Chapter 157 The tree with a human face covered with treasures
“puff!”
The branch penetrated the boy’s shoulder.
【-674】
A damage number appears.
The boy took a breath of air, with a look of horror in his eyes!
His blood volume was down to the last few dozen points in an instant.
If he hadn’t avoided the vital point at the last moment, he would have died on the spot right now! At this moment, the second wave of wind appeared.
The boy suddenly shouted in horror: “Help…save me…”
At the critical moment, Rhaenys shot an arrow.
“call out!”
The arrow accurately hit the branch, interrupting the attack.
Strangely, everyone actually heard a human’s hoarse cry of pain.
“ah!”
Before they could react.
The next moment, all the trees in this area started to move.
Wow…
The branches are flying.
The ground that was frozen into permafrost was also rising, as if something was moving underground.
Then the trees slowly turned around.
They were horrified to find that there was a pale human face growing on the trunks of these trees.
The faces slowly spoke.
“This is our territory… intruders… die!”
The next moment.
The dense branches shot towards them!
The group of survivors behind the team had no strength to stop them.
According to the agreement with Qiu Yating, Cao Xing will lead them into the forest.
So Cao Xing shouted.
“Bron, stop!”
After hearing this, Bronn leaped over to guard and rushed to the back of the crowd.
Then he raised his shield and blocked those branches.
“Bang! Bang bang bang!”
Most of the attacks from the branches were blocked by Bronn’s shield.
Another part of the branches were intercepted by Renes’ arrows.
The group of survivors escaped and stood there in a daze.
Bronn turned his head and said with a smile: “Little guys, don’t stand still, move quickly.”
After hearing this, they reacted.
Then they all hid behind Bronn or took a defensive posture.
At this moment, Assam and others are also fighting against the attacks of these branches.
What surprised Cao Xing was that the toughness of these branches was beyond imagination.
With the attack power of Assam’s third-level boss, one strike of the sword did not directly cut it off, but only briefly knocked it back.
Cao Xing glanced at the attributes of these human-faced trees.
[Ice Crystal Face Tree lv27]
[Race: Human Face Tree]
[HP: 17640/17640]
[Attack power: 652~681]
[Skills: Tough branches (the human-faced tree has tough branches, which will launch winding and piercing attacks on the enemy)) Extreme cold touch (the human-faced tree waves its branches, attacks the enemy, causing damage equal to attack power * 133%, and causing It falls into a blood-frozen state for 1 to 5 seconds, and its mobility is reduced by 50%, with a cooldown time of 60 seconds) Extreme Cold Flurry (waving thousands of branches, attacking all enemies crazily, cooldown time 5 minutes)]
[Talent ①: Longevity (having a long lifespan)]
[Talent ②: Full of vitality (health value increased by an additional 30%)]
[Bond: Human Face Tree, when the number of Human Face Trees operating at the same time reaches 5, the attack speed +10%, 10: the blood volume increases by 20%, 20: the attack power increases by 20% (activated)]
(Introduction: A monster created after an alchemical experiment grows in the Witch Forest and will attack all creatures that enter the forest.)…
“What a powerful third-level creature!”
Cao Xing commented.
The number of human-faced trees appearing here at the same time reaches more than 20, and their bonds are also activated, which is far more powerful than ordinary third-level creatures!
The next moment, more than a dozen branches attacked everyone.
Under the attack of this third-level creature, these first-level survivor attributes could not keep up with the reaction speed of the human-faced tree.
For other teams, even a third-level team would most likely be destroyed if they were attacked by so many human-faced trees.
However, the attacks of these human-faced trees fell on Cao Xing’s men and only shattered one or two layers of the holy shield.
It didn’t even hurt them!
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing made up his mind, and then ordered: “Go with all your strength and kill these human-faced trees.”
At the same time, he and Liu Muxue jumped off the back of the mammoth.
