The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 13 Growth
[Progress: 13%]

Huo Ying succeeded in his attack, and immediately closed the peephole and went to the window holding Yang Shi.

Through the window, Huo Ying saw several cloudy shadows running away.

Bang.

A pair of rotten hands grabbed at the window crack.

It was the corpse that attacked Huo Ying three days ago.

It stayed at the window until Huo Ying approached.

The next second, the corpse ghost and Huo Ying looked at each other.

Cold.

Huo Ying felt like he was falling into an ice river, with nowhere to gain support, and darkness swallowed him up in an instant.

Tick.

The slight sound of dripping water reached Huo Ying's ears.

Tick.

Huo Ying wanted to open his eyes, but he was too weak to do so and could only vaguely see a crack.

A monitor.

The display shows a calm straight line.

Suddenly, there was a slight fluctuation in the straight line.

"The patient in bed 21 is showing signs of waking up."

"Notify the attending physician. Quickly, family members, find a way to call the patient. Don't let him fall asleep again. Once he falls asleep, he will become a complete vegetable."

"Huo Ying, son, wake up, mom is here, don't sleep!"

The sound of surprise and howling came out of a familiar person's mouth at the same time. Huo Ying vaguely sensed that someone threw himself in front of the bed: "Huo Ying, dreams are all fake, don't sleep, Mom is here, Mom is always watching over you, don't sleep, wake up and look at Mom, Mom can't live without you."

it hurts.

Heart hurts!
"You like cigarettes, don't you? Mom bought you all Zhonghua cigarettes. You don't want to work or get married, but Mom agrees. Wake up. Your dad and I will never say anything to you again. You can do whatever you want, as long as you are healthy and live a good life!"

“Aaaaaaa——” (crying)
"Don't sleep, dreams are all fake!"

It's mother's voice.

Am I ill?
Is everything a dream?

Huo Ying's chest suddenly felt hot.

"Connect the instrument and turn on the power. The patient must be given external stimulation, otherwise he will not wake up. Family members, please leave for a moment."

The doctor's voice rang out.

Oh, it’s so hot, it’s not a yang stone, it’s a defibrillator.

Wait, Yangshi?
"Huo Ying, I'm your attending physician. Come on, hold on, and make sure you can distinguish between dreams and reality. Your family is waiting for you here!"

Looking at the wavy lines on the monitor, the doctor shouted to Huo Ying: "Everything in the dream is fake. Don't be afraid of anything. Find a way to wake up. You can wake up by touching cold water or dying in the dream!"

dream.

reality.

cold water.

dead.

Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry.

I dare not die.

Can't die either!

If this is a dream, I will return from it alive.

Click.

The Yang stone is broken.

Huo Ying opened his eyes.

The corpse ghost's hand broke the poplar tree that had cracked last time, and an arm had already stretched out.

When the corpse ghost saw Huo Ying waking up, he was obviously stunned.

"Really."

Huo Ying raised his hand, lit the crossbow, and a rocket shot into the corpse's arm.

"It is unforgivable that you would deceive me with such a scenario!"

A tear slid down the corner of Huo Ying's eye.

The next second, Wood Release was activated and the second sink on the roof was overturned.

The stream filled with parasites and microorganisms swallowed up the zombies that came one after another.

Without a piece of wood blocking the way, Huo Ying could clearly see what was happening outside the room.

When the stream water touched the corpse ghost, bubbles immediately appeared on its rotten flesh, and a large piece of it disappeared in an instant. The corpse ghost, soaked by the stream water, was like being soaked in sulfuric acid, and was melted by the concentrated sulfuric acid before it could even struggle.

Face to face with Huo Ying, there was a ball of fire burning.

The corpse ghost that attacked Huo Ying one after another stood motionless in front of Huo Ying through a window, staring at him intently.

Finally, the flames disappeared, the corpse turned into ashes, and a turbid shadow broke away from the corpse's body and disappeared into the night.

Huo Ying was not afraid.

He has killed the corpse three times.

Even tonight, he took out a bunch of them.

Huo Ying picked up the remaining crossbow on the ground, lit the arrow, and shot a rocket through the window at the corpse that was half corroded by the stream water and was still struggling.

One arrow missed the target, but the rest hit the target.

Huo Ying made arrows again, lit them, and loaded them slowly, then sent away the broken corpses outside the window one by one.

"Another Yang Stone has been broken."

The night returned to silence.

Huo Ying used Wood Release to seal the window and lay down against the wall.

This time, the Yangshi powder was not thrown away.

Huo Ying collected them and put them in a wooden barrel.

Feeling the warmth of the flame, Huo Ying closed his eyes and lay there for more than ten minutes, then he jumped up.

"Could this all be a dream?"

Huo Ying couldn't help but wonder, this world is short of water. Could it be because it was a dream? If water resources were not scarce, he would take a bath and be awakened by the water?

Thinking of this, Huo Ying ran to the cellar, picked up a bucket of water, and poured himself over it.

"Fuck, the corpse ghosts are all garbage!"

Huo Ying shuddered, he had wasted a bucket of water, and he was still in doomsday.

[Progress: 15%]

As the progress increased, Huo Ying found that the seed of the sacred tree in his mind seemed to have grown a little bigger. Then, the tingling sensation spread from the soles of his feet to his lower abdomen again.

"The air column has increased, but only slightly."

Huo Ying sensed it and found that the increased amount was not enough to perform a Wood Release, but was only enough to make simple small items such as arrows.

After repelling the zombies and becoming stronger himself, Huo Ying felt relaxed and sleepy.

Lying on the ground, close to the wall, Huo Ying fell into a deep sleep.

The ground is a little cold and too hard.

Once you have enough supplies, be sure to make yourself a comfortable bed.

dawn.

A thud.

Zhang Yuqi used a red-hot yang stone to knock on the window cracks.

Zhang Yuqi looked unhappy when she found that Huo Ying did not respond.

He hesitated for a moment beside Huo Ying's window.

Zhang Yuqi put the Yangshi in her arms and drew her sword.

Huo Ying woke up when Zhang Yuqi knocked on the window, but he still pretended to be asleep.

The stutterer's words yesterday are like a thorn in my side.

A woman killed her predecessor.

Huo Ying didn't think that the little stutterer was lying, otherwise how could she know that her predecessor was dead.

And it is women who harm themselves.

There are only two women around Huo Ying, one is his girlfriend Zhang Yuqi, and the other is Zhang Yuqi's companion Bai Jie.

I was living with both of them before, and in the end was I killed by one of them, or by both of them?
But, with Zhang Yuqi's skills, what's the point of harming herself?
Squeak.

Zhang Yuqi opened the door.

The Yang Stone in his arms glowed red, and he was on guard against the corpse ghost's illusions. The knife in his hand was pointed at Huo Ying who was lying on the ground.

"It turns out he was just snoozing."

Sensing that there was nothing wrong with Yang Shi and hearing Huo Ying's even breathing, Zhang Yuqi breathed a sigh of relief, put away her sword, and crouched down beside Huo Ying.

Zhang Yuqi gently picked up a strand of hair, trying to tickle Huo Ying's nose, but when she looked down and saw the stains on her hair, Zhang Yuqi looked gloomy and silently let go of her hand.

"Huo Ying, wake up, it's dawn." Zhang Yuqi stepped back to the door and called softly.
