Su Rui grabbed Zhang Yulong by the collar and dragged him back to Yan Xun's side.
It can’t be such a coincidence, right?
As darkness fell, the light on the sacred tree became more and more obvious.
Seeing such a magical scene, Han Shuxin suddenly thought of a plot in the book.
One year after the end of the world, a king-level mutant sacred tree that can glow at night appeared in the south of Kyoto Base. Some people said,
This king-level plant is a ray of hope given by God to mankind, and is a "sacred tree."
In order to avoid its edge, the plants in the mortal world submitted to it and thus not a single blade of grass grew within a radius of one hundred miles.
There is also a saying that this king-level plant can help people with predestined relationships gain earth-related supernatural powers.
Han Shuxin looked at the increasingly bright sacred tree in front of her, and she felt that she was really fragrant.
This is the sacred tree!
When Village Chief Zhao saw that the sacred tree was about to wake up, fanaticism and relief flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Yan Xun and the other three with disdain. Just wait, in just five minutes, the sacred tree will wake up. By then, none of these four people will be able to escape!
Su Rui did not miss the excitement and contempt in Village Chief Zhao's eyes. With a wave of his hand, two flying knives flew out at the same time, one cutting Village Chief Zhao's wrist and the other cutting his ankle.
Blood spurted from the artery. Village Chief Zhao was stunned for a moment before he felt the pain. He screamed, "Ah, help!"
Xiufen looked at Village Chief Zhao screaming, and finally some emotion appeared in her cold eyes. Her voice drifted over softly.
"Don't you want to know why the people here all awaken earth-type abilities?"
“Because of the sacred tree!”
Han Shuxin spoke first. She had read this paragraph carefully when she was reading the book.
The sacred tree was just an ordinary mutant plant at the beginning.
One day, a wood-type mutant died beside it, and its power was absorbed by it.
Gradually, the mutant plants began to think about consuming the superpowers.
It can judge a person's physical attributes through his or her "qi".
People with the wood attribute can nourish its body, and it happily absorbs all of the people with the wood attribute as nutrients.
People with metal and fire attributes make it irritated, so it kills all people with fire attributes and hands them over to its worshippers to deal with.
Its worshippers are those with earth attributes. Those with strong earth attributes can stimulate earth-related abilities under the promotion of the fruits of mutant plants.
This is why the village is full of people with earth-type abilities.
Xiufen looked at Han Shuxin with appreciation and said, "Little sister is very smart, it's because of the sacred tree."
Xiufen's expression was strange, like a mixture of nostalgia and anger.
"The sacred tree needs wood-type mutants as nutrients, and it hates metal and fire-type mutants. So, today, you will be dead just like those passersby in the past!"
As Xiufen finished speaking, the sacred tree began to move.
The branches moved without wind, and at the same time, glowing roots emerged from the ground and rushed towards Yan Xun and the others.
Han Shuxin had long been wary of the sacred tree's every move, and immediately activated the defensive barrier, surrounding the four people within the barrier.
The sacred tree kept changing its position to attack the barrier, but unfortunately, its roots hit the barrier like hitting a ball of cotton.
Xiufen saw this scene and smiled playfully.
She sat casually beside Village Chief Zhao, caressing his pale face lovingly, and murmured, "It's finally over!"
Over there, the attacks of the sacred tree were ineffective against Yan Xun and his three companions, but the attacks of Yan Xun and his companions could penetrate the barrier and hit the sacred tree accurately.
Su Rui was in the middle stage of the fourth level. The flying knife he condensed could only cut off the small branches of the sacred tree.
Han Shuxin's mutated fireball also had little effect on the sacred tree.
Only Yan Xun's late level five vines can cut through the roots of the sacred tree.
"Little Ruirui, let's cooperate and attack a fixed point on the sacred tree."
Hearing Han Shuxin's suggestion, Su Rui nodded and the flying knife attacked the same point of the sacred tree in a loop.
Han Shuxin's fireball immediately landed on the point where the flying knife attacked.
Gradually, with the cooperation of the two, a hole was opened in the bark of the sacred tree.
The roots of the sacred tree were also shaved bare by Yan Xun's vines. Gradually, the sacred tree stopped attacking rashly, and the roots retreated into the ground one after another.
Yan Xun did not give it a chance to retreat. He penetrated the ground with his spiritual power and began to search inch by inch.
Finally, a group of transparent roots hugging each other were found fifteen meters underground.
Found it!
Yan Xun raised his eyebrows and released a vine that was about the same thickness as the root of the sacred tree, which drilled into the ground.
The sacred tree felt the invasion of the strange power, and its branches swayed wildly. Most of its roots gathered together to block the invasion of the strange energy.
Another part of the rhizome rushed out of the ground and attacked Han Shuxin's barrier crazily.
Under the crazy attack of the roots, the barrier gradually began to shrink, from the initial 20 square meters to 19 or 18 square meters.
"Brother, the barrier is shrinking!"
Han Shuxin hadn't yet fully mastered the barrier and didn't know how to provide it with energy, so he was anxious.
"It's almost there, don't panic!"
Yan Xun accelerated the energy transmission, and the vines fought fiercely with the roots of the sacred tree underground.
“Found it!”
As Yan Xun finished speaking, the attack of the sacred tree became almost crazy, and the barrier quickly shrank.
Han Shuxin and Su Rui looked at each other, and both of them raised their powers to the maximum, attacking the wound on the tree trunk.
After a burst of fire, the sacred tree stopped moving and the light of its leaves dimmed instantly.
The surroundings returned to darkness, and only a fist-sized crystal core in Yan Xun's hand was still glowing.
"Is this the crystal core of the sacred tree?"
Han Shuxin moved closer to observe carefully. The crystal core looked more like a glowing stone.
"You killed the sacred tree, you devils, I curse you..."
Village Chief Zhao sat up from the ground as if he had a last burst of energy, pointing at Yan Xun and the other three, his eyes wide open.
With a "bang", a bullet penetrated the skull of Village Chief Zhao. Zhang Yulong curled his lips in disgust.
"I didn't put in any effort to deal with the sacred tree, so killing you is a piece of cake!"
When the villagers saw the village plunged into darkness, they knew that Yan Xun and his four companions had killed the sacred tree. They were all outraged and mustered up the courage to surround the central villa.
"You killed the sacred tree, you deserve to die!"
They are the people chosen by the sacred tree. If the sacred tree does not die, it will bear a fruit every month. After eating the fruit, they can be promoted to superpowers.
It's all their fault. They blocked their path to becoming superpowers.
Kill them, kill them!
Everyone became more and more fearful and gradually narrowed the encirclement, approaching Yan Xun and his companions.
Yan Xun, Han Shuxin, and Su Rui had just fought a battle with the sacred tree and needed to rest.
Zhang Yulong took up the heavy burden and fired two shots, killing the two leaders who incited the masses.
The two men fell straight to the ground. When the villagers saw that Zhang Yulong had really shot and killed someone, they all stopped.
"Don't be afraid of them. How many bullets can a pistol have?"
"Yes, we must kill them to pay the price for the sacred tree!"
