Chapter 216: Nightmare Piranha, a Devastating Battle (6000)

Cao Xing looked at the direction where the militiamen left.

Liu Muxue also noticed his abnormality and asked softly, "Axing, what's wrong with you?"

Cao Xing calmed down his emotions, shook his head slowly and said, "It's nothing, let's move on."

Cao Xing didn't completely believe the story in the letter.

Only by actually going to [Vallis Village] can you know what really happened.

But now, he still has things to do.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided to wait and see.

There were no accidents on the rest of the journey.

After one hour.

Cao Xing and his men stopped.

In front of them, there appeared a huge and deep forest covered with ice and snow.

The Witchwood.

Compared to the last time he entered the Witch Forest, Cao Xing is only at level 10.

Their current improvement can be said to be a qualitative change.

The improvement in strength also made Cao Xing feel more confident.

If Cao Xing encounters that fourth-order leader-level black snake again this time, he will not let it escape.

They walked straight into the beautiful witch forest covered with frost.

Boom!dong dong!

Heavy footsteps came.

Baymax and Volibear led the way.

It is worth mentioning that Wally also used the [Intermediate Power Heart] last night and became a third-level creature.
It has now reached level 25.

As usual, I took a look at its properties.

[Cao Xing's pet: Volibear]

[Race: Beast]

[Level: Level 25 57516/200000 (Level Boss-level Creature)]

【Detailed properties: click to view】

...

"Not bad."

"Wally's health has now reached 30. At this rate, it will be easy to break through after level ."

"Complete the fourth stage of advancement, and the health will be at least 9!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt very satisfied.

Although Wally's health is slightly lower than Baymax's.

But its attack power is higher than that of Dabai.

With the blessing of [Blessing of Courage], the attack power is almost reaching three thousand!
Although Cao Xing would not compare the combat power of his pets.

But the two giant beasts really started fighting.

Baymax is indeed no match for Volibear.

"I don't know. If Baymax is defeated by Wally, will he feel frustrated?"

Cao Xing smiled and told people to move on.

Not long after entering the Witch Forest, they once again encountered a group of third-level ice crystal human-faced trees blocking their way.

The moment they saw the crowd, a large number of branches attacked them.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing was a little confused.

"Hmm? Why do I feel like these human-faced trees have an even stronger desire to attack than last time?"

But he didn't think much about it and directly ordered: "Go!"

After receiving the order, Assam and others, whose strength increased dramatically, rushed forward instantly!

“Sizzle…sizzle…”

The sound of electricity sounded.

Volibear stood up, condensed a ball of lightning power, and smashed it down fiercely.

"Boom!"

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

...

In an instant, horrific thunder-attribute damage appeared on the heads of the ice crystal human-faced trees.

This move is Volibear's range skill: Thunderbolt!

at the same time.

As Assam raised the King's Blade, a ball of light full of majesty condensed directly!

The next moment, a system prompt appears.

[Your territory member: Assam used the skill [Glory Praise], which has become permanent due to the influence of the talent [Eternal Power].]
At this moment, with the blessing of [Hymn of Glory], Assam's weapon radiates a strong light!
Just cut out one by one.

【-twenty four】
-
1307
【-twenty four】
-
1309
【-twenty four】
-
1387
...

Due to the effect of [Glory Tribute], all subsequent attacks will be accompanied by 50% light attribute attack.

So every time Assam's sword strikes, it will cause two damage numbers.

This is equivalent to nearly four thousand damage, which is enough to compete with Sarah in output!

Moreover, each of Assam's swords will add a negative status to the enemy, so the damage will become higher and higher.

After three or four sword strikes, these extremely powerful human-faced trees died on the spot.

[Your territory member: Assam killed the Ice Crystal Man-Faced Tree Guard lv27, a third-order elite creature, and gained experience value: 0]

[Combatants gain experience points: 675]

[Your...]

...

Sarah next to her was even more terrifying.

She is already at the fourth-order leader level.

It has an attack power of over 3700!
With the addition of [Blessing of Courage], the attack power officially exceeded 4600.

The silent blade in her hand left an afterimage and landed on these human-faced trees.

One terrifying injury number after another appeared.

【-twenty four】

【-6493! 】

【-8742! 】

The gift of liberation!

