Chapter 141: The best taunt in the game!
Soul Trees had a round border around its forest.
[You have entered Soul Trees Woodhome Lv. 90-100]
Many players stood exactly at the border, waiting for their allies' arrival.
This kind of setup piqued Michu's interest.
His and Momo's eyes turned to Venomous who was aware of what was going on here!
The snake explained, "Soul Trees had set up formation around their forest. In this formation, they are stronger. Alas, the formations always have good and weak spots. Their flaw is that they can not leave their forest."
It was not a flaw if they planned to live for eternity here.
However, the Soul Trees had a short temper. If one used flames too much on their veins and leaves, they would snap and chase as far as possible!
"Speaking of the chase..." Venomous chuckled and pointed at the nearby trees running after some players with flame techniques around their weapons.
Those players were laughing so much it looked fun, but if one shifted their eyes behind them, one would instantly notice the enraged tree chasing them.
This tree was full of vitality and strength with vivid colors on its leaves and bark. In the middle of its height, its face howled. Its face looked like a thousand fireflies linked together to form!
It shone with bright yellow colors.
Countless roots and leaves chased after the players, but the defensive spells conjured mid-air to stop them. Those were mostly flame shields and tank abilities that could form defensive magic shields from afar!
Said tanks waited patiently just behind the border for the tree to leave its territory.
Once it did, its whole vivid colors took a great change. It withered and turned gray, its howls billowing.
The tank sneered, "Wrath Taunt!" He exactly aimed at its rage and flawlessly gathered the tree's full attention.
But once it left its formation, the defensive stats of the tree plummeted down! Although its attacks remained strong, the lack of proper defense ended up costing its life as its form disappeared in a flash within the flame's deluge.
The players high-fived each other and rushed to fish another prey!
At that time, Michu commented, "It sounds fun to lure... But the more I think about it, the more bored I get!"
It would be fun at the beginning and it also would increase Michu's movement skills proficiency. It sounded like Michu could give it a try, but Venomous knew he would get bored after around five tries.
Why was that so?
Because it wouldn't be challenging!
If he deliberately lowered the trees' defenses through this flaw, he wouldn't be able to fight against them at their peak and it would be boring!
Michu liked challenges and he would prefer to fight against many trees at the same time while they remained at their peak.
Yumi was aware of it, so she didn't think of taking one of the spots on the border.
"Players also have flaws. If we don't kill the tree fast enough, the other party might snatch some exp and leverage our hard work. Therefore, let's follow our feelings and go straight to the middle of this forest."
"M-Middle? Isn't that a bit too dangerous?" Rainbow May became the rational voice in the team.
It was because she had never played with Lil Monke! It was fair for her to look differently at some things and a safer approach seemed better.
Not only Michu didn't show any signs of knowing about the trees, but he also didn't possess any offensive skills against them.
That was a little not true, however.
Michu had received a package from Feng and it contained a lot of Red Crystals. If he wanted, he could clear the whole forest in one boom, but that was pointless anyway.
Lil Monke's Bonk also could lower defenses!
The biggest flaw was that Michu didn't possess proper mass area skills, but he wasn't so worried about it!
"It's fine! We are strong!" And dying here would fuel Michu's challenging will anyway!
Rainbow May sighed and nodded, then their party set deeper into the forest.
After around thirty steps, the party noticed a strange phenomenon.
All lured trees stopped and glanced in their directions.
More accurately, their eyes locked on Momo's red jewels.
"We have the best taunt in the game." Michu laughed!
But the other players weren't amused by that sight! Their hard work and mana consumables were wasted because of a woman's eyes? What kind of eyes did she possess?
Fortunately for Momo, they weren't all into her due to their wrath and another reason! But the problem remained around them!
Her eyes were like exquisite jewels any monster wanted to possess!
It was the allure that worked better than taunt and all those trees hurled their attacks at Momo!
"That's the Lil Monke! This guy has so many unique stats!" One of the players recognized Michu!
He spoke through his teeth, his wrath was palpable.
The rest of his friends and even other parties had the same air swirling around them, so they nodded and hoped for Lil Monke and his party to perish under this barrage of attacks!
They also wanted to snatch Michu and his party's equipment!
One player could hoard just much unique stuff!
Alas, Michu and his party were the monsters!
BANG!
After the roots and leaves barrelled into them, both Michu and Venomous protected their party with their abnormal strength.
Michu raised his staff and spun it with Monkey God's Bonk and Monkey God's Staff Control! His staff reached great heights and swept away all roots and leaves aimed at them! He smiled and taunted for more!
As for his girlfriend, she used one of her techniques as well.
Her fingers bent and she swept those around her, leaving red trails lingering mid-air! Her lips parted and she spat out blood poison into those trials. After the poison sunk in her technique, it flashed with scarlet hue and defended her against the trees.
Once the roots and leaves touched those trails, the poison kicked in and swarmed its enemies.
The leaves dissipated while the roots became the road for the poison!
