Chapter 435: Encirclement and Killing
The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the universe is clear.
The sun shines obliquely on the ground, painting everything in a light golden color.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can find a scarlet color that occupies a large area of the ground.
It is like a constantly woven carpet, with a towering tree as the core, and is constantly spreading in all directions.
The tree appeared after the blood rain.
No one knows how it grew like this.
No one knows how those red roots broke through the surface and turned into dense vines like tentacles, or even like snake coils that gathered together and intertwined.
After all, after the catastrophe brought by the blood rain, all kinds of weird and strange things in the world have emerged one after another.
There are more than one mutated horror monsters, so the emergence of a blood-colored tree is indeed not worthy of special treatment, and there is no need to write about it.
What's more, the people who survived the disaster even have problems surviving normally, so naturally they have no extra mood to pay attention to these things.
In addition to how to get clean drinking water and sufficient food, what they considered was how to stay away from those mutant life forms, not to mention actively approaching to explore the decryption.
For the forces with the ability to explore, this is also a huge expense, many dangers, but no obvious gains can be seen. It is simply not worth the loss.
Therefore, without sufficient interests, whether it is the Advent Blood God Cult, the Resistance Organization, or the newly emerging Qinglian Holy Cult, before the three-party fight is decided, no one has the mind to draw elite forces to explore the truth.
This also gives the blood-colored giant tree more room for expansion.
The dense scarlet tentacles continue to extend outward.
If time is slightly accelerated, it is like a basin of dirty blood poured on the ground, drowning and swallowing all the surrounding green, and everything becomes a monotonous dark red.
One midnight, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
It is pitch dark in the wilderness.
The two cars did not turn on the headlights, but only used the dim small lights to move quickly along a dirt road.
The first car was a pickup truck, and in the back was an extraordinary woman.
She was over three meters tall, with muscles bulging all over her body, and at first glance, she had explosive and terrifying power.
Her breath was filled with a strong smell of blood, and even a large mass of blood mist could be seen lingering around her mouth and nose.
Coupled with the horrible wounds all over her body, she seemed to have been seriously injured and seemed to be on the verge of life and death.
In the cab, a blond strong man was the driver, with a cold green light flashing in his eyes, staring at the undulating road in front of the car.
Qu Fanglong was sitting in the co-pilot seat.
Behind him was Qu Yu with a head full of white hair.
Bai Li from Baishan Group was next to him, with blood stains on the corners of his lips that had not been wiped off. The whole person rolled back and forth with the bumps of the car, but even so, he did not wake up from his coma.
Twenty meters away, the second convertible off-road vehicle followed closely behind.
In addition to the fourth golden ring, there was also a man in tattered silver armor and an expressionless face in the car.
He held a big sword, always paying attention to the surrounding movements, guarding against possible pursuers.
Two cars, one in front and one behind, went straight to the towering shadow in the distance.
It seemed that there was the end of their journey.
A little further away.
Several armed off-road vehicles were following the trail.
Each off-road vehicle had a heavy machine gun fixed on the roof, and the people sitting inside were also fully armed. They were veterans who had been through many battles.
In the front car, a young man in a green shirt sat on the roof, observing the surrounding environment from time to time, and then making a detailed comparison with the intelligence he had.
The driver on the side stepped on the accelerator and took a peek at the Qinglian Immortal Master on the roof of the rear car from time to time. It was as if a flame was burning in his heart. The whole person became extremely excited, and his body couldn't help shaking slightly.
After more than two days of trekking and several small-scale contact battles, their team finally bit the opponent's tail firmly, vowing to take down this gang tonight and send them back to the headquarters for a comprehensive and detailed interrogation.
If these guys are really the target that the Lord of Naraku Peak is looking for, their team will definitely have done a great deed, and they may even be granted the supreme immortal fate.
The immortal touches my head, and I will be immortal after I get married.
Just thinking about it makes people's blood boil, and they wish they could grow wings and fly over the heads of those guys, and then capture them all with thunder and lightning.
The driver moved his body, took out a piece of chocolate from the glove box, bit off half of it and chewed it slowly, savoring the wonderful taste that he had not experienced for a long time.
After the catastrophe caused by the blood rain, as time went by, this kind of food that was originally accustomed to has become a rare good thing.
If it weren't for this pursuit mission, he would not be able to enjoy such a high-level combat supply.
