Chapter 212 Another Encounter with a Plant Monster

Puff!

Wang Tao swung his knife and a third-order ordinary zombie was split in half vertically.

"Huh——"

Looking at the zombie corpses all around, Wang Tao took a deep breath.

"There are so many zombies here!"

After leaving the team, he encountered many zombies along the way. And they were basically second- and third-order ordinary zombies.

Although he could easily deal with them, these zombies didn't have much loot, which was a bit unpleasant.

However, when Wang Tao looked at his special energy, he grinned again.

[Special Energy: 54140]

From the bridge of the artificial lake to now, Wang Tao has obtained a total of 54,000 special energy!

The most he had before was 26,000, which directly exceeded his previous upper limit.

It only takes 5,000 special energy to synthesize or extract second-order superpowers. With so much special energy, it can be operated many times!

But now is not the time to study superpowers, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue continue to move forward.

This is a multi-functional gymnasium with three floors above ground, divided into six areas, namely A, B, C, D, E, and F.

Among them, A and B areas are the largest, C and D areas are the second largest, and E and F areas are the smallest.

Before, there were obstacles in the middle of each area, and they were not connected.

The Bauhinia Base and the prison where zombies were raised were in Area A, but now Area A has completely fallen, and some zombies broke through some obstacles and ran to other areas.

No one knows which area is the most dangerous now, but Areas A and B are definitely very dangerous, because these two areas are next to each other, and it is estimated that many zombies have gone to Area B.

However, Wang Tao's target is not any of these areas, but underground.

He can vaguely sense through the plants in the gymnasium that there are not many zombies in Areas E and F, which are relatively safer. There are more zombies in Areas C and D, which will definitely be more dangerous.

As for Areas A and B... Wang Tao can't feel anything, because there are no plants there for him to use.

Not sensing movement does not mean there is no danger. It may even be more dangerous.

So Wang Tao asked Lan Yulian to go to Area E.

As for why he didn't go, it was because he sensed that there seemed to be... a very strong plant monster in the underground parking lot of the gymnasium!

The plant monster also had his plant-friendly hiding ability. So when he sensed the plant monster, the plant monster also sensed him!

At that moment, Wang Tao knew that he was being stared at by this plant monster!

There are many plants such as vines and mosses in the gymnasium, and he can't avoid them.

So instead of letting a monster stare at him all the time, it is better to take the initiative to find this monster!

Moreover, in the information given to Lan Yulian by the Bauhinia Base, there was no mention of this plant monster, and even the underground parking lot was not mentioned. They said that the underground parking lot was too dark and too difficult to clean, so they simply blocked the underground parking lot.

Now it seems that either they concealed some news about the underground parking lot. Or something happened in the underground parking lot that they didn't know about.

But no matter which case, Wang Tao must go to see this underground parking lot. Anyway, he and Jiang Shixue have night vision and are not afraid of the dark.

After walking for a while and killing several ordinary third-level zombies, Wang Tao found one of the elevator entrances in the underground parking lot.

"It's all blocked..."

If it was just the elevator door, Wang Tao could still find a way to open it, but this time he directly blocked the elevator shaft with some building materials.

Wang Tao had no choice but to find the next place.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue looked up at the same time, one green and one red, looking into the darkness.

In their sight, a zombie with pus flowing out of its body and some deformities appeared from the corner, twisting its body and walking quickly towards the two.

[Health: 30000/30000]

[Mana: 3000/3000]

[Level: Third-level Elite]

"Is this the third-level zombie they cultivated? But it's a bit weak..."

Seeing this zombie, Wang Tao frowned.

Although this zombie is a third-level elite, it only has 3,000 mana. This mana is not as much as some first-level psychics...

"Don't attack, I'll go see its strength."

Wang Tao told Jiang Shixue, then picked up the bone knife and walked towards the zombie.

"Hehe..."

The zombie roared at Wang Tao, then stretched out his hands to grab Wang Tao.

