Chapter 2253

~5 min read 970 words

In an instant, green arrows filled the sky and the ground.

The four Great Angels quickly scattered, flying beyond the arrows' range.

Over a thousand green light-arrows gathered into one place, becoming a single thick bundle of arrows.

Swoosh—

The air was compressed, letting out a sharp whistle.

The arrow bundle no longer looked like arrows, but like a green flood, slamming head-on into the bone dragon at the very front.

The bone dragon showed no fear, taking the hit head-on.

Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack!

Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack!

Its hard skull held firm against the dense arrows.

But the bone dragon still underestimated the power of these thousand arrows.

After all, they were arrows from a Tier-6 elven Windrunner, arrows shot from an elven bow, arrows fired using a skill by Ren Yunchuan, and the bone dragon had already had a great deal of its status drained by the Blazing Phoenix.

Cracks appeared on the skull.

The instant one crack appeared, countless others appeared as well.

Crack! Crack-crack-crack-crack!

Crash!

The skull shattered, and the bone dragon fell apart.

The giant bones disintegrating in the air slammed down toward the tree's trunk.

Over a dozen tree-arms reached out together.

Boom-boom!

Crack! Crash~!

The charging bones carried tremendous momentum; the two frontmost tree-arms were heavily damaged and snapped clean off.

But the dozen or so tree-arms behind them successfully blocked the rushing bones, protecting the elves inside.

At the same time, those tree-arms bent and folded, hurling the dragon bones out like cannonballs.

The bone dragon roared and dodged aside.

The tree-arms stretched upward.

Suddenly, the branches let out a tremendous noise.

Like fireworks exploding, hundreds of tree-vines burst out in an instant.

Like hundreds of pythons surging upward, they madly bound the two bone dragons in the sky.

However, those two were dragons after all.

Their bodies wrapped in tree-vines, they looked like two green rice dumplings.

But their bodies were simply too massive; compared to the bone dragons' size, those tree-vines, though thick, really did look rather thin.

The bone dragons flew forward with violent force.

Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack-crack!

As expected, the tremendous pulling force made the hundreds of tree-vines snap apart in rapid succession.

Along with them, several thick tree-arms were also torn and broken.

Dozens of elves cried out in alarm, falling from the tree.

A white figure approached.

The Great Angels fired Jin Guang, and the elves' falling speed instantly slowed, then stopped.

The elves thanked them one after another, quickly leaping to safe spots on the tree.

The bone dragons weren't entirely unscathed either.

At the ribs, the tailbone, the leg bones, and even the wing bones, multiple bones had been wrapped and snapped by the tree-vines.

Already burned black all over with missing bones, they now looked even more half-wrecked.

Now they truly looked like "bone dragons" in the truest sense.

One exchange of moves was over.

The two bone dragons were rather in a sorry state, counting as light injuries.

The hundreds of branch-vines the giant tree had grown were nearly all broken, and several thick tree-arms had also been torn off.

It looked rather more serious.

But the giant tree's regenerative ability was very strong.

Buds had already begun sprouting at the broken limbs.

Of course it couldn't compare to the tree-vines' instant growth, but given a little time, all the tree-arms could grow back completely.

At this moment, Jin Guang rose once more.

The four Great Angels emitted healing light together, and the buds grew rapidly, in the blink of an eye maturing into new giant tree-arms.

"Again!"

Ren Yunchuan steadied his footing, once more emitting astonishing green light from his entire body.

The elves drew their bows one after another, aiming at the distant bone dragons.

The giant tree turned its body, facing the charging bone dragons, preparing for the next attack.

However, the remaining two bone dragons did not fly back.

Instead, they flew rapidly northward.

They ran?

The lords all saw this scene and excitedly clenched their fists.

It seemed the battle over here had been won.

However, the bone dragon wasn't fleeing — it was going to regroup.

To merge with the bone dragons to the north.

The lords had been retreating at full speed and were now quite far from those few mountain giants.

But the mountain giants were so massive that they could still be seen clearly at this distance.

Of the six bone dragons fighting the mountain giants, five remained — one had already died.

But there were even fewer mountain giants, only two left.

The other three had already fallen, becoming three stone mountains.

They had also become a quarry for the living mountain giants.

The two living mountain giants picked up boulders and hurled them with all their might.

The boulders flew about carrying tremendous force.

Unfortunately, the hit rate was too low.

Bone dragons weren't exactly the fastest-moving of dragon-kind, but dodging huge cumbersome stones was still no problem for them.

The boulders flew up one after another, and missed one after another.

Truly a pity.

If they could land one hit, it might cause considerable damage.

That fallen bone dragon was probably injured by a single boulder strike, then finished off by repeated hits.

Facing this situation, the mountain giants seemed to have no good solution either.

Their movements really were too slow.

Mountain giants were better suited for assault.

For example, attacking castles, striking city walls — used as siege weapons.

Having them fight bone dragons really wasn't a good fit.

Slow fighters against fast movers.

Ground creatures against flying creatures.

It was too much to ask of them.

But there was no choice.

They could only let the mountain giants buy as much time as possible.

They really did succeed in buying a great deal of time.

As mere meat shields, they were at least passable.
