Chapter 305 Scarecrow

Chapter 305 Scarecrow

Chapter 305 Scarecrow

To enter Node 7, you just need the corresponding ticket.

But there's a problem.

Luo Xi only had ticket number 7 in his hand.

What is known now is that ticket number 7 can only be obtained from the witch.

However, this problem was easily solved. Zhang Zhe, the tavern owner, had killed many witches before, so he had enough boat tickets for Luo Xi to use. So he just 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 make predictions based on the plot we are familiar with. The current Node 7 is likely to have been completely distorted by those witches. After all, it is the base camp of the alliance. I have sent many people to investigate, but without exception, no one has come back alive."

Zhang Zhe felt that it was a bit 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 for anyone's opinion.

To put it bluntly, Luo Xi only believes in himself.

So Zhang Zhe was just giving a reminder.

Besides, he would go along too.

In the past, the reason why he hid in Node 2 was that if he left Node 2, he would most likely be sniped by the masters of the Witch Union.

But now it’s different. In his words, since Luo Xi is going, he certainly can’t continue to hide here.

"It's time to go all in, and we must go all in!"

Not only him, but all the masters trained in the tavern must be brought over. This time, they have to play a big game.

Luo Xi nodded. This time he was not going to sneak in secretly. Since he had already passed the message to the witch, he was going in a high-profile manner.

In this case, Zhang Zhe, who belongs to the first echelon of combat effectiveness in Fairy Tale Town, must be brought over.

Cinderella had to take it over without asking.

The same goes for the mad lion.

"You come and prepare." Luo Xi gave instructions, and Zhang Zhe immediately went to take care of it.

Soon, the carriage picked up people and arrived at the dock.

There are already a few people 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 it was her first time traveling far away, everyone else was silent.

Everyone knows that Node 7 is very dangerous.

That is the headquarters of the Witch Union. The Darkfurnace Tavern has been fighting against the Witch Union. Except for Node No. 2, the Witch Union has almost completely controlled all other node worlds.

This is a confrontation in which the strength is completely unequal.

The enemy is strong and we are weak. If we fail, it can be said that the Darkforge Tavern will be destroyed.

"Luo Xi, these are all my people. They are quite powerful. They can handle all of them except the high-level witches. Just give the orders for what to do." Zhang Zhe was quite complacent. After all, these were the assets he had carefully cultivated.

The strength is not weak.

The Darkforge Tavern was closed for this operation.

"Let's get on board. If nothing goes wrong, there should be someone waiting for us at node 7." Luo Xi glanced at Zhang Zhe's assets, and among them should be masters brought from other nodes.

For example, there are desert bandits with tattoos all over their bodies, and forest hunters carrying bows and arrows.
Everyone handed the boatman their tickets one by one, 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 crossed rapids and experienced dangers, but in the end, we arrived safely at our destination."

When I went out to take a look, I found that it was no longer the city of the kingdom at node 2.

It's a big forest.

But the weather was nice, with sunshine, green grass, fresh air and a gentle breeze.

Luo Xi felt that this environment alone was much better than the day of confinement.

It is conceivable that when nothing happened in the fairy tale town at the beginning, it must have been a paradise-level existence. Just being able to come here to bask in the sun is worth the price of the ticket.

A group of people got off the boat and walked onto the dock. There was a signpost on the ground in front of them. Looking closely, there was an arrow on it pointing in a direction. The wooden sign read: The way to the Land of Oz!
If you walk a few more 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 walked out.

The other party seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

The forest hunter in the team drew his bow and shot an arrow almost instantly. The arrow shot out like a stream of light, passed through the figure's body, and then stuck in the tree behind.

Bang.

The feather tail at the end of the arrow was still trembling.

The figure immediately cursed: "It's very dangerous!"

Then he walked over.

After seeing the figure clearly, many people were surprised.

Because it turned out to be a scarecrow.

The head is a straw-stuffed cloth bag with eyes, nose and mouth painted on it. It wears a worn blue pointed hat, faded blue clothes and old shoes. Under the shadow, the scarecrow is full of an indescribable sense of weirdness in both tone and body movements.

But at this moment, it moved like a living person, cursing. The eyes painted on the bag's head were dead, but at this moment, it gave people the feeling that it was 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 visit her castle!"

