This locust tree is huge, and its underground root system extends in all directions.
When these tree roots were pulled up from the ground, the entire area of hundreds of meters was completely occupied by tree roots. Except for a few main roots that were still rooted in the ground, it seemed at a glance that there were countless tentacles waving in the air.
Filled with anger, Luo Yuan's rationality had dropped to its lowest point. Without any hesitation, he rushed into the attack circle of tree roots with a long knife. In an instant, countless dense tree roots suddenly burst into flames like a giant snake with its tail stepped on. He got up and started to attack Luo Yuan crazily.
The surrounding wind was howling, sand and soil were flying, and even several boulders weighing hundreds of kilograms were tumbling around under the influence of tree roots with an astonishing momentum.
If an ordinary person were in it, even if he hadn't been smashed into pulp by the tree roots, he would probably have been shot into thousands of holes by the dense bullet-like stones that filled the entire space, turning him into a puddle of flesh.
Even Luo Yuan couldn't dodge for a while and was hit by several stones with astonishing speed, but he was instantly bounced away by the thin film of will on his surface.
The thin film of will on his body looked dull compared to the light on the blade, and was countless times thinner than soap bubbles. It seemed to burst with a blow and break with a touch. Unless it was at night, it would be invisible to the naked eye. But it is such a light film, even if it is hit by a high-speed stone, it will only dim a little, and it will return to its previous brightness in a snap of a finger.
However, Luo Yuan, who was in the middle of the battle at this time, could not be distracted. His eyes were sharp and he moved forward unwaveringly. Under the airtight tree roots, he moved and jumped between square inches like an ape, dancing with his horse-killing sword in an airtight manner.
These tree roots were broken by the sharp knife and cracked when they touched each other. The thick tree roots fell from behind him, twitching continuously.
As Luo Yuan advanced step by step, more and more tree roots were cut off behind him, and the distance between the two slowly but firmly closed.
Perhaps it felt that a disaster was coming, the locust tree became more and more irritable and restless. It struggled to wave the remaining roots and attacked crazily. Because of the reduction of roots, the entire locust tree could no longer maintain its balance. The entire huge trunk swayed from left to right. On the right, tilted, the huge umbrella cover shook violently in the air, making a rustling sound.
At this moment, the rough face on the main trunk of the locust tree seemed to be slightly cracked around the eyes. It looked as if the eyes that had been closed suddenly opened, and a faint light shone in the eyes.
Luo Yuan's heart suddenly palpitated, and he couldn't even maintain his anger for a while. He only felt an indescribable sense of crisis rising from his heart, and there was no way to avoid it. His whole person froze instantly.
The next moment, a silent roar crossed the space and instantly hit his body in the form of an invisible ripple. The thin film of will on his surface shattered instantly at the slightest contact, and then his mind went blank and he lost consciousness.
…
I don’t know how long it took before he slowly woke up.
He quickly looked around with vigilance. In fear, he retreated without even caring about the attack, and quickly exited the attack range of the locust tree.
Only then did he look towards the locust tree, with a trace of surprise on his face.
The locust tree was motionless, as if the attack just now had exhausted all its energy. Countless tree roots were scattered on the exposed grass. These tree trunks were slowly squirming and heading underground. However, this speed seemed weak compared to the violent attack just now.
Even the originally lush leaves had begun to turn yellow and fluttered down from the air. In a short period of time, this locust tree seemed to be on the verge of dying.
Seeing this scene, Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little scared in his heart.
This time it was too thrilling. If I still had my sense, how could I be so reckless
I thought that I had already suffered one of its attacks, but I still wasn't alert at all.
It seems that although using anger can temporarily improve combat effectiveness, it gives up the greatest advantage of human beings in the end of the world - wisdom and caution. Instead, it puts oneself into an extremely dangerous situation. If not for luck this time, even if it still has the power of one blow, I'm afraid that he is already a puddle of flesh now, and even after death, his soul will be enslaved by the locust tree and become a part of the other party.
Faced with such slow-moving plant-like mutant creatures, perhaps just a barrel of gasoline can easily solve it.
Thinking about it now, he felt a little frightened.
But what happened with the attack just now? It seemed to be a direct attack on the soul. Even the thin film of will on the surface couldn't stop it for a moment, and it was directly attacked into the mind. Even though he had regained consciousness now, his brain was still groggy as if it had been turned into a mess.
Luo Yuan secretly thought that he had seen the ghost. At this time, he was already convinced of the existence of the soul.
At this time, he felt his nostrils were itchy, and when he touched them with his hands, there was blood. Then he discovered that not only his nostrils, but also his ears and eyes were bleeding.
With a look of shock on his face, he carefully took a few steps and found that his movements were normal, his hands and feet were flexible, and he had no loss of vision or hearing. Then he felt a little relieved.
He rested for a while and finally looked at the locust tree again: "It's time to solve it."
This huge locust tree seemed to be able to feel Luo Yuan's malicious gaze, and its body shook involuntarily. The roots that were about to be inserted into the ground were slowly pulled out again, but it seemed to be unable to do so.
Luo Yuan smiled coldly and walked forward step by step. A few nearby tree roots flicked feebly before giving up.
The blurry face in the center of the tree trunk gradually changed, and finally revealed an anthropomorphic pleading expression, and the entire tree crown made a soft rustling sound.
Luo Yuan was unmoved. He picked up the sword and suddenly accelerated his speed. He struck the tree trunk with a heavy blow!
The dark blue level sword was extremely sharp, as if cutting into tofu, and it passed smoothly without causing any hindrance.
