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

Chapter 96 Strive (3K Subscription Request)
The little stutterer's body turned into ashes bit by bit.

Huo Ying did not dare to let his guard down and stared secretly at the panel of the sacred tree.

[Sacred Tree: Developmental Period]

[Progress: 10%]

Huo Ying heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that the sacred tree had made some progress.

As the sacred tree advanced, the benefits of Huo Ying killing the weird things gradually became smaller. Huo Ying could accept this. After all, the little stutterer was not the weird thing itself, but was infused with power by the weird thing. In essence, he was the same as He Lili's ghost baby.

A ball of new energy was born at the root of the sacred tree. Huo Ying sensed that this ball of energy could be transformed into leaves to activate new blood limits, or it could be used to nourish existing blood limits. If placed on the Sharingan, it would upgrade the Sharingan.

Putting the sacred tree aside for the moment, Huo Ying looked at Hou Ping, who still had a tumor on his body.

"You are now free from the control of the little stutterer, but the strange power that is parasitic on you has not been eliminated yet." Huo Ying looked at Hou Ping hesitantly. If he was a little ruthless, he should kill Hou Ping now to prevent him from being controlled by the strange power again. But in the battle just now, Hou Ping helped Huo Ying and stopped Bai Qianzhi from using a potion with extremely strong side effects. Now he turned against him and wanted to kill him. Huo Ying was not cruel enough to that extent.

Both of Hou Ping's eyes regained clarity.

"My existence must be bothering you." Hou Ping smiled. His enhanced ability is his sense of smell, which allows him to locate the person emitting the smell. He knows that Huo Ying is worried that someone will use him to locate Liang Yao and Bai Qianzhi.

"I also want to die, so as not to become a strange puppet again. That kind of life is more painful than death." Hou Ping took out a rune from his arms. There were three words engraved on the rune: Investigation Team.

"But I can't die now. I'm an investigator of the XN City Investigation Team. I need to return to XN City and report Zhang Yuqi's case." Hou Ping pinched the rune with both hands and exerted great force. The rune was actually broken into two parts. He picked up one part and handed it to Huo Ying. Hou Ping said, "I don't know if I will have a chance to pass on the message. If I die, I will give the other half of the rune to the person I trust most."

"If I pass the message on, the investigation team will definitely get rid of Zhang Yuqi. Then, you will be safe. If the matter is successful, someone will find you with this half rune and tell you the follow-up news."

Hou Ping's eyes were calm. He already knew his ending in advance. The first possibility was that the truth was passed on and the investigation team would get rid of Zhang Yuqi. But with the death of Zhang Yuqi, he, as the parasite of Zhang Yuqi's strange energy, would also dissipate with her death.

The second possibility is that the truth was not conveyed at all, he was discovered in advance and was directly killed by Zhang Yuqi.

"If I don't pass on the message, someone will still come to you with this half rune. I beg you to tell him about Zhang Yuqi. He will inherit my mission and finish what I have unfinished."

Huo Ying thought about it, and finally took the rune: "Can you return to XN City by smell?"

Once the members of the investigation team disappeared, XN City would replace the dispersal runes. Without the help of the runes, Hou Ping's only way to return to XN City was to use his nose and smell his way back.

Hou Ping did not answer, but just put the longbow on his back and said: "We have to give it a try, right?"

Huo Ying was silent. Hou Ping had no choice. If he stayed in the small town, Huo Ying would surely be afraid of him. He might as well fight hard and try to see if he could return to XN City. If he succeeded, his death would be more meaningful. If he failed, he would die anyway, and dying in the suburbs would not cause Huo Ying any trouble.

"Take care of yourself!"

Huo Ying thought about it, walked to Liang Yao, and handed Liang Yao's quiver to Hou Ping. The quiver was filled with arrows made of poplar wood and earth escape, which could be ignited to kill the weird, and could also be smoked into charcoal to offset the rain. This was his last gift to Hou Ping.

"Thank you."

Hou Ping took the quiver and without wasting any time, plunged into the rain.

"Okay, we should go back."

Huo Ying stood up and walked in front, while releasing the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique to sense Hou Ping's position. Now Huo Ying's water escape level was not enough, and the range of the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique was limited, but he could still sense that Hou Ping walked onto the road and walked out of Huo Ying's perception range little by little.

Liang Yao looked at Bai Qianzhi and pulled her sleeve, but Bai Qianzhi just smiled and shook her head. Huo Ying had lost his memory and was no longer the person she was familiar with. Now that she was approaching him, she was somewhat asking for trouble.

Liang Yao did not let go, but said to Bai Qianzhi: "Sister Bai, now is the end of the world, do you still want to use the shackles deliberately created by society to trap yourself?"

Huo Ying sensed the situation behind him, turned around and urged: "You two, what are you dawdling about? Hurry up and catch up."

After hearing what Huo Ying said, Liang Yao blinked and said to Bai Qianzhi: "Okay, Brother Huo invited you, so it's okay this time."

"Hey, I don't see things as clearly as you do." Bai Qianzhi thought for a moment, pulled Liang Yao's hand tightly, and followed Huo Ying shoulder to shoulder with Liang Yao.

Instead of heading towards the town, Bai Qianzhi was surprised to see Huo Ying walking straight into the hill.

“You built a house in the mountains?”

"No, you'll know when you get there." Liang Yao deliberately kept Bai Qianzhi in suspense until they reached the mountain gate. Liang Yao then ran to the front and said, "Brother Huo, let me try to open the door."

