Chapter 37
Su Ming’s Plan
The ancient tree seemed to have never moved. Its tree arms still firmly protected the crack in front of it.
Su Ming could see the golden light emitted from inside through the gap.
Even though his aura had been sealed by the ancient tree, he could still sense a powerful attraction from inside. This was a phenomenon that the other wolves did not experience.
As long as he ate the Fractured Weed, he would probably be able to break through to the Elite Realm. In this way, the wolf pack’s chances of defeating the ancient tree would also increase a lot.
Unfortunately, although the path ahead seemed flat, there were actually several tree roots buried below. It was not easy for him to approach the ancient tree.
Now, only by cutting off most of the roots of the ancient tree could he have a chance of approaching the other party. Of course, he still had to be vigilant of the tree arm hidden behind him.
The moment Su Ming finished thinking, there was a surge below the ground.
The ancient tree no longer hid. It knew that even if it attacked carefully, it would still be discovered by the white wolf.
It decided to directly attack the wolf pack this time. This way, it could instead allow the tree roots to unleash their true speed and make the wolf pack unable to react in time.
However, it had still underestimated Su Ming’s reaction time and the wolves’ dodging speed.
“Howl!!”
Su Ming roared and shouted before the tree roots attacked.
With the experience from the previous time, Father Wolf suddenly rushed to the side and pulled away Su Hui, who was unable to react in time. Su Ming also pulled Su Yi away.
In this way, the four wolves dodged the tree roots attack from the ground. Only a few attacks landed in their location, but they did not hit them.
Seeing that its attack had still not succeeded, the ancient tree changed its strategy again.
A large number of tree roots were divided into two groups. One half continued to advance and entangle Su Ming and the other wolves. The other half hid in the soil and surged towards their location.
Su Ming and the other wolves naturally knew that this was bad. However, they were being attacked by a large number of tree roots and were temporarily unable to escape.
Father Wolf quickly waved its silver claw and shattered the three to four tree roots in front of him.
Immediately after, Su Ming, Su Hui, and Su Yi also tore apart the three tree roots in front of them.
Although the number of roots had decreased a lot, dozens of them still continued to attack Su Ming and the others, temporarily trapping them in place.
Bang!
The ground surged, and a large number of tree roots broke out of the ground, partially binding Father Wolf’s limbs.
The ancient tree wanted to deal with the wolf that was the most threatening to the tree roots first.
Only eight roots were left to deal with the three wolves. The remaining roots gathered in front of Father Wolf and suddenly struck it.
Bang!
The first attack quickly arrived.
The tree root turned into an afterimage and struck Father Wolf’s body, creating a long and thin bloody mark on the intact surface.
Father Wolf was very firm and did not let out a single cry. However, its slightly trembling body indicated that it was severely injured.
Bang!
Another tree root slapped Father Wolf’s body.
The ancient tree seemed to enjoy this process very much. It started to torture the subdued Father Wolf.
The roots it controlled struck the same spot twice in a row, causing Father Wolf’s body to tremble even more.
It wanted to hear its Father Wolf’s tragic cry. In the past, this move could be said to have worked every time. The painful cry of the prey would make it happy.
However, this time, it had encountered a tough opponent.
The ancient tree was not discouraged. It believed that as the number of attacks increased, the other party would eventually let out a painful cry.
Bang!
With this third hit, no more fur could be found on Father Wolf’s back.
Its entire body was dyed blood red, and its consciousness began to blur.
Father Wolf forced its body up. Its front claws erupted with a silver-white light again, wanting to cut off the roots that trapped it.
However, the other party’s strength was not something it could resist when its limbs were controlled.
After shaking a few times, Father Wolf no longer had the strength to move.
At the same time, in front of Father Wolf, Su Ming and the other two wolves were also trying their best to break out.
They dodged the attack of the tree roots and took the opportunity to tear apart the tree roots in front of them.
After the wolves finished dealing with the tree roots, Father Wolf in front of him had already become covered in blood. Looking at its trembling body, it was obvious that Father Wolf could not hold on much longer.
Su Ming tightened his hind legs and quickly rushed forward. Su Hui and Su Yi also followed behind it tacitly.
Along the way, Su Ming led the wolves to successfully dodge the tree roots that tried to stop them and successfully arrived beside Father Wolf.
The three wolves suddenly lowered their heads and bit the tree root that trapped Father Wolf.
Pfft!
Under the powerful bite, the three tree roots instantly broke, allowing Father Wolf to obtain the ability to move.
Father Wolf waved its silver claw and cut off the last tree root wrapped around its right hind leg.
At the same time, the ancient tree took this opportunity to control its roots to appear behind Su Hui and Su Yi and wrap them.
At the critical moment, Father Wolf and Su Ming sensed it in time and worked together to tear apart these haunting tree roots.
At this moment, almost all the roots of the ancient tree had been destroyed by the wolf pack. Only a few of them hid in the soil and waited for the next attack.
Without the obstruction of the tree roots, the huge ancient tree appeared in front of the wolves again.
Su Ming did not hesitate. After successfully weakening the tree roots, he began the next stage of his combat plan.
He turned around and looked at his companions. The wolves understood and nodded.
Swoosh!
Immediately, the four wolves spread out. Su Ming and the other two formed a triangle and rushed forward.
On Father Wolf’s side, he returned to his eldest and second brothers’ positions to support them.
For a moment, the ancient tree was also puzzled by the actions of the wolves. It no longer had many tree roots.
Should he deal with the silver-clawed wolf or stop the three gray wolves in front of him?
In the end, the ancient tree made its decision. It would first deal with all the gray wolves that dared to attack it before considering the rest.
The ground in front of Su Ming and the other wolves began to surge.
Before Su Ming could warn them, Su Hui and Su Yi jumped to the side preemptively.
Bang!
The shape of the tree root seemed to have changed somewhat from before. It was actually as sharp and fast as a needle.
Even though Su Ming and the other two wolves dodged in time, they were still scratched. Among them, Su Hui’s injuries were the most serious. A slender blood mark appeared on his back leg.
Looking at Brother Su Ming’s figure running in front of it, Su Hui gritted its teeth and forcefully persisted, following Su Ming’s actions.
The tree root returned to the soil again and slowly moved forward, prepared for the second attack.
This time, Su Ming was much more vigilant. He took advantage of his good dynamic vision to observe the trajectory of the tree roots.
Before the other party could stab out, he was already prepared, allowing Su Hui and Su Yi to dodge the other party’s stab unscathed.
As the three wolves ran, they gradually approached the center. They were only a step away from the ancient tree.
Suddenly, two black figures surged out from behind the ancient tree and attacked Su Ming, who was at the front.
Violent winds blew on both sides. It could be seen that the might of this attack could not be underestimated.
