Chapter 483 Experimental Fruit

Thinking of the introduction of [Growth Fruit], Wang Tao thought that maybe he could use mutant plants to experiment, after all, there are many mutant plants here. And he now has two [Growth Fruit] in his hand. According to the 50% success rate, one must succeed, right?

Do it as you think of it. After Wang Tao collected the spoils, he went to look for mutant plants again.

However, after all, there are only two fruits. Adhering to the principle of using steel on the blade, the mutant plant elites were naturally skipped by him. At least they must be mutant plant lords, and it is best to be fifth-level. After all, the fourth-level lord is not Wang Tao's opponent at all, even if his strength is improved.

Not long after, Wang Tao encountered mutant plants again, but this was a group of fifth-level mutant plant elites.

After confirming that there was no lord, Wang Tao did not use [Scorching Eye] again, but rushed up directly with a thick steel whip.

A moment later, all these plants were smashed by Wang Tao, and it was a mess.

Wang Tao continued to explore.

However, the more he wanted, the less he got. Wang Tao wanted to meet a fifth-level lord, preferably two, but he had been looking for a long time and didn't know how many fifth-level elites he had killed, but he didn't even see a fifth-level lord.

And Wang Tao found that this second floor was different from the first floor, and it seemed much smaller. When he was on the first floor, he couldn't feel where the boundary was at all, as if it was an infinitely wide space.

But on this second floor, he had hit the wall in three directions in a row. Except for the first stone wall that seemed to be able to be climbed over, the other two stone walls were connected to the ceiling and there was no place to climb over... And Wang Tao didn't find any entrance to the third floor, if there was one.

He was now walking in the last direction. If he continued to hit the wall, it would mean two problems-

This second-level space has been explored by him alone; if he wants to continue to explore the second floor, he will most likely have to climb over the flat stone wall he saw before.

Wang Tao didn't want to finish exploring the second floor so quickly. He wanted to continue killing fifth-order mutant plants, and he hadn't had a chance to test his [Growth Fruit] yet...

After a while, Wang Tao saw a good news and a bad news.

The good news is that he saw two fifth-order mutant plant lords again! His plan can be implemented.

The bad news is that the two fifth-order mutant plants here are near the last stone wall, which is directly connected to the ceiling. In other words, this second floor was really explored by Wang Tao and his dog, and the mutant plants were almost killed by Wang Tao. The only two fifth-order mutant plant lords are left on the entire second floor...

Wang Tao was helpless, and he didn't know if he could find another place to hunt fifth-order lords. But at least there are two fifth-order mutant plant lords, which is not bad.

After thinking about it, Wang Tao didn't go to hunt them immediately, but contacted Ding Yuqin and planned to call Ding Yuqin and the others over.

The second floor has been confirmed to be safe. There are only two fifth-level mutant lords. Wang Tao can deal with them alone. Naturally, they will not pose any threat to them. It is also good to let them fight more fifth-level lords and accumulate experience.

When Wang Tao came to the entrance of the second floor, Ding Yuqin and others arrived. Let them park the car outside, and everyone followed Wang Tao down.

"It's very wrong here..."

"My body suddenly became much heavier..."

"I feel like I'm suppressed..."

"..."

After entering the second floor, everyone spoke subconsciously.

Wang Tao frowned immediately. When he found this passage before, Xiang Hongbin and others also told them that the second floor made them feel very uncomfortable, as if they were suppressed. If they came to the second floor, their combat effectiveness should be affected.

What Wang Tao thought at the time was that there might be too much black fog, which made them, who did not have dark attributes, somewhat uncomfortable.

But when they really came to the second floor, Wang Tao found that they were really suppressed——

[Suppression: Strength is limited, only 50% can be exerted]

[Suppression: Strength is limited, only 55% can be exerted]

[Suppression: Strength is limited, only 60% can be exerted]

[……]

A "suppression" state appeared above everyone's head. The lowest strength they can exert is 50%, and the most is only 70%... This suppression state seems to be random? Anyway, Wang Tao can't find any pattern for the time being.

