spooky invasion

Chapter 721 Strange Tree
How deep can the artificial lake be?
It can mutate such a terrifying behemoth.

It can be seen that this ghost place is indeed much weirder than other places.

And when I was standing on the edge of the artificial lake earlier, the stone slab under my feet suddenly softened and became as sticky as syrup.

This is also a phenomenon that makes Jiang Yue very vigilant.

Since he decided to avoid this place, Jiang Yue naturally would not hesitate.

With a few vertical leaps, his body passed through this area.At this time, the destination of this trip is only tens or hundreds of meters away.

However, the distance of tens of meters made Jiang Yue feel extremely depressed.

The trees in this area originally stood tall like giants. Compared with the past, they were at least five to ten times more evolved.

So much so that it blocks out the sky and the sun, not to mention that the crowns of the trees are crowded together, even the trunks are connected with branches and vines are entwined.

And the sky above and around these giant trees is shrouded in a strange dense mist, which makes people look completely invisible at a glance, so deep that people feel that they have stepped into a deep virgin forest.

In terms of height, the tall giant trees even far surpassed the giants Jiang Yue encountered at the beginning. Looking from a distance, it made people feel very depressed.

As for the peach grove and pear grove farther away, it is even more dark and dense. In the dark night, it looks even more mysterious and weird, and people can't help but have various terrifying associations.

What surprised Jiang Yue even more was that these giant trees had clearly surpassed the category of plants. Even people who felt dull could feel that these giant trees seemed to be living beings endowed with consciousness.

The plants stand there, like giant warriors in green armor, defending their cities and rejecting all intruding enemies.

Any invading creatures will be ruthlessly destroyed and devoured by them!
This sense of coercion is by no means an illusion produced by Jiang Yue, but actually exists.

This was something Jiang Yue never expected.

Looking at these giant trees that are not angry and majestic, exuding an amazing aura, Jiang Yue is convinced that these giant trees are definitely conscious.

As for whether it was self-awareness, Jiang Yue couldn't confirm it.

But looking at the posture of these giant trees, it should be completely different from the old banyan tree in Yangfan Middle School.

The old banyan tree in Yangfan Middle School is obviously unwilling to help the evildoers.

As for these giant trees, Jiang Yue always felt that they should be controlled by that mysterious tree.

But this also made Jiang Yue determine a problem.

The appearance of these giant trees waiting in battle, as if facing a formidable enemy, may just show that there is indeed a problem in this place, and perhaps the mysterious tree species is really here.

Otherwise, why do these giant trees show such an exaggerated posture?

They must be guarding something.

Jiang Yue watched from a distance, and did not approach in a hurry.

The density and awakening of these giant trees are obviously far more than those ancient trees in the Daozixiang villa.

Although the ancient trees at the entrance of Daozi Lane have also evolved, they are far less exaggerated in size, and the power and murderous aura displayed are far less crazy.

The most important thing is that although the giant trees in the Daozixiang villa have a certain amount of spiritual consciousness, they still rely more on instinct to attack.

And these giant trees, the degree of anthropomorphism is very high, it can almost be said to be a living body with independent consciousness.Even if they suddenly changed and rushed towards Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue would not be particularly surprised.

Jiang Yue looked at the densely packed giant trees and weighed his fighting strength.

In the end Jiang Yue restrained his impulse.

Not to mention him, Jiang Yue, even if the giants he fought against, including the tyrant, attacked these giant trees together, they might not be able to break through the opponent's defensive formation at all.

The aura emanating from these giant trees may not be as oppressive to Jiang Yue as a single giant, but with so many giant trees surrounded together, the oppressive feeling is definitely far greater than that of the two giants.

He didn't even have any doubts that even if he had multiple protections, rushing over rashly would only give him his head.

fire attack?

It's not that Jiang Yue hadn't thought about the attack power of the Huo Yan Talisman. To deal with these giant trees, Huo Gong must be very effective.

But no matter how good the Fire Flame Talisman is, can it be better than plowing with shells?
Pushing the incendiary bomb once, the effect is definitely better than the Huo Yan Talisman, and the coverage is wider.

But can that really kill the mysterious tree?

That's what Jiang Yue was worried about.

