The moment these ten new team members were locked by the Life Domain, they realized something was wrong. But once they were locked, even if they reacted, it would be impossible to escape.
That is to say, the Weird Tree did not use the Nirvana of Thought, otherwise it would have sent them all away in one wave.
The strange tentacles dragged the ten new team members quickly into the depths of the ground.
The strange tree succeeded in one move, and naturally without any pause, it quickly passed through the tentacles, trying to plant the mark into the bodies of the ten new team members.
But when the mark was sent over, to the surprise of Weird Tree, the ten new team members had an astonishing defensive power in their bodies, blocking the mark from their bodies.
The strange tree was shocked.
Its imprint planting has never failed on humans. Which of the agents concocted in its hands is not controlled by the mark?
Are there any humans who cannot be imprinted with? There's no way this is going to happen.
In the past, he has controlled not one hundred thousand but fifty thousand agents. With such a large number, he has never failed once. This is an astonishing success rate.
But this time, all ten new team members failed to plant. This undoubtedly greatly refreshed the strange tree's understanding of humans.
If this happens to one person, it can be said to be an accident. With more numbers and a larger base, it is understandable that strange awakening talents will appear.
But the ten new team members are all without exception, so this is by no means an accident.
There must be some amazing secret inside these ten new team members.
The strange tree was not discouraged, and the imprint surged again for a second planting. This time, it used more power to plant the mark.
But the more brutal the power of its imprint planting, the stronger the resistance generated in the bodies of these ten human captives.
This time, the strange tree finally understood. These ten human captives actually possess protective holy light with bright attributes in their bodies.
It is this holy protective power that symbolizes the power of absolute light. It forms a restraint like a heavenly restraint on the planting of dark imprints.
The imprint could not be successfully planted.
The strange tree can be described as extremely shocking. It suddenly understood why the human camp destroyed the core area and why the formation was destroyed.
The combat effectiveness of this group of human elites is not at the same level as the agents it previously controlled.
No wonder even the wizards were defeated and died.
This amazing holy light defense also has a natural restraint on the wizard's skills.
These ten team members are just a vanguard team, and they are probably not the core combat power of the human camp. The holy light defense in their bodies does not appear to be their own awakening talents, but is blessed by other awakeners with light attributes.
The blessing of spells from others has such defensive power. So what kind of terrifying existence should an awakened person who is proficient in this light attribute talent be?
Although the strange tree has extraordinary energy, in the final analysis it is just a member of the Earth Core Clan. Faced with a force whose attributes are naturally incompatible, it will instinctively feel panic and resistance. Therefore, this discovery gave the Weird Tree a panic that it had never experienced before.
After planting for the third time, the strange tree increased its power, but it still could not break through the holy light defense of these ten human captives.
The strange tree was both panicked and annoyed.
The ten team members were captured by it, but they were not worried about any threats they posed. The imprint planting may not be successful for a while, but when it comes to killing them, the strange tree has many means.
But this was not its previous plan.
Its plan is to control this group of human awakeners, turn them into agents who obey orders, and control them to achieve the purpose of confusing the human camp.
Only in this way can it hope to deceive the human army, make the human army mistakenly think that it has been eliminated, and allow the human army to retreat. Only then can it get a chance to breathe, restore the protective formation, and regain its strength.
What the Weird Tree needs is time and space. As long as it has enough time and room to perform, within two months, it can still control a large amount of territory, even several times larger than before.
But the difficulty is that in order to gain this time and space, the strategic significance of these ten human captives is very important.
If it cannot control them and make them obey its orders, the first step of its plan cannot be implemented.
Can he fight against the human army on his own?
Not to mention that this is not the fighting method it is best at. Even if it is, it cannot fight against a massive human army on its own.
What's more, the human army obviously still has elites yet to emerge.
But now that it has lost the protection of the formation and the spiritual source transportation of the surface world and the inner earth world, its own combat effectiveness is less than one-tenth of its peak period.
Its current combat effectiveness is naturally much stronger than that of the wizard back then.
But just being several times stronger than a wizard is obviously not enough.
Not to mention a few wizards, even if there are hundreds of wizards now, they can't fight against the tens of thousands of fully armed troops.
Since losing the protection of the formation, for the Weird Tree, the tactical premise can only be eight words, it can only be outsmarted, but cannot be defeated.
The Weird Tree knew that there would not be so much time for it to settle down and think. It also knows that this kind of holy light defense blessed by a third party will definitely weaken or even disappear as time goes by. It won't last very long.
But the problem now is that what it lacks is time.
These ten people disappeared for no reason. If it had been for a few minutes, they might not have alerted anyone else. Once a long time passes, even if they disappear and reappear, they will definitely arouse the suspicion of their companions.
The Weird Tree's sky vision field has long been seen. In addition to these ten prisoners, there is a group of about ten people behind. Although the battle line can be opened, they will soon reach this vicinity.
Moreover, this latter group of teams was obviously more cautious and kept a more reasonable distance from each other. Both in terms of formation and personal temperament, they were obviously better than these ten prisoners.
The Weird Tree knew that those people might be the real elite of the team that attacked Kanmen.
In fact, the human awakener with the talent of Holy Light was in the group at the back.
Once they discover that their companion is missing, they will definitely suspect its strange tree head. Once this kind of suspicion arises, they will definitely make associations and guess.
Great, where did these ten people disappear to? Why did he disappear and then reappear unscathed?
Without even thinking about it, the suspect will be pointed at it, after all, this is its territory.
If you don't want others to suspect, you must control these captives as soon as possible, plant a mark, and let these captives return to the surface world before the second team arrives here.
Only in this way can we ensure that those people's suspicions are not aroused.
