Chapter 213 Iron Tree

Wang Tao originally planned to burn this third-level lord monster to death with fire, just like the last time in the miniature reservoir.

But he didn't expect that the flame would go out!

This big tree monster is not afraid of fire? !

Whoosh!

The big tree monster waved its vines again and attacked Wang Tao.

Wang Tao dodged several attacks and retreated to Jiang Shixue's side.

"It's not afraid of fire, so we can only... fight hard!"

Wang Tao sighed.

He didn't really want to fight this big tree monster, but he had no choice now. Of course, he could escape, but he was not defeated, so there was no need to escape. He came here to kill this monster!

Wang Tao took a deep breath, and some black tree roots appeared from his wrist, and soon covered his whole body. In the blink of an eye, a "tree root monster" with a height of two meters and five appeared.

The reason why Wang Tao didn't use the entangled tree roots before was that he was afraid of setting fire to himself. After all, the entangled tree roots were afraid of fire. But since the fire attack was ineffective, Wang Tao had no scruples and showed his strongest attitude directly!

Wearing this set of armor with tree roots, Wang Tao used this bone knife more smoothly. He made a knife flower in his hand and rushed directly to the big tree monster.

Whoosh——

Wang Tao rushed to the big tree monster in an instant and slashed it hard.

[-3456]

"What a high defense!"

Wang Tao slashed it with the high-frequency vibration of the copper wall and the tree roots.

It can almost be regarded as Wang Tao's peak state, but it only hit him more than 3,000 blood! If it was an ordinary third-level zombie, Wang Tao felt that he could kill it instantly. 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 it can be killed with more than ten knives!

Of course, the big tree monster will definitely not allow Wang Tao to do this. The vines on its body danced wildly and hit Wang Tao.

Wang Tao wanted to fight hard with the entangled tree roots, but he found that the entangled tree roots seemed to be unable to withstand it, so he retreated immediately.

"What a high damage!"

Wang Tao was a little surprised.

Although he had just chopped the big tree monster twice, cutting more than 7,000 blood. But those vines hit the entangled tree roots, hit four times, and knocked off more than 4,000 blood!

You know, the entangled tree roots originally had 10,000 blood, and it was knocked off half at once!

"It seems that I can only use shock waves."

The damage of high-frequency vibration is the highest. Wang Tao wanted to fight quickly. But since the entangled tree roots couldn't withstand it, he could only use shock waves to fight guerrilla warfare from a distance.

Shua——

Wang Tao raised his knife and sent a shock wave to the big tree monster.

But what Wang Tao didn't expect was that those vines suddenly appeared in front of the big tree monster and blocked the attack.

The shock wave knocked off more than 500 blood from these vines. The vines had a total of 100,000 blood, and these 500 blood were like tickling.

Seeing so many vines with 100,000 HP baring their fangs and claws in front of him, Wang Tao had a headache.

This big tree monster is difficult to kill - close-range attacks will be attacked, and he can't bear it. Long-range attacks will be blocked, and a bunch of vines with 100,000 HP there 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 very slowly, which makes Wang Tao's pressure not so great.

Wang Tao suddenly felt a little regretful at this time, he should focus on cultivating the entangled tree roots.

The entangled tree roots currently have only 10,000 HP, but its upper limit is 100,000 HP. However, this needs to be cultivated, either with crystal cores or with your own HP.

Wang Tao just kept the HP and fit of the entangled tree roots at 100%, and did not deliberately cultivate them. After all, the defense of the entangled tree roots itself is very high... Now it seems that this defense is still not high enough.

If his entangled tree roots had 100,000 HP, he might be able to withstand the attack of the vines and kill the tree monster...

"Brother, I'll attract it, you attack."

At this time, Jiang Shixue suddenly spoke.

"No! It's too dangerous!"

Wang Tao shook his head immediately.

Just now, Jiang Shixue was attacked by the vines and lost more than 2,000 HP. Even if Jiang Shixue had 29,999 HP, she couldn't resist a few times.

"Brother, I can do it, and I believe in you."

Jiang Shixue said seriously.

In daily life, Jiang Shixue has always been a little dull, but when fighting, she will become relatively sober.

Wang Tao hesitated, but looking at Jiang Shixue's calm eyes, he finally nodded.

"Okay! But if there is danger, I ask you to retreat, you must retreat!"

"Okay!"

After a little discussion, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue separated. The two rushed towards the tree monster on the left and right.

The tree monster immediately waved the vines and attacked the two at the same time. But at this time, Jiang Shixue's eyes flashed red.

I saw that the vines that attacked Wang Tao suddenly paused, and then attacked Jiang Shixue!

This is Jiang Shixue's hidden attribute, the Eye of Contract!

[Eye of Contract: Night Vision, Control Others' Thoughts to a Certain Degree]

This ability can control thoughts, which sounds powerful. But the impact on powerful creatures is very limited.

For a third-level lord monster like this, Jiang Shixue, who is at the second-level lord level, can only slightly affect the opponent for a moment, such as attracting attacks.