What made Jiang Yue even more depressed was that these giant trees clearly sensed independent life forms, but Jiang Yue's borrowing skills were useless at all.

In other words, these giant trees have no vision at all!

This undoubtedly deepened Jiang Yue's understanding of them.

Since the giant trees don't rely on vision, Jiang Yue's stealth skills are basically useless here except for borrowing vision skills.

These are Jiang Yue's two very practical skills for defeating the enemy.

As for the skills copied into others, it is naturally useless at all.The situation he faced this time was not dealing with people at all.

All of a sudden, Jiang Yue was a little envious of the eighth master Yu Renying's awakening skills.

If Yu Renying's skill can be replicated, his body will turn into a gust of wind and disappear directly in the void.

Maybe it can really easily blend into the giant tree jungle.

It's a pity that this copying skill has to be an enemy who has been killed, and there is only a [-]% chance.

Moreover, far away water cannot quench near thirst.

Skill?
Jiang Yue's eyes suddenly brightened. Speaking of skills, the earth attribute skills obtained from the tyrant may be useful!
It is obviously unrealistic to break through from the ground, but what about diving from deep underground?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue calmly thought for a moment, and felt more and more that this approach was feasible.

The tyrant's earth attribute skills are indeed not bragging.

He was able to have such a terrifying strength, far ahead of all the awakened ones, not because of his brutal temperament, but because of his absolutely suppressing strength.

This earth attribute skill includes manipulating earth attribute substances, earth travel, wall penetration and so on.

With these skills as a foundation, it is Jiang Yue's confidence that this approach is feasible.

The earth escape technique in myths and legends can shrink the ground to an inch and travel hundreds of miles in seconds.

Obviously, this is a bit of an exaggeration.

The ground walking technique that Jiang Yue copied from the tyrant can only ensure that he can move freely underground. The hard ground is like air, which cannot bring him any resistance, but makes him swim like a fish in the water. With ease.

At first, Jiang Yue was not used to it, but after getting used to it for a while, Jiang Yue skillfully controlled his figure and mastered the ground movement technique.

Although not as magical as the legendary Earth Dungeon, it still surprised Jiang Yue.

The most important thing is that after getting used to seeing and hearing in the surface world, Jiang Yue found that what he saw with his naked eyes was quite different from what he imagined when he first entered the underground world.

Especially in this kind of deep soil, with Jiang Yue's vision, it really shows every detail.

However, Jiang Yue is obviously not in the mood to appreciate the underground scenery right now.

Because, judging from his position, he knew that he was already infinitely close to that area.

You know, Jiang Yue has penetrated 15 to 20 meters underground at this moment.

It's not without reason that he did this.

Because those giant trees are really tall, Jiang Yue guessed that their roots should not be short, and they are estimated to be at least ten meters deep underground.

However, he soon discovered that he still underestimated the development of the roots of these giant trees.

In the area below 15 meters, you can still feel that the roots of those giant trees are like exaggerated boa constrictors, spreading out in the ground, intertwined and densely packed, and it looks like countless boa constrictors twisting together , appearing to be very active.

Such a weird scene further confirmed Jiang Yue's previous guess.

Originally, plants are relatively static life forms, unless they are pushed by external forces, it is basically impossible to be so active.

And right now the roots of these giant trees are obviously extremely active.

The weirdest thing is not these. Although these roots vary in thickness, they all have a strange flesh-colored color, full of elasticity and tenacity like the tentacles of many monsters in science fiction movies.

Where are the roots that plants should have, this is clearly like a living creature with flesh and blood.

Seeing the densely packed roots, like a giant net, the intertwined roots are like a big formation with no flaws at all.

Jiang Yue couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

If you rush from this position, it is no different from rushing on the ground.

These countless roots and tentacles, even if the giant that Jiang Yue fought before rushed over, it would definitely be a gift.

Just one or two tentacles, how many thousands of tentacles are there?

Any creature that bumps into it will definitely get entangled without accident.Once entangled by the tentacles, wrapped layer by layer, it can forcibly twist the flesh and blood into meatloaf.

Especially the main root tendrils closer to the central trunk area, Jiang Yue visually estimated that it was several times thicker than the bucket. Once it was strangled, even a giant would not be able to struggle at all.

