Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton Chapter 1103

Chapter 1103: Chapter 667: The Bizarre Battle Between Animals and Plants Chapter 1103: Chapter 667: The Bizarre Battle Between Animals and Plants Ange circled around the War Giant Tree, dodging its attacks with twists and turns, occasionally throwing the Lightning Spear and striking the tree.

A three-meter-long Lightning Spear, compared to a thousand-meter-tall and five-hundred-meter-thick Giant Tree, each strike was like a needle prick. Whether it was painful or not was another matter, but it didn't cause damage; rather, the area struck by lightning would be more of an annoyance with sparks and fires erupting.

The War Giant Tree had to divert some of its attention to extinguish the flames, and then the charred areas would sprout new bark, toughening up and quickly restoring itself to an undamaged state.

Aside from being annoying like the woodpeckers pecking at it in its youth, sick or not, they would peck you full of holes until it grew up a bit and secreted tree resin, keeping those annoying woodpeckers away.

The War Tree Man began to secrete tree glue, wrapping it around the trunk, so that when the Lightning Spear struck, it would no longer catch fire.

However, in the Void, its movements weren't very agile. Apart from throwing fruit, it could only jab with Void Roots, but unfortunately, Ange dodged them all.

But it didn't matter, the fruit thrown by the War Tree Man was very skillful, filling Ange's movements trajectory and slowly minimizing his space to move, just needing a touch…

Just as it thought this, it saw Ange speed past the fruit glue, grabbing a handful and then thrusting it forward–by the time he pulled his hand back, the fruit glue had disappeared.

The remaining fruit glue showed no reaction, which usually would have triggered a chain reaction, with all the fruit glue gathering towards the moving part.

Touching even a tiny bit would cause the rest to wrap around from every direction, immobilizing the target so that no other fruit glue would come near.

Relying on this characteristic, its exploding fruit had ambush many enemies. Now, with no reaction from the fruit glue, there were only two possibilities: either the fruit glue was transported to another space, or the fruit glue had become ineffective.

If it were another enemy, the War Tree Man wouldn't suspect that the fruit glue was ineffective, but looking at the distant God of Life, it felt that it was more likely the fruit glue had failed.

Amidst this confusion and tug-of-war, the War Tree Man gradually felt something was off, a sense of weakness.

As the War Tree Man was about to check its condition, another Lightning Spear suddenly flew towards it, aimed directly at the Black Crystal on its head.

The War Tree Man instinctively blocked, still puzzled as to why this Lightning Spear seemed so slow, but its attention was drawn back.

When it became weak enough not to require focused attention to sense its condition, a swarm of insects had already spread throughout its trunk.

When Ange touched the War Tree Man, he had embedded Mattis's insect eggs inside it, the same Insect God that had parasitized the previous God of Life. The eggs had a natural strategy against Tree People, first spraying a cloud of insects that corroded the wood, then feasting on it, the whole process silent until many areas had developed centers of infection.

This tactic, which had even left the God of Life helpless, was eventually overcame by Ange burning down the original Tree of Life along with the insects and later reviving it with Insect Ash Liquid.

However, just because the God of Life was helpless didn't mean the War Tree was; the War Tree Man was shocked and immediately started secreting tree glue frantically in its body, trying to stick to all the insects, and if not, at least block all their paths.

But in doing so, it could no longer focus on Ange. Yet, upon reflection, the interior insects were more life-threatening; the exterior insect, capable of flying, had been jabbing it with electric needles for a while yet without causing any damage.

Covering the top Black Crystal, the War Giant Tree turned its thoughts inward and found that the insects were nibbling on the tree sap it secreted. As they nibbled, they were unable to digest and, with popping sounds, the insects exploded into puddles of spherical eggs.

If it were just one or two places, the War Giant Tree could have simply plucked them out, but now that the insects covered its entire body, unless someone like Ange helped it burn them off and then revive, it would have to think of another way.

However, before it could come up with a better solution, those spherical eggs left by the exploding insects started to move; a large puddle of eggs from a single insect all hatched in a very short time.

The newly hatched insects devoured their eggshells and then threw themselves at the tree sap, voraciously feeding on it.

Just when the Giant Tree thought these new insects would be burst by the tree sap, the insects grew a bit and excreted indigestible hard pellets.

For the first time, the War Giant Tree felt danger and madly secreted new tree sap.

After the new insects finished the old tree sap, they grew larger and then started on the new sap. But just after ingesting it, the insects suddenly flipped onto their backs and died.

Then their bodies burst open into a puddle of spherical eggs.

Now that the War Giant Tree knew these spherical balls were insect eggs, it quickly secreted tree sap to cover them. However, as soon as it covered some, the insects in other areas sensed it, and some still alive threw themselves on top of the eggs, using their bodies to protect them.

The insect eggs laid by those who had eaten the new tree sap successfully hatched and continued to consume everything in sight. Thus, a battle between insects and plants began through this strange method.

The War Giant Tree continuously tried methods to exterminate the insects, while the insects, through rapid evolution, continued to survive, grow, expand, and defend against the Giant Tree's extermination.

Both sides had their advantages and disadvantages. The War Giant Tree's advantage lay in its strength; it was a Void-level War Giant Tree, so powerful that even the God of Life couldn't defeat it, and only Ange could intervene.

Moreover, it had lived for who knows how many years and had inherited much from the God of Life's parent strain; it had plenty of tricks up its sleeve.

However, its disadvantage was also clear; the insects had spread throughout its body, and many methods were unusable, relying only on the constantly emerging tree sap and toxins.

For the insects, the Giant Tree's advantage was their disadvantage, and the Giant Tree's disadvantage was their advantage. Normally, the evolution and hatching of insect eggs would not be so rapid, but in the Void, Ange had already left his footprint on a piece of shattered rock.

Considering the current situation, the Giant Tree couldn't completely rid itself of the insects, and the insects couldn't inflict fatal damage either, causing a stalemate. Unfortunately, the Giant Tree didn't have much time left because, besides the insects, Ange was also waiting for a chance.

While the Giant Tree was fully focused on exterminating the insects, it suddenly felt something rumbling into its body, creating numerous crisscrossing channels along its body at high speed.

These channels all focused on the area where the top Black Crystal was embedded, interweaving into a 'net' that sliced off the section containing the Black Crystal before the Giant Tree could react, sending it flying away.

The Black Crystal, along with the large piece of tree it was embedded in, drifted far into the Void.

The Giant Tree emitted an angry rustling noise, its hands flailing wildly, trying to retrieve the Black Crystal.

But at this moment, Ange displayed his true power, punching the Giant Tree's hands one by one, with a golden Giant Dragon phantom rising behind him.
