Chapter 319 - 76: War and the Ancient Life Tree; The Deal (6,400 Words)
In the Vast Forest.
A giant green tree, reaching thousands of meters high, stands like a city wall upon the earth.
Beneath the giant tree, there are countless fortress-like houses made of vines, stretching endlessly.
This is the base of the Green Ghost Race.
At the boundary of the Green Ghost Race’s core territory, a ten-member patrol team of Big Ghosts led by a Ghostman suddenly sensed the sky darken.
Looking up, they saw a massive white light portal, hundreds of meters wide, had appeared in the sky, and a black torrent was surging out. The torrent consisted of demons—they had blood-red eyes, some were Blade Demons with scimitars for arms, others were Snake Demons with snake tails, and there were Flame Demons with wings of lava growing behind them, as well as Frenzy Demons, standing five to six meters tall, with crimson muscles.
Non-flying demons quickly fell to the ground, climbing out of their craters, attacking nearby Ghost Race members on their own accord.
The flying demons soared through the sky at will, sometimes concentrating energy into flame bombs or flaming arrows to bombard the Ghost Race below, sometimes diving down to snatch a Ghost Race member into the air, tearing them apart along with their flesh, consuming their souls.
The patrol team’s Ghostmen, upon witnessing this scene, didn’t hesitate and immediately sent out a warning.
Soon, a large number of warriors from the Ghost Race’s main camp territory rushed out. In a short time, more than ten thousand Big Ghosts with advanced power gathered, and more than a hundred Master-level Ghostmen also gathered, with this number continuing to grow. In the distance, flashes of green light could be seen as powerful Ghost Race members who had received the message quickly came to their aid.
The apparent power far exceeded that of the invading Demon Legion.
In the vine palace atop the towering green giant tree.
The Legendary Ghostman ’Dai’ suddenly opened his eyes, looking in the direction of the invading Demon Legion, a hint of killing intent flickering in his gaze.
Another Legendary Ghostman ’Ji’ flew over as well.
"You stay here to guard the Holy Tree. If the enemy enters the territory, don’t hesitate; activate the Tree Realm directly! I’ll be back shortly." Dai said in a deep voice, then his figure flashed and disappeared from the place.
Ji looked at Dai who went towards the battlefield, his expression somewhat tense.
At the boundary of the territory.
The Demon Warriors and the Ghost Race Warriors were fighting fiercely, one side like a black tide, with attacks mostly accompanied by scorching lava and flames, the other like a green tide, attacking with countless vines, wooden spears, and earth spikes.
The most noticeable battlefield was where the Fallen Evil Giant Nurraf and the Balrog Flame Demon were, leading twenty-odd Great Demons against over a hundred Ghostmen.
"Haha, little bugs, don’t think about escaping." The towering Fallen Evil Giant grabbed two Ghostmen in its massive hands simultaneously, ignoring the vines growing wildly that entangled its arms, and shoved them directly into its mouth, devouring their flesh and souls together.
The Balrog Flame Demon nearby flashed its silhouette, rushing into the Ghostmen, and its lava greatsword cut a Ghostman in two. Taking a big breath, it first devoured the soul, then placed the body into its mouth to chew.
In front of the fifteen- to sixteen-meter-tall Balrog Flame Demon, Ghostmen of ordinary human height were like snacks, devoured one after another, juices splattering, and those Ghostmen not weaker than a Master-level Professional had no power to resist.
Having obtained Void Power for a while, the Evil Giant and the Balrog Flame Demon, supplemented by abundant flesh and souls over these days, had now approached the pinnacle of the Pseudo-Legendary tier.
Therefore, in the face of these not-weak Ghostmen, they could basically kill in one strike, only a few strong individuals could escape their clutches.
But after all, there were over a hundred Ghostmen, and under their combined attacks, a number of weaker Great Demons were entangled by vines and crushed into a pulp. Also, after the initial chaos, half of the Ghostmen forces started coordinating and barely managed to stall the rampant Fallen Evil Giant and Balrog Flame Demon.
The battle between both sides reached a stalemate for a time.
Dai, who arrived at the scene immediately, ignored the ordinary demons and didn’t concern himself with the Ghostmen’s fierce battles against the Great Demons. Instead, his gaze fixed on an empty spot, sneering.
A green light spear instantly shot towards that empty area.
In the explosion, a flash of purple light appeared, forcing the six-armed Snake Demon Aoqi to reveal itself, looking at the floating Legendary Green Ghostman in the middle of the air with surprise.
Could the opponent actually detect its stealth techniques?
Aoqi began to feel cautious.
But it had no fear, for its master was observing the battlefield somewhere.
As usual, it acted as bait, then its master would launch a deadly strike.
While pondering, six purple curved sabers manifested in its six palms, Aoqi coldly initiated an attack.
Since the ambush was unsuccessful, it would confront head-on!
The purple saber lights struck like shadows, and in an instant, saber beams came attacking from all directions towards the Ghostman.
Dai’s palm gathered green light, an ancient rattan spear three meters long emerged, and with a twist of the spear, an arc floated out, shattering all incoming saber beams.
As the saber beams shattered, the six-armed Snake Demon also advanced close, its six arms transforming into countless phantoms, attempting to dice the Ghostman into meat paste.
"Too slow." Dai said calmly, nimbly dodging all of the Snake Demon’s attacks, maneuvering through the air, suddenly thrusting his spear, precisely hitting the flaw in the Snake Demon’s assault, piercing through and breaking one of its arms.
