Chapter 335: Guarding the Big Tree
When Wang Tao and his party came to the vicinity of the corpse of the fire stripe ant, they found that the corpse was gone, replaced by a ten-story tall tree that could not be seen!
"The monster corpses are gone? Is the tree so big? β
"I don't think it was there yesterday...... Grow so big overnight! β
Looking at the lush towering tree in front of them, everyone was a little incredulous.
Wang Tao also opened his mouth.
He took a special look at the Awakening Tree last night. It's obviously still a small tree, and there are still a lot of corpses of fire stripe ants. As a result, early in the morning, the corpse of the fire-streaked ant was gone, and a towering tree rose from the ground.
It's winter now, and although it hasn't snowed yet, it's already a bleak scene outside. The trees on and below the mountain are bare, and there is basically no green anymore. Such a dense emerald tree stands here somewhat abruptly.
If he hadn't been able to see the countdown on the big tree, Wang Tao really couldn't believe that this was the little tree last night.
[Countdown to the ripening of the awakening fruit: 11:58 on the 2nd]
"Brother, look!"
Jiang Shixue suddenly pointed to a place and said to Wang Tao.
Wang Tao followed the sound and looked at a green fruit, which was in this green leaf just now, and Wang Tao didn't see it for the first time.
And now when he saw this fruit, he suddenly felt that the fragrance was even strongerβthe fragrance came from the fruit!
Although this fruit looks green and obviously not ripe, Wang Tao has a feeling of "it is delicious"!
Wang Tao immediately turned his head to look at the others, and everyone was also attracted by this fruit. Among them, Jiang Shixue reacted the most, and she could see some crystals flowing from the corners of her mouth.
Wang Tao stretched out his hand to help her wipe the corners of her mouth, Jiang Shixue realized that she was drooling, her little face turned red instantly, and then scratched her head a little embarrassed.
"IβI don't know what's going on, but I feel like this fruit is so fragrant that I want to eat it...... But I can also feel that it's not ripe yet......"
Hearing Jiang Shixue's words, Wang Tao suddenly frowned.
According to his experience for so long, it is generally good for himself to encounter this kind of uncontrollable desire to eat!
For example, at the beginning, he wanted to eat the crystal nucleus when he saw it, and the first crystal nucleus he fused was uncontrollable and suddenly eaten.
That Jiang Shixue really wants to eat this fruit, so it probably means that this fruit is very useful to Jiang Shixue!
If nothing else, this should be the unripe awakening fruit...... The Awakening Fruit is useful to Jiang Shixue, can it make her awaken?
Just as Wang Tao was thinking, someone noticed that there were other fruits on this tree.
"There's still a fruit here!"
"There's that too!"
ββ¦β¦β
Because the tree was too big and the leaves were too luxuriant, the people didn't see any other fruits at first. Now I have searched carefully and found that there is still a lot of fruit on this big tree!
It's hard to say how many there are, but there should be twenty or more anyway.
"Huh? Do you want to eat it too? β
Ding Yuqing found that the lightning stuck out his tongue, and Harazi flowed all over the ground. And not only the lightning, but also the black snakes were extremely excited.
Xiao Hei came to Wang Tao's side and climbed on Wang Tao, but his eyes kept looking at the fruit on the tree, as if he wanted to eat it.
After seeing this scene, Wang Tao was even more sure of his previous judgment - it should be good to eat the awakening fruit, especially these beasts, maybe they can really awaken!
However, Wang Tao suddenly thought of another question.
He hurriedly asked the crowd.
"You should all be able to smell it, right?"
Everyone nodded immediately.
"Yes! It's so fragrant! And it's that kind of fruity aroma, it smells very good! Never smelled such fragrant fruit! β
Especially Jiang Shixue, she swallowed her spit and said:
"I really want to eat ......"
Wang Tao's expression immediately became serious.
"Everyone's attention! I'm not sure how far this scent can travel, and it might attract zombie monsters or something......"
As soon as he said this, everyone's hearts instantly sank.