And animals like Lightning, Xiaohei, and Xiaobing, although they are very alert and look like they are facing a great enemy, they are not suppressed, and their strength is still at a normal level.

This made Wang Tao frown. He thought that it might be that other people have not awakened the dark attribute, so they were affected by the black fog. But now it seems that it is not like black fog. After all, Lightning and the others are fine...

"Your strength has been weakened..."

Wang Tao explained it to them briefly, which immediately made everyone a little panicked.

Strength is something that can only be known after fighting. So they may not feel it clearly at ordinary times, at most they feel something is not right, but if they find out something is wrong during the battle, it will be too late.

Fortunately, Wang Tao informed them in advance, so they were mentally prepared. But even so, they were still panicking. After all, strength is the foundation of survival. Without strength in this place, it would be fatal!

"But don't worry, I have cleared all the mutant plants on the second floor. It is safe for the time being. There are only two fifth-level mutant plant lords left..."

Wang Tao comforted them and asked them to test again.

Then he found that this suppression should have nothing to do with the black fog. Even if he removed all the black fog around them, Ding Yuqin and the others were still suppressed. The black fog only made them uncomfortable, and it would not suppress their strength. And he was not affected at all...

Wang Tao was different from others in many ways. For example, he awakened three times, while others awakened once; he had the most awakening energy...

But the biggest difference is nothing more than one point - he is a fifth-level awakener, while others are fourth-level awakeners!

So Wang Tao felt that this situation was most likely related to the level. Perhaps there is some kind of "rule" against humans on the second floor. This rule suppresses the fourth-level awakeners, and only the fifth-level awakeners can exert their full strength...

And it is not difficult to prove whether this conclusion is right. Wang Tao will find some third-level and second-level psychics to try and see if they are suppressed and how much they are suppressed, then we can see...

But that will be a matter for the future. Now the first task is to deal with the two fifth-level mutant lords.

Wang Tao brought everyone to the vicinity of the two mutant plants. He dispersed the surrounding black fog so that everyone could see the target.

These are two trees that look the same. They are black in color, about five meters tall, very sturdy, and feel a bit short and fat. There are dense black leaves on the trees, and among those leaves, there are some smooth black fruits...

[Health: 400,000/400,000]

[Mana: 200,000/200,000]

[Level: Fifth-level Lord]

[Awakening: Seed Shooting]

[Seed Shooting: Shoot your own seeds to cause damage]

These two mutant trees both have 400,000 health points, and their strength is obviously not weak.

Moreover, it is different from other mutant plants that Wang Tao has encountered before. The mutant plants that he has seen before can move the upper part, and only the roots of the lower part cannot move, but their roots are well hidden and not easy to find.

And looking at the appearance of these two big trees, they should be completely unable to move.

This is naturally good news for Wang Tao and his team. They can't move, and they are so big...they are the targets of everyone's attack.

But there is a problem. Their awakening is a long-range attack!

No wonder they can't move at all. It turns out that there are means of long-range attack.

Wang Tao told everyone about the situation of the two mutant trees and asked everyone to take precautions.

Then his eyes glowed red, and two high-temperature rays instantly shot at one of the mutant trees.

Others also took out their own means of long-range attack. If they really had no means, they would use guns to attack the same tree.

Since the two mutant trees here cannot move, there is no need to attack at the same time. Just attack the one closest to them and break them one by one.

Zizi——

[-15203]

[-15392]

[-15611]

[……]

This tree has a high defense, and Wang Tao's high temperature ray can only cause 15,000 damage.

The damage of others is even lower, especially those who use guns, a bullet can only cause dozens of points of damage...

And this mutant tree has the ability to recover blood. Although the blood recovery is not much, bullets are basically ineffective against it.

The blood recovery of the mutant tree is a bit beyond Wang Tao's expectations, but it is not a big problem. No matter how fast it recovers blood, it can't be compared with his attack. It only takes more than ten seconds of high temperature ray to kill it!

