Chapter 72: Beating up the Mutated Willow
This was the first time Shen Qianxun associated extremely ugly with a willow tree, and saying that it had a strange appearance was a compliment.
“So ugly.”
Wen Yuan spoke first.
Most willow trees have crooked necks, but the one in front of them was crooked in an ugly way.
The enchanting and twisting tree trunk shook violently after seeing them, and the upward arched trunk and branches scattered in the wind made it look like a wretched villain who had succeeded in his evil plan and was covering his mouth with his hands and laughing.
Behind me, there was a faint sound of mopping the floor, which gradually got closer from far away.
Shen Qianxun winked at Wen Yuan, and Wen Yuan extended a fireball toward a shadowy area, while Shen Qianxun extended a thunderball toward the other side.
With a "bang" and the "sizzling" sound of burning flames, small pieces of earth flew onto the two men. It was also here that the younger brother who had been hiding behind them and preparing for a sneak attack revealed his true identity.
The other party was a mutated thorny vine with a circle of two-centimeter-long thorns on its branches. Once entangled, the thorns could penetrate deep into the bones and even bleed flesh and blood.
The thunder ball thrown by Shen Qianxun injured most of its roots, and Wen Yuan's fireball spread on its branches. The opponent was in great pain now and kept whipping the vines on the ground.
Soon, a moist breeze blew by, and the surrounding weeds frantically absorbed the water droplets that fell on the ground. The branches that were originally on fire were extinguished in an instant. Shen Qianxun felt the direction of the wind, which came from the mutant willow tree opposite.
The mutant willow tree was on the verge of a rage. The little brother opposite it had been promoted to level three, but it never expected to be seriously injured so easily. As the big brother, it felt ashamed, and countless vines attacked Shen Qianxun and the others.
The two cooperated well, Wen Yuan continued to besiege the mutant thorn vines with fireballs, and Shen Qianxun used space to cut the mutant willow trees.
However, the swung space blade was blown back by a strong wind. Shen Qianxun narrowly avoided it with Marshmallow. Behind him, a big tree fell down with a rustling sound of leaves.
Looking at the big tree with a smooth cut surface behind him, Wen Yuan threw a fireball and came to Shen Qianxun, "I'll try."
However, the thrown fireball was still blocked back, and so was the thunderball that Shen Qianxun made up for, but it hit the mutated thorn vines of the younger brother behind him.
"Crackling", lying on the ground, twitching.
The mutated willow tree in front shook its trunk, and more branches attacked the two of them, even sparing the marshmallow beside them.
Shen Qianxun dodged while holding Marshmallow, and found the right moment to throw the thunder ball into the roots of the mutant thorn vine.
With a loud "bang", countless clods of earth were blown up, and the mutant thorn vine was hung on a big tree and stopped moving.
Their worries were temporarily relieved, and Shen Qianxun and the others focused on fighting the mutant willow tree.
With the amplification blessing of Marshmallow, her superpowers are close to the middle level of the third level. Shen Qianxun confirmed that the level of the mutant willow tree in front of her is at least the middle level of the third level, and it also has superpower attributes, and it really has the ability to laugh rampantly.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the mutant willow tree was concentrating on dealing with Shen Qianxun, Wen Yuan's fireball successfully hit its trunk.
The roots of the tree were blocked by countless branches, and with the help of a transparent wall, the two men's attacks could not get close at all.
"Ho ho ho."
The dangerous aura kept coming, Shen Qianxun had a thunder ball in one hand and a space blade in the other, replenishing the crystal cores enough, and his supernatural power did not stop, and the branches of the mutant willow tree gradually accumulated at his feet.
The two men attacked with all their might, but many branches still hit them, leaving bloody marks.
But the two did not hesitate at all and continued to focus on fighting, while Marshmallow silently cast healing light balls.
Smelling the scent of blood in the air, the mutant willow tree became extremely excited. With a "gulp" sound, its branches instantly expanded to twice their original thickness.
One of the branches sneaked around the two of them and headed towards the root of the mutated thorn vine.
The hard branches penetrated straight into the roots of the mutated thorn vine, and a third-level crystal core was dug out. The branches trembled with excitement and quickly retreated.
"Where did this thief come from!"
Wen Yuan stepped heavily on the branch of the mutant willow tree, and Shen Qianxun swung the space blade to cut the branch. The other party's small movements just now had already been seen by both of them.
Shen Qianxun quickly stepped back, bent down to pick up the crystal core on the ground, put it into the space, and said to the furious mutant willow tree, "Thank you." At least it saved them the time of digging for crystal cores.
After many fights, Shen Qianxun guessed that the opponent's ability was wind + water.
He quickly thought of something, "Wen Yuan, throw the fireball at it as hard as you can."
Wen Yuan understood what he meant. Although some fireballs were bounced back, many of them still hit the branches of the willow tree.
Following the shaking of the willow branches, several thunder balls followed one after another. The moment the thunder balls touched the branches, countless purple lightning bolts spread throughout the willow tree. The mutant willow tree trembled all over, and its branches shook violently, smashing to the ground like mad.
The ground crackled, dust and grass flew up into the air, and deep grooves were smashed into the ground.
Shen Qianxun swung out the space blade, cutting the mutant willow tree in half. Countless branches instantly lost their support and fell to the ground.
Then, several thunderballs and fireballs flew over thousands of branches and wind walls and finally reached the roots of the tree.
A big hole was smashed at the root of the tree, and flames were burning. The mutant willow tree was still struggling in death, refusing to release a drop of water, and trying to put out the fire by shaking its branches constantly.
However, everything was in vain. More thunder balls and fire balls hit its roots, and finally the whole willow tree was surrounded and engulfed by flames.
The two men sat on the ground, breathing heavily, with a layer of white crystal core powder behind them.
"Let's move away, it's too hot."
Shen Qianxun asked Wen Yuan to step back, and only Marshmallow was lying in front of the two of them, staring at the fire in front of them with great interest.
Half an hour later, the big flame went out and the two men kicked the other small fires to the open space on the side.
Shen Qianxun took out a shovel, and the two of them dug at the roots of the tree.
Soon, he sensed the unique collision of metal and glass, "It seems there is more than one!" Shen Qianxun exclaimed with joy.
“I feel it here, too.”
The two men threw away their shovels and squatted on the ground, digging.
"Chihiro, look!" Wen Yuan picked up a pile of soil with a big smile on her face.
Shen Qianxun smiled, “I have one too!”
Countless crystal cores were mixed in the loose soil, many of which were larger than melon seeds.
"So many secondary crystal cores!"
Wen Yuan was so excited that she was incoherent. This was the second time she had seen so many secondary crystal cores. The first time was given to her by Shen Qianxun, and this time they dug them together.
"Chihiro, we're rich."
"Yeah." Shen Qianxun's expression was normal, but Wen Yuan was still immersed in the joy of the harvest. "I never expected that there would be so many high-level crystal cores~"
"Yeah, you'll get used to it."
Shen Qianxun stood up, dug out all the crystal cores in the hole, and then squatted on the ground and kept digging.
"Wen Yuan, stop laughing first, come and see if there are any level three ones." Even Cotton Candy was helping to pick them out.
Wen Yuan put down the sand in his hand and nodded frantically, "Here I come." The smile on his face did not diminish at all.
