The main problem is that these superpowered groups are hitting vital areas, and there are so many of them, all relentlessly targeting the same spot, that it quickly becomes dizzy and disoriented.
But thanks to its sensitivity to living flesh, it was very clear about its target, so it waved its hand and unleashed several bursts of supernatural power, all aimed at the person it was sensitive to...
Zhang Lan, who was fighting a fierce battle with the demon tree on another battlefield, was suddenly struck in the back. She let out a miserable cry and her vision went black. She almost collapsed to the ground.
"Ah, what's going on? Why did that zombie suddenly attack Zhang Lan?" Zhang Gang roared and questioned upon seeing this.
"Who knows the answer to this?" Qin Hao glanced at him helplessly and said, "This demonic tree only attacks you. Haven't you ever thought of asking it?"
The demonic tree remained unchanged, only attacking Zhang Lan and Zhang Gang. When Qin Hao attacked it, it simply retreated. Therefore, Qin Hao found dealing with it rather easy.
Zhang Gang had injured his back during the first attack by the demonic tree. Although he had recovered considerably by the second battle thanks to the powerful regenerative abilities of a superhuman, he was now injured again. Already feeling frustrated, he immediately exploded upon hearing Qin Hao's words, yelling, "How should I know? What kind of boyfriend are you? Your girlfriend is fighting here, and you're helping another girl over there..."
Before he could finish speaking, a branch from the demonic tree struck his cheek hard. His words came to an abrupt halt, and he was thrown into the air.
"Brother..." Zhang Lan exclaimed in surprise, and quickly launched a series of attacks on the demon tree, fearing that the demon tree would chase after Zhang Gang again.
After hearing Zhang Gang's words, Qin Hao realized that his actions might have caused his girlfriend to misunderstand, so he quickly said, "Zhang Lan, I only went to rescue you because I saw that you had escaped and Li Nian was in a life-or-death situation. Please don't misunderstand."
Zhang Lan: "Stop talking, dealing with the demon tree is the priority."
Hearing her say that, Qin Hao thought that she, being "magnanimous," wouldn't hold a grudge like Zhang Gang did, so he felt a little relieved and began to cooperate with Zhang Lan to attack the demon tree.
But suddenly the branches of the demon tree flew back with a whoosh and disappeared in a few moments.
Meanwhile, on the other battlefield, someone cheered with delight: "The zombies are finished! Great, those things are finally gone!"
Zhang Lan was horrified: What's going on? The zombies they're talking about can't possibly be the zombie king!
She and Qin Hao turned their heads and saw that the zombie that had clearly been the leader of the horde was lying on the ground, with a large hole ripped out of its dantian. The zombie core that should have been inside that hole was now shining brightly in Chu Nian's hand.
Zhang Lan stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, unable to believe her eyes: How could this be? In her previous life, the zombie king who was a sensation and a headache for countless superpowered individuals had just... died at Li Nian's hands?
"Huh, what's this?" Everyone heard Chu Nian say in surprise, and they saw her pick up a crystal tree branch the size of a little finger from next to the fallen zombie.
Zhang Lan's eyes lit up immediately: she had seen this before her rebirth; it was the thing that allowed the Zombie King to control the Demon Tree, and it was said to be half of the Demon Tree's root.
Trees are different from beasts and humans. Mutated monsters, zombies, and human superhumans all concentrate their energy and life force in their superhuman crystal cores. But the demon tree concentrates its energy in its superhuman crystal core, while its life force resides entirely in its roots.
Taking away the demon tree's supernatural crystal core only restored it to its original, ordinary form; but taking away its roots and refining them completely destroyed the demon tree.
The zombie king took half of its roots, but also successfully made it obey.
Chu Nian would never say that she had already tricked the demon tree and taken away the other half of its roots when she came last night, otherwise how could the demon tree be so obedient!
She pretended not to recognize the crystal tree root in her hand, gesturing in front of her chest: "It looks pretty good, it would make a nice crystal pendant."
Zhang Lan stepped forward and extended her hand, saying, "Let me see."
Chu Nian stuffed the tree root into her pocket and said, "No, I picked it up."
Zhang Lan nearly died of anger, saying, "I just want to see what that thing is."
Chu Nian said with a serious face, "It's just a crystal pendant, what's so special about it?"
Zhang Lan: "That fell from the zombie that controls the zombie horde. What would it want a crystal pendant for? Let me see it, and I'll help you figure it out." She secretly thought about getting a real crystal and carving a tree branch pendant in the same style to replace it. Crystals are plentiful in jewelry stores, and she could take whatever she wanted now.
Chu Nian replied, "No need, I can figure it out myself."
Qin Hao walked over and laughed, "Alright Zhang Lan, don't be curious about what Niannian found. By the way, Niannian, this zombie was so powerful, how did you kill it?"
Chu Nian laughed and said, "How else can we kill it? Luckily, I was worried that a high-level zombie would target me, so I prepared a bunch of level 7 energy balls in advance. When this zombie attacked me, I just threw them as much as I could. Although one level 7 energy ball can only do so much damage, if more than twenty energy balls hit the same spot on its body, it will be in for a lot of trouble."
Everyone had noticed the large hole in the zombie's forehead earlier, and they couldn't help but chuckle at her words. At this moment, no one thought about how difficult it would be to hit such a powerful zombie, which wasn't immobilized, in the same spot, especially its vital forehead.
Xiao Li said, "In that case, we should thank Deputy Captain Qin. It's all thanks to him for preparing so many superpowered groups for Sister Nian in advance."
"Yes, yes, that's right!" everyone echoed.
Qin Hao said in surprise, "Uh, Xiao Li, what nonsense are you talking about? I didn't give Niannian the Level 7 Ability Group."
Xiao Li said, "Alright, Deputy Captain Qin, only you and Captain Zhang have reached level seven in our team. If it wasn't you who gave it to us, then why would it be Captain Zhang?"
Qin Hao glanced at Zhang Lan and saw that her expression was not good, so he knew she had misunderstood. He quickly opened his mouth to explain, but Xiao Li continued, "Alright, Deputy Captain Qin, you mentioned after you broke through to level seven that you wanted to thank Sister Nian. You made several level seven ability teams for her to protect herself, which we all understand. I also made a lot of level six ability teams for her! I haven't reached level seven yet, but if I had, I would have made a bunch of level seven ability teams for her to protect herself long ago."
Many of the superpowered individuals nodded in agreement. There were quite a few in the team, like Xiao Li, who had voluntarily made self-defense equipment for Chu Nian, so no one thought anything of it. After all, it was thanks to Chu Nian that they were able to improve or break through, so wanting to give her something to express their gratitude was normal.
