Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 102 The situation changes suddenly
This is a team consisting of more than a dozen people, most of them are wrapped in clothes roughly sewn from pieces of animal skin, and a few of them are covered with a layer of dirty single clothes that cannot be identified.

Seeing the tent not far away and the unextinguished bonfire outside the tent, as well as the faint but tenacious smell of food that penetrated everyone's noses, all stimulated them to quicken their pace.

At a distance of more than ten meters from the tent, the group found three men standing there. One of them was a tall and straight man looking at them coldly. The coldness emanating from his body seemed to make everyone feel even colder. This man was Wei Xiuning!
Standing next to him were Xia Yongjia and Ma Zhi, while Tao Haiyang couldn't survive in the tent, and Tang Tang rolled his eyes several times.

"Stop, if you get closer, don't blame us for being rude!" Seeing that everyone didn't intend to stop, Ma Zhi warned.

The leader of the other party was a man with a hooked nose, about thirty years old. After hearing Ma Zhi's words, he smiled: "Brother, we have no malicious intentions, just want to borrow some fire."

Borrow a fire?Judging by their appearance, they don't look like ordinary people with no power to restrain chickens, but like a very experienced mercenary squad, how could they not even prepare the fire.

Xia Yongjia smiled harmlessly to humans and animals, and said, "Borrowing a fire? Here, the bonfire over there hasn't gone out yet, so go get it yourself."

Seeing that the simple and honest man on the other side was so easy to talk, the hooked nose exchanged a look with the person next to him, but before they could make a move, Xia Yongjia said again: "It's just that we are not used to getting too close to strangers, please Get out of the fire and leave."

The man's face froze, and he said: "Brother, because we encountered a powerful mutant beast on the road, we lost a lot of supplies we brought with us, and we didn't rush back to the tribe before dark. Let's rest next to one night, it's safer if there are more people."

"Yeah, isn't your bonfire still extinguished? Let's just stay there for one night." Another person said.

Looking at the number of them and the ferocious look on their faces, if they are forced to leave, there will inevitably be a fierce battle. Thinking of this, Xia Yongjia replied: "In this case, please go ahead." After speaking, the three of them Turn around and go back to the tent.

The moment the curtain of the tent was lifted, one of the other people's eyes lit up, and then he whispered to the hooked nose, "Boss, the tent is full of women and children!" .

Hearing these words, Hooked Nose's nose moved, and a sternness flashed across his face.

The group gathered around the bonfire, discussing in a low voice: "Boss, I don't know where these people come from?"

"I think it's a paper tiger. The three men are very energetic. It turns out that there are women and children inside. Tsk tsk, these three men are so lucky!"

"Boss, we don't want to do anything, I think they have a lot of money." A man with a wretched face said.

The hooked nose whispered: "We'll see at night!"

Inside the tent, Lin Rantong asked softly, "Who is outside?"

"It looks like a mercenary team, camped outside by the bonfire." Ma Zhi replied.

After hearing this, Lin Rantong looked along the observation port, and saw the stern look on the face of the man with the hooked nose.

"These people are not kind." Lin Rantong pondered.

Xia Yongjia sneered: "It doesn't matter if you are kind or not, if they think anything wrong about us, they will know what regret is!"

Everyone nodded. Although there were many of them, there were two second-tier masters on my side, and I was not afraid of them. Let them stay here, but I just didn't want to conflict with the same kind for no reason.If people don't attack me, I won't attack others. If people attack me, I will attack them!

Xia Yongjia and Ma Zhi were in charge of vigilance, and the others continued to practice. After the practice, Wei Xiuning and Lin Rantong were vigilant, while the others rested. Tao Haiyang also stayed in the tent because of this incident.

In the middle of the night, the sound of the wind was intertwined with the calls of various unknown animals, making it even more silent and deep, and the curved crescent moon radiated a cool light.

A group of people walked lightly, stooping and quietly marched towards the tent.Thinking of the moment when the curtain of the tent was raised, the women with different styles inside made the people who saw that scene swallow their saliva.The income of the team is not good recently, and it has been a long time since I have tasted a woman.

Under the signal of the boss, one of them stepped forward, carefully opened a corner of the tent curtain, and then opened his eyes wide in horror. What caught his eyes was the frozen face of the man, and he only had time to let out a sharp cry. He yelled, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The scream woke up the people on both sides, the one with the hooked nose immediately stopped and spread out to the two sides, and everyone in the Ivy team jumped up.Everyone knew that something might happen to the group of people tonight. Except for the two children, no one had slept well.

Wei Xiuning grabbed the corpse on the ground, quickly lifted the curtain, and threw the corpse towards the other crowd.

"Attack!" Hooked Nose shouted loudly.

All kinds of weapons, mixed with fireballs and wind blades, attacked Wei Xiuning together.

