Chapter 212: Iron Tree
Wang Tao had originally planned to burn this third-order lord monster to death with flames, just like the last time he was in that miniature reservoir.
But he didn't expect the flame to go out!
This big tree monster is not afraid of fire?!
Sou!
The big tree monster waved the vines again, attacking Wang Tao.
Wang Tao dodged several attacks and retreated to Jiang Shixue's side.
"It's not afraid of fire, so it can only ...... It's hard work! β
Wang Tao sighed.
He didn't really want to fight this big tree monster, but he didn't have a choice right now. Of course, he can escape, but he can't beat it, and there is definitely no need to escape. He's here to kill this monster!
Wang Tao took a deep breath, and some black tree roots appeared from his wrists, and soon covered his whole body. In the blink of an eye, a "root monster" with a height of two meters and five appeared.
The reason why Wang Tao didn't use winding tree roots before was because he was afraid of setting fire to himself, after all, winding tree roots was afraid of fire. But since the fire attack is ineffective, then Wang Tao has no scruples, and directly shows the strongest posture!
In the state of wearing this set of armor wrapped around the roots, Wang Tao used this bone knife more smoothly. He grabbed a knife flower in his hand, and then rushed directly towards the big tree monster.
Whoosh β
Wang Tao instantly rushed to the side of the big tree monster and slashed at its body.
γ-3456γ
"What a high defense!"
Wang Tao's knife was cut out with the high-frequency vibration used by activating the Copper Wall Ironclad ability, and wearing a tangled tree root.
It can almost be regarded as Wang Tao's peak state, but this is how he has beaten him with more than 3,000 blood! If this is to fight ordinary third-order zombies, Wang Tao feels that he can directly kill them in seconds. You can imagine how high the defense of this big tree monster is.
But it's not a big problem, one knife can cut more than 3,000, and a dozen knives can hack it to death!
Of course, the big tree monster would definitely not allow Wang Tao to do this. The vines on its body danced wildly and struck at Wang Tao.
Wang Tao wanted to fight hard by winding the roots, but he found that the roots of the winding trees seemed to be a little unbearable, so he immediately retreated.
"That's a lot of damage!"
Wang Tao was a little speechless.
Although he had just slashed the big tree monster twice, he had cut more than 7,000 blood. But the vines struck the roots of the entwined tree, and they struck four times, knocking out more than 4,000 blood!
You must know that the roots of the entwined tree were originally 10,000 blood, and half of them were knocked off at once!
"It looks like the only way to do it is to use a shockwave."
The damage of high-frequency vibration is the highest, and Wang Tao wanted to solve it quickly. But since he couldn't bear the roots of the tangled trees, he could only use the shock wave to fight guerrillas in the distance.
Hmmm-
Wang Tao raised his knife and pointed it at the big tree monster is a shockwave.
But what Wang Tao didn't expect was that those vines suddenly appeared in front of the big tree monster and blocked the blow.
The shockwave knocked out more than 500 blood from these vines, and the vines had a total of 100,000 blood, and these 500 blood was like tickling.
Seeing so many vines with 100,000 blood dancing in front of his eyes, Wang Tao had a headache.
This big tree monster is very difficult to kill - it will be attacked when it attacks at close range, and it will not be able to carry it on its own. Long-range attacks will be blocked, and a bunch of 100,000 blood vines are there, and they can't hurt the big tree monster at all!
The only thing to be thankful for is that this big tree monster seems to have no other means of attack except this vine, at least not for the time being, and it moves slowly, which makes Wang Tao's pressure not so great.
Wang Tao suddenly had a little regret at this time, he should focus on cultivating the roots of the entanglement.
The Root of the Entwined Tree currently only has 10,000 HP, but its cap is 100,000 HP. However, this needs to be cultivated, either with a crystal nucleus or with your own HP.
Wang Tao just kept the blood volume and fit of the root of the entwined tree at 100%, and did not deliberately cultivate it, after all, the defense of the root of the entwined tree itself is very high...... Now it seems that this defense is still not high enough.
If he had 100,000 blood at the root of the entwined tree, he might be able to carry the attack of the vines and kill the big tree monster......
"Brother, I'll attract it, and you will attack."
