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

Chapter 22 Spear Gun Upgrade
At daybreak, Huo Ying checked his wound.

Liang Yao leaned on Huo Ying while she was sleeping.

In fact, it is using contact tihor to continuously reduce inflammation.

After one night, Huo Ying's wounds were mostly healed.

What surprised Huo Ying even more was that the fire axe was also in good condition as new.

The axe blade shone cleanly with a blue light, and it was obvious that it was sharper than before.

At this time, Liang Yao was roasting potatoes on a dying fire. Seeing Huo Ying wake up, Liang Yao said, "Dinner will be served soon. Do you want to finish breakfast before leaving?"

Huo Ying shook his head, picked up the fire axe, and returned to his house.

The first thing I did when I entered the house was to take out the design drawings of the spear gun.

After understanding the principles of the trigger and the wrench, Huo Ying was already able to use Wood Release to make a rapid-fire spear gun.

But in the blueprint, there are also special arrows that can increase the lethality.

What attracted Huo Ying the most was the wolftooth fish arrow. This kind of arrow had many barbs on the arrowhead, and there were blood grooves at the tip of the barbs. Once hit by a wolftooth fish arrow, if it was not pulled out, the blood grooves would cause the wound to continue bleeding. But if it was pulled out, the barbs would tear off a large piece of flesh and blood. No matter which choice was made, the person would be seriously injured.

I hope I can use this kind of arrow on zombies instead of humans.

Huo Ying sighed and used Wood Release to make nine wolf-tooth fish markers, which he installed on three rapid-fire harpoon guns. Huo Ying wore a weight, hung the harpoons on the weight and hid them under his clothes, put a flashlight and a yang stone in his pocket, and took the newly acquired fire axe and left the house.

At this moment, Huo Ying felt that he was particularly strong.

In my mind, the progress of the sacred tree has increased to 17%, and the death of the man and woman did not increase the progress of the sacred tree.

Today, Huo Ying did not go to collect supplies, but walked towards a room not far from his house where a corpse ghost was hidden.

Huo Ying stood in the sun and picked up the spear gun.

The corpse ghost, who was supposed to use illusion to lure Huo Ying closer, behaved out of character today and had no reaction at all when facing Huo Ying who was nearby.

Huo Ying took out the Yang Stone and took a look. The Yang Stone was burning red, which meant that the corpse ghost was nearby. Huo Ying tried to take a few steps closer to the shadow, but there was still no movement in the shadow.

"How is this going?"

Huo Ying thought about it, took out a flashlight, and shone it towards the shadow.

The strong light pierced through the darkness, revealing a rotten corpse. The corpse's scarlet eyeballs were still moving. It was a corpse ghost.

The flashlight did not have the power of the sun, and when it shone on the corpse ghost, it felt nothing. The corpse ghost thought it was still in the dark, and stared straight at Huo Ying, its pupils filled with anger.

"So this is what a flashlight does..."

Both zombies and infected creatures have a strange ability, which is that they can hide perfectly in the shadows. As long as they don't move, they are difficult to be discovered.

Just like the shadow that Huo Ying passed by when he went to the low mountain before, the infected dogs and spiders were very large, but they didn't move, and it was as if nothing existed in the shadow.

The purpose of a high-intensity flashlight is to illuminate the shadows and reveal the zombies and infected creatures hiding in the shadows.

Huo Ying felt a little uncomfortable when he found that the corpse ghost was hiding in the shadows and staring at him. He shook the flashlight and saw that many parts of the corpse ghost's body had disappeared, and even its body was riddled with holes.

This is……

This is the corpse ghost that I splashed with stream water that night.

Huo Ying reacted and realized why the corpse ghost looked at him with anger. It turned out that he was the one who slipped through the net that night. The reason why the corpse ghost did not cast illusion on Huo Ying was because it discovered that Huo Ying's memory seemed incompatible with this world. It could also distinguish between reality and illusion in the illusion, so it did not waste its energy.

After finding out the location of the corpse ghost, Huo Ying lit the wolf tooth fish marker and shot it at the corpse ghost's body.

Huo Ying hit the fixed target with the first arrow within thirty meters.

The power of the sun in the poplar wood was instantly activated, and the corpse lying on the ground turned into a fire man in the blink of an eye, constantly twitching in the flames.

Huo Ying lit another arrow and waited quietly.

In less than a minute, the corpse turned into ashes, and then a turbid shadow left the corpse.

This is what you've been waiting for!

Huo Ying shot another arrow, which pierced the phantom. The phantom trembled, and the arrow fell to the ground. The flame also went out. The phantom did not disappear, and did not seem to be injured. It just paused for a moment, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"Is this phantom the real body of the corpse ghost?"

The flames kill the corpse controlled by the zombie. Once a new corpse is found, the zombie can be resurrected.

"How can we eliminate the phantom?"

Huo Ying didn’t know the answer, what he urgently needed to do now was to speed up the growth of the sacred tree.

Sure enough, after burning a corpse, the progress of the sacred tree increased by 1%.

Looking at the Yang Stone again, the hot sensation of the Yang Stone disappeared, proving that there was no corpse ghost near Huo Ying.

Picking up the fire axe, Huo Ying walked to the house occupied by the zombie and chopped down the wooden boards nailed to the windows with a few blows of the axe.

The house being occupied by a corpse ghost proves that the people in the house are dead. What Huo Ying is doing now is to search the house.

The powerful flashlight came in handy again, illuminating the dark room.

The house was moldy and the paint on the walls was peeling off. Huo Ying searched for a while and found a rusty iron pot.

"Not bad, I'll let the laundry lady clean it up then."

The iron pot was very dirty, but Huo Ying didn't care. Liang Yao was very capable. As long as he took the iron pot to Liang Yao, it would soon become a new pot.

After the search, Huo Ying walked to the next room. As long as the Yang Stone became hot, Huo Ying would shine the flashlight on it and ignite the corpse inside with the fish mark. If the Yang Stone did not change, Huo Ying would stay away from that room.

After all, a room without zombies may be inhabited by living people, and a house where living people live may have defensive traps.

The nine arrows were soon used up. When Huo Ying entered the room to collect them, he used Wood Release to replenish them. Now, the houses around Huo Ying had been swept, and most of these corpses were incomplete. They were the guys who besieged Huo Ying that night.

【Progress: 30】

The progress of the sacred tree experienced a sudden increase. The seed of the sacred tree in Huo Ying's mind grew a little bigger again. Then, the tingling sensation reappeared. Together with the previous increase, Huo Ying finally had an extra column of air in his body.

The number of times that Wood Release can be released reaches six times, and Huo Ying vaguely feels that the recovery speed of the energy column has also increased a little.

Just as Huo Ying was about to go home to rest, he was stunned.

He saw a wooden man embedded in the ground at the door of a house.

There were many red dots painted on the pile with fuel. Upon closer inspection, Huo Ying found that these red dots were the same as the acupuncture points he found after killing the male and female duo.

Is this house the home of those two people?

Huo Ying pinched his pocket and took out the key from the couple, which Huo Ying happened to have with him.
