Chapter 17: Challenging the Giant Tree
The last day of this hunting competition ended with the human side failing to challenge the spirit beast side.
I have to say that this is quite a big blow to the arrogant human being.
Not only the contestants, but also the atmosphere in the camp outside the jungle was a little gloomy and silent.
Human beings should be the existence of fearless, pioneering territory, gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddha blocking*, but now they are blocked by a small spirit beast in the jungle, and for a while, many people can't accept it.
That Gao Yan and Wen Ru were regarded as the strongest two of the contestants in this competition, but they had no achievements, and the two of them worked together, and they didn't even cut off the head of any sixth-order spirit beast.
In this way, the two of them suddenly became the target of public criticism.
"The strongest of the younger generation, I think it's a joke. ”
"Today's young people are really inferior to the generation, and this is the first time since the start of the hunting tournament that they have not killed their targets. ”
"What a failure!"
"What are the three major families, there is not a single material that can be made. In the future Youth Demon Fighting Competition, I'm afraid that I will be slapped in the face by foreign forces and lose face in Gaochuan City?"
"Hehe, I think so, I can only pray that the genius of the City Lord's Mansion will save face. These people are so much worse than that!"
In the face of everyone's accusations and abuse, the participants obviously couldn't hear it.
But the two people who were at the forefront of the battlefield and rarely tasted defeat - Gao Yan and Wen Ru were naturally very unwilling.
Perhaps it was the relationship between the perennial cultivation of fire spirit arts, Gao Yan's temper was as violent as his flames, and he failed this time with sufficient preparations, which made him extremely indignant, and as soon as he came out of the black forest, he frantically slaughtered other spirit beasts to vent his anger.
His points in the standings are also rising in a terrible trend, and in just half a day, he has surpassed Xiao Ju, who has been in second place for six days.
At the cost of this, there were a lot of injuries in his team, but he still didn't mean to stop, and continued to insist on snatching the first place.
As a girl, Wen Ru is much more stable.
She first helped the injured little girl heal her wounds, and then led the team to hunt the spirit beast in an orderly manner.
With the advantage accumulated over many days, although her score has not increased as much as Gao Yan, it is also growing steadily, I don't know if she can keep the first place under Gao Yan's crazy pursuit.
And Xiao Hao, who was squeezed to the third, didn't seem to have any action to fight back.
All the teams exploded on this last day, and the scores went up. Only Xiao Ju's score, like a giant Buddha, does not move at all.
In the black forest, Yu Zhang and Xiao Ju were still wandering on the edge of the dangerous dark jungle and did not go out.
There is little creature to see here except the big dark tree.
Flame ants also rarely come out, after all, it is daytime, and once they appear, they will be scorched by the sun.
The two of them had nothing to do at this time, which made Xiao Hao very anxious.
He took out his token and observed the situation in the standings. The changes above were drastic, and his ranking had fallen to outside the fifth place, and he was anxious, but because there were no spirit beasts around him to hunt, his score did not rise for a long time.
Seeing that Xiao Ju was so anxious, Yu Zhang calmly persuaded: "Don't worry, the master is always the last to appear." ”
Time flew by, and the seventh night arrived as scheduled.
Tomorrow's first rays of light will announce the end of this hunting competition.
And in this last night, everyone did not choose to take shelter safely as always, but rose to the occasion.
Everywhere in the jungle, all kinds of spiritual magic lights up, and the sound of battle resounded throughout the jungle, causing birds and beasts to roar in unison, screaming in the sky.
Yu Zhang and Xiao Ju have been wandering in the black forest for a long time. At this time, I saw Yu Zhang's hand withdrawn from the soil, straightened his waist, looked at the sky outside, saw that the sky was dark, and said in a low voice: "It's time." ”
As soon as the words were finished, the two of them moved at the same time in a tacit understanding, speeding through the black woods, and rushing towards the center.
The two didn't have much verbal communication or eye contact, as if they had a plan.
And in the center of the Black Forest, after a long day of silence, the two sixth-order spirit beasts also calmed down a lot.
Swarms of flame ants were carrying piles of the same kind on the ground, presumably back to their nests for food storage.
The pitch-black giant tree inserts all the roots of its body into the soil and absorbs the aura of the earth.
Among them, the two thick vines that knocked back the Death Ice Lotus were the most conspicuous, and I saw the aura in the earth, and the vines were bulging into a big bag, as if they would burst at any time.
But the pitch-black giant tree did not relent, but intensified its efforts to absorb the bulging spiritual energy into the main trunk in one go.
For a while, like an elephant absorbing water, the continuous aura of the earth was absorbed into its body by its "gurgling".
As it did so, the rest of the black trees around it gradually withered as if they had been squeezed out of their water and nutrients, and finally the black leaves of the trees withered, and the land was paved with a dark color.
