Chapter 99: The Heart of the Devil
This locust tree is huge, and its underground root system extends in all directions.
When these tree roots were pulled up from the ground, the entire radius of hundreds of meters was occupied by tree roots, except for a few taproots still rooted in the ground, as if there were countless tentacles waving in the air at a glance.
Luo Yuan, who was full of anger, his reason had been reduced to the lowest point, and without the slightest hesitation, he rushed into the attack circle of the tree roots with a long knife, and in an instant, countless dense tree roots seemed to be trampled on the tail of a giant snake, suddenly burst out, and began to pounce frantically towards Luo Yuan.
The wind was howling around, the sand was splashing, and even a few boulders of hundreds of kilograms were rolling in all directions under the shaking of the tree roots, and the sound was amazing.
If an ordinary person were in it, even if he hadn't been smashed into meat sauce by the roots of the tree, he would probably be shot into thousands of holes by the dense stones that filled the entire space like bullets, and rotted into a puddle of meat mud.
Even Luo Yuan couldn't dodge for a while and was hit by a few stones with an astonishing speed, but he was instantly bounced away by the film of will on his surface.
The film of will on his body was dull compared to the light on the blade, countless times thinner than a soap bubble, as if it would burst when blown and shattered at the touch, and would not be visible to the naked eye if it were not at night. But it is such a faint film, even if it is hit by high-speed stones, it is only dimmed, and it only returns to its previous brightness in the snap of a finger.
However, at this time, Luo Yuan, who was in the battle, couldn't be distracted, his eyes were sharp, and he was indomitable, under the impermeable roots, he moved and jumped between square inches like an ape, and the sword dance was impermeable.
The roots of the trees, broken at the touch of a sharp knife, cracked next to each other, and thick roots fell from behind him, twitching incessantly.
As Luo Yuan advanced step by step, more and more tree roots were cut off behind him, and the distance between the two slowly but firmly approached.
Perhaps sensing the impending disaster, the locust tree became more and more irritable, and it struggled to wave the only remaining roots to attack wildly, because of the reduction of the roots, the whole locust tree was unable to maintain its balance, and the whole huge trunk was left and right, and the huge umbrella lid shook violently in the air to make a rustling sound.
At this moment, on the main trunk of the locust tree, the position of the eyes of the rough face seemed to crack slightly, and it looked as if the eyes that had been closed suddenly opened, and the eyes faintly flashed with a hint of light.
Luo Yuan's heart suddenly throbbed, and he couldn't even maintain his anger for a while, he only felt an indescribable sense of crisis rising from his heart, and he couldn't even avoid it at all, and his whole person froze instantly.
The next moment, a silent roar crossed the space and instantly hit his body in the form of an invisible ripple, and the film of will on his surface shattered instantly at the slightest contact, and then his mind suddenly went blank and he lost consciousness.
……
I don't know how long it took for him to come to his senses.
He hurriedly looked around vigilantly, and in fear, he didn't care about the attack for a while, and retreated again and again, and quickly withdrew from the attack range of this locust tree.
He looked at the locust tree with a hint of surprise on his face.
I saw that the locust tree was motionless, as if the attack just now had exhausted all its energy, and countless roots were scattered on the exposed grass, and these tree trunks were slowly wriggling, and they were burrowing into the ground. However, this speed is weaker than the furious attack just now.
Even the originally lush leaves of the tree have begun to turn yellow, fluttering down from the air, and in a short period of time, the locust tree seems to be about to enter the end of its life.
Seeing this scene, Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little afraid in his heart.
This time it's too thrilling, if the reason is still there, how can I be so reckless?
Thinking that he had already eaten one of its attacks, he still didn't have the slightest vigilance.
It seems that although he can improve his combat effectiveness for a while with the help of anger, he has given up the greatest advantage of mankind in the last days - wisdom and prudence, and instead has put himself in an extremely dangerous situation, if it is not for the luck of this time, even if it still has the power of a blow, I am afraid that he is already a puddle of flesh now, and even after death, even his soul will be enslaved by the locust tree and become a part of the other party.
In the face of such slow-moving plant-like mutant creatures, perhaps with just a barrel of gasoline, it can be easily solved.
Thinking about it at this time, he was a little apprehensive.
But what the hell is going on with the attack just now, it seems to be a direct attack on the soul, and even the superficial membrane of will can't stop it for a moment, and it is directly attacked into the mind. Even now that he was awake, his brain was still groggy as if it had been stirred into a pulp.
Luo Yuan secretly said in his heart, he had seen the ghost, and at this time he was already convinced of the existence of the soul.
At this time, he felt some itching in his nostrils, and when he touched it with his hand, it was all blood, and then he found that not only his nostrils, but also his ears and eyes were bleeding.
He looked shocked, walked a few steps carefully, and found that his movements were normal, his hands and feet were flexible, and his vision and hearing were not lost, so he was a little relieved.
He rested for a while, and finally looked at the locust tree again: "It's time to solve it." ”
This huge locust tree seemed to be able to feel Luo Yuan's malicious gaze, and its body couldn't help shaking, and the roots of the tree that were about to be inserted into the ground were slowly pulled out again, but they seemed powerless.
Luo Yuan smiled coldly, walked towards the front step by step, and a few nearby tree roots flicked weakly, and then gave up resignedly.
The blurred face in the center of the trunk gradually changed, revealing an anthropomorphic pleading expression at the end, and the entire canopy rustled softly.
Luo Yuan was unmoved, carrying a horse chopping knife, his speed suddenly accelerated, and he slashed at the trunk of the tree!
The dark blue-level horse chopping knife was extremely sharp, as if cutting into tofu, and it passed smoothly without causing the slightest obstacle.