Of course, the most important reason is the immortal master next to him. The old man doesn't like the taste of pure dark chocolate, so it's a bargain for him, a mortal, and he has even achieved unimaginable candy freedom in the past few days.
"Those guys are right in front, getting closer and closer."
The man in green suddenly said, "Notify the people behind to be ready to fight at any time."
At this point, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Among ordinary people, you can barely catch my eye, and your behavior is quite in line with my taste. Therefore, this mission is an opportunity I specially gave you. I hope you will not let me and my junior sister disappointment."
The driver took a deep breath and tried to calm down his trembling tone, "Please rest assured, Immortal Master, I will definitely abide by the Immortal Master's decree and successfully complete the tasks assigned by the Immortal Master."
The man in green nodded and added after a moment of silence.
"Although those werewolves were seriously injured by our seniors, there is no guarantee that they will not hide some desperate means, so when the battle begins, you should be careful and don't be dazzled by the upcoming victory."
"Don't worry, Master Immortal. Although these little cubs behind them look young and tender, they have all gone through more than one dangerous mission. They have rich combat experience, and they all have their own life-saving skills."
"Those who have experienced many dangers and still survive are indeed more or less extraordinary."
The man in green nodded, his eyes falling on a line of ruts not far away, and then looking at the surrounding vegetation, he suddenly discovered something different.
"What did you discover along the way?"
He looked back, his eyes expression thoughtful.
"Returning to Immortal Master, the further we go, the more desolate the environment seems to become."
The driver touched the cigarette on the dashboard and hesitated to pick it up and light it.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and searched for the remaining sweetness of the chocolate on his tongue. "In this season, it seems a little abnormal."
After the blood rain fell and the disaster started, all kinds of plants began to grow wildly.
Even in the steel jungle city, many places have been shrouded in green again, becoming a paradise for all kinds of mutated human and animal activities.
It's just that their pursuit all the way, especially tonight, was like crossing an invisible dividing line. The green that originally filled the field of vision suddenly diminished, and the ground even showed a faint scarlet color, as if they had come to a land. Red desert.
This is indeed an abnormal phenomenon.
The driver avoided a deep pit in front of him, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he thought of a terrible thing.
"Master Immortal, we must not have entered the territory of that mangrove tree."
"According to the information confirmed by previous investigations, the roots of the giant red tree are far from reaching this point."
The man in green frowned slightly and carefully observed the light red mound on one side.
"But looking at the scene in front of us, coupled with the suddenly stronger bloody and chaotic atmosphere in our perception, and the gathering and undissipating vitality of heaven and earth, it is almost certain that we have entered the land covered by the giant red tree."
The driver boldly said carefully, "We haven't seen those flying insects with sharp mouthparts yet, which means that even if they enter the territory of the giant red tree, the team is now at the most peripheral position. The risk is not high."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it goes deeper."
The man in green smiled faintly and said, "We avoided the giant red tree before, not because we were afraid of anything, but simply because we felt that there was no value and meaning in spending time and energy exploring it, and we didn't have enough manpower to take care of this thing.
If the peak master and several elders hadn't been unable to get away, and were all distracted by the large number of monsters behind the Blood God Sect, what kind of waves could a mere tree cause? "
"kindness!?"
The man in green suddenly changed his expression.
"The target we were tracking, they stopped."
"It should be on the slope in front. I can already smell the fishy smell emanating from the werewolf."
At this point, he sighed lowly, "I thought they could run away, but we chased them for less than midnight before we grabbed their tails from behind to see if they could escape." sky."
"Reduce your speed and prepare to fight. The werewolf woman and the silver-armored warrior are very strong. Not only must we guard against their ambush and counterattack, but more importantly, we must capture them alive. Only in this way can we..."
Halfway through his words, the man in green suddenly became silent.
He slowly closed his eyes, his eyebrows trembling.
The ears and tip of the nose tremble slightly at a certain frequency.
His expression also became surprised and confused, as if he had discovered something strange.
"The car is still parked behind the dirt slope."
"However, the people in the car can no longer sense any trace of their existence."
The man in green opened his eyes and breathed out a breath, "In such a short period of time, even if these guys could fly to the sky and escape to the earth, how could they escape to where they could completely avoid my perception?"
"Master Immortal, there is a snake ahead!"
