Chapter 176: Replica

The tree that seemed to grow in hell gave Ji Zhan a great shock, its roots were entrenched in a huge pit several meters deep, the pit was full of corpses, the dark green trunk was crowded with human faces, the thriving branches stretched wantonly, and even inserted into the surrounding stone walls, and the half-human-high fruits fell on the branches in rows, nearly fifteen meters from the ground, which was the height at which humans would desperately look up.

There are indeed a large number of fire source stones in this mountain, and the heat provided by these fire source stones perfectly isolates the cold wave from the outside world, providing a suitable growth environment for this human tree.

The human tree in front of him was far larger than the one he had encountered in the mansion group before, and the fire source stones embedded in the surrounding stone walls shimmered with a crimson light, like a spark of stars, which also gave this human tree a sense of bloody cruelty.

Ji Zhan lowered his eyes and saw that the humanoid monsters gathered under the tree extended a pipe from their bodies, and the other end of the pipe was connected to the roots of the tree, as if they were building some connection.

The humanoid monsters had already discovered Ji Zhan, and they were all ready to move.

Ji Zhan didn't have any sympathy or pity for this disgusting thing, and pulled the trigger, and the blue beam of light rushed out from the muzzle of the quantum gun.

The humanoid monster screamed in the blue embers, and these humanoid monsters below were not what Ji Zhan was most worried about.

Ji Zhan was most worried about the fruits above.

There are more than a hundred fruits hanging from the branches, but there is one that is so special that you can see the difference at a glance.

The fruit on the human tree was more like the shape of a cocoon, half a man tall, and all of them were cloudy green on the outside, but there was only one fruit hidden in the innermost partโ€”

It's crimson.

Ji Zhan didn't dare to break the fruit on it easily, she adjusted the firepower of the hand-held cannon to the maximum, obviously planning to directly solve the human tree in front of her in one go.

To put it bluntly, this human tree is a mother monster, as long as the mother monster dies, the little monster that is bred will not survive.

However, just as Ji Zhan eliminated all the humanoid monsters below and was about to aim for the tree trunk, there was a "poof" sound overhead.

The slime inside the crimson fruit leaked out of the crack, and a mass of something slid down with it, falling from the top of the tree more than ten meters high to the ground.

"Gollum ......"

It seemed to be the sound of a heartbeat, and I saw that the bloody and blurred thing was completely wrapped in a film, and the next moment, the thing inside broke through the film and crawled out.

When Ji Zhan saw the monster's face clearly, his pupils constricted, and the quantum gun in his hand that had accumulated power subconsciously deviated from its original trajectory, but went straight towards the newborn thing.

Suddenly, dust rose and rubble splattered.

Ji Zhan's heart was beating fast, and she stared at the smoke that slowly dispersed.

Then a humanoid figure slowly walked out of the smoke.

If the deformed bodies of those humanoid monsters before were because they were not fully developed, then the monster standing in front of Ji Zhan now was bred by absorbing sufficient nutrients.

Its body is almost indistinguishable from that of a human, except that its skin is abnormally white, and there are several large patches of carrion on its exposed skin.

But just now, Ji Zhan did not hesitate to give up attacking the crystal nucleus of the mother monster, and also attacked this humanoid monster first-

It's because this humanoid monster is a replica of her.

That's right, at this moment, this humanoid monster is facing Ji Zhan's face, although there are still imperfections, but Ji Zhan can see that it is her appearance, even the length of her hair is the same, but the gray and white eyes can easily distinguish it from humans.

The humanoid monster stood under a tree with piles of bones, its head looking down as if to look at its body curiously, and then pulled a piece of clothing from a dry skeleton and put it on in a comical motion.

Ji Zhan's breath was suffocated, this monster has its own thinking......

No!

Such a monster cannot exist!

The only thing that humans have in front of monsters is intelligence, and if monsters begin to evolve their own thinking, the future human civilization will one day be overshadowed.

Ji Zhan's eyes showed ferocity, and the gun in her hand that she had turned on the maximum firepower shot out an ultra-high temperature light wave.

The humanoid monster below realized the danger, and actually ran out of Ji Zhan's attack range at an extremely fast speed, although its appearance was almost indistinguishable from that of a human, but except for its appearance, it had not completely copied a human in all other aspects.

After feeling the threat at this moment, the face of the humanoid monster became hideous and terrifying, and it also landed on all fours when it ran, and after capturing Ji Zhan's target, it rushed towards Ji Zhan at an extremely fast speed.

Ji Zhan saw the humanoid monster coming towards her, but she didn't let go of the trigger at the moment, but directly swept towards the human tree with the power of the quantum cannon, like a saw.

As long as the mother dies, everything is over.

However, the human tree also responded, and it instantly wrapped a large number of vines around the trunk, delaying the damage caused to it by the power of the quantum cannon.

The fruit on the branches broke one after another, and new humanoid monsters fell, and they all pounced on Ji Zhan.

The quantum gun in Ji Zhan's hand was almost overloaded with energy, and the continuous high-power output made the weight of the gun rise rapidly.

Suddenly, an outstretched hand grabbed Ji Zhan's ankle and dragged Ji Zhan off it.

Ji Zhan slid down the pit and untied the strap of the quantum gun at the same time, without the weight of the quantum gun, Ji Zhan pulled out the short knife from behind his waist and held it in his hand.

Ji Zhan jumped down with the force of the monster's grabbing her ankle and pulling it down, and the short knife neatly eliminated the humanoid monster.

However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a strong wind hit her from the front.

Ji Zhan leaned back, staring at the humanoid monster that copied her appearance in astonishment, her gray-white eyes were hollow, obviously not human, but she still had a human face!

Ji Zhan raised his foot and kicked at it, but the monster in front of him did not know how to dodge like the previous monsters, but raised his arm to minimize the damage when Ji Zhan's calf swept over.

This kind of fighting consciousness made Ji Zhan wonder for a while whether it was the monster who copied her, or the self-consciousness that the monster generated after dominating the human-like body......

Ji Zhan gritted his teeth, not giving the monster any respite, and swung the short knife in its face.

The monster dodged with agility, and even when Ji Zhan was pressing, it could find a gap to counterattack, and then gradually grasped the initiative to attack.

There are other monsters in the way, as well as the burden on the heart, and at this moment Ji Zhan's situation has become a little passive.

Ji Zhan turned from offense to defense, while slowly calming down, and began to gather mental strength.

Use the Spirit of Words ability to get rid of them all at once. That's what Ji Zhan intended.
