"Brother Wang, are you all right?"

Seeing Wang Tao coming up, Xu Xiaojun ran over for the first time.

"Haha, it's okay, the monster below has been solved!"

Wang Tao laughed.

This time, I was lucky, I happened to have gasoline, and I happened to run into a plant-based monster that was very afraid of fire.

A fire saved Wang Tao a lot of effort and avoided a lot of dangers, which was like hanging up.

"It's good that you're all right! It's a pity I couldn't help......"

Xu Xiaojun's face was a little ashamed.

Seeing this, Wang Tao patted Xu Xiaojun on the shoulder and said:

"Don't think about it, let you guard the car, you are our way out. If there was no such retreat, I wouldn't dare to attack with fire so boldly! ”

Xu Xiaojun's current strength is not bad, but he can't see at night, and his night action will be greatly restricted, so he didn't let him go with him, which is something that can't be helped.

Although Wang Tao said these were some comforting words, Xu Xiaojun was still greatly encouraged after hearing it.

"Then we ...... now"

Wang Tao looked at the stars in the sky and said:

"Now find a place to rest, you come and drive. I'll go and meet Yang Changhong tomorrow morning. ”

It's still too dangerous to travel at night. If it is not an emergency, Wang Tao still likes to travel safely during the day.

The agreement with Yang Changhong is three days, and tomorrow is exactly the third day, so I can catch up.

"Good!"

Boom –

The engine of the off-road vehicle let out a roar and moved away from the scorched earth reservoir.

Inside the car, Wang Tao took a sip of water, and then began to inspect the loot.

The first is the increase in the maximum amount of HP. Although the root he killed did not increase his maximum health, killing the Human-faced Treeman did increase his health. Directly added 3849!

Therefore, now Wang Tao's HP is [29999/29999]!

Before Wang Tao came, he just thought that since he had received the news of the second-order zombies, and it was not too far away, it naturally couldn't be wasted, even if there was no loot, it would be good to add some blood.

But he didn't expect that when he came, it was only 15,000 blood, and when he went back, it would be almost 30,000!

Now it's a drop of blood away from 30,000!

Of course, this drop of blood was not so easy to get, and he had now reached the upper limit of the second order. It is estimated that he will be the same as when he was at the first tier, and after all his abilities are promoted to the third tier, he can only be promoted to the third rank and reach more than 30,000 HP. But Wang Tao's current abilities are all +1 now, and it will take a lot of effort to reach them all......

However, Wang Tao was also content, after all, the speed of obtaining this amount of blood was much faster than he expected. The speed at which he was promoted to the third order might really exceed the speed at which he was promoted to the second order!

The human-faced tree monster is a third-order lord monster, and it is naturally a cross-level kill for Wang Tao. So in addition to the increase in HP, there is also special energy - his special ability directly increases by 6000!

The special energy and blood volume are the same, that is to say, Wang Tao actually obtained the upper limit of 6000 blood volume. It's a pity that the upper limit of the second order has been reached, so you can only add less than 4,000 blood.

Speaking of special energy, with the addition of these 6000, Wang Tao's special energy has reached 13740!

The special energy of this number can already extract two second-order abilities. Wang Tao can now directly extract the shockwave and precision shot abilities, and then upgrade the barrier with the Almighty Crystal Nucleus!

But now there is no hurry, Wang Tao continues to look at other loot.

After killing those second-order zombies in the sea of fire before, he obtained a lot of crystal nuclei, which were basically what he had seen, among which Wang Tao was useful for shockwaves, omnipotence and accurate shooting.

As for the trophies they burst out, they are all potions, crafting materials, etc., and the whole is relatively average. However, the blood volume of these second-order zombies is not much, and most of them have only been promoted to the second order for a long time, and it is normal that there are no good things.

Then Wang Tao looked at the focus of this harvest, the loot obtained from the cave.

The roots of the tree with 100,000 blood only exploded a trophy package.

Wang Tao thought that the roots of the tree would be like the flesh and blood in the night demon's lair, bursting out and peeling off the crystal nucleus or something. But it's not, it's a tree root—

【3rd Order Weapon: Root Entanglement】

[HP: 10000/10000 (maximum 100000)]

[Status: Sleeping]

[Amplification: HP, Attack, Defense (Weakness: Fear of Fire)]

[Fit:0%]

"Third Order...... Weapons? ”

This is the first time Wang Tao has seen this thing, and he hurriedly read the detailed explanation above.