The tree trunk shook violently. Under the stimulation of death, the surrounding tree roots activated their final potential and began to twitch violently. Several tree roots even wanted to fight back, but Luo Yuan easily cut them off one by one. He did not dare to delay for long. , to avoid any further accidents.
Under the continuous slashes of the war horse's sword, the huge locust tree like a skyscraper finally collapsed, completely crushing a nearby half-collapsed building, causing a small earthquake on the ground.
After Luo Yuan waited for more than ten seconds, a series of prompts for the completion of the task rang:
"Hey, E-level mission: E-level mission, finding and eliminating the reasons for the missing people in Jingyue Community has been completed. Mission completion time: seven hours and thirty-six minutes; mission rating: good!"
"Reward basic experience value +1600!"
"Evaluation: Average, experience value +800!"
"Experience: 4300/19200!"
Luo Yuan looked at his current experience points and sighed. There was still a long way to go before he could upgrade. This amount of experience was only a fraction.
Upgrading is getting slower and slower now. If you want to upgrade to level eight, you still have to complete at least six or seven E-level tasks even if every task is rated well. If it is dark blue level...
He quickly gave up this dangerous idea. This was simply asking for death.
Even a blue-level mutant beast had some bumps and bruises, and could be seriously injured if he was not careful, not to mention those dark blue-level overlords. Thinking about the dark blue-level mutant creatures he had encountered before, his scalp felt numb!
Just as Luo Yuan was about to go back to sleep, he saw something glowing in the trunk of the fallen locust tree from the corner of his eye.
He walked over doubtfully and found that the light source was located slightly deep in the center of the tree trunk. The nearby wood looked particularly deadly, completely different from other places. If he had cut it a little higher, he would have cut it off directly. Curious, he picked up the knife and dug carefully.
No matter how deadly the wood is, it is so powerless under the deep blue level sword. As the surrounding wood was cut away one by one by Luo Yuan, a green crystal the size of a pigeon egg soon fell into the palm of his hand.
This crystal is round and has light dark mysterious patterns on its surface. It looks like finely carved jade.
But it looks greener, full of green vitality, and the whole body exudes a faint light. Even if it is pitch dark outside, it still exudes a transparent green light.
Luo Yuan held this round crystal and suddenly found that his heart felt peaceful. His whole soul seemed to be continuously nourished by being soaked in warm water, and even his previously groggy mind seemed to gradually become clearer.
Feeling something strange in his body, he immediately realized that this thing was not simple, and he quickly used an identification technique.
"The Heart of Ghost Sophora"
"Rarity: Blue."
"Weight: 100g."
"Texture: Soul-type active crystal."
"Additional abilities: Will +1, Perception +1"
"Evaluation: This is a rare active crystal. Its value far exceeds its evaluation. As long as you carry it with you, it can speed up the recovery of consumed willpower and perception, and play a bonus role."
Although the information was simple, Luo Yuan chewed it over and over several times.
He then noticed that his perception had unknowingly increased a lot. It had spread from the original twenty meters to a radius of thirty meters, and his perception was clearer and more detailed. Even the swing of a piece of grass could be heard. Reflected vividly in my heart.
Will is not easy to experiment with. After all, most of it has been consumed before, but there is no longer the uncontrollable situation of thoughts when the will was greatly consumed before.
What is ecstasy? Luo Yuan was ecstatic at this moment. Even though he tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, he couldn't help but smile.
But sitting in meditation for a long time is not in vain. After a while, my mind completely calmed down.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that there were several people lying not far away before. The situation was urgent and there was no good way to do it, so he had to knock them out one by one. Then Luo Yuan was besieged by ghosts, and he couldn't care about them for a while. , so much so that they are still lying outside, hoping that they will survive this time and escape this disaster.
Luo Yuan walked over quickly and soon saw the figures of several people lying on the ground. Perhaps it was due to the fierce fighting here. The surrounding low-level mutant beasts had far away from this area. Fortunately, several people safe and sound.
Luo Yuan woke them up one by one. When they woke up with confused faces, they found that they were no longer in the familiar basement, but in the dark wilderness. Except for Ning Xiaoran, it was better because of her "experience" during the day. Some and the remaining people were frightened, and they obviously collapsed. A few women even screamed.
Luo Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and snorted coldly:
"Looking at your performance one by one, I can only say that it is luck that you can survive until now. However, this luck may always be surrounding you. You are lucky today because I followed you. If I didn't follow you, you I'm afraid it's already in the mutated beast's belly."
"If you're scared, then bear with me. If you can't help it, just wipe your neck with a knife, because it's more terrifying to continue living than to die." Luo Yuan would not be as gentle to them as he was to Wang Shishi.
After all, he is not a charity, and he has no obligation to support these people in vain. In fact, he doesn't expect much help from these people. Raising them is only a moral influence before the end of the world.
But at least it can't be held back. In a situation like today's, the Guihuai army was wiped out in one fell swoop when it showed a little bit of its power. Now that I think about it, as long as the willpower is a little stronger, I should be able to resist this invisible fascination, but in the end, no one can hold on.
Even Master Wang, who is an evolver, was also tricked. This is really...
However, considering that Master Wang is still a minor and immature, it is understandable.
But several adults behave like this. It cannot but be said that they are too fragile, and the life before the apocalypse has corroded their bodies and minds. If they continued to behave so badly, he would have to harden his heart and drive them away.
Hearing Luo Yuan's cold voice, there was a sudden silence around him.