Dorothy is the protagonist of the fairy tale "The Wizard of Oz". Obviously, Node 7 in the 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, after experiencing the adventure, the protagonist Dorothy returned to her original world with the help of the spell and the power of the silver shoes.

And here, she actually became some powerful witch.

Zhang Zhe came over at this time: "There must be something wrong. As far as I know, Dorothy died a long time ago. Even in the twisted plot line, the original protagonist should not exist. It must be a trap."

Several masters in the tavern here have already drawn their weapons and are ready for battle.

Just wait for the order and then attack immediately.

The Scarecrow was indeed lying.

Moreover, this lie was not clever at all. If a person uses a lie that can be easily exposed to deceive others, then it is possible that the other party’s real purpose is not to deceive others at all.

"Do it!" Luo Xi gave the order after thinking for a moment.

Zhang Zhe nodded and waved his hand. Immediately, two forest hunters shot arrows, but this time the arrows were stained with flames.

The scarecrow is most afraid of fire.

Sure enough, the arrow immediately ignited the straw on the scarecrow, and in an instant, the scarecrow was engulfed by the flames and burned to ashes.

Zhang Zhe walked over and searched in the ashes of the scarecrow to no avail. He walked over and said, "This is the disadvantage of exposing your identity in advance. It will definitely cause trouble. But you must have anticipated this possibility, so what should we do next?"

"Wait!" Luo Xi's answer was very simple. He did not give any other instructions. He had a feeling that everything was under his control.

Zhang Zhe didn't ask any more questions.

He waved his hand, and several forest hunters he brought with him immediately dispersed and hid in the forest, using the trees as cover for ambush and reconnaissance.

This way, even if someone approaches, you will know it immediately.

In addition, Zhang Zhe has several close combat experts around him.

One of them is the 'Undead' that he controls.

Therefore, no matter whether the opponent attacks head-on or by surprise, there will be no problem in responding to this.

At the dock not far behind, the boat and the boatman were motionless, and together with the strange rainbow-colored river, they formed a static picture, like an oil painting.

The mad lion stood behind Luo Xi, also observing the surroundings vigilantly.

Cinderella sat aside, eating the fruits she brought, and then began her obsessive magic meditation.

Just before boarding the ship, Luo Xi handed her the [Witch Tree Wand].

In this way, at least in terms of equipment, Cinderella is no different from a formal witch, and even the spells she casts will only be stronger.

As for the voice she heard during meditation, Luo Xi did not stop her from contacting it. On the contrary, after careful consideration, Luo Xi simply gave her encouragement and allowed her to improve herself.

After a while, there was movement in the deep forest again.

Two figures walked towards us from a distance, one in front and one behind.

Like a ghost!

But in reality, it was still the scarecrow that came, and it 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 no different from a human.

Swamp witch?

Luo Xi shook his head, then gestured to Zhang Zhe, who immediately raised his hand.

Whoosh~
The sound of an arrow pierced the air, and the flaming arrow directly burned the scarecrow to ashes.

Another scarecrow behind him seemed not to see it. He walked out of the shadows and said woodenly: "The Great Witch of the East sent me to greet you and invite you."

"Burn it!" This time, Luo Xi didn't even wait for the other party to finish speaking. The rocket flew over, and the rest of the other party's words also disappeared in the burning flames.

Time passed by minute by minute.

At this place, Luo Xi and his companions waited until dark. During this process, scarecrows of various shapes and sizes arrived one after another. They represented different witches. Luo Xi had never even heard of most of them, and they were not characters in the original plot.

At night, the forest is far from being as beautiful as it is during the day. On the contrary, the forest shrouded in darkness is like another world.

Silent, eerie and cold.

The flames of several scarecrows on the ground that had not yet burned out were emitting light, but they seemed insignificant in front of this dark forest. In the distance, it was pitch black, and there seemed to be many terrifying existences hidden.

Here comes another scarecrow.

It looks pretty much the same, and this might be the thirty-eighth scarecrow that's about to burn.

"Mr. Luo Xi, the Great Northern Witch sent me to greet you."

"Lead the way!"

This time, Luo Xi did not order an attack. Not to mention Zhang Zhe and those forest hunters, even the scarecrow on the opposite side was stunned.
