Chapter 794: Flowering and Fruiting
Not all dark-activated plants have undergone this kind of evolutionary mutation. More importantly, they simply cannot support the infusion of such powerful and crazy power, and they are swelling and expanding. , exploded with a bang, blood-red energy mixed with black energy splashing everywhere.
But the weird giant tree didn't give him such a chance at all, and the original injection turned into absorption.
Whether it was the bloody energy he had just injected, or the original black energy of the exploded dark activated plant, all of them were absorbed by him, becoming the foundation for its continued spread and growth.
It’s not just the roots of the weird giant tree that are growing crazily. The growth rate of its main stem is only too strong.
The strange giant tree was originally just bloated, several times as thick as an ordinary tree, like a fat man with a big belly. Its height is not too amazing, and the crown of the tree is only about 40 meters. In an ancient forest, it is definitely not tall. Not an astonishing existence.
Now, in just ten minutes, he expanded nearly three times and exceeded one hundred meters.
It is not simply stretched, the thickness is also proportionally enlarged. The fleshy blood vessels drilled out of it are more numerous and thicker, making it more ferocious and weird.
It now has all the characteristics of the evolved dark activated plants.
The whole body is covered with bloody thorns and thorns, dripping with sweet and fishy sap, but they are all giant versions. The ones on those small activated plants are at best sharp cones, and everything on it is It's a siege crossbow.
The vines hanging from its body have also turned into blood, and the ends are also full of fangs and huge mouths, just like the thorns of thorns. Because the size is not of the same level at all, every vine is a dancing super python, just like The kind that even a troll could swallow in one gulp.
The most unique thing about the strange giant tree is the huge gourd-shaped fruits. Their number and size are three times the original, and they are no longer purple, but have turned into blood red. .
Bang!
A bloody gourd-shaped fruit fell from a strange giant tree.
It was like a giant cannonball, directly hitting a shallow pit on the ground, and the bloody gourd-shaped fruit was also smashed and cracked on the spot.
If a normal person were present and saw the situation clearly, the whole person would definitely become a little bad.
Because what is wrapped in this bloody gourd-shaped fruit is not a tree seed, but a huge humanoid monster. It is between flesh and plant and is wrapped in layers of wooden structures and vines. Connected, there seems to be tissue similar to flesh and blood hidden inside.
When it stood up staggeringly, it looked like a burly giant orc, at least four meters tall. From top to bottom, it smelled of stoutness, thick and strong, even if it was a plant. The appearance is similar to muscle lumps. The forearms and upper arms, thighs and calves are almost the same thickness, and the lumps are uneven. The hands made of vines are as flexible as human beings, and the ends are also secreting secretions. A venom-like substance.
The head is more like an ape than a human, with complete facial features, but whether it is useful or not is hard to say, because both the mouth, nose and ears are all made of wood.
The first bloody gourd-shaped fruit fell to the ground, like a signal.
With the sway of the strange giant tree, all the remaining bloody gourd-shaped fruits on his body fell to the ground. With a loud bang, the bloody demon tree people who were no different from the first one climbed out of it. There were as many as sixty in number.
These bloody demon tree men seemed to have received some kind of order. After adapting for a while, they began to move forward in all directions.
At first, it was just a slow and wobbly walk, then it turned into a steady and fast walk, and finally it was a long and fast run. Even in the dense forest, it was rampant, and soon arrived at the Corrupted Forest After pausing for a moment on the edge of the clearing, they plunged into the densest woods nearby. They dug wildly into the clearing. In just a few minutes, they dug out a shallow pit and buried their feet. Got into it.
Countless tree roots began to grow from their feet, the hands raised high turned into new branches, countless thorn branches stretched out, and the bloody vines began to separate from the body.
These bloody demonic trees suddenly turned into demonic trees that were 50% similar to the original appearance of the strange giant trees.
This is just the beginning.
When these bloody demon tree people set out, the demon tree mother tree branched out a bloody tree root and followed them closely. When they entered the rooted state and transformed into new demon trees, these The blood-colored tree roots immediately wrapped and entangled it like the previous dark-activated plants, continuously injecting excess killing power into it.
Yamen Khan is like a vast ocean. The killing power flowing from his body is endless. Even if the Demonic Mother Tree tries its best to divert the flow, there is no sign of complete digestion. It can only be through the process of giving birth to new offspring. way to reduce stress.
With the injection of a large amount of killing power, the newly born magic trees began to grow crazily, super large, giant, super giant... Soon they turned into what the mother tree was when the killing power was not injected into it. appearance.
They did not continue to grow, but gave birth to new Demonic Tree Fruits on themselves. Compared to the giant fruits on the Demonic Tree mother tree, the fruits on them were obviously much smaller. When it landed, the purple and red demonic tree man who climbed out was only a little over 1.5 meters tall and looked like a tall, stout dwarf.