At this moment, the driver slammed on the brakes and stopped the off-road vehicle.
The next moment, he turned on the high beam, and two beams of light intertwined and shot out, illuminating a large area of the ground in front of him.
"This is not a snake, but a bloody vine covered with saw teeth and sharp mouths."
"They are actually alive, twisting and surging like coils of snakes!"
The driver murmured to himself, holding the weapon at hand tightly, as if he wanted to find some subtle inner comfort from the cold metal.
The man in green took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
The expression that was originally confident of victory also became extremely serious at this moment.
"Master Immortal, what should we do next?"
The driver calmed down and suddenly remembered that there was a thick thigh next to him, and his heart was slightly relieved.
But unexpectedly, he did not get any response.
"Master, Master?"
"Master Naifei?"
The entangled friction sound was getting closer and closer, which made the driver panic again and turned his head to look back.
At a glance, he could not help but be stunned on the spot.
He couldn't even believe his eyes.
The high and extraordinary master, who called himself Naifei, disappeared.
The roof of the rear car was empty.
The master who was just condescending to chat with him and said that he would bestow the immortal law and blessings, had left without knowing when, and even left a piece of clothes.
His mind was blank with fear, but he still instinctively engaged the reverse gear, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and reversed and evacuated regardless of anything.
At this moment, facing those red vines that seemed to have life, all the immortals stroking his head and the longevity of marriage had been forgotten. The only thing left was how to survive.
Just kidding, even the immortals ran away. He was just an awakened person with a little power. How could he save his life in such a terrible situation comparable to a disaster.
Not to mention completing the task and going back to collect the so-called reward.
Buzz! ! !
The engine roared violently.
The off-road vehicle did not move.
The next moment, it began to rise against common sense.
All four tires left the ground and were soon lifted to a height of more than ten meters in the air.
Then, the sturdy body began to deform.
It was tightly entangled by the vines like squid tentacles until it exploded, and an orange fireball rose under the night.
Under the dark night, a green light cut through the sky and fled rapidly into the distance.
Naifei looked back again, his eyes fell on those intertwined vines, even with his state of mind, he couldn't help but be a little horrified.
If you just look at those dark red vines, they are actually nothing. Even if there are several times more of them, they can only be destroyed by spending more time.
But what really worries him is the terrifying aura emitted from behind those dark red tentacles.
They are not powerful beings that he can defeat at all.
As for those who chased with him.
He didn't take them seriously.
An elite combat team is nothing.
These natives with a little power will die, and they will be recruited again.
There is also a female cultivator from Naluo Peak, who is actually nothing either, and she will die if she dies.
The only pity is that her strength level is not strong enough.
She failed to break the barriers and achieve the realm of scattered immortals, otherwise she could help him delay more time and allow him to escape further.
As long as he could return to his aunt Naraku, he could report to her everything he had discovered here. When he got her attention, he would not have to worry about any enemy.
Boom!
Naifi turned into a blue rainbow and flew across the night sky.
Then he crashed into the dark clouds without any warning.
The dark cloud rose from the ground, making a sharp buzzing sound, so fast that even he could not react in time.
"This is..."
Naifi narrowed his eyes suddenly.
The dense black flying insects were reflected in his eyes.
They rushed forward fearlessly, even if they were turned into powder by the blue light on their bodies, they continued to rush forward.
It was like a series of black waves, hitting the immovable blue reefs again and again, even if the waves were broken countless times, they did not stop the pace of impact.
Boom!!!
Naifi looked up suddenly.
His eyes penetrated the dense black flying insects, and his suddenly contracted pupils reflected several thick tentacles covered with sharp mouths, like a giant python with a tall and straight body, roaring towards his position.
"Just relying on some insects and scorpions, with no wisdom, only instinctive tentacles, you want to keep me here!?"
"I have a life-saving item given by my aunt!"
Naifei gritted his teeth and took out a green Ruyi from his arms.
A bright light suddenly lit up under the dark night.
In an instant, the dark red tentacles that were roaring melted, and even the entangled and surging insect swarms disappeared in the blink of an eye, no longer as heavy as a mountain.
"This is a holy weapon that contains a trace of celestial power. Using it on these things is simply a waste of heaven's gifts."
Naifei sighed softly and crushed a bug corpse in his hand.
