Chapter 252 Watch Your Step!
Boom——!
Accompanied by a deafening explosion, brilliant flames shot up into the sky.
The fireball transformed by Song Chen instantly engulfed the mutant willow and the surrounding branches.
As Ji Yumo's strongest killer move, the lethality of this attack is naturally beyond doubt. Coupled with the absolute attribute restraint of flames on plants, even if the mutant willow has reached level six, it feels very painful.
Countless branches danced wildly in the flames, and Song Chen even seemed to hear the mutant willow screaming in pain in the flames.
The mutant willow controlled the branches to protect the trunk, but the power of the flames was stronger, and it easily burned the blocking branches into ashes, and even continued to burn upwards along the branches, as if it was bound to burn the entire trunk clean.
Song Chen looked at the mutant willow struggling in the flames, and suddenly found something similar to the mutant core exposed in the middle of the bottom of the trunk.
Mutated plants are difficult to kill.
Before the outbreak of the apocalypse, the lifeblood of plants is the rhizome.
But after the outbreak of the apocalypse, plants will produce new "roots" after mutation, which Song Chen calls the mutation core.
The strong vitality of plants makes it difficult to kill them completely, but if the mutation core can be directly eliminated, even the most powerful mutant plants will wither and die instantly.
Originally, Song Chen did not want to fight, and for the sake of safety, he threw a fireball at the mutant willow tree and prepared to take this opportunity to leave.
But now that the mutation core has been discovered, how can such a good opportunity be wasted?
With almost no hesitation, Song Chen immediately rushed into the flames and rushed towards the mutation core hidden in the tree trunk.
The crystal core of the mutant plant is hidden in the mutation core.
As long as the mutation core is dug open, the sixth-level crystal core inside can be obtained.
Song Chen's right hand flashed, and the broken blade quickly condensed, emitting a series of subtle buzzing sounds.
Just as Song Chen used the instant step to come to the mutation core and was about to chop it down, the whole earth suddenly trembled violently.
! ! !
"What happened?"
Even Yang Lin and others who had already run far away felt the constant vibrations coming from their feet. They subconsciously turned back to look in the direction of the mutant willow tree, but they could not find Song Chen at all. They could only see the flames burning like a sky-high fire.
"Song Chen burned that tree?!"
Before everyone recovered from the shock, the ground under their feet suddenly began to break, and countless branches emerged from the cracks in the ground like tentacles.
"Be careful of your feet!"
Yang Lin took the lead in reacting, carrying He Chengji on his back and quickly dodging the branches that kept coming out from his feet.
These branches tried to entangle them and take them underground.
It was just that because the mutant willow tree was burning, the speed of these branches was not as fast as before, and everyone's reaction was not slow, so they were able to avoid the attack of these branches.
At the same time.
Song Chen, who was in the flames, was also attacked by countless branches.
The mutant willow tree seemed to be completely irritated by Song Chen, and it directed the branches to attack Song Chen regardless of anything.
Facing the attack of these branches, Song Chen remained calm and instantly condensed the time power to attach to himself. With the blessing of time acceleration, the broken blade in his hand condensed instantly and chopped the mutant core fiercely.
In front of the broken blade that ignored defense, the mutant core of the willow tree was as fragile as tofu and was easily split in half.
As soon as Song Chen cut open the mutant core and dug out the crystal core inside, there were loud noises of heavy objects hitting the ground around him.
"Oops!"
The crystal core was dug out and the mutant willow tree died completely.
The branches that originally covered the top of Song Chen's head began to fall and hit the ground fiercely.
And those mutant creatures tied to the branches also lost their support and fell down. A few of them who were not dead yet struggled to stand up from the ground and attacked Song Chen instinctively, but were then smashed into meat patties by the branches falling from above.
Looking at the pools of freshly baked meat paste on the ground, Song Chen did not dare to delay and immediately used the instant step to escape.
But before he could run far, the dead tree next to him stretched out its dry branches towards him.
? !
Song Chen was shocked.
Aren't these dead trees already dead?
Why did they suddenly attack him?
Questions kept popping up in his mind, but Song Chen's feet did not stop at all. It didn't take long for him to catch up with the others who were dodging the attacks from all around and quickly fleeing out of the woods.
"Brother Chen!"
Chang Minghao was delighted to see Song Chen running back intact.
Others turned their heads to look over when they heard the sound. Seeing that Song Chen had no wounds on his body, their worried hearts gradually relaxed.
"What's going on?" Song Chen asked, "I have killed the mutant willow tree and even dug out the crystal core. It is impossible for it to command these trees. How could these dead trees that should have been dead long ago suddenly take action?"
