Marvel's Monster Hunter World

The moment they escaped from the dead wood forest, a thick giant spirit tree at least three hundred meters high appeared in front of them.

This giant spirit tree also seems to be dead.

The bark is mottled and full of cracked lines.

This was originally supposed to be an extremely lush giant spirit tree with a canopy that could cover the sky, and one tree could shade thousands of people.

But at this time, there was not even a single dead leaf on the branches of his crown. There were only countless branches that were like the claws of evil spirits, intertwined and twisted together, and some thick branches were broken and hung to the ground.

The desolate, cold, and lonely atmosphere immediately enveloped everyone.

Compared to it, the dead trees scattered in other places around it were much larger than those seen along the way, but they still seemed extremely small.

"Wow"

"Will you all become this big in the future?"

Quill looked up at the giant dead tree reaching into the sky, and it was hard to imagine that Groot would become like this in the future.

How big a battleship would it take to fit this in? It would probably require an interstellar fortress.

"I am, Groot."

Groot shook his head. After their race reaches a certain age, they can control their body size. Of course, it is not the super power of growing bigger or smaller, but using energy or sufficient water for irrigation to speed up photosynthesis. Come quickly and up to size.

It can also be used in combat, but to this extent, its actual significance is very small.

"This is really too big."

Gamora looked at the ground and discovered that the tree's bottom trunk alone occupies dozens of meters in circumference, and its underground rhizomes may spread over a thousand meters in radius.

Even though Quill and the others were hundreds of meters away from the tree, they could still see the exposed part of the root as thick as a python that broke through the ground at its feet.

"I said you didn't notice something was wrong."

Rocket grinned sideways, then tapped the ground with the gun in his hand.

Bang bang~ Two collisions made Gamora and Quill react.

Trees should survive in soil, at least earth and rock, even sand and gravel.

But under their feet, and everywhere they looked in front of them, there were all rocks, large tracts of jagged and strange rocks.

Quill raised his elemental gun and fired it at the ground. Under the blasted ground there were still dense rocks, and no soil could be seen at all.

This

"How can trees survive in this environment? Is there soil deeper underground?"

As soon as they finished speaking, they discovered that the dead wood forest on the road behind them had disappeared, replaced by an endless rocky plain.

Quill frowned, turned and walked out.

Suddenly, his figure disappeared from the sight of Gamora and others, and the dead wood forest he just passed by appeared again in Quill's own sight.

After returning, the three of them looked at Groot in unison. As an aborigine here, he had the most say.

"I'm Groot."

When Groot saw his friend looking over, his eyes darkened.

It turns out that this place is called Punishment Island.

Punishment Island is very different from other places covered by peaceful forests.

It is not an island in the true sense, but is located in the area with the harshest climate on Planet

For the sake of appearance, this energy boundary will also cover up their location, making the outside world still look like a dense forest.

Members of the Djinn Tree who commit crimes, including the most serious crime of treason, will be detained here.

For a tree, letting him survive here is undoubtedly the harshest punishment.

Without soil, it means death, and it is slow death.

Most djinn trees don't want to die, so they need to expand their rhizomes to make themselves taller and receive more sunlight.

The giant tree in front of us, which is more than 300 meters high and has roots that almost cover the entire Punishment Island, has grown so tall just to survive.

When Groot was a child, it was rare to see a Djinn tree being detained here.

Until the later battle of genocide.

As mentioned before, the Flower God Colossus clan has the same mind. This is a great advantage, but it also hides huge hidden dangers.

A simple truth.

If there is no evil in a world, then there is no good.

Although people call the peace during the growth of the Flower God Colossus clan good and peace, in fact, for them, it is just a simple daily life, and there is no very clear intention to do good.

The Flower God Colossus tribe is not a Zerg race, nor is it a hive mind. Although they share the same mind, each giant spirit tree has its own thoughts.

As they come into contact with more and more knowledge about outer space, they learn more and more.

War, plunder, invasion, words that have been known for thousands of years but that no one has ever cared about, began to gradually penetrate into their hearts and influence their thinking.

Until one day, the first giant spirit tree that proposed to launch an aggressive war appeared.

An elder-level giant spirit tree, second only to Master Qiaomu and the Great Elder, wants to form an army and personally lead it to occupy the weak planet.

Then, like a domino effect, hundreds, thousands or even more giant spirit trees expressed their approval, as did the elders.

Because of their powerful power, the Flower God Colossus clan who are only a few hundred years old can defeat one against a hundred, and those who have lived for more than a thousand years can defeat one against a thousand. Those at the elder level can even escape the restraint of flames to a certain extent. Invincible.

And at that time, they did not have a very clear concept of whether the war was just and whether they were still on the side of good. All they considered was whether it could bring benefits to the race.

So, in just a few days, the Flower God Colossus clan, which had been peaceful for tens of thousands of years, divided into their hawks and doves.

For tens of thousands of years, there has never been fierce friction within the Flower God Colossus Clan.

This sudden explosion was like a nuclear explosion, out of control.

Their proud special abilities and spiritual communication have only exacerbated the degree of polarization.

The concepts of good and evil are also constantly improved in this process.

The invasion has not yet begun, internal war is inevitable

The most tragic thing is that the power they abused in their own large-scale war controls flowers, plants and trees, causing the originally beautiful Planet X to age rapidly.

"So, this tree is the giant tree that wants to start a war and calls itself the king of war." Rocket pointed at the giant tree in the center in the distance and said.

"I am, Groot."

"King of War" Gamora shook his head: "This is the final result of the war. He got what he wanted, death."

"The place where the source of life is most likely to exist should be related to the location of ancient giant trees like Master Qiao.

Groot, except for Punishment Island, where are the other giant trees?"

Groot glanced at Quill, then looked down and recalled.

But at this moment, they found that the ground beneath their feet began to shake, and the gravel above them was dancing.

Loud sounds of cracking earth veins came from under the giant tree.

"Be careful"

Quill found that less than ten meters away from them, two twisted roots suddenly bounced up and stabbed Groot like giant spears.

puff~

Groot, who had no reaction at all, was immediately pierced through the chest by the tendril.

"I'm Gruhohohohoho"
