No sooner had the base commander finished speaking than a green object hurtled towards the group.
The thick branches are covered with layers of green leaves, and strands of branches flutter in the air.
All around were green branches swaying, and for a moment it was impossible to tell where the branches were.
It's a mutated willow tree!
The willow branches, like green serpents, danced swiftly in the air, ready to attack the group at any moment.
The leaves of the willow branches are like tiny, sharp knives, incredibly piercing.
Bai Xizhu noticed that the willow branches were a dark color, unlike newly sprouted green buds, and more like old leaves that had been growing for a long time.
It was so green it was almost black.
This is the "Dark" plant, and it belongs to the same series as the plants grown by butchers, cooks, and contractors!
There are good and bad mutant plants.
Good mutant plants are actually plants that have mutated under normal conditions.
For example, Bai Zhengxuan's mutated ivy and Grandpa Liu's mutated pothos, and even the mutated datura plant planted in Bai Xizhu's space are normal mutated plants.
The animals are divided into two types: mutated animals and zombie dogs.
The same goes for plants; there is also a "dark" plant.
This plant not only likes to devour human flesh and blood like a carnivorous plant, but it also devours rotten flesh, that is, the flesh of zombies.
They accumulate black zombie viruses within their bodies, representing a completely different evolutionary path from ordinary plants.
"Be careful not to get cut!"
Bai Xizhu dodged the flying branches, reminding Leng Yebai and the base leader.
Under normal circumstances, only mutated plants of a certain level know how to use the zombie virus for their own purposes. Such mutated plants will inject the zombie virus into the wounds of their prey, making it their food.
It's unclear how mutated the willow tree has become, so it's best to be cautious.
The base commander nodded and said seriously to Leng Yebai, "Move forward a little, you're blocking my way and Xiao Zhu!"
Neither he nor Xiaozhu had antibodies against the zombie virus, but his son did.
The base commander is truly an extraordinary little genius for coming up with the idea of having his son block the way!
Leng Yebai: ...
Although it hurt, Leng Yebai still stood at the forefront.
The purple lightning collided with the flying branches, causing a few dark green leaves to fall from the branches before quickly coalescing again and attacking the three of them.
Bai Xizhu noticed that the fallen leaves landed directly on the ground and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It's like we've burrowed right into the ground!
"The roots are underground! Taotie, dig them out!"
Bai Xizhu looked at the branches spreading around her and suddenly understood something. She directly gave orders to Taotie.
"Okay!"
The Taotie twitched its nose to confirm the location, and then dug a deep hole in no time with its two paws, just like a dog digging a hole.
There was a piece of willow paper in the deep pit, without a head or tail. Its leaves, which were so green they were almost black, moved and flew directly towards the Taotie.
The Taotie remained motionless, letting the willow leaves fly onto it without sustaining any injury.
Its nose twitched twice more, and then it went to dig another hole.
However, each time they could only dig up a section of branch without a beginning or end.
The mutated willow branches are buried deep in the ground. With so many willows here, it's impossible to pinpoint which willow branch spread from.
It must be said that the mutated willow tree is very cunning and knows how to hide itself.
If it weren't for the high level of supernatural abilities of Bai Xizhu and the other two, they would have become nourishment for the willow tree long ago if they were ordinary people.
The branches emitted a faint, fishy stench, the putrid smell unique to zombies.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
The lightning in the base commander's hand struck the branch, and the sparks that erupted instantly scorched several willow branches.
Like the base leader, Leng Yebai unleashed lightning, turning the nearest pieces of paper into charcoal.
Animals are naturally afraid of lightning, and so are plants.
Before the base chief unleashed his ultimate attack, the mutated willow tree sensed that the group was not to be trifled with and silently retracted its willow branches.
Apart from the charred willow branches on the ground, it seemed that nothing had happened.
Following the direction the Taotie was smelling, the group continued forward, but this time everyone was more careful, fearing that the willow tree beside them might act up again.
Further in, you have to wade through the surrounding weeds and bushes, and every step is arduous.
Look here.
Leng Yebai squatted on the ground, holding a tree branch and pointing to the dried blood on the ground for Bai Xizhu.
The black blood had turned into thin lumps, and with a gentle poke, it turned into black powder.
Besides the black blood on the ground, there was also black blood on the tree branches nearby.
Clearly, a zombie passed by and was scratched by a tree branch, leaving these marks.
"Why don't the mutated willow trees use zombies as nourishment?"
Bai Xizhu frowned as she looked at a very clear black footprint.
This flesh-devouring plant will not spare any rotting zombie or human that passes by.
Only under one condition can a mutated plant that devours flesh and blood suppress its behavior.
It's a contract.
It's like the relationship between white ramie and mutated datura.
The mutated datura flower will never harm Bai Xizhu, nor will it harm the person Bai Xizhu has designated to protect.
Can zombies and mutated plants have a symbiotic relationship?
Bai Xizhu was certain that this zombie was definitely not a zombie king, but most likely an ordinary zombie with a face full of rotting flesh.
