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

Chapter 148: Insect-free Night, the Second Survivor

in the cave.

In order to celebrate her acquisition of Shukaku's power, Liang Yao specially prepared a large table of sumptuous meal.

Standing in the kitchen, Liang Yao was cutting vegetables tremblingly, with the tailed beast robe draped over her body. Shukaku condensed two arms and was busy stirring the wok for Liang Yao.

Bai Qianzhi looked at Liang Yao showing off with a funny look on her face, and then asked Huo Ying: "Did you fill her up? She can actually squander chakra like this."

Huo Ying gently raised his hand and wiped the non-existent cold sweat: "This is the power of the tailed beast. With the tailed beast, your chakra is almost infinite. It won't be long before I will give you a tailed beast."

"Brother Huo, why bother? It's not like I won't lend my strength to Sister Bai." Liang Yao was able to interrupt their conversation in the midst of her busy schedule: "Shukaku, let Sister Bai experience it too."

Liang Yao's tailed beast coat split into a ball of light, and then Bai Qianzhi also put on a chakra coat.

"Tailed Beast!" Bai Qianzhi sensed her own changes and said, "Huo Ying, are these abilities really the powers obtained in the apocalypse?"

Bai Qianzhi was not afraid of Huo Ying's strengthening, but was worried that other people could also obtain this power from Doomsday.

"Don't worry, this power is only available to us."

After dinner, the three of them took a walk in the night wearing fish-scale cloaks.

Apart from the thick fog that made it impossible to see the moon in the sky, the two women felt a hint of the pre-apocalyptic atmosphere during their walk.

Suddenly, a loud cry was heard above the thick fog.

Then came the sound of intensive flapping wings.

A group of huge mutant birds swooped down from the sky, and when they were about to touch the ground, they scattered to the left and right with a bang, and circled above the heads of Huo Ying and the other two. A large white bird, whose appearance was out of place among the mutant birds, landed on the ground and gave Huo Ying a human-like smile.

It's Asuka White Zetsu!
With his fearless and persistent spirit, Asuka White Zetsu dominated the entire flock of birds with his appearance that was completely different from the mutant birds.

As densely packed mutant birds landed, the black fog and flying insects in the sky began to flee frantically, but the speed of the flying insects could not match that of the mutant birds. This was a blood suppression. In the blink of an eye, the air around Huo Ying and the other two became clear.

The black fog and flying insects were all swallowed by the mutant bird. The remaining fog also moved far away, and the flying insects no longer appeared, avoiding the direction of Huo Ying and the other two.

"White Zetsu can actually rule over a flock of mutant birds?"

Liang Yao and Bai Qianzhi were both surprised. They had been trying to tame the mutant bird for a long time, but neither threats nor inducements worked. It turned out that the flying bird Bai Jue unexpectedly helped them.

After eating all the flying insects, the mutant birds became bored. After the apocalypse, the earth had become bare and no longer suitable for birds to survive. As a result, the mutant birds evolved the ability to live on the cloud tops. When there was no food, the birds wanted to return to the air to rest, but due to the majesty of the flying bird Bai Zetsu, they hesitated and dared not leave.

Huo Ying thought of the mutant bird in the basement that liked big trees.

Then he looked at Liang Yao.

Liang Yao immediately understood what Huo Ying meant.

The tailed beast's chakra coat lit up, and Shukaku's power was shared with Huo Ying.

Wood Escape·Tree Realm is coming!

Unlike the descent into the sea of trees, the descent into the tree world consumes extremely terrifying amounts of chakra. The sea of trees is just a small forest, while the tree world represents the creation of a world dominated by trees.

"Hey, Dad, what kind of technique is this? It consumes so much energy!"

The Shukaku in Liang Yao's body was frightened. Huo Ying only used a small part of his own chakra, and used almost all of Shukaku to activate his ability.

As a result, Shukaku, who had the advantage of large amount of chakra, was almost sucked dry by Huo Ying's technique.

Densely packed large trees suddenly broke out of the ground and instantly grew to dozens of meters high. One by one, they were closely connected and wrapped around the low hill. In just a short breath, the bare low hill turned into a gloomy and terrifying primeval forest.

This is not the end yet. The tree world is still spreading to the foot of the low hill. The thick trees have grown all the way into the town, and the trunks are directly blowing up one house after another.

Taking the low mountain as the origin, the area within a radius of one thousand meters has turned into a primeval forest. The most terrifying thing is that every towering tree is a poplar tree.

Normally, it is impossible for poplar trees to grow to this state, but with the power of Wood Release, nothing is impossible.

