Chapter 336 Guarding the Big Tree
When Wang Tao and his team came to the fire-striped ant body, they found that the body was gone and replaced by a ten-story-high tree with no discernable species!
“Are all the monster corpses gone? Has the tree grown so big?”
"I remember it wasn't there yesterday...it grew so big overnight!"
Looking at the lush and towering tree in front of them, everyone was in disbelief.
Wang Tao also opened his mouth.
He took a special look at the situation of the Awakening Tree last night. It was obviously still a small tree, but there were still many corpses of fire-striped ants. As a result, early in the morning, the bodies of the fire-striped ants were gone, and a towering tree rose from the ground.
It is winter now. Although it has not snowed yet, it is already a bleak scene outside. The trees on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain are all bare, and there is basically no green at all. Such a dense emerald-like tree standing here is somewhat awkward.
If he hadn't been able to see the countdown on the big tree, Wang Tao wouldn't have believed that this was the small tree from last night.
【Countdown to the ripeness of the awakening fruit: 11:58 on the 2nd】
“Brother, look!”
Jiang Shixue suddenly pointed at a place and said to Wang Tao.
Wang Tao followed the sound and saw a green fruit. It was among the green leaves just now, but Wang Tao didn't see it at the first time.
When he saw the fruit now, he suddenly felt that the fragrance was even stronger—the fragrance came from the fruit!
Although this fruit looks very green and obviously not yet ripe, Wang Tao feels like "it's delicious"!
Wang Tao immediately turned to look at the others, who were also attracted by this fruit. Among them, the one who reacted the most was Jiang Shixue, and you could see some sparkling water flowing from the corners of her mouth.
Wang Tao stretched out his hand to wipe the corners of her mouth. Jiang Shixue later realized that she was drooling. Her face turned red instantly, and then she scratched her head in embarrassment.
“I, I don't know what's going on, but I feel that this fruit is very fragrant and I really want to eat it… But I can also feel that it is not yet ripe…”
Hearing Jiang Shixue's words, Wang Tao suddenly frowned.
According to his long-term experience, it is generally good for him to encounter such things that he can't help but want to eat!
For example, when he first saw the crystal core, he wanted to eat it. The first crystal core he fused, he couldn't control and suddenly ate it.
Then Jiang Shixue really wants to eat this fruit, which most likely means that this fruit is very useful to Jiang Shixue!
If nothing else, this should be the immature Awakening Fruit... The Awakening Fruit is useful to Jiang Shixue, can it make her awaken?
While Wang Tao was thinking, someone discovered that there were other fruits on the tree.
“Here is another fruit!”
“Here too!”
Because the tree was too big and the leaves were too lush, no one saw any other fruits at the first time. Now I looked carefully and found that there are still many fruits on this big tree!
It's hard to say how many there are specifically, but there should be upwards of twenty.
“Huh? Do you want to eat too?”
Ding Yuqing found that Lightning stuck out his tongue and his tongue was dripping all over the floor. And not only Lightning, but also the black snakes seemed particularly excited.
Xiao Hei came to Wang Tao and climbed on Wang Tao, but his eyes kept looking at the fruits on the tree, as if he wanted to eat them.
Seeing this, Wang Tao was more certain of his previous judgment - there should be benefits to eating the awakening fruit, especially these beasts, maybe they can really awaken!
However, Wang Tao suddenly thought of another question.
He quickly asked everyone.
“You should all smell good, right?”
Everyone nodded immediately.
“Yes! It's so fragrant! And it has that kind of fruity aroma, it's very nice! I've never smelled such fragrant fruit!”
Especially Jiang Shixue, she swallowed and said:
“I really want to eat…”
Wang Tao's expression immediately became serious.
“Everyone, please pay attention! I'm not sure how far this scent can spread. It may attract zombies, monsters, etc.…”
When he said this, everyone was instantly shocked.
If they smell this fragrance in the wild, they will most likely come over and take a look. Not to mention those zombie monsters with simple IQs!
Wang Tao looked around and found that everything was fine so far, but it would take more than two days for the awakening fruit to mature, so it was uncertain whether it would be fine or not in the future.
“Let's drive the car under the tree and rest here at night!”
After the Awakening Tree has absorbed and digested all the bodies of the fire-striped ants, there is no longer the [life loss] effect here, so you can wait for a long time.
Wang Tao himself is not afraid if something like zombies and monsters really come over, but he is afraid that these things will damage the awakening tree. After all, it is not mature yet. It has finally grown so big. If it is destroyed, it will lose blood.
"good!"
Everyone nodded, and then they went over to bring the car over, and the tents and everything else were put under the tree.
As soon as they came under the tree, Lightning and Xiao Hei seemed particularly excited. Lightning was a little better, after all, it couldn't climb the tree. It just ran around Wang Tao excitedly. But Xiao Hei's snakes climbed directly up the tree.
Wang Tao quickly told them not to let them touch these fruits. They are not ripe yet. We will wait until they are ripe.
Black snakes are naturally very sensible. After climbing up the tree, they hide obediently in the tree. Each snake stares at a fruit as if it is guarding the fruit.