After receiving Cao Xing’s order, Assam and others each used their own methods.
The sword of justice swept across!
The storm and arrows begin to rage! Dabai, on the other hand, started running wildly in the forest.
Then he slammed into one of the human-faced trees!
“Bang!”
【-1973】
A terrifying impact damage appears!
After Dabai broke through to the third level, he received the bonus of Liu Muxue’s Aurora Blessing and Courage Blessing, and the damage was very terrifying.
Then it trampled on it, directly stunning seven or eight human-faced trees around it.
The new member Putana raised her giant ax high and slashed at one of the human-faced trees.
Bang! 【-518】
As a newcomer, Putana is a second-level elite creature, so this damage is pretty good.
As for Bronn, after he advanced to become the boss, he single-handedly held back the attacks of three or four human-faced trees.
“Aha! Let’s all attack Bronn!”
“Let me show you what a watertight defense is!”
Compared with the day before yesterday in the Ascalon Tomb, the strength of everyone on the field has improved a lot.
Dealing with monsters of this level is no problem at all.
At this moment, the group of survivors stood behind, trembling and watching their battle.
The damage numbers floating up one after another made them tremble with fear!
The most terrifying thing was that they saw Cao Xing’s attack.
This man, with a random spell attack, did four to five hundred damage.
In other words, to deal with these survivors, whose health volume was only around 600 or 700, Cao Xing only needed one or two spells to take them away directly.
Not only that, they also saw Liu Muxue, who was as beautiful as a goddess, holding a gorgeous shield and guarding Cao Xing.
This scene made the group of boys look envious in their eyes.
A few minutes later, the battle on Cao Xing’s side came to an end.
[Members of your territory: Braun Iron Wall killed the Ice Crystal Human Face Tree lv28 and gained experience points: 560]
[Combatants gain experience points: 280]
[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed the Ice Crystal Human Face Tree lv27 and gained 540 experience points]
[Combatants gain experience points: 270]
【豼……】
…
Kill prompts keep appearing.
When the health of the last human-faced tree was cleared, these strange trees seemed to have lost their support, and their branches became limp.
The group of survivors breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he looked at the corpses of the human-faced tree around him with a look of disaster.
At this time, Qiu Yating came out, bowed slightly to Cao Xing and said, “Thank you, Mr. Cao Xing…”
Others also expressed gratitude: “Thank you, Mr. Cao Xing, for saving us.”
Cao Xing nodded and didn’t care.
He was just fulfilling his end of the bargain.
Then, Cao Xing looked at the body of the human-faced tree.
Something seemed to appear at the root of the tree.
It seems to be an item dropped by them after they die.
Cao Xing walked over and picked up everything on the ground.
A system prompt appears.
[Obtain: Intermediate element crystal*1]
[Obtain: Ice Crystal Human Face Tree Heart (Green)*1]
[Obtain: Ancient Human Face Tree Bark (Green)*1]
[Get: sap (green)*3]
[Obtain: Intermediate Agility Book]
…
Cao Xing had doubts in his eyes, “Huh? What is a human face and a tree heart?”
Suppress the curiosity in your heart.
Cao Xing decided to collect all the materials dropped by the human-faced trees on the ground first, and then check the properties of these things.
[Obtain: Intermediate element crystal*12]
[Obtain: Ice crystal human face tree heart (green)*21]
[Obtain: sap (green)*114]
[Obtain: Ancient Human Face Tree Bark (Green)*17]
[Obtain: Intermediate Book of Chaos*3]
[Obtain: Intermediate Agility Book*2]
[Obtain: Intermediate Spiritual Book*2]
…
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then began to check the properties of these materials.
[Ice crystal human face tree heart (green): A heart containing pure vitality. 】
[Effect 1: After use, the upper limit of life can be increased by 300 points (can take effect up to 2 times)]
…
“Let me go…this thing seems to be the same type as the Snow Demon Heart, which can speed up the growth of plants!”