Critical hit rate above 40%, plus the [Grace of Liberation] skill.

So Sarah's attacks can easily cause high damage.

It only takes two or three seconds to knock down a third-level human-faced tree.

This is the real meaning of chopping melons and vegetables.

In addition, the third-level leaders nearby, such as Hilda, Isabel, Andrew, etc., were all launching terrifying attacks.

System prompts keep appearing.

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed the Ice Crystal Man-Faced Tree lv28, a third-order common creature, and gained experience points: 840]

[Combatants gain experience points: 420]

[Your territory member: Isabel Gospel killed the Ice Crystal Human-Faced Tree lv27, a third-level ordinary creature, and gained experience value: 0]

[Combatants gain experience points: 405]

【your……】

...

It only takes less than a minute.

They killed this group of ice crystal human-faced trees with a minimum level of 25.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue sat on the mammoth's back without even moving.

This is truly overwhelming combat power.

After a while, when they finished cleaning the battlefield, Cao Xing went straight down and picked up all the things on the ground.

[Obtain: Ice Crystal Human Face Tree Heart (Green) *21]

[Obtain: Ice Crystal Human-faced Tree Heart (Blue)*2]

[Obtain: Intermediate Power Heart*4]

[Obtain: Tree sap (green)*114]

[Obtain: Medium-quality sap (blue) * 8]

[Obtain: Ancient human-faced tree bark (green) * 16]

[Obtain: Human-faced tree bark (blue) *2]

[Obtain: Intermediate Element Crystal*15]

[Obtain: Intermediate attribute books (strength, agility, spirit, constitution) * 17 books]

...

A large pile of materials, including two blue-grade human-faced tree hearts.

Big White and Volibear have already eaten this level of Man-Faced Tree Heart three times, so it has no effect on them.

Only by finding the heart of a human-faced tree at the leader level or above can it continue to grow.

Then he gathered up the vines on the ground.

Continue to move forward with everyone.

This time, Cao Xing decided to go directly into the Witch Forest and deal with those high-level monsters.

See if you can get a few high-level power hearts.

So he didn't stay in the outer area for long, but went deeper.

More than an hour later.

They have already penetrated nearly thirty kilometers into the [Witch Forest].

This has exceeded the depth of Cao Xing's last exploration.

During this period, they encountered several battles, but they were all easily resolved by Cao Xing's men.

As you go deeper, the levels of the monsters inside become higher and higher.

Moreover, Cao Xing also discovered that the plants here were becoming increasingly robust.

Giant trees over 100 meters tall can be seen everywhere.

The dense branches and leaves almost blocked all the light above, and only some sporadic rays of light fell down.

Make the whole forest look dark and cold...

If an ordinary person came in here, he would probably be scared to death!
But fortunately, they are all third-level beings with very strong eyesight, so it doesn't have much impact.

Cao Xing raised his head and glanced at the sky above him, then exclaimed: "Tsk tsk, I really don't know how these trees can grow so tall in such a harsh environment."

Andrew chuckled and said, "Nature is very magical, my lord."

“Some plants are naturally adapted to cold weather and produce amazing fruit.”

"Besides, in this forest where no one has set foot for many years, you might come across some magical plants."

Cao Xing was delighted and asked, "Oh? Is it a magical plant?"

Andrew nodded.

Hearing this, Cao Xing also became interested.

Before he could speak.

Renis suddenly said: "My Lord, there is something going on ahead!"

Hearing this, everyone instantly became alert and looked in the direction.

They saw some strange plants appearing under several big trees in front of them.

It seemed to be a strange kind of flower, which was unusually tall.

Each tree is more than one meter tall.

At present, all of them are in a budding state and look like standing white vases.

Looking around, the whole area is full of these flowers, at least forty or fifty of them.

Assam drew out his sword directly.

Andrew next to him also said: "There is an evil aura about these plants."

Hearing this, Cao Xing naturally realized that there was something wrong with these flowers.

So he said directly: "Renisse, Elisa, shoot an arrow and see."

After receiving Cao Xing's order, the two archers pulled the bowstrings at the same time.

Crunch!Crunch!
They pulled the bowstring into a full moon shape.

The next moment, a gust of wind arrow and an arrow containing coldness shot out instantly.

