"Be careful......

Wang Tao took Jiang Shixue into the cave together.

After careful consideration, Wang Tao decided to come down and take a look. After all, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!

He hesitated because he didn't know what was in the cave. But now that he saw the Power Mushroom, he knew it was worth taking.

After all, the Strength Mushroom is the core material of the Strength Elixir (Small), and with this thing, he can make the Strength Elixir by himself!

The power potions in Wang Tao's hands were all burst out from the zombies, and there were not many of them, so he was reluctant to use them......

Xu Xiaojun didn't follow, he couldn't see at night, and he suffered a lot in this kind of place. Wang Tao asked him to guard the off-road vehicle outside, and if there was really any irresistible danger, he could also drive them in time.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue's eyes glowed with red-green light, and they cautiously came to the side of the power mushroom.

The shape and size of the Power Mushroom is similar to that of a normal mushroom, but upon closer inspection, you can see that the white mushroom has some small red dots.

"Can you eat this thing......

Wang Tao usually likes to eat mushrooms, but he eats all the mushrooms he buys seriously, and he has never eaten wild ones.

The small red dot on this power mushroom looks unusual, and the introduction also said that if you eat a mushroom, although you can get a temporary increase in strength, you will fall into the illusion of a certain period of time.

It's just not how it tastes, but if it's really delicious, it doesn't matter if you fall into a little hallucination or something? It's not fatal anyway......

Shaking his head, Wang Tao hurriedly threw off his idea of being a foodie. Even if you want to eat it, you have to let someone else try it.

And now there are very few of these mushrooms, and it is not enough to make potions, and it is too luxurious to eat them as food......

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue picked all these mushrooms.

There are a total of 14 mushrooms, and each mushroom can make 5 power potions, so that's 70 power potions! In the future, you may be able to trade these power potions with others, or even sell them directly!

And this mushroom can be put into a space backpack, which is very convenient.

After putting away all these power mushrooms, we were already at the corner of the cave.

Wang Tao stretched out his head to take a look, there was no danger behind the corner, and there were still a lot of mushrooms. And there is also a mushroom with blue spots.

【Defensive Mushroom*1】

[Defense Mushroom: Crafting material, edible.] After consumption, defense can be briefly boosted, but it will be hallucinated for a certain period of time]

The introduction of defensive mushrooms and strength mushrooms is similar, except that one adds strength and the other adds defense.

Defense Mushrooms can be crafted into Defense Flasks (Small), which correspond to Strength Flasks (Small)!

"Continue ......"

And so it went all the way, passing through three corners. A total of 55 mushrooms and 58 defense mushrooms have been harvested!

At this time, the road ahead is finally different.

Deep in the cavern, there is a huge space, where there are no power mushrooms, but there are many tree roots that are coiled and entangled.

Wang Tao looked at those tree roots and suddenly looked vigilant.

Because these roots have a blood bar!

【73426/100000】

"100,000 HP, but not full HP...... Was it burned by fire? ”

Wang Tao was a little curious.

These tree roots show no stats other than a health bar...... This made Wang Tao think of the 100,000 blood flesh and blood in the night demon's lair, and he felt that the two were a bit similar.

Seeing these blood bars, Wang Tao wanted to chop two axes, but he didn't know what was going on for the time being, so he held back.

It's a big space, and it's full of tree roots, and inside the roots, there are some human bones...... It is estimated that it should be a zombie. Wang Tao didn't understand the relationship between these tree roots and zombies.

"Brother, here."

Jiang Shixue suddenly pulled Wang Tao's clothes, and then pointed to a place.

Wang Tao followed the sound and was stunned.

More than a dozen zombies were fiercely entangled by the roots, and the roots were stuck in the mouths of these zombies, as if they were still surging...... It looks very astringent.

"What the hell is this?"

Wang Tao couldn't understand it, but he was shocked.

Most of these zombies are first-order zombies, but there are also two second-order zombies, they are both remnant blood, but they are not dead, and they are still struggling desperately.

Wang Tao thought that these tree roots were going to kill or eat these zombies, but after secretly observing for a while, he found that these tree roots seemed to have injected something into the zombies' mouths, and the zombies' blood volume was slowly increasing!

