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

Chapter 39 Instant Kill
It is easy to purify bacteria and dust, but purifying the power left by the monsters will have an impact on Liang Yao's body.

Huo Ying supported Liang Yao and carried her to the bed.

Then Huo Ying dragged the wooden table to the bedside.

"Take a good rest and don't move around. Just take anything you need from the table."

Huo Ying placed a few potatoes that he had baked this morning on the table and took a wooden bowl and filled it with water.

Liang Yao watched Huo Ying pick up the fire axe and spear gun, and couldn't help but say, "Be careful."

"Oh, by the way, how do I get to the Civic Center?"

Huo Ying remembered what Wang Kai said, Elsa and Luna, mother and daughter, lived in the Civic Center.

Elsa had asked Huo Ying before whether he wanted to exchange seeds, but at that time, Huo Ying was too weak and did not dare to trade, for fear that others would find out. But now it is different. Huo Ying is wishing that someone would remember him so that he could make a few mummies and provide nutrients to the sacred tree at night.

Also, Liang Yao said that the civic center has information about residents compiled by the investigation team, and Huo Ying plans to check which other women are in the town.

"You know the road that leads to the Azure Gene Factory, right? Find the fork in the road and walk in the opposite direction. When you see more and more houses, you're on the right track. The Citizen Center and the Service Hall are in the middle of the town."

Liang Yao warned again: "There are many houses, and there is a high possibility that there are corpse ghosts hiding there. You must be careful."

Huo Ying nodded, then left the house and closed the door tightly.

Following the route Liang Yao gave, Huo Ying soon arrived at the fork in the road.

Looking towards the factory, Huo Ying vaguely saw that the poplar tree he created had even its roots dug away by others, and even the charcoal left after burning had been picked up.

Instead of approaching the factory, Huo Ying stayed far away and walked towards the civic center.

The birthmark was finally cleaned off, and Huo Ying didn't want to be contaminated by it again. Without the birthmark, the monster in the factory would not come to find him. The later he faced the monster, the greater the chance of Huo Ying's victory. After all, the sacred tree was growing every day.

Walking along the road in the opposite direction of the factory, Huo Ying finally saw rows of houses.

This should have been the center of the town before, but now it is as quiet as a stagnant pool of water. Moreover, the more houses there are and the denser they are, the more places the sunlight cannot reach. Looking around, many places on this road are covered in shadows.

Wood escape.

Huo Ying raised his finger, and a wooden arrow condensed at his fingertips.

Thunder escape.

Purple electric light shot from Huo Ying's arm to the wooden arrow, and the wooden arrow was instantly ignited.

With a light flick of the wooden arrow, Huo Ying used the burning wooden arrow as a torch and threw it into a shaded place.

The fire dispelled the shadows.

Huo Ying turned on the flashlight and shone it towards the shadows. He didn't know what was going on, but after he used the stream as a trap to trap a group of zombies that night, Huo Ying saw fewer and fewer zombies.

call--

A rocket shot into the shadows and suddenly caught fire.

A layer of spider webs was ignited by the rocket.

Suddenly, a friction sound was heard in the dark house.

The firelight illuminated the window, and Huo Ying saw that there were densely packed eyes in the window, each one staring at him.

Spider infestation.

The house is overrun with spider infestation.

The spider did not crash out, but turned around and faced its butt towards Huo Ying.

呲.

A large amount of spider silk surrounded Huo Ying.

Wood Release: Wood Armor.

With the upgrade of Wood Release, Huo Ying could control it more easily, without even carrying any weight. Huo Ying's body was instantly wrapped in solid wooden armor.

Earth escape: hardening.

A brown luster flashed on the wooden armor. Wood escape technique and earth escape technique were merged. The armor remained in the state of wood, but its texture became like diamond.

Huo Ying let the spider drag him away without fighting back, just to test his new strength. The spider turned its head suddenly, and each of its pupils showed joy. It opened its mouth wide and bit Huo Ying hard.

Click.

In the quiet town, the sound of shattering was particularly clear.

Huo Ying's wooden armor didn't even leave a mark, but the spider's big mouth was full of inky blood.

Lightning Release: Thunder Snake.

The wooden armor suddenly flashed a purple light.

A line of electric current as thick as a bowl drilled into the spider-infected creature through the wooden armor.

The next second, steam came out of the giant spider's body due to the electric shock, and its body remained there, with only the eyeballs in its pupils moving back and forth in fear.

"Well, it's much better than the first time I saw the infected creature. Next time I meet it, I won't need so many escape techniques to kill it."

A brown wooden thorn extended from Huo Ying's wooden armor. Lei Mang lit the thorn and easily pierced into the spider's body.

boom.

The fire broke out instantly, and the spider was ignited from the inside and turned into ashes in a few seconds.

[Progress: 1.31%]

Huo Ying looked at the sacred tree. Among the progress, 0.3% was the increase from killing the corpse phantom last night, 1% was absorbed by the sacred tree itself after a night, and the last 0.01% was brought by killing the spider infection.

"After the sacred tree evolved, it needed more nutrients. Ordinary zombies and infected creatures are obviously not enough."

Huo Ying and the sacred tree are in tune with each other. The reason why the sacred tree's progress increases by 1% every night is because the sacred tree becomes stronger and the speed at which it absorbs the world's energy also increases year-on-year. The progress of killing zombies and infected creatures decreases because the total amount of energy required for the sacred tree to advance increases.

The spider was burned to ashes. Huo Ying picked up the flashlight and shone it into the dark room.

There were no zombies in the house, but the walls and ceiling were covered with spider webs, with white cocoons the size of buckets stuck on the webs.

These white cocoons were still moving, but when they were illuminated by the flashlight, they immediately pretended to be dead.

"No wonder this spider stayed in the house and didn't come out. It turns out it was hatching eggs in the house."

Huo Ying thought about it and decided not to burn the eggs. Instead, he used Wood Release to make wooden boards and sealed the windows of the house.

There are too few infected objects. Killing spiders gives so little reward. What's the point of killing a few eggs? If you raise these eggs and then harvest them in batches, wouldn't it be possible to upgrade faster?

Huo Ying was worried that some residents in the town might accidentally break into the house, so he left a message on the window with charcoal.

"There's a giant spider in the house, be careful!"

Without removing the wooden armor, Huo Ying just walked around in it.

After the protection of the sacred tree enhanced his physical strength, Huo Ying felt almost no pressure when wearing the hardened wooden armor.

The rockets were not lit, Huo Ying used himself as bait and just walked in the shadows.

"Huo Ying!"

After walking for ten minutes, Huo Ying heard a familiar voice. It was Liang Yao's.

Turning around, a rotten corpse was waving at Huo Ying in the corner.

"Well, I'm here."

Huo Ying tried to reply.

The corpse ghost in the corner grinned. As long as humans responded to it, they would fall into the illusion and be dragged into the shadow.

As long as they are in the shadows, even the infected are no match for the zombies.

Watching Huo Ying walking towards him step by step, the corpse ghost suddenly frowned in a human-like manner.

and many more.

The corpse ghost felt something unusual. In Huo Ying's pupils, it did not see the confusion of loss of focus, but instead saw its own ugly appearance.
