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

Chapter 9 Combat
Zhang Yuqi did not continue talking about the zombie riot, but took Huo Ying out, walked around his house, and marked the houses that might be dangerous.

Huo Ying's house is on the edge of the town, a little closer to a low mountain. There are only a few residents around it, so it is relatively safe.

The house where Zhang Yuqi and Bai Jie lived was located a little further into the town, surrounded by ruins and low houses, and was much more dangerous than Huo Ying's place.

Huo Ying didn't ask, Zhang Yuqi and Bai Jie must have a reason why they couldn't move.

While guarding against the zombies and checking the environment, Huo Ying's physical strength was quickly consumed, but Zhang Yuqi was always at ease, with steady and fast steps.

"That's enough. I'm just letting you get used to it. I'm not really letting you survive alone." Zhang Yuqi went back to Huo Ying's house and stopped dragging Huo Ying around.

Huo Ying nodded, returned to the house and closed the door tightly. He really needed to rest. Every time he passed a room, his nerves were tense. This state was too tiring.

After Zhang Yuqi left, Huo Ying took out some poplar wood, smashed it into several small pieces, then put it into his clothes and stuck it on his forearms, calves and stomach.

Then, Huo Ying imagined what it felt like to carry a weight, and the poplar wood immediately transformed into leg guards, elbow pads and an integrated wooden vest.

The weight on Huo Ying's body suddenly increased by about twenty kilograms.

"My health is too poor, I must find a way to exercise." Huo Ying felt a lot of pressure when he discovered the gap in physical fitness between himself and Zhang Yuqi.

Standing up, Huo Ying jumped a few times. The weight created by Wood Release was very close to his body. Although the texture was a bit hard, the wood was smooth and would not scratch the skin. It also avoided the joints and force points and did not affect the movement.

Since there will be a zombie riot, the resources that I have accumulated are far from enough.

Huo Ying picked up the shoulder pole, carrying two wooden barrels, and left the room.

Instead of going directly to the stream, Huo Ying climbed up the hill while the sun was bright, and then began to search in the sun. Without Zhang Yuqi by his side, Huo Ying no longer used a lighter, but directly lit a piece of poplar wood as a torch, and slid it over a large area of the stones.

When the Yang Stone meets the flame of the Poplar Wood, it is easier to turn red. Compared with bending down and searching with a lighter, the efficiency is instantly increased several times.

Every time he found a Yang Stone, Huo Ying would put it in a wooden barrel and then continue searching. Earlier than yesterday, Huo Ying had found three Yang Stones by himself.

After looking at the sky, Huo Ying went down the mountain early for safety reasons. There was still a shadow on the low hill, but the scope of the shadow was not large. Huo Ying took a torch and shone it, and the shadow disappeared.

Huo Ying slowed down only when he reached the foot of the mountain. He was still in the same position as yesterday. Today the shadow was shorter, not more than a few dozen meters long, but it was still a large, pitch-black area.

Huo Ying observed for a while, then slowly approached with a torch in hand, waving it to drive away the darkness.

Suddenly, the ground where the torch swept started to burn. Huo Ying hurriedly stepped back. Unexpectedly, the ground was covered with a thin layer of silk mesh. Because of Huo Ying's unintentional action, all of it was ignited by the flames of the poplar wood.

"What kind of infection is this?"

Huo Ying stepped back immediately. Suddenly, eight insect legs as long as bamboo poles appeared in the shadow. One of its front legs stretched out from the shadow, trying to hold Huo Ying down, but when it was hit by the sunlight, it felt a sizzling sensation and shrank back.

Lurking in ambush on this shadowy road was actually an infected spider larger than a wild dog. Its shell was covered with densely packed eyes, and its scarlet eyeballs were rolling around in its sockets. The terrifying density of the eyes made Huo Ying shiver all over.

Realizing that it couldn't reach Huo Ying, the spider turned around and seemed to be leaving, but its huge abdomen suddenly bulged up, and the hemp rope-like spider silk instantly passed through the shadows and stuck to Huo Ying. The attack was so fast that Huo Ying didn't have any chance to react.

With a sizzle, the spider web was quickly melted by the sunlight, but Huo Ying was still dragged into the shadow.

Wood escape, armor protection.

Huo Ying immediately activated the poplar wood weights on his body. The wrist guards, leg guards and vest immediately became thicker and connected together in the blink of an eye. Then a wooden helmet was put on Huo Ying's head. Except for the ventilation hole at the nose, the wooden armor surrounded Huo Ying in all directions without any blind spots. Gaba.

The moment the spider dragged Huo Ying past, it turned around, opened its mouth and bit Huo Ying hard.

The wooden armor made a breaking sound and cracks appeared on the surface, but it was not Huo Ying who was injured. The spider that bit Huo Ying suddenly rolled violently.

It turned out that Huo Ying had used the piercing technique on the armor. The places where the spider bit were all covered with sharp and long wooden thorns. The longest wooden thorn, as the spider exerted force, went directly to the stomach, pierced into the spider's throat, and penetrated into the spider's belly.

open!

After using up the last column of air in his body, the wooden armor broke into two halves under Huo Ying's control. Huo Ying fell to the ground from the armor, picked up the fallen torch on the spot, and thrust it hard into the spider's big mouth.

boom!
The poplar wood armor would catch fire immediately when it came into contact with fire. Fearing that the flame of the poplar wood was not enough, Huo Ying ran to the carrying pole, took out the yang stone, and smashed the yang stone into the flame.

The raging flames dispelled the shadows. The spider wanted to struggle, but the fire of the poplar wood was too strong, and the yang stone also emitted a red glow after touching the flames. The two suppressed the spider together, and large pieces of its skin and flesh fell off, and it was burned into powder in the blink of an eye.

Huo Ying did not dare to delay. He picked up the yang stone on the ground, carried the shoulder pole, and ran back to the house immediately without even daring to go to the stream.

The air column in his body is Huo Ying's courage. Once the air column is used up, Huo Ying will have no ability to resist danger.

Fortunately, this was the last shadow. Under the scorching sun, Huo Ying's mood calmed down a little. He entered the house and locked the door tightly. Huo Ying lit a torch in the room and shivered constantly beside the fire.

It was so scary and dangerous, I almost died!

Huo Ying was so nervous that he was thirsty and wanted to drink water, but a tendon in his calf was throbbing and he couldn't lift a finger.

After lying there for a long time, Huo Ying fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, the fire had dimmed a lot and the sky was dark. Black fog and flying insects rushed into the house frantically, trying to consume the fire and pounce on Huo Ying who was lying on the ground.

Inhale...exhale...

Take a deep breath.

Huo Ying got up from the ground, lit a few more torches, and drove the black fog and flying insects out of the house.

Huo Ying opened the cellar with an expressionless face and took out food and water. In addition to drinking water, Huo Ying also made a wooden basin and washed his body.

After consuming a lot of resources, Huo Ying finally calmed down and took a look at the sacred tree in his mind. Sure enough, after killing the spider infected creature with his own hands, the progress of the sacred tree became 7%.

"Damn it, you must provoke me!"

"Do you really think I'm that easy to kill?"

After venting his anger for a while in the house, Huo Ying burned all eight yang stones red, placed them beside himself, and reviewed the details of the battle with the spider.

Suddenly, the Yangshi in Huo Ying's arms became hot.

There were footsteps outside the door, more than one.
