Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair

The two cultists' remarks were not an excuse for themselves. After all, they had already confessed their crimes and were willing to be punished, and they were also deeply afraid of the devil's methods.

It's just that in this world, sometimes there are indeed such situations: it is better to ask God than to ask yourself, and it is better to ask the devil than to ask God. After encountering all kinds of unexpected events, seeking help from higher-level forces is often more reliable and effective.

But no matter what they thought before, at least they probably don't want to have anything to do with the devil in the future.

"There are broken limbs and bones everywhere..."

The next day, when they walked in the direction pointed by the foul demon, everyone couldn't help but be shocked by the scene along the way.

They walked on the long-abandoned road, covering the bushes and thorns, and the trees on both sides stretched out their leafless branches and swayed in the wind towards them, making a "woooo" sound from time to time. And on the treetops and on the ground, there were shriveled rotten limbs and rotten bones everywhere.

They were far from being close to the sealed place at this moment.

"The remains of undead creatures," the witch Polly licked her lips, "I suspect that Orcus is also involved. Would Grazite really like to use zombie skeletons as his subordinates?"

"Or you can think of it this way: just because you don't like them, you throw these undead creatures here," Yelena shrugged, "We'd better be nervous. It seems that there are more than just undead creatures here!"

"What else can there be?" Sera looked around, "There are only limbs and trees here, what else can there be..."

"Kara, Kaara"

Before Sera finished speaking, some plants with the same dry shapes as other trees suddenly moved behind her!

Just now, they only appeared as a bush, and even when Ron and his team opened the way and hurt them, they did not show any aggression. However, at this moment, they pulled their roots out of the ground, and countless branches gathered to form a humanoid shape with a head and limbs, and stretched out, and the claw-like branches went straight to the back of Sera, who seemed to be the largest!

"Scorching ray!" Ron raised the gem and turned around immediately after hearing the sound, but compared to these mimic creatures waiting for their prey, his movements were obviously slower.

Sera groaned, and when she looked back, her back had been cut open, leaving four deep scratches that could see the bone.

According to the low intelligence and hunting instinct of these creatures, they first attacked the largest prey by sneak attack, and then surrounded and ate the others. This trick may be very useful for ordinary beasts, but not necessarily for barbarians.

"Ahhhhh!" Sera's eyes suddenly turned red due to the inexplicable injury. She grabbed the Grip of the Blue Wave in her hand, and faced the overlapping sharp branches without dodging, and plunged into the encirclement of the ambushers!

"Sera, come back! Damn it!" Ron himself didn't know who to scold, but he couldn't care about much at the moment, so he could only control the scorching ray to ignite the monsters around the barbarian as accurately as possible. Under the saturated arcane attack, a sea of ​​fire suddenly ignited in the jungle that may have been untouched for hundreds of years.

These moving plants did not have the help of green dragons to enchant, and being ignited by flames was fatal to them. At the same time, others began to fight back one after another. The ambush of these monsters not only did not let them have a good meal, but also put themselves in a desperate situation.

In the flames, the plants screamed like burning charcoal. One or two tried to escape from the flames, but their roots were burned off before they ran two steps. They were caught up by Sera and chopped into firewood on the ground with two or three swords.

"You really should wear armor," Victoria treated Sera's wounds while sitting by a bonfire made of the corpses of dead branches. "And why did you suddenly run in? Ron called you from behind but you didn't come back!"

"Next time, put a bridle and a halter on her," Ivy said half-jokingly, "Let Ron tie her up and release her when necessary."

"You don't need to fight with such a monster with obvious weaknesses, understand? A fire can burn it."

"Even with the bridle, I can't stop her," Ron smiled, "She can use me as a meteor hammer!"

"Oh! We were suddenly attacked!" Sera scratched her head embarrassedly, "What the hell are these things? I've never seen these things in my hometown!"

"If you know them, you know how to deal with them The most effective, I will not be like this. "

"Withering monsters, if you specifically refer to the things that attacked us, they are dead branch monsters," Yelena glanced at everyone, "I was worried about these guys just now, but I didn't expect them to hide so deep and so close to us."

"When I chopped it with a sword just now, they didn't react at all," Ivy picked up a branch and showed the fresh cut on it, "and they look almost the same as the surrounding plants."

"Withering monsters are enlightened plants that are endowed with intelligence and mobility, and are also plagues that spread dark infections. Their spread will crowd out and poison other healthy plants, and then replace them with thorns, poisonous weeds and the like." The witch came over. Just now, she quietly took some seeds from the surrounding woods.

She thought she did it secretly, but it was all seen by everyone.

"Just don't let them run around. I don't mind using them to guard the house," Ron glanced at the witch's hand with a hint of meaning. "If I receive news that villagers are attacked by withered monsters, I will hold you responsible."

"Don't worry about that," the witch laughed in a low voice. "What bad intentions can old Polly have?"

"You'd better pray that there are no Gantias trees nearby," Shadow Spirit reminded, "The cursed trees may affect the behavior of these plants. If you are not careful, you may become the first witch to be strangled to death by the plants you raise."

"I'm not that incompetent, old woman." Polly rolled her eyelids, seemingly not taking Shadow Spirit's warning seriously.

Shadow Spirit certainly has more opportunities to come into contact with these messy creatures, but how can others guess the witch's methods at will? It's just raising some living wood, what's the big deal!

"Ah, I feel refreshed!" After the wound healed itself under Victoria's spell, Sera stood up suddenly and stretched her arms and spine. "Damn, I've fought so many behemoths before, but I didn't expect that I would almost capsize in the gutter today!"