If they smell it in the wild, they'll probably come and take a look. Not to mention those zombie monsters with simple IQs!
Wang Tao looked around, everything is fine at present, but it will take more than two days for this awakening fruit to mature, and it is not certain whether it will be good or not in the future.
"In this case, let's drive the car under the tree and rest here at night!"
After the Awakening Tree has absorbed and digested the corpses of the Fire Stripe Ants, there is no longer the effect of [Life Flow] here, and you can stay for a long time.
In case something like a zombie monster really comes, Wang Tao himself is not afraid, but he is afraid that these things will destroy the awakening tree, after all, this is not yet mature. It's hard to grow so big, if it's destroyed, it will be a blood loss.
"Good!"
The people nodded, and then they went over and drove over, and the tents and everything were under the trees.
As soon as they came to the tree, Lightning and Xiao Hei were very excited, Lightning was better, after all, it wouldn't go up the tree, it just ran around Wang Tao excitedly. But Xiao Hei's snakes climbed directly up the tree.
Wang Tao hurriedly explained to them, don't let them touch these fruits, they are not ripe yet, and they will talk about it when they are ripe.
Black snakes are naturally very sensible, they obediently hide in the trees after climbing the trees, and each snake stares at a fruit, as if guarding the fruit.
Then, Wang Tao and the others stayed under the tree for a day.
Except that the fruit on the tree began to turn slightly yellow and the fragrance became more and more intense, nothing happened for the time being.
But Wang Tao did not relax in the slightest, after all, it takes some time for the fragrance to spread. He estimated that these scents had spread far away now, depending on whether there were any zombie monsters nearby......
At night, after Wang Tao arranged for someone to be on duty, he immediately fell asleep. Maybe there will be a battle next, and he will have to recuperate.
While he was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly woken up.
"Wang Tao! There's a zombie coming! β
Hearing the voice, Wang Tao woke up immediately, and it was Jiang Shixue who woke him up.
Only he and Jiang Shixue have night vision, so their duty hours are staggered, and they have to ensure that someone can see clearly at night.
After Wang Tao got up, he looked in the direction that Jiang Shixue was pointing at, and immediately saw a group of zombies staggering towards here.
From the point of view of their travel, they are definitely heading towards the Awakening Tree!
Wang Tao glanced at it roughly, they were basically ordinary zombies, not even a fourth-order one. But Wang Tao was not careless, he woke everyone up.
"There's a zombie coming. I'm going to kill them, and you guys are going to pay more attention to their surroundings. β
Wang Tao wanted to test whether his life ring could increase the amount of stored blood when killing ordinary zombies.
I haven't encountered ordinary zombies before, so naturally I haven't had a chance to experiment. Now that there are zombies coming, it's time to put waste to use.
"Good!"
The crowd responded.
These ordinary zombies are basically second-order and third-order, with no more than 50,000 blood at most, but there are quite a few of them, more than thirty.
The zombies didn't find Wang Tao and his party, they were simply attracted by the fragrance. They twisted their bodies towards the tree.
Brush β
A shockwave suddenly appeared, and several zombies in front of the corpse group were instantly shattered.
Roar β
Only then did the zombies realize that a human had appeared in front of them.
Although the taste of the Awakening Fruit was very fragrant, the fragrance on the human body was no worse than that of the Awakening Fruit, so they immediately shifted their targets and quickly pounced towards Wang Tao.
After a few moments, they were a piece of minced meat on the ground.
Wang Tao looked at his life ring and immediately grinned.
[Current stored HP: 100000/100000]
The ring is full of blood!
It seems that there is nothing wrong with killing ordinary zombies, so that's easy to say. There may not be many other things in the world, but ordinary zombies are definitely not enough to kill!
However, before Wang Tao could be too happy, Jiang Shixue's voice sounded in his headset.
"Brother, there are a lot of ordinary zombies in the east!"
Wang Tao's current position is in the west, and he can't see the situation in the east because of the obscuration of the big trees.
"Attack freely!"
Wang Tao immediately ordered.
He had already tested ordinary zombies, and other zombies were of little use to him.
