Chapter 215 Crash
Under the guidance of the bamboo slips, the people below made a few simple things that resembled Molotov cocktails, but they were of no use to any alien plants of slightly higher rank.
Bamboo Slip only wanted to cause some disruption and see if he could seize the opportunity to eradicate these alien plants one by one. Even if he didn't care about anything else, the crystal cores inside these alien plants would be a considerable fortune.
After all, wood-type crystal cores are extremely useful; once purified, they can even be used as materials for alchemy.
Even the entire healing device is powered by wood-type crystal cores. One wood-type crystal core of the same grade is equivalent to five to twenty other crystal cores.
The higher the level, the greater the exchange rate difference.
The specially made Molotov cocktail was thrown over, and the flames looked quite fierce at first, but after a few flicks and pats of the willow branches, the flames gradually went out.
But it doesn't matter, we'll make them panic. In just a short while, under the command of the bamboo slip, the attacks came one after another.
They no longer attacked in large groups, but focused on two or three willow trees. Only a few people were scattered to block the attacks from the other willow trees.
In just a minute or two, they uprooted three willow trees. The trunks of the willow trees were cut in half and then scorched by their supernatural flames.
It emitted a hissing sound, like a scream. Two willow trees died instantly, and the last one tried to self-destruct. Still the spirit form of the bamboo slip, a pangolin lashed out with its tail, snapping off the attached trunk.
The pangolin moved quickly, carrying the crystal core back. It didn't allow the tree to regrow as if it possessed a wound-healing magic.
Bamboo Slip ordered a retreat, but many people were still injured by the willow tree's frenzied retaliation. Bamboo Slip used his spiritual body to block these injured people.
They quickly led their men out of the willow tree's attack range, thinking they could recover and prepare for the next attack, but who knew that just as they were about to rest,
The ground trembled, and then one by one, roots as thick as a person's waist emerged from the soil.
Before these people could react, the attack came. The seriously injured person was pierced through the chest by the roots, and then his flesh and blood were sucked away.
The attack was too fast; no one had time to react and attempt a rescue. Instead, the willow trees, seeing the bloodshed, became even more frenzied.
The brown tree roots, with their rough texture, looked much stronger than the frail branches. They would suddenly emerge from the ground, only to retract immediately if they missed their target.
As more and more roots reached out, Bai, accompanied by a halting voice, said, "Stay, stay, come."
His unusually hoarse voice rang in everyone's ears.
All the fighters shuddered, after all, to be able to achieve this level, this one must at least have reached the seventh rank.
The seventh-tier alien plants are even more troublesome than the seventh-tier alien beasts, since they are difficult to evolve, so the higher their evolution level, the stronger their combat power.
Just as everyone was feeling uneasy.
Then a particularly tall and thick willow tree appeared before everyone at a relatively slow pace.
However, the leaves were a different tender green from the surroundings, with veins tinged with red, and the branches were much thinner, making it look beautiful but carrying a deadly danger.
Bamboo Slip frowned. This tree must be the high-level exotic plant that rules this place. The only way to kill it is to extract its core.
Alternatively, they could continuously cut off the roots and branches to deplete the energy in the opponent's crystal core.
Obviously, either method comes at a price.
However, before they could launch an attack, the willow tree twitched its branches a few times and then coiled upwards toward the flying spiritual entity.
Three branches formed an encircling shape and swept towards Gu Qing and the others.
The speed and force were so great that no one above or below could react in time. Lou Xiaoyu, being of a higher level, was the first to react, but the one sitting beneath him was not his own spiritual body.
The reaction was a beat slower in terms of control. Lou Xiaoyu was surrounded by water vapor and cut a branch of the willow tree like a sharp blade.
At this moment, the mermaid that had been floating behind Lou Xiaoyu swooped down. Then, its sharp nails severed another branch that it had pulled at it.
As the third branch approached Gu Qing, a golden shield blocked its way. However, the branch was too strong and crashed into the shield, which then struck Lou Xiaoyu and Gu Qing.
The falcon beneath her tumbled away, and Lou Xiaoyu held her in his arms. Gu Qing clung to him like an octopus, terrified of freefalling.
