Volume 1 Prelude to Chaos Chapter 14 The Fruit of the Ghost Tree
The moment the Splittooth Troll fell to the ground, the Lava Living Tree trembled, revealing the fear in its heart, but in the face of Bai Ye's questioning, it was silent, as if it wanted to fight with silence.
Bai Ye smiled contemptuously: "I know you are calling for the guards, but unfortunately this is a fault space, the rules of the fire demon plane have no effect here, those Cracktooth monsters can't hear your call, maybe you think I can't find the heart of the tree, and want to wait for those guards to return to the nest by delaying time?" ”
The Lava Tree of Life remained silent, and White Night pointed to the corpse of the giant Splittooth and continued: "Every Tree of Life will select the most powerful warrior among the guardian tribes to guard the heart of the tree, this guy is so big and has the ability to burst out suddenly, he must have eaten your fruit, right?" You see, I knew it was going to stay here, and of course I knew where your heart was! ”
After speaking, Bai Ye aimed his saber at the ground under the crystal and slashed hard, pulling out a huge wound, from which a dark red liquid actually oozed. The ground seems to be as hard as the rest of the ground, but when a knife pierces it, it is like a stab on leather, and it can be easily pierced. Bai Ye grabbed the wound with both hands and used it hard, and he could see under the ground.
There was a small space, and in the center of it grew an extremely thick branch, the tip of which was coiled in the shape of a large bowl, filled with a lava-like liquid, and in the liquid was soaked a heart-shaped object the size of a skull, and countless thick veins were wrapped around the surface, extending into the body of the tree of life.
This is the heart of the tree of life, and it supplies the energy needed for the growth of the entire tree of life. Every few minutes, the heart of the tree contracts and relaxes like a real heart, and at each point, a huge amount of energy flows down the vein-like branches into the body of the tree of life.
Bai Ye picked up the shotgun, loaded it, aimed it at the heart of the tree, and shouted, "Now you have one last chance to choose, hand over the fruit, or meet the destruction!" ”
Finally, the voice of the Tree of Life came from his consciousness again: "Visitor from the Otherworld, I am shocked by how much you know about the Tree of Life, since you are here for the Violent Fruit, then it is as you wish." ”
As soon as the words fell, the crack in the ground automatically expanded several times, and the huge container containing the liquid and the heart of the tree began to rise slowly, burrowing out of the ground and coming to the front of the white night, and a young bud grew at the top of the center of the tree, and the young bud grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, flowering rapidly, and then bearing a fruit the size of an egg, the texture of the skin of the fruit shimmered like lava, and the heat was slightly rising, during which the tree of life continued to tremble, as if it was going through a very painful process.
The fruit of the ordinary tree of life can increase people's life, delay aging, treat diseases and wounds, and greatly improve people's vitality, while the mutated lava tree of life bears a violent fruit, which can greatly increase the strength, and produce an ability called "violent" in the bloodline, when activated, the explosive power will reach its peak, and the instantaneous speed and strike power will be greatly improved.
Bai Ye picked the fruit and swallowed it in his abdomen, and then he felt a surging energy burst out from his lower abdomen, pouring into every cell in his body, this energy was constantly transforming his body, in just a few tens of seconds, Bai Ye's body was raised by a section, and his height of 1.75 meters grew to 1.8 meters, and the muscles in various parts of his body were also revealed.
From this moment on, Bai Ye is once again out of the category of ordinary people, although the violent fruit is not as able to bring people a reborn evolution like the evolutionary seed, but it is still a huge improvement, and the current power of the white night is comparable to a bull, and after turning on the violent ability, even a bull can't withstand his punch.
Feeling the surging power in his body, Bai Ye showed a satisfied smile, but he didn't leave there, but pointed to the liquid that soaked in the heart of the tree and said, "Since you even gave me the Violent Fruit, you must not mind if I use a little marrow, right?" After speaking, without waiting for the tree of life's answer, he took out boxes of steel ball bullets from the package he carried with him, and threw them all into the container containing the marrow of the tree.
After a long while, the tree of life replied very reluctantly: "The pith is at your disposal!" ”
Due to the limited marrow of the tree, Bai Ye was only enough to soak five boxes of a total of 100 steel balls in the marrow, only to see that the lava marrow was rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was gradually absorbed by the steel ball bullets, and soon the marrow was consumed, and several thin cracks appeared on the surface of those steel balls, and lava-like energy flowed inside.
Bai Ye put away the steel beads infused with the pith of the tree, patted the spirit crystal of the tree of life, and said: "Lava tree of life, thanks to your care, I will leave today, but it won't be long before I go to the fire demon plane, I hope we can meet again at that time, and you can still know the current affairs as you do today." ”
The Lava Life Tree was speechless, and White Night laughed and turned back the way he came.