"Good!"
The crowd sprang into action.
Since Wang Tao was already prepared for the possibility of an enemy, he hung a lot of lamps on the trees, which were still ultraviolet strip lights. Ding Yuqin immediately turned on the light, and the entire tree was immediately as bright as day, and those zombies had nowhere to hide under the ultraviolet rays.
And among these zombies, there are still some burning sounds from time to time.
"There's a Daredevil!"
Everyone was wary, but they didn't panic.
There are about hundreds of zombies coming over this time, but there is obviously no difficulty for everyone.
And it just so happens that the Black Snakes can also test their actual combat ability, with the strength of their fourth-order elites, dealing with these zombies who are less than the fourth order, it is obviously a one-sided slaughter.
Wang Tao also took the opportunity to observe, and he found that the scales of these black snakes were still very hard, and the zombies could not penetrate the scales to attack them, so they could not release the zombie virus. And as long as they are not infected by the zombie virus, then it will be easy for them to deal with these ordinary zombies.
As for the attack methods of these black snakes, there are basically two types. One is to wrap around the head of the zombie, and then suddenly squeeze the head of the zombie with force. The other is to use the tail to whip the zombies and blow their heads up.
Seeing this scene, Wang Tao nodded suddenly.
He was worried that these black snakes had only been born for a long time and had no combat experience, after all, zombies were different from other creatures, and they could only hit zombies on the head.
But Wang Tao is obviously overthinking, these black snakes may have some genetic hunting experience, and they can easily deal with these zombies.
Without Wang Tao and them, five snakes entered the corpse group, directly turning them upside down, and soon annihilated this group of zombies with hundreds of people and good strength.
After killing the zombies, the Black Snake immediately returned to the tree to guard their fruits.
"That's strong!"
Looking at the minced meat in that place, Ding Yuqin was speechless. This black snake doesn't seem to be very powerful, but its lethality is higher than theirs.
"After all, it's a fourth-order creature, and this kind of lethality is reasonable."
Wang Tao smiled.
The combat power of these black snakes is naturally no problem, but the amount of food is a bit large. A black snake has more food than an ordinary third-order ability, thanks to Wang Tao's enough food here, otherwise if he stays in the wild for a few more days, he may be poor by them......
After dealing with this batch of zombies, there were no other creatures coming over for the time being, but Wang Tao and the others naturally couldn't sleep, so they guarded around the big tree.
In the second half of the night, zombies came again!
But this time it's the night demons, a large group of night demons, it feels like a certain night demon lair or even a few night demon nests have been dispatched!
Many of them are white, and three are black!
The Red Night Demon is a third-order elite, and the Blue Night Demon is a third-order lord. The White Night Demon is a Fourth-Order Elite, and the Black Night Demon is a Fourth-Order Lord.
So even if you don't need Wang Tao to remind you, everyone can see that there are a lot of fourth-order night demons coming this time!
However, everyone didn't panic, after all, they might not have much else in their hands, but all kinds of ultraviolet equipment would definitely make these night demons drink a pot!
"Roarβ"
After this group of night demons came, they began to roar in the distance, not daring to come. Wang Tao covered the tree with ultraviolet strip lights, and now the whole tree is like a glowing ultraviolet lamp, emitting a deadly ultraviolet light all around.
Although these ultraviolet rays are not fatal to the fourth-order night demons, they are really uncomfortable, and they are really scared, so they are all hesitating outside, not daring to come.
Wang Tao obviously didn't allow so many threats outside, he reached out and flipped, and an iron beetle appeared in the palm of his hand.
Although Wang Tao is also familiar with the iron beetle, he has not yet armed the iron beetle to fight, so he can take this opportunity to try it, so many fourth-order night demons are enough for him.
Click-
Wang Tao threw out the iron beetle, and the other party immediately began to swell and squirm.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a two-story tall erect beetle monster. Wang Tao blended in, and then rushed straight over.
Knock, knock, knock β
Although the Iron Beetle is not tall compared to the big tree, it stands out from the crowd of night demons.
