Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle.

Could it be that solidifying into stone is only the first stage, and there is a second stage of mutation?

After some thought, Jiu Zhiche set off again, and soon he arrived at a white multi-story building.

The green dot on the panel is right below this.

After finding the right spot, Jiuzhiche fixed his gaze on a tree.

The tree looked ordinary, no different from any other tree by the roadside, but it didn't escape Jiu Zhiche's eyes.

What he saw was the base of the tree, covered with countless roots of unpredictable length. Not far away was an earthbound being, whose roots were directly connected to the tree's roots.

Jiuzhiche smiled slightly. "So we've found the source."

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

A series of explosions came from the white building, and Jiuzhiche paused slightly.

He had good hearing, and the explosion wasn't quiet; what attracted him wasn't the sound, but the strange aura that permeated the air.

Not many, but very noticeable.

Before Jiu Zhiche could even go inside, he saw a group of people running out of the gate, surrounded by armed personnel, with several people in the middle who were clearly the leaders.

Jiuzhiche had met one of them twice.

Heihachiro Ikuma, he had seen him in Sadako's dream.

"Snap—"

The glass on the third floor of the building shattered instantly, and light brown roots gushed out, growing rapidly and attempting to sweep away the people escaping below.

The mayor had no time to regret his decision and fled in a sorry state under the protection of armed men.

Ikuma Heihachiro's eyes were bloodshot, and an expression of disbelief lingered for a long time.

The group of Earthbounders who were injected with the special agent just now all exploded. After they exploded, there was no flesh and blood, but only stone fragments and inexplicable tree roots. Those roots spread rapidly, trying to strangle them!

Even if it doesn't have much effect, how could it explode?

If only I had known... I should have tried her first.

Gunfire was dense and heavy, and spent bullet casings fell to the ground with a clatter, but it did nothing to stop the Roots' encirclement. Instead, they broke through their defenses and attacked the mayor and Ikuma Heihachiro directly.

Heihachiro Ikuma watched helplessly as the roots lunged at him; his stamina was not very good, and he had no time to dodge!

"Snapped!!!"

At the critical moment, a slap suddenly appeared and sent him flying several meters away.

Chapter 311 Honey Tree

"Pfft, hahaha!"

On the rooftop of a low building next to the white building, Black Sadako laughed so hard she almost fell over, wishing she could go over and bite Jiuzhi Che's neck.

I'm so happy!

I'm so happy!

Seeing that person suffer and be miserable makes me feel as good as if I'd eaten ice cream.

No, it's much more enjoyable than eating ice cream.

Sadako Kuroi enthusiastically took out her phone and started taking pictures.

Sadako shook her head slightly with a hint of helplessness. She... naturally couldn't feel any goodwill towards that person, and it would be difficult for her to actually watch him die.

In fact... death is not the only judgment outcome in the world.

Jiuzhi Che waved his hand, grabbing the incoming roots out of thin air and pulling them together. With a forceful pull, a large bunch of roots, along with pieces of stone, were yanked out, startling the armed personnel nearby who hurriedly dodged and were almost hit.

"You are......?"

The mayor was filled with doubt and uncertainty. "A great man hides in plain sight," he thought. "This is clearly a master, but for some reason, I can't make out what he looks like."

Jiuzhi Che's voice, processed with his mental powers, sounded completely different from his own tone to ordinary people. "Where did these things come from?"

The mayor hesitated. If he revealed the injection and it got out, his career would likely be ruined.

Seeing that the other party did not answer, Jiuzhiche was too lazy to pay attention to it. He casually squeezed and used his mental power to burst all the roots.

[Contact with the roots of the honey tree to gain 15% initial spirituality]

[Process the roots of the honey tree to gain 20% spirituality]

The template selection progress has reached 269%, and the available spirituality is 78%.

Very good, Jiuzhiche has basically confirmed that the strange creature causing trouble is called Honey Tree.

He took two steps forward, and after the person beneath him screamed, Jiu Zhiche's lips curled into a smile. He gathered his strength slightly, took a step, and jumped directly into the shattered window on the third floor.

Before Heihachiro Ikuma could even react to the slap, he was stomped on in the chest again, and immediately fainted from the pain.

The third floor was a mess, with many pebbles on the ground, and Jiu Zhiche also saw some syringes.

Were they being given medicine? As a result, these Earthbound Beings exploded, and the honey tree roots burst out of their bodies.