[Weapon: A weapon that can only be used by humans]

[Root Wrap: Can be wrapped around the body, providing itself with extra HP, attack, and defense, but with the restriction of "Weakness: Fear of Fire"]

[HP: The amount of HP of the weapon itself, the HP is cleared, and the weapon dies]

[Status: The state of the weapon at the moment, only weapons in the "Awakened" state can be used]

[Kicker: The amplification attribute provided by the weapon to humans]

[Fit: Only when it is greater than or equal to 1% can you use weapons.] After using the weapon for a certain amount of time, the fit decreases. The more compatible humans are with weapons, the more they can realize their potential. To increase the fit, you need a crystal nucleus or your own HP to nourish the weapon, nourishment will restore the weapon's current HP, and nourishment 100% will increase the weapon's upper HP. If you nourish your weapon with your own HP, you will fall into a state of extreme weakness.

After reading the introduction, Wang Tao looked surprised.

It's a living weapon!

If you wrap this entwined root around your body, it is equivalent to an extra 10,000 HP, a certain amount of attack and defense!

If attacked, the health of the root of the tree should be deducted first, and if its health is deducted, the wearer's health will be deducted.

However, if you want to use this Entwined Root, you need to increase the fit, at least 1% before you can use it.

And the way to improve the fit is to either use the crystal nucleus or use your own blood to nourish the weapon. If you use the crystal nucleus, you will definitely consume the crystal nucleus, and if you use your own HP, you will fall into a state of extreme weakness......

Wang Tao suddenly thought of the third-order monster he had just killed.

That monster is 99% weakened and still has a large remnant of blood. Is this just nourishing the roots of this entwined tree?

If that's the case, then everything seems to make sense -

Wang Tao poured a lot of gasoline on the roots of the tangled trees and then lit them. Entanglement in the roots of trees is afraid of fire, so the fire does a lot of damage to it. Its health is frenzy.

The monster that uses the entwined tree roots, and sees that the entwined roots keep bleeding, so they want to nourish it with their own blood. The monster may not have too much intelligence, but it consciously protects its own things.

In fact, the human-faced treeman was almost successful, and it used its own health to save the life of the entwined roots. Otherwise, the fire would have burned the roots of the entwined trees to ashes.

But after the flames were extinguished, Wang Tao came in again. The fire was set by Wang Tao, and he must come in to check the situation.

As a result, the root of the tree with residual blood was discovered, and it was directly killed by Wang Tao. Then Wang Tao found the monster in an extremely weak state and killed the monster again......

If he hadn't set this fire, then not only would he have to fight the Entanglement Roots first, but even if he could rely on time to grind the Entwined Roots to the point of dying, then he might face a full-state third-order lord monster again!

Or even worse, the monster came out of the protection of the tangled roots, and both attacked Wang Tao at the same time...... That Wang Tao is absolutely dead!

So I can only say that Wang Tao's luck this time is really good. A potentially fatal crisis was averted.

Wang Tao, who was a little scared, took a deep breath, and then took out the entwined tree root from the space backpack.

It was a black, thin, twisted root, the size of a palm, the kind that looked so ordinary that no one picked it up when it was thrown on the road.

After taking it out of the space backpack, its displayed state changes. It used to be "sleeping", now it is "wakeable".

Wang Tao held it, and could vaguely feel a very faint ...... Conscious?

He wasn't sure, but he felt as if he could wake up with a shout at it.

So, Wang Tao silently thought in his heart: Wake up.

But it didn't move.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot, the current fit is still 0% ......"

Wang Tao hurriedly took out 1 first-order crystal nucleus. Then say it again: Wake up.

As soon as the thought moved, I saw this section of the root slowly wriggling, slowly enveloping this crystal nucleus.

Then, the roots of the tree began to swell like a time acceleration.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue beside him both widened their eyes.

A few seconds later, all the roots of the tree were wrapped around Wang Tao's body, only the head was exposed, and all the other places were wrapped, forming a full-body armor composed of tree roots!

Wang Tao moved his arms slightly, and these tree roots also wriggled, which basically did not affect his flexibility.

Wang Tao felt as if he was connected to a very faint and simple consciousness, and he silently said in his heart: cover his face. The roots of the tree on his body squirmed, blocking his face as well!

"It's kind of amazing!"

Wang Tao's humming voice came from the armor of the tree roots.

