Chapter 363: Severance
In the dense forest, there are blank areas within a radius of 100 meters, the ground is sandy, only some tenacious grass plants are growing, but they are not tall, the highest is only one foot.
And in the center of this clearing, a tree more than 20 meters tall similar to a willow tree grows, although it is not tall, but it is nearly two meters in diameter, and the branches are luxuriant, hanging down one by one to the ground, covering an area of dozens of meters, like a big umbrella.
"Quick, shoot it, shoot it, it's a cannibal tree ......," someone roared as he shot, his face pale, obviously frightened by this strange thing.
A tree can actually move, isn't this a monster-like thing?
Around, more than 20 people, armed with guns, shot at the strange tree, and the bullets rained down, causing the opponent's blades to fly, but the bullets were insignificant to this huge strange tree.
On the branches of this tree, several people were entangled, swaying as the branches swayed, and where the branches were entangled, the spikes pierced into the flesh, and they could feel their blood being absorbed rapidly, their faces turned pale, and they screamed in horror and despair.
"No, big brother, they are dying, they must be saved, burn this tree with fire," said someone in a frightened voice.
"You can't use fire, you'll burn them too, use knives, you can only burn them with fire after cutting off the branches with knives in the past to save them," said a strong man with a large knife and a submachine gun in the crowd.
He was a burly man. I am afraid that his height is not less than one meter eight, and he has a big beard, and he said with wide eyes and a frightened face at this time.
Use a knife to save people. Who would dare to go? Seeing those dense branches hanging on the ground, no one dared to go over, and to go was to die.
"I go, who will go with me? My brother is entangled in a man-eating tree and will die soon, who will save them with me"? A boy who looked to be only ten * years old stood up and said, holding a long black steel knife in his hand.
"I'll go with you. My son is also entangled in the cannibal tree, damn it. I should have expected this tree to be weird," said a middle-aged man with red eyes.
This is a group of hunters who have been here before, wondering why there are so many mutant bones on the ground. I didn't care what was wrong with the strange tree that was still and didn't move, just when I got closer, a few people were entangled, and there was this scene.
After two people stood up, in the crowd, three people stood up again, they either had relatives or people with good relationships who were entangled in the cannibal tree, and it was impossible to see death without help.
There were five people in total, each holding a meter-long straight-backed black steel knife. After glancing at each other, they rushed towards the man-eating tree.
"Don't be impulsive, hey. You're looking for death......", the bearded man roared, but it was too late to stop him.
However, at this time, the five people who rushed out had not yet had time to get close to the man-eating tree. The sandy ground is full of mud and sand. More than a dozen branches suddenly stretched out from the ground, and immediately wrapped around the two people and pulled towards the lower position of the tree.
This time it came down too suddenly, and the other three reacted in time, cutting off two branches with their knives to survive, but they didn't dare to move forward anymore and quickly retreated.
One of the two entangled, wielding the steel knife in his hand, cut off the branch and rolled to the ground, but two branches wrapped around him again and dragged him in the direction of the tree.
The people not far away, seeing this scene, hurriedly retreated, no one expected that this tree would actually engage in an ambush, the branches fell to the ground, grew directly from the ground, and suddenly stretched out to catch people.
"What should I do, what should I do......", someone roared with red eyes, eight people had already been caught by the man-eating tree, and their hunter team lost one-third of their combat power at once.
However, just as they were at a loss, and when those who were entangled were desperate, a figure suddenly rushed out of the dense forest behind them, and the speed was so fast that none of them reacted.
After this figure appeared, it directly spanned a distance of more than ten meters and nearly twenty meters, and suddenly came to the sandy ground, and quickly rushed towards the man-eating tree.
Suddenly, ...... appearance of this person, the ground was splashed with mud and sand, and one branch after another bounced up, like a long whip towards him, however, in the face of more than a dozen branches, a snowy edge flashed in this person's hand, and in the sneering voice, those branches that looked like him were cut off.
Those severed branches were like living creatures, and even if they were cut off and squirmed on the ground, they had to twist a few times.
After a few ups and downs, after the man cut off the branches, the man had already rushed quickly towards the cannibal tree, and in a few seconds, he had already come to the bottom of the cannibal tree.
"Who's that, such a fast speed", someone said dumbfounded, with a look of surprise on his face, forgetting to shoot.
This person is naturally Ling Tao who rushed here, as soon as he came here, he saw the situation here at a glance, and then he didn't hesitate to make a move, just doing it, and he couldn't delay much time.
