Chapter 305 Scarecrow
To enter node 7, you only need the corresponding ticket.
But there's a problem.
Luo Xi only had a No. 7 ferry ticket in her hand.
What is known so far is that ticket No. 7 can only be obtained from the witch.
But this matter can be solved easily. The tavern owner Zhang Zhe has killed many witches before, so he has enough tickets for Luo Xi. He can simply let Zhang Zhe pay for everyone's tickets.
"The background world of Node 7 is the 'Wizard of Oz', but what is certain is that we can no longer predict based on the plot we are familiar with. The current Node 7 has probably been completely distorted by those witches. After all, it is the headquarters of the alliance. .I have sent many people to investigate, but no one can come back alive.”
Zhang Zhe felt that it was risky for Luo Xi to go to Node 7 without any preparation.
But he knew it.
No one can persuade Luo Xi, and Luo Xi never asks anyone for advice.
To put it in unpleasant words, Luo Xi only believed in himself.
So Zhang Zhe just reminded.
Besides that, he'll tag along.
In the past, the reason why he huddled in Node 2 was because as long as he left Node 2, he was likely to be sniped by the masters of the Witch Alliance.
But it's different now. In his words, since Luo Xi is going to go, of course he can't continue to hide here.
"When it comes to stud, it must be stud!"
Not only him, but also all the masters trained in the tavern have to be brought over, and this time they have to play a big one.
Luo Xi nodded. This time he did not sneak in secretly, because he had already conveyed the news to the witch, so he went there with great fanfare.
In this case, Zhang Zhe, who belongs to the first echelon of combat effectiveness in Fairy Tale Town, must be brought there.
Cinderella didn't have to ask, she had to take him there.
The same goes for crazy lions.
"You come and prepare." Luo Xi confessed, and Zhang Zhe immediately went to take care of it.
Soon, the carriage picked up people and arrived at the dock.
Several people are already waiting here.
Obviously, they are all masters trained by Zhang Zhe. There are not many of them, but they are all real elites.
Except for Cinderella, who was looking around curiously because she was traveling for the first time, everyone else was silent.
Everyone knows that Node 7 is very dangerous.
That is the base camp of the Witches Alliance. The Darkfurnace Tavern has been fighting against the Witches Alliance. Except for Node 2, the Witches Alliance almost completely controls all other node worlds.
This is a completely unequal confrontation in terms of strength.
The enemy is strong and we are weak. Once we fail, it can be said that the Darkfurnace Tavern will be destroyed.
"Luo Xi, these are all my people. They are not weak in strength. Except for high-level witches, they can handle them all. You can just give them orders." Zhang Zhe was quite proud. After all, these were the family assets he had carefully cultivated.
The strength is not weak.
For this operation, the Darkhearth Tavern was closed.
"Let's get on the ship. If nothing else, there should be someone waiting for us at Node 7." Luo Xi glanced at Zhang Zhe's family background, and there should be experts from other nodes among them.
For example, a desert bandit with tattoos all over his body, or a forest hunter carrying a bow and arrow.
Everyone handed the boatman tickets in turn, and then entered the wooden door of the cabin. The wooden door was opened again the next second after it was closed, and the boatman said the same thing.
"After a long voyage, we passed through rapids and experienced dangers, but in the end, we arrived at our destination safely."
When I went out and took a look, it turned out that it was no longer the city of the kingdom at node 2.
But a big forest.
But the weather was nice, there was sunshine, the grass was green, the air was fresh, and there was a gentle breeze.
Luo Xi felt that this environment alone was much stronger than the day of confinement.
It is conceivable that when there were no changes in Fairy Tale Town at the beginning, this place must have been a paradise-level existence. Just being able to come here to bask in the sun was already worth the price of admission.
A group of people got off the boat and boarded the pier. There was a road sign on the ground in front of them. If you look closely, you will see that there is an arrow on it, pointing in one direction. The wooden sign reads: Leading to Oz!
And as long as you walk a few steps forward, you will enter a dense forest.
The forest blocked the sunlight, making some places appear dark, and in the shadows beside the bushes in front, a figure stepped out at this moment.
The other party seems to have been waiting here for a long time.
The forest hunter in the team raised his bow and shot an arrow almost instantly. The arrow shot past like a stream of light, passed through the figure's body, and was then inserted into the tree behind.
Bang.
The feathers at the end of the arrow were still trembling.
And the figure immediately cursed: "It's very dangerous!"
He said and walked over.
After seeing the figure clearly, many people showed surprise.
Because this is actually a scarecrow.
The head is a cloth bag filled with straw, with eyes, nose and mouth painted on it, wearing a shabby blue pointed hat, faded blue clothes and old shoes. Under the shadow, the speaking scarecrow's tone and body movements were filled with an unspeakable sense of weirdness.
