It was night, there was no illumination, the surrounding was bustling and silent, and it was so quiet that it seemed to fall into a deep sleep. Gu Pinyao was sleeping alone in one room, and the rest of the rooms and the living room were sleeping with the men in the team, and Gu Pinyao was protected in the center in a ring and surrounded by him, which looked very safe, but everyone knew that tonight would not be so simple.

At this moment, Gu Pinyao's head was resting lightly on the pillow, Miaoman's figure was lying on his side, and the moonlight was sprinkled on the floor of the room, with a bit of gloom in the blur. Perhaps misled by the sound of everyone's slow and regular breathing, the moonlight gradually rose from the ground, as if it was tangible, and slowly enveloped Gu Pinyao's body. The white soft substance is like a biological soft film that will wrap Gu Pinyao from his feet upwards, and the looming flowing luster looks fairy, but the bursts of cold air emitted from it directly wrapped a layer of hoarfrost on Gu Pinyao's body, which shows his bad intentions.

Gu Pinyao, who was sleeping, was motionless like that, and the cold frost did not wake her up from her sleep. The same situation happened to the people in the other rooms, but unlike Gu Pinyao, they just fell asleep deeply, while Gu Pinyao was carried out of the room by that mysterious force.

I saw that in the deep night, Gu Pinyao's body was suspended in the air, dragged out by the white substance, and at this moment, the people in the village walked out of their homes one after another, holding torches, looking at them expressionlessly, their eyes focused on piety, as if they were carrying out some kind of ancient ritual. The light of the fire shone on their faces, capturing the insensitivity of their hearts, and there was a certain fanaticism and obsession in their eyes, completely disregarding the safety of their own compatriots in the white substance. Even children's eyes are accustomed to colors, as if this kind of thing has been seen too much, and it is commonplace.

The white substance finally dragged Gu Pinyao to the side of a dry giant tree, which was dozens of meters high and had a trunk volume of nearly 1,000 cubic meters, as if it had been drilled out of thin air, and suddenly appeared in the central square next to the wooden hut. Feeling Dao Gu Pin Yao's approach, it was as if the dead giant tree suddenly moved. Huge branches waved in the air, and white mist continued to spread outward. And the expressions of the villagers who inhaled the white mist into their bodies became even more obsessed, and they looked like they were fluttering immortals. But they don't know that what they think is a gift is actually devouring their life force. The time seems to be ripe. A slender branch came out of the heart of the tree and struck straight at Gu Pinyao, obviously a hard branch, but it was as soft as a vine, and the spiral rolled Gu Pinyao in the middle. Drag towards the center of the tree. Villagers surrounded the giant tree with torches. The fanaticism under the eyes is even stronger.

"Eat her. Eat her, eat her ......"

The people of the village unconsciously read out their hearts, like the sacrifice of a pagan with a living person. The low voice swept away into the distance with reverence, startling everyone in the room to immediately get up and go to the living room to meet.

"Boss, the Gu family's sister has been arrested, what should we do now?"

The group of people in the square were already obsessed with nothing else, and they didn't notice that Yuan Qingfeng and the others had woken up, so the group gathered in the living room to discuss how to act.

At this time, Yuan Qingfeng said coldly, "The mutated tree in the middle of the square should be the source of this village's weirdness, the people of the whole village seem to be the food that it has kept in captivity, but what it really likes to eat is still a young woman." ”

Sure enough, everyone took a look at it, and among the villagers on the other side of the square, there were all the old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were many young and middle-aged men, but there was only a shortage of young girls, so they guessed that those girls were probably eaten by the mutant tree. As for the others, the surface of the mutant tree is very picky, just slowly devouring the life force in their bodies.

Although everyone was already on guard in their hearts, they didn't expect the reason for the strangeness of the village to be like this, and they were a little stunned for a while, so Xiao Xu, who was hanging, said, "Hey, this mutant tree has become a refinement, not simply focusing on the present, but pursuing long-term sustainable development, what a good strategy." Captive humans are used as storage food, and they can also lure/lure other people into the village, it's terrible, Pinyao won't have an accident if he is swept into the heart of the tree. ”

Looking out, Yuan Qingfeng's eyes froze, and said, "Even if that group of people has special abilities, their strength is too weak, and our only threat is that mutant tree, let's go to the square first and answer for Miss Gu." ”

Hearing his words, everyone nodded and followed, and at this moment, Gu Pinyao had already come to the heart of the mutant tree.