Wang Tao easily dodged its attack.

"The attack speed is so-so..."

Then Wang Tao quickly stepped back a few steps, and the zombie immediately chased him.

"The movement speed is also so-so..."

When the zombie caught up, Wang Tao directly slashed at its head.

[-15027]

This knife directly cut off half of its face.

"Defense is also so-so..."

"Hehe..."

The zombie that was attacked seemed a little angry, it roared, and rushed towards Wang Tao again.

Wang Tao didn't plan to try its attack again, so he swung it directly.

Puff~

[-14973]

The health bar of the pus-filled zombie is reduced to zero.

“It’s really weak…”

Wang Tao took a look at his special energy.

Although this zombie is very weak, it still has some special energy, a total of 1,500. Of course, the reward is not much. Wang Tao can get more than 6,000 special energy by killing other third-level elite zombies.

Wang Tao looked at its crystal core again.

[Level 3 Crystal Core·Defense]

[Quality: Normal (20%)]

[Purity: 40% (Side Effect: Body Discharge)]

[Defense: Passive ability, enhance self-defense]

A very ordinary third-level defense crystal core.

As for the loot, it did release three loot packages, but the contents of these three packages were average.

The crystal core gift package in the first package actually only had one crystal core, and it was also a defense. Fortunately, it was a blue quality one, which was better than the one on hand.

The second package contains a bunch of crafting materials that can be exploded by ordinary zombies.

The third package is [Defense Potion (Small)*10], so the items in this package are pretty good.

"This kind of zombie should have been cultivated by them. It is indeed very weak. It feels like an enhanced version of the second-level ordinary zombie. However, it may still be difficult for others to deal with..."

Wang Tao felt that if they were all third-level zombies of this level, then the Bauhinia Base should be able to solve them by gathering so many people.

But it’s hard to say how many promotion cores this zombie can explode...

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue continued to look for the entrance to the underground parking lot.

Along the way, he encountered several more third-level zombies, but Wang Tao easily dispatched them all.

"Brother, it seems you can go down here."

While passing through a corridor, Jiang Shixue suddenly spoke.

Wang Tao followed Jiang Shixue's gaze and found a large hole at the end of the corridor, with many thorny vines at the entrance.

Wang Tao ran over quickly.

Looking in from this hole, I happened to see the roofs of several cars.

Below is the parking lot!

Wang Tao did not rush down, but studied the cave entrance first.

Judging from the damage at the entrance of the hole, Wang Tao always felt...as if something broke out of the ground and made a big hole in the floor!

Could it be that weird plant thing?

Wang Tao thought.

He took out his walkie-talkie and contacted Lan Yulian.

"I'm Wang Tao, how are you doing there?"

"Zizzi...zizi..."

After a burst of electricity, Lan Yulian's voice sounded.

"I am Lan Yulian. We are safe for the time being. There are no casualties. What about you? Is it safe where you are?"

"I'm safe here too."

Wang Tao nodded.

"By the way, why did you take Xiaoxue away! Do you know how dangerous it is here? Even if you brought Xiaoxue, you actually took her away alone! If I weren't afraid that contacting you rashly would disturb you, I I have wanted to scold you for a long time, you..."

While Lan Yulian was speaking, there was Lu Yingfeng's voice next to her, and she was also a bit cursing.

After listening to what the two of them said, Wang Tao not only didn't get angry, but instead smiled.

Because he could feel that Lan Yulian really cared about Jiang Shixue.

In Lan Yulian's eyes, Jiang Shixue was just a silly, lovable little girl. She didn't expect that when Wang Tao set off, Jiang Shixue was also in the car. She didn't even expect that when Wang Tao left alone before, he actually took Jiang Shixue away with him!

If it wasn't for the wrong timing, she would have come over and taught Wang Tao a lesson.

"Does she care about me?"

Jiang Shixue, who was beside Wang Tao, asked with some confusion.

"Yes."

