Chapter 622 Chapter 624 Being used as bait
Just as Rong Xianxian finished speaking, there was a gunshot, and a bloody hole appeared on He Yi's forehead. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he fell down softly.
The pistol in the hands of the researcher next to Academician Zhang was still smoking, and the body of He Yi on the ground was burning with crackling flames.
Rong Xianxian looked at the researcher coldly. The researcher fumbled on his helmet for a while, opened the mask in front, revealing a young face.
"Gong Jiayao, what are you doing? He Yi killed my brother and wanted to kill Captain Rong. He hasn't revealed the mastermind behind the scenes yet, but you killed him. Are you in cahoots with him?" Gu Ming looked at Gong Jiayao and questioned.
"Do you know how He Yi killed Gu Yi? Do you know why he wanted to kill Gu Yi?" Facing Gu Ming's anger, Gong Jiayao looked relaxed, as if he was fearless.
The Jiucha Blood Tree was still growing taller, the ground was shaking, sand and rocks were flying, and clouds of red nematodes covered the sky, painting the world a blood red. Judging from the way the ground was shaking, it seemed that the roots of the Blood Tree were trying hard to pull themselves out from the ground.
"I understand. He Yi took the opportunity to change Gu Yi's oxygen cylinder to throw the previously collected specimen, a tiny piece of dead blood tree root, into the pipe connected to the oxygen cylinder, making Gu Yi's body a container for nourishing the dead blood tree roots. Then he poured the blood of high-level monsters into the soil. He did all this to encourage the dead blood tree to evolve again." Academician Zhang sighed after he finished speaking.
"It was because this dead blood tree evolved from six forks to nine forks that caused the dead forest to expand wildly. We are all trapped here, and the survivors in the area had to move away. The army was dispatched and besieged for several days. All kinds of weapons were used, but they still couldn't do anything about the tree. Under such circumstances, he actually tried to force the tree to evolve again. He doesn't want to live anymore, and he wants to drag everyone to be buried with him." Gu Ming said angrily.
The flying thick roots soon surrounded the boulder tightly. The people on the boulder seemed to be wrapped in a cocoon. Attached to the roots were enlarged versions of red nematodes. Tiny red nematodes kept flying out of the bodies of these large red nematodes. These red nematodes bit their protective clothing. Seeing this situation, Gong Jiayao had already put on his protective mask.
On the thick root system, there are tiny tree roots like capillaries that crawl quickly towards the people on the boulders like snakes.
Rong Xianxian poured a small bucket of gasoline into the fire. With a "bang", the fire spread and illuminated the space covered by the tree roots.
The tiny roots were baked by the flames, slowing down the spread.
There was no expression on Rong Xianxian's face. She stared at Gong Jiayao, activated the Soul-Calming Bell, and hypnotized him. This method of controlling the opponent's soul and hypnotizing him did not require any skills. Although it would cause damage to the opponent's soul to a certain extent, it was simple, crude, and easy to operate.
"Even if the Dead Blood Tree evolves, it can't trap me. Do you have any other means?" Rong Xianxian asked him.
"He Yi just fired a flare to determine the direction. Captain Jiang will immediately order the firing of booster missiles in this direction. The heavy artillery fire will burn this area into ruins. Even if you have the ability to go to heaven and earth, you will not escape death today." Gong Jiayao grinned.
"Who instructed Captain Jiang to do this? He was used by others and later used as a pawn to pay the price. Isn't he afraid of dying with regret?" Rong Xianxian frowned.
"Hahaha, so naive, so ridiculous. How could Captain Jiang be used by others? What crime has he committed? He solved this crisis, and he will only rise step by step afterwards. You don't understand, right? Let me tell you, in fact, Academician Zhang has already written in his experimental report that this dead blood tree obtained sufficient nutrition from the flesh and blood of the practitioners who died in the forest and evolved into the Jiucha Dead Blood Tree. After the evolution, the range of the dead forest expanded wildly, providing it with more energy. The army tried every means to remove this tree, but the main root system of this tree was buried deep underground. No matter what weapon was used, it could not be hurt at all. What should they do? The military received news that this kind of tree was growing higher in Jiucha. "The dead blood tree is most vulnerable during the evolution process, because in this process, its roots will be pulled out from deep underground and tempered by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Gu Yi's flesh and blood, and the high-level monster essence and blood that He Yi just poured into the soil, prompted the dead blood tree to start evolving. The flare just fired was the location. The dead blood tree needs to absorb energy due to its evolutionary instinct. Its main root system will be eager to deal with us. In this process, the army only needs to launch missiles to damage the main root system. After damaging the main root system, there is a high probability that the dead blood tree will be killed. Wouldn't the crisis of the dead blood tree be resolved in this way?" Gong Jiayao said proudly.
"So, we were used as bait to lure these roots out!" Gu Ming was so angry that his veins were exposed and his eyes almost spit fire.
"We have conducted field research for such a long time, but have not found the weakness of the Dead Blood Tree. How did you know? How do you know that the Dead Blood Tree will pull out its main roots from deep underground when it evolves to a higher level?" Academician Zhang asked in shock and curiosity.
Just by looking at the tree roots flying all over the sky, you can tell that what Gong Jiayao said is true.
"How else could he know that? He must have heard it from an outsider." Rong Xianxian sneered.
Gong Hanyu once joined forces with outsiders to deal with her, and now these people are using the same tricks.
Maybe the outsider is hiding somewhere, watching this good show. The outsider must have some plan when he comes out. The sap of ordinary dead blood tree has the effect of delaying the aging of the body. The Nine-branched Dead Blood Tree may have more magical uses. The Nine-branched Dead Blood Tree evolves to a higher level. This higher level treasure is what the outsider wants to get!
"Tell me what else you know! Who is behind this conspiracy? What other means have you prepared to deal with me?" Rong Xianxian asked in a seductive manner.
"What is about to be launched is a booster missile, which is specifically designed to restrain your ability to rebound attacks." Gong Jiayao, who was obviously hypnotized, kept avoiding the question of who was the mastermind, which made Rong Xianxian doubt the effectiveness of her hypnosis.
However, when she withdrew her mental control, Gong Jiayao became unstable and screamed with his head in his hands, obviously injured in the soul.
"Rong Xianxian, you killed so many of my clansmen and caused my Gong family to decline. Today, God has opened his eyes and let you die here. Our Gong family's revenge has finally been avenged!" Gong Jiayao said to Rong Xianxian hatefully.