"Huh! Huh!"

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

Elisa's damage is lower than Renis's.

But this is normal.

This also shows that there is indeed something wrong with these flowers.

Following the two's attack movements.

Everyone saw that the dozens of huge flowers in front of them all began to rotate slowly.

Like a whirlpool.

Their petals gradually unfold.

However, it is different from the white petals.

When the petals were fully opened, everyone saw that the color of the petals inside was black and purple!

It is covered with spikes and looks like a monster's teeth!
Not only that, in the center of the petals, there is a purple tentacle that dances in the air like a monster's tongue.

Just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that these flowers are not good people!
Cao Xing quickly looked over.

【Talent ①: Root Absorption】

【Talent ②: Giant Plants】

...

Seeing the properties of these carnivorous plants, Cao Xing's eyes fixed, and then a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"Another creature infected by the aura of darkness?"

"The wild boar and the black snake before both became violent because they were contaminated by the aura of darkness."

“So are these Piranhas.”

"What exactly is the dark aura?"

While he was thinking about this, the carnivorous plant in front of him had already attacked everyone.

I saw their petals suddenly shrink.

The next moment, a sharp spike as thick as a thumb shot out instantly!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A cracking sound was heard.

Cao Xing decided to ignore all this and kill the enemy in front of him first.

So he gave the order directly: "Go, kill these carnivorous plants."

"Bron, block their attacks!"

After receiving Cao Xing's order.

Braum took the lead and rushed out with his shield raised.

In an instant, more than a dozen [Nightmare Stamens] shot towards Braum like tongues.

"Puff puff!"

The holy shield on his body was broken layer by layer.

The remaining attacks all fell on Braum's giant shield.

Bang! Bang bang bang!
【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

A dozen damage numbers appeared.

In one encounter, Braum's health was reduced by more than 10,000.

However, compared to his 40,000 health points, he is still in a healthy state.

Bron laughed, "Haha, it's my turn now!"

Then, he suddenly jumped directly in front of the group of carnivorous plants.

Ice bloodline stimulated!
Frost Shield Erupts!

The source of extreme ice erupts!

Triple cold air erupted at the same time!

"Crack!"

Visible frost froze the surrounding air.

With Bron as the center, a cloud of white fog appeared in the area within a radius of ten meters.

More than a dozen carnivorous plants were frozen in place on the spot!
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing exclaimed: "Not bad, not bad. Combining different skills can produce even more powerful effects."

"These dozen or so Piranhas have all entered a five-second deep freeze state!"

You know, Braum is only a third-level boss now, and he can control so many fourth-level creatures at the same time for such a long time.

It can be said to be very powerful.

The next moment, more Piranhas attacked Braum.

However, at this time, Assam had already wielded the sword of justice and rushed forward!

"Swish! Swish swish!"

Four swords swept across.

A whole bunch of damage numbers appear.

Not only that, all the targets hit by Assam fell into various states such as reduced armor, reduced attack speed, and reduced attack power.

The threat is greatly reduced!

At the same time, everyone else launched various attacks.

Bang!Bang bang!

Under the concentrated fire of Isabel and Sarah, one of the carnivorous plants died on the spot.

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed Nightmare Piranha lv34, a fourth-order common creature, and gained experience points: 1360]

[Combatants gain experience points: 680]

...

at the same time.

Others also began to launch various powerful attacks, and the carnivorous plants died one after another.

Even though the levels of these carnivorous plants are higher than theirs, their numbers are also greater than Cao Xing's.

But Cao Xing still quickly gained the upper hand.

At this moment, in the central area of ​​this carnivorous plant.

It has a giant carnivorous plant with broad petals, thick roots and a height of two meters!
It’s the leader of the carnivorous plant!
It seemed to sense the threat and its petals suddenly closed.

A black gas was gradually released from its body.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing realized that it might be using some trick.

So Cao Xing immediately ordered: "Jonald, use the Ice Dragon Spear to interrupt it."

After receiving Cao Xing's order, Jonard instantly grasped the spear tightly!
A terrifying dragon aura suddenly rose from him!

"drink!"

With a loud shout, Jonard pointed his spear!
this moment.

A huge icicle nearly 4 meters thick and 65 meters long suddenly erupted!
"Boom!"