What shocked Jiang Yue was that there was a transparent membrane on the surface of the main root hairs, like a layer of afterbirth, which wrapped the main tissues of the root hairs, and some human stumps could be seen faintly bones...

Jiang Yue only felt his scalp tingling for a while, and couldn't help but have some bad associations.

Could it be that the survivors from the surrounding communities were all drawn here, swallowed up by these giant trees, and became the fertilizer of the giant trees?
Otherwise, the roots of the plants, no matter what, would not be able to grow such weird fleshy tentacles.

Even so, Jiang Yue knew very well that these giant trees with well-developed roots were by no means the one he was looking for.

And he was more certain than ever that the tree in Tong Feifei's dream must be nearby, and it must be under the protection of these giant trees.

Be sure to find it!

Jiang Yue continued to go deeper, trying his best to avoid these terrifying and exaggerated roots and tentacles.

Even if the residents of the surrounding neighborhoods were lured here and swallowed up by these giant trees, now is definitely not the time for Jiang Yue to seek justice for them.

There are more important things waiting for him than this.

The active roots can only be counted to the bottom when they go deep into the area close to 30 meters.But even with a distance of several meters, Jiang Yue could still feel the activity of the roots above these meters, stirring the soil in this area and wriggling in a strange manner.

Fortunately, the Wuzhou Park area is relatively flat, and there are no rock formations tens of meters underground. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for Jiang Yue to move around.

However, going deep underground, Jiang Yue's vision will inevitably be affected.This undoubtedly made it extremely difficult for him to scout the specific location of the tree.

Right now, Jiang Yue can only rely on his judgment of the position, and strive to keep himself from wandering outside this core area.

This can ensure that it will not be entangled by those giant trees, but it also makes the search work more difficult.

Hard work pays off.

Jiang Yue, who was swimming, soon sensed some abnormalities.

When he cruised to a certain location, he obviously felt that the surrounding soil became extremely active. This abnormality did not come from the soil itself, but was caused by external factors.

Then, Jiang Yue discovered that the force that caused the surrounding soil to become active was actually extending in all directions, like a complicated spider web.

As Jiang Yue got closer, he felt more and more that this power was so pure, so pure, and it was the kind of breath Jiang Yue was very familiar with.

Jiang Yue quickly thought of the old banyan tree in Yangfan Middle School.

At that time, the old banyan tree mentioned the tree in Tong Feifei's dream.At the same time, it emphasizes that the tree is trying to cover its independent spiritual consciousness and replace its thinking, and the ultimate goal is actually to seize its source of life.

What happened later proved that the old banyan's guess was correct.

In the confrontation with this strange tree, the old banyan tree finally lost without any suspense, and the source of life was stolen.

Jiang Yue was also at the scene to witness, feeling that the source of life of the old banyan tree was passing away.

It was at that time that Tong Feifei had the opportunity to spy on the location of this strange tree through the process of the source of life of the old banyan tree being taken away.

And because of this, Jiang Yue was able to find this area according to the map.

Isn't the pure power that Jiang Yue feels familiar with now because it is the source of life?

Although the source of life is not from the old banyan tree in Yangfan Middle School, this familiar aura is exactly the same as the old banyan tree.

It's just that, tonight's strange tree, the object of capture is other plants with spiritual power.

As for the plants with awakened spiritual consciousness, the source of their life is in the final analysis the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon that has been precipitated for a long time.

What surprised Jiang Yue was that this domineering and strange tree did not only target one spiritual seed at a time, but absorbed a large number of spiritual seeds on a large scale as the source of life.

This weird tree is like a general hub, seizing the source of life of the spiritual species in all directions.

This speed of seizure will inevitably make this weird tree grow rapidly.

As Jiang Yue got closer, the spiritual power network intertwined in all directions became more and more aura, criss-crossing, like complex meridians and blood vessels, continuously absorbing the source of life everywhere.

At this time, Jiang Yue also saw clearly that the source of life was in the process of transmission, showing a pure and flawless emerald green, crystal clear, which made people feel comfortable and happy.

This is the real essence of life.

Each vein represents a spiritual seed like the old banyan tree, a wise life with absolute independent spiritual consciousness!

But right now, these intelligent beings have become victims of this weird tree, filling its abyss-like greed.
