Chapter 44: Battle against the Mutated Sophora japonica Tree
The moment the three people ran out, the mutant locust tree stretched out countless branches to chase them, and one of them tightly wrapped around Xiao Yaoyao's ankle.
Xiao Yaoyao's body fell forward uncontrollably. The moment her face hit the ground, the branches behind her suddenly pulled her back in the air, and in a blink of an eye she arrived in front of the mutant locust tree.
The branches and leaves of the mutant locust tree rustled constantly, making me feel happy.
Then, it opened its bloody mouth from the hollow trunk, and the surrounding branches dragged Xiao Yaoyao into its mouth.
Xiao Yaoyao struggled with all her might, and finally freed her right hand. She then swung ice cones towards the bloody mouth one after another.
Feeling the cold thing in its mouth, the mutant locust tree immediately smacked its lips, swallowed it with a "clang, clang, gulp", and shook its branches and leaves again.
Delicious! More!
Xiao Yaoyao couldn't help but complain, "Pervert!"
At this moment, a fire dragon with a tail hit the trunk of the mutant locust tree. The mutant locust tree felt pain and immediately threw Xiao Yaoyao into the grass beside it.
Xiao Yaoyao fell headfirst into the pile of bones, and her finger was cut by a sharp bone. The blood dripping on the white bones was particularly glaring.
Ignoring the pain in his hand, he gritted his teeth, stood up, turned around and joined the battle. The expression on his face could be described as "ferocious".
"A gentleman can be killed, but not humiliated. Don't go too far!"
Xiao Yaoyao's shouting made Lin Feng on the side couldn't help but look back. Seeing that the other party looked energetic and continued to concentrate on the battle.
However, Xiao Yaoyao's ice cone still had little killing power on the mutant locust tree, at most it could only tickle it.
Most of the icicles that pierced the branches were sent into the locust tree's mouth by the surrounding branches, and the mutant locust tree took advantage of the gaps to chew them with a "crunching" sound.
For the mutant locust tree, Xiao Yaoyao's ice cone can cool it down and nourish the flower buds in this hot weather.
Therefore, the mutant locust tree was particularly tolerant towards Xiao Yaoyao, and even retracted many of the branches that hit her.
Gu Wanyin and Lin Feng, who were standing by, quickly noticed the subtle atmosphere between the mutant locust tree and Xiao Yaoyao, and didn't know what to say to comfort the "injured" Xiao Yaoyao.
The consequence was that the two of them were blatantly targeted by the mutated locust tree, and it was very painful when the branches hit their bodies, but fortunately, their special abilities had a significant killing effect on the locust tree. Many branches were cut off, and several places on the tree caught fire.
The mutant locust tree had to admit that these two people were "a bit strong" and if they continued like this, he would become bald.
So he began to escape.
If it can't win, it will run away. It doesn't care about face at all. It has always been flexible and saving its life is the most important thing.
"Crack." With a loud noise, the mutant locust tree rose from the ground in front of the three people, and did not forget to stretch out its branches to roll away the meat bones hidden under the white bones.
Gu Wanyin exclaimed that it was awesome.
The three of them did not forget to pursue the victory. At this moment, the mutant locust tree was about to jump into the slowly flowing river behind it.
The moment it turned around, all three of them noticed the shining crystal core wrapped in the roots.
After looking at each other, they tacitly threw their skills at the roots of the tree, and there was a continuous "crackling" sound.
Finally, the mutant locust tree fell down by the river and breathed its last.
There was a raging fire burning at the roots of the tree. Gu Wanyin felt a little annoyed. She had been too ruthless. "I wonder if the crystal core is still there."
"Look there!"
The two looked in the direction of Xiao Yaoyao's finger, and saw a crystal core lying quietly in the fire, surrounded by a layer of transparent membrane, appearing intact.
Gu Wanyin took out a stick and quickly pulled out the crystal core. The moment the crystal core was moved out of the fire, the three of them saw the transparent film disappear instantly.
It was immediately clear that the crystal core had its own barrier, which made it convenient for them to use their full strength in the subsequent battle.
