Chapter 8: Falling off the Cliff

Chen Mo was horrified, and hurriedly let his body fall backwards as quickly as possible, making an iron plate waist, and in an instant, the hard roots of the tree swept backwards against the tip of Chen Mo's nose. Chen Mo exerted his strength with one hand, and as soon as he supported the ground behind him, the whole person stood up again, and before he had time to observe the situation behind him, he exerted force with his feet and continued to run forward.

The roots of the big banyan tree are still chasing after him, if it weren't for Chen Mo's combat experience in the previous life, if he was a different person, he would have died several times. However, the current situation is not optimistic, whenever Chen Mo is about to escape from the grove and get rid of the coverage of the roots of the big banyan tree, he will always be violently attacked by the big banyan tree. After all, Chen Mo's current physical strength is limited, and it can't be compared to the big banyan tree that is a mutant species, after this period of chasing, Chen Mo can already feel that his physical strength is gradually exhausted. If this continues, he will definitely become the nourishment that nourishes this banyan tree.

Chen Mo's brain was running rapidly, thinking about all feasible plans, but in the end they were all vetoed. His current strength is still too weak, this big banyan tree must have the strength of the fourth order, but it is ridiculous that he naively thought that this banyan tree was only of the second order. If he had known that the big banyan tree had such strength, Chen Mo would definitely not be so reckless to brush his tiger whiskers. But it's come to this, and now I can only find a way to get out.

Chen Mo dodged sideways, dodging the roots that stabbed at him, the roots were still sharp, leaving a chilling hole in the ground. Chen Mo was half-squatting on the ground, his Achilles tendon was tense, and he was about to eject out, when suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a cliff in front of him. In a flash of thought, Chen Mo turned around and ran towards the left front. After chasing and fleeing for a few rounds, Chen Mo had already figured out the situation of the cliff. The slope of the cliff is not steep, and the cliff face is overgrown with shrubs and vines. Chen Mo estimated that if he jumped off the cliff, he would roll down according to the slope of the cliff, and with the buffer of shrubs and vines along the way, he should not be in danger of his life when he fell to the bottom of the mountain.

Chen Mo knew that this cliff might be his only chance of life, and if he continued to stay in the woods, he would definitely be killed by this great banyan tree with fourth-order strength. The root system of this big banyan tree is almost all over the forest, and its strength may exceed the fourth order, in the early stage of the last days, it is almost an invincible existence, but fortunately, the plant mutant species cannot move, which also makes Chen Mo feel a little more comforted.

Chen Mo jumped left and right, dodging the attacking tree roots, and gradually got closer and closer to the cliff. Dodging again, Chen Mo was only less than ten meters away from the cliff. In an instant, Chen Mo rushed towards the cliff with lightning speed, and when he was only five meters away from the cliff, Chen Mo exerted his legs, jumped forward, and jumped towards the cliff.

Suddenly, at the moment when Chen Mo was about to touch the cliff, an arm-thick tree root broke out of the ground from the cliff and stabbed towards Chen Mo fiercely. Chen Mo felt a burst of despair in his heart, he was in the air and couldn't borrow his strength, he was completely a live target for the roots of the tree.

"Poof!" Before Chen Mo could react, the roots of the tree ran through Chen Mo's chest.

"Wow!" Chen Mo spat out a mouthful of blood, then firmly grasped the root of the tree with one hand, and grinned: "The tiger is not powerful, you really treat me as a sick cat!" With his other hand, he drew a long knife from behind his back and slashed at the roots.

"Sting!" Unexpectedly, the roots of this tree were extremely hard, and the long knife made of black steel only appeared a gap on it, and it was not directly broken. A dark green slime splattered out of the opening, like human blood.

As Chen Mo's long knife fell, the roots of the tree twitched, and Chen Mo swayed wildly in the air, which made Chen Mo feel a heart-rending pain again. Although the blood in his mouth continued to overflow, Chen Mo still firmly grasped the root of the tree that ran through his chest, and with his other hand, he held the black steel knife tightly and slashed at the gap in the root again.

"Sting!" With a knife down, the gap is deeper. What followed was a more violent twisting of the tree roots, and the roots of the tree swayed wildly, wanting to pull out of Chen Mo's chest, but Chen Mo could never do what he wanted. Still firmly grasping the roots of the tree, and slashing towards the gap.

"Click!" Finally, at the same time as Chen Mo's fifth knife fell, the root of the tree was broken.

As soon as the roots of the tree were broken, Chen Mo immediately rolled down the cliff to the bottom of the mountain, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, in the center of the hilltop forest, the big banyan tree is shaking, the huge crown is shaking violently, and the ground around it is shaking. The violent shaking came and went quickly, and in a moment, the canopy of the big banyan tree returned to its former state. Only the traces of that place are indicative of the fierce battle here not long ago.

Chen Mo rolled all the way, and his body was marked with blood by the shrubs and vines on the cliff wall. But at this moment, Chen Mo couldn't feel these subtle pains anymore.

The roots of the tree caused great damage to Chen Mo's lungs, and his breathing became more and more difficult, and his consciousness became more and more blurred, and his condition was very bad.

The roots of the tree passed through his chest, causing great damage to his body, coupled with Chen Mo's fierce swing of the knife against the root that pierced into his chest just now, now Chen Mo's body is close to exhaustion. Fortunately, the roots of the tree did not hurt the heart, otherwise Chen Mo would have died at this moment.

Fortunately, Chen Mo didn't have to worry about turning into a zombie, because the awakened had antibodies, and the level of virus antibodies varied according to the degree of development of their brain domains. Theoretically, Chen Mo's brain domain development is 100%, and he is completely immune to these viruses.

"Poof!" Chen Mo fell heavily on the grass at the foot of the mountain.

Chen Mo struggled to open his eyes, but at this moment Chen Mo was on the verge of death, he didn't have the strength to open his eyes at all, his upper and lower eyelids seemed to have a thousand pounds of weight, and the actions that he was used to easily on weekdays were even more difficult at the moment.

Chen Mo felt as if he was in a dark situation at the moment, and in the darkness, he couldn't distinguish between up and down, left and right, southeast and northwest. The only thing that can be deeply felt is the endless cold, which seems to come from the deepest part of hell and acts directly on the human soul. The cold that freezes the soul makes people feel endless despair.

The endless cold eroded Chen Mo's body little by little, and slowly, a layer of solid ice spread upwards from the soles of his feet. Soles, insteps, ankles, calves, knees, thighs...... Little by little, the ice spread upwards, and gradually, even the head was covered.

With the cover of solid ice, Chen Mo's body temperature also decreased little by little, slowly approaching 0 degrees.

Just before Chen Mo's body temperature was about to disappear completely, a burst of light suddenly erupted from his heart, and the light was pale blue, giving people a warm feeling.

The light blue light became more and more intense, and with the explosion of the light blue light, the ice on Chen Mo's body was also melting little by little. At the moment when the ice melted away, the pale blue light seemed to consume all the energy, and slowly dissipated into nothingness.
