Chapter 412: Impact

Previous Chapter

Li Mei's hand holding the sword trembled slightly. She wrapped her body in a cloak and ran through the underground passages in a bit of a staggered manner. Until now, she has not recovered from the thrilling scene just now.

The scene she had just seen in the central lair almost overwhelmed her sanity, and under the agitation of her mood, she did not annihilate all the spiritual power waves that came into contact with her body, and leaked out of the horse's feet.

It was a huge crater, several kilometers in circumference, and in the middle of it was a giant tree beyond human imagination. This strange tree has no leaves, its branches twisted and knotted, like a demon struggling in hell, it is a hundred meters high, and its thick trunk requires hundreds of people to hold hands and hug it. The snakeskin-like bark has ugly nodules on it, like a distorted human face, and ordinary people will go insane and lose their minds at a glance.

The most frightening thing is the roots that protrude from the ground, which are so dense that they resemble a clump of entwined nematodes. One by one, the humans swept by the Ouroboros surrounded the giant tree, and the roots of the trees were as hard as steel as the best cages. The slender and hard fibrous roots penetrate into the human body, extracting the flesh and blood nourishment and even the soul in the human body.

Hundreds of Ouroboros soldiers are still pouring the captive humans into this root net. The wriggling roots easily imprisoned these poor people who had no power to resist.

In the darkness, it was impossible to see how many people had been sacrificed to the Mother Tree.

The humans who had only recently been sent to the Root Whisker Prison still had the strength to struggle, and the slightly earlier ones had become skin and bones, and only the slight heaving of their chests and abdomen proved that they were still alive. Earlier, there were only piles of scattered bones.

Vessel-like veins protrude from the roots of the tree, transmitting the energy extracted from the human body to the trunk.

A huge, unsettling fruit hung from the trunk of the tree. The fruit was like a heart, wriggling and jumping. Most of the energy that is extracted from the human body is infused into its body.

Li Mei, who had been in contact with the Yama Holy Son, could tell at a glance what was inside this fruit. This kind of predator-like psionic deterrence is extremely chaotic and extremely evil, and it is impossible for humans and the Holy Demon Clan to possess it.

Ouroboros was actually trying to re-conceive the Yama Son and let him come early.

The spiritual force wave that filled the air immediately locked the location where Li Mei had accidentally leaked, and a powerful and condensed spiritual power torrent radiated from a distance, and the huge energy was enough to dry the brains of hundreds of ordinary people in an instant.

"Humans? Die! ”

The strong malice accompanied by the mental force wave invaded Li Mei's brain, wanting to kill her directly. This is the existence of the first energy level who directly attacked.

A dazzling aura of psionic energy lit up from Li Mei's body, annihilating most of the spiritual power waves, but the remaining impact still made her head stunned.

Wiping away the nosebleed that came out of her nose, Li Mei was only in a trance for a moment, and then regained her composure with her strong willpower. She knew that if she didn't want to be left here forever, she would have to find a way to escape.

But leaving in embarrassment, Li Mei was really unwilling. Raising the Lee Enfield rifle on her back, she took aim at the eerie fruit and pulled the trigger.

Sensing the threat, the mother tree reacted immediately with a stressful response. The huge body suddenly came to life, and the thick branches reacted extremely quickly, like poisonous snakes, and instantly blocked the front of the fruit.

The psionic bullet hit the thick branch, exploding violently, and the flash of light illuminated the entire crypt in an instant.

The psionic bullet that could easily kill a fourth-level professional only exploded a basketball-sized hole in the tough branches. This wound is trivial to the thick branches.

The mother tree was enraged by this attack, and countless flexible branches shot straight in the direction of Li Mei like giant snakes. Beneath the strong branches, the solid rock wall is as soft as tofu.

The reason why the family members placed the mother tree here so confidently was because very few people were able to break through the mother tree's defenses and harm the fruit that gave birth to the Holy Son. Unless the entire mother tree is destroyed, it is almost impossible to harm the fruit.

Li Mei jumped a few vertically above the ground, narrowly avoiding the branches that contained great power. Finding her chance, she pulled the trigger again, and this time she fired all the bullets in the magazine in one go.

Her eyes were bleeding, and she managed to lock on to the fruit's position in the chaotic flow of mental waves. The bullet was fired in an exaggerated arc in the air to avoid the branches that stood in front of it.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

A constant stream of psionic bullets was blocked by the thick body of the branches.

Violent explosions echoed through the crypt like thunder, illuminating the human figures impaled by the roots. They struggled desperately, as if a drowning man was trying to grasp the last straw. It's just that even if the mother tree is attacked, it's not something they can break free from. They had nothing to gain other than the shocking wounds.

The Ouroboros soldiers who were feeding the mother tree were shocked and rushed in the direction of Li Mei.

With a slight tap of her toes on the branches strangled by a python, Li Mei's whole body jumped up lightly, completed the loading in mid-air, and continued to pull the trigger towards the fruit.

The last round of shooting allowed Li Mei to test the way the mother tree behaved, and finally a psionic bullet was under her control, bypassing many obstacles, and accurately hitting the fruit hidden in the back.

"Boom!"

Li Mei chose the strongest explosive spiritual energy in the destruction, and the violent explosion hit the fruit. A crack was blasted open in the fruit's shell, and a terrifying psionic energy so strong that it made people palpitate immediately poured out of it.

As soon as these psionic energies overflowed, they condensed into a thick brachial foot. It's just that the Yama consciousness in the fruit has not yet awakened, and this wrist and foot disintegrate after maintaining it for a while.

A terrifying cry emanated from the fruit, producing a ring sound that was almost visible to the naked eye. The mother tree reacted extremely quickly, and its roots surged with psionic energy, protecting the sacrifices. But the Ouroboros weren't so lucky, as the extremely evil psionic blast killed them in the first place, and the ensuing sound turned them into a mural of flesh and blood on the rock wall.

Li Mei's pupils shrank, such a powerful impact, even she was extremely difficult to bear.

"Sonorous!"

She drew her sword, and flames of sun-gold erupted from the blade. The hot flame stream cut off a branch with some difficulty, and Li Mei shrank as soon as she shrank and hid behind the branch, waiting for the impact to come.