"What's going on...... this?"

Wang Tao frowned.

And Jiang Shixue's eyes lit up.

"Brother, I smell a very fragrant ......"

"Huh? Could it be a zombie culture fluid? ”

Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue.

"No, it tastes different......"

Jiang Shixue shook her head.

Wang Tao looked at the roots and zombies again.

The two of them had searched the underground space so far, and there was no other way but this space and the hole that meandered upward.

Obviously, the focus of this underground space is on the roots of these trees.

"Why don't you attack it?"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Tao threw a flying knife over.

【-5】

【73421/100000】

“……”

What the heck?

Wang Tao was a little dumbfounded, although the surgical knife is very brittle, and it is basically scrapped after using it once, but no matter how brittle it is, it will not hurt 5 points, right?

Wang Tao shook another shock wave.

【-15】

【73406/100000】

Wang Tao can be sure this time, it's not that the damage of his flying knife is low, but that the defense of this tree root is too high!

This is completely different from the flesh and blood in the night demon's lair before, although the flesh and blood is also 100,000 blood, but the defense is very low, and Wang Tao can destroy it in a few clicks.

But the defense of this root is too high, and his strongest attack can only do a dozen damages, so if he wants to destroy this root, even if the other party doesn't fight back, he will have to fight for several hours......

Wang Tao shot another arrow with a recurve bow, which was also more than ten points of damage.

After receiving Wang Tao's various attacks, the tree root did not react, as if ignoring Wang Tao.

Then Wang Tao shifted the target and shot the arrow at the zombies who were bound by the roots.

Phew-

【-4000】

【0/4000】

The first-order zombie's blood bar cleared, its head tilted, its body no longer struggled, and some milky white liquid flowed out of its mouth.

Brush –

The root that had been inserted into its mouth was immediately withdrawn, and a lot of white liquid could be seen on the root.

This time, there was no need for Jiang Shixue to say, Wang Tao also smelled a faint fragrance.

The source of the fragrance is the white liquid from the roots of the tree!

The roots waved at the air, as if angry and dissatisfied. Then the roots of the tree that were tied to the zombie slowly loosened and let go of the zombie.

Knock –

The zombie corpse falls to the ground.

The root, which had emitted a white liquid, retracted into the myriad roots.

"It's kind of interesting...... This root should be a plant, why would it help zombies improve their strength? ”

Wang Tao didn't understand, but since the roots of the tree didn't have any big reaction, then he was relieved.

So Wang Tao pulled up the recurve bow again and began to shoot at those zombies.

After a while, these dozen zombies were all easily dealt with by Wang Tao. They were all tied to the roots of the tree, and they couldn't move at all, so they were a living target.

Wang Tao also added 1300 blood, and the upper limit of blood volume reached 26150!

After all the dozen or so zombies died, the roots seemed to be a little violent, pumping into the air, and it took a while to regain their composure.

"It seems to be angry......"

Jiang Shixue suddenly whispered.

Wang Tao nodded, and then said with a headache:

"It seems that the final boss should be this tree root, but this thing's defense is too strong...... It doesn't work at all. And I still don't know what it is......"

If these tree roots can't attack, then Wang Tao will also consume it. But now it seems that this root is obviously capable of attacking, so it is impossible for him to consume it slowly......

"Try again!"

Wang Tao sneaked into the vicinity of the tree roots, and then hit the roots a few times. A few drops of blood fell from the roots, but nothing happened.

Wang Tao intensified his attack and knocked out more than a dozen drops of blood from the roots of the tree. At this time, the roots of the tree finally moved!

Several tree roots swung in the air, attacking with impunity.

Wang Tao wanted to try the damage of this root, so after he dodged a few roots, he deliberately resisted the attack of the last root.

Bang –

【-372】

【25778/26150】

Wang Tao was knocked away in an instant!

Whoosh –

Jiang Shixue hurriedly ran over to catch Wang Tao and prevented Wang Tao from crashing into the wall.

"Rub! The damage is so high! ”

Wang Tao was beaten with nearly 400 blood when the barrier was opened!