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

...

In an instant, more than a dozen damage numbers as high as five thousand appeared!

All the Piranha Plants along the way, including the leader Piranha Plant in the middle, were frozen into ice sculptures!
The opponent's attack was also directly interrupted.

"Yes, the skill of Dragon Blood Extraction greatly increases the lethality of the Dragon Blood Warrior!"

“I wonder how powerful the dragonblood warriors at the leader level or even the commander level are!”

Cao Xing thought with great anticipation, and even couldn't wait to win the reward for being number one on the list.

As the battle progressed, the number of piranha plants gradually decreased.

This group of fourth-level carnivorous plants is enough to easily destroy a survivor camp of hundreds of people.

However, it posed no threat to Cao Xing.

He didn't even use his full strength.

The strongest ones among them, Sarah, Isabel, Hilda and others, were just standing by and watching.

Cao Xing originally wanted to raise his staff to make another finishing move.

At this time, he saw Tong Chuchu next to him, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Then he said, "Chu Chu, summon the pursuit robot and the self-destruct robot to come out and see."

"And your Corona, summon him out as well."

Tong Chuchu held the pistol tightly in her hand, then nodded and said, "Okay...Okay."

"But big brother, summoning a self-destruct robot requires 20 iron, 5 copper, and 1 primary element crystal...

"The pursuit robot requires 50 iron, 20 copper, and 3 primary element crystals..."

Hearing this, Cao Xing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, just use it."

After that, Cao Xing traded her 2000 pieces of iron, 1000 pieces of copper, and 200 primary element crystals.

Cao Xing has no shortage of these basic resources.

Tong Chuchu also took it happily.

Then, under Cao Xing's gaze.

Tong Chuchu consumed some of her mechanical strength and materials.

A robot about one and a half meters tall and made entirely of iron sheets quickly took shape.

The robot's left hand is a pair of pliers that can be used to grab enemies.

The right hand is a chainsaw, which can use the [Thermal Cutting] skill.

Coupled with its blue pupils and the [thermal tracking] function, it is quite versatile.

This is [Mark Chaser].

Inherited 120% of Tong Chuchu's attributes and can only last for five minutes.

Cao Xing waited for a moment, but did not hear any hint about [Eternal Power].

It seems that these robots cannot exist forever.

But when you think about it, it's normal.

After all, robots are also summoned creatures.

It is the same as [Summon Horned Eagle] and [Summon Frost Spirit].

Then, Tong Chuchu summoned two improved self-destruct robots that were about 80 cm tall and shaped like iron boxes.

Following Tong Chuchu's instructions, the three robots and the Corona floating in the air rushed up together.

Corona is more like a floating iron ball.

Energy shells continuously erupted from its round holes, causing energy damage to the carnivorous plants.

"Puff puff!"

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

The damage is not high, which is also related to the low quality of Tong Chuchu's equipment.

However, the two self-destruct robots rushed into the group of carnivorous plants and exploded.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and a terrifying heat wave instantly dispersed the surrounding cold!

At least a dozen injury numbers appeared.

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

...

Seeing this damage number, Cao Xing's face showed admiration.

"This damage is pretty good. If I change Chuchu's equipment to better ones later, the damage will be even better!"

Moreover, the cooling time of the self-destruct robot is not long, and two can be summoned at a time.

It is one of the main output skills of the Mechanic besides [Mark Chaser] and [Corona].

Of course, a lot of materials are consumed.

Two explosions destroyed 40 pieces of iron, 10 pieces of copper, and 2 elemental crystals.

Ordinary survivors simply cannot afford this kind of consumption.

at the same time.

After being besieged by the crowd, the number of the carnivorous plants became smaller and smaller.

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed Nightmare Piranha lv32, fourth-order common creature: Experience points gained: 1280]

[Combatants gain experience points: 640]

[Your territory member: Isabel Gospel killed the Nightmare Piranha lv34, a fourth-order ordinary creature: Experience Points Gained: 0]

[Combatants gain experience points: 680]

...

In less than two minutes, only the last boss-level Piranha Plant was still resisting stubbornly.

However, as Blott's [Black Smoke Shock] fell.

Bang!
【-twenty four】

The health points of this boss-level Piranha plant were reduced to zero, and it fell down.

……