At this time, Jiang Shixue suddenly spoke.
"No! It's too dangerous! β
Wang Tao immediately shook his head.
Just now, Jiang Shixue was attacked by vines, and directly lost more than 2,000 blood. Even if Jiang Shixue has 29,999 blood, she can't resist a few times.
"Brother, I can, and I believe in you."
Jiang Shixue said with a serious face.
In terms of daily life, Jiang Shixue has always been a little dull, but when she fights, she becomes relatively sober.
Wang Tao hesitated, but looking at Jiang Shixue's calm eyes, he finally nodded.
"Okay! But if there is danger, I will let you retreat, you must retreat! β
"Good!"
After a little discussion, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue separated. The two of them rushed towards the big tree monster left and right.
The Great Tree Monster immediately swung its vines and attacked the two of them at the same time. But at this time, Jiang Shixue's eyes flashed red.
I saw that the vines that were attacking Wang Tao suddenly paused, and then attacked towards Jiang Shixue!
This is Jiang Shixue's hidden attribute, the eye of the contract!
[Eye of Contract: Night Vision, Manipulating Other People's Minds to a Certain Extent]
This ability to manipulate the mind sounds amazing. However, the impact on powerful creatures is limited.
Like this kind of third-order lord monster, Jiang Shixue, who is at the second-order lord level, can only slightly affect the opponent for a moment, such as attracting attacks.
But a lot can be done in one instant!
Wang Tao rushed directly to the side of the big tree monster, raised the bone knife, and slashed wildly. There is almost no skill, it is all brute force!
γ-3434γ
γ-3496γ
γ-3358γ
γ-3502γ
γ-3551γ
γ-3395γ
γ25808/50000γ
In three seconds, Wang Tao slashed six times in a row, directly cutting off half of the blood of the big tree monster.
Then Wang Tao did not have the slightest love for war, and decisively withdrew.
Bang!
As soon as he walked on his front foot, there were many vines on his back foot, which smashed directly into the position where Wang Tao was just now, and directly smashed a big hole inside.
Wang Tao retreated to Jiang Shixue's side, and soon saw Jiang Shixue falling in the ruins.
γ14506/29999γ
Jiang Shixue was also beaten out of half of her blood.
"Ahem......"
Jiang Shixue got up from the rubble, although she was injured, she didn't have any painful expression on her face.
Wang Tao hurriedly hugged her and quickly walked away from the battlefield.
The big tree monster seemed to be a little furious, and was attacking all around indiscriminately.
"It doesn't seem to be able to detect us......"
Wang Tao stood on top of a pile of gravel with Jiang Shixue in his arms.
This pile of rubble was just smashed out by the big tree monster, and everything around it was destroyed, including the surrounding plants.
This big tree monster has no eyes, and it should be through its perception to judge Wang Tao's location.
But there are no plants in this piece of rubble, so it can't be perceived.
And it doesn't seem to have much intelligence, if it is a human being, it will definitely be able to judge Wang Tao's approximate location by the route Wang Tao escaped just now. But it doesn't have that judgment, it's just crazy about sabotage.
This also made Wang Tao breathe a sigh of relief, if it was a monster with high intelligence, it would undoubtedly be much more difficult to deal with......
Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue in his arms.
Although Jiang Shixue still has half of her blood, it is still very safe. But seeing that her whole body was covered with blood marks from being beaten, but she was just frowning slightly, Wang Tao was still a little distressed.
After all, he and Jiang Shixue have lived in the last days for two months, and they also have feelings.
Wang Tao took out a medical kit to stop the bleeding for her, and then asked:
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
Jiang Shixue shook her head.
Seeing Wang Tao carefully helping her deal with her wounds, Jiang Shixue suddenly reached out and stroked Wang Tao's face.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Tao was a little puzzled.
"I seem to ...... Remembered something......"
Jiang Shixue's expression was a little dazed.
"Huh? Remembered something? β
Wang Tao was a little curious.
"It seems that there is a woman who treats me like this, but I can't remember what she looked like......"
Her "treatment" naturally refers to helping her deal with her wounds.
Wang Tao thought for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"That's probably your mother."
