Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 838 A sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned... Who told you to cut it in half?

With a sudden, earth-shaking tremor, a giant peach tree in the very center of the peach orchard, noticeably thicker and larger than its counterparts, with the face of an old man appearing on its massive trunk, rose from the ground, supported by an equally enormous cane that, to others, resembled a telephone pole.

When Cheng Tian encountered such a specific unit, his serpentine light and shadow appeared as expected.

【万寿桃祖：首领模板。土地公，蟠桃树。HP=9.95W+？/9.95W+？，MP=4.53W/4.53W。力量199、敏捷25、精神151、魅力70。】

[Unit Characteristics/Abilities - Land God, Warden, Abundant Peach Harvest, 3,600 Peach Trees, Peach Slave Control]

Thanks to Tianmu's high-definition Blu-ray level image capture capabilities, and with the attribute panel fed back by the light and shadow serpentine pattern, Cheng Tian finally discovered that the old face on this huge peach tree was almost exactly the same as the Earth God in the TV series.

"It feels like a Zuli beast or an ancient tree of war rising from the ground... I suspect it has the ability to eat trees to recover health."

Cheng compared this giant peach ancestor with the other two plant units in his mind and concluded that the peach ancestor was uglier.

No one knows what kind of misfortune befell the local earth god of the Peach Garden in this world, which ultimately transformed him into such a giant peach tree, but Cheng Tian does not believe that this earth god is an innocent being.

Looking across the entire peach orchard, this giant plant has the most humanoid figures hanging on its branches, and there are even quite a few that have already been refined and successfully transformed into "flat peaches".

The peach-like, alcoholic scent that I had smelled earlier, which smelled like rotting, fermenting fruit, was coming from these peaches.

This dark Heavenly Court has devoured people in such a creative way that I wonder if these peaches are some kind of fruit-flavored jerky.

"Keep dismantling! Leave no one alive! Melee tanks, hold the line and kite the Peach Ancestor! Other DPS should focus on the surrounding peach trees!"

Faced with the roar of the giant peach tree, Cheng Tian drew Wang Caili's Prince's Sword, activated the sword's aura and his own protective barrier, and issued precise commands.

Although this was Cheng Tian's first encounter with the BOSS in every sense, he was able to quickly catch a detail.

That's the question mark on the Earth God Peach Tree's blood volume, and the "three thousand six hundred trees" in its talent.

Cheng Tian still remembered this part quite clearly: there were a total of 3,600 peach trees in the entire Peach Garden, of which 1,200 were trees with small flowers and small fruits that ripened once every 3,000 years, 1,200 were trees with layered flowers and sweet fruits that ripened once every 6,000 years, and 1,200 were trees with purple-veined yellow kernels that ripened once every 9,000 years.

Since this land has become the Peach Ancestor, theoretically the connection between the entire Peach Garden and it may be closer than when it was just a simple land god. In other words, these three sizes of peach trees, totaling 3,600, are very likely external blood packs or reincarnation preparations for the Peach Ancestor.

Everyone was quite experienced at fighting bosses and light mobs. Some people subconsciously pulled out the F-type flamethrower from the Sun Legion's military supplies, but quickly realized that this thing was a technological item and not very useful. So they all pulled out the fire attribute hunter weapons they had exchanged for with military merits.

The ones that had the most fun cutting were the greatsword and the katana.

Believe it or not, almost every one of these people actually had a fire-attribute weapon on hand. It was probably because of the "Blazing Sun" prefix in the legion's name that many people would carry some fire-attribute weapons. Once a small group formed, it became a default tradition of the Blazing Sun Legion, and even new members would quickly follow suit and get one.

When these fire-attribute weapons clashed with the peach trees, which were a mixture of flesh and blood but essentially still wood-attribute, the sound effect of "outstanding effect" was produced. It can only be said that the players who could join the legion had already undergone screening; if they were truly the kind of people who didn't fit in, or even had a confrontational personality, they wouldn't have chosen to join the Blazing Sun Legion in the first place.

Of course, the peach trees were not to be trifled with. The peach materials that were originally hanging on almost every tree were released. The fine strips of paper embedded in people's heads acted like the strings on a puppet, precisely controlling these people who were either the living dead or suffering a fate worse than death.

These units were then collectively referred to as "Peach Slaves".

Somewhat counterintuitively, yet somewhat logically, among these Peach Slaves, the more complete and human-like their bodies are, the weaker they are. On the contrary, those Peach Slaves whose bodies have been forcibly shrunk to the size of dwarfs, gnomes, or halflings are generally a level stronger.

As regular enemies in an A-level dungeon, these Peach Slaves have at least one attribute exceeding 100, but they share almost the same weakness: they fear being controlled, which means the corresponding Peach Tree will be damaged.

Moreover, once the branches and roots connecting their brains to their heads are severed, the peach slaves that have been refined and parasitized will immediately lose control and fall to the ground like corpses, motionless.

However, Cheng Tian's order was that these peach slaves should also be eliminated, otherwise they might be reabsorbed by this peach orchard and then become new peach tree saplings.

Even if it is transformed into the Peach Ancestor, the Earth God is still the Earth God. Quickly growing saplings into peach trees is not a problem at all.

However, the group under the most pressure is the melee group led by Smart Head, who is mainly responsible for drawing Tao Zu's aggro.

As the individual with the most material on its branches, Peach Ancestor can control an unimaginable number of Peach Slaves, ranging from hundreds to thousands, which would normally be impossible to handle.

Moreover, because of his enormous size, every time Tao Zu moves around him and swings his cane, it poses a huge challenge to melee fighters.

But their crisis didn't last long, because Cheng's support arrived.

Using the Prince's Sword as the main material, the phantom flying swords that were constructed swept through the air and struck the peach trees of all sizes. Once the passive skill "Sword Sweep" was triggered, grass gods in groups of 20 units would spawn in large numbers and directly collide with the equally large number of peach slaves.

Cheng Tian's grass-root god units may not be very strong, but their 3 points of absolute health give them enough confidence to exchange blows with the Peach Slave, and they can still resist even the powerful stomp of the Peach Ancestor.

And so, the three thousand six hundred peach trees were visibly and rapidly cut in half, leaving corpses strewn across the field. The blood-soaked Earth God Peach Ancestor was finally left all alone. Blood was still flowing from the eyes on its trunk, but Cheng Tian knew that the blood flowing out was from the bodies of the refined peach slaves, not its own.

So, Cheng Tian, ​​who had been in control of the overall situation, took a step forward after the firefighter removed the protective barrier.

With each step he took, his size increased exponentially, eventually transforming him into a colossal monster nearly the same size as the Earth God, Peach Ancestor.

Behemoth, the embodiment of heaven and earth!
"Now! It's time for the giant monster battle!"

Standing up straight, Cheng began to summon meteorites from the otherworld.