After Wei Xiuning was promoted to the second level, the speed of the ability's release was much faster, and its power was also greatly enhanced. He flicked his wrist, and several ice skates flew back and forth at an extremely fast speed, shooting at the few people closest to him, and only heard a few sounds There was a scream, and the people who were hit by the knife fell to the ground, but the attacks from behind also followed, Wei Xiuning hurriedly retreated to the left and rear, and the attacks of Tang Tang and Xia Yongjia, who cooperated tacitly, hit those people. And Lin Rantong and Liu Yu stayed in the tent with their two children.

As the two sides fought together, Wei Xiuning, who was standing by the side, seemed to be the god of death wielding a sickle, taking the opportunity to release the ice knife to harvest one life after another.

In a moment, there were only five people left on the other side.

"No, retreat quickly!" Following the order of the hooked nose, the remaining four hurriedly followed him to retreat.

Their retreat, on the contrary, exposed their weaknesses to Lin Rantong and the others, and the fireball, ice blade, water blade, and wind blade all greeted them.

As another scream came, the hooked nose shouted hoarsely: "Split up and withdraw!"

The four of them fled in different directions, the attack distance of the ability is limited, Wei Xiuning hurriedly chased after the hooked nose.

Among the other three, one was chased by Xia Yongjia, the other was caught up by Ma Zhi, and the other was a speed mutator who seemed to be running farther and farther.

After three more screams, the man panicked and plunged into the dense forest not far away.

Wei Xiuning and the others stopped, and ran to the dense forest in the middle of the night, there was no other way out but to die.

Sure enough, he heard a call for help, and the mutant seemed to run towards the direction of the crowd again. Although he was very fast, he still disappeared silently with a scream before he escaped from the dense forest.

Tang Tang looked at the corpses all over the ground and shook his head. These people are not righteous, and they are looking for a dead end. No one can blame them.

Xia Yongjia chuckled: "I said earlier that they would know what regret is!"

At this moment, Wei Xiuning's face changed: "No, everyone, go!"

At this time, everyone was outside the tent, and out of trust in their companions, they immediately followed Wei Xiuning and ran forward.

Lin Rantong was secretly shocked. As a second-level high-level supernatural power user, his perception of danger is far stronger than others. Before standing at the entrance of the tent, the distance was far away. Now that he is running, the unstoppable rush from the side of the road The coercion from the dense forest in the distance made her trembling and breathless.

This was the first time that she hadn't met an unknown enemy yet, and the pressure on her heart increased sharply just by the opponent's breath.

"Ah!" Tang Tang screamed and looked at the ground in horror, only to see dense spiders swimming non-stop. Ma Xiaoyan's face turned pale, but she didn't make a sound after all.On the contrary, Liu Yu, probably because he saw too many zombies during the mission in Mingxi Town, now he saw countless spiders, but he was much calmer.

"Tang Tang, fire!" At this moment, his ability is not as good as Tang Tang's fireball, Lin Rantong reminded.

Tang Tang reacted at this moment, and when a string of fireballs hit, he heard the sound of "stabbing, stabbing", followed by bursts of burnt smell.

Just after a clearing was burned, more spiders covered it like a tide.

There are so many spiders, I don't know if they are poisonous, it makes people's scalp numb.Lin Rantong took out a barrel of gasoline from the space and poured it on the spider, and after everyone pulled away for a certain distance, Tang Tang ignited a fireball, and only heard Weng's sound, and countless spiders burst into the flames.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only Wei Xiuning and Lin Rantong stared at the direction of the dense forest, and shouted at the same time: "Go!"

At this time, a huge monster crawled out from the dense forest. It looked at the sea of ​​fire, let out a deafening roar, and quickly crawled towards the crowd.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they saw it. This monster turned out to be a giant spider, about two meters high. Against the background of the fire, its whole body glowed blue.Its eight thick and big legs moved very fast, and it approached everyone in the blink of an eye.

Needless to say, everyone ran desperately.I prayed secretly that the sea of ​​​​fire would stop this scary spider.

Unexpectedly, with a kick of its hind legs, the spider leaped across the sea of ​​flames, and then chased after the crowd.

Among them, Ma Zhi is a wind-type supernatural being, and Tao Haiyang is a speed mutant. With the speed of the two of them, they can barely escape, but there is still a gap in the speed of other people compared to spiders. Seeing that the distance is getting smaller and smaller, if this continues Everyone can't escape, and their physical strength will be lost rapidly.

Thinking of this, Lin Rantong handed An Ran to Dashan in the air: "Dashan, fly to a high place, the higher the better." After speaking, he turned his head resolutely and looked at the spider.

Seeing this, several other people also stopped and looked at the spider together.

The spider seemed to have gained wisdom. Seeing the small caterpillars it was chasing stop, it also stopped its huge body and stared at them motionless.

"Ran, Rantong, can you deal with this spider?" Tang Tang asked tremblingly.

Lin Rantong stared at the spider closely, and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid not, if I'm not wrong, this is a third-order mutant beast!"

As soon as these words came out, except for Wei Xiuning who remained expressionless, a trace of despair flashed across everyone's faces.
