Chapter 2332: Thad’s minions (plus more)

Qiao An has a habit of always having a strong curiosity about unknown things, eager to explore the mysteries hidden behind all novel things.
This is not his unique hobby, but an "occupational disease" of the "mage" profession. To be more precise, a person who is not sufficiently curious will never become a wizard, and Ms. Fiona is no exception.
In fact, Fiona has done some research on the two demonized plants that threaten the Deep Forest Valley, and now she will tell Qiao An and others about her research results.
"Dr. Vader, the'blood-sucking tree root' we saw in the mirror was actually just an ordinary vine plant. It was forcibly grafted to the'Gantias Demon Tree' by the leader of the Conquered Order, Dolan Teresis. Only after the roots mutated into this disgusting appearance, at the same time it became more dangerous and evil."
"The main body of the'blood-sucking tree roots' is a large mess of dark red nodules, usually hidden deep in the soil, and it is not easy to see the whole picture. The two roots used for hunting are exposed on the ground, which can extend 30 feet away. ."
"'Vampiring tree roots' are good at digging and sneaking in the ground. They often launch surprise attacks from the ground, tie their prey with sharp roots, puncture wounds, and greedily blood."
"A creature stabbed by this evil plant has cursed wounds and cannot stop bleeding and heal itself. Before bandaging the wound, the curse must be removed or treated with magical techniques, otherwise it will soon die from excessive blood loss."
"The'blood-sucking tree root' has no self-awareness, and its intelligence is similar to that of insects, but it also uses different tactics when hunting according to the characteristics of the prey."
"For those prey that wear armor or have a hard shell, the roots are not easy to cause harm, they will sneak close to the prey from the ground, launch a sneak attack from under the feet, use the roots to entangle the prey, drag it into the depths of the soil and bury it alive until the prey Died of suffocation."
"The'blood-sucking tree roots' are always careful to avoid exposing the body to the surface. As for the two hunting roots, even if they are cut off, they are not fatal, and when they draw enough blood from their prey, they It can promote the growth of broken roots."
After introducing the hunting skills of "Vampire Tree Roots", Fiona then put forward two suggestions to everyone to fight against this evil plant.
"First of all, we must strengthen our precautions and always be vigilant for sneak attacks from the ground, especially when there is an abnormal tremor on the ground below our feet, which often indicates that the'blood-sucking tree roots' are approaching."
"If you can fly, try to fly as much as possible. If you can't fly, hurry up and hide on the harder ground, such as climbing on a large rock-the'sucking tree roots' can only dig soft sand, not through hard rocks. ."
"In addition, if you find that the roots of the ‘blood sucking tree’ protrude from the surface, it’s best to use a fire spell attack, which can cause double damage to it and prevent the roots from regenerating."
Qiao An took down Fiona's instructions, reached out and touched the mirror, and switched the detection perspective from "blood-sucking tree roots" to another, larger evil plant.
This monster looks like a "tree man" at first glance, with its roots twisted into a pair of giant feet, and the branches woven into two long arms. It is not less than 30 feet high. It is taking a big step, slowly and firmly approaching Taniguchi. .
Qiao An zoomed in and gave a close-up of the evil tree man in the mirror. After careful observation, there were two obvious differences between this monster and the normal treants.
The first is that three thick vines hang down from the canopy, the tips almost touch the ground, the color is dark red, and it twists like a noose with life.
In addition, the dense branches and leaves bear many fruits the size of an adult's fist. The outer shell is dark red, smooth and hard, and looks like an enlarged version of oak fruit.

When Qiao An was investigating, Fiona was also introducing the magic tree in the mirror to everyone.
"This kind of monster that looks a lot like the'tree man' is the main unit of the Thaad regiment, the'hanging tree'."
"The Hanging Tree was transformed from the oak tree grafted with the branches of the Gantias Demon Tree. It was created by Dolan Trasis earlier than the Vampire Tree Roots. The aboriginals in central Alfheim Calling him the'fallen tree man', the'gallowed head forest' where the headquarters of the'conquest of the Order' is located, is because of the frequent wandering of the'gallowed trees', it is so famous."
"Compared with gentle-tempered treants, the Hanging Tree is more ferocious and combative, and its fighting styles are more abundant than those who only wield branches and beat them."
Fiona pointed to the red vine hanging from the hanging tree in the mirror, and solemnly reminded Qiao An and others:
"These three vines are branches grafted from the'Gantias Demon Tree', which is equivalent to a 30-foot-long activation cable. The'hanging tree' uses these vines to restrain the prey in the distance and drag it to itself. After killing the prey, hang the corpse on a tree branch, like a hanged prisoner, to show off as a trophy."
"Similar to the roots of the'blood-sucking tree roots', the vines of the hanging tree can regenerate on their own after being cut. If you want to completely kill the hanging tree, you must destroy its backbone."
"In addition to the three activated vines, the hanging tree has a unique weapon, which is the nuts that grow from the branches."
"When the hanging tree finds a large group of prey close to it, it will sway the crown of the tree to separate the red nuts from the branches, and the shell burst when it hits the ground, emitting a large number of spores containing supernatural toxins, forming a cloud of red spores covering a 50-foot space around the hanging tree. ."
"A creature that accidentally inhales the spores will have hallucinations, just like being hit by a'hypnosis.' It will involuntarily eliminate the hostility to the hanging tree and take the initiative to approach the opponent. Even if it is brutally strangulated, it will not be able to raise the courage to resist."
Fiona also gave two suggestions for dealing with the "hanging tree".
"Most plants are naturally fire-fearing, but the Hanging Tree is very special. Fire-based attacks have no advantage to it, but electrical attacks can cause double damage to it."
"In addition, we should also beware of the'hypnotic spores' erupting from the fruit of the hanging tree. It is best to take magic potions with anti-toxic effects in advance."
Hearing what she said, Qiao An remembered that he took the potion soaked in "Tears of God" with him, so he took out three bottles and distributed them to Shrek, Casio and Fiona.
After taking this potion, all supernatural germs and toxins can be prevented for the next seven days, including of course the "hypnotic spores" spread by the hanging tree.
