?I don’t know whether he can’t speak or refuses to communicate.
??The old willow tree that was singing beautiful songs just now is now grinning and wrinkled with its big nose made of hardwood knobs, looking like it is going to be cruel.
?The countless branches that it has grown over the long years waved in the air, causing a sharp "whoosh" sound to break through the air.
?Equivalent to the whip's swing before attacking.
?The sound was messy, and the whipping sound was like a crossbow string being tightened before being fired.
?It heralds the violent attack that will follow, and will naturally make people uncontrollably panic and fluctuate.
?“Whoops!”
Only then did Qilin see clearly what terrain he had just stepped on, no wonder he couldn't stand firmly.
At this moment, a burst of angry hot air spurted out from its large moist nostrils, and the electric sparks suppressed by the rune cloth flashed in a chain between its exposed hooves.
? And Lan En still felt emotionally that this anger was also mixed with some fear and irritation, which was indeed very characteristic of this unicorn's character.
?Thick dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky, making the lighting conditions almost like night.
The blue and purple crystal unicorn horns on the head glowed brightly under the high-energy infusion.
??The branches of the old willow tree were waving faster and faster, and the whip-like branches screamed more and more fiercely in the air, but the witcher's face remained calm and collected.
?Seeing the flannel ball start to move, Lan En made the next step in an orderly manner.
?“I understand, meow! I’m going, meow!”
??Elucat put the Thunder Cat Sword back into the scabbard on its back, then got down on all fours, adjusted the [Light Body Breathing Technique], and jumped into the woods behind her with its strong and agile figure.
??If you can interfere with it at this time, or even scare it, its performance may be affected due to personality factors.
?Its hooves moved restlessly, showing that it was also in an uncertain mood.
?Lan En was a little unable to react at this time.
?Only the dull thunder that flashes from time to time can briefly illuminate this area.
?It uses [Calling Thunder] with all its strength. It is conservatively estimated that the high temperature of the falling thunder can turn the rocks within a dozen meters around the impact point into magma.
??It twisted its body uneasily, making a "crunching" sound of the xylem rubbing and squeezing each other. It looked like it was about to pull the roots out of the ground in a hurry.
?But now "shua"!
??Tachi Technique·Air Blade Spin?!
??Light red fighting spirit flames burst out all over his body. Lan En grasped the end of the handle of Arondette's knife with one hand. While turning around, the long knife lying horizontally beside him also drew a sharp arc.
??The Qilin, which was originally quite impressive and stood upright, now shook its head. The Qilin's pale horns on its head emitted fluorescence and electric arcs, but the surrounding celestial phenomena did not appear to be affected.
???Open blade·white blade state?.
The way the unicorn stood up and neighed, it looked even more noble at that moment of light!
Qilin has long been angry because he was trapped in the illusion and couldn't stand straight.
??A large piece of willow branches that were thrown towards Qilin were chopped neatly.
Seeing that he could no longer threaten Qilin, who was gathering strength, the old willow tree suddenly let out a hoarse and panicked cry.
?In addition to being cute on the outside and innocent on the inside, Fluffy Ball has a warrior character that is not sloppy at all, which is one of the reasons why Lan En gets along well with him.
?The footsteps sounded like a humanoid creature walking towards this direction.
? Don’t worry about whether Qilin is timid or lazy and loves to play, but the racial talents are there.
?He turned to look at Qilin and found that the same thing happened to Gulong Benlong.
“Qilin, control the thunder and prepare to kill it directly!”
?Although I am not unable to kill this kind of enemy, since there are ancient dragons from the New World that can control the sky and mass destruction, why not use them?
“If something is coming from behind, if it’s a person, stop it. I don’t want another ordinary person to get involved in front of such a multi-handed enemy.”
?This level of [Calling Thunder] requires Qilin to prepare for more than ten seconds.
??After swiping the swords at the same time, a layer of white fluorescence condensed on the Lake Girl's sword.
??However, in this chaotic movement, Lan En heard the sound of new footsteps.
?“Flannel ball!”
??The movements of the old willow tree's waving branches slowed down, and the old man's face, which was made of the xylem of the trunk, showed a slightly frightened look.
??But just when Lan En was calm and waiting to see Qilin's thunder blowing the old willow tree into pieces.
?“Ouch, ouch! This can’t be done!”
?This phenomenon, which had never happened since birth, frightened Qilin.
With the voice of a human male, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated at an extremely fast speed, as did the dull and powerful thunder.
??The Sword of the Lake Lady in his hand was pointed at the old willow tree on guard, and Lan En called out the name of his companion without looking back.
?As the Qilin screamed, its front hooves lifted off the ground and it stood upright.
?“Xixilulu?”
?This scene is fairly easy to describe.
??Flannel Ball also quickly cheered up, and pulled out the thunder cat sword with the pattern of cat claws and meat **** from his back, and stood ready to face the huge old willow tree in the distance.
??It was no longer angry with the old willow tree, and trotted all the way to Lan En. It anxiously pressed its head against the witcher's arm, hoping to let him see if there was something wrong with its horn.