Soon, Bai Ye reappeared in the hall of the shopping mall, only to encounter two split-toothed monsters coming towards him, with the remains of a woman in their mouths! They have round bellies and hiss excitedly as they run, apparently trying to bring their leftover prey back to their nests to nurse their young.
However, as a prey, the woman's fate can be described as very miserable, her face was only half gnawed, her two arms and one leg were missing, her body was torn into two pieces, and she was held in the mouths of two monsters, and the upper body was torn open and a piece of intestines dragged on the ground, which looked disgusting and creepy.
Seeing such a scene, Bai Ye's face immediately sank. Ten years after the end of the world, the blood of the white night has long been cold, he can look at the death of thousands of people without changing his face, and even kill more people with his own hands than the monsters of this community, but whenever he sees human beings reduced to food for aliens, he still has an unstoppable anger bursting in his heart!
The Cracktooth Monsters were stunned when they saw the White Night coming out of the Tree of Life, but the next moment, they threw down their prey, accelerated violently, and roared towards the White Night.
Bai Ye did not hesitate, raised his gun with one hand, and knocked a Splittooth monster to the ground with a roar, and in the face of another monster rushing in front of him, Bai Ye's empty hand reached forward and had already choked the monster's throat, and its speed was so fast that the Splittooth Monster could not react at all.
At this time, the white night completely crushed the Splittooth in terms of strength, only to hear him break the drink, he actually lifted the Splittooth in the air with one arm, smashed it to the ground with a bang, and then pressed the muzzle of the gun against the Splittooth Monster's eyes, and opened fire blatantly, the steel ball blew the Splittooth Monster's eyeballs and pierced the brain, and the Splittooth Monster landed on the score.
This is just ordinary steel balls, not those blessed with lava energy, and against a few ordinary Tooth Splitter monsters, Bai Ye is reluctant to waste violent steel balls.
The other was wounded, but not dead, and it struggled to get up, but was slammed on the head with the butt of a gun by the white night that caught up, knocking it to the ground again. The Splittooth became the object of White Night's anger, but instead of killing it quickly, White Night used the butt of the gun as an iron rod and slammed it into the Cracktooth's head, ignoring the Cracktooth's terrible wails until it was smashed into a mess of rotten flesh.
The Cracktooth's dying howl alarmed the other nearby monsters, and the three Splittooth rushed into the hall from different directions, and when they saw the corpses of the White Night and the Cracktooth all over the ground, they looked at each other and surrounded each other in tacit understanding, forming a zigzag around the White Night in the center.
Bai Ye calmly looked at the enemy who surrounded him, there was no reaction, he just shook his neck, and there was a sound of "click, click, click" in his muscles and bones, he put his gun on the ground, drew his saber, and said with a cruel smile: "Just play with you!" ”
After speaking, a surging scorching energy erupted violently in his blood, and his eyes began to bloom with golden light, under the blessing of the power of time and the ability to "violent", the speed of the white night instantly erupted faster than when the cheetah sprinted, the cracked tooth monster couldn't react at all, the white night fit into the monster in front of him, knocked the cracked tooth monster upside down and flew seven or eight meters away, and after landing, he never stood up again.
It turned out that at the moment of closeness, Bai Ye had already pierced the neck of the Splittooth with his saber.
It wasn't until the Tooth Breaker fell to the ground that the other two came to their senses, and they reacted very differently, with one timid Tooth turning around and running, while the other, a stronger one, roared and rushed into the White Night.
But Bai Ye obviously didn't want to let go of any of them, he raised his right hand, and the saber came out of his hand, right in the back of the head that escaped from the Splittooth Monster, and the monster fell to the ground without a word. At this time, the last Splittooth Monster had already pounced in front of him, opened its big mouth and bit at Bai Ye, Bai Ye burst into a loud shout, bullied up, and supported the huge mouth of the Splittooth Monster with both hands, the muscles of his arms bulged high, and he exploded violently, and with a click, he actually broke off the jaw of the Splittooth Monster.
In the flash of lightning, the three Toothbreakers have all been killed. And a few minutes ago, Bai Ye didn't dare to face the three Split-Tooth Monsters with his bare hands. The efficiency of the violent fruit can be seen!
After the battle, Bai Ye calmed down the boiling power in his body, the ability to be "violent" could not be maintained for too long, otherwise it would produce a fatal sense of weakness, he retrieved his gun and saber, spat disdainfully at the corpses of a bunch of cracked tooth monsters, and looked at the woman's corpse again, the woman's torn face seemed to evoke his memories, he sighed, turned around and walked towards the upper floor of the shopping mall.
This trip to the fault space, the main goal has been completed, and there is a secondary goal, a person who was kind to him in his previous life was in this commercial building, although before the incident started, Bai Ye pretended to be a terrorist and made a big fuss in the commercial building, most of the people had already escaped, and it was unlikely that the person was still there, but Bai Ye still wanted to look for it, if that person stayed, Bai Ye would do his best to help her complete her evolution.