Wang Tao touched Jiang Shixue's little head, and then said to the intercom:

"I brought Xiaoxue because she has some special abilities that are useful to me. Don't worry, I will protect Xiaoxue. Aren't you still worried about my strength?"

Wang Tao originally wanted to explain Jiang Shixue's strength to her, but he should pay attention again. He was going to let Xiaoxue turn around and scare her to satisfy his own evil taste.

"...Forget it, you've already taken me away. It's useless what I say. I just hope you can keep your word!"

Lan Yulian sighed helplessly.

"Don't worry. Then where are you now?"

Wang Tao changed the topic.

"We are... there are too many zombies on the road. There are many third-level ordinary zombies, and we also encountered a few third-level elite zombies. We haven't reached Area E yet..."

When it came to business, Lan Yulian immediately gathered her emotions and quickly explained to Wang Tao.

"Then the progress is not bad."

Wang Tao estimated that according to their progress, they should reach Area E in another thirty minutes.

"But I exploded a promotion crystal core!"

Lan Yulian suddenly said again.

"...Promoted to the crystal core? Congratulations!"

Wang Tao was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lan Yulian to be so lucky.

"What about you? What did you gain? Did you get the promotion core?"

Lan Yulian asked.

"...I'm going to be busy, so that's it for now."

Wang Tao decisively ended the call.

He killed 5 level 3 elite zombies and exploded 10 crystal cores, but there was not a single promotion core inside...

Wang Tao once thought that these zombies would not explode and advance to the crystal core, but he did not expect that Lan Yulian's side would explode.

"Oh. It turns out it's my bad luck..."

Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue beside him and said:

"Come on, let's go first."

"Um."

Wang Tao looked carefully and jumped directly after confirming that there was no danger below.

Boom——

He landed gently on the roof of the car.

Jiang Shixue followed closely behind.

"So many plants..."

After Wang Tao came down, he found that the underground parking lot was full of plants. Vines, mosses, tree roots, and some unknown plants...

"It feels like I've entered the lair of this plant monster..."

Wang Tao complained.

However, having more plants also has certain benefits for him. For example, now he instantly found the location of the plant monster!

"Let's go!"

Wang Tao immediately took Jiang Shixue to the direction of the plant monster.

At this time, suddenly a vine came towards Wang Tao and the others like a whip!

If Wang Tao didn't have night vision, he might have been hit. But with night vision, he saw the vine at a glance.

"Can this thing attack?"

Wang Tao was a little surprised, because he didn't see the health bar from the vine, so he subconsciously ignored it.

Wang Tao picked up the bone knife and slashed at the vine.

Puff~

The vine was cut in half and fell at Wang Tao's feet.

Wang Tao picked it up and took a closer look. It was indeed a very ordinary vine.

He waited for a while, and after not seeing any other attacks, he continued to move forward with Jiang Shixue.

But just a few steps away, another vine came over.

This time there were three vines, and Wang Tao also easily cut off the three vines with one knife.

"Is this the attack of the plant monster in the dark? It feels very weak..."

Wang Tao muttered and continued to move forward.

About a minute later, another vine came towards him.

But this time it was not one or three, but a dense pile.

Seeing another vine attack, Wang Tao subconsciously wanted to attack again. After all, these are ordinary vines with little defense.

But when he saw those vines clearly, Wang Tao directly grabbed Jiang Shixue and dodged directly.

Whoosh~

These vines hit the position where Wang Tao was just now, and then-

Boom!

Countless pieces of rubble were blown away, several cars were smashed directly, and a huge crack appeared on the concrete floor.

"Damn, they even used military tactics!"

Wang Tao was a little surprised.

Just now, he wanted to cut these ordinary vines with a knife, but he didn't expect that among these vines, there was a vine with a blood bar.

[100000/100000]

One hundred thousand blood points!

Wang Tao didn't know what this thing was, so he didn't dare to respond, and directly pulled Jiang Shixue and ran away.