Although this amount of blood does not seem to be anything to Wang Tao's more than 20,000 blood. But this is only a tree root attack, if thousands or hundreds of tree roots attack together, I am afraid that Wang Tao will be beaten into meat sauce in an instant......

But it's not without good news.

After Wang Tao's test, it was found that these tree roots did not seem to have much intelligence, and they may not have any senses, so they could not observe the surrounding situation, even if Wang Tao walked in front of the tree roots, it could not find Wang Tao. Unless Wang Tao takes the initiative to attack it, but it is only a defiant attack, it does not mean that it sees where Wang Tao is......

If these roots were blind, they might be able to grind them to death!

Just when Wang Tao was thinking about whether to call Xu Xiaojun down and grind these roots to death together, Jiang Shixue suddenly said:

"Brother, why don't we burn it?"

“……”

Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly slapped his head.

"Xiaoxue is right! I almost forgot about the fire attack! ”

It stands to reason that plants should be more afraid of fire, and fire attack must not be a big problem.

And this terrain is special, there is only one access channel, and if it really burns up, it can't run even if it has legs.

Of course, the most important point is that these roots are not full of blood, and now there are only more than 70,000 blood, where did the more than 20,000 blood go? If nothing else, it may have been burned by the fire outside!

So, fire attack is absolutely doable!

"Go, go!"

Wang Tao hurriedly took Jiang Shixue's little hand and ran out.

"Brother Wang, are you all right?"

After Xu Xiaojun saw Wang Tao and the two come out, he hurriedly ran over.

"It's okay, there's a lot of attacking tree roots down there, the defense is too high to be able to fight at all, I'm going to burn it with fire!"

Wang Tao explained briefly.

There was still some gasoline left from before, but Wang Tao was afraid that it would not be enough, so he pumped out some of the oil in the car.

After preparing a full pot of gasoline, Wang Tao entered the cave again.

"We don't seem to have any grudges, but who made you a red blood bar......"

Wang Tao muttered silently, and then poured all the gasoline on the roots of the tree.

The roots swirled together like snakes, and it was clear that it hadn't realized the extent of the problem.

After Wang Tao poured out the large pot of gasoline, he took out an arrow, and the arrow part was wrapped in a cloth, and the cloth was stained with gasoline.

Syllable.

The flames ignited by the lighter instantly ignited the arrows.

Whoop -

At this time, before Wang Tao could shoot an arrow, he saw that the roots of the trees began to squirm wildly.

"Huh? Feel the temperature of the flames? It's late! ”

Wang Tao bent his bow and arrows.

Phew-

Flaming arrows landed on the roots of the trees.

Wow –

In an instant, a fire ignited from the root of the tree.

The roots of the tree swayed wildly, as if to extinguish the flames, but all this gasoline stuck to it. It can't be so easy to extinguish.

【-100】

【-100】

【-100】

【……】

Seeing that the blood volume of the root of the tree began to decrease by one hundred and one hundred, Wang Tao grinned, but he didn't dare to continue looking, he quickly pulled Jiang Shixue out of the cave.

All three were waiting outside the cave.

After a while, Wang Tao felt a little hot under his feet, as if he was standing on the kang.

Flames and smoke kept drifting out of the cave, and Wang Tao hurriedly covered his mouth and nose.

"Looks like it's working well! Thanks to Xiaoxue! ”

Wang Tao praised Jiang Shixue beside him.

He might have thought of a fire attack, but he really didn't react at the time. After all, there was a fire just now, and it was in a state of darkness under the lights, and he subconsciously ignored it.

Jiang Shixue, who was praised, was very happy, she held Wang Tao's hand tightly, but her eyes looked at the entrance of the cave from time to time. That faint fragrance has always been there, even the flame can't hide it, and it's even more fragrant......

The fire in the cave ended sooner than Wang Tao imagined, and he thought it would burn for a day and a night, just like yesterday's fire. But in fact it burned all morning, and in the afternoon the flames were extinguished.

However, although the flame was extinguished, the heat inside was still there. For safety, Wang Tao did not go in. Instead, they waited until night.

