people.
The main reason why he didnt kill them is to ask them some questions. Moreover, they passed out due to excessive fright, falling on the ground among the pile of corpses. The treants couldnt distinguish between them and the bodies around, indirectly saving their lives.
The treants are awakened by Liliths fairy magic, but they have no intelligence and cant be considered true life forms.
Just like the thousands of mushroom people before, they are actually more like Liliths puppets, or rather marionettes whose strings are controlled by her.
When Bai Luo found these surviving pirates, he asked Lilith to tie them up with vines and hang them in the fishing village port.
Bai Luo needs to ask questions to get more information.
For example, what about the remaining eighty pirates, are they guarding some kind of treasure?
Also, why are there no vessels here? Not even fishing boats? Are there more pirates that have set out to plunder?
The most important thing is the number of these people and when they will return.
Ill ask you a few questions.
Bai Luo opened his mouth to ask, but the three pirates immediately clamored
Dont kill me, dont kill me.
Let me go, please let me go.
In their eyes, Bai Luo was no different from a demon king from hell, extremely terrifying.
Tsk. Bai Luo didnt look happy.
So noisy.
Lilith.
The little fairy understood, she pulled out her magic wand, then pointed it to the three pirates.
Afterward, pink smoke enveloped the three of them, getting into their nose and mouth as they breathed. Soon after, the three pirates lost their consciousness.
They were very dizzy, just their being very drunk.
Lilith cast a psychedelic spell on them. The effect of this fairy spell is a bit like Veritaserum from Harry Potter.