Now it seems that he was right to dodge. If he was hit by this, he would be skinned if he didn't die.

Whoosh--

After the attack of this vine with 100,000 blood points failed to work, it immediately continued to dance and flew towards Wang Tao.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue moved left and right, dodging its attacks several times. Wang Tao also fought with the vine with a knife, but Wang Tao only hit it more than 100 blood points, which was almost like drizzle for it with 100,000 blood points.

Wang Tao suddenly thought of the entangled tree roots. At that time, the entangled tree roots also had 100,000 HP, and they were also unbeatable. They also only had the HP bar as an attribute...

Wang Tao didn't know whether this vine was the same kind of creature as the entangled tree roots, but it was definitely not the body of the plant monster.

"Let's go find its body!"

Wang Tao didn't intend to waste time with this vine. He and Jiang Shixue bypassed the vines on the left and right and ran directly forward.

Whoosh--

More vines attacked.

Wang Tao stared at these vines, and sure enough, several vines with 100,000 HP appeared. And these vines did not share the HP bar, each of them had 100,000 HP!

Fortunately, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue were both very fast, and they could easily avoid it with advance precautions.

Boom!

Boom!

The vines with 100,000 HP pulled cracks in the ground, broke the pillars of the parking lot, and smashed the car.

This destructive power is simply amazing!

At a certain moment, Wang Tao pointed to a place and shouted:

"It's right there!"

Jiang Shixue rushed directly to the place where Wang Tao pointed without saying anything.

The vines suddenly wanted to defend themselves, but Wang Tao, who had been dodging and not attacking, took the initiative to attack this time. He swung the bone knife directly and attacked the vines with 100,000 HP.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The bone knife and the vines collided, making a series of loud noises.

The concrete road around Wang Tao was almost turned into ruins.

And at this moment, these vines suddenly retracted and instantly broke away from the battle with Wang Tao.

At the same time, a thin figure flew towards Wang Tao.

Wang Tao immediately reached out and caught Jiang Shixue.

"Are you okay?"

Wang Tao saw that Jiang Shixue's HP bar had decreased by more than 2,000.

"I'm fine, it's coming."

Wang Tao looked up and saw a huge figure slowly emerging from the darkness.

This was a figure that looked like a big tree, and its whole body was metallic black. Some vines danced on it like tentacles.

Perhaps due to the limited height of the underground parking lot, its body grew a little sideways, making it look short and thick.

[HP: 50000/50000]

[Mana: 50000/50000]

[Level: Level 3·Lord]

[Impurities in the body: 70%]

This is a Level 3 Lord monster!

Seeing this somewhat exaggerated attribute, Wang Tao was relieved.

Although it has 50,000 HP, it is not a level 4 monster with more than 100,000 HP. Otherwise, Wang Tao would have no choice but to run away.

Wang Tao did not see where the face of this monster was, or it had no face, just this form.

It walked out of the darkness, waving those vines with 100,000 HP to attack Wang Tao.

Maybe because it was close, the vines were waving much faster, and Wang Tao dodged in a bit of a mess.

Wang Tao found the right opportunity, and after dodging the vine attack, he suddenly charged and came to the big tree monster.

He chopped twice, and a "-1034" and a "-1287" damage number jumped out of the big tree monster.

"What a high defense!"

Wang Tao was a little surprised, but he was not panicked.

He quickly took out a small pot from his waist and instantly poured the liquid in the small pot on the big tree monster.

"Big tree monster, right? Let's see if you can withstand the fire!"

Wang Tao always had gasoline in his car. When he felt that there was a plant monster here, he deliberately brought gasoline!

Pah~

Wang Tao took out a lighter, lit it and threw it at the plant monster.

Wow——

The tree monster was instantly covered by flames.

Wang Tao immediately moved away, he was ready to escape from the sea of ​​fire.

But the flames on the tree monster became smaller and smaller, and after a while... the flames went out!

"Fuck, you're not afraid of fire?"