But you can do a lot of things in just one moment!

Wang Tao rushed directly to the big tree monster, raised his bone knife, and slashed wildly. There is almost no skill, just brute force!

【-3434】

【-3496】

【-3358】

【-3502】

【-3551】

【-3395】

【25808/50000】

In three seconds, Wang Tao slashed six times, directly cutting off half of the tree monster's blood.

Then Wang Tao didn't like fighting at all and retreated decisively.

boom!

As soon as he walked away with his front feet, many vines followed him on his back feet, hitting the spot where Wang Tao was just now, creating a big hole inside.

Wang Tao evacuated towards Jiang Shixue and soon saw Jiang Shixue lying in the rubble.

【14506/29999】

Jiang Shixue was also knocked out of half of her blood.

"cough……"

Jiang Shixue climbed up from the ruins. Although she was injured, there was no expression of pain on her face.

Wang Tao quickly hugged her and quickly left the battlefield.

This big tree monster seems to be a little violent and is attacking the surroundings indiscriminately.

"It seems like it can't find us anymore..."

Wang Tao stood on a pile of gravel with Jiang Shixue in his arms.

This pile of rubble was just smashed by the big tree monster. Everything around it was destroyed, including the surrounding plants.

This big tree monster has no eyes, so it should be able to determine Wang Tao's location through its perception.

But there are no plants in this rubble, so it can't sense it.

And it doesn't seem to have any intelligence. If it were a human, it would definitely be able to judge Wang Tao's approximate location based on the route Wang Tao just escaped from. But it has no such judgment and is just wreaking havoc crazily.

This also made Wang Tao breathe a sigh of relief. If it were 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 had half of her blood, she was still very safe. But seeing her whole body covered with blood marks from being beaten, but she was just frowning slightly, Wang Tao still felt a little distressed.

After all, he and Jiang Shixue had lived in the apocalypse for two months and had feelings.

Wang Tao took out the medical bag to stop her bleeding, and then asked:

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Jiang Shixue shook her head.

Seeing Wang Tao helping her treat the wound carefully, Jiang Shixue suddenly reached out and touched Wang Tao's face.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Tao was a little confused.

"I seem to...remember something..."

Jiang Shixue looked a little confused.

"Huh? What did you remember?"

Wang Tao was a little curious.

"There seems to be a woman who treated me like this, but I can't remember her face clearly..."

Her "treat" naturally meant helping her treat her wounds.

Wang Tao thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Then it's most likely your mother."

He didn't know if Jiang Shixue had any close female friends or relatives, but if he treated her wounds carefully like this, there was a high probability that she was her mother. After all, in most cases, parents are definitely good to their children.

"Mother……"

Jiang Shixue's eyes were confused for a moment, but she didn't hesitate. Wang Tao told her before that she should not have any psychological pressure, as she would remember it sooner or later.

And "mother" is just a noun to her. She still feels comfortable being with Wang Tao...

After Wang Tao helped her deal with 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 it was looking for Wang Tao's location.

"Brother, I'll attract it again."

Jiang Shixue only lost a lot of blood, but she didn't lose any arms or legs, so her strength wasn't greatly compromised.

"Okay. But don't get too close this time, and try not to let her attack you!"

Wang Tao did not refuse. The big tree monster now only has 25,000 blood left, and it has no ability to restore blood. If Wang Tao hadn't killed it, Jiang Shixue's beating would have been in vain.

"good!"

After the two discussed for a while, they rushed out of the rubble and split up.

When the two stepped on some underground moss, the big tree monster discovered them. But this time, it didn't dance with the vines, but the ground suddenly trembled, like an earthquake, and then several thick tree roots came out of the ground!

These tree roots instantly formed obstacles, trapping Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue respectively, and then quickly shrank!

"Do you still have this ability?"

Wang Tao quickly used all the available potions, and then gave the strongest blow to the tree root in front of him.

Poof!

He cut out a gap in the tree root in front of him!

The attack power of the high-frequency vibration ability is undeniable.

Wang Tao got out of the gap, and then saw the big tree monster slowly coming here. He could clearly see that these huge tree roots grew from the body of the big tree monster.

These tree roots are growing wildly, and some of them reach the ceiling.

Only then did Wang Tao know what was going on with the big hole he had just entered in the underground parking lot. It was the big tree monster that used the tree roots to open it!

And Wang Tao thought of what Lan Yulian had told him before, that the Bauhinia Base and the prison were safe for raising zombies here, but somehow they were damaged, causing the zombies to run out of Area A, and some foreign zombies also ran in, and then they slowly started to get out of control.

Wang Tao thought that it might be the damage caused by the big tree monster! After all, its tree roots have a strong destructive power, and it should be no problem to destroy the buildings where the zombies are kept!

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 launched these tree roots, the vines on its body stopped dancing!

"Opportunity!"

Wang Tao immediately rushed towards the big tree monster and quickly swung the bone knife.

