Chapter 2345: Surprise Troops (19)

Are these Titans going to melee again?

Three 40-meter Storm Titans going toe-to-toe with a 200-meter-tall, 40-meter-thick tree?

Are they serious?

Seven Bone Dragons plus fifteen Hellhounds couldn't finish off this Ancient Tree even after nearly half an hour.

Although the Bone Dragons weren't at full condition, that's still impressive.

Now this Ancient Tree, apart from Zhao Chi's buff, has clearly grown a lot on its own, and it looks like it's evolved—these three Storm Titans want to melee it?

Seems like these giant creatures don't feel fear either.

All completely fearless.

I had this feeling when they were fighting the Hellhounds, and now looking at these three Storm Titans, it's the same.

They still stride toward the giant tree, fists as big as carriages smashing down hard.

Boom!

Three Titans, six fists.

Every fist slammed into the giant tree.

Looks like tremendous force.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Crack!

Every punch landed!

The giant tree's deep-purple bark split open, revealing fresh pink trunk inside.

These Titans really have some tricks.

No sharp bone-blades like the Bone Dragons, but fists packed with power.

However, nearly a thousand half-meter-thick vines dropped down and instantly wrapped around the three Titans.

This is where they fall short compared to the Bone Dragons.

The Titans have no speed advantage, can't quickly snap or tear the vines.

Can only rely on their own strength to break free.

Struggling, writhing.

The vines split apart.

More vines came to wrap around them.

The vines split apart again.

Vines grew, wrapping around them once more.

More and more vines—the Storm Titans can no longer break free.

Then the vines began to tighten.

But these Storm Titans are different from the Bone Dragons; their entire bodies seem to be made of powerful blue muscle.

Although the vines are tough and thick, they can't crush the Titans the way they crushed the Bone Dragons' bones—only leaving grooves pressed into their muscles.

But the three Titans can't break free either, can't counterattack, stuck in a constant test of strength.

Neither side can gain the upper hand.

Are they going to be locked in a stalemate like this?

How long would this fight take?

Just as Zhao Chi was considering whether to step in and help—stab a few times through the gaps in the vines—the vines made their move.

Hundreds of vines lifted together.

The Ancient Tree's trunk also leaned back.

All three Titans were lifted off the ground.

They seemed to realize something and immediately struggled desperately.

But this time the Ancient Tree had wrapped too tightly—no matter how the three Titans resisted, they could no longer escape the vines' grip.

The next moment, the Ancient Tree began to swing.

The entire trunk was swaying.

Along with all the vines, and the three wrapped-up Titans, everything was swaying.

The amplitude of the swing grew larger and larger.

Soon, just like swinging a flail, the three Titans were completely swung around.

The next moment—slammed hard into the ground!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Thud! Thud thud!

What a dull, heavy crash.

That slam directly shattered several dozen vines, purple-pink sap splattering everywhere—but it didn't matter, new vines came wrapping around again.

And through the gaps between the vines, blue liquid flowed out.

That would be the Titans' blood.

The three Titans' struggling grew much weaker.

Physical attacks really are effective.

"Squeak!!!"

The Ancient Tree seemed to be roaring happily too, and immediately the vines swung up again.

The Titans could no longer struggle.

A moment later, another slam.

Thud thud! Thud!

This time even more blue blood flowed out, and the three Titans' struggles grew weaker.

The giant tree didn't stop, swinging up again.

Slamming down.

Swing up, slam down.

Back and forth, more than ten times.

Finally, it stopped.

The tree vines loosened.

Inside was already mashed into a pulp of meat.

The blue flesh and blood spread open, with white bones within.

All three Titans had been smashed to pieces.

Flesh torn from bone.

"Good, let's go up, go find the Nine-Headed Lizard's and the Titans' tokens. If there aren't any, go extract the Titans' lightning meridians — they're in the arm area, they might carry a charge, be careful."

"Understood!"

Zhao Chi immediately led Tang Ruan and Qi Yue closer.

The first stop was beside the Nine-Headed Lizard's corpse.

The Titans had only just died, and it was unclear whether something might change, so they could go check those later.

Quickly, the three rushed closer.

They began searching through the Nine-Headed Lizard's corpse and severed heads.

It had to be said, it was way too foul-smelling.

Even though this Nine-Headed Lizard was on their side, Zhao Chi still had to say it.

It really was like arriving at a cesspit.

Even worse than a cesspit — a rotten, putrid stench.

Even Tang Ruan and Qi Yue frowned.

For Zhao Chi, whose perception was overly sharp, this was even less friendly.

But there was no choice.

For the tokens, dig in!
