Chapter 7: The Great Banyan Tree

Chen Mo lay on the ground for about 10 minutes, got up from the ground and walked towards the body of the big snake. Chen Mo opened the head of the big snake with a long knife and found that there was a light blue crystal inside, which was the so-called energy crystal, and the evolutionary could become stronger by absorbing the energy crystal.

Chen Mo felt that his luck was good, you must know that not every mutant has "energy crystals" in their heads, and the lower the mutants and zombies, the less likely it is that there are "energy crystals" in their brains.

Chen Mo put the energy crystal in his backpack and prepared to use it when he became an evolutionary. Although it is now possible to absorb energy crystals to strengthen the body, the act of devouring energy crystals before absorbing the star core is undoubtedly very wasteful. After absorbing the star core, it will produce a star source in the brain domain, and the energy of the energy crystal can be purified through the star source to nourish the body more effectively. If you devour the energy crystal when there is no star source in the brain domain, the energy of the energy crystal will directly overflow to all parts of the body, and most of the energy of the energy crystal will be wasted.

Chen Mo went all the way up, and was in danger several times on the way, if it weren't for Chen Mo's five-year fighting experience in the last days, just an ordinary "awakener" would have become a meal on the plate of mutants.

Crossing the rocks in front of him, Chen Mo's vision suddenly widened, and he finally reached the top of the mountain. At this time, Chen Mo already had three light blue crystals in his backpack.

The top of the Thousand Buddha Mountain is a neat plane, as if someone has cut off the tip of the mountain.

On one side of the hilltop is a dense forest, and next to the woods is a group of stone Buddha statues, except for the woods and Buddha statues, what remains is a large open space, where students who come to the top of the mountain to see the snow set up camp every winter.

Chen Mo first observed in the open space, but found nothing. Chen Mo looked at the woods not far away and hesitated in his heart.

Chen Mo had a hunch that there must be something in the woods, and whenever the thought of entering the woods rose in his heart, he would always be frightened, and in the last five years, this intuition saved Chen Mo several times.

Although there may be dangers in the woods that he can't deal with, he can't let Chen Mo return the same way, that "star core" is too important, whether he can control his own destiny in this life depends on whether he can get this star core.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Mo took out his long knife and slowly walked towards the woods.

The woods are not too big, but they are very dark, and it is obviously broad daylight, and Chen Mo's body is inexplicably a little more chilly.

Not long after entering the woods, Chen Mo felt a strange energy fluctuation, "It seems to be nothing, it is plausible," Chen Mo was shocked in his heart, and said secretly, "It seems that the star core is in the woods."

Chen Mo was not carried away by the surprise, but became more and more cautious, because as he advanced, the sense of danger became stronger and stronger.

As time passed, Chen Mo could feel that the energy fluctuations were getting stronger and stronger, and he knew that it was almost there.

Chen Mo was in front of him a huge banyan tree, the crown of the tree was hundreds of square meters, and there were no other plants in the shadow under the canopy, that is, under the canopy of the banyan tree, there was a big pit, and in the big pit was floating a strange crystal emitting red light, and streams of energy fluctuations of "seeming to be nothing, plausible" were emanating from the crystal.

Chen Mo knew that this crystal was the goal of his trip.

Chen Mo didn't immediately step forward to collect the "Star Core", because he found that the huge banyan tree was a little unusual.

The canopy of the banyan tree is not static, the canopy is swinging regularly, and it is definitely not blown by the mountain wind. Chen Mo's heart sank, he knew that it would be very difficult to get that star core, and he might die because of it.

"The plant mutant, sure enough, I still encountered it" Chen Mo knew that his current ability alone would definitely not be able to defeat this terrifying existence. However, Chen Mo also knew that this time his target was the star core, not to kill this terrifying plant mutant.

Although the plant-based mutant is powerful, his body cannot move, and Chen Mo, who knows this, is much more relieved, which means that his operation to capture the star core will have a few more chances of success.

Chen Mo stepped back, sat down on the spot when he retreated to a relatively safe place, took out the food and water in his backpack, and ate a beautiful meal. After eating, Chen Mo closed his eyes and slowly recovered his exerted physical strength. It will be a vicious fight in a while, and Chen Mo must ensure that his body is in peak condition.

After about an hour, Chen Mo stood up and walked towards the big banyan tree.

Chen Mo stood outside the shadow of the canopy and carefully looked at the banyan tree. After some consideration, Chen Mo was sure that this banyan tree definitely had the strength of the second order or even above, and it was just unimaginable that it had an existence of more than the second order at the beginning of the last days. The big snake that Chen Mo encountered in the woods at the bottom of the mountain was only a first-order beginner. I thought that it would be very rare to have a first-order primary mutant in the first few days of the end of the world, but I didn't expect this big banyan tree to have such terrifying strength. With Wu Mo's current strength, he can deal with first-order intermediate mutants at most, and if he goes up, he just feeds the mutants in vain.

Chen Mo slowly approached the banyan tree, and when he reached the shadow of the banyan tree's canopy, he half-squatted down, and then remained motionless. He only had this one chance, and if he missed this time, this star core would be missing him again.

Chen Mo half-squatted his body, adjusted his body to the easiest state to exert force, and then slowed down his breathing and waited quietly.

There was a sudden silence in the woods, and there was no sound except for the occasional mountain breeze.

A large white cloud floated overhead, and the shadow cast by the white cloud shrouded the entire mountaintop.

"Whoosh!" Chen Mo moved, like a predatory cheetah, rushing towards the star core with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Mo came to the star core, and before he had time to think, he reached out and firmly grasped the star core in his hand.

The moment Chen Mo grabbed the star core, the banyan tree suddenly shook violently, and the canopy made a "brush" sound in the air.

Seeing this, Chen Mo was horrified, and hurriedly concentrated all his body strength on his legs, kicked the ground violently, turned around and rushed out of the woods.

That is, at the moment when Chen Mo turned around, the ground around the banyan tree burst open, shooting out hideous roots from it, and in a blink of an eye, the roots exploded towards Chen Mo.

Chen Mo heard the sound, turned his head to look, and was immediately frightened, and then ran desperately out of the woods.

"Boom!" Chen Mo rolled on one side to avoid the tree roots that shot directly behind him, and watched the ground be pierced by the roots like tofu with a big hole, and a chill rose in his heart, if this was rooted in his body, he would never be able to live.

Chen Mo got up from the ground with a rolling belt, and ran wildly out of the woods with all his strength, along the way he heard the sound of the surrounding trees being swept off by the roots of the banyan tree, Chen Mo accelerated the swing of his legs, his legs were overloaded, and Chen Mo could even hear the sound of leg muscles tearing.

Suddenly, two tree roots went around in front of Chen Mo, one left and one right outflanked Chen Mo, the tree roots were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they came to Chen Mo is face, Chen Mo rolled forward, and he could avoid the attack of the two roots, and before Chen Mo could breathe a sigh of relief, a strong sense of danger gushed out from his heart.

Unexpectedly, there were more than two tree roots that went around in front of Chen Mo, and there was a third tree root ambush in front of him, and it swept towards Chen Mo violently when Chen Mo's old strength was just exhausted.