"It's... Absorb the aura of the earth and the surrounding trees to increase your strength. ”
"Can't let it continue, let's go!" Yu Zhang's deep voice.
In Yu Zhang's perception, this tree-shaped spirit beast was already at the peak level of the sixth order, and as it absorbed the nearby spiritual energy for a longer time, its aura faintly made Yu Zhangdu feel a sense of oppression.
It actually wanted to take this opportunity to forcibly break through to the seventh order!
If it really reaches the seventh-order level, I'm afraid that no one present will be its opponent, then the first place that it swore to be promised before will also disappear.
The warden of the Void Heaven Hall didn't say anything, although this would not be passed on, Yu Zhang himself felt ashamed.
Therefore, today, these two sixth-order spirit beasts, he must have taken them.
With Yu Zhang's command, a light human figure burst out of the black forest, his hands wrapped in the air mass, the air flow in the shape of a blade, and broke the many branches that had been inserted into the earth.
"Air Blade!"
The persimmon picks the soft pinch, and Xiao Ju cut off many of the more fragile branches, and then runs flexibly again, continuing to move on those branches that are absorbing the aura of the earth.
"Click!" The sound of the branches breaking was particularly harsh in the quiet black forest, and the pitch-black giant tree instantly became angry, and countless tentacle-like branches grabbed Xiao Hao.
"Smack!" the prison of the blue waves spread out around Xiao Ju and expanded outward, bounce away all the flying branches.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Ju jumped out and escaped from the giant tree's attack range.
The pitch-black giant tree let out a long roar, and the beneath the ground moved again, and the flame queen reappeared.
As soon as the queen ant appeared, she led a large army of ants and chased in the direction of Xiao Hao's escape, bound to catch this human who had been making trouble repeatedly.
Xiao Ju led them away from the dark giant tree, and stopped to meet the flame ants.
But that group of low-level flame ants was no threat to Xiao Ju, and the ant soldiers were defeated in large numbers.
Seeing that her subordinates were no opponents at all, the Flame Ant Queen decided to go out in person, erected the hard horn that had collapsed the sixth-level spirit array, and rushed towards Xiao Ju.
Xiao Yu fought and retreated, leading the queen ant into the woods.
Seeing the troublesome humans being chased away by their companions, the pitch-black giant tree once again stabilized its mood.
It sprouted dozens of new branches and inserted them into the earth, trying to continue to absorb the earth's nutrients.
But at this moment, several sharp ice spears suddenly appeared out of thin air in the sky, and the ice spears braved the cold air and rotated slightly, locking the pitch-black giant tree below.
Then the ice spear slammed down, severing many of the branches that had pierced into the ground.
"Shhhh
At this time, Yu Chang fell from the sky, he was covered in blue, and his purple robe also changed to a light blue color, with horns on his head, five fingers into claws, and scales sparsely spread on his skin.
He was imbued with the breath of a beast, suspended in mid-air, like a king descending.
The pitch-black giant tree looked at him, and even felt a trace of fear that penetrated deep into his soul.
So, what kind of spirit beast is it!?
Yu Zhang knew that he couldn't delay with this spirit beast that might advance to the seventh order at any time, so he raised his right hand high, and in the flow of spiritual power, several ice spears resurfaced in the air.
"Go. ”
Yu Zhang's palm flexed, and the ice spears drew a few straight lines in the air, sprinkling fine crushed ice, staining the air a little cold.
"Boom!" The ice spear was extremely sharp, not only crushing the oncoming branches of the giant tree, but also digging deep into its trunk, drawing out a lot of black sap.
This level of pain didn't seem to have had much effect on it, after all, the tree-shaped spirit beasts were all known for their extremely tenacious vitality, and even the Wen family's superb spirit weapon hadn't caused much damage to it before.
Although these ice spears were not as powerful as the one that had hunted the swamp serpent before, they were not to be underestimated.
If you used five parts of force before, then these are full four parts.
It can be seen that the vitality of the tree-shaped spirit beast is more than one and a half points higher than that of the same tenacious snake spirit snake.
"It seems that five is not enough..."
"Then I'll poke you into a hornet's nest. ”
The corners of Yu Zhang's mouth raised an evil arc, and then his body continued to rise in the air, a large amount of spiritual power gathered on his two hands, and the broken hair on his forehead was blown back by this force, revealing the whole body of the pair of strange horns.
"Ice Gun Wheel!"
Around the huge body of the giant tree, nearly ten circles of ice spears were formed, each circle had more than twenty, and each of them emitted a cold cold light, enveloping the pitch-black giant tree to death.
A huge offensive, hundreds of powerful ice spears are ready to attack.
In the face of such a powerful attack, even this spirit beast that had touched the threshold of the seventh order was terrified.
"Attack!"
Yu Zhang's hands slammed forward, and countless ice spears turned into afterimages and stabbed mercilessly.