[-3521]

[-3369]

[-3721]

[-3463]

Two seconds, four consecutive cuts.

The tree monster finally seemed to come to its senses. The roots on its body stopped moving, and the vines waved again, whipping at Wang Tao.

But this time Wang Tao did not dodge.

While resisting several vine attacks, he slashed the tree monster with the last two knives.

[-3875]

[-359]

[0/50000]

The vines that were whipping at Wang Tao suddenly seemed to wilt and fell at Wang Tao's feet. The roots growing from it slowly stopped moving and became no different from ordinary roots.

As for the tree monster itself, it collapsed with a loud bang.

Crash--

Four loot packages exploded, and Wang Tao quickly put them into the space backpack.

Then Wang Tao found that the health bars of the vines on the tree monster were decreasing madly, and tens of thousands of blood were lost in the blink of an eye.

Wang Tao's brain hadn't reacted yet, but his hands had already moved.

He raised the bone knife and chopped at the vines.

Swish, swish, swish——

The vines that had a lot of health and high defense just now have become just like ordinary plants. Wang Tao killed them one by one with ease and determination.

After these vines died, a loot package also exploded!

Wang Tao quickly put away these loot packages, and then ran to Jiang Shixue's position without checking the body of the big tree monster.

Bang!

Suddenly, a hole was punched through the roots of Jiang Shixue's side, and Jiang Shixue came out from it.

"The defense of these roots has weakened."

Jiang Shixue explained, and then she saw the huge monster lying on the ground.

"Brother killed it? Awesome!"

Jiang Shixue praised immediately.

Wang Tao saw that Jiang Shixue was not injured again, and he was relieved immediately.

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 the second largest monster Wang Tao has ever encountered, and it is also one of the most difficult monsters...

The tree monster is so big that Wang Tao didn't know where to start. But he unexpectedly discovered that after the tree monster died, the barks were named and could be put into the space backpack!

[Iron Bark: Production Materials]

Is this monster called "Iron Tree"?

Wang Tao immediately put all the iron barks into the space backpack.

[Obtained: Iron Bark*100]

This iron tree monster instantly turned 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, then reached out and took out a red crystal core.

[Third-level crystal core·Tree root]

[Quality: Excellent (80%)]

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

[Tree root: legs transformed into large, defensive tree roots, can walk in the soil]

This ability should be the tree roots that the iron tree monster just used. Looking at this introduction, it doesn't seem to feel that strong. But it is very strong in actual combat. If Wang Tao's attack is not high, it is hard to say whether he can break the defense of this tree root.

However, this ability will turn his legs into tree roots. Although he can walk in the soil, it is obviously not very fast from the appearance of the big tree monster.

And this is not a side effect, there is no way to eliminate it. Then the price is a bit too high, and Wang Tao doesn't like it.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue searched the iron tree monster again to see if there are things like the roots that were wrapped around before, or magical seeds.

First, he found a lot of tree essence.

[Obtain: Tree Essence * 13445]

One serving of tree essence can increase 100 health and 100 mana. Although it takes a certain period of time to take it again after taking ten servings, it is still a good thing. Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, and Xu Xiaojun have been using it.

Then they did find a seed.

But this seed is not the same as the previous magical seeds.

[Iron Tree Vine Seed: Planted in the soil, a violent iron tree and iron vine will grow. Plant it in your body, and an obedient iron tree vine will grow out]

Seeing the introduction of this seed, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

Planting the iron tree vine seed in your body, what grows out is not the hidden ability, but a vine? Do you want to give it a try...

In addition to the crystal core, tree essence and iron tree vine seeds, this iron tree monster has nothing else.

But at this moment, the entangled tree root on Wang Tao's wrist suddenly moved. It gently squirmed on Wang Tao's wrist, as if it was conveying some message to Wang Tao.

Wang Tao was a little surprised, and then he felt it carefully and was stunned.

"Huh? I feel that this entangled tree root seems to want to 'eat' the body of this iron tree monster..."

Wang Tao was a little unsure.

The entangled tree root is a creature with little self-consciousness, and it cannot directly convey thoughts to Wang Tao. Wang Tao only has that feeling vaguely.

But after all, it is his fighting partner. If there is a need, Wang Tao will definitely respond, so Wang Tao issued a command to let the entangled tree root move freely.

Then the entangled tree root broke away from Wang Tao's wrist, like a snake, and quickly drilled into the body of the iron tree monster, leaving only a small root outside.

When Wang Tao looked at this small root, he found that the state of the entangled tree root had changed a little.

[Level 3 weapon: Entangled tree roots]

[HP: 7563/10000 (upper limit 100000)]

[Status: Evolving (remaining time: 59 minutes and 59 seconds)]

[Amplification: HP, attack, defense (weakness: afraid of fire)]

[Compatibility: 74%]

"Evolution status?"

Wang Tao's face suddenly showed an expectant look. Can this thing evolve? What can it evolve into?

It only takes an hour. He can wait.