Then, Wang Tao and others stayed under the tree for a day.
Except that the fruits 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 at all. After all, it takes some time for the fragrance to spread. He estimated that these scents have spread far now. It depends on whether there are any zombie monsters nearby...
At night, after Wang Tao arranged for someone to be on duty, he immediately fell asleep. There might be a fight next, and he had to recharge his batteries.
While he was sleeping soundly, he was suddenly woken up.
“Wang Tao! There are zombies coming!”
Hearing the sound, 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 it is necessary to ensure that someone can see clearly at night.
Wang Tao got up and looked in the direction Jiang Shixue pointed, and immediately saw a group of zombies staggering towards here.
From the perspective of their movement, they are definitely heading towards the Awakening Tree!
Wang Tao took a general glance and found that they were basically all ordinary zombies, not even a fourth-level one. But Wang Tao was not careless, he woke everyone up.
"Zombies are coming. I'm going to kill them. You guys, please pay more attention to your surroundings."
Wang Tao wanted to test whether his life ring could increase the amount of blood stored when killing ordinary zombies.
Having never encountered ordinary zombies before, naturally I didn't have the chance to experiment. Now that zombies are coming, it's time to use the waste.
"good!"
Everyone responded.
These ordinary zombies are basically second- and third-level zombies, with no more than 50,000 health at most, but there are quite a few of them, more than 30 of them.
The zombies did not notice Wang Tao and his group, they were simply attracted by the scent. They twisted their bodies and walked towards the big tree.
brush-
A shock wave suddenly appeared, and several zombies in front of the zombie group were instantly crushed.
Roar-
The zombies then discovered that a human appeared directly in front of them.
Although the smell of awakening fruit is very fragrant, the fragrance on humans is no worse than that of awakening fruit, so they immediately changed their target and rushed towards Wang Tao quickly.
After a while, they became scraps of meat on the ground.
Wang Tao looked at his life ring and immediately grinned.
【Current stored blood volume: 100000/100000】
The blood stored in the ring is full!
It seems that there is no problem in killing ordinary zombies, so that's easy to say. There may not be many other things in the world, but you can't kill all the ordinary zombies!
But before Wang Tao could get too happy, Jiang Shixue's voice sounded in his headset.
“Brother, there are also a lot of ordinary zombies coming from the east!”
Wang Tao's current location is in the west. Due to the obstruction of the big trees, he cannot see the situation in the east.
“You are free to attack!”
Wang Tao immediately gave the order. He has already tested ordinary zombies, and other zombies are of little use to him.
"good!"
Everyone took action immediately.
Since Wang Tao was already prepared for the possibility of enemies appearing, he hung a lot of lights on the tree, including ultraviolet strip lights. Ding Yuqin immediately turned on the lights, and the entire area around the tree was as bright as day. The zombies had nowhere to hide under the ultraviolet radiation.
Among these zombies, there are still some burning sounds coming from time to time.
“There's a Night Stalker mixed in with it!”
Everyone is wary, but they are not panicking.
There are probably hundreds of zombies coming this time, but it is obviously not difficult for everyone.
And it also allowed the Black Snakes to test their actual combat capabilities. With their fourth-level elite strength, it was obviously a one-sided massacre to deal with these zombies that were not even fourth-level.
Wang Tao also took the opportunity to observe. He found that the scales of these black snakes were still very hard. Zombies could not penetrate the scales and attack them, so they could not release the zombie virus. And as long as they are not infected by the zombie virus, 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 zombie's head, and then use sudden force to directly squeeze the zombie's head. The other is to use the tail to beat zombies and blow their heads off.
Seeing this scene, Wang Tao nodded immediately.
He was worried that these black snakes were just born and had no fighting experience. After all, zombies were different from other creatures and could only hit zombies on the head.
But Wang Tao was obviously overly worried. These black snakes may have some genetic hunting experience, and they can easily deal with these zombies.
Without Wang Tao and the others taking action, five snakes entered the group of zombies and turned them upside down. They quickly wiped out all the powerful zombies, which numbered in the hundreds.
After killing these zombies, the black snakes immediately returned to the tree to guard their fruits.
“So strong!”
Looking at the minced meat on the ground, Ding Yuqin was speechless. This black snake didn't look very powerful, but it was more lethal than them.
“After all, it is a fourth-level creature, so its lethality is reasonable.”
Wang Tao smiled.
The fighting power of these black snakes is naturally no problem, but their appetite is a bit big. A black snake eats more than an average third-level superpower. Fortunately, Wang Tao has enough food here. Otherwise, if he stayed in the wild for a few more days, he might be starved by them...
After dealing with this group of zombies, no other creatures came for the time being, but Wang Tao and others naturally couldn't sleep, so they gathered around the big tree to guard.
In the middle of the night, zombies came again!
But this time it was night demons, a large group of night demons. It felt like a certain night demon lair or even several night demon lairs were out in force!
Many of them are white, and three are black!
Red Night Demons are third-level elites, and blue Night Demons are third-level lords. The white night devil is the fourth-level elite, and the black night devil is the fourth-level lord.
So even without Wang Tao's reminder, everyone can see that there are a lot of fourth-order night demons coming this time!