However, the mutant tree obviously cannot be attacked by Wang Tao in vain. Just one second after Wang Tao and his people attacked it, the mutant tree shook instantly, and the black leaves on it made a rustling sound. At the same time, the black fruits were completely exposed, and then, with a "bang", the fruits exploded directly. As the fruit exploded, something like a steel ball flew towards Wang Tao!

Wang Tao had warned them long ago, so they were prepared for the attack of the big tree and hid behind some boulders.

Although these stones are not as hard as the stones in the stone forest, they are not much different. It is obviously a natural defense.

But what Wang Tao didn't expect was that when a seed fell on the stone, it directly smashed a big hole in the stone! When several seeds fell on a stone at the same time, the huge stone shattered with a bang!

"Oh my! Such high damage!"

Xiang Hongbin was a little shocked. Even in his prime, he couldn't leave too many traces on such a stone, but the mutant tree only had a few seeds, which made such a big stone explode.

"Everyone lie on the ground!"

Wang Tao immediately asked everyone to lie down.

There are many stones here. Although [Seed Shooting] can destroy stones, it takes some effort to destroy so many stones.

Everyone waited for a while, and the sound of shooting finally disappeared slowly. Wang Tao raised his head and observed carefully. He saw new fruits appearing on the two big trees. These fruits were small, but they were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

“Is the skill in the cooldown period?”

Wang Tao did not hesitate and immediately called on everyone to attack.

“Attack!”

Swoosh——

Various ranged attacks instantly fell on the mutant tree. The damage from other people's attacks could only offset the mutant tree's blood recovery ability. Wang Tao's high temperature ray was the main attack method.

However, only a few seconds later, the fruits on the mutant tree began to explode again.

Wang Tao asked people to lie down again.

Another violent explosion sounded, and many stones in front of everyone were blown up again.

After the explosion stopped, Wang Tao raised his head again and attacked again with high temperature ray.

In fact, Wang Tao felt that he should be able to go to close combat when the sparks spread across the prairie, but if he was too close, the two mutant trees would use this all-round and indiscriminate seed shooting at the same time, and he might have nowhere to hide.

So there was no need to take this risk. Using ranged attacks honestly would only consume more awakening energy.

Wang Tao used [Scorching Eye] three times, each time for a few seconds. The tree could not move, so it took all the damage and now had 150,000 blood left.

Wang Tao immediately stopped attacking, and while the fruit on the mutant tree was still not big, he threw a [Growth Fruit] directly over.

Wang Tao had a good grasp of his strength, and threw the fruit directly at the foot of the mutant tree.

"I don't know if this mutant tree will eat it..."

The shaking body of the tree seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then a thick branch stretched down, quickly rolled up the [Growth Fruit], and stuffed it into the dense leaves.

"Eat it?"

Before Wang Tao had time to be happy, he saw the tree suddenly shaking wildly, and the word "poisoned" appeared under its blood bar.

[-10000]

[-10000]

[-10000]

[……]

Losing 10,000 blood per second!

"Poisoned! This poison is a bit fierce! Even a fifth-level lord can't stand it..."

Seeing that the mutant tree was about to be poisoned to death, Wang Tao decisively fired high-temperature rays again.

He was not sure whether being poisoned by the fruit was considered murder, so he still had to grab the head.

【-5273】

【0/400000】

The mutant tree's health bar is cleared.

"..."

Wang Tao was a little upset. The first experiment failed... Wang Tao looked at another mutant tree farther away.

"Fortunately, there is still one. I hope it won't fail this time."

Wang Tao immediately attacked the other mutant tree.

The fighting method was the same as before. When the health of this tree was low, Wang Tao threw the last [Growth Fruit] over.

This mutant tree also swallowed the fruit, but this time, there was no poisoning word on its head.

But Wang Tao's eyes widened.

"Fuck! Disaster level?"
