Chapter 659: The Fall of the Mutant Plant
In the end, the undead hero still failed to catch up with Hu Siming and Xu Guang.
With Hu Siming helping to delay behind, Xu Guang quickly distanced himself. Just over ten seconds later, Hu Siming's Flame Sun Cord and the flashcard he had used before both cooled down. With the non-directional scorching sun rope and the 650 displacement of the flash card, Hu Siming also calmly got rid of the undead hero and broke away from the battle with Xu Guang.
This second fork in the road cannot be entered again for the time being.
The two turned back to square one, entered a fork in the road on the right, and continued to explore the terrain and clean up the monsters. Calculating that the time was almost up, Hu Siming and Xu Guangcai returned to the pit in the crack of the ground and climbed back to the ground along the rope.
In less than half a day, the surrounding scene has changed dramatically.
When the two of them went down from the entrance of the underground cave, there was a forest outside, littered with dead branches and vines. Now, within a radius of 100 meters, a small outpost has begun to take shape. Although there is only a fence spawned by a tree vine on the periphery, and there is only an elven ancient tree and a war ancient tree inside the site, it is much better than before. The ten diligent Treants continued to collect timber resources, supplemented by some other resources given by the Academy before leaving, preparing to train more Treant soldiers.
"Good job. ”
Hu Siming and Xu Guang couldn't help but whistle, and the bored Yan Shaoou and them, seeing the two returning, were also in good spirits and surrounded them one after another.
After a few minutes of description, Yan Shaoou, Shi Niu and Yu Gaowu had a general understanding of the following situation.
After ordering the treeman soldiers to guard their homes and giving orders to the treemen soldiers who were training, Hu Siming and Xu Guang took three teammates to return to the underground cave labyrinth along the crack passage in the ground. Two men who had already explored once led the way, and this time the five of them were moving fast. Not long after, they came to the same place where they had encountered the undead hero earlier.
The fierce battle is still there, but the mighty undead is gone.
This disappointed all five of them.
After searching the neighborhood for a while, and finding no traces, they could only continue to explore in the established direction. Soon, the concentration of toxins in the air increased again, and soon rose above 10 points per second.
Hu Siming immediately realized that there was another damn poisonous flower tree nearby.
With the strength of the two heroes, he and Xu Guang, they will be able to ignore this poisonous blood consumption for a while. But Yan Shaoou and the three of them are far inferior regardless of the upper limit of blood and recovery speed, and if they support it for a minute at most, they will enter a more dangerous situation. Therefore, the five people who knew that they could not delay began to hurry up and look for the location of the poisonous flower tree nearby.
Due to the changes in the concentration of toxins and the fragrance of the flowers, about half a minute later, Hu Siming and Xu Guang found the highly poisonous flower tree next to a new maze fork in the road ahead.
But this time, things are different.
The flowers and trees that the two encountered when they first entered the underground labyrinth were all single, and there were no other plants nearby. But at present, there are at least five or six flowers and trees at this fork in the road, which are connected into one. In the center of these poisonous flowers, there is a strange plant about eight meters high, and the top of the canopy is about to reach the cave wall. It's like the stars holding the moon, surrounded by flowers and trees.
Regarding this obviously problematic scene, Hu Siming and Xu Guang did not dare to act rashly.
On a highly poisonous flower tree, there are dozens of Zumawi poisonous insects parasitizing. Five or six flowers and trees together, God knows how many poisonous insects there are on it. And the plants that are surrounded by these flowers and trees in the middle are even less likely to be good stubble. From its steel needle-like leaves and fist-sized dark green fruits, you can feel the aura of danger.
On the omniscient eye, a part of it is written.
This is a plant that has been gradually dying out in the last 100 years, and it is called steel leaf hibiscus. The reason why there is only part of the information is because the plant in front of you is mutated. Although it used to be a steel leaf hibiscus, I don't know how many years after falling into the ground, I already have completely different abilities.
Since this thing is stuck in a fork in the road, it is obviously not possible to leave it alone, and going back and forth will cause trouble more than once.
So, the best thing to do is to clean it up.
After greeting his teammates, Hu Siming swung a few sword qi from afar, crushing the nearby flowers and trees. Not surprisingly, a large number of Zumawi poisonous insects swarmed out and chased after Hu Siming, the culprit. Although there are a lot of them, the help of the three of them, as well as the illusion of the water element and the twisted phantom skull, effectively share the pressure. Hu Siming relied on his fire cover to kill poisonous insects on a large scale. After a lot of effort, they were finally wiped out completely.
After resting for a while, and waiting for the skill CD and the concentration of toxins in the air to decrease, the five of them found this strange mutant plant.
In the dark underground, the plant's perception is not very developed. It wasn't until they got very close, and Yan Shaoou even launched an attack from a distance, that the mutant plant sensed the abnormality. The branches and leaves like steel needles swayed in panic for a moment, and when they found that the students kept attacking, they suddenly became anxious and began a crazy counterattack.
