Green Monster Epic

Chapter 541: Ambush

Allen and his team chose a densely forested basin as their ambush location. The colorful vegetation completely covered the basin, making it easy for Allen and his 18 members to conceal themselves.

However, while the other members of the team were busy preparing various traps and restriction magic scrolls, Allen was rapidly creating a magic dish he had developed after entering the Mirage Plane. The ingredients were from the Flying Serpent leader they had killed some time ago.

The more magic-rich the ingredients, the longer and more effective the magic boost they provide. Unfortunately, dimensional bags could not be used in the Mirage Plane, so Allen and his team always needed Allen to create magic dishes on the spot whenever they needed the boost.

Magic dishes also had their drawbacks: they needed to be eaten quickly after being made, otherwise most of the energy released from the ingredients would dissipate into the air and disappear. The space in a dimensional bag was similar to a vacuum. Combined with the warm jade and cold jade food boxes that Allen and his team had researched over the years, they could ensure the magic dish remained effective for a longer period, but even then, it could only be preserved for a maximum of 2-3 months.

The magic dish was quickly prepared. Allen no longer needed to study the recipe; he only needed to make minor improvements to the previous recipe, which saved a lot of time.

"Come over, eat it while it's hot. Tiri O will probably be back soon."

Allen got up and called the busy team members around to eat. Who would have thought that while others were nervously preparing for battle, Allen's team was leisurely enjoying a pre-battle meal? Who knows if others would laugh at them or envy them!

"It's a good time to refine the previous plan while eating."

A group of legendary figures wore happy expressions. The past 10 days felt more like a vacation than an adventure. Except for the trouble they encountered when facing the Flying Serpent swarm, they had not faced too many threats at other times.

"If the number of Cloud Giants lured here is less than 8, and there is no demigod-level leader, then we can act directly."

"The task of you mages will be very important next. You must entangle the lured targets as soon as possible. You don't need to cause much damage to these Cloud Giants, but you must ensure that they cannot escape your magical restraints and that their movements are slowed down."

"The rest of you, according to the established groups, the kill team should first target the weakest of the giants and complete the focus fire on it as quickly as possible…"

"And…"

Allen's tone was steady and forceful. In the 10 days of getting along, the legendary powerhouses, except for the 6 independent members who joined later, had already been sincerely convinced of Allen's strength. The wilderness was a place where strength spoke for itself. Since Allen's skills were strong, his mind was clear and wise, and his style was fair and just, he was already very qualified as a captain, and no one could find fault with him.

"Understood!"

"Okay…"

Rustling responses came. Several big eaters had already digested their share of the magic dish, and the newly joined legends were curiously feeling the magical effects gradually rising in their bodies, savoring the changes that the effects brought to them.

Before everyone had to wait too long, as their keen senses detected the ground starting to tremble gradually, as if thousands of beasts were running from far to near, everyone's hearts were not only without worry, but their faces were also full of joy.

The biggest variable in the entire lure event was that the lurers sent out by the 6-7 teams acted independently. It was impossible for the Cloud Giants to chase down every trade that provoked them. They were likely to divide their forces to pursue two or three targets, or simply send a team to hunt down one target, or they might not care at all about the provocative behavior given to them by small things that looked like reptiles in their eyes.

Of course, there was also the worst possibility, which was that the Cloud Giant leader just wanted to find some fun, go out for a walk, and set his sights on Tiri O, the gnoll.

Waiting was tormenting and painful. No one dared to step out, because they were about to face soldiers with great strength. No one knew how strong the giants' perception and intuition were. Therefore, for the sake of safety, everyone could only wait for Tiri O to lead the target to the vicinity of the ambushing forest before they could truly understand the number and strength of the giants.

"Here they come!"

In the distance, accompanied by more violent tremors on the ground, as well as the sounds of countless trees breaking and frightened birds and animals screaming and fleeing, Allen, who had been shrouded in a haze, was hidden under the canopy of an unknown tree. He saw several tall and majestic figures at the edge of the hills in the northwest.

The shortest of the giants was over 7 meters tall. Even though they were still a long distance away from Allen and his team, they still brought a few tremors to the hearts of the legends in the field. Not to mention, each of the 7 giants held a huge wooden stick of unknown material. Whenever they casually swept forward, no tree within a dozen meters around could survive. Even trees with a diameter of two or three meters would break in the middle, and then half of the tree trunk would fly into the sky.