Liang Yao took out the mountain gate key, which was a few sizes larger than the ordinary key, and inserted it into the hidden lock. Then she started the mechanical arm and pushed it hard. A huge friction sound was heard, and a door that pushed inwards on the neat and smooth mountain wall opened. Bai Qianzhi raised her eyebrows, walked up and pinched Liang Yao's face, pretending to be surprised and said, "Wow, hostess, your house is so beautiful."

Liang Yao gestured for a long time, just to show that she had the key and that the robotic arm was what Huo should use to open the door for her.

After scanning the room, Bai Qianzhi saw two beds in the room. She smiled and glanced at Huo Ying. Bai Qianzhi said in a voice that only Liang Yao could hear: "Madam, why do you still sleep in separate beds? I remember Huo Ying doesn't snore."

Eh? Liang Yao's tone stagnated, and then she reluctantly found an excuse: "Ahem, okay, I was testing you secretly. It seems that your identity is real. You even know whether Huo Ying snores or not."

Huo Ying did not eavesdrop on what the two were saying and quickly closed the mountain gate.

After lighting all the bonfires in the cave, Huo Ying took off his shirt and hung it by the bonfire to dry. After glancing at the two women, Huo Ying opened the door to the basement and said, "Liang Yao, don't use your purification ability to do trivial things like cleaning the house. I'll go to the basement to boil water. We have enough water resources."

Liang Yao's eyes swept over Huo Ying's perfect muscle lines, and then she found Bai Qianzhi also peeking at Huo Ying's body, and immediately caught him and said, "How is it, Huo Ying is different from the one you know, right? When you touched him, he didn't have abdominal muscles yet."

Bai Qianzhi was speechless and said, "You said you had to hint to Huo Ying to bring me back, and after bringing me back, you treated me as a love rival. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

"The two concepts are different." Liang Yao blinked her big eyes and said with a silly face: "I brought you back because you are willing to fight for Huo Ying, and I regard you as a rival because I like Huo Ying. Besides, if I am not fierce, what if you bully me by relying on your previous identity as Huo Ying's wife?"

"Your tea ceremony seems familiar to me."

"Hehe, I practiced this when I was fighting Zhang Yuqi."

In the basement, Huo Ying opened up another room, dug out a pool in the room, and then released water escape to fill the pool.

After feeling the water temperature, Huo Ying used the Fire Escape technique again and sprayed a few breaths of fire at the pool, causing hot steam to rise from the pool.

"Yeah, the temperature is just right."

Huo Ying entered the pool, leaned comfortably against the wall, and soaked his whole body in the water.

Although the purification ability is convenient, taking a bath is the real enjoyment.

Under the protection of the sacred tree, Huo Ying finally possessed super ninjutsu, and he also obtained the Sharingan. Even strong men like Xiao Jieba and Xiao Huohuo could not hurt him. The powerful strength finally allowed Huo Ying to breathe a sigh of relief and relax his tense nerves.

"Would you like us to boil water for you?"

Liang Yao's voice suddenly came from the basement, and then Liang Yao and Bai Qianzhi sensed the heat in the pool and walked over following the steam.

“Wow, that’s a lot of water!”

Liang Yao screamed and Bai Qianzhi was also shocked. They both thought that if there was enough water, they could just wipe their bodies with a rag dipped in water. They didn't expect that what Huo Ying meant was a hot bath, and a hot spring bath at that.

puff.

Liang Yao jumped in excitedly, but she was not very good at swimming, so she splashed around in the pool like a duck that had just learned to swim.

Bai Qianzhi was also somewhat tempted, but compared to the childish Liang Yao, she was much more reserved. She first stretched out one of her long legs to test the water temperature, and then walked into the bathtub little by little. After submerging her entire body in the water, the water surface beside Bai Qianzhi began to ripple, and the next second, Bai Qianzhi's clothes were thrown out of the bathtub and onto the shore.

Looking at the stunned Liang Yao, Bai Qianzhi smiled gently: "I don't have the ability to purify, and the clothes will dirty the water, so I threw them out. Uh, Liang Yao, you won't find it inconvenient, right?"

Liang Yao spit out a bubble in the water and said, "Why are you asking me if it's inconvenient? I have everything you have, so why should I be inconvenienced? Damn it, I actually lost."

Liang Yao rolled her eyes, then took a deep breath, dived into the water, and when she swam out, she was already in front of Huo Ying. After taking a breath, Liang Yao dived again. This time, the water surface was rippling, and Liang Yao did not come up to breathe for a long time.

Huo Ying leaned against the wall, his shoulders and collarbones exposed above the water. His veins bulged, as if a ferocious dragon was coiled on his muscles. He exhaled subconsciously, and his scalp felt tingling. He was really stimulated by the scene before him.

Bai Qianzhi looked at Huo Ying quietly, then chose a comfortable position, leaning against the wall, admiring the erotic scene in front of her.

Bai Qianzhi felt her body getting hot. This was a scene she had never imagined. Perhaps she would have hated it before, but after suffering in doomsday for a long time, she actually felt it was very refreshing.

"Are you in a difficult situation?" Bai Qianzhi didn't say anything, but just mouthed to Huo Ying.

"It's the end of the world. Even the future isn't worth fighting for." Bai Qianzhi opened her red lips and whispered to Huo Ying, "So, please don't choose. Leave a good one for us to fight for."

With a splash, Liang Yao emerged from the water, took a deep breath, gave Huo Ying a wicked smile, and dived back into the water.