As soon as he made a move, he had the power to make the faces of the five people change in unison.
On a long branch, there are twenty or thirty steel needle leaves, like needle rain towards the five ****. Due to the small size of this needle, even if it is fast, there is no special sound, and it is difficult to accurately detect and lock in the dimness. While Yan Shaoou and the others hurriedly dodged, the flexible and strong roots of the tree rose and fell under the stone slab, and suddenly rushed out of the ground and whipped nearby.
Attacks from both the front and the underground, and more than one tree root, caused the five cadets to run into a bit of trouble. As a mage, he had the lowest basic footwork level among the five, and he was the first to be stabbed by the leaves of the steel needle tree. The additional force on the needle made his body shake a little. Just like that, three or four needles came one after another, and all of them were shot.
Each needle hit sixty or seventy points of actual damage!
In a short period of time, Yan Shaoou's HP was knocked out by one-third.
There is no way, the mage who is single and weak is an elite student, and in this case it is the easiest to suffer. In contrast, Hu Siming and Xu Guang are much better. The super high strength stat allows them to ignore the stiffness attached to the needle. And the innate suppression of the hero armor, the armor of up to a dozen points, combined with the equipment and skill damage reduction, made the seemingly threatening coniferous rain only cause tickling damage to the two of them.
However, the fact that coniferous rain is generally harmful does not mean that this mutated plant has no other means.
On its canopy, there are at least two dozen fist-sized dark green fruits!
Ordinary needles can do such damage, and tree roots can also rush out of the ground to whip enemies, Hu Siming didn't believe that those strange fruits would have no effect. For the next few rounds of attacks, he kept an eye out for the fruits. His intuition told him that the fruit could pose a far greater threat than a needle.
Three waves of coniferous rain in a row were fired, but they failed to really kill the enemy, and the roots of the tree were also cut off, which made the mutant plants a little panicked. After a moment of restless swaying, the canopy finally used its killer weapon.
Four fruits fell from the canopy and rolled to the feet of the five people.
"Spread out!"
Hu Siming reminded his teammates loudly, and he simply turned around and took out his card. Purple light flashed, flashing 650 distance.
Yan Shaoou also reacted quickly, and directly used the druid's hurricane scepter to blow himself into the sky. The effect of this treasure is similar to that of a wind staff, and it is a treasure that he had last year, and he can blow himself into the sky to dodge skills.
The other people didn't have any effective skills, and although they had the intention to dodge, they were a little slower after all.
Boom Boom!
Four explosions rang out almost simultaneously, bringing about an area of effect similar to that of a goblin mine. Not only that, but these exploding dark green fruits also released a strong poisonous smoke, almost enveloping the radius of more than ten meters. As long as they are within range of toxic smoke, the trainee will receive 30 points per second of continuous poison.
Yan Shaoou did not dare to be careless, and quickly withdrew from the scope of poisonous smoke.
Rao is like this, and then look at his own blood volume, how much is already half blood. Yan Shaoou, who has the lowest HP, has carried the previous rain of needles, explosion damage, and poisonous smoke, and the halo of life has fallen to red and black!
This made the three elite students scared and frightened - it was still a bit reluctant to venture here with elite-level strength. If the reaction is slower, or if the mutant plant throws a few more fruits at a time, maybe a set of damage can kill them in seconds.
"If you don't become a hero, you can't do it!"
Coincidentally, the three of them sighed in their hearts. Take Xu Guang as an example, not long ago he was on the same level as them. It didn't take long for them to become heroes, and their strength left them far behind in the blink of an eye. The output that can kill the elite in seconds is only a certain threat to Xu Guang.
The most direct change in the companions around them has stimulated their hearts to become heroes more and more.
In the last exam of this sophomore year, it was obviously too late. And the upcoming junior year was pinned on by the three of them. They must cross the last obstacle during this time period and enter the supreme realm of heroes!
In ten seconds, the poisonous fog dissipated.
Yan Shaoou and the three of them have not yet recovered, and they have stayed behind for the time being. Hu Siming and Xu Guang dispersed and stepped forward to attack again. Before two rounds were played, three more dark green fruits were thrown down.
This made Hu Siming feel helpless.
The fruit's chain explosion and poison smoke's 30 HP/s damage are really amazing. Before they had exhausted the fruit on the tree, it seemed that they would not be able to do anything to the mutant plant.
Fortunately, its HP recovery speed was not very fast, and there were only more than twenty fruits in total.
After some entanglement, when the fruit was finally consumed, the five people who were relieved rushed up. Although the needles and roots that broke through the soil still caused a lot of trouble, they were unable to stop it in the end, and were pushed down by Hu Siming's critical blow. Without the support of its magical power, the cyan flames quickly engulfed its body and burned it to ashes.
In the dim light of the fire, Hu Siming vaguely noticed that it seemed to have dropped something.