But the next moment, a dense roar sounded in the air.
The ground under his feet also began to move strangely.
Buzz!
The sound of rapidly flapping wings was getting closer and closer.
The wilderness was like the undulating surface of water.
Naifi clenched the emerald green Ruyi in his hand.
He took a deep breath, bit his tongue hard, and sprayed a mouthful of blood on it.
The aura of the whole person was visibly declining.
In return, a dazzling light was shining brightly.
It was like a scorching sun shining in the darkness.
Almost at the same time.
Dense black flying insects were like clouds, and the intertwined dark red tentacles drilled out of the ground, strangling the light that repelled and destroyed everything.
Time passed bit by bit.
A mountain of black and red corpses piled up in the depths of the wilderness.
In the center of the light that had become somewhat dim, Naifi vomited blood again.
He couldn't remember how many times he had activated the holy weapon and how many waves of attacks he had blocked.
He didn't know how long he could hold on.
But now, Naifei couldn't describe his feelings.
He couldn't understand how the originally foolproof late-night pursuit had turned out like this.
Why did those target people disappear without any signs, and why did these damn insects and tentacles insist on entangled him, even at the cost of unimaginable casualties.
He defeated another wave of waves that swept in.
Naifei's expression was dull and his eyes were empty.
At this moment, even the above doubts no longer existed.
In his heart, there was only numbness.
He instinctively activated the treasure given by the Lord of Naraku Peak, constantly stimulating the power contained in it, unaware that the black flying insects and dark red vines had disappeared, leaving only a high mountain of corpses, which was being destroyed by him again and again.
Swish.
Without any signs, a hand stretched out from the side.
He took the dimmed green Ruyi.
At the same time, a gentle and calm male voice sounded and reached the ears of Nafei, who was already on the verge of death.
"This Ruyi is very powerful, and the power contained in it is extremely high. It's a pity that you are a weakling, which caused the treasure to be covered in dust and ruined in your hands."
"You, who are you?"
Nafei used up his last bit of strength and looked up to the front.
He only saw an ordinary young man looking down at the same time.
"I am indeed not strong enough to fully stimulate this celestial power, otherwise I would definitely kill all those disgusting things."
Nafei muttered to himself, and his eyes gradually lost their light.
"Kill all those disgusting things?"
Wei Tao couldn't help laughing, "They are just useless consumables. What's the point of killing more of them?"
"But the celestial power in this jade Ruyi is a good thing, worthy of my in-depth and careful study. When I meet the master of Naraku Peak in the future, I may be able to bring her a little unexpected shock."
The place where several armed off-road vehicles were damaged.
The female disciple of Naraku Peak was panting and sweating.
She had reached her limit and could not hold on any longer.
Looking at the black insects flying around not far away and the tentacles drilling in and out of the ground from time to time, she couldn't help but sigh secretly and gave up the idea of resistance.
"If I am eaten by these insects, I would rather be strangled to death by a vine."
"No, why should I wait for them to kill me? Wouldn't it be better to commit suicide directly later to avoid more pain?"
"But if I lose my life like this, my death must be extremely miserable. Not to mention leaving a complete body, I'm afraid even my bones will be eaten clean by them."
She took a long breath and simply sat down on the ground.
She didn't care that her clothes were further torn, revealing a large area of delicate and white skin underneath.
Anyway, people are going to die, so why bother about their image? It's better to empty your mind and enjoy the last moment of peace in your life.
However, at this moment, she was stunned.
Watching those black flying insects retreat quietly.
The dark red vines that had been entangled with her before also shrunk deep into the ground, and no trace of them could be seen.
The next moment, a woman's voice sounded quietly, penetrating the darkness and reaching her ears.
"It turned out to be Qiu Shan. I didn't expect to see you here."
"Who is it!?"
The female disciple of Naraku Peak suddenly jumped in her heart, and her body couldn't help but tense to the extreme.
"Don't be nervous. Since I can come out to see you, I have no intention of taking your life."
As the voice fell, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness, looking over calmly.
After seeing the figure and appearance of the person coming clearly, Qiu Shan couldn't help but be stunned. After a long silence, he said in a trembling voice, "You, you are Senior Qinghe!"
Qinghe stopped a few meters away, "Come with me, the master wants to see you and learn about the details of the arrival of the Lord of Naraku Peak this time."