Inside some floors, there were more than a dozen beds, on which lay some Earthbound beings who had not yet fully solidified.

Jiuzhi Che raised an eyebrow; it seemed they were the link that had been abandoned.

Their feet were off the ground, but faint roots still connected their soles, invisible to ordinary people. Jiu Zhiche cleaned them all up in an instant.

The men, their faces ashen, stared wide-eyed in disbelief when they realized they could move again.

Jiuzhi Che lowered his head, sensing with his spiritual senses and using his demonic eyes to look. He saw countless roots on the ground rapidly retracting and gathering under the tree outside.

Since the Honey Tree Roots only came out and reunited after the Earthbounder exploded, and thus gained offensive power, what about the two green-eyed monsters we encountered earlier?

Will green eyes appear again?

The infection rate is faster than that of zombies.

Let's address the root cause first!

Jiuzhi Che flew out into the air. Yi Xiong Heihachiro and his group were gone, and the people in the building were also rushing out.

Upon arriving at the unremarkable tree, before Jiu Zhiche could even launch an attack, dozens of vines sprouted from the tree's body. Each vine was incredibly fast, whistling through the air as it darted past, demonstrating its immense power.

A golden Stand appeared, its hands moving so fast they became blurry, parrying most of the vines.

The oddities of this world really do favor soft, long, and easily restrained mutations.

It's either fleshy buds or tentacles, and there are also vines in front of me.

Combat skills combined with the speed of his leap allowed Jiuzhiche to easily dodge the vines, while simultaneously tearing them apart with his telekinesis.

Immediately afterwards, the tree shook violently, its entire root system rising from the ground, revealing its gnarled and twisted roots. Some roots, not even fully uprooted, continued to emerge.

Like a human, it stood up, its intertwined roots forming a net-like weapon. Anyone who was struck by it would feel a sharp pain, as well as a burning and numbing sensation.

Don't ask Jiuzhiche how he knew; he knew everything just from being touched.

There were so many roots, they were fast and powerful, and Jiuzhiche accidentally got brushed on the shoulder.

This thing also has hallucinogenic properties!

Jiuzhiche clearly saw the illusion brewing, and the next second, the illusion vanished.

His immune system is working, so he won't be hallucinating.

"Purify!"

The honey tree looked dejected for a moment, but quickly regained its vitality.

"Its power is inexhaustible!"

Therefore, maintaining a high standard of attack, Jiu Zhiche calmly observed and discovered that something was constantly being transmitted up from its roots that remained underground.

They are the earthbound ones!

It is using the Earthbound One to charge!

With this in mind, Jiuzhiche made a decisive move and used more mental energy to hollow out the area under the tree.

"Leap!"

While leaping, the Stand was still methodically dealing with the attacks from the roots!

Reaching the base of the tree, the skull sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed down fiercely.

Half of the roots were severed instantly, and the skull sword was indeed sharp. After absorbing skull fragments several times, it became even sharper than before.

All the leaves of the honey tree were shaking violently, as if they could not bear the pain.

The leaves rustled, and at a certain moment, they fell simultaneously, drawn by a force, hurtling towards Jiu Zhiche with speed and power far exceeding that of a bullet.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

However, it hit a spot two meters away from Jiuzhiche's body. He was protected by a psychic barrier, and the leaf bounced off it, creating waves of air.

When only half of the roots remain, the roots can't take it anymore and pull themselves out completely.

At the same time, Jiuzhiche smelled a sweet fragrance, a very fragrant and sweet scent. He remained unmoved and sneered, "Sorry, I'm immune!"

"Purify!"

The main purpose of cutting the roots is not to cause it to pull out all the roots, so that those roots are not still connected to the earthbound creatures. What if the honey tree dies and affects those earthbound creatures?

After using three purifications in a row, Jiu Zhiche's mental energy was depleted. It was being consumed too quickly, and the recovery couldn't keep up.

But it's alright, I can recover quickly in a few breaths, and besides, it's already coming to an end.

This enhanced version of purification was a gift from Jiuzhiche to the Honey Tree, both as a greeting and a farewell present.

Now, he wants to take back the gift.

The purification wasn't as effective on strange creatures as it was on demons, but after this purification, even the trunk of the Honey Tree shrank considerably, making it look like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

The golden Stand, with its power to uproot mountains, actually uses its Nen ability to lift the Honey Tree high, exposing its weak point at the bottom.

The skull sword pierced right through, and the system's crisp notification sound was exceptionally pleasant.