Liang Yao, who had released the Tailed Beast Ball, was fine. She could already rub nuclear weapons with her hands, and had a certain degree of acceptance of Huo Ying's behavior of changing the terrain and creating a tree world out of thin air.

Bai Qianzhi, who was standing next to Liang Yao, was almost suffocated by surprise.

"It's Populus euphratica! Huo Ying, it's Populus euphratica!"

Bai Qianzhi was checking the trees that were dozens of meters high. She was extremely excited. What kind of great power was this? The ability of the infected was not worthy of Huo Ying's support. With one thought, thousands of trees came to life. Bai Qianzhi's eyes were slightly red. As the director of the Gene Research Institute, she understood that the end of the world had come and the god of mankind had also appeared.

What was even more shocking than Bai Qianzhi were the birds flying in the sky!

The flock of birds, which had long lost the forest, immediately swooped down excitedly. Each bird occupied a large tree and chirped excitedly on the trunk.

The quiet town suddenly became noisy. The loud bird calls seemed a little scary at first, but gradually, the sounds became melodious. The forest awakened the mutant birds' instincts, and in addition to their beast-like calls, they would also sing happily.

"Brother Huo, look, it's the moon!"

Even the black fog and flying insects were frightened by the sudden appearance of the primeval forest. When they heard the birds singing, the black fog and flying insects avoided the primeval forest.

The thick darkness in the sky was finally torn apart. Standing in the forest, Huo Ying and the other two looked up. There was no fog in the sky, and there were no clouds either. The bright moonlight appeared for the first time.

"How beautiful! It's the moon!"

"Yes, the moon has been liberated, so how far can the sun be?"

Bai Qianzhi also raised her head and looked at the sky with joy.

Huo Ying did not look up at the sky, he was looking at the sacred tree in his mind. After another day, the progress of the sacred tree became 82%. For some reason, Huo Ying was also a little excited and wished that the sacred tree could be upgraded right now.

In the suburbs, a convoy of three armored vehicles, with poplar wood bonfires burning on the roofs, were speeding along.

"What happened? Why are there so many flying insects all of a sudden? Oh no, the poplar wood is burning faster. We may not be able to survive until XN City."

The infected person in charge of watching the bonfire screamed.

In the cab, a man with scars all over his face was sitting in the passenger seat smoking.

It's clearly the end of the world, but he still has cigarettes to smoke.

Hearing the shout, he stuck his cigarette butt out of the window.

Sure enough, the cigarette burned rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, only the cigarette butt was left.

"Damn, I can't even enjoy smoking a cigarette." Scarred man spat, then looked up into the distance. There was black fog and strange mist, and Scarred man couldn't see anything.

"Did you hear it? It seems like a mutant bird is calling." Scarred Man couldn't see it, but he heard it. As a powerful soldier of the investigation team in Lianhai City, Scarred Man's five senses have always been very sharp.

"It's possible that a large number of mutant birds landed ahead, which scared the flying insects to our side. Check the navigation to see which direction and where."

The driver hurriedly swiped the navigation system, and the volunteer sitting in the back seat, wrapped in bandages, immediately began to bleed. Humans cannot transplant the pituitary gland of a sea turtle, as the two are not compatible. Every time the volunteer checked the navigation system and used the turtle's positioning ability, it would hasten his death.

"We are in front of us, Ailing Town. Brother Wang, Ailing Town is within the radiation range of the couriers from XN City. Who knows, there may still be people alive in this town!"

Scar King lit another cigarette and pointed in the direction of Ailing Town. "Notify the people behind to speed up and go to Ailing Town to rest. Even if there are no living people, the mutant bird is there. If we rush over, we can save a lot of poplar wood."

Lian Haishi also has research data on mutant birds. Mutated birds generally do not attack humans. Their main food is flying insects. At night, flying insects are inexhaustible. As long as the caravan does not cause trouble, they can spend a night safely under the protection of the mutant birds.

The only thing that made Scar King curious was why the mutant birds appeared at low altitude tonight. Couldn't these birds already roost on the clouds thousands of miles high?

Soon, the convoy drove into the road of Ailing Town.

"Wait! Slow down!"

Scar King suddenly gave an order, then took the telescope and looked at a house beside the road.

There was no fire in the house, but there was light inside. The man with the scar saw something that looked like a light bulb hanging on the roof. It was not connected to any circuit, but it was just glowing.

Moreover, the door was open, with only a door curtain made of special material hanging on it.

But this door curtain seemed to have a special magic. Not only flying insects, but even the black fog avoided the door curtain.

Immediately afterwards, figures flashed in the room, and the White Zetsu began to change shifts.