The trunk shook violently, and under the stimulation of death, the surrounding tree roots stimulated the most powerful potential, and began to twitch violently, several roots even wanted to fight back, but they were easily cut off by Luo Yuan one by one, he didn't dare to delay it for a long time, so as not to have any more accidents.
Under the swords of the sword, the huge locust tree, which resembles a skyscraper, finally collapsed with a bang, completely crushing a half-collapsed nearby building, causing a small earthquake on the ground.
After Luo Yuan waited for more than ten seconds, a series of prompts for the completion of the task sounded:
"Drop, E-Class Mission: E-Class Mission, to find and eliminate the cause of the disappearance of the population in the Jingyue Community has been completed. Mission completion time: 7 hours and 36 minutes; Mission Rating: Good! ”
"Bonus base XP +1600!"
"Rating: Average, +800 XP!"
"Experience: 4300/19200!"
Luo Yuan looked at the current experience value and sighed, there is still a considerable distance from the upgrade, and this experience is only a fraction.
Now the level of upgrading is getting slower and slower, and if you want to reach level eight, even if each mission is well evaluated, you have to complete at least six or seven E-level tasks. If it's dark blue......
He hurriedly dispelled this dangerous thought, this was simply looking for his own death.
Even a blue-level mutant beast was a little bumpy, and he would be seriously injured if he was not careful, not to mention those dark blue-level overlords, thinking about those dark-blue-level mutant creatures he had encountered before, he felt his scalp tingle!
Just as Luo Yuan was about to go back to sleep, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that something seemed to be glowing in the trunk of the fallen locust tree.
Confused, he walked over and found that the light source was located a little deeper in the middle of the trunk, and the nearby wood was particularly deadly, very different from the others. If he had cut a little more than that, he would have cut it off directly, so he was curious, and picked up the knife and dug carefully.
Even if the wood is deadly, it is so powerless under the dark blue-level horse chopping knife, as the surrounding wood is cut away by Luo Yuan one by one, and soon a green crystal the size of a pigeon's egg falls on the palm of his hand.
The crystal is round throughout, with a faint dark mysterious pattern on the surface, which looks very much like a finely carved jadeite.
But it looks even greener, green is full of life, and the whole body exudes a faint light, even if it is pitch black outside, it still exudes a transparent green light.
Luo Yuan held this round crystal, and suddenly found that his heart was peaceful, his whole soul seemed to be soaked in warm water and constantly nourished, and even his previous groggy mind seemed to gradually become clearer.
Feeling the abnormality of his body, he immediately realized that this thing was not simple, and he hurriedly used an identification technique.
"Heart of the Oni Locust"
"Rarity: Blue."
"Weight: 100g."
"Texture: Soul Active."
"Additional Abilities: +1 Will, +1 Perception"
"Evaluation: This is a rare active spar, its value far exceeds its evaluation, as long as you carry it with you, it can speed up the recovery of consumed will and perception, and play a bonus role."
Although the information was simple, Luo Yuan chewed it several times.
Only then did he notice that his perception had unconsciously increased a lot, from the original twenty meters to a radius of thirty meters, and the perception was clearer and more nuanced, even the swing of a small grass was vividly reflected in his heart.
The will is not easy to experiment, after all, most of it has been consumed before, but it is no longer the situation when the will is greatly consumed before, and the thoughts are not controlled.
What is called ecstasy, Luo Yuan is ecstasy at this time, even if he tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, he couldn't help but smile at this time.
However, the long period of meditation is not in vain, and it doesn't take long for the mind to calm down completely.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that there were still a few people lying not far away before, and the situation was urgent, and there was no good way, so he had to knock out one by one, and then Luo Yuan was besieged by ghosts, and he couldn't take care of them for a while, so that they were still lying outside, hoping that they would survive this time and avoid this catastrophe.
Luo Yuan walked over quickly, and soon saw the figures of several people lying on the ground, perhaps because of the fierce battle here, the low-level mutant beasts around him had already avoided this area far away, and several of them were lucky to be safe.
Luo Yuan woke them up one by one, and several people woke up with a confused face, and found that they were not in the familiar basement, but in the pitch-black wilderness, except for Ning Xiaoran, who was better because of the "experience" during the day, the rest of the people were frightened, obviously a little collapsed, and several women even screamed again and again.
Luo Yuan couldn't stand it a little, and snorted coldly:
"Looking at your performance one by one, I can only say that I am lucky to have survived until now, but this luck may have been revolving around you, today is your good luck, because I came with me, if I don't come with me, I'm afraid you are already in the belly of the mutant beast now."
"If you're afraid, then bear with me, and if you really can't bear it, then slash your neck, because it's more terrifying to want to continue to live than to die." Luo Yuan would not be as gentle to them as he was to Master Wang.
After all, he is not a charity, and he is not obligated to support these people for nothing. In fact, he didn't expect these people to be of much help to him, and raising them was only a pre-apocalyptic moral influence.
But at least it can't be delayed, in a situation like today, that ghost locust used a little ability, and it was wiped out all at once. Now that I think about it, as long as I am a little stronger, I should be able to resist this invisible ecstasy, but no one can hold it up.
Even Master Wang, who is an evolutionary, was actually tricked, this is really ......
However, considering that Master Wang is still underage, it is understandable that his heart is still immature.
But several adults have behaved like this, and it cannot but be said that they are too fragile, and that pre-apocalyptic life has corroded their bodies and minds. If they continued to behave so badly, he would have to harden his heart and drive them away.
Hearing Luo Yuan's cold voice, there was a sudden silence around him.