But now that the mark cannot be planted, this first step is stuck. If the mark is not planted and these captives cannot be controlled, how can they be returned to the surface?
The Weird Tree knew that it had no time to waste.
As soon as he thought about it, a tentacle suddenly wrapped around a human prisoner, dragging him close and having a conversation through his thoughts.
The human prisoner was very stubborn. After becoming a prisoner, he was ashamed and annoyed, but he had no intention of surrendering. Faced with the strange tree's questioning, this guy was confused and didn't even bother to answer.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" The strange tree laughed ferociously, and the tentacles turned into a drill, prying the man's mouth open.
The tentacle roughly penetrated into the man's mouth, just like a large high-speed rotating drill bit, continuously drilling into the depths of the man's mouth and throat.
The man's mouth was blocked, and he couldn't even let out a scream. His body was roughly opened by the tentacles, and his flesh and blood flew everywhere, which was horrible to watch.
Soon, the tentacle penetrated deep into the abdominal cavity, and then penetrated between the legs.
The entire internal structure and tissue of his body had long been hollowed out, and all kinds of debris and blood spewed out.
And the strange tree did all this without avoiding the sight of the other nine human captives. Instead, it deliberately killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, so that the nine captives could see it clearly.
After all, in any form of life, the fear of death is instinctive.
Even if they have been prepared for various sacrifices before, they have also made psychological preparations for sacrifice. Setting off to the Western Frontier Region, I didn’t know how many times I suggested this kind of psychological construction along the way.
But when death actually comes, this fear is still difficult to resist. Especially seeing a companion die in such a tragic way before one's eyes, the psychological impact cannot be described in words.
The strange tree said calmly: "Do you want to be like him?"
Although these ten prisoners are not weak, if they are to be said to be tough, they are definitely tougher than the original agents of the Weird Tree.
But it is unrealistic to say that we completely ignore the threat of death. Perhaps there were two or three who acted relatively tough, knowing that they would definitely die. The rest had pale faces, and the fear in their eyes had long betrayed their thoughts.
In this way, it would not be difficult to pry open their mouths if the Weird Tree wanted to get any information.
When someone confesses, someone will naturally scold him.
The Weird Tree has no intention of playing a routine of defeating each one and dividing them one by one. Those who are tough and unwilling to cooperate will be directly punished with capital punishment.
Not long after, only six of the ten prisoners were left in the blink of an eye.
"How about you guys, are you going to be like them, or surrender to me?" The Weird Tree didn't play any carrot and stick tricks.
For those who remain, the threat of death is most immediate.
The remaining six prisoners were all trembling with fear and had already been frightened out of their wits. Although they cherish their feathers, they know that taking refuge in the strange tree means becoming a traitor and severing themselves from the human camp.
But in the current situation, they have no other choice.
Especially when they saw the four bloody messes, they lost the confidence to resist.
It’s down!
There seemed to be some hesitation on the face, but the body lowered honestly.
Take the initiative to surrender, take the initiative to let go of the Holy Light defense, and allow the mark of the strange tree to be planted in their bodies.
When the mark of the strange tree was planted in their bodies, they immediately felt that their lives had an obvious bond, and they obviously had a strange connection with the strange tree.
This link may not be visible or tangible, but they can clearly sense its existence. It's like a curse hanging over their lives.
"Lord Shuzu!"
The mark will naturally transform them, allowing them to naturally understand how they should be loyal to the strange tree.
This is also why it is not that difficult for the Weird Tree to control so many agents.
Once the mark is planted, this mark will naturally appear in the agent's sea of consciousness. This kind of imprint is even clearer and easier to perceive than blood inheritance.
The Weird Tree also quickly instilled its intentions into the six freshly minted agents.
Time waits for no one, everything must be done as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, after the strange tree imprint is successfully planted, communication can be directly through instillation, without the need to tell each other word by word.
This saves a lot of trouble and time. Although the amount of information was huge, the six prisoners quickly figured out their ideas.
After they learned about the strategic intention of the Weird Tree, they were all dumbfounded.
Master Shuzu's intention was to confuse the human army through the death of a substitute through Li Daitao's method.
Substitutions are not unusual for the Weird Tree. The weird tree that was in Star City even gave the agent a substitute in the shape of a leaf.
Of course, what can be used as a substitute by the weird tree is definitely not a simple stand-in prop, it must be enough to be fake and real.
…
Five minutes later, the six prisoners of the Strange Tree returned to the ground, and they also brought back the shapeless corpses of the other four companions.
At the same time, their faces were filled with the joy of success, pride and excitement.
Almost at this moment, the team led by He Jin finally tracked here.
The two groups of people finally reunited.
Sangou was the first to complain: "Do you guys have ears? I told you not to chase and fight fiercely, and to maintain your formation. Are you crazy for trying to make meritorious deeds? Are you going to listen to what the command team said? What did Captain Jiang say? Are you still listening?"
Sangou's words were justified. Although the six new team members did not contradict him, their faces were full of sneers and pride.
"What are you yelling about? So what if Captain Jiang is your second brother?"
"That's right, what's the point of a fox pretending to be a tiger? Aren't you just afraid that if we run fast and make achievements, we will block your achievements?"
Sangou was furious when he heard this and was about to curse, but was blocked by He Jin.
He Jin said calmly: "Everyone, that's not what you said before setting off. If you don't obey the command, you can't be said to be reasonable, right?"
"Haha, what are you talking about? As the old saying goes, it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. Although we were a little impulsive, we have made a contribution!"
"That's right, your Star City team boasts about your achievements every day, which makes us really think how amazing the Weird Tree is!"
"Haha, it's all an exaggeration!"
He Jin frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