With the height and size of the giants, they already brought great pressure to ordinary human-shaped creatures. Coupled with the heavy giant wooden sticks in their hands, the legendary powerhouses who were waiting quietly at this time were already calculating in their hearts whether they could withstand a single stick from the giants.

Tiri O was flying rapidly in the air in a very embarrassing manner, constantly changing his flight path. The pressure he was under was really not small. He had to make these giants want to chase him, and at the same time, he had to ensure that the giants' attacks would not affect him. Even he, who was known for his speed, had already used a shadow jump skill once on the way to avoid a series of unknown spells cast by the giants in coordination.

However, as the destination gradually approached, Tiri O's tense heart was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Whoosh!

No longer concealing his speed, Tiri O drew a long phantom in the air, just dodging a log as thick as a person and 6-7 meters long that swept across the air. Although it did not hit the real target, this log happened to hit a legend ambushing in the forest.

The body of the kobold Ignatz was really a little thin. As a sword dancer, he didn't need to have too strong a physique like a strongman or a berserker. Therefore, when this huge log came down from the sky with a shrill whistling sound, he had to quickly climb up from his hiding place and shuttle through the shadows of the jungle like a rat.

"Damn it!"

Allen was also helpless. In fact, even if such a log really hit a legend, as long as they were mentally prepared, at most their internal organs would be shaken and they would suffer minor injuries. However, that's how a temporarily formed team was. Everyone had their own calculations in their hearts, and they were unwilling to take risks easily. If their own safety was really threatened, everyone would always consider themselves first, rather than the team.

"Move!"

The giant's team had only just arrived at the edge of the trap set by Allen and his team, but because Ignatz had acted in advance, the team of 7 giants was obviously a little hesitant, and the chasing action under their feet slowed down slightly, so Allen decisively issued the order.

Scrolls were thrown out overwhelmingly, and the low chants of the mages rang out. The originally dense jungle suddenly came to life.

A massive tree transformed, becoming a towering treant, swiftly seizing a nearby cloud giant. Its roots tenaciously gripped the earth, restricting the cloud giant's movements. Many bushes, with their upright trunks and lush canopies, suddenly seemed to melt, collapsing limply onto the ground. They then merged with other trees, transforming into living vines, thrashing and coiling around the giants' bodies.

The ground also gradually softened, and with the giants' immense size and weight, their large feet involuntarily sank deep into the earth.

"...%#@..."

The giants uttered unintelligible words, wielding their massive wooden clubs to swat away the encroaching vines, while also repeatedly leaping up and crashing back down onto the ground.

Only two giants, each towering ten meters tall, managed to leap into the air as danger approached, one of them grabbing a nearby companion's hand.

Seeing this, Alan breathed a slight sigh of relief. At least these powerful giants weren't all capable of flight; otherwise, quickly resolving the battle would be quite challenging. However, despite his increased confidence, Alan and the other legendary powerhouses didn't slacken their pace. As the two giants each grabbed a companion and took to the skies, Alan and the dozen or so others also soared into the air, each targeting their respective targets according to the prior plan.

Boom!!!

The dark gold Bonecleaver, after a long period of charging, unleashed a powerful strike, which was easily blocked by the giant holding a companion with his heavy wooden club. The resulting shockwave of energy sent Alan's body soaring higher into the air, while his target, under the force of the impact, crashed heavily to the ground with his companion.

Bang!!

Like a pebble splashing into water, the quicksand spell, jointly cast by several legendary spellcasters, turned the ground into a quagmire. As the giant fell from the sky, countless sprays of muddy water splattered in all directions.

On the other side, another flying giant was also tackled to the ground by Marcus, the ogre meat mountain, who was two or three sizes smaller. He used a charging shield bash battle technique.

The gnoll Brigitte, the lizardman Hanini, the half-orc Marilyn, and others worked in pairs to entangle the giants that were trapped in the mire on the ground. A short distance away, some spellcasters continued to cast Vine Entanglement, Quicksand, and other spells that seemed harmless but greatly contributed to the battle, while others quickly buffed their companions with various divine spells and also inflicted various negative effects on their opponents.

Led by Fendi, the lizardman leader, the five legendary figures focused on the shortest giant in the group, whose body was half-submerged in the mire, continuously coordinating their attacks to leave wounds on the giant's body.

