I first met the old monk at his pavilion.
"This towering tree was planted by my master. After the master passed away, Wuhai and I continued to plant it."
The mutated old monk pointed at the towering tree and said slowly.
"There was an abnormality in the temple behind, and something strange happened to the big tree."
"But the big tree did not hurt either of us. Instead, it protected the temple."
"Wuhai realized that his body was strange and went to the pagoda. I was also trapped in the inner demons at that time and stayed in the pavilion. The big tree noticed my abnormality and used its roots to help me suppress the inner demons."
A strand of roots spread down, like a gentle kitten walking up to the mutated old monk, and the old monk gently stroked it with his right hand.
"I didn't expect you to have the same heart as Master. I am not as good as you..." The mutated old monk sighed.
The towering tree was infected, and it was a blessing in disguise that he had self-awareness, but did not fall into chaos.
It is dedicated to temple cultivation and has been protecting the temple since it gained the ability.
"There is also a tree outside the temple. It is quite bloodthirsty and powerful. Many monsters outside the temple have been killed by it."
"I can feel that you have a similar aura to it, so it must be eyeing you."
"I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to escape."
Zhao Yue's heart tightened and he quickly said: "What can you do?"
"The old monk is stupid and has only one solution."
"What method?"
"I will fight to the death with that strange tree. Maybe there will be a chance for you to get out."
The old monk clasped his hands together and nodded slightly as he faced Zhao Yue.
"How can this be done? We must fight together!" Zhao Yue's eyes widened and he could not accept what the old monk said, "How can I, Zhao Yue, be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Seeing Zhao Yue's firm tone, the mutated old monk smiled slightly: "The poor monk will fight together with the donor."
The towering branches swayed, seeming to convey to the two of them their willingness to fight together.
"Boom!"
There was a strong vibration on the ground, cracks appeared in the slate floor tiles, many buildings collapsed, and gravel and dust were flying all over the sky.
A huge ape figure stood outside the temple wall. Its eyes were white, and it was a living corpse.
With a bang, the old red wall was shattered by the zombie ape's punch.
"It's taking action!" The mutated old monk said solemnly.
"Wow!"
Countless thick roots flew from a short distance and stabbed at Zhao Yue, mutating the two old monks.
Zhao Yue held Zhang Ni and moved quickly. His body was like a civet cat, dodging forward, backward, left and right. The roots that were stabbing Zhao Yue fell into the air and stuck on the ground. The stone floor was suddenly pierced by the huge force.
"drink!"
The mutated old monk was tall, and he grabbed several roots that rushed towards him and tore them off in his hands. Countless blood-red liquid spewed out from the broken roots, just like water spewing out from an open water pipe.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The roots of the towering trees turned into hair all over the sky, twisting and shooting towards the living corpse ape.
"Roar!"
The living corpse ape is taller than the wall and has infinite strength. The bulging muscles are like the huge force generated by the engine of an airplane. The countless roots wrapped around the body are broken by him, and the large broken roots are like feathers falling off in mid-air. .
"This giant ape is coming towards me!" Zhao Yue was dodging and noticed the living corpse ape rushing towards him.
Wherever the living corpse of the ape passed by, large slabs of stone exploded and debris flew into the air.
"Buzz!"
The space rippled slightly, and the relic was taken out from the portable space. The blood-red tentacles suspended it in the air. The pale yellow light was like ripples of water, shining on the living corpse ape.
"Roar!"
The white color of the eyes of the living corpse ape quickly faded, turning into black pupils on a white background. The body seemed to suddenly lose strength and fell down. Due to the huge inertia, the body still slid forward a lot.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
…
At the gap in the wall, more zombie monsters rushed in.
"Old monk, step away and leave the zombie monster to me!" Zhao Yue shouted.
"Okay!" The mutated old monk ran to Zhao Yue's side and blocked a large number of stabbing roots for Zhao Yue.
Light yellow light flickered, and all the living corpses that were illuminated by the relics fell to the ground and stopped moving.
At the gap in the wall, Zhao Yue held up the relic with his tentacles, and the mutated old monk guarded him. His tall body was like an indestructible wall, surrounded by large pieces of living zombie monsters that fell to the ground dead.
There were more roots coming from a distance, and they were stronger. The strange tree was extremely angry after losing so many zombie monsters.
"I sense its location, follow me!"
The mutated old monk ran in front, and Zhao Yue followed behind him.
"Old monk, can you still hold on?" Zhao Yue asked worriedly. In order to block the roots, the mutated old monk had many eyes blinded in his upper body. There were puncture holes all over his body, and more blood was flowing.
"It doesn't matter." The old monk said calmly.
Three minutes later.
A blackened and broken tree trunk appeared in front of the two of them. This tree trunk was not too high, about the height of a two-story building. A large number of roots came out of it. Hundreds of living zombie monsters were guarding it in front of it, shouting at the two of them. Roar.
"Is this the strange tree?" Zhao Yue raised his eyebrows slightly. The strange tree was different from what he thought.
"Be careful, the poor monk feels that it has extremely terrifying power." The mutated old monk clasped his hands together, with only ten eyes left on his upper body, and his eyes were solemn.
Zhao Yue took a few steps closer, and his body quickly experienced a strong stress reaction, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, which made Zhao Yue feel nervous.
"I feel it too. Facing it, I have the illusion that I will die at any time." Zhao Yue exhaled.
"Roar!"
Tens of thousands of roots shot out from the strange tree and pierced all the surrounding zombie monsters. These zombie monsters did not resist and allowed the roots to pierce into their bodies.
"It's absorbing the life of these living corpses." Zhao Yue was sensitive to the breath of life and quickly noticed the abnormality.
"Did this strange tree realize that it possesses relics and restrain the zombie monsters, so it absorbed all their body energy?"
Zhao Yue made a guess in his mind.
In the blink of an eye, all the zombie monsters were drained of their life energy, flattened like tissue paper, and fell to the ground lightly.
A strange blood-red light flashed on the trunk of the strange tree.
"Drink!" The mutated old monk jumped into the air, made a fist with his right hand, poured all his strength into his right fist, and punched the strange tree with an unrivaled momentum.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
A large number of roots rushed out from the ground, like an erupting volcano.
"Old monk!" Zhao Yue shouted, and hundreds of blood-red tentacles shot out, wrapping around the roots that rushed toward the old monk.
"Uh-huh!"
Thousands of roots rushed towards Zhao Yue.
Sweat broke out on Zhao Yue's forehead. Only when he faced the strange tree did he realize how terrifying it was.
Its roots seem endless.
Zhao Yue's body turned into nothingness and disappeared from its original position, with thousands of roots piercing the sky.
"Don't worry about me, the poor monk can handle it." The mutated old monk panted a little and landed on the ground, surrounded by broken roots scattered on the ground.
"Okay!" Zhao Yue withdrew from nothingness. Within a few seconds, he placed Zhang Ni far away and held her to fight. It affected his movements too much.
The two people's eyes met briefly, and they both understood that they were going to fight hard this time!
