Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead-Chapter 1322 - 903, The Forest Came Alive

Rainforest Labyrinth.

The dimension behind the boundary stone was a dense jungle.

Huge trees blocked out the sun, like green umbrellas, making it nearly impossible to see the sky.

It was a bit dim under the canopy, with the sounds of miscellaneous insects and the rustling noises resembling crawling creatures by one’s ear.

"This place... why does it look like this?" The Dragon Queen, dressed in a golden gown, frowned as she looked around at the thick jungle.

This place was completely different from the ’Land of Deception’ they had last encountered.

One was desolately gloomy, with vexing murmurs echoing through the sky.

Here, the jungle was too luxuriant, and the trees around them were thick enough for three or four people to encircle with their arms.

Even the territory of the southern Lizardmen was nothing compared to this.

It was as if a piece of an ancient, primitive forest had been cut out to form this space.

"Yes, this tree is second only to the ancient oak trees of the Fairy Clan," Fang Hao said, as he quickly opened the Gate of the Worlds, taking advantage of the absence of danger.

A mass of four-armed Skeletons and Thunder Gunners walked out of the gate.

Trampling over the shrubs, they densely spread out within the jungle.

The present scene was still somewhat strange.

At the time, as soon as they headed to the Land of Deception, they were discovered by the God of Deception.

But now, no deities had appeared.

Perhaps it was just like what the transmigrator who traded the boundary stone had said: this place was only filled with Mythical Troops.

As more and more soldiers emerged from the Gate of the Worlds.

The forest in the distance began to stir as well.

Boiling over, it started to shake tumultuously, and at the same time, a dense, heavy sound of running arose.

Without much thought, it was clear that the enemy was drawing near.

"Form up! Prepare for battle!" Fang Hao shouted loudly.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!

The four-armed Skeletons that had exited the gate quickly raised their shields, standing close together to form a solid shield wall.

However, the trees interspersed among them split the formation into segments.

The four-armed Skeletons were continuously gathering.

Fang Hao snapped his fingers, summoning a Thunder Spirit, which quickly approached the direction of the shaking jungle.

Before long, the enemies wildly running through the jungle appeared before their eyes.

[Undead Iron Hoof (Mythical Troops)]

Centaurs!

In appearance, they were close to the commonly known centaur creature.

With a lower body similar to that of a horse, possessing strong muscles and fine lines, they moved through the jungle, running and leaping as if on flat ground, showcasing their incredible speed and power.

Their upper bodies were humanoid, but not human - their appearance was more ferocious, with rotting flesh and clearly visible White Bone.

Some even had twisted, broken heads, hanging like basketballs on their necks, swinging with their movements.

In their hands, they held long-handled Wolf Fang Clubs, filled with murderous intent, rushing towards the area Fang Hao and his forces occupied.

Although they looked like Undead, their agile running and nimble movements were not at all clumsy like those of the Blood Clan’s Rotten Corpses.

They appeared to have some lethal force.

Behind the centaurs, there were large groups of other enemies.

[Razor Beast (Mythical Troops)]

[One-Eyed Bully (Mythical Troops)]

Razor Beasts looked like giant boars, covered in spiky quills, with protruding tusks and patchy pustules.

They appeared as if they had been rotting for years before being dug up again.

Ugly and full of disease.

One-eyed Bullies were large humanoid creatures, resembling trolls, with a lone horn growing on their foreheads. Where eyes should have been, there was a single large eye.

They swayed as they walked, each step producing a heavy, thudding sound.

Fang Hao didn’t continue to observe but instead dispersed the Thunder Spirit.

Seeing this much was enough.

As long as there were no gods or demigods making an appearance, that was all that mattered.

The troops had almost fully emerged, and Fang Hao promptly closed the Gate of the Worlds.

The forces were mainly divided into three types.

At the front, there were the four-armed Skeletons forming the shield wall, now in a state of battle readiness.

In the second row were the Thunder Gunners, shouldering their muskets, standing neatly within the jungle.

The Gunners were shorter than the four-armed Skeletons and were not positioned to fire from behind.

Their main targets were the aerial units.

Should aerial units approach, dense firepower support would be required from the Gunners.

Further behind was the swaying, Double-Headed Corpse Dragon.

The advantages of Undead units were actually quite numerous.

At least in this terrain, the Undead did not fear Thorns or venomous insects.

"How is it?" the Dragon Queen asked.

Fang Hao responded, "I saw three types of Mythical Troops but no champions. It’s uncertain if there’ll be new enemies behind them."

"Okay, how shall we fight?"

"I’ll clear out a wave first. If strong enemies show up later, I’ll leave them to you!" Fang Hao replied.

The Dragon Queen nodded and sat down on a stump nearby.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the sky turned dark with clouds, obscuring the vast expanse of forest ahead.

The canopy was so dense here that one couldn’t see the changes in the sky, only the thunder from the cloud layer, still deafening.

When the first wave of enemies rushed out from the shaking bushes.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

A series of silk threads, like hanging silkworm silk, densely filled the forest below.

When the silk threads tensed in an instant.

The running centaurs, the charging boars, and the One-Eyed Giants whose footsteps halted midway.

All froze in place, maintaining their previous postures.

Only their eyeballs kept moving, puzzled as to what had just happened.

Sizzle-Boom!

Silver Thunder Snakes descended along the silk threads.

Piercing through all connected enemies below.

Whoosh, whoosh~ as the silk threads retracted, a mass of monsters collapsed.

Crash!!

After a swath of monsters fell, a handful of boars and One-Eyed Giants still rushed out from behind.

"Lightning Strike~ Fire!"

Crackling and rattling!

After a barrage of lightning, the remaining enemies turned into charred corpses.

