The wild boar writhed in pain, and blood gushed from its wounds, staining its body and the ground red.
But the mutated tree did not stop attacking; it continued to absorb the wild boar's blood and life force through its vines.
Jiang Wu and the other two watched this scene quietly from the side, feeling a little shocked.
Seeing such a strange tree hunting and "eating" its prey is truly eerie.
After a while, the wild boar stopped struggling; its body had become shriveled, and all signs of life had vanished.
But the vines still entwined around it.
The wild boar's body also became increasingly shriveled.
It's like all the meat inside has disappeared, leaving only the pig skin and bones.
What intrigued Jiang Wu was how this tree could absorb pork.
Finally, the mutated tree's vines released the wild boar's emaciated carcass, leaving it carelessly discarded to the side.
The blood-stained vines shimmered with an eerie light in the sunlight, as if demonstrating their power to everything around them.
Jiang Wu looked closely at the main trunk of the giant tree. What exactly was there?
Could it attract wild boars to run there regardless of everything?
Upon closer inspection, Jiang Wu finally discovered more than a dozen fist-sized fruits on several thick vines beside the main trunk.
These fruits are the same color as the tree bark; if you don't look closely, they look like tree burls growing on vines.
Jiang Wu was somewhat interested in these fruits.
Commander Xiao Huang to descend from a safe area nearby, and then Jiang Wu drew his Level 3 Alligator Turtle Battle Blade and leaped down from a height of tens of meters.
They rushed toward that eerie giant tree.
Jiang Wu was initially worried that the vines would come and swarm him.
As a result, he overestimated the giant tree's strength.
With his speed, the giant tree's vines didn't have time to react before Jiang Wu had already picked two fruits and left the giant tree's attack range.
Ye Qingyu, who was on the giant bird, was stunned by Jiang Wu's speed.
She thought she was fast, but found that Jiang Wu was much faster!
When Jiang Wu jumped onto Xiao Huang's back again.
Ye Qingyu asked in surprise, "Chief Jiang, your speed... could it be that you have already reached the third level?"
Jiang Wu examined the fruit in his hand and casually remarked, "Hmm, a level three evolver."
These two fruits look somewhat like custard apples from before the apocalypse.
It's just that the color is different.
The cut surface from which it was removed was still oozing a milky yellow sap, which smelled particularly fragrant.
Jiang Wu dipped some of the sauce in his mouth and tasted it. It was sweet and had a milky flavor. It tasted amazing!
Ye Qingyu looked at Jiang Wu as if he were a rare treasure.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Chief Jiang, could I collect some of your dandruff, hair, and blood for testing?"
Jiang Wu was taken aback, glanced at Ye Qingyu, and decisively refused, saying, "I don't like being a guinea pig, so don't ask me that question."
This girl is dreaming too much!
After confirming that the fruit in his hand was edible, Jiang Wu handed one of the fruits to Ye Qingyu and said, "I'm giving this to you to study."
He couldn't wait to peel the remaining one and share it with Su Ziyu.
Even the juice that flows out is so delicious, let alone the fruit inside!
Moreover, I haven't eaten fruit for over a year, and I really miss it!
After chewing the fruit pulp a few times, Jiang Wu was extremely satisfied.
Sure enough, this fruit tastes amazing!
It tastes better than any fruit Jiang Wu had ever eaten before the apocalypse!
He couldn't describe the taste; it was just like the taste of evolved beast meat.
His eyes lit up as he looked at the roots of the giant tree.
There are at least a dozen or so of these fruits on the vines there!
Ye Qingrou glanced regretfully at Jiang Wu's body, then took out a small box from her backpack and solemnly placed the fruit inside.
Jiang Wu, still feeling unsatisfied, jumped down again and rushed towards the tree.
This time, the giant tree seemed to have been prepared, directly wrapping up all the vines and covering Jiang Wu.
Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, and without thinking, he took out his knife and slashed.
The tough vines that could originally trap the evolved wild boar were as easy as cucumbers when faced with the Level 3 Crocodile Turtle Battle Blade, and were all cut in two by Jiang Wu with a single stroke.
And these severed vines actually oozed a blood-like sap!
In just over ten seconds, Jiang Wu severed at least several hundred vines, both thick and thin.
Some vines were even broken into countless pieces.
Suddenly, the giant tree seemed to be stunned, and all the vines stopped moving.
It finally realized that it was completely outmatched by the intruding creature.
The next second, all the vines lay flat on the ground, as if resigned to their fate.
Seeing this, Jiang Wu became curious and kicked a vine next to him.
As a result, the vine not only didn't suddenly sprout, but instead moved to the side.
Jiang Wu was delighted.
This tree has surrendered.
He carried the knife and walked towards the location of two of the fruits.
Along the way, all the vines in front of us made way for us.
Jiang Wu was surprised that the giant tree was so sensible; after picking two more fruits, it returned to the bird's back.
Seeing that it was so sensible, Jiang Wu did not kill it and took all the fruit.
As he watched the broken vines continuously oozing red sap, a name suddenly popped into Jiang Wu's mind: Blood Vine Tree.
On the bird's back, the two women watched quietly.
After Jiang Wu came up, Su Ziyu smiled and said, "Brother Wu, this tree is so interesting. Even some animals don't know how to surrender, but this tree actually surrenders."