A look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes!
Because according to Juliette, the Pale Tree has now grown into a sapling, and it will take another one or two years of growth to bring an increase effect to the territory.
And according to the vitality contained in the heart of this human-faced tree, it should be able to speed up the growth of the Pale Tree by a lot.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Unexpectedly, I had an unexpected harvest when I first came in. I was pretty lucky.
Then, he started looking at the second prop.
[Sap (green): The sap contains magical flavor and has a refreshing taste. 】
(After taking it, a certain amount of mental power can be restored, the cooling time is 60 seconds)…
[Ancient human bark (green): thick and tough bark]
(Materials can be given to a blacksmith or made into high-quality armor or other props in a sewing shop)…
Cao Xing’s eyes lit up: “Huh? This tree sap can actually restore mental strength. Isn’t this similar to the effect of Yuen Ning Flower Dew?”
However, Moon Ninghua Dew is a blue-quality recovery item, while tree sap is only green-quality, so there is still a gap in the recovery capabilities of the two.
But this does not prevent the amount of sap from being large!
This time, he directly harvested more than a hundred drops of sap, which he can use with confidence.
“It just so happens that I’m running out of Yuen Ning Flower Dew!”
“With so much sap, I can use the demon transformation skill unscrupulously!”
“Andrew can also use the owl beast form non-stop!”
Cao Xing was overjoyed.
Moreover, he also remembered that when making [crafted rum], tree sap was also needed.
In addition, the ancient bark of the human face tree is also good and can be made into excellent armor.
Leave it to the dwarf Harold, and your regiment will have new equipment.
He nodded with satisfaction and said, “I didn’t expect that I would get a lot of good results just after I came in.”
“This Witch Forest is really the right place to come to!”
At this moment, Cao Xing glanced at these human-faced trees that had lost their vitality.
Their branches all drooped weakly on the ground like a man who had had an orgasm.
But Cao Xing remembered how tough this thing was.
“Harold said that making the ejection hook requires an extremely tough rope. I wonder if this thing can replace it?”
Cao Xing shook his head, “No matter what, even if they can’t be replaced, the toughness of these vines is still a good thing!”
So, he ordered: “Cut down all the vines of these human-faced trees for me.”
After hearing Cao Xing’s order, the group of recruiting creatures took action.
They either slashed with swords, bit with teeth, or tore directly with claws.
One branch after another was torn off by them.
Since the body of the human-faced tree cannot be decomposed, this primitive method can only be used.
It took a lot of effort to tear down all the vines.
Cao Xing walked over and picked one up casually.
[Obtain: Tough Vine of the Human Face Tree (Green)*1]
I looked at the properties.
[Tough vines of the human-faced tree (green): extremely resilient vines]
(A tough material that can be made into fishing nets or other props.)…
Cao Xing’s face showed joy.
Then, he collected all the vines on the ground.
[Obtain: Tough vines of the human-faced tree (green)*1574]
“Wuhu! There are more than a thousand vines, which add up to several kilometers!”
“This wave of harvest is really good!”
Qiu Yating and other little girls looked at Cao Xing and the others’ movements with surprise.
It seems that they did not expect that they would not even let go of these vines.
At this time, Cao Xing looked at Qiu Yating, and then asked: “How long should we advance before we enter the Witch Forest?”
Cao Xing didn’t want to carry this group of survivors with him forever. After taking them into the forest, he could search here unscrupulously.
Qiu Yating whispered: “Probably, we still need to advance about one or two kilometers…”
Cao Xing nodded, “Okay, let’s move on.”
Next, everyone moved forward.
On the way, they were attacked by two or three groups of human-faced trees, but they were all killed by Cao Xing and others.
When they saw, the mammoth Dabai crashed and broke a human-faced tree.
This group of survivors were stunned.
“So… so scary…”
“Too strong…”
The strength Cao Xing showed was completely beyond their imagination.