But at this moment, it acted like a living person and cursed. The eyes painted on the bag's head are dead objects, but at this moment, they give people the feeling that they are staring at everyone.
Then the scarecrow came over and bowed to Luo Xi.
"Mr. Luo Xi, I have been waiting for you for a long time. The great witch Dorothy sent me to greet you and invite you to her castle as a guest!"
Dorothy is the protagonist of the fairy tale "The Wizard of Oz". Obviously, node 7 in Fairy Tale Town is no longer on the normal plot line, but has turned to another fork in the road and entered an unknown plot line.
Because according to the original plot, the protagonist Dorothy returned to her original world with the help of the power of spells and silver shoes after experiencing adventures.
And here, she actually became a powerful witch.
Zhang Zhe came over at this time: "There must be something wrong. As far as I know, Dorothy has died long ago. Even in the twisted plot line, the original protagonist should not exist. It must be a trap."< br>
Several masters in the tavern here have already pressed their weapons and are ready.
Just waiting for an order, he will attack immediately.
The scarecrow is indeed lying.
And this lie is not clever at all. If a person deceives others with a lie that can be easily exposed, then it is possible that the other party's real purpose is not to deceive people at all.
"Do it!" Luo Xi gave the order after thinking for a moment.
Zhang Zhe nodded, waved his hand, and two forest hunters immediately shot arrows, but this time the arrows shot were filled with flames.
Scarecrow is most afraid of fire.
Sure enough, the arrow immediately ignited the straw on the scarecrow's body, and in an instant, the scarecrow was swallowed up by the flames and burned to ashes.
Zhang Zhe walked over and rummaged through the scarecrow's ashes to no avail. He came over and said, "This is the disadvantage of revealing your identity in advance. It will definitely cause trouble. But you must have anticipated this possibility, so continue What should we do next?”
"Wait!" Luo Xi's answer was very simple. He didn't say any other instructions. He had a feeling that everything was under control.
Zhang Zhe didn't ask any more questions.
He waved his hand, and the several forest hunters he brought with him immediately dispersed and hid in the forest, using trees as cover for ambush and reconnaissance.
In this way, even if someone approaches, they will be informed immediately.
In addition, there are several close combat masters around Zhang Zhe.
One of them is the 'undead' he controls.
Therefore, no matter whether the opponent is attacking frontally or by sneak attack, there is no problem with this response.
At the pier not far behind, the boat and the boatman were motionless. Together with the weird rainbow-colored river, they formed a static picture, like an oil painting.
The mad lion stood behind Luo Xi, observing the surroundings with the same vigilance.
Cinderella sat aside, eating the fruit she brought, and then began her obsessive magic meditation.
Just before boarding the ship, Luo Xi handed her the [Wand of the Witch Tree].
In this way, at least in terms of equipment, Cinderella is no different from a formal witch, and even the spells she chants are only stronger.
As for the voice she said she heard during meditation, Luo Xi did not prevent her from contacting it. On the contrary, after careful consideration, Luo Xi simply encouraged her and allowed her to improve herself.
After a while, there was another movement in the deep forest.
Two figures came from a distance, one behind the other.
Like a ghost!
But in fact, what came was still the scarecrow, which looked similar in appearance but slightly different.
"Mr. Luo Xi, the great swamp witch sent me to greet you and invite you to her home!" A scarecrow took off his hat and saluted, looking just like a human being.
Swamp witch?
Luo Xi shook his head, and then gestured to Zhang Zhe, who immediately raised his hand.
Whoosh~
The sound of arrows pierced the air, and the flaming arrows burned the scarecrow clean.
Another scarecrow behind seemed not to see it, walked up from the shadows, and said dullly: "The great Witch of the East sent me to greet you and invite you"
"Burn!" Luo Xi didn't even wait for the other party to finish speaking this time. The rockets flew towards him, and the remaining words of the other party disappeared in the burning flames.
Time passed by minute by minute.
At this place, Luo Xi and the others waited until dark. During this process, various scarecrows arrived one after another. They represented different witches. Most of them Luo Xi had never even heard of, let alone existed in the original plot. role.
At night, the forest is far less beautiful than during the day. On the contrary, the forest shrouded in darkness is like another world.
Silent, scary and cold.
The unburned flames of the few scarecrows on the ground were shining brightly, making them insignificant in front of this dark forest. In the distance, there was pitch black, which seemed to hide many terrifying existences.
Here comes another scarecrow.
The appearance is quite different, and this may be the thirty-eighth scarecrow about to burn.
"Mr. Luo Xi, the great Witch of the North sent me to greet you."
"Lead the way!"
This time, Luo Xi did not order an attack. Not to mention Zhang Zhe and the forest hunters, even the scarecrow opposite was stunned.
