Chapter 1021
1021 Ambush! 1!
In a dense forest, a few robust figures were advancing quickly. From the black battle armor they wore, it could be confirmed that they were the Holy Dragon city’s cultivators. They were a standard cultivator battle team.
Of course, the cultivators in this Army only had an average cultivation of level four or five. They could not be compared to the cultivators in the Holy Dragon City, which were made up of Lord cultivators.
Even so, the combat power of a team of five level four and five cultivators couldn’t be underestimated!
Although they were unfamiliar with the terrain of this mountain forest, the Holy Dragon City cultivators still walked as if they were on flat ground, constantly moving towards the predetermined location.
This place was a few hundred miles away from Snow City. The road between the two places was rugged and difficult to travel on. There was only a small path that shuttled through the mountains.
On normal days, very few people would pass through this road.
However, with the arrival of the Holy Dragon City and the demon slayers formed by the Aboriginals, this remote and difficult road that was the closest to the city of snow began to become more and more lively.
Almost every day, there would be groups of people passing through this place, heading towards Snow City.
A large portion of these people were believers of the indigenous gods and were potential enemies of the Holy Dragon City.
They did not follow the main force and entered Snow City first. They were in charge of gathering intelligence and receiving the main force.
The Holy Dragon city’s Army, which was in charge of stopping the enemy, would naturally not let these enemies pass through this area. Thus, before the main forces arrived, the Holy Dragon City cultivators who had arrived first on the flying devices immediately took corresponding actions in an attempt to stop the enemy.
These Holy Dragon City cultivators were here to carry out a mission.
After walking through the forest for a few more minutes, a stream flowing out of the forest suddenly appeared in front of them.
The stream in front of him was the only source of water in the vicinity. After flowing out from here, it would run parallel to the mountain road for some distance and then flow into a large lake.
Almost all the travelers along the way would use this stream as a supplementary water source. Otherwise, no one could persist in walking dozens of kilometers to get water from the next location.
Under the current circumstances, destroying the enemy’s drinking water source had naturally become a necessary task for the Holy Dragon City cultivators!
After looking around and confirming that there was nothing unusual, one of the Holy Dragon City cultivators took out an item and casually threw it towards the stream.
However, just as the item was about to fall into the stream, a gust of wind suddenly appeared and smashed the item into the air!
Then, dozens of strong figures rushed over from the distance and surrounded the Holy Dragon City cultivators.
Judging from their speed, they were all experts among the native cultivators, and their strength was not much inferior to the Holy Dragon City cultivators!
Seeing this, the Holy Dragon City cultivators looked at each other and immediately rushed to the other side of the river, trying to escape the enemy’s ambush.
The sound of leaves rustling came from the forest beside the stream. Then, a strange creature that looked very similar to a tree but had emerald green eyes suddenly appeared in front of the Holy Dragon City cultivators.
It waved its long branches and whipped them at the Holy Dragon City cultivators. It was as fast as a green bolt of lightning.
A Holy Dragon City cultivator was caught off guard and was struck by the branch. He immediately groaned in pain and retreated a few steps.
it’s a Lord-tier monster. Be careful!
His companion beside him reminded him. He suddenly unsheathed his sharp saber and blocked the branch that was coming at him.
The sharpness of the Holy Dragon City cultivators ‘sabers had far exceeded the Treant monster’s expectations. After the two weapons clashed, the Treant monster roared in pain.
It turned out that its several-meter-long branches had been cut off, and a dark green liquid was dripping from the broken branches.
“Damn it, you actually injured a servant of God. I will never forgive you!”
The Treant monster roared loudly and once again pounced towards the Holy Dragon City cultivator who had injured its body. At the same time, countless emerald green branches pierced towards the Holy Dragon City cultivator like Spears.
“You’re looking for death!”
Faced with the Treant monster’s attack, the Holy Dragon City cultivator did not panic. He only snorted coldly and casually took out an item from his waist, throwing it at the Treant monster.
When the Treant monster saw something coming at it, it waved its branches without hesitation, trying to swing the machine to the side.
The moment the branch came into contact with the object, a loud bang was heard. A huge shock wave and metal fragments shot out in all directions.
The Treant’s body moved slowly, and it took the impact of the explosion head-on. Its branches and leaves were sent flying everywhere!
As for the Holy Dragon City cultivators who were already prepared, they took the opportunity to hide behind the big tree to avoid being injured by the bomb.
Although the Treant monster was covered in injuries from the explosion, it did not suffer any fatal injuries due to its special physique. Now, it was pouncing again.
At this moment, the Treant monster was in an extremely sorry state. It dragged its broken body, which was constantly flowing with green liquid, and roared at the Holy Dragon City cultivators as if it had gone mad.
Through the few exchanges just now, the Holy Dragon City cultivators could already tell that the Treant monster’s close combat ability was indeed powerful, but it lacked long-range attacks.
As long as one maintained a certain distance from it, even if it had a Lord-tier cultivation base, one could still grind it to death!
However, they were surrounded by enemies at the moment. They didn’t have enough time to slowly kill this troublesome guy!
We have to find a way to break out of this place, or we’ll fall into the hands of the native cultivators sooner or later.”
Taking out the rifles hanging on their bodies, the Holy Dragon City cultivators immediately locked onto a direction and began to fire.
In the dense forest, dense gunfire immediately rang out.
As the bullets flew out, the enemies surrounding the Holy Dragon City cultivators were hit one after another and fell to the ground. Cries of alarm and curses rang out continuously.
The native cultivators, who had never fought with the Holy Dragon City cultivators, could not guess the power of the Holy Dragon city’s firearms and weapons, so they immediately suffered a great loss the moment they met!
Corpses fell in the forest one after another. The remaining native cultivators who had not been attacked were all frightened at this moment. They hid behind the big trees and did not dare to stick their heads out to avoid being shot in the head!
As for the powerful Treant monsters, they were also beaten up by the cultivators of the holy city until their fluids splashed everywhere, leaving broken branches and fallen leaves along the way.
Seeing that it was unable to break through the Holy Dragon City cultivators ‘blockade, the Treant monster could only roar in anger and retreat into the forest unwillingly.
Relying on the powerful destructive power of firearms, the Holy Dragon City cultivators temporarily had the upper hand.
However, this situation did not last for long. Very soon, the enemy began to launch long-range attacks, constantly shooting arrows and short Spears at the Holy Dragon City cultivators.
The Holy Dragon city’s standard battle armor was made of special materials and had excellent defense. However, against the special arrows shot by these indigenous cultivators, they could still be injured.
Sure enough, not long after, a Holy Dragon City cultivator was shot in the shoulder by a sharp arrow. The enchanted arrow was made of an unknown material. It actually pierced through the battle armor and pierced deep into the flesh.
The Holy Dragon City cultivator who was fighting trembled, and a drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
