Traveling through the new apocalyptic era

Chapter 173 173 Plant Crystal Nucleus
Yin Ling stopped halfway up the mountain. The pine forest here was really easy to identify, but he just didn't know which one was a mutated pine tree. The information only said that there was a century-old pine tree near the center of the pine forest that would attack passing humans indiscriminately. .

The pine trees here looked very old, and there were several that she could not wrap her arms around as she passed by. In the past, these were protected trees.

Finally, Yin Ling stopped and looked at the pine tree in front of her that only the two of her could hug. Not surprisingly, it was this tree. It was not like an ancient tree that was hundreds of years old, but it seemed to be a thousand years old. The trunk The straight, densely branched pine needles are laid out layer by layer, giving a sense of oppression that blocks out the sky and the sun.

Yin Ling wanted to take a closer look, but as soon as she took a step, she was pushed back by the swarming pine needles. Fortunately, she was always alert and reacted very quickly. She retreated in time to avoid being shot by the pine needles.

He used his spiritual power to collect two pine needles. Yin Ling looked at the dark green and black pine needles in front of him. They were fifteen centimeters long and about half a centimeter in diameter. They were very hard, like a big steel nail. He pinched them with his hands. After pinching, only a faint trace was left, not even the water was pinched out. The heads of the pine needles are pointed, and there is a sharp thorny feeling when scratched on the hand.

These pine needles are indeed a sharp weapon for pine trees. One needle can be fatal to ordinary people.

Yin Lingrang quietly retreated from the attack range of the pine tree, covered herself with a layer of spiritual power and continued to move forward. She needed to get closer to the pine tree.

When she took the second step, countless pine needles were attacking her from all over the sky, and the sunlight that was originally shining through the gaps between the branches and leaves disappeared in an instant.

The pine needles shot to the ground and penetrated deeply into the ground. Yin Ling did not make any ink marks. No matter how many pine needles it had, as long as it could not break through its own defense, it could not hurt her.

He teleported to the root of the pine tree with a single dodger. At this time, Yin Ling had already thickened his body-protecting spiritual power for the third time. This shows how dense and powerful the attack power of the pine needles is, and it is indeed impossible for ordinary practitioners to parry it.

The bark of this pine tree was like the cracked earth, very dry and rough. Yin Ling was about to raise his hand to pick a piece to try, but was caught off guard by the cracked bark. Blood immediately appeared on his hand, and a drop of blood fell on it. The ground disappeared instantly.

This bark is also a means of attack!
It turns out that tree bark is not for defense but for attack, so the best defense is attack?

Yin Ling stopped inking and thickened her body-protecting spiritual power again. This tree might be stronger than she thought. She took out her long sword and slashed at the tree trunk.

Countless pieces of tree bark also collapsed towards Yin Ling at the same time. The two collided halfway and emitted countless metal screams. Yin Ling was directly shaken back half a step, and part of the bark was directly shattered, like a goddess scattering flowers. The pine needles were still buzzing towards Yin Ling.

Yin Ling flew back and retreated from Pine Tree's attack area.

At this time, the ground was already densely covered with pine needles, and there was no place to stand. Looking up again, the pine trees were still as dense as before, and the pine needles here were just a drop in the bucket.

Seeing this, Yin Ling had no choice but to put away her sword, turned her hand over, and a bow appeared in her hand. Without even a moment's hesitation, she pulled the string and shot out a beam of blue light, breaking through the green rain of pine needles and hitting the center of the tree trunk ten centimeters deep before disappearing. .

One arrow was not enough, so ten shots were fired in succession. Each shot hit one point and half penetrated the pine tree. At the same time, Yin Ling also shot while retreating, because the attack range of the pine needles was expanding, which was inadvertently consuming her energy. The spiritual power forced her to retreat.

Yin Ling retreated, but the arrows did not retreat. On the contrary, each arrow was stronger than the last, and they were bound to capture the tree. Just after Yin Ling consumed half of her spiritual power to shoot through the trunk, she looked at the tree in front of her in disbelief. everything.She saw that the tree trunk she shot through was healing rapidly. Looking around, Yin Ling discovered that the surrounding trees were rapidly turning yellow, and the fallen pine needles were becoming sparse. The mutated pine trees were extracting the essence of the surrounding trees to replenish themselves!

Can't let it get away!
Thickening the body's protective spiritual power again, Yin Ling shot several arrows in succession to prevent the pine tree from healing. At the same time, he quickly approached the pine tree. He stopped when he was one meter away, drew out his long sword, covered the ice, and drew out half of his spiritual power to directly kill it. He stabbed the hole in the tree that was still healing, and at the same time turned the hilt of the sword to infuse spiritual power and directly destroy the inside of the tree trunk.

Just a few clicks were heard, and the pine tree was split into two halves by her waist. The chopped upper body of the tree tilted directly. Yin Ling quickly reached the space to avoid falling to the ground and injuring herself, and to avoid making too much noise and attracting nearby humans. and plant concerns.

Chirp, chirp.

Quietly didn't know when he ran over, pointing directly at the wooden pillar half a man tall and shouting.

Yin Ling raised his eyebrows, knowing what it meant. He took his sword and split the root of the tree. A crystal clear green crystal core came into view. This was the purpose of this trip. The spiritual power was abundant, pure and easy to absorb, better than any panacea. All useful.

Putting the thing into the space, he directly ignored the eagerness in Qing Qing's eyes. This thing will be used at a critical moment. As for what the critical moment is, you will know it by then.One person and one rabbit began to collect the pine needles on the ground. These are also good things, perfect for making hidden weapons.

After cleaning the battlefield, Yin Ling meditated on the spot and began to recover his spiritual energy. This battle was not exciting, but it consumed a lot of spiritual energy. This pine tree did have the strength to build a foundation. If it could run and jump, Yin Ling might not be able to get it so quickly. It falls, but it won't move. As long as its weapons, pine needles and bark are removed, nothing can be done even if it still has strong vitality.

After practicing, it was already dark. I quietly found a lot of mushrooms nearby and gathered them in a small pile around her.

After putting all the fresh mushrooms into the space and looking at Qi Qiu's dirty paws, Yin Ling cast a cleaning spell on it, held it in his arms and touched it, and then wandered around the mountains for a while. Son, there are no other abnormalities. I looked at my watch and it was already nighttime at normal times. Unfortunately, the sun was still hanging high in the sky. I didn’t know when it would end.

The mountain was not big, and apart from the mutated pine trees, there was nothing particularly interesting to visit. Yin Ling took out a portion of the exotic animal meat that had been cooked before and shared it quietly before deciding to walk further into the mountain.

Although the map shows that there is only one red dot here, maybe they only explored this mountain.

I didn't hear any sounds around after I got down the mountain. It seems that the previous wave of practitioners didn't come this way. They may have gone around or changed directions. It's best if they don't encounter them. It saves time and time for socializing. energy.

Yin Ling walked directly towards the nearest mountain. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he could vaguely see some traces of human activities, which seemed to be from not long ago, because there was a pool of water under the trampled weeds. footprints.Maybe the previous wave of people detoured here while she was fighting.

Yin Ling decided to follow the footprints up the mountain to have a look.