Two strong White Zetsu walked out of the house, stood on the left and right of the door to keep watch, and took the opportunity to pull out their spines and shaped them into bone spears. The two White Zetsu, leaning on the bone spears, wandered at the door majestically.

"Holy crap, what the hell is this? Is it weird? Has weirdness evolved to this point?"

The scarred man swallowed his saliva, then started coughing violently. He almost swallowed the cigarette into his throat accidentally.

"Impossible, Weird won't use lamps!"

The scarred man tiptoed to the roof of the car and watched carefully through a telescope from a distance.

Looking through the door curtain, the scarred man saw four strong White Zetsu busying themselves around a table in the room. Upon closer inspection, he saw that there were neatly arranged wooden blocks on the table.

It's mahjong!
Wooden Mahjong!

This group of weirdos are actually playing cards!

"Interesting." The scarred man was no longer surprised, but instead breathed a sigh of relief: "Ailing Town is very likely the research base of XN City. If nothing unexpected happens, those things should have been developed by XN City."

Scar Man had come into contact with scientific researchers in Lianhai City, and had even seen experimental products such as human ghosts. When he saw that the actions of the White Zetsu were so humanized, he immediately determined that these were not purely weird.

"Boss, so there are academicians in Ailing Town?"

"It's different. What if these things are out of control? There are many cases of people killing people with tricks." The scarred man thought quickly and waved his hand: "Let's go around and enter this town from the back to see if we can find anyone alive. Who knows, these weird things may be controllable. If there is really an academician in Ailing Town, the weird things can also be controlled, and we will be saved!"

The three armored vehicles quickly bypassed the highway and entered from another entrance of Ailing Town. The highway corresponded to residential houses in Ailing Town, and the other entrance corresponded to a large dilapidated construction site. The nearest one was the territory occupied by Zhang and his son.

"Boss, there's a rain ghost nearby!"

The armored vehicle was tied with poplar charcoal, which instantly crushed and purified a rain ghost, but when it smelled the scent of humans, the rain ghosts immediately gathered from all directions.

"how so!"

The scarred man frowned. Normally, Yu Gui would enter the town and search for living people door to door. If there were no living people in the entire town, Yu Gui would also scatter and look for humans in other places.

But the rain ghosts in Ailing Town were all gathered together, blocking the entrances and exits. They neither entered the town nor were reluctant to disperse.

It was as if there was some terrifying existence in the town. Yu Gui didn't dare to enter, but was reluctant to leave, so he was forced to gather here and hesitate.

"Don't be afraid, just bump into it."

More than half of the charcoal on the three armored vehicles was consumed in an instant, but they still managed to pass through the group of rain monsters.

Yu Gui, who was angered by the armored vehicle and had been afraid to enter the town, finally took action and chased after the armored vehicle.

"Look, there's a fire, there's someone there, go there!"

Finally, the man with the scar saw real fire.

Then three armored vehicles crashed into an abandoned construction site.

Zhang Famao and his son, as well as An Zaixin, were roasting by the fire on a wet rainy day.

An Yu stood on the other side, practicing gun fighting techniques.

Since Huo Ying left behind a large amount of explosive clay, the four of them were safe.

The detonating clay contained elements of poplar wood, and with one shot, both the mutated infected dogs and the groups of rain ghosts were killed instantly as soon as the bullet exploded. Moreover, Huo Ying also left a large amount of poplar wood, and the four of them felt that their lives were extremely comfortable.

Suddenly, the armored vehicle crashed into the factory.

An Yu immediately picked up the rifle and pointed it at the armored vehicle from a distance.

With explosive bullets, even an armored vehicle can be blown up with one shot.

"An Yu! An Zaixin! Oh my God, you are here, it's me!" The scarred man didn't know whether the people on the other side were friends or enemies and whether they could accept his convoy. As a result, when he looked through the telescope, he found that two of the four people were acquaintances, and An Zaixin was Scar King's colleague in Lianhai City.

"Pharaoh!"

An Zaixin didn't have a telescope, so he couldn't see Scar King clearly, but he recognized Scar King's voice.

Then, An Zaixin frowned as he saw the group of Yugui following behind three armored vehicles.

"An Yu, it's Lao Wang and the others." An Zaixin turned around and told An Yu while explaining to Zhang's father and son: "Don't worry, Lao Wang is my colleague, a soldier in the investigation team who is responsible for covering the retreat. Those who dare to stay behind to cover the retreat for mankind are all heroes. You don't have to worry."

Bang bang bang!
An Yu pulled the trigger, and two bullets blew up Yu Gui who was chasing him.

A bullet flew towards the armored vehicle.
