Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 14 Old Willow Tree

All the hobbits who saw this scene opened their eyes wide, as if they were dreaming.

Luo Rui, the head of the Brandy Deer family on the high ground, looked at the figure with shock and burning eyes, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.

He knew the identity of the wizard Duir, but he never thought he would be so powerful. Under that magical and powerful magic, he watched Duir strolling among the tree people as if he was strolling in the garden. Wherever he went, no one could stop him!

At this moment, he felt a little regretful that he had not been able to make friends with this wizard before. At the same time, he envied the lucky boy Drogo Baggins, who was able to live with the wizard for so long. He believed that even if they were not friends, their relationship would be quite close.

With such a powerful wizard as his backer, no one would look down on him.

Thinking of this, Rory Brandy Deer had some ideas in his mind. Maybe it would be a good idea to let his daughter Dorado interact with that boy.

As time passes little by little.

On the battlefield, Dui was panting and looked a little tired.

He had no idea how many Huorn had killed. Those petrified Huorn were now like motionless trees, almost making the originally treeless wide grassland very crowded, and a dense forest appeared out of thin air.

After defeating so many tree people, Dui was very tired and his throat was almost unable to speak.

But the result did not disappoint. Dui successfully resisted the attack of the tree people and prevented them from crossing the high fence and entering the Hobbit territory.

Seeing that the tree people stopped attacking, Dui did not let down his guard.

Boom! The ground shook.

A huge monster emerged from the old forest, destroying all the trees in its path and plowing a wide path through the dense forest.

In the light of the fire, the true face of the behemoth was revealed.

It’s the old willow tree in the center of the old forest!
The old willow tree had a black and carbonized surface and its branches were withered and yellow. In the darkness and the flickering light of the fire, it looked like a ferocious monster with bared fangs and claws, emitting a tremendous murderous aura and making a harsh, low buzzing sound.

Dui's eyes narrowed. This old willow tree actually came out!

Moreover, compared to the already huge trunk, its roots are even larger, almost ten times the size of its body. It waves those thick roots like a giant octopus, sweeping away all the trees blocking the way.

Dui immediately discovered that he was being locked in an invisible gaze filled with murderous intent, and the source was the old willow tree.

Dui finally confirmed that the old willow tree's target was him.

He instantly tensed up and was ready for battle.

The old willow tree didn't stop. Countless huge and thick roots grabbed the ground and rushed all the way to the high hedge. It used its huge roots to pierce the hedge and tear it apart as easily as tearing a piece of paper.

Everyone gasped, their faces filled with fear and despair. This old willow tree was a hundred times more terrifying than any other treeman! How could they stop it?

Dui, who was facing the old willow tree head-on, felt even more pressure at this time.

"Protect yourself with armor! All petrified, all petrified...!" He immediately cast an armor spell on himself, and then continued to cast the spell loudly.

His dry throat, already from overuse, had become even hoarser, and he could taste the rust in his throat every time he chanted a spell.

Even so, the petrification spell could only hold the old willow tree for a few breaths before it forcefully broke free and swung its huge roots and willow branches towards Dui, hitting the illusory shield formed by the Iron Armor Spell heavily.

Under the constant blows, the illusory shield protecting Dui became increasingly dim, and showed signs of breaking at any moment.

The hobbits watching this scene also felt nervous.

Dui was also in a state of distress at this time. This old willow tree not only had an absurdly high magic resistance, but also had very strong physical attacks. Each of its attacks was extremely powerful, and even the Iron Armor Curse could not last long.

Seeing the critical situation, he shouted towards the high ground where the Brandybuck family was, "Hurry and throw the oil barrels and wine barrels towards me!"

Upon hearing Dui's voice, the members of the Brandy Deer family were somewhat confused and looked at their patriarch, Rory, seeking his decision. Rory, the Brandy Deer, seeing Dui'er simmering in the distance against the old willow tree, ordered without hesitation to launch all the barrels containing oil and wine towards Dui'er using catapults.

"Fire!" With the order, the catapult shot up, and the wine barrels flew out like cannonballs, flying over the sky and landing accurately on the position of Dui and the old willow tree.

"Wingardim Leviosa!"

Dui's dry and hoarse voice sounded, and the falling barrels instantly stopped in mid-air.

Then Dui pointed and quickly smashed it onto the old willow tree, soaking it through.

"The flames are blazing~" A small flame emerged from his fingertips. With a flick of his hand, the flame flew out and landed on the old willow tree.

The old willow tree was quickly surrounded by the flames and turned into a towering flaming tree. The dazzling flames illuminated the entire Buckland, and even Frogzeton on the other side of the Brandywine River could see it clearly.

The old willow tree let out a shrill and painful scream, and its branches and roots swung wildly, trying to put out the flames on its body, but it was useless. The flames burned more and more fiercely like a fire in the tarsal bone.

The scorching heat caused the surrounding grass leaves to curl and turn yellow, and I could feel the heat wave coming towards me.

Dui looked at the old willow tree struggling frantically in the sea of ​​fire, with no expression on his face.

But the vigilance in my heart was raised to the highest level.

Beware of the old willow tree's dying counterattack.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The roots and branches of the old willow tree quickly carbonized in the fire, crackling and making a sound like a wail.

An invisible pair of eyes filled with hatred and resentment stared at Dui.

The huge crack on the tree trunk was wide open, like a giant mouth.

A strange, piercing, and sharp melody came out from the crack and drifted throughout the old forest.

The melody was full of magic, suppressing all other sounds, making it seem as if only this strange melody filled the entire world.

Dui's face changed and he quickly covered his ears with his hands.

But it turned out to have no effect.

The tune ignored his blocked ears, and the devilish sound filled his brain, echoing continuously in his mind.

His thoughts and consciousness gradually became confused and blurred, as if another will was trying to seize control of his body!

"Snapped!"

Dui slapped himself hard, trying to wake himself up.

But the effect was minimal and consciousness continued to gradually fade.

He gritted his teeth and thrust his left hand into the fire.

"Ah!"

The severe pain made him cry out in pain, and his originally blurred consciousness was instantly restored.

Dui regained consciousness temporarily, but the hobbits present were not so lucky. Under the hypnosis of the magic sound, their eyes became blurred and empty, and then they approached the old willow tree like puppets.

Dui's face changed drastically. If these hobbits were allowed to get close to the old willow tree, they would either be crushed to death by the crazy old willow tree or burned to death by the fire!
The old willow tree wants everyone to be buried with it!