At the same time, these survivors couldn’t help but be more curious about his level.
Cao Xing ignored their looks, walked over again, and collected all the materials.
After several battles, I got it cumulatively.
[Ice Crystal Human Face Tree Heart (Green)*52]
【Sap (green)*415】
[Ancient human-faced tree bark (green)*46]
[Tough vines of the human-faced tree (green)*3273]
[Intermediate element crystal*35]
…
Cao Xing picked it up with joy on his face.
“This human-faced tree is really full of treasures!”
At this moment, Renes, who had her [Eye of Hunting] turned on throughout the whole process, came to Cao Xing.
She pointed to the bottom of a giant tree in the distance and said, “Lord, there are some flowers over there, which seem to exude the breath of magic and life.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He ignored the doubtful looks from Qiu Yating and others, left the team, and went straight to the place Renis mentioned.
There, he did find several flowers that were blue in color and had seven petals.
Upon closer inspection, the attributes of these flowers appeared before them. .
[Bingluan flower (blue): special plant]
[After taking the petals, 200 health points can be restored immediately, and a certain amount of mental power can be restored. 】
(Plants containing vitality only grow in places with sufficient vitality.)…
Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly lit up! That’s it!
In this forest, there are indeed ice luan flowers.
Cao Xing took a look and saw that there were seven bingluan flowers with about thirty petals.
In other words, it is enough for him to make more than thirty bottles of improved version of the secret medicine of life! Cao Xing was in a good mood, “Not bad, not bad!”
Thinking of this, he carefully took out a dagger and shoveled down all the soil around the Ice Luan Flower.
Then, he put it directly into his backpack.
[Obtain Ice Luan Flower (Blue)*1]
Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this method of transplantation is feasible.
Then, he took down six more ice blue flowers one after another.
After a while, Cao Xing returned to the team with a satisfied look on his face.
Seeing his expression, Qiu Yating seemed to understand something, and said with a smile on her face: “Congratulations to Mr. Cao Xing.”
The other survivors also knew that Cao Xing came out this time to find the Bingluan Flower.
It seemed that he had found what he wanted, with envious expressions on his faces.
Cao Xing nodded.
“Let’s go.”
Next, they continued one or two kilometers deeper.
The temperature here is getting colder and colder.
There are also more and more plants that have never been seen before.
At this time, a system prompt appears.
[You have entered the special area: Witch Forest…]
A look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes.
It seems that once you get here, you have entered the inner area of the Witch Forest.
He looked at the students and said, “Okay, as agreed, the rest of the way is up to you.”
Upon hearing this, the faces of these students changed slightly.
Along the way, they have learned how terrifying this forest is! Even the monsters appearing outside are no lower than level three! You can imagine how terrifying the monster inside is.
If they, a group of first-level survivors, were to walk alone in such a forest, none of them would be dead in a short time, let alone complete the mission.
They finally realized how difficult the task they had taken was.
At this time, the boy named Xu Haocheng came over and said with a fake smile: “Brother Cao Xing, we have heard of your name for a long time and have always admired you.”
“See if you can be a good person and go to the end to send Buddha to the West and help us complete this mission.”
“We’ll thank you!”
After hearing this, Cao Xing glanced at him lightly and said, “Not interested.”
“According to the agreement, it has nothing to do with me here.”
Hearing this, Xu Haocheng’s face froze, and he was about to speak.
Qiu Yating on the side interrupted him and said: “Xu Haocheng, stop talking.”
“Boss Cao Xing still has something to do, let’s not waste too much of his time.”
Other little girls also tried to dissuade him.
Xu Haocheng seemed to want to say something more, but he was afraid of Cao Xing’s strength and swallowed his words again.
Cao Xing ignored them, turned around with his men and said, “Let’s go in another direction.”
These survivors hesitated to speak, but they could only look at Cao Xing’s back with helpless eyes.
