Chapter 657 Return to the Red Maple Base

"The temperature is getting higher and higher..."

On the way to Hongfeng Base, Wang Tao frowned as he felt the body surface temperature getting higher and higher.

Judging from the current situation, it is not surprising that the temperature continues to rise. But it’s not like it rose by one degree in more than thirty minutes, right? At this rate, it will rise to 100 degrees in a few days. But in fact, the current temperature is still over fifty degrees... The actual temperature and the theoretical increase in temperature are obviously not consistent.

"Is it because the sun is rising?"

Looking at the dazzling sun in the sky, Wang Tao was not sure.

Because the current high temperature actually comes from underground. It gets hotter as you go underground, and it seems to have nothing to do with the sun...

While he was thinking in his mind, Wang Tao did not lose focus and kept staring at the situation below. Looking forward to meeting a zombie with the power of the primary law of fire.

There were quite a few zombies on the road, including disaster zombies, and Wang Tao also killed a few of them. But until he arrived outside the Red Maple Base, not to mention the zombies with the power of fire laws, even the zombies with the power of other laws. Didn't see it.

"It's so hot!" Wang Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead. The temperature near the Red Maple Base must be over sixty degrees, right?

Wang Tao discovered along the way that the high temperature was not due to the rising sun, but the higher he flew to the Red Maple Base, the higher the temperature became!

It was better when he was flying in the sky, but when he landed on the ground to kill zombies, he could feel that the surface temperature was hotter than the air, and his feet felt a little hot. I don't know how the people at the Red Maple Base persisted... …

Chirp——

The golden eagle flew over the red maple base and let out a cry.

It was obvious that the people inside the base were a little panicked, but after seeing the golden eagle, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

When the golden eagle flew unimpeded outside the city hall, there was already a group of people waiting.

Looking at the huge creature in front of them, everyone opened their mouths. When Wang Tao came last time, the golden eagle didn't seem to be that big, right? Becoming stronger again?

The space inside the Hongfeng base was very limited, and there was no place where the golden eagle could land. After Wang Tao jumped off the golden eagle's back, he let the golden eagle play by himself.

"Mr. Wang, welcome!"

Mayor Xiang Bo, Fiery Gang leader Tu Li, military commander Han Youlin and others immediately gathered around excitedly.

Although they don't know how strong Wang Tao is, the fact that Wang Tao dares to come alone shows that Wang Tao is confident in his ability to solve problems. They have been troubled by that mutant plant for a long time, and they should be able to solve it this time!

"Hello everyone, we meet again!"

Wang Tao smiled and shook hands with several people, then looked around and said in a surprised tone:

"Before I came here, I thought it would be very hot here, but I didn't expect it was only around 30 to 40 degrees..."

Thirty or forty degrees is also considered a high temperature, but compared with the weather outside which can frequently reach 50 or 60 degrees, this is already considered cool.

Hearing Wang Tao's words, several people showed a smile on their faces.

"It can only be said that our lives should not be cut off! Some time ago we discovered a special mutant plant that can lower the temperature..."

Han Youlin pointed to a lantern tree.

Wang Tao looked in the direction pointed by Han Youlin and was suddenly surprised.

On this lantern tree, there is a mutant plant that looks like a snake and a grass. It is motionless, as if it is asleep, and a trace of cold air is emanating from it.

[HP: 300000/300000]

[Blue amount: 100000/100000]

[Level: Level 3·Elite]

[Condition: Frost and cold]

[Frost and Cold: The own movement speed is reduced, and the temperature within a certain range is reduced]

This mutated plant has a [Status], which is ice attribute. But this state is completely incomparable to the freezing aura, but for the survivors of the Red Maple Base, this non-dangerous [Frost Cold Air] is just right!

"When we went out before, we accidentally entered a forest and found that the temperature there was extremely low, which was very strange. After some searches, we found that this low temperature was emitted by this mutant plant, and then we gave these mutant plants to They are not aggressive at all. As long as they are provided with food, they can continue to emit this cold air. However, since there are not many of them, they cannot fill the entire base, so the temperature can only be lowered slightly. ...But no matter what, this mutant plant we named 'Cold Grass' saved our lives! Otherwise, the high temperature of more than 60 degrees would have killed many people..."