Looking at the milky white crystal core in his hand, Gu Wanyin murmured, "It's so hard to fight even without any attributes."
After thinking for a moment, Gu Wanyin guessed that among zombies, mutated animals, and mutated plants, zombies have the lowest combat effectiveness, mutated animals are stronger than zombies, and mutated plants are mostly the big brothers.
This was the first mutant plant she had encountered. Although there was no mutant animal of the same level for comparison, she firmly believed that among the three, the mutant plant was at the top of the food chain, and the abnormal animal skeletons in the grass could also serve as strong evidence.
Zombies of the same level are all younger brothers in front of mutated plants.
Although it took a lot of effort to deal with the second-level zombie last time, it was dark and it was a speed zombie, but when her fireball hit the zombie's head, it was definitely dead.
However, this mutant tree was able to withstand her countless fireball attacks. The fireballs hit it, and the burning fireballs were gradually extinguished as the branches and leaves shook.
All three of them felt that the road ahead was difficult and the journey home was long.
"How do we divide the crystal cores?"
Gu Wanyin asked, and Xiao Yaoyao waved her hand to indicate that she and Lin Feng should decide.
Lin Feng said, "You absorb it."
Although she contributed the most this time, she still wanted to give this crystal core to Lin Feng. "I used it last time, and you contributed a lot this time, so I'll give it to you."
Gu Wanyin handed the crystal core to Lin Feng, but Lin Feng didn't take it. Instead, he responded calmly, "Someone among us must upgrade as soon as possible."
Even without saying anything, Gu Wanyin understood the rest of the words, "Okay!"
After absorbing the crystal core of the mutated locust tree, Gu Wanyin discovered that the progress bar of his ability upgrade had reached the middle position between the early and middle stages, and quickly shared this news with the two.
Gu Wanyin finally added, "What do you think about us finding a way to hunt more mutant plants in the future?"
Lin Feng and Xiao Yaoyao nodded immediately, "Okay!"
They are well aware of the dangers of mutated plants, but with high risks comes high rewards.
If they want to survive longer in the crisis-ridden apocalypse, they must improve their strength as quickly as possible, and they will not choose to retreat.
The sun is shining brightly in the sky.
Without the shelter of the mutant banyan tree, the entire sports plaza was completely exposed to the scorching sun. Shen Qianxun had just finished taking a shower, and even though he was wearing a thermostatic suit, he couldn’t avoid sweating profusely.
Marshmallow was eating canned food in the air-conditioned RV nearby.
He looked up at the RV and sighed, "Ah, it deserves it. It's what I deserve."
Her Marshmallow is the strongest assistant and the most capable medical staff. She can't complain. She doesn't deserve it. She'd better just pick up the crystal cores obediently.
Killing the mutant banyan tree cost her over 3,000 crystal cores, and her flesh ached. But looking at the glittering surroundings, she felt relieved. "There should be some left."
He tugged at his sun hat and continued to pick up the crystal cores, muttering to himself, "If I keep going like this, I'll be tanned black sooner or later. I have to do a full body skincare routine at night."
Shen Qianxun also discovered the crystal core's "boundary" while picking up the crystal core. In the burning small fire, the transparent film around it firmly protected the crystal core.
It was not until nightfall that Shen Qianxun returned to the RV, taking a bath while counting the crystal cores.
"Net profit: 1000+ Level 1 Crystal Cores, plus one Level 3 Crystal Core."
"Oh, there's also a stone. Not bad!"
He stared at the "hornet's nest" rock in his hand for a long time, then raised his chin and said, "It looks like a burning meteorite."
She had seen an introduction to meteorites on the science and technology channel, and the one in her hand really looked like one.
He put the meteorite back into the space, leaned against the edge of the barrel, and a thousand thoughts ran through his mind.
The 19th day of the apocalypse.
Shen Qianxun came to Huadu Middle School, a large middle school with a combined junior high and high school, with a population of 6,000+.
However, when he walked to the school gate, Shen Qianxun was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him, “Am I entering the Pansi Cave?”