He didn't know if Jiang Shixue had any good female friends or relatives, but if she had carefully treated her wounds like this, it would most likely be her mother. After all, in most cases, parents must be very good to their children.
"Mother's ......"
Jiang Shixue's eyes were confused, but she didn't bother. Wang Tao told her before that she should not have psychological pressure, and she would remember it sooner or later.
And "mother" is just a noun for her. She still feels comfortable with Wang Tao......
After Wang Tao helped her treat the wound, he looked at the big tree monster again.
At this time, the big tree monster was no longer violent, but the vines on its body were slowly dancing around, as if looking for Wang Tao's location.
"Brother, I'll attract it again."
Jiang Shixue only lost a lot of blood, but she didn't lack arms or legs, and her strength was not greatly reduced.
"Okay. But don't get too close this time, and try not to let her attack you! β
Wang Tao did not refuse. Now the big tree monster has only 25,000 blood left, and it doesn't have the ability to regenerate. If Wang Tao hadn't killed him, Jiang Shixue would have been beaten in vain just now.
"Good!"
After discussing it again, the two rushed out of the rubble pile and went their separate ways.
When the two of them stepped on some of the underground moss, the big tree monster spotted them. But this time, instead of dancing vines, the ground suddenly trembled, like an earthquake, and then several thick roots came out of the ground!
These tree roots instantly formed an obstacle, trapping Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue respectively, and then quickly contracting!
"And that ability?"
Wang Tao quickly used all the potions that could be used, and then sent the strongest blow to the root of the tree in front of him.
Poof!
The tree roots in front of him were directly cut out by him and a gap!
The attack damage of the high-frequency vibration ability is not covered.
Wang Tao drilled out of this gap, and then saw that the big tree monster was slowly coming here, and he could clearly see that these huge tree roots were growing from the body of the big tree monster.
The roots were growing wildly, and some of them reached the ceiling.
Only then did Wang Tao know what was going on with the big hole he had just entered the underground parking lot, which was opened by this big tree monster with the roots of the tree!
And Wang Tao thought that Lan Yulian had told him before that the Bauhinia Base and Prison were originally very safe to raise zombies here, but somehow they were damaged and let those zombies run out of Area A, and at the same time, some foreign zombies ran in, and since then they have slowly begun to get out of control.
Wang Tao felt that it might be the damage caused by the big tree monster! After all, the destructive ability of its roots is a bit strong, and there should be no problem in destroying those buildings that keep zombies in captivity!
But there is no time to think about it now, because Wang Tao found that the IQ of this big tree monster is indeed simple, and it may even be "single-threaded" - when it activates these roots, the vines on its body stop dancing!
"Chance!"
Wang Tao immediately rushed towards the big tree monster, and then quickly swung the bone knife.
γ-3521γ
γ-3369γ
γ-3721γ
γ-3463γ
Two seconds, four slashes in a row.
The big tree monster finally seemed to come back to its senses, the roots on its body stopped moving, and the vines waved again, pumping towards Wang Tao.
But this time Wang Tao did not hide.
He resisted several vine attacks as he slashed the last two lashes at the big tree monster.
γ-3875γ
γ-359γ
γ0/50000γ
The vines that were pumping towards Wang Tao suddenly seemed to wilt and landed at Wang Tao's feet. The roots that grew out of it slowly ceased to move, becoming no different from normal roots.
As for the tree monster itself, it collapsed with a bang.
Whoop -
Four loot packages burst out, and Wang Tao hurriedly put them into the space backpack.
Then Wang Tao found that the blood bars of these vines on the big tree monster were decreasing wildly, and tens of thousands of blood were dropped in the blink of an eye.
Wang Tao's mind hadn't reacted yet, but his hand had already moved.
He raised his bone knife and slashed at the vines.
Whew-
Just now, the vine with a lot of blood and a super high defense has now become almost like an ordinary plant, and it was stabbed by Wang Tao, easily and resolutely.
After the death of these vines, a loot package was also exploded!
Wang Tao quickly put away the loot packages, and then did not check the corpse of the big tree monster, but ran to Jiang Shixue's position.
Bang!
Suddenly, the roots of the tree on Jiang Shixue's side were punched through a hole, and Jiang Shixue came out of it.