Han Youlin explained it to Wang Tao in detail.

"I see... Then you are indeed lucky!"

Wang Tao nodded.

I have to say that they were really lucky to have picked up this kind of thing when it was hot. In this kind of weather, for people like them, "Cold Air Grass" is undoubtedly an artifact!

But Wang Tao's words made Han Youlin sigh.

"Alas, our luck seems to have run out since we picked up the Cold Grass. Since then, we have often encountered all kinds of troubles. The team that went out has lost a lot of people, and recently we have provoked a terrifying existence... "

"What kind of trouble did you encounter exactly?"

Wang Tao asked curiously.

They didn't go into details before, they just said that they encountered a very strong mutant plant and they couldn't handle it. That mutated plant had threatened the safety of their base, so they asked Changhe Base for help...

"Mr. Wang, let's go in and talk..."

Han Youlin and his party took Wang Tao to the city hall, and then explained carefully to Wang Tao:

"We encountered that mutated plant ten days ago. At that time, an elite team went out to explore and suddenly lost contact. After I got the news, I sent three teams to search, and it turned out that these three teams also lost contact... …”

"These people are the real elites of our Red Maple Base. We lost four teams in a row, which is a huge loss to the base. So I am going to personally lead people to search. At least I want to see the people alive, and I want to see the corpses... …”

"After we arrived at the location where we lost contact with several teams, we started a blanket search. As a result, the team members did not see it. Instead, we found a very terrifying monster in a cave!"

"No matter what kind of strength a person is, as long as he is near that monster, he will feel weak, as if his vitality is passing away, and his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. He will even die if he stays for a while!"

"And this was even when the monster didn't find us. When it found us and was running towards us, the feeling of losing its life force became even stronger. We even couldn't walk!"

"But the monster was not very fast. We finally escaped at the cost of several lives."

"And those people who died...the monster didn't even make a move, it just let their life force drain away and died!"

"Of course, if it were just like this, we wouldn't ask you for help. At worst, we would just not go to that place. Anyway, that place is still far away from our base."

"But someone saw the monster again seven days ago, but it was not at its original location - it left the cave and now stays closer to our base..."

"At that time, we were still a little bit lucky, thinking that it might not be coming to us, it might just be a coincidence. But five days ago, someone discovered it again, and it was closer to our base!"

"Even if its target is not our base, according to this route, it will definitely pass by our base!"

"So we tried to lure it away. We were faster than it. In theory, it was possible to lure it away. But unfortunately, its ability to make people lose their vitality was too strong, and we couldn't get close. . Although we bought the crystal energy gun from you, it seems to have no effect on it, and it doesn't care much. After trying various methods, we finally had no choice but to give up..."

"Three days ago, it was much closer to our base. According to its speed, it will probably pass by our base tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. If it rushes into our base, ordinary survivors will probably be killed in an instant. Violent death..."

"We really have no choice but to ask your Changhe Base for help..."

Wang Tao did not interrupt Han Youlin's words. He waited until he finished speaking and looked at Wang Tao expectantly. Then Wang Tao spoke:

"From your introduction, that monster is obviously a sixth-level disaster-level creature. It's normal that you can't deal with it..."

Han Youlin and others are the strongest people in the Red Maple Base, but currently they only have the strength of fifth-level awakeners. Relying on their tacit cooperation, they can still fight a sixth-level lord, but not the sixth-level disaster.

The blood loss of Disaster Awakening is unreasonable. Without long-range attack capabilities, powerful healing capabilities, or the ability to restore blood or suck blood, it is simply impossible to kill disaster-level creatures by leapfrogging.

Only those with the same level of strength are barely qualified to fight disaster-level creatures, and it is difficult to win.