The number is not as large as that produced by the mother tree of the Demonic Tree, only about twenty.
However, the mother tree of the Demonic Tree had already produced enough fruits. With sixty Demonic Trees bearing fruit at the same time, the number of Demonic Treemen hatched at once was quite astonishing, directly exceeding a thousand. number.
These demon tree people matured and landed almost at the same time, and they poured into the surrounding forests in groups.
Suddenly, the entire forest was in a state of panic, and all birds and animals were running away from the magic tree.
Soon the demon tree people ran back from the forest, without exception, more or less carrying prey in their hands.
Before they could get close, the vines on the demonic trees eagerly hung down, pulling the prey directly into the tree's big mouth.
Although these large mouths are filled with thorns that look like teeth, they are obviously not used to chew food, but to pierce the prey to prevent them from escaping when necessary.
The food sent by these demon tree people has either been paralyzed by poison attacks or has died. There is no need to worry about this at all, so it is swallowed directly into the body.
As a large number of prey were eaten, thick black mist floated out from these magic trees, and the surrounding forest began to twist at a speed visible to the naked eye. The trees became twisted and weird, began to wither, and were replaced by, They are clumps of thorn bushes, countless vines and weeds like dead branches, growing out of those withered trees as nutrients.
When they grew to a certain level, these weird-looking monsters all moved their bodies, pulled out their roots unsteadily, and turned into a group of new dark-activated plants.
Since Fanfan entered the active state, these dark-activated plants have followed closely behind the demon tree people and started hunting, bringing more plants to the demon tree to feed him.
With more blood food, these magic trees can corrupt the forest in a larger area and create more dark-activated plants. Part of the blood food nutrients are passed through the thick and long roots of the magic tree mother tree. The incredible tree roots absorbed it continuously, and its originally empty crown began to bear fruit again.
It’s just that compared to the previous ones visible to the naked eye, the results this time are obviously much slower. Even the killing power is not omnipotent. It can only be generated when the opponent has a certain foundation.
If the mother tree of the Demonic Tree wants to produce new fruits, it must be fed with a large amount of blood food.
Even so, the development speed of the Demon Tree Mother Tree has been terrifying and astonishing. Yamen Khan’s killing power has saved her at least decades of time - this is the time when those Demon Tree people have grown into Demon Trees. the time required.
At this time, Yamen Khan's infusion of killing power was coming to an end.
Using infusion to describe it is actually not completely accurate. A more accurate adjective would be tempering.
The divine power of killing does not come in and out. If that were the case, Yamen Khan would have been squeezed out long ago and would not be able to sustain it until now. He is not really a vast ocean with so much killing power. Divine power.
In fact, the killing power in him is in the Demonic Mother Tree, and it is in and out of nature.
Most of the dregs carried in the divine power of killing, especially those souls filled with endless resentment, were devoured by the Demonic Mother Tree and turned into nutrients for their own growth.
The purest part was taken back by Yamen Khan. At this moment, Yamen Khan was no longer as demonic as when he first arrived. He looked like he would lose control and go berserk at any time. His eyes were clear again, and the blood mist condensed directly on his body into a pair of blood-colored armor. It appears to be extremely powerful.
This was purely an unexpected bonus.
Yamen Khan did not expect that in the process of uprooting and strengthening the mother tree of the magic tree, he would actually effectively alleviate his symptoms of losing control.
Although this is in exchange for weakening part of his own strength, it is still worth it. After all, he is only interested in becoming the God of Slaughter, and is not interested in becoming a tool for the rebirth of the former God of Slaughter Baal.
"Thank you for the sacred power given by the master. I will definitely live up to the master's expectations. I will turn the entire giant valley upside down, poison all the forests and water sources here, and kill all the creatures here." The Demonic Mother Tree pointed at Yamenko Khan said loudly.
The words are full of strong confidence and excitement.
The killing power and its own characteristics are simply a perfect combination.
As long as he gives himself a day and a half, he can organize an army of tens of thousands of dark activated plants.
Even without the order of Yamen Khan, he will attack cities and seize territory, because those highly populated places are the best sources of blood food. Compared with these forest creatures, those intelligent humans Human creatures are the favorites of their magic tree. The same soul's corruption area and effect are ten times that of ordinary creatures.
"This is just the beginning." Yamen Khan was very satisfied with his masterpiece this time. "As long as you can cooperate well and let my army advance westward, all the corpses along the way will belong to you."
"If this is the case, I will organize a new army for the master to serve as your vanguard and help you regain the killing priesthood and regain the throne." The Demonic Mother Tree promised impassionedly.
He has now become a loyal follower of Yamen Khan, hoping that his army can completely defeat the Leathermen and kill them across Lake Asen, because this is completely in line with his interests.