Xu Xiaojun didn't pay attention just now, and when he heard Wang Tao's voice, he subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror. I was taken aback.

How did Wang Tao become a monster!

"Wang, Brother Wang?"

Xu Xiaojun shouted with some fear.

Then I saw the roots of the "monster" on his face squirm, revealing Wang Tao's handsome face.

"Haha, Xiaojun, how is my new equipment?"

Wang Tao laughed.

"Whew...... Brother Wang, you're fine! ”

Xu Xiaojun first breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Wang Tao in the rearview mirror with an amazed expression.

"Brother Wang, your equipment is too awesome! I almost thought it was a monster just now, it was so oppressive! ”

"Haha, then you stop the car, I'll go down and have a look."

"Good!"

Xu Xiaojun quickly stopped the car.

Wang Tao opened the door, and the moment he got out of the car, the root armor on his body began to squirm again. Soon, in the faint starlight, a burly figure with a height of two meters and a half appeared in front of Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue.

Xu Xiaojun was originally taller and stronger than Wang Tao. But now looking at Wang Tao again, he has to raise his head slightly.

As for Jiang Shixue, she is only 1.6 meters, so she can only tilt her head hard.

"It's a feeling...... It's kind of cool! ”

Wang Tao clenched his fists, and he could clearly feel the power bonus that the roots of the entwined tree brought him.

Wang Tao glanced at his attributes.

[HP: 29999/29999 (10000/10000)]

Now he is equivalent to 40,000 blood!

Wang Tao glanced at the roots of the entwined tree again.

【3rd Order Weapon: Root Entanglement】

[HP: 10000/10000]

[Status: Awakening]

[Amplification: HP, Attack, Defense (Weakness: Fear of Fire)]

[Fit: 1%]

There was no change in HP, and the fit only increased by 1%...... But after all, this is a third-order weapon, and the first-order crystal nucleus he uses can increase the fit by 1%, which feels very good.

Wang Tao took out another second-order crystal nucleus, and the number of second-order crystal nuclei he had obtained in the past two days was quite large, and he could use it for experiments.

When Wang Tao meditated in his heart to nourish and entangle the roots of the tree, the roots on his body immediately squirmed, and then swallowed the second-order crystal nucleus in his hand.

After a while, Wang Tao looked at the attributes of the entwined tree roots, and the fit became "11%"!

1 first-order crystal nucleus plus 1% fit, 1 second-order crystal nucleus plus 10% fit, so it seems that 1 third-order crystal nucleus should add 100% fit!

As for how much fit can be added to using his own blood volume to nourish the roots of the winding tree, Wang Tao has no intention of experimenting. After all, that state of extreme weakness was too dangerous. The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and Wang Tao is not without a crystal nucleus, so there is no need to test it for the time being.

The attributes of the entwined tree roots did not specifically say how much strength and defense there were, but Wang Tao could sense that there was.

There were a few ordinary zombies on the side of the road, and Wang Tao went directly to these zombies and swung a huge fist.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The heads of these zombies burst like ripe watermelons!

"Cool!"

Wang Tao felt that he didn't do much, so he just waved his fist casually, and the heads of these zombies exploded!

And this level is still 11% fit, how strong is this 100% fit? Will it directly let him have third-order combat power?

However, it is not so easy to improve the fit, either use 100 first-order crystal nuclei, 10 second-order crystal nuclei, or 1 third-order crystal nucleus...... Although Wang Tao has many crystal nuclei, if he takes out so many crystal nuclei at once, he will also be very painful.

Moreover, this fit does not mean that you don't have to worry about it after you improve. When using weapons, it will consume fit.

If a weapon is compared to a car, then the fit is equivalent to the amount of fuel. The more fuel, the harder the car will be and the faster it will run. But when driving, the fuel will continue to be consumed, and when the fuel is exhausted, you can't drive, so you have to refuel......

Wang Tao returned to the car, and then his mind moved.

The roots of the tree began to squirm and shrink rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the root armor on Wang Tao's body disappeared, leaving only a small section of twisted roots in his hand.

Jiang Shixue's eyes lit up, and she felt that this thing was so interesting.

Xu Xiaojun looked at Wang Tao with a look of adoration, he didn't know where Wang Tao got it, maybe he got it from that cave, but it didn't matter, Brother Wang's cow beep was over!

Wang Tao thought about it, then took Jiang Shixue's little hand and put the root in her hand.

"Xiaoxue, you give it a try."