All fell to the ground, and the woods once again became quiet.

In a normal battle, the enemy numbers were not few.

Yet not a single enemy got truly close to the team.

After two rounds of skills, the battle ended like that.

They picked up two pieces of equipment, and after finding them useless, casually tossed them to the ground.

"Advance!"

Crash!!

The four-armed Skeleton General put down the shield in its hands and began to move forward.

The dense forest here is vast. It would be quite difficult to identify the correct direction if one were to search aimlessly.

But now it’s different, all they need to do is follow in the direction from which the enemies came.

After all, the natives here understood the place better than them.

...

After walking for about an hour,

Fang Hao directly ordered them to halt.

He frowned as he looked at the mud underfoot and picked up a torn piece of cloth from the Thorns.

"What’s the matter?" asked the Dragon Queen.

Fang Hao passed her the cloth piece, "Don’t you notice anything?"

"What?"

"We’ve gone around in a circle and came back to the place of the battle," Fang Hao said bluntly.

The Dragon Queen frowned as she looked around, "That’s impossible. Haven’t we been moving in one direction? This cloth strip should have been left by the movements of those creatures."

A Demigod’s senses are not comparable to ordinary people’s.

Although they were still in the dense forest, there were subtle changes in the environment around them.

Moreover, how could one not notice the ground that an army of tens of thousands had marched over?

If it wasn’t that not a blade of grass was spared, at least the grassland would be trampled flat over a large area, how could it look like it does now.

"Let me check the map."

Fang Hao also couldn’t make sense of it.

But he always felt like he was going in circles, as if hitting an invisible wall.

Saying so, he then opened the Book of Lords and flipped to the map page.

The Book of Lords comes with a map that can automatically record the routes taken and the map.

It’s a very practical feature for transmigrators.

The moment the map was opened, the tree canopy overhead shook slightly.

Branches twined into a fist-sized head that dangled down, and the eyes that condensed out looked towards the Book of Lords.

But when the book was opened, it didn’t flip to any map.

The tree-made head looked puzzled, and when it looked up, it saw a man and a woman, both looking back at it with furrowed brows in confusion.

Ah~, the tree head let out a shriek, and several branches stabbed towards both of their eyes.

Whoosh!

The Dragon Queen was faster.

A golden flash pierced through the branch head, and the broken branch fell to the ground and vanished.

"What is that?" the Dragon Queen asked with a frown.

"It’s called a Tree Demon, a type of tenth-rank troop," Fang Hao quickly replied.

As his voice fell, the entire jungle began to seethe, with the canopy overhead shaking non-stop.

The branches intertwined with each other, rapidly forming human-shaped tree people.

Then, they dropped from the canopy into the crowd.

In an instant, countless tree-shaped Tree Demons kept forming above their heads and raining down like drops onto the Skeleton troop’s formation.

The four-armed Skeleton General immediately reacted, raising its shield to quickly approach the targets that fell into the formation, attempting to kill them.

Fang Hao looked up, seeing the canopy still endlessly twining out human-shaped Tree Demons, and instantly ordered, "Tighten the formation, Thunder Gunners shoot towards the sky."

Boom boom boom!!

A barrage of bullets began to shoot upwards.

There were many Tree Demons, but there were equally many gunners below; the moment the Tree Demons formed a human shape.

They were pierced by several bullets, although it was not clear whether they were dead or not.

But at the moment of piercing, the branches scattered, which slowed down the speed of the Tree Demons taking shape.

At the same time, the forests around them started shaking as if they had come alive.

Next, dense masses of tree people, Tree Demons, emerged from the forest, encircling them in the middle.

"What’s going on?" the Dragon Queen asked as she looked around.

"This forest seems to have come alive," Fang Hao casually replied and immediately ordered, "Corpse Dragons take flight and attack from the air, Thunder Gunners draw closer to me, four-armed Skeleton Generals gather the troops and form a shield formation outward."

Whoosh!

The moment the Double-Headed Corpse Dragon took off, dense tendrils around them shot like ropes.

Beginning to wrap around the Corpse Dragon’s body.

Hundreds of Corpse Dragons, at least half of them, were wrapped tight by the vines the moment they took off.

Struggling in the air, their mouths emitting Dragon Breath spraying in all directions.

Crash!!

The next second, the surrounded tree people made their move.

The tree-arms plunged into the ground, and countless branches burst through the dirt beneath the four-armed Skeleton Generals.

Entangling the ankles, hindering movement.

And a greater number of Tree Demons began to charge.

From all directions, like an oncoming tide.

Boom boom boom!!

The formation not yet completed was struck.

The frenzied Tree Demons kept colliding with shields, and enormous claws waved, striking the enemies in front of them.

Fang Hao watched the scene around him.

When the number of people grouped tightly enough, a series of threads again hung down from the sky.

Instantly connecting to all the bodies of the Tree Demons and tree people.

Zzt-Crack!

A series of silver snakes fell along the threads.

Striking the bodies of the Tree Demons and tree people. freёnovelkiss.com

Thick smoke rose up; numerous Tree Demons fell, their bodies even starting to burn from the inside.

Yet still, more Tree Demons appeared, like an endless stream, as if they could never be fully killed.

Fang Hao quickly thought of a strategy in his heart; to continue this stalemate was of no benefit to his side.

Fighting against Tree Demons in this terrain was indeed advantageous for the opponent.

Looking at the Dragon Queen beside him, who seemingly effortlessly shot out golden flashes, he immediately said, "Dragon Queen, we need an open area without trees."

"Okay."

The Dragon Queen soared up, breaking through the canopy and rushing into the sky.

A golden sun rose above their heads.
