Chapter 475
Boom! Boom boom!
The group continued to advance, with Da Bai and Wally Bell, two giant creatures, paving the way ahead, making their passage almost unobstructed.
Half an hour later.
Cao Xing glanced at the map.
They had ventured nearly forty kilometers deep into the Witch Forest.
They were close to reaching the deepest part of the forest.
The monsters here were at Level 35 or higher.
However, for Cao Xing, as long as no Fifth-Rank monsters appeared, they posed no real threat to him.
Just then, Cao Xing stopped in his tracks again.
He saw a towering giant tree ahead, over a hundred meters tall and with a trunk diameter of three meters!
Nearby, there were many other giant trees of similar heights between fifty to sixty meters, their trunks equally robust.
He could clearly sense a faint aura of danger emanating from the giant tree before him.
“Is it a Human-faced Tree?”
Cao Xing pondered.
Although they had dealt with Human-faced Trees numerous times,
these monsters appeared no different from ordinary giant trees in their normal state,
so Cao Xing found it hard to distinguish them.
He glanced at Renice beside him.
She immediately understood Cao Xing’s intention.
She quickly drew back her [Horned Eagle War Bow] and released an arrow.
“Whoosh!”
“Thud!”
[-3027!]
The arrow hit, causing a critical damage hit.
Just as Cao Xing had anticipated.
The moment the giant tree was attacked, its branches suddenly recoiled.
“Rustle!”
Simultaneously, the frozen ground beneath the tree began to heave, as if numerous powerful Earth Dragons were stirring beneath it.
The giant tree turned, revealing a pale human face on its trunk.
“Intruder… die…”
At the same time, as the giant tree moved, the surrounding giant trees all turned around.
At least forty or fifty Human-faced Trees simultaneously brandished their branches.
Cao Xing casually glanced at their attributes.

…
“Well, there are all Fourth-Ranked Human-faced Trees!”
“One leader, two bosses, five elites, and over forty ordinary Human-faced Trees!”
Clearly, this was the most formidable group of enemies Cao Xing had encountered since entering the Witch Forest.
Yet he did not feel fear; instead, he felt excitement!
“Great, I’ve finally come across a Leader Level Human-faced Tree!”
“Once we take it down, the Tree Heart inside it can accelerate the growth of the Pale Tree!”
“And those Boss Level Human-faced Trees, their Tree Hearts can be given to Da Bai and Wally!”
With an expectant gleam in his eyes, Cao Xing leaped off the mammoth’s back.
He swiftly commanded, “Blom, Assam, Jonard, Jonsent, Rab, move forward.”
“Andrew, switch to Ancient Tree Form and assist them.”
“All long-range attacks, unleash your full power!”
With Cao Xing’s orders, everyone immediately entered battle mode.
Blom was the first to charge and directly confronted the Fourth-order Leader Level Human-faced Tree!
However, the attacks from this Human-faced Tree were extremely frenzied!
Its branches lashed like dozens of Spirit Snakes in a wild assault.
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!
“Crack! Crack!”
The three layers of Holy Shield on Blom shattered instantly!
The remaining branches whipped Blom’s body.
[-1472]
[-1382]
[-1253]
[-1325]
Blom’s blood volume decreased chunk by chunk, then was boosted back up chunk by chunk through [Ice Healing Skill] and [Life Blossom].
At that moment, Cao Xing quickly ordered, “Wally, use Heavenly Sound Shock to help Blom deal with this Human-faced Tree.”
Upon receiving Cao Xing’s command, Wally leaped high and let out a beastly roar!
“Roar!”
In mid-air, the formidable Power of thunder and lightning burst forth from within it!
A gigantic figure then descended like a thunderous lightning bolt next to the Human-faced Tree.
“Boom!”
It was as if a humanoid lightning bolt had arrived, exploding into a terrifying electric light!
This instantly covered a 30-meter radius.
At least a dozen Human-faced Trees were hit by this attack, triggering waves of damage.
[-7013]
[-7254]
[-7312]
[-7714]
[-7152]
…
A series of terrifying damage numbers appeared!
With a 274% damage coefficient, paired with Wally’s formidable attack, it dealt a staggering seven thousand damage.
Moreover, all Human-faced Trees were affected by the electric current effect.
They stood rigidly in place.
Seeing this, Cao Xing was pleased, “Da Bai, join Wally and help tackle that Human-faced Tree Leader.”
He raised his magic wand and quickly gave orders to the others.
“Isabell, Hilda, each of you target a Boss Level Human-faced Tree, and dispatch it quickly!”
“Jonard, Jonsent, Rab, take on those five Elite Human-faced Trees.”
“Everyone else, focus on killing the regular Human-faced Trees!”
Following Cao Xing’s command, everyone sprang into action.
Isabell and Hilda exchanged a glance, seeing in each other’s eyes a competitive spirit.
“Hmph!”
“Tch!”
With that, the two women parted, quickly locating their respective opponents.
Facing the Fourth-stage Boss Level Human-faced Trees, the two powerful women showed not a hint of fear but rather a gleam of intense battle spirit!
It seemed they intended to find out who was superior today.