Wang Tao didn't have any weapons in his hand, mainly because he didn't have the equipment suitable for his size, so he clenched his two fists and hit the night demon with a random hammer!
Bang β
A third-order night demon couldn't dodge and was directly smashed to the ground by Wang Tao's punch. But when Wang Tao raised his fist, there was already a disgusting puddle of meat sauce on the ground.
Seeing the results of his casual blow, Wang Tao sighed.
"No wonder people like Yulian who don't fight much feel cool! This feeling of violence is really cool! β
Wang Tao sighed in his heart, but the movements in his hands did not stop. A punch to a little night demon, like whack-a-mole!
Roar β
Those fourth-order night demons were originally looking for a way to get close to the big trees, but now they couldn't bear it anymore when they saw Wang Tao wantonly slaughtering them. rushed directly towards Wang Tao.
Body size isn't everything, but being big has the benefit of being big. That is, under normal circumstances, these night demons can only attack Wang Tao's legs, and they can't attack other parts.
But attacking the leg of the iron beetle obviously couldn't cause any damage to Wang Tao. These night demons seemed to understand, so they all began to jump, rushing towards Wang Tao like fleas.
Bang!
Bang!
However, one of them jumped up, and one was beaten away by Wang Tao, and the unlucky ones were directly blown up by Wang Tao!
Wang Tao is now like fighting mosquitoes, and he is very happy.
"That's strong!"
Seeing Wang Tao swimming easily in the night demon group, everyone sighed. Although they are all iron beetles, they can play different roles in different people, and in Wang Tao's body, the power of iron beetles can be maximized!
But in fact, Wang Tao is not as easy as everyone thinks. Because this iron beetle has not yet raised its strength to the upper limit, it is still 50,000 blood. In addition, although these night demons can't help Wang Tao, if they hit the iron beetle with various attacks, they will still lose blood.
The so-called ants bite the elephant to death, and in the face of a group of fourth-order night demons, if it takes a long time, it is still dangerous.
Wang Tao asked Lan Yulian to try to treat him, but the result was not surprising, Lan Yulian's treatment could not add blood to the iron beetle. However, it can inflict fire attacks on Iron Beetles...... Wang Tao didn't know what the principle was, but it was okay, the fire attribute attack could still increase some damage.
At the same time he said to the others:
"Let's go together, let's do it quickly!"
After saying that, Wang Tao rushed towards one of the fourth-order lord night demons. As for the other elite and third-order night demons, leave it to the others.
This time, there were a total of three fourth-order lord night demons, and after Wang Tao went to deal with one, He Jijun rushed to the other. As for the last one, it was besieged by several black snakes.
When everyone joined the fray and a few large UV flares lit up the night sky, the Daredevils were overwhelmed.
Especially when Wang Tao, who was wearing an iron beetle, eliminated the fourth-order lord night demon with three strikes and five divided by two, and the night demon group began to rout in an instant.
More than ten minutes later, the other two fourth-order lord night demons were also taken down by Wang Tao, and there were not a few other night demons left in the scene.
Bang β
Wei Zhenguo charged, rushed into the last few remnant blood night demons, and killed them with a shockwave.
"Handsome!"
Wang Tao gave a thumbs up.
At this point, all of these hundreds of night demons have been explained here.
Wang Tao disarmed the Iron Beetle, and then began to quickly clean up the battlefield.
After cleaning up, everyone did not dare to relax and continued to guard by the big tree.
But until dawn, there were no more zombies.
This made Wang Tao a little disappointed.
"That's it? I thought there would be more zombies! β
Killing zombies, especially fourth-order lord zombies, will get a lot of good things, and Wang Tao naturally hopes to kill him more.
Everyone ate some breakfast and then continued to guard the Awakening Tree.
"The aroma of the fruit is getting stronger and stronger......"
Everyone subconsciously swallowed their saliva.
Wang Tao took a look at the countdown of the awakening fruit, there is still more than a day left, and it will be ripe tomorrow night!
Knock, knock, knock β
Suddenly, there was a slight tremor on the ground.
"Something is coming again!"
