Chapter 520 Acacia Tree
Then he watched as the SUV was pulled up by several vines, rising higher and higher.
Then, two extremely thick vines broke through the car window and reached into the car.
After making sure that there was nothing they wanted inside, the SUV was thrown away again and rolled over onto the wasteland at the side of the road.
Leng Ning was shocked. It was actually a mutation!
She had only heard of this thing in her previous life, but had never seen it. And she heard about the mutant plants almost five years after the apocalypse.
Although she had never seen it before, she knew it was undoubtedly a mutant plant. It was a vine plant like Xiao Man, and one of the most difficult ones.
Seeing two vines flying towards him, Leng Ning hurriedly released Xiao Man and used his wood-related ability.
Xiaoman quickly grew vines, which directly entangled the flying vines and locked them tightly.
But soon, new vines flew towards Leng Ning.
Leng Ning was not in a hurry and continued to direct Xiao Man to deal with it.
At the same time, the search for the source of the vines began.
When another wave of vines arrived, Xiaoman finally couldn't control her temper anymore and directly generated a sharp knife with thorns, and started to cut as many as they came.
After some investigation, Leng Ning finally saw the location of the mutated plant.
These vines actually came from a huge acacia tree.
"You can only blame your bad luck for messing with me." Leng Ning raised the corner of his lips and stepped on Xiaoman's vines to rise step by step.
Soon, Leng Ning arrived not far from the acacia tree, and with the help of Xiaoman's vines, he flew into the air and finally saw the whole picture of the acacia tree.
This is an old acacia tree, with a trunk that is as big as two adults can hug. Unlike other big trees that lose their leaves in winter, this one is still lush and green.
As to why it lived so well, the piles of bones and human and animal remains under the tree provided the answer.
In ancient China, the acacia tree has been called a ghost tree since ancient times. If someone else saw this scene, they might really think that the acacia tree had become a spirit.
No wonder she didn't encounter a single zombie or living creature on her way out of Kang Town. She was afraid that all the zombies and animals passing by this road would become fertilizer for it.
The acacia tree failed to attack Leng Ning repeatedly, and was stopped by Xiao Man every time. Not only did Xiao Man stop it, but she also kept cutting off its vines. This soon triggered its rage.
Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, it still couldn't get close to Leng Ning at all.
Leng Ning looked at the situation for a while and didn't want to delay any further.
He immediately activated his mental power, allowing Xiaoman to grow a sharp giant axe. At the same time, the powerful fourth-order mental pressure also went towards the acacia tree.
"Squeak-squeak-squeak-squeak--" Suddenly, Leng Ning seemed to hear some auditory hallucination.
His mental strength paused for a moment, and Leng Ning felt a little confused, but he didn't think much about it and prepared to get rid of the acacia tree.
"Squeak-squeak-squeak--" the sound from before rang out again.
Leng Ning was startled and looked suddenly towards the locust tree opposite that was extending its vines to block the giant axe.
The little brute had infinite strength, and could keep sharpening the axe blade. How could the acacia vines block it? The acacia vines could only keep breaking under the giant axe.
The instinct for survival prompted it to continuously stretch out vines to block the giant axe from approaching it, but unfortunately, it was destined to be in vain.
It could only watch as the huge axe chopped down on its branches.
With a "hiss", a huge branch of the locust tree was cut off.
"Squeak——" This time, Leng Ning felt that the sound was very miserable.
“Squeak—”
Another thick branch.
Leng Ning finally confirmed that the sound she heard actually came from the locust tree opposite.
Although she couldn't understand what the acacia tree said, she could hear the emotion in its voice. It seemed to be asking her for help.
"squeak--"
In a blink of an eye, Xiaoman had chopped down only three of the lush branches of the locust tree.
"Die!" At this moment, Leng Ning heard Xiaoman's cold voice in his mind.
Seeing that the giant axe was about to chop directly at the main trunk of the acacia tree this time, Leng Ning finally spoke up.
"stop--"
The giant axe paused, and then, without listening to Leng Ning, it chopped straight towards the main branch of the acacia tree.
Leng Ning frowned and used his mental strength to force Xiao Man's axe to stop less than ten centimeters away from the main branch of the acacia tree.
Afterwards, Leng Ning forced Xiao Man to retract the giant axe and turn it back into a vine.
After a while.
"Squeak-squeak-squeak." Leng Ning finally heard the sound of the locust tree again.
There was crying and joy in the voice, as if it was thanking her.
"What's going on?" Leng Ning asked Xiao Man through his sea of consciousness.
Since reaching the fourth level, Xiao Man could communicate with her in human language. However, he was too lazy and liked to hum and whine to her, so he rarely talked to her.
Just now, it disobeyed her and wanted to kill the acacia tree in anger. This behavior was too abnormal. And she didn't like it very much.
"It - wants to hurt - the master. Damn it!" Xiaoman's childish answer echoed in Leng Ning's sea of consciousness.
Then he angrily pointed several vines at the locust tree opposite.
"Squeak-squeak." The branches of the locust tree trembled immediately, making pitiful pleading sounds towards Leng Ning.
Leng Ning took a look at the locust tree, which was in a state of desolation and still crying and begging for mercy, and felt something was wrong.
"Tell the truth." Leng Ning directly stopped Xiao Man and then said in a deep voice.
She knew that her spiritual pet, Xiaoman, had no tolerance for anyone or anything other than loving her as its master, and was even quite cruel most of the time.
But she felt that this time Xiaoman wanted to kill the locust tree not because of its nature, at least it was different from its previous desire to kill people.
"Yes - the truth." The childish voice said immediately, but it was obviously lacking in momentum.
Leng Ning's expression immediately darkened.
"Master, don't be angry." Xiao Man said quickly when she saw that she had failed.
"I'm usually too indulgent to you, am I not?" Looking at Xiaoman in the sea of consciousness, Leng Ning's face became even more unhappy.
"Master, don't, don't be angry. Xiaoman was wrong." Xiaoman hurriedly apologized.
A small piece of green vine flew to Leng Ning's wrist, and kept acting coquettishly and cutely, trying to make Leng Ning happy.
But Leng Ning still had a cold face and didn't look like he was willing to forgive.
"If you don't tell me, stay here forever and don't go out." Leng Ning said with a cold face.
She loved Xiao Man and regarded her as her closest comrade-in-arms. But she knew that she was Xiao Man's master, and she would never allow her pet to deceive her.
Especially, Xiao Man's origin is mysterious, and her true form is the prehistoric terrifying creature Tian Teng. Unable to control Xiao Man 100%, she would rather let it sleep forever in her sea of consciousness.
"Xiao Man - say it. Master - is not angry." Hearing that Leng Ning was going to punish her so severely, Xiao Man immediately became timid.
Leng Ning had no expression on his face.
"It - it wants to snatch the master from Xiaoman. Xiaoman - doesn't agree!" Xiaoman said aggrievedly.