It was pitch black all around, and Gu Pinyao's eyes were closed at the moment, and she didn't even open her divine sense, for fear of disturbing this strange mutant tree and ruining her plans. The branches tied to his body slowly dragged Gu Pinyao down, faintly with a sense of suffocation, which reminded Gu Pinyao of the battle with the Tree of Life before he was caught in the rift of time and space, and his face instantly turned bad. In less than a few tens of seconds, Gu Pinyao had already been taken to the depths of the heart of the tree. The temperature in the depths of the tree at this time had dropped below zero, and the breath exhaled from Gu Pinyao's mouth liquefied into small water droplets to form white gas, as if it was winter. And as soon as Gu Pinyao approached, the red light directly turned into a thin straw and drilled into her body, and the bright red blood passed through the transparent straw and transferred to the center of the red light, as time passed, the red light became more and more abundant, but Gu Pinyao's face gradually turned pale, and his appearance was not dry, but it was already sick.

It seems that he has eaten something good, and the red light can hardly suppress his desire to eat, so he directly covers Gu Pinyao in the red light, wanting to devour it all. That red light is actually the origin energy of the mutant tree, it was already hundreds of years old before the end of the world, and after the end of the world, it directly gave birth to its own consciousness, and also had a kind of ability that can bewitch people's hearts. Unlike those short-sighted mutant plants, the consciousness of the giant tree is advanced, it knows that the human race within its range is limited, and once it eats it all, it can only eat zombies to replenish energy, which is what it never wants, just like being spoiled by the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and the coarse tea and light rice can't be eaten at all. Therefore, it directly manipulates the human beings within its territory to build a lake, forming a 'paradise' that escapes from the world, captive this group of humans, and let them reproduce freely in the village, and it eats the vitality of this group of humans, because it is an equal extraction, which will not cause their death, and gives full play to the strategic awareness of sustainable development.

However, in front of a human being, the mutant tree can't control itself at all. Young Terran women, especially virgins, with the sweetness of a girl and the strength of a supernatural person, are really a great nourishment, and it is a completely fatal temptation/temptation to it. Every once in a while, it unleashes an ability to attract people from the surrounding lands into its territory, and then uses the peace and quiet of the village to attract outsiders. The women will eat it, while the men will devour a part of the life force and throw it to the villagers for them to eat when they are half-dead. After all, humans are omnivores. It's also not good to eat vegetables for a long time. It is also beneficial to keep the reserve food well, so the two sides survived in this way.

Originally, it didn't take the initiative to attract Gu Pinyao and the others into its territory this time, but it was accidentally bumped in by them and threw itself into the net. Don't be in vain. So it took advantage of the darkness of the night to do it. But obviously. This time, it overestimated itself, and felt that the strength of the adepts in this team was lower than its own, so it had no worries. But he didn't know that someone in the team was hiding his abilities, so this time it ate itself badly.

Seeing that Gu Pinyao, who was pale in the center of the red light, opened his eyes suddenly, mobilizing the chaotic power in his body to devour the red light. Sensing that something was wrong, the mutant tree subconsciously let go of Gu Pinyao, protected the most central place of himself, and then released a tangible spiritual power blade and vigorously pumped towards the woman in the center of the tree. Turning around to dodge the oncoming attack with cold light, Gu Pinyao pinched his hand directly, and countless light blades from his fingertips hit the sealed circular substance, marking deep marks that made the mutant tree twitch involuntarily in pain.

The anger in his heart was blazing, and he found that this time he had gnawed hard bones, and instead of stopping, the mutant tree became more and more courageous. This is in its body, how can it tolerate the wanton attack of humans? So it moved, and directly differentiated a stream of energy from the center of the red light, and this energy condensed into a small red snake with green eyes, and its thin and long tongue spit out from time to time, staring at Gu Pinyao, as if looking for the best time to attack her.

When Gu Pinyao saw this, his brows furrowed slightly. In the memory of the original owner, the interstellar textbook mentions that during the apocalyptic Earth period, after the level of the ability has been increased to a certain extent, the ability can be formed into an animal mimicry to help the ability to maximize its power. And there is only one kind of mimicry, which is based on the condensation of the ability itself, the little snake in front of Gu Pinyao at the moment is obviously a kind of mimicry, but no one tells her that mutated plants can also give birth to mimicry. Is this still the early days of the apocalypse, less than two years before the outbreak of the zombie virus, and the species in nature have developed to such a level?

