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

Chapter 25 Wounds
Gradually the vision returned.

Huo Ying stood in a shadow, the wooden armor on his body burning fiercely.

In Huo Ying's arms, a corpse was burned to ashes, and a turbid shadow detached from the corpse.

Huo Ying's mind moved, and the wooden armor on his body suddenly fell off, turning into a burning wooden cage. Before the phantom left, it turned into a ball and swallowed the phantom.

Roar!
There was no sound, but a roar went straight into Huo Ying's mind.

The yang stones on Huo Ying's body that were roasted red by the flames shattered one after another. The burning wooden prison trembled for a while, and then became quiet. It burned up bit by bit, and no shadow was seen flying out of it again.

Tick.

Blood dripped to the ground.

Huo Ying wiped it off. The roar made Huo Ying bleed from all his seven orifices. If it weren't for the burning wooden armor that also roasted the red sun stone to block it for Huo Ying, Huo Ying might have died just now.

Take a look around.

Huo Ying was not standing at the door of his own house, nor was he standing at the home of the couple.

A dozen meters away is the gate of the Blue Gene Factory.

At this moment, two unburned wooden arrows fell to the ground.

Huo Ying understood in his heart that he must have been accidentally bewitched by the corpse ghost, and his vision and senses were distorted. He might not have really touched the lighter at all, so neither the Yang Stone nor the arrow was ignited.

Fortunately, he had a trick up his sleeve. Wood Release could create vines. The moment he rushed towards the shadow, he controlled the vines to wrap around everything on his body and pressed the button like triggering a lighter.

Sure enough, there were zombies around him. As long as they came into contact with flames, the wooden armor would burn quickly and the yang stone would be roasted red.

"What exactly is in the Azure Gene Factory?"

Huo Ying glanced at the factory gate from afar and didn't dare to get any closer. Just now, he was tricked by the corpse ghost and pushed the door, and was immediately attacked by the things hidden in the factory. Even the sturdy wooden armor seemed like paper.

"Will I be attacked as long as I touch the gate?"

The factory was a gate. Huo Ying just pushed it, but the gate did not move at all. Huo Ying had no idea how the things inside attacked him.

Also, how did the corpse ghost distort his own vision and senses? If the corpse ghost was so strong from the beginning, he would have died long ago.

Huo Ying's back was covered in cold sweat; he had just narrowly escaped death.

What was the roar in the phantom? Huo Ying could feel that it was not the voice of the corpse ghost. It seemed that something was connected to the corpse ghost. The moment he really killed the corpse ghost, that thing was angered.

"Could it be that the corpse ghost is also controlled by something?"

Huo Ying didn't dare to stay near the factory. He ran as fast as he could and ran all the way to Liang Yao's house.

"Why are you injured again?"

Liang Yao opened the door and was about to show off the clean ironware, but she saw Huo Ying's face covered in blood and his body covered with blisters from burns. She was so scared that she dragged Huo Ying into the house and closed the door.

After helping Huo Ying onto the chair, Liang Yao took off her white veil and leaned closely against him, allowing a large area of her skin to come into contact with him so that the anti-inflammatory properties could take effect quickly.

Sure enough, even burns can be healed with Liang Yao’s ability.

Feeling that the blisters on his skin were getting better, Huo Ying once again discovered that Liang Yao's abilities were very special.

She was infected, and the organ that was strengthened was her skin. In addition to protection and sterilization, the skin's resistance and self-healing ability were also strengthened. Using the strengthened skin to purify items was only the lowest level of use. Using the skin's resistance and anti-inflammatory function to heal wounds was the greatest use.

Yesterday, Huo Ying was injured by an axe, and the wound was too deep, not just on the skin, so even with Liang Yao's help, it took him a night to recover. Today, Huo Ying's burns were on the skin, and Liang Yao's strengthened organ was also the skin. As the two came into contact, Huo Ying's burns faded visibly.

As long as it is about treating injuries on the surface of the skin, Liang Yao is the most powerful medicine in the world.

Seeing that Huo Ying did not answer her question, Liang Yao did not ask any further questions.

From the time Huo Ying generously gave her poplar wood and collected pots and clocks to purify herself, Liang Yao knew that Huo Ying was very capable and even dared to break into the house where the corpse ghost was hiding.

Liang Yao understood that ability did not come out of thin air, but was accumulated bit by bit through fighting for survival in the doomsday. Therefore, she had no right to advise Huo Ying to pay attention to safety, and could only do her best to help Huo Ying.

The blisters disappeared, the wounds healed, and Huo Ying stood up from the stool.

"You can keep one piece of the pot, and you can change the way you eat the potatoes. I'll take the rest and bring it to you when I find a new one."

Liang Yao saw Huo Ying was about to leave and pulled Huo Ying: "Do you still have water and Yangshi? If so, I can exchange them."

Huo Ying looked up at the closed door on the second floor of Liang Yao's house. Huo Ying had previously thought that all the supplies were stored here, but now it seems that he was wrong.

"I neglected it. I will send it to you tomorrow."

Perhaps something very important to Liang Yao was locked on the second floor. Huo Ying had no habit of prying into other people's secrets. He took the cleaned iron items and hurried back to his room.

After winding the clock and taking a look at the sky outside, Huo Ying saw that the sun was beginning to set, so he set the time to five o'clock in the afternoon.

The specific points don’t matter, Huo Ying’s most important goal is to keep time.

The clockwork clock began to swing, and Huo Ying finally had time to calm down and examine the sacred tree in his mind.

[Progress: 40%]

By using the wooden cage to trap the turbid shadow of the corpse ghost and then burning it clean, Huo Ying actually increased his progress by 10% at once.

The number of pockmarks increased slightly, but not much. With the experience from last time, Huo Ying inferred that one air column should be added for every 30% progress.

"Only by burning the gray shadow can we truly kill the corpse ghost."

Huo Ying secretly thought that he was lucky. The people in this world should only know how to resist and avoid the corpse ghosts. After all, they did not have wood escape technique, and could not have an inexhaustible supply of poplar wood. Even if there were enough poplar wood, it would be difficult for them to create an airtight wooden prison, or even use it to trap Gray Shadow.

Maybe someone has discovered it, but that person doesn't have the seed of the sacred tree, so he can't see the difference in progress and has no way of confirming that the corpse ghost is really dead, so this news has not been popularized.

Huo Ying rubbed his head. With this method, the progress bar grew fast enough, but he didn't know what the roar in the dark was. Liang Yao's ability only cured Huo Ying's burns, and he still felt a dull pain in his temple.

clang.

There was a knock on Huo Ying's window, and a red yang stone was swinging.

It’s Zhang Yuqi.

It wasn't dark yet, but it was getting dark soon. Zhang Yuqi didn't accompany Sister Bai and came to her place instead.

Huo Ying took a look at the room inside the house. As the things were getting more and more, he didn't have time to hide them. After hesitating for a while, Huo Ying decided to expose some of the supplies, so he became more alert and was ready to activate the wooden armor at any time.

After the door opened, Zhang Yuqi fell in. She looked pale and there was a deep knife wound on her left arm.
