Chapter 242 Fierce Battle Against the Tree Demon
I don't know if this weird big tree has no interest in small bugs. With so many star Gu approaching, there was no movement at all. It seems to be an ordinary big tree, which is very strange.
"If that's the case, then try to attack." Huo Hai smiled slightly, and issued an attack command to a star Gu. In an instant, the speed of Star Gu accelerated to the extreme. Almost in the blink of an eye, Star Gu penetrated a vine on the ground. This vine happened to be a vine that had attacked the spirit beast before. After the Star Gu passed, a small hole was left on the vine.
Different from ordinary wood, apart from a large amount of bark and sawdust, the strangest thing is that there is actually blood flowing out.
Instead of absorbing the blood of spirit beasts and wild beasts, it is the blood that really belongs to the big tree. Red and green, one can tell it's not normal blood. But looking at the degree of fusion, it is obvious that it is not made of tree sap fused with blood.
This kind of big tree is no longer a tree, but a tree demon. Huo Hai's heart shuddered, this tree demon is something between animals and plants. Before Huo Hai finished thinking, the tree demon made a move.
Maybe even the Dryad himself didn't think that he would be injured. A strange roar came from the hole in the tree trunk, which sounded very strange and penetrating. Then the whole ground came into full motion. A large number of vines stretched out, and the tree demon, who had never been attacked before, might be angry after being attacked, or it might be just instinct.
"These are all tree roots." Huo Hai frowned. The vines on the ground, Huo Hai thought they were special vines grown from big trees. But when it was lifted completely, Huo Hai discovered that these were tree roots at all.
There are many thorns on the top of the roots, and these thorns are usually attached to the roots. But when hunting and attacking, these spines will fully unfold. Like a pair of small daggers, they are extremely sharp.
Even Xiao Jin, who was closer, told himself that there was a kind of paralyzing toxin on these thorns. As long as you are injured, you will soon feel numb and unable to move. The toxicity is very strong, even if he is a master of the spirit realm, if he is injured, he will be greatly affected. Then, it will be entangled with tree roots.
The entangled tree roots will pierce more and more thorns into the prey's body, and then quickly draw blood. Without blood, Huo Hai still can't think of any creature that can survive. The mutation of this tree demon is really insidious.
Huo Hai suddenly sneered: "Hehe, if it were someone else, the Spiritual General realm wouldn't be able to do anything to you. What a pity, you have met your nemesis today." After all, the tree demon is a tree demon and is not good at activities.
Both speed and IQ are very weak. The dryad didn't even know that Huo Hai who stayed in the distance was the culprit. But even if it knows, it can't do anything to Huo Hai. In terms of movement speed, the Dryad was far inferior to Huo Hai, and even inferior to ordinary beasts. The dancing vines formed a large cloud-covering scene.
But the dancing speed of these vines is not fast at all. There is still a big gap in it, with the speed of Star Gu, it is really easy to dodge it. Without Huo Hai's order, these star Gu would naturally dodge.
Huo Hai sneered, and gave an attack order in his heart. Under Huo Hai's command, the star Gu turned into streaks of light and penetrated into the roots of the tree. The position where the Star Gu makes his move is very special, it is the root of the tree.
That is, the place where it is tightly attached to the trunk of the big tree. After getting in, it gnawed quickly with its sharp teeth. Soon the roots of the tree will be bitten off one by one. The broken tree root fell to the ground, struggled weakly for a few times, and then stopped moving.
It wasn't that Huo Hai didn't want the Star Gu to bite on the tree trunk. But Huo Hai discovered that the trunk is relatively hard. Even the teeth of Star Gu can cause very limited damage in a short period of time. It has to be said that this special creature really has something special about it. If it was replaced by other creatures, how could there be a part that could resist the teeth of Star Gu.
But even so it doesn't matter. After all, the place where these roots grow is actually not very big. In just a few minutes, nearly one-third of the tree roots were bitten off and fell to the ground.
At this time, no matter how idiot the Dryad was, he knew that his method was useless against these bugs. The roar has never stopped, and I don't know where the dryad is thinking. The dryad finally started to change his moves.
The flowers unfolded again, this time not one, but all the flowers on the entire tree. More than 20 flowers bloomed at the same time. Huo Hai, who was looking at this place from a distance, suddenly changed his expression. If it hadn't just erupted once, there would be no spirit beast or wild beast nearby. Now these spirit beasts and wild beasts must have been attracted and then involved in the battle.
