Global Game: Crazy Mobile App-Chapter 166 - 162: Giant Tree Guardian
After replenishing some consumables,
Hang Yu activated the Teleportation Stele.
He directly teleported from the camp to a foreign place.
This place also had a teleportation stele, with the area around it as a safe zone. Behind it was a hillside, offering a wide view when looking into the distance.
The World Tower is right ahead!
He felt one thing—shock!
Even though he was mentally prepared, seeing it with his own eyes still left him in awe!
A giant tower stood amidst the twilight and dusk.
It did not appear to be a marvel created by civilization.
It more resembled an enormous, straight, branchless gray-white monstrous tree.
Majestic, towering, incredible!
Because it was too far away, it was hard to determine its exact diameter, let alone estimate how tall the tower was since part of it pierced into the clouds.
The ground surrounding the tower.
Was filled with countless root-like structures,
intertwining and covering an area of several dozen kilometers, forming a complex natural maze of an immense scale. Just watching from a distance brought a feeling of intrinsic oppression.
The natural grand maze is indeed the World Tower Labyrinth.
The average monster level is about level seven.
The environment within the World Tower Labyrinth is extremely complex and dangerous.
However, besides dangerous monsters, the labyrinth hides many treasures and adventures.
Hang Yu’s primary task in the Spirit Realm next is to conquer this natural grand maze, a task no less difficult than today’s campaign battle.
Yet he understood clearly.
Humans cannot stay in this place forever.
Whether the labyrinth or the tower, they will inevitably be conquered eventually.
Since it’s better to act sooner than later, as not many are willing to come here now, many foreseeable benefits within the maze could be taken ahead of others, making it worthy of some adventure.
The hour was late.
Certainly, today he could not enter the maze.
But he could explore the maze entrance.
Hang Yu dared not to be careless, for the maze entrance wasn’t easy to pass.
As Hang Yu neared the maze entrance, he discovered a very peculiar forest here, as if each tree grew upside down. A large number of roots broke through the soil, exposed outward, and each root surface was covered in barbs, resembling octopus tentacles that moved, giving a bizarre feeling.
This is it!
The Giant Tree Guardian!
Hang Yu’s mind quickly recalled information about this monster.
This twisted forest contained hundreds of octopus-like writhing roots. To the uninformed, each root might seem like a separate monster, but in fact, they were all part of one, originating from one monster.
It was a lord monster called the "Giant Tree Guardian."
Level 6 lord monster, one level higher than the Wild Boar Commander.
Don’t assume lord monsters are common.
In reality, lords in the Descent Forest are extremely rare.
Only in level 5 camps and a few particularly unique locations can such level monsters be found.
Unfortunately, outside the World Tower Labyrinth, there happens to be one, acting as both a gatekeeper and deterrent. Want to enter the labyrinth as a human? First, endure its baptism and torment!
Hang Yu couldn’t even single-handedly deal with the Wild Boar Commander.
How was it possible to defeat the Giant Tree Guardian?
Yet, the Giant Tree Guardian wasn’t impossible to tackle one-on-one.
As long as Hang Yu had the chance to get close to its core body, he was confident he could defeat it solo; it was merely exceptionally challenging to approach its body. But for today, he might as well give it a try!
Gale Step activated!
Hang Yu engaged Stealth!
Like an arrow shooting rapidly into the Monster Forest.
Stealth skills were ineffective here; the root surfaces, moving like tentacles, immediately opened bizarre and menacing eyes which quickly locked onto the invading Hang Yu.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Unbelievably fast!
The scene resembled a volley of arrows!
Spiky-rooted tree roots first dispatched surface barbs.
A countless number of hair-thin attacks flew, instantly filling every surrounding nook.
Hang Yu was forced out of stealth status, but despite the density of the attacks, the damage was not significant, allowing him to withstand for the moment.
This was only the beginning!
All tentacle-like roots became animated.
Madly rushing from all sides, each root burst forth with piercing momentum; their speed nearly indistinguishable to the naked eye, constantly assaulting Hang Yu.
"So fast!"
Hang Yu had to halt his advance.
The flashing electric light of the Long Spear struck with astonishing speed.
Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!
With surpassing mortal imagination in speed and precision, he shattered several attacking roots in the blink of an eye, then continued his movement, weaving left and right to attempt to reach deeper into the Monster Forest.
Unexpectedly,
tree roots not only existed above ground but were more frequently hidden below.
One such root broke through underfoot, catching Hang Yu off guard and snagged his waist.
"Not good!"
Hang Yu was immobilized, and in an instant, from all directions, tree roots, like bloodthirsty pythons, swiftly coiled around him, wrapping him up like a giant dumpling.
An intense feeling of suffocation hit him! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
A tremendous sense of oppression hit him!
The surface barbs on the roots rapidly elongated, penetrating armor and piercing skin, drawing life energy from his body!
-5, -5, -5!
Ah, indeed, was it a failure after all?
Hang Yu did not resign to defeat, his body suddenly moved, unleashing astonishing strength.
He forcibly tore apart the iron-like roots, breaking free from their encirclement within a second, rushing thirty or forty meters with countless fragments scattered—a truly domineering display.
This was the recently mastered Barbarian skill—Barbaric Charge!
Hang Yu’s level 3 Enhanced Barbaric Charge was extremely powerful, capable of rushing over thirty meters in less than a second, and during the charge, his entire body was equipped with Overlord Body, producing incredible destruction.
The robust roots shattered upon impact.
Hang Yu subsequently accelerated and escaped from the Monster Forest.
This attempt ended in failure; the reason was insufficient agility and speed!
The Giant Tree Guardian is a unique lord monster.
It’s definitely not simple; even a hundred-man squad rushing in without enough strength would be annihilated.
But stating its difficulty, it might not be that hard; if the method and conditions are met, sometimes one person can challenge it.
Agility!
Movement Speed!
These two are essential to challenge the Giant Tree Guardian!
The Giant Tree Guardian’s attack roots cover an extensive area!
Breaking roots won’t harm the Giant Tree Guardian but will draw relentless attacks from them, making survival nearly impossible over time.
However,
If speed is sufficient,
If agility is high enough,
The challenger may have the chance to pass through the attack zone, and near the Giant Tree Guardian’s core body, there are no such roots. It’s a Plant Series monster; its core body strength is rather average and incapable of movement.
Once close to the Giant Tree Guardian’s core body,
Hang Yu has over fifty percent confidence in defeating it!
Such a lord monster, if slain, promises considerable benefits and rewards!
The enticement is so substantial for Hang Yu, thinking that with the Rapid Shadow Spear’s 5 points agility bonus and reasonably good basic attributes, he could barely traverse the Monster Forest...but now it’s evident he was too optimistic, halted at the outskirts; without Barbaric Charge for a fallback saving grace, he’d surely be overwhelmed!
"My speed and agility are still not high enough."
"Hmm, for today, it’s best to stop here and head back to prepare."
Hang Yu was not in a hurry.
Because the Giant Tree Guardian is right here.
It cannot run away, nor will anyone arrive to snatch the monster.