But she wanted to think about it, but the action did not stop at all, stretched out her hand and turned into a wind blade from the palm of her hand, and hit directly at the seven inches of the red snake, and was dodged by the small snake's S-shaped pace, Gu Pinyao was not discouraged when she saw this, and continued to hit with the wind blade, while she herself approached the red substance. That's right, she knows that the mimic little snake is nimble, especially since she is still in the mutated tree, there are too many danger factors, and it is definitely not an excellent way to destroy the little snake and then get the crystal nucleus. Although she has now entered the foundation building stage, it is not enough to deal with this mutant tree that is hundreds of years old, and the only weapon is the chaotic power in her body. It's a pity that the number of chaos forces is too small, and Gu Pinyao can only fight quickly now.

Taking advantage of the fact that the little snake was driven to other places by the wind blade, Gu Pinyao concentrated his breath, and directly stretched out his right hand and slapped it towards the hard material body, and the blood that was sucked by the red light before was actually Gu Pinyao's energy. This time, Gu Pinyao quickly drilled his hand into it, and suddenly grabbed the green crystal nucleus in the middle into his hand.

At this time, the mutant tree naturally understood Gu Pinyao's intentions, and secretly scolded this woman for being a treacherous villain, and immediately took the mimic snake back, and used the energy in her body to drag Gu Pinyao and prevent her from taking away the crystal nucleus in the center. The two forces are glued to each other, and neither will let anyone. Gu Pinyao couldn't take out the crystal nucleus, and the mutant tree couldn't snatch it back. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, since she couldn't take it out, then she could directly devour the energy of the crystal nucleus. As soon as he said and did, Gu Pinyao pinched the crystal nucleus tightly and absorbed the energy of the green crystal nucleus directly from the palm of his hand. Feeling that the energy that had been accumulated in his body for so much was being absorbed, but he couldn't do anything about it, the mutant tree was furious. It must kill this human, and it must not allow her to absorb her crystal nucleus. So it directly stretched out the branches on its body, and regardless of whether the food it kept in captivity would die or not, it inserted it into the bodies of those people in the square, and a steady stream of vitality and blood was infused into the body of the mutant tree, helping it recover its own lost body.

"Ah......h

The wrist-thick branches were like a straw, devouring the blood in the villagers' bodies, and the severe pain swept through their bodies, making everyone convulse and cry immediately.

At this moment, Yuan Qingfeng and the others had already arrived at the square, so they naturally saw this scene, but they also did not have a flood of sympathy, knowing that Gu Pinyao was fighting against the mutant tree at the moment, and the situation was in crisis, Yuan Qingfeng and the others also moved. The strength of the mutant tree was something they had never seen before, knowing that Gu Pinyao in the heart of the tree was in danger at this time, since the mutant tree was closed in the center and could not enter, they had to attack the periphery of the mutant tree to buy Gu Pinyao some time.

The ability and bullet hit the mutant tree, marking a shallow trace from the depths, and Yuan Qingfeng even cut off a huge branch of the mutant tree, causing it to writhe in pain. The blood-sucking villagers hung from its writhing branches, like fruit on the branches, but with a silent smell of death.

Gu Pin Yaotong guò released spiritual power in the heart of the tree, knowing what happened outside, to be honest, she didn't have any sympathy for those humans who looked away. Every kindness in the world is a good deed that is expressed without touching one's own interests, but once it threatens oneself, the dark side of human nature will make the ultimate choice of self-interest for mankind. The villagers were kept in captivity by mutant trees, lived a carefree life, and were given a chance to live, and the same equivalent exchange was their fate. She has to admit that she is actually hypocritical and selfish, what she gives to the outside world is always something she feels unimportant, and when it comes to her survival, kindness has long been annihilated.

While the mutant tree was sucking the blood and vitality of the villagers, Gu Pinyao stepped up his absorption of the crystal nucleus energy. At this time, her hands were already frozen blue, and they were about to stiffen, and the closer they got to the crystal nucleus, the lower the temperature, and even her transformed body was a little unbearable, but even so, Gu Pinyao did not stop.

Seeing that the mutant tree was distracted to deal with Yuan Qingfeng and the others, she directly gathered the power of chaos in her palm, and sucked it suddenly, and the energy of the crystal nucleus was directly absorbed by the gray earth energy, and she herself completely fainted because of the sudden increase in energy. The branches of the mutant tree, which were still dancing, were stunned for a moment, and then the entire tree collapsed to the ground, and it could no longer die. (To be continued......)
