Lin Shuangshuang was very clever. Her goal was not to kill the mutated kapok tree directly, as she couldn't do it alone. Therefore, her attack was purely a test, mainly to find out how many skills it had.

The reinforced steel pipe has the required hardness and will not break no matter how you hit it.

Lin Shuangshuang brandished the steel pipe, relentlessly attacking the tree trunk and the branches that came toward her. She was very fast, and her opponent could not catch up with her.

Upon sensing danger, the mutated kapok tree indeed began to use its abilities.

Its canopy, like a giant funnel, begins to actively collect and store acid rain, and accelerates the collection process. The cavities on the tree trunk undulate like breathing, constantly oozing strong acid liquid.

This resulted in a situation where it was drizzling outside, but the entire battlefield under the tree canopy was experiencing a downpour. The acid rain concentration inside the trees was even stronger, causing slow and continuous corrosion to everyone's weapons and skin.

However, the five of them had protective suits, so it still didn't affect them.

The mutated kapok quickly activated its second skill: Acidic Capsule Bomb.

This is the name Lin Shuangshuang gave it. On the trunk of the mutated cotton tree, huge capsules filled with acid suddenly condensed at the tips of its thorns.

It launched these capsules at enemies invading its territory like a catapult.

They launched a relentless and fierce attack.

Fortunately, it hasn't become sentient yet, so it doesn't actively lock onto targets and just throws things randomly.

If it were a precision strike, that would be the end of it.

At this time, they were standing very far apart.

They can only hide on their own.

Gao Lei used his petrification skill to petrify the flying capsule, causing it to fall to the ground. Unfortunately, due to the limitation of his ability level, his petrification range was only within one meter, so he couldn't help others.

However, he was protecting Lorna well. Lorna kept exclaiming, "Holy crap, this tree is insane! How come all its attacks are so wild?"

Gao Lei also felt that, "If someone were hit by this, it would feel like it could melt them instantly."

This is true.

Upon impact, the capsule explodes, spraying highly concentrated acid in all directions, causing widespread corrosive damage and creating a small, persistent pool of acid on the ground. Stepping on it...

The consequences could be disastrous.

Rona was terrified. "A mutated tree of three stars, could it really have such a powerful attack capability?"

so horrible.

Her face was solemn.

Huo Ling is cooperating with Wu Zhe to help cover Lin Shuangshuang's continued attack on the mutated kapok tree, preparing to force out all its killer moves.

The first two skills failed to drive away the intruder, and the mutated kapok tree became enraged.

It mixes cotton wool with acid and then sprays out highly sticky fibrous material. This fibrous material covers the ground like a spider web or is shot directly at the target. Targets that are directly hit will be tightly entangled and unable to move.

The mutated grass covering the ground reveals that this fibrous substance also has corrosive properties; it will continuously corrode the target until the target melts.

How terrifying.

After the mutated kapok tree's abilities were all forced out, they felt more confident.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

Now that we have mastered the target's skills, we can begin our counterattack.

Huo Ling's mental power firmly memorized all the skills of the mutated kapok tree, and he quickly analyzed how to counter them, as well as its weaknesses.

"Keep your positions spread out and don't stay close together. Its bark is very tough. Lin Shuangshuang has been attacking it for so long but still can't break through its bark, which proves that its weakness is not on the surface, but inside."

Upon hearing Huo Ling's analysis, Lin Shuangshuang immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Those tumor-like openings!"

Those tiny, densely packed holes on the tree trunk must be very deep to store acid rain!

Huo Ling nodded, "That's right. Focus your attacks on those oozing acid-filled cavities and wounds; those are its energy storage points, and likely its weak points!"

He never doubted her intelligence, because Lin Shuangshuang was truly smart.

"Xiao Zhe and Lin Shuangshuang, you two continue to disrupt and draw fire. Gao Lei, protect Luo Na. Luo Na, your fire counters wood. You just need to lock onto the tumor hole and ensure high-intensity output. I'll handle the dense fog."

Huo Ling quickly arranged the tactics, and everyone immediately began to execute them.

Before setting off, Lin Shuangshuang glanced back at him. Although he was still relatively inexperienced, as an ordinary person, he was already quite remarkable on the ninth day of the apocalypse. He was like a sapling that still needed watering.

It will grow into a towering tree sooner or later.

She grinned, then turned and plunged into a new round of battle.

Huo Ling's special ability may not have the obvious offensive power of others, but he is able to gain so many teammates, which means he has his own skills.

He said he could handle the dense fog, and his teammates weren't worried at all.

Lin Shuangshuang was also curious about how he would solve this problem, since the acid fog was getting thicker and thicker, visibility was getting lower and lower, and there was no wind today.

Huo Ling naturally had his own methods. He controlled a wind-type mutated bird to come in from outside, although it was only a one-star mutated animal.

But the most basic skill is enough, which is to summon wind. He directly invades its mental world, controls its body, and stirs up a gale.

Lin Shuangshuang was startled for a second!

Luo Na, Gao Lei, and Wu Zhe burst out laughing. "Holy crap!! You really lived up to your reputation!!" "Brother Huo, you're amazing!!" "How did you find it? Now we can definitely get it!"

With a final laugh, the battle immediately turned into a one-sided affair.

The acid mist is gone.

They faced no obstacles in the fight and could focus solely on the battle.

Lin Shuangshuang and Wu Zhe worked together to continue drawing the fire of the mutated kapok trees, allowing them to attack them at will and buying time for their teammates.

Gao Lei focused on protecting Luo Na, intercepting all the flying fruit and fluffy particles.

More than a dozen fireballs appeared out of thin air. With a wave of her hand, Rona sent them straight towards the mutated kapok tree's burrow, entering it with pinpoint accuracy.

The trunk of the mutated kapok tree began to hiss and tremble.

A loud clattering sound.

The battle was over in less than half an hour; the flames had burned the entire tree to charcoal.

Exhausted, Luo Na sat down with a thud. Gao Lei wanted to help her up, but he had also exhausted his powers and was so weak that she knocked him over, and the two of them collided.

Luckily, I was sitting on the petrified ground, where there was no acid, otherwise my butt would have melted.

Wu Zhe's legs trembled with exhaustion. "We actually won?! And with zero casualties!"

Lorna wanted to laugh, but she was too tired to even smile. "Oh my god, this was so much fun! This is the first time I've ever felt so relaxed, I could just keep hitting."

We really appreciate Gao Lei's protection!

Gao Lei also found this kind of team battle very easy. He only needed to protect Luo Na, and everyone did their job, making the damage output more consistent.

Wu Zhe walked over to Luo Na and Gao Lei, and collapsed next to them. "I can't go on, I need to rest. Even though we won, I'm so tired. I still can't believe we actually won!"

Huo Ling walked over and said, "It's not surprising, because it hasn't reached four stars yet."
