These Familiars Are Strange

Since there was an Elite Monster here, there was naturally one of the other top contender teams that were also here.

However, the situation of this place was completely different compared to the area around the Master Gnome.

Unlike the Fire God Team that wanted to use the different teams that there were as bait for the Master Gnome, the World Tree Team here was actually working with all the different teams that were gathered.

It didn't seem like there was any discord between the different teams.

It really seemed like they were all fully committed to working with one another.

I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I saw them like this since this wasn't a good thing for us.

The last time, we had been able to use the gaps between the different teams to our advantage to create chaos. That was what allowed us to cause that large mess and push the Fire God Team into a corner like that.

If it wasn't for that, I'm not certain we would have been able to do anything to the Fire God Team.

Huang Tuo's power was not false, it was something that I couldn't match head on.

Not to mention, I'm certain that they had hidden some kind of trump card just in case.

And this World Tree Team was on the same level as the Fire God Team…

Wang Rong and Iris were surprised to hear this, but I didn't give them a chance to say anything as I walked over to the group that was gathered around the World Tree Team.

When they saw us, they naturally were on guard against us.

I just raised my hands and said, "We want to work together with you. I'm sure that's why all of you are gathered like this."

There were a few people that seemed like they were still on guard, but the leader of the World Tree Team waved their hand at me with a smile before saying, "Let the leader come over and talk with us. We'll brief you on what we've discussed so far."

I gave a nod to Wang Rong and Iris before heading over to where they were gathered.

It didn't seem like they had any hesitation towards us. It seemed like the World Tree Team was willing to accept us without a single problem.

But that just made me more suspicious.

After all, the only people that could do something like that were those that had other plans or had overwhelming power that they didn't need to worry about things like this.

I was thinking that it was more the latter than the former.

The first thing that they did was introduce themselves.

The leader of the World Tree Team was a beautiful green haired girl with piercing green eyes named Leaf. It was clear that she was a foreigner, but she was also regarded as a talented youth of this country.

The way that she spoke was as if she truly did trust all the people that were here, even though this shouldn't be true since everyone here was a competitor.

Still, she laid out her plan clearly and what they had discussed previously.

It really didn't seem like there was anything that she was hiding with the way that she clearly laid out everything that they found so far.

Was there someone that was really that trusting of others?

No…it really didn't seem possible.

Once Leaf finished explaining everything, she asked everyone, "Are you ready? We'll start our plan now."

Everyone looked at each other as if there was still some doubt between them, but they eventually nodded in agreement.

It was clear that everyone thought the same thing as me. It was clear that everyone didn't seem to trust each other to actually cooperate against the Kijin.

So they were just going along to see how this would turn out.

But Leaf didn't seem to mind as she led the way forward after seeing that everyone nodded in agreement.

The World Tree Team was actually the ones that would be leading the charge against the Kijin. They didn't seem like they were planning to use the others as a distraction, but rather they were turning themselves into the distraction.

As soon as they appeared, the Kijin and the ogres around it immediately turned their attention to them.

Leaf didn't panic at all as she suddenly pulled out a shield that seemed to be made of leaves. This was just an artifact and not the power of her familiar, but it was enough to trap all of the ogres that had been around the Kijin.

In a single second, the ogres were caught by the roots that suddenly appeared out of the ground. These roots were strong enough to actually pierce through the floor of the dungeon, but then again…there was only wood flooring here.

It might have been more impressive if we were still in the part of the castle that was made of stone.

When the Kijin saw these roots appear, it suddenly gave a roar before flames appeared. These flames roared around the Kijin and it sent these flames forward at these roots.

The flames didn't seem to burn the ogres when they made contact, but it was different for the roots.

Only the roots didn't burn as fast as one might think they would.

They were actually able to resist the flames for a while before showing signs of being burnt away by the flames. But the time that they held out for was enough that more roots were able to come out of the ground and support the ones that were being burnt.

Even if they were being burnt, there were more and more roots that took the place of the ones that were being burnt.

Everyone just watched in a daze while Leaf's powers clashed with the flames of the Kijin.

But then they came back to their senses when she said, "What are you waiting for? Take down the ogres already!"
