Chapter 993
After just three seconds, Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Ma Yun completed the teleportation. As soon as they got rid of the dizziness, they saw the lion, Toto and the sand golem standing opposite them, all looking at them with a strange look, as if they were looking at three fools.
"Uh... we just completed a teleportation on the spot." Ma Yun was embarrassed.
Gao Fei couldn't help laughing and made an old joke casually: "It's as secret as it is secret, no problem!"
"It seems that the magic barrier set up in this forest will not only make people lost, but also block the teleportation spell, making a classic joke of TP on the spot." Jiang Feng frowned.
"Maze-like barriers usually cannot extend deep into the ground. It's a pity that my current profession is not a 'mimic', otherwise I can turn into an earth element form, drill into the ground, and bypass the maze on the surface." Gao Fei said with some regret.
Ma Yun was reminded by his words and suddenly became excited.
"Since the maze barrier cannot extend underground, it should not be able to extend to a thousand feet in the sky. If we all fly, can't we easily fly over this maze forest?"
As she said this, she tapped her heels, extracted the magic power of the silver shoes, and blessed herself with "flying skills".
A pair of translucent magic wings stretched out from behind the girl, and under the gaze of everyone, she flew into the air.
Just when Ma Yun was about to fly over the treetops, the nearby branches and vines seemed to suddenly wake up, dancing like a group of pythons, weaving a large green net above her head, blocking the way to the sky.
Ma Yun was suspended in the air, looking at the sky net made of plant branches above her head. After a slight hesitation, she waved her hand to summon a flying sword, and remotely controlled the bright flying sword to cut the net, intending to force her way through.
"Stop!"
Just at this moment, a majestic rebuke suddenly came from the forest.
A green light curtain swept over like a waterfall.
Ma Yun and the flying sword controlled by her were covered by the light curtain of the "dispersal technique". The "flying technique" on her body and the "secondary activation technique" on the sword were instantly lifted.
The girl's body lost control and fell from the sky with a scream.
Gao Fei and Jiang Feng rushed up at the same time and caught the falling Ma Yun together to save her from falling.
The flying sword that lost its magic power also fell down and stuck into the ground with a "puff". The blade was only one foot away from the lion's tail. Dimitri was so scared that he quickly retracted his tail and broke out in a cold sweat!
What's going on?
Just when everyone showed their weapons and was on edge, a big tree on the opposite side suddenly burst into a strong green light, and a huge shadow broke out of the tree and slowly appeared in front of everyone.
This strange creature looked like a green dragon at first glance, but a little observation revealed that it was not made of flesh and blood, but a mixture of trees, vines and rocks.
The green leaves on its body are like dragon scales, the pair of curved branches on its head are like dragon horns, and its face is inlaid with two shining eyes made of obsidian, exuding a chilling dragon power!
"What kind of monster is this?" Nick clenched his battle axe and muttered to himself, "It looks like a plant, but also like a construct..."
Gao Fei was also confused, so he opened the star disk to investigate the uninvited guest with amazing momentum.
The investigation results showed that this was a "tree dragon" named Fabian, a super-large plant belonging to the absolute neutral camp, and also had the physique of a dragon blood subspecies.
"Tree dragon" is not a real dragon, but it is not a sub-dragon with only a thin dragon bloodline like a wyvern.
In fact, this creature is not naturally generated, but a product of a mysterious magic ritual.
When a high-level druid senses that his life span is coming to an end, but is reluctant to leave the forest he has been protecting for his entire life, he will perform this ritual, using dragon blood as a sacrifice, sacrificing his remaining life, and transforming himself from flesh and blood into a new form composed of plants and minerals, which is the so-called "tree dragon".
In this way, the druid abandons his aging body, and his soul is transferred to a new body, so that he can continue his life and continue to perform the mission of protecting the forest.
When a druid transforms into a tree dragon, he will obtain a dragon biological template, and all attributes and talents will be greatly enhanced, and his memories and professional level will be retained. The only price he pays for this is that he will never be able to leave the forest he swore to protect.
For example, the tree dragon in front of him named Fabian has 11 earth druid levels.
Gao Fei also wanted to check his attributes and challenge level, but unfortunately he could only see that the challenge level was 11, and the attributes and other specific information were blank.
System prompt: It is currently impossible to detect high-level NPCs!
...Okay, Gao Fei understands.
"Unable to detect high-level NPCs", Gao Fei is no longer surprised by such system prompts.
This prompt itself reveals a strong danger signal, warning players not to commit suicide!
"I am Fabian, the twilight guardian of the maze forest. Travelers from afar, for your own safety, please stay away from this jungle and return the same way!"
The tree dragon issued a majestic warning, and the echo was stirred in the dense forest for a long time.
Ma Yun stopped the lion from moving and trying to pounce on Fabian, and said to Gao Fei and Jiang Feng through the star disk: "The system task log has just been updated, giving two routes to continue to advance the plot. Either defeat Fabian and forcefully break through his obstruction, or make a DC18 lobbying check to try to persuade him to make concessions and let us pass."
"The tree dragon is an NPC in the neutral camp. Of course, we should try our best to persuade him. It is not too late to take action after lobbying fails. This is called courtesy before force." Gao Fei said.
Jiang Feng agreed with her boyfriend's opinion and secretly blessed him with an "Eagle's Majesty".
Gao Fei is the member with the highest charm attribute in the adventure team. Counting the "Eagle's Majesty" +6 charm, the charm attribute has reached 29 points. He also has the proficiency of the "Lobbying" skill. As long as the check dice is not less than 9 points, he can win Fabian's favor.
Gao Fei tidied his clothes, strode to the opposite side of the "Tree Dragon" Fabian, took off his hat, and bowed deeply to him.
"Dear jungle hermit, we have reasons to move on. Can we take a moment of your time to listen to our difficulties?"
Fabion's obsidian eyes shot out two sharp glances, which stayed on Gao Fei's face for a long time.
At the same time, Gao Fei followed the system prompts and secretly rolled the test dice.
Luckily, the twenty-sided dice rolled 13 points, and successfully passed the "lobbying" test!
System prompt: Your polite and elegant demeanor makes Fabian feel comfortable, and he decided to make an exception and patiently chat with you.