In addition to Wang Tao, Ding Yuqin and the others had to be fully prepared to be on the safe side when hunting for the sixth level disaster level, and then fight in groups.

Therefore, people like Han Youlin are not even at level six, and they do not have particularly powerful long-range attack capabilities or powerful healing awakeners. It is normal that they cannot compete with that disaster-level creature.

It's also thanks to the slow speed of the disaster-level creature, otherwise with Han Youlin's strength, not many of them would be able to come back alive.

"Huh? Catastrophic level?"

Han Youlin and others were a little confused after hearing Wang Tao's words. It was the first time they heard the term.

"Uh, you don't know?" Wang Tao was a little speechless. When communicating before, he didn't say disaster level?

Wang Tao suddenly felt that the Red Maple Base was really lucky. Disaster-level creatures had appeared a long time ago. He didn't know how many he had killed. This was the first time he saw these people...

But just one sixth-level disaster-level creature can put their base of hundreds of thousands of people into existential crisis, but Wang Tao and the others can kill indiscriminately... It can only be said that the strength gap between the two bases is still too big. .

After shaking his head, Wang Tao gave them a brief introduction to what disaster level means.

After listening to this, several people suddenly felt that they were lucky enough to escape from such a terrifying creature.

"Disaster level...it really deserves the name of 'disaster'!"

Han Youlin sighed. Then he looked at Wang Tao nervously. Can Wang Tao defeat such a powerful disaster-level creature?

If Wang Tao can't handle it, isn't their base really doomed?

As if he could see the anxiety of several people, Wang Tao said:

"Don't worry, it's just a sixth-level disaster-level creature, it's not a big problem. But then again, the apocalypse has been here for such a long time, and there are no other disaster-level creatures here. You are really lucky..."

"We also think we are lucky..."

Seeing Wang Tao's confident look, Han Youlin and others were relieved.

Wang Tao then said:

"Where is the specific location? I'll go find it."

Han Youlin immediately took out the map that he had prepared long ago, with several marks on it. These marks were the location of the disaster-level mutant plant they had discovered.

"Disaster-level creatures are still too dangerous for you, and I don't have healing abilities... So I can go by myself, and you wait for my news at the base."

Wang Tao put away the map and stood up.

"...Yes, we are waiting for good news from Mr. Wang at the base!"

Han Youlin and others actually wanted to go with them. After all, it was a disaster-level creature, and they wanted to know how Wang Tao hunted it. But Wang Tao could withstand the awakening of the disaster, but they couldn't. If they went, they would become a burden, so they didn't dare to say much in the end.

Wang Tao did not stay too long at the Red Maple Base. After determining the location of the disaster-level creature, he called the golden eagle and flew directly to the nearest marked location on the map.

A moment later, Wang Tao saw a red forest.

According to the markings on the map, if you continue to move forward along the mangroves, you should be able to encounter the disaster-level creature.

Wang Tao asked the golden eagle to fly slower. At a certain moment, Wang Tao suddenly found that his blood volume was slowly decreasing. He immediately lowered his head, glanced around, and locked the target at once.

"Found it, go."

Chi——

At Wang Tao's signal, the golden eagle carried Wang Tao and dived directly towards the opponent.

[Health: 1000000/1000000]

[Mana: 0/0]

[Level: Sixth Order Disaster]

[Impurities in the body: 52%]

[Disaster Awakening: Life Passing]

[Life Passing: Surrounding Life Continues to Lose Blood]

This is a mutant plant that looks like a dead tree. It is covered with branches and trunks, and it is unclear where the eyes and mouth are. Its disaster awakening is [Life Loss], which is also common among disaster-level creatures.

But Wang Tao frowned, because this disaster-level mutant plant actually has the power of the primary law. After Wang Tao's perception, this primary law power is still systematic, and he can use it.

But the problem is that Wang Tao doesn't really want to obtain other primary law strengths now, and his fire attribute law strength has not yet been settled.

"Forget it, since I'm here... I'm still 20% short of the primary law power, so it won't be a big problem even if I kill it."