Huo Hai rejoiced for a while: "Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise it would be troublesome." He was so far away, but he could still smell a faint fragrance. This scent is nothing to Huo Hai. But the position just now is different.
More than 20 flowers bloom at the same time, and the toxicity and attractiveness have reached more than 20 times. If he was still in the same place just now, even this smell would be enough to control himself. After that, my own life has nothing to do with me.
This thing is really too dangerous, after experiencing it for a while, and finding that his worms still ignore this toxin, Huo Hai was relieved. "Attack, kill this tree for me." The fear in his heart made Huo Hai furious.
The Star Gus seemed to feel the master's anger, and the speed of moving their mouths was much faster than before. There was a crackling sound, and the roots of the trees were cut off. The dryad seemed to be at the end of its rope, and it only had two tricks back and forth. Once you encounter a creature that is immune to these two tricks, then the dryad can only be slaughtered.
Just like now, from the start of the battle to the present, in less than ten minutes, the tree demon's tree roots have been completely cut off. Without the tree roots, the tree demon has been completely abolished only by relying on these flowers.
Suddenly, Huo Hai remembered something, and immediately ordered: "Xiao Jin, absorb the toxin in the flower, but don't destroy the flower." Xiao Jin, who had been waiting for a long time, instantly turned into a golden light when he heard the order. When it stopped, it had already entered a flower, devouring the poisonous substance in the flower with big mouthfuls.
It didn't take long, as these toxic substances were swallowed up, the surrounding smell became darker. Star Gu was not idle either, after tearing down the tree roots, he quickly started to tear down the flowers. After a while, the flowers were neatly removed.
As Xiao Jin devoured one by one. The fragrance of the flowers became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared without a trace. After Xiao Jin confirmed that the poison was gone, Huo Hai breathed a sigh of relief. Get down from the big tree and slowly approach this side.
At this time, there was only one piece of wood that was still moving on the ground. This is the trunk of the bare tree just now. But now it can't be regarded as a dryad, this is a piece of wood. Both the root and crown of the tree were completely cut off by the Star Gu. The section in the middle is still in constant activity. But even if it is left like this, maybe the tree demon will not survive.
After confirming that there was no problem, Huo Hai approached cautiously. He touched the dryad's trunk with his hand, then carefully released his spiritual power to investigate it. Such a mutated special creature is very likely to be useful.
But soon Huo Hai was disappointed. After some investigation, neither the roots nor the trunk itself were of any use. At least in Huo Hai's opinion, this thing is useless at all. It seems that there is no harvest today.
"Forget it, kill it." Huo Hai waved his hand and ordered Xing Gu to move his mouth. The star Gu, which had been waiting for a long time, gnawed on the tree demon. The terrifying roars stopped soon. Because these places where the sounds were made were all cleaned up under the gnawing of the Star Gu. To Huo Hai's surprise, the trunk was not as hard as he thought.
"What's going on here? Isn't this thing very hard?" Huo Hai stepped forward, resisting the strange smell of red and green blood, and looked at this tree demon that he couldn't explain clearly no matter what method he used.
Frowning, Huo Hai immediately ordered: "Be careful, if you encounter something different, don't break it for me." Star Gu's IQ has recovered a bit now, and it is smarter than before the transformation, so it is easy to understand Huo Hai's mean.
Soon, Huo Hai found the real hard spot on the tree demon. This location, it turned out to be the section between the root of the tree and the trunk. This piece is very hard, even harder than the metal of the black level. Things that can't even be bitten by Star Gu are at least low-grade metals of the Xuan level, and may even be higher. If it is wood.
Huo Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, even if this thing is really useless to him, it must be sold at a very good price after such a hard sell. Ever since refining Star Gu last time, Huo Hai already knew that he is still a poor man.
Except for this relatively hard thing, there is nothing too hard on the tree demon. Those bloods don't have any toxins inside, and they don't have any special effects. Huo Hai just collected a bottle casually, and after taking it back, he asked someone to study it. Perhaps for this thing, the deputy dean who is now researching addiction will be interested.
"Hey, there is actually a crystal nucleus." The Star Gu found a crystal in the body of the tree demon. Huo Hai suddenly thought that he seemed to know that after reaching the realm of spirit beings, a crystal nucleus may appear in the body of spirit beasts.
However, the chance of such crystal nuclei appearing is relatively small, so Huo Hai never cared about it. Most of the spirit beasts that have reached the realm of spirit generals will have crystal nuclei. No matter how you look at it, this mutated tree demon belongs to the spirit general realm.