"Roar!!! Awoo!!!"

The cloud giant, clearly just an adolescent, futilely swung his heavy wooden club. His desperate screams and roars grew louder and louder, but they posed no threat to his enemies.

The mire on the ground and the vines submerged in the mud firmly restricted the clumsy giants in the soil, turning them into giant targets. Although the quicksand spell's effect wasn't enough to completely bury the giants, the mud that had submerged past their waists was enough to make their movements even more cumbersome.

The kobold Ignatius was exceptionally diligent at this time. He knew that his actions had almost caused their ambush to fail, so to make up for his mistake, he had transformed into a phantom, constantly appearing around the giants, unleashing a bloody storm of flashing blades.

Fortunately, the giants had thick skin and tough flesh. Even if the kobold's pair of short swords, which were no more than two feet long, pierced past the hilt, it would be like being stung by a bee for the giants, as long as it wasn't a vital spot.

However, the giants' vital spots were either protected by heavy armor or shielded by their wooden clubs and arms. For a while, the powerhouses of the wilderness couldn't find a good way to deal with him.

Until a vine suddenly performed an extremely lewd "Thousand Years of Death" attack on the giant's lower abdomen and anus from within the mire. The giant, in excruciating pain, finally revealed a fatal flaw. A long arrow shot out and pierced through the gap between his fingers, instantly embedding itself into his left eye socket.

A strong premonition caused the giant to instinctively close his eyelids, trying to use his skin to defend against the arrow. However, this arrow was Sami Yang's guaranteed attack, and the arrow used was a very precious armor-piercing arrow. After hitting the target, although it was slowed down, it still firmly pierced through.

The fire magic contained in the arrow began to unleash its power within the giant's pupil. With a muffled boom, a miserable scream followed, erupting into a huge wave of sound.

The giant, who was regarded as the primary target to kill, had his entire left eye blasted apart by magic from the inside. Turbid liquid dripped down from the hideous eye socket. The giant went berserk, wildly waving his weapon, making it difficult for Fendi and others to approach. The other giants, who were trapped in the mire, slowly moved towards the wounded giant while constantly uttering unintelligible words to Alan and the others, the malice in their eyes, if it could kill, would have drowned Alan and the others in their anger.

"Awoo!!! Ah!!!"

Alan was single-minded; his target was only the most powerful giant among the group. The giant had obviously seen the miserable state of his clansmen below and wanted to rescue the injured companions, but he was firmly blocked by the unknown creature that was only the size of his palm.

Just a moment ago, Bonecleaver's unreserved "Heaven Splitting" sword skill could have struck the giant's right arm, which was exposed when he was distracted. If this sword had hit, then even if the giant's defense was not bad, this arm would probably be unable to move for most of the day.

Fortunately, the giant sensed the danger and quickly raised his wooden club, barely deflecting Alan's attack and diverting its direction. At the same time, the unprepared giant himself was almost sent flying by the force of the sword.

At this time, the giant realized that this small, reptile-like thing in front of him was not so easy to deal with.

Explain the previous doubts of book friends, why there are so many strong people in this world, even demigods are not uncommon, but they do not invade other planes.

First of all, this plane itself is a single attribute plane. The creatures living in this plane are actually blessed by the plane attribute, so that they can exert more powerful power in this plane. And if you leave this plane, then after losing the blessing of the plane, their bodies and spell-like abilities will also drop a lot.

Here, there was a subtle reminder in the previous introduction, that is, most of the resources in this plane cannot be taken away, and only a few resources with high concentration of energy such as dream crystals can be taken away. The reason is that most of the origins in these creatures come from the blessing of this plane, and they lose their origin when they leave this plane, and then dissipate into the world.

Secondly, the demigods and legends in this world actually have no inheritance and civilization, especially the most core gods in the high-magic world, which means that they have so-called strength but lack matching knowledge, making them unable to make cross-plane transmission magic circles.

Even the strength of these alien race groups depends more on talent ability, unlike the Feynman world, where they can learn various abilities and expertise through inheritance.

Perhaps, in the future, a certain ethnic group will be able to give birth to wise men, form a country and civilization, and then slowly accumulate knowledge inheritance, but at least not now, because I am the author and I have the final say, hahaha.