The temperature tonight was relatively cool, and Wang Tao and the three of them came to the door of the cave to take a look. There's some temperature in there, but it's not too high and it's in an acceptable range.

Then Wang Tao asked Xu Xiaojun to continue to guard outside, and he walked in with Jiang Shixue.

The cave was covered in ash, and some black roots could occasionally be seen, but they shattered when touched.

"It's all burned to charcoals!"

Wang Tao was a little speechless.

This fire attack is really useful, especially for these plant monsters.

The two of them made their way through the warm ashes, and it didn't take long for them to reach the center of the underground space.

Before, this place was blocked by tree roots, and Wang Tao couldn't see what the specific situation was.

Now after coming here, Wang Tao sighed lightly.

"Huh? None of this is dead? ”

In the midst of the ashes, there were some roots that were entwined together, and they were charred black, but it wasn't dead because there was a blood bar.

【3283/100000】

"And three thousand blood! It's so tenacious......"

Wang Tao had some emotion in his mouth, but he was not polite.

An axe blast slashes out.

【-385】

"Huh? Damage getting higher? Could it be that it was burned? ”

Thinking in his heart, Wang Tao beckoned Jiang Shixue to attack again.

To Wang Tao's surprise, these tree roots did not fight back, but were still firmly entangled and slowly wriggling.

Bang!

【-501】

【0/100000】

Wang Tao made its health bar clear with the last axe.

The roots of the tree slowly stopped moving, and a package burst out.

"Isn't this a skip kill......?"

Looking at this lonely package, Wang Tao felt a little painful.

If the roots of this 100,000 blood tree were not burned with fire, or if he was left standing and let him kill, he might not be able to kill them for a few hours. And the attack power of the tree roots is still very strong, if Wang Tao is entangled, so many tree roots attack at the same time, it is estimated that Wang Tao can be beaten into meat paste in an instant!

But such a strong tree root is not considered a cross-level kill.

Wang Tao looked at his blood bar again.

"Rub, not only is it not a skipping kill, but it doesn't add the upper limit of blood......"

Wang Tao remembered the attributes of the tree roots, except for the blood bar, there were no other attributes. It's like the flesh in the Daredevil's lair, and the flesh doesn't add blood, and only explodes a package......

Wang Tao did not look at the package, but at the roots.

The roots are firmly entangled, in the shape of an inverted bowl, as if there is something inside.

This "bowl" is the size of a small room, could it be that there is a third-order zombie in it?

Wang Tao told Jiang Shixue to be ready for battle at any time, and then he carefully pulled away the roots.

"It smells so good!"

Jiang Shixue suddenly exclaimed, and Wang Tao's eyes widened.

I saw a small pool of water inside, and the small pool was full of white liquid like milk. This white liquid is so fragrant that Wang Tao involuntarily secretes saliva frantically.

【Tree Essence*9364】

This thing has a name!

Wang Tao didn't say a word, and directly put all the white liquid into the space backpack.

"Whew-"

This tempting aroma disappeared in an instant, and Wang Tao didn't even have time to look at the specific information, because after these essences were put away. There are two other things that come into view.

The first thing is a white object that resembles an egg.

【Magic Seed*1】

Wang Tao didn't say a word, and put it away directly.

The second thing is a monster with an ugly human face, but the rest of the body is a tree branch!

[HP: 1000/30000]

[Blue Amount: 30000/30000]

[Level: 3rd Order: Lord]

[Impurities in the body: 60%]

[Condition: Weak 99%]

The monster closed its eyes, as if it hadn't noticed Wang Tao's arrival.

"Only 1000 blood, and 99% weak?"

Wang Tao didn't say a word, and cut down directly with an axe.

Poof!

【-1000】

【0/30000】

The health bar of the human-faced tree monster is instantly cleared.

Whoop -

A whole bunch of stuff exploded!

Wang Tao immediately put away the loot package, and then dug up the head of the human-faced tree monster, and there was a red crystal nucleus inside.

After putting away the crystal nucleus and making sure that there were no items with names on this monster, he beckoned to Jiang Shixue.

"Go, go!"