?But Lan En did not take care of the frightened Qilin first.
?He first looked at the old willow tree in the distance opposite him, which made him stand as still as an ordinary willow tree.
?Then he turned his wrist, and instead of sheathing the knife, he held the handle of the knife with his backhand after turning the knife.?????Controll hostility with vigilance and prudence, and turn around.
?In the woods behind him and Qilin, a footstep was approaching accompanied by laughter.
?The messy branches in the woods seem to have their own consciousness, naturally parting in front of this footsteps.
?A man came out.
??Is that a man with a cheerful smile on his face, or does he look like a dwarf in height?
?In short, it looks like 1.4 meters to less than 1.5 meters.
?His face is round and red, and he has a beard that reaches his chest, which makes people look beaming.
?On his head is a yellow pointed cloth hat with a swan feather on it.
?A small, close-fitting suit jacket, with a light blue trench coat on top, and the boots are the same yellow as the cloth hat.
?“Hello, sir!”
?He walked out with his head held high and his movements relaxed, and even took off his hat to greet Lan En enthusiastically.
In his other hand, the flannel ball was being held in his arms like an ordinary kitten, turning into a "bunch of cats". His big watery eyes were also confused about the situation.
?The little man in front of him spoke and looked like he was on a leisurely and comfortable outing. This made Lan En, who was planning to eliminate the enemy just a moment ago, feel at a loss.
"Uh" Lan En opened his mouth and tried to respond to the greeting, "How are you, sir?"
?“Of course, I’m fine!”
?The man walked towards Lan En cheerfully.
“Oh, the beautiful weather, the guests coming from afar, the chirping of birds in the woods, and the fresh air. As long as I have these, I will always be fine!”
As he said this, he handed Lan En the flannel ball from his arms. When he finally left his hand, he patted the kitten on the head with nostalgia.
"Meow?"
??Flannel Ball is still confused about the situation.
?The man crossed Lan En and then walked forward, which was the direction of the old willow tree.
?“Except you! You bad guy!”
?After crossing Lan En, the man shouted angrily at the old willow tree.
??He also had a wooden stick in his hand that he used as a walking stick. As he walked towards the old willow tree, he raised the stick in his hand like a grandpa hitting a naughty child.
Logically speaking, Lan En would not let ordinary people get close to the dangerous monsters he fights.
?But obviously, this man is anything but ordinary.
?His cane hit the hard and thick bark of the old willow tree.
?The bark of the tree is probably difficult to split with a sword, and only the tip of an ax or a spear can be used to cause damage.
??But with just these few blows, the old willow tree screamed louder than when Lan En cut off many branches.
?It seems like he was really taught a lesson.
??And the man was singing a song while fighting. Lan En knew that the woodcutter would shout some simple trumpets to encourage him while working.
?But this guy’s ‘chant’ is a bit too cheerful.
“You shouldn’t wake up! Eat soil well, dig deep into the roots of trees, drink water well, and sleep well! Old Tom advises you not to think about harming others!”
Every branch of the old willow tree was trembling, like a child shivering after being punished.
??The big old face on its trunk, which is made up of hardwood knobs and bark seams, gradually distorts into an ordinary tree bark pattern.
?? Lan En was holding a flannel ball in his arms, and Qilin's head was hanging on his shoulder. The three guys were staring blankly at the scene in front of them.
?When the old willow tree became as motionless as an ordinary tree, only swaying its branches gently in the breeze, the man who called himself "Old Tom" stopped moving.
?And he took a deep breath as if he was a little tired, straightened the collar of his light blue windbreaker, and walked towards Lan En and the others.
There was an apology on his face, but even with this expression, there was an irrepressible sense of relaxation and happiness, as if these two qualities had been deeply rooted in him.
?Every word and action is carried out spontaneously.
When the little old man came to them, he took off his hat again. Compared with the last time he passed by, this time it was more formal.
In response, Lann also put down the flannel ball and at the same time withdrew his Lake Lady's Sword.
?“Oops, please forgive me.”
?He repeated it again.
“Please forgive me, beautiful horse. I just dispersed the thundercloud you summoned. After all, although this old willow tree is evil-minded, it is still a member of the forest and nature. I really can’t bear you to burn it directly.”
Qilin hid behind Lan En. Only the horse's head tilted out from the witcher's shoulders, and its nostrils blew out a stream of hot air towards Tom.
?And he was still holding Lan En from behind, asking him to come up.
?Lan En doesn’t care about his temper after being frightened.
?“That’s what you say.” The witcher pushed Qilin’s head away with a subtle backhand, with a polite and bright smile on his face. "Are you a powerful wizard, old man?"
“Wizard, haha! Old Tom is not a wizard! I am not a wizard! Haha!”
?Lane's words seemed to make him laugh, maybe it was because he was cheerful by nature, anyway, Old Tom laughed happily.
?“This is Tom Bombadil.”
"Please come to my home, guests from afar. The table is filled with yellow cheese, pure honey, white bread and fresh butter. The golden berries are waiting for me to come home! We can have a good chat during the meal! "