"Everything starts with the destruction of the city of Uxmail. I will completely cut off all supplies of the Leathermen." Yamen Khan reiterated his order.
Although he has sent a powerful Tukan Eagle Knights, they are too weak and the Leathermen will not just sit idly by. He also needs the assistance of a ground force.
Rather than sending an elite force of Tukan over at a high cost, he chose a more convenient method, which was to use the influence of the God of Murder to attract the local evil forces in the giant valley to join his ranks.
Yamen Khan was able to unite the Tukan people in the endless wilderness, and even broke through the Xianglong Great Wall many times to harass the territory of the Xianglong Empire. He relied on more than just his huge military strength and the extraordinary power brought by the fragments of the killing godhead. The otherworldly power is also because he is also familiar with the Xianglong Empire's military books and is proficient in various strategies and tactics.
Compared with harassing the grain transport team on the Jugu Hongdao, the plan he formulated was more far-sighted, preparing to once and for all solve the possibility of the Leatherman Kingdom obtaining various support supplies from the direction of the Juguhongdao.
Among them, Usmail City, the only port city in the Great Valley, is the key. As long as it is destroyed and controlled, it will be difficult for shipping to start from here.
When the Demonic Mother Tree grows to a certain level, it can even launch a surprise attack from behind to contain part of the Leatherman Kingdom's troops when Tukan's army is preparing to launch a cross-lake operation.
"As you wish." The mother tree of the demon tree responded loudly.
As its telepathy spread, the magic trees that were originally rooted in the east and south all staggered up from the ground.
With their own demon tree men, they launched an attack towards the northwest. Wherever they passed, the forest decay rate was not as fast as before, but it was still quite alarming, especially when they had a large amount of blood food. With the supplement, an army of withered demon trees soon gathered together and marched towards the city of Usmail in a mighty manner.
“You have three days to prepare for the march. After three days, I will launch a feint attack at Asen Lake to contain the main force of the Leatherman Kingdom for you, so that they cannot divide their troops to assist Usmer City. "After Yamen Khan said a word, he left his Eagle Knight guard behind, his whole body flashed, and returned to Tukan's army.
In this kind of all-out war, you must not move one point alone. If you want to move, you must move the entire area together.
At that time, not only Tukan's army will launch a large-scale feint attack, but his other allies, the bald mages, should also take action to stick to the enemies in the direction of the Kingdom of Sesk.
The art of war is invisible.
Any feint attack must be treated with caution, because once the enemy senses weakness, the enemy will inevitably turn the lie into reality and launch a full-scale attack.
......
"What on earth do these damn flies want to do? Attack but not attack, retreat but not retreat. They keep wandering around above our heads, let alone Food cannot be transported to the front line, and our lives have become a problem.”
"This is exactly what they want, to paralyze the operation of our entire city with only a very small amount of air force."
"If things go on like this in the long run, there is no way. Isn't there a way to knock them all down? , or drive away ”
“ I'm afraid it will be difficult. This group of Tukan Eagle Knights is very cunning, and they are always outside the attack range of the city defense ballistae. Moreover, there are obviously more than one wave of Tukan Eagle Knights, and they are taking turns to harass them."
" I blame Commander Gavin. It was the food they brought that destroyed the Tukan people's attention. They attracted us to the city of Uxmail. Before they came, those Tukan people had never come to harass us."
"You are a bit heartless when you say this. But those who came to help us fight against the Tukans, the invasion of those Tukans can They didn't provoke it. It would be a matter of time before they got here. Without their support, what we need to face in the future is not the harassment of a group of Eagle Knights, but countless Tukan Cavalry. At that time, we couldn't even hide. There is no place to hide.”
"Here it comes again, the Tukan Eagle Knight is here again, hurry up and enter the bunker, hurry up and enter the nearby bunker."
"Run! Run! Run!"
" Let me in, let me in, please, let me in... ...Ah..."
"Save me...Save me...I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."
"Save people, hurry up and save people, don't go out blindly Rush, push against the door panel, push against the door panel..."
As bursts of gongs resounded through the city of Uxmail, all the citizens rushed towards the surrounding bunkers.
A burst of loud eagle calls sounded in the sky, and dozens of small black dots appeared in everyone's field of vision. The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air was like the scream of death to the ears of the citizens of Uxmail City. .
Thick and long arrows fell from the sky, accurately nailing those citizens who failed to evade in time.
Most of them were injured but did not die, wailing in pain while running or crawling towards the nearest shelter.
These Tukan Eagle Knights simply want to cause chaos and do not deliberately pursue killing. They rarely focus on the same target and shoot together, giving these poor citizens a chance to escape.
This is already the third day.
The Cormyr grain transport fleet had just finished unloading the grain, and these Tukan Eagle Knights appeared the next day.
Under their harassment, normal life in the entire city of Usmail was problematic, let alone organizing manpower to transport food to the front line.
