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

Chapter 64 Defense
Under the effect of earth escape, the stone wall that acted as a protective shield flowed to the ground like mud, exposing the larvae protected by the stone ball.

Although it is a larva, even when curled up in the stone eggs, the larva's body is the size of a buffalo.

With sharp mouthparts, huge abdomen and powerful hind legs, the larva looks like a giant grasshopper.

Sensing the flames of the poplar wood, the larva opened its eyes, its white eyeballs and red pupils staring at Huo Ying.

The wooden spear pierced the larva.

The hardened wooden spear did not break, but it pressed against the larva's shell and could not penetrate it at all.

The larva's shell is as hard as the stone ball that wraps it.

The flames burned the larvae, and it curled up for a moment, then kicked the flames with the long legs on its chest, and the poplar wood fire that was always effective against the corpse ghosts was extinguished directly.

Can’t be killed!

Huo Ying drew out his Yang Blade, activated his Thunder Release, and the Yang Blade turned bright red.

The mechanical arm ran at full power, and the hardened Yang Blade was endowed with a force of one thousand pounds, slashing heavily at the larvae.

clang!
There was a clanging sound underground, and a knife mark appeared on the larva's shell, causing the larva to grimace in pain.

The next second, the larva suddenly spat out a mouthful of pus. Huo Ying hurriedly dodged. The pus splashed onto the ground, and the rubble on the ground was instantly corroded with a sizzling sound.

Damn it! Yang Dao is useless!
The destroyer's defense was too strong, even if it was just a larva, Huo Ying could do nothing about it.

Weapons cannot penetrate it, and the flames can be extinguished by kicking. The methods that Huo Ying knew were completely ineffective.

Wait, there is another way.

Huo Ying thought about it, and activated the earth escape technique again to restore the stone balls and seal them again. Then he used the mechanical arm to push the three stone balls, and slowly sank them into the ground.

Sneaking all the way to the next alley, Huo Ying first swam out of the mud and made sure that there was no one else around before activating the robotic arm to push out the stone ball.

Pushing the ball all the way to basement No. 2, Huo Ying placed the stone ball in the basement, then sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

The three stone balls were too heavy. Even if they could roll, and even with the help of a robotic arm, they almost exhausted Huo Ying's strength. The strengthening effect brought by the protection of the sacred tree was still within the range that could be achieved by human exercise, and there was no comparison when facing this kind of monster.

After resting for a while, Huo Ying picked up the shoulder pole and wooden barrel and walked to the stream.

Huo Ying planned to try whether the stream water could corrode the larvae inside.

After carrying the stream water back home, Huo Ying opened the stone ball and used Wood Release to create a long pole. He pushed the wooden barrel from a distance and poured the stream water onto the larvae.

Wow.

The larvae were drenched through, but the scene of being swallowed did not appear. Sensing the water on their bodies, the larvae actually licked them hungrily.

In front of Huo Ying, the larvae actually drank up all the stream water.

So that’s it. This is the ecological chain between the monsters.

Huo Ying had a guess in his mind that the stream water that humans could not touch might be the daily drinking water for the destroyers. The endless parasites in the water might even be food for the larvae, just like ants could gnaw the dam to collapse, and anteaters could easily eat up the ants.

In the cycle between the monsters, the destroyer's life level is higher than the parasites in the stream. The parasites in the stream cannot harm the destroyer and can only become the destroyer's food.

Then, how can Huo Zhaohui and his family kill the destroyer?
Huo Ying carefully observed the larvae and finally saw the dent on the larvae's shell that had not recovered.

Rather than saying that this was cut out by the Yang Sword, it would be more accurate to say that it was smashed out by the Yang Sword with the help of hardening and mechanical arms.

Huo Ying's eyes lit up.

This destroyer larva can block the slashing of weapons containing Yang power, but it cannot block the hammering of Yang power! Since the spear and Yang knife are useless, the larva can't pierce or chop, I can find a way to get a weapon full of Yang power and smash the larva to death!
"Yes, I forgot to study how the Yangdao was made."

In the doomsday, there were too many things to do every day, and Huo Ying almost forgot about the custom-made weapons between him and Zhang father and son. If the larvae were not difficult to kill, Huo Ying might not have looked for Zhang father and son again, and would have kept the Yang Dao as a trading item for his own use.

"No, there are too many monsters in the apocalypse, and conventional weapons like swords are simply not enough."

Huo Ying looked at the Yang Dao, which he had used quite well in the past few days, and prepared to say goodbye to it. Tomorrow Huo Ying would go to the playground to see if there was any rally. If Zhang and his son were there, he would order a more handy weapon.

On the other side, a pickup truck drove straight towards Huo Ying's house.

The zombie riot was over. Zhang Yuqi loaded her car with supplies and wanted to see if Huo Ying needed anything.

Originally, Zhang Yuqi wanted to come the day before the zombie riot, but a heavy fog suddenly covered the town.

After parking the car in the parking shed built by Huo Ying, Zhang Yuqi knocked on the window with the red-baked yang stone.

Then he stood in front of the door: "It's me, open the door."

The room was quiet, without any movement.

Zhang Yuqi's heart suddenly rose to her throat.

"No, even if Huo Ying went out for something, Liang Yao should be in the house. Logically speaking, Huo Ying couldn't take someone like Liang Yao, who has no fighting ability, out to collect supplies."

"Is it possible..."

Zhang Yuqi panicked and leaned over the window to look inside.

There were two beds in the house, and they were far apart.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuqi felt inexplicably better.

Then, Zhang Yuqi discovered that Huo Ying was not in the room, and Liang Yao was sitting on the bed, covering her eyes and ears with her hands, motionless.

"Liang Yao, what are you doing? It's me, Zhang Yuqi. Open the door."

Liang Yao shuddered and sat on the bed shaking, but still covered her eyes and plugged her ears.

Zhang Yuqi was helpless and hurriedly explained: "Liang Yao, I am not a corpse ghost, I am really Zhang Yuqi. Look, I still have the Yang Stone in my hand. How could a corpse ghost take the Yang Stone? Did Huo Ying tell you our secret code? Every time before knocking on the door, I will knock on the window with the Yang Stone."

Liang Yao stopped shaking and quickly glanced toward the window through her fingers.

Well, she did see the Yang Stone.

However, Liang Yao still did not move. She still sat on the bed, covering her eyes and plugging her ears.

Zhang Yuqi was speechless, then she looked thoughtful and shrugged her shoulders. Zhang Yuqi put away the Yang Stone, walked back to the pickup truck, opened the door and sat back in the pickup truck without knocking on the door.

Huo Ying stored the three destroyer eggs and returned to the house. He saw the pickup truck parked in front of his house from a distance, but there was no surprise on his face.

Zhang Yuqi really came to see me.

Under the wooden helmet, Huo Ying had a serious expression. He walked very slowly, thinking with every step.

Zhang Yuqi spotted Huo Ying, opened the car door and jumped out with a look of joy on her face.

Huo Ying took a deep breath, and his serious expression disappeared. He took off his wooden helmet and smiled: "Why are you here?"