However, everyone is not panicking. After all, they may not have much else in their hands, but various ultraviolet devices will definitely give these night demons a drink!
"Roar-"
After this group of night demons came over, they started roaring in the distance and did not dare to come over. Wang Tao covered the big tree with ultraviolet strip lights. Now the whole tree is like a glowing ultraviolet lamp, emitting deadly ultraviolet light to the surroundings.
Although these ultraviolet rays are not fatal to the fourth-level night demons, they are really uncomfortable and scared, so they all hesitate outside and dare not come over.
Wang Tao obviously did not allow so many threats outside. He stretched out his hand and an iron beetle appeared in the palm of his hand.
Although Wang Tao is relatively familiar with the Iron Beetle, he has never actually fought with an armed Iron Beetle, so he can take this opportunity to give it a try. There are so many Level 4 Night Demons that are enough for him.
Wang Tao threw the iron beetle, and the opponent immediately began to expand and squirm.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a two-story upright beetle monster. Wang Tao blended in and rushed over.
Although the iron beetle is not tall compared to the big trees, it stands out among this group of night demons.
Wang Tao didn't hold any weapons in his hands, mainly because he didn't have equipment suitable for his size. He just clenched his two fists and hammered at the Night Demon!
boom-
A third-level night demon was unable to dodge and was directly punched to the ground by Wang Tao. But when Wang Tao raised his fist, there was already a puddle of disgusting meat paste on the ground.
Seeing the results of his casual attack, Wang Tao sighed.
“No wonder people like Yulian who don't fight much feel so good! This kind of violent feeling is really good!”
Wang Tao sighed in his heart, but did not stop moving his hands. Punch a little night devil, it's like whack-mole!
Roar-
Those fourth-level night demons were originally looking for a way to get close to the big tree, but now that they saw Wang Tao slaughtering their people wantonly, they naturally couldn't bear it anymore. He rushed directly towards Wang Tao.
Although body size is not everything, being large has its benefits. That is, under normal circumstances, these night demons can only attack Wang Tao's legs and cannot attack other parts.
But attacking the legs of the iron beetle obviously cannot cause any harm to Wang Tao. These night demons seemed to understand, so they all started to jump up and rush towards Wang Tao like fleas.
boom!
boom!
However, when one of them jumped up, one of them was knocked away by Wang Tao, and the unlucky one was directly blown up by Wang Tao!
Wang Tao seems to be swatting mosquitoes now, and he is having a great time.
“So strong!”
Seeing Wang Tao maneuvering among the night demons with ease, everyone sighed. Although they are all iron beetles, they can play different roles in different people. Only in Wang Tao can the power of the iron beetle be maximized!
But in fact, Wang Tao was not as relaxed as everyone imagined. Because this iron beetle has not yet raised its strength to the upper limit, it still has 50,000 blood. In addition, although these night demons can't do anything to Wang Tao, the iron beetle will still lose blood if hit by various attacks.
As the saying goes, an elephant will be killed if there are too many ants. Facing a group of fourth-level night demons, if it goes on for a long time, it will still be dangerous.
Wang Tao asked Lan Yulian to try to use treatment on him. As expected, Lan Yulian's treatment could not increase the blood of the iron beetle. But it can add fire attribute attacks to the iron beetle...Wang Tao doesn't know the principle of this, but it's okay. Fire attribute attacks can still increase some damage.
At the same time he said to the others:
“Let's go together and fight quickly!”
After finishing speaking, Wang Tao rushed towards one of the fourth-level lord night demons. As for the other elite night demons and third-level night demons, leave them to others.
This time there were three Level 4 Lord Night Demons. After Wang Tao went to deal with one, He Jijun rushed towards the other. As for the last one, it was surrounded by several black snakes.
When everyone joined the fight and several large ultraviolet flares illuminated the night sky, the Night Demons began to be unable to withstand it.
Especially when Wang Tao, who was wearing an armored beetle, eliminated the fourth-level lord night demon with three strikes, five strikes, and five divisions, the night devil group began to collapse instantly.
More than ten minutes later, two other fourth-level lord night demons were also captured by Wang Tao, and there were not many other night demons left at the scene.
boom-
Wei Zhenguo charged forward, rushed into the last few night demons with residual blood, and killed them with a shock wave.
"handsome!"
Wang Tao gave a thumbs up.
At this point, all these hundreds of night demons have been accounted for here.
Wang Tao disarmed the iron beetle and then began to quickly clean the battlefield.
After the cleaning was completed, everyone did not dare to relax and continued to guard next to the big tree.
But until dawn, no more zombies appeared.
This makes Wang Tao a little disappointed.
“That's it? I thought there would be more zombies coming!”
Killing zombies, especially the fourth-level lord zombies, will get a lot of good things. Wang Tao naturally hopes to kill more of them.
Everyone had some breakfast and then continued to guard the Awakening Tree.
“The aroma of the fruit is getting stronger and stronger...”
Everyone swallowed subconsciously.
Wang Tao looked at the countdown of the awakening fruit. There is more than one day left, and it will be ripe tomorrow night!
Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly.
“Something is coming again!”