Wang Tao briefly explained how to use it - its practical use is also very simple, as long as you can feel the faint consciousness when holding the roots, you can use it.

"Good~"

Jiang Shixue sensed it, and then saw that the roots in her hands began to grow wildly.

In a moment, a set of root armor was formed, and Jiang Shixue was firmly enveloped.

Jiang Shixue is about 1.8 meters tall with the blessing of the root armor, but she is relatively slender, and this set of root armor is also very slim, which has a special beauty.

After letting Jiang Shixue experience it for a while, Wang Tao asked Xu Xiaojun to try it again.

Xu Xiaojun can also use it.

However, Xu Xiaojun is larger, and after being covered by the root armor, his height soared directly to three meters, which is much more burly than Wang Tao. If he was allowed to take the two-meter-long giant axe again, the feeling of oppression would be overwhelming!

After Xu Xiaojun smirked for a while, he quickly unwrapped himself and returned it to Wang Tao. After all, Wang Tao said that using this thing consumes crystal nuclei, and he can't waste crystal nuclei.

Wang Tao looked at this section of the tree root, and silently thought in his heart, and saw that the root of the tree squirmed for a while, turned into a bracelet, and was directly worn on Wang Tao's right wrist.

"It's so much easier!"

Put the root of the entwined tree into the space backpack, it will fall into a "sleeping" state, and after taking it out, it must be awakened before it can be used. And if you put it on your body, it is in a "awakened" state and can be used immediately, which will be much more convenient.

After a brief test of the roots of the entwined tree, Wang Tao saw a small building and asked Xu Xiaojun to drive over.

After cleaning up the small building briefly, a few people ate something, Xu Xiaojun began to be on duty at night, and Wang Tao continued to check the loot.

The third-order monster he killed had a red crystal nucleus in his head.

【Third Order Crystal Nucleus: Tree Essence】

[Quality: Excellent (80%)]

[Purity: 40% (Side effect: body wooden)]

[Tree Essence: Non-females cannot be successfully fused, and can produce tree essence that can enhance biological strength]

Seeing the attributes of this third-order crystal nucleus, Wang Tao frowned a little.

Non-females can't integrate successfully?

He suddenly felt discriminated against! Last time, the perceptual crystal nucleus was discriminated again, and this is happening again? And it's not a side effect, there's no way to get rid of it.

However, after carefully reading the information of the tree essence, Wang Tao was stunned.

How is this Tree Essence produced? Where did it come from?

Hiss –

Wang Tao seemed to have thought of something terrible.

No wonder it can only be fused by women!

"It's a nice ability. It's just that the side effects of this body woodening feel a little big, don't end up becoming a real vegetative person...... By the way, I also have this tree essence! ”

Wang Tao suddenly remembered that when he was in the cave, he found a lot of white liquid from under the roots of the 100,000 blood entanglement.

He looked at the white liquid in the space backpack.

【Tree Essence*9364】

[Tree Essence: Can increase the strength of creatures]

This tree essence is a bit like a zombie culture liquid. It's all about strengthening. However, the zombie cultivation liquid can only be used by zombies, and the tree essence seems to be used by both humans and zombies!

But this enhancement, I don't know if it will add blood. If he can add blood, Wang Tao will waste it if he uses it now, after all, his current blood volume is full.

"Go back and try it on Xiaoxue and Xiaojun to see what the effect is......"

Wang Tao is ready to use them as guinea pigs.

However, Wang Tao thought of another question, why did this third-order monster cultivate zombies?

This tree essence, it can be used by keeping it on its own, right? Or cultivate a plant, after all, it's a plant monster. There was no need for it to cultivate zombies, at that time, Wang Tao thought that there was a third-order zombie similar to a green-eyed zombie......

After thinking about it carefully, Wang Tao felt that there were two possibilities.

One is that this person is so stupid that he can't tell the difference between himself and a zombie. But that's unlikely.

That's probably the second possibility, the human-faced tree monster wants to train some bodyguards for it!

It hides underground on its own and may not be very safe. But if there are second-order zombies outside to guard the door for it, it will be much safer!

After all, there are so many zombies here, who dares to come over easily.

It's a pity that it didn't expect that Wang Tao not only burned all the zombies to death, but also exposed its lair......

However, there is another question, with the strength of its third-order lord, why did it hide underground, and also created a group of bodyguards in batches......

What is it dodging? Or is it protecting something?