This man-eating tree may be terrifying in the eyes of those below who are not much more powerful than ordinary people, but for Ling Tao, there is not much threat at all, he can shoot more than ten times a second, and those branches are impossible to entangle him.
Ling Tao, who came to the bottom of the tree, jumped up four or five meters high, waved the broadsword in his hand, a sharp edge flashed, and in the sound of fluttering, the branches were cut off, and those who were entangled fell one after another.
When he returned to the ground, he swung his broadsword to cut off the branches that had been drawn, and he grabbed the people on the ground and threw them into the distance, shouting, "Catch them......."
After speaking, the first person was thrown out by him, crossed a distance of dozens of meters, and smashed the crowd in the distance.
The people in the distance were shocked, is this person a monster? A person of more than 100 pounds threw dozens of meters like throwing a small stone!
However, at this time, they were not allowed to think too much, and they went to pick up people, Rao is Ling Tao used dexterity and did not use it, but after taking the next person, he still let a few people who picked up people roll on the ground, but fortunately, they were not injured.
However, at this time, Ling Tao under the cannibal tree threw away all the people he rescued one after another, and after all the people in the distance caught it, the bearded man came out, and no one was standing anymore, and they were all discouraged.
All this happened too quickly, from Ling Tao's appearance to the rescue and throwing people over, the whole process was only more than ten seconds.
When Ling Tao threw everyone out, no, it should be said that when he first came here, the countless branches of the man-eating tree began to swing, surging towards him like snakes.
In the face of so many branches, the broadsword in Ling Tao's hand danced like a curtain of light, and the branches were cut off in a sneering voice, and he was distracted by two uses, and his body was pumped several times, but fortunately, after he threw all the people out, he would be able to concentrate on dealing with this tree.
"This kind of monster is comparable to a monster, you can't keep it", Ling Tao said to himself in his heart, wielded his broadsword, cut off a lot of branches, and came to the big tree in two steps, and the broadsword in his hand slashed diagonally, using the greatest strength, a sword slashed at the trunk of this cannibal tree.
......, Ling Tao poured all his strength into the sword, and actually slashed into most of it, but due to the diameter of the cannibal tree and the length of the broadsword, this sword only cut off about one-third of it.
However, this sword with all his strength made Ling Tao's broadsword break, broken from the hilt, and the sword body was stuck in the trunk.
With a jump of eyelids, Ling Tao rolled on the spot without hesitation, dodging some branches at the same time, he pulled out the dagger in his boots, and his arm almost danced into an afterimage, cutting off the branches one by one.
"Throw a knife and ......," Ling Tao shouted at the people in the distance as he fought the branches.
The stunned people on the side reacted after hearing Ling Tao's words and threw a knife far away.
Ling Tao leaned forward, caught the long knife, cut off the branches in front of him, came to the tree again, and slashed down from the other side, with a bang, he cut in a third again, however, his strength was too great, after this knife, the steel knife broke from the handle again.
"Not enough, two more," Ling Tao yelled.
With a bang, ...... two knives were thrown over again.
Ling Tao picked up, grabbed a knife at the same time, kicked the other one, and came to the subordinate two steps after landing, and slashed on the trunk of the tree again, rolled on the spot, grabbed the other hand, and slashed it in the last direction.
The ...... clicks and the handle breaks.
But at this time, Ling Tao, who had been slashed four times in a row, finally cut off the trunk of the man-eating tree, and after cutting it, those writhing branches suddenly stiffened and fell weakly.
He kicked the trunk of the tree, and the tree slowly fell, and as it quickly retreated, the tree fell to the ground with a splash of dust.
"It's finally solved, but it's a pity that my broadsword has to be bought anew," Ling Tao shook his head at the fallen tree and muttered to himself.
Immediately, he turned to look at the group of hunters, nodded as he went, and said, "Okay guys, it's okay now, I should leave too."
"Little brother, no, hero, don't go yet, how can we repay the grace of saving our lives"? The bearded man at the head hurriedly said.
Ling Tao was stunned for a moment, seeing the sincerity in the other party's eyes, I don't know why, I felt very satisfied and happy in my heart, different from the desperate eyes of those who were killed by myself, the other party's eyes made Ling Tao's heart warm.
"It turns out that doing good deeds is this feeling", Ling Tao said secretly in his heart.
Just as he was about to say no to the other party, Ling Tao saw a frightened look in the other party's eyes and pointed at Ling Tao's back.
Ling Tao's heart jumped, and he turned to look, and a brown tree root smacked towards him.
"Be careful......", at this time, the bearded voice came in horror. (To be continued)
