Chapter 44 － Hurt

Those arrows were shot by Heng Luo from hundreds of mile away.

Together with those flying arrows, the jungle started to move. All the plants seemed to have awakened a conscience. They were shaking their branches in order to confuse those warriors hidden in the jungle. The shadows of the branches had completely merged with the shadows of the arrows, and even the powerful Senior Magi couldn’t tell the direction from where the arrows would come.

“Damn!”

Followed by a light whiz, a Black Water Serpent Clan warrior shouted out.

An arrow flashed across his face, leaving a small cut on it. The next moment, however, this hair-thick small cut suddenly enlarged, and expanded into a palm-wide cut.

Black, pus-like blood gushed out from the slash; the skin and flesh on his face were rapidly decaying. This warrior instantly started wailing and screaming. He tried to scratch his own face, but his hands corroded soon as well; he watched as his own fingers turned into drops of black blood and dripped down onto the ground; even his bones were completely corroded.

A great wave of cries and screams burst out from the crowd of Black Water Serpent Clan warriors, who were hiding in the dark jungle and waiting for orders launch the attack. These warriors fell on the ground one after another, and their bodies melted quickly into puddles of black blood. Three huge, horned serpents were darting around agitatedly, continuously hissing, with their black fork-shaped tongue hung out.

Some of these warriors were hit by the arrows in their vital parts, whereas most only got their faces or fingers scratched. However, the poison, made by Qing Fu, was too powerful. In the span of few breaths, the poison took the warriors’ lives through the scratches.

Over a hundred snakeskin armors were left lying on the ground, soaked in the black pus-like blood, corroded by the poison in the blood, and made sizzling noises.

“Shameless! Bastards! How dare you stab us in the b…!” yelled a Senior Magus, who was sent flying in the air by Treeman’s branch. However, once the poor man opened his mouth, a thick vine shoved into his mouth and broke all his teeth, nearly reaching his stomach through his throat.

Another Senior Magus, who also was beaten hard by Treeman earlier, shouted. The horned serpents stopped fleeing immediately, turned around and pounced on Treeman, with their jaws wide opened.

From quite some distance, the three horned serpents shot a large amount of venom towards Treeman.

The two flame-like green eyes of Treeman were gleaming. He opened his treehole-like mouth and blew a thick, cold fog towards the serpents. At the same time, the plants around him started to squirm madly; leaves and small branches were shot out towards those serpents.

Treeman ignored the venom of those serpents. He was an ancient tree, to begin with, which meant that none of the vipers or venomous miasmas in this jungle could ever hurt him.

Two of the horned serpents were beaten back by the bullet-like leaves and branches. The third serpent, however, managed to approach Treeman and bit hard on one of his roots. A piece of tree bark was bitten into pieces, along with cracking noises. The serpent slacked its jaws, coughed a mouthful wood splinters out, embarrassedly. There was no blood or flesh inside Treeman’s body, except wood. The serpent tried to inject its venom into Treeman’s body, but failed.

Following that, an, one hundred feet tall, silhouette rose from under Treeman’s roots. It was none other than Stone, who had just punched Ji Mu’s chest. Now he raised his foot high and stamped hard on the bodies of the three serpents.

Bang!