"The defenses of these roots have weakened."
Jiang Shixue explained, and then she saw the huge monster that fell to the ground.
"Brother killed it? Terrible! β
Jiang Shixue suddenly praised it.
Wang Tao saw that Jiang Shixue was not injured again, and immediately relieved his heart.
Then he and Jiang Shixue came to the big tree monster together.
Wang Tao used plant affinity to sense the surrounding movements while checking the big tree monster.
This monster should be regarded as the second largest monster that Wang Tao has encountered, and it is also one of the most difficult monsters......
The big tree monster was big, and Wang Tao didn't know where to start for a while. But he unexpectedly discovered that after the death of the big tree monster, these barks turned out to be named, and could be stored in the space backpack!
γIron Bark: Crafting Materialsγ
This monster is called "Iron Tree"?
Wang Tao immediately put all these iron barks into the space backpack.
γAcquire: Iron Bark*100γ
The Iron Tree was instantly transformed into a barkless tree.
"Here!"
Jiang Shixue sensed something at this time and pointed to a place.
Wang Tao cut it with a bone knife, and then reached out and took out a red crystal nucleus.
γThird Order Crystal Nucleus: Tree Rootγ
[Quality: Excellent (80%)]
[Purity: 40% (Side effect: body wooden)]
[Roots: Legs transform into large, defensive roots that can walk in the dirt]
This ability is supposed to be the roots that the Iron Dryad just used. Looking at this introduction, I don't seem to feel how strong it is. But strong in real battles. If it weren't for Wang Tao's high attack, it would be hard to say whether he could break through the defense of this tree root.
However, this ability turns its legs into tree roots, and while it can walk in the dirt, it doesn't look like a big tree monster very quickly.
And it's not a side effect, there's no way to get rid of it. Then this price is a bit too big, and Wang Tao doesn't like it.
Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue searched for the Iron Tree Monster again, to see if there was anything similar to the previous entanglement of tree roots, or magic seeds.
First, he found a lot of tree essences.
γObtain: Tree Essence*13445γ
One serving of Tree Essence can increase 100 blood and 100 blue. Although it is necessary to take it at regular intervals after every 10 servings, it is still a good thing. Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, and Xu Xiaojun have been using it.
And then a seed was indeed found.
However, this seed is not the same as the previous magic seed.
[Iron Tree Vine Seed: Planted in the land, it will grow a grumpy iron tree iron vine. Planted in the body, an obedient iron tree vine will grow]
Seeing the introduction of this seed, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
If you plant the Iron Tree vine seed in your body, what grows is not a hidden ability, but a vine? Would you like to give it a try......
Aside from the Crystal Nucleus, Tree Essence, and Iron Tree Vine Seeds, there was nothing else left for this Iron Tree monster.
But at this moment, the tangled tree root on Wang Tao's wrist suddenly moved. It squirmed lightly on Wang Tao's wrist, as if it was delivering some message to Wang Tao.
Wang Tao was a little surprised, then felt it carefully, and was stunned for a moment.
"Huh? I feel as if this entwined root is going to 'eat' the corpse of this Iron Tree Monster......"
Wang Tao was a little unsure.
The root of the entwined tree is a creature with no autonomous consciousness, and it cannot directly transmit thoughts to Wang Tao, and Wang Tao only faintly has that feeling.
But after all, it was his own combat partner, and Wang Tao would definitely respond if there was a need, so Wang Tao issued an order to let the roots of the entwined tree move freely.
Then I saw that the root of the entangled tree broke away from Wang Tao's wrist, like a snake, and quickly got into the corpse of the iron tree monster, revealing only a small root outside.
When Wang Tao looked at the small tree roots, he found that the state of the entwined tree roots had changed a little.
γ3rd Order Weapon: Root Entanglementγ
[HP: 7563/10000 (Max 100000)]
[Status: Evolving (Time remaining: 59 minutes 59 seconds)]
[Amplification: HP, Attack, Defense (Weakness: Fear of Fire)]
[Fit: 74%]
"Evolutionary status?"
Wang Tao suddenly showed an expectant look on his face, can this thing still evolve? What could this have evolved?
It's only an hour, and he can afford to wait.
