Chapter 484: Killing the Disaster

Rumble——

The ground shook and gravel fell.

The thick tree roots bulge like muscles, and the mutated tree is getting bigger visibly to the naked eye.

Wang Tao and others steadied their bodies and looked at the mutated tree that was changing, ready to attack at any time.

But Wang Tao did not immediately order an attack, but waited.

The mutated big tree just swallowed the [Growth Fruit] and was directly poisoned to death. However, there was no word poisoning on the head of this big tree. Instead, it suddenly began to swell.

Wang Tao knew that this was the result of [Growing Fruit].

But why does increasing strength increase body size? Is it possible that he will become a sixth-level lord?

Wang Tao was not afraid, but rather excited.

He is no longer satisfied with the fifth-level lord, he really wants to test his strength with the sixth-level lord!

As the mutated tree absorbed the [Growth Fruit], its properties also changed, but to Wang Tao's surprise, it did not evolve into a sixth-level lord, but into a fifth-level disaster level!

[HP: 1000000/1000000]

[Mana amount: 0/0]

[Level: Level 5·Disaster]

[Disaster Awakening: Life Drainage]

[Life drain: drain the blood of surrounding creatures]

To be honest, Wang Tao would rather deal with two sixth-level lords than a fifth-level disaster.

You can tell by looking at this perverted attribute. The upper limit of the blood volume of this disaster-level tree has reached 1 million, which is 2.5 times higher than the previous 400,000! What’s even more perverted is this disaster awakening——

Wang Tao clearly saw that his head was continuously losing blood.

【-1000】

【-1000】

【-1000】

【……】

Reduce blood volume by 1000 every second!

Just looking at the reduced blood volume, it doesn't seem to be a big problem, because with the big nanny Lan Yulian, even if her healing ability is suppressed, the blood volume restored every second is enough to offset this blood consumption.

But the problem is that Lan Yulian and the others also have blood loss on their heads, and the blood loss is ten times that of Wang Tao!

【-10000】

【-10000】

【-10000】

【……】

"It's a fifth-level disaster level! Escape first!"

Wang Tao immediately led everyone back quickly. The further away from the mutated tree, the less blood he lost. They retreated to more than a hundred meters away, and finally no more blood was lost.

Lan Yulian quickly restored blood to everyone, and everyone had thirty or forty thousand blood left. Fortunately, the third-level Chen Zhuang didn't come over. The others were all fourth-level awakened ones with more than 100,000 blood, otherwise their lives would definitely be in danger.

"horrible!"

Xiang Hongbin, who has always been fearless, had a trembling tone.

The last time I faced the disaster-level snake, I had a similar feeling, but the snake was a fourth-level snake after all, and was killed by everyone's combined efforts.

Compared with this fifth-level disaster-level tree, the big snake... is completely incomparable!

The scope covered by the mutated tree is far greater than the previous big snake. It can only stay 100 meters away without losing blood. The scope covered by the disaster awakening is probably a circle with a radius of more than 100 meters, and the area is as high as three meters. It is more than 10,000 square meters, which is equivalent to the size of more than four standard football fields!

Not to mention, this blood loss is even more abnormal!

They were at least forty or fifty meters away from the big tree. This distance was already beyond the range of many people's long-range attacks. But even at this distance, he still loses 10,000 blood every second! With their blood volume of more than 100,000, they can only last for more than ten seconds.

If he got any closer, he might lose tens of thousands of blood in one second and die in an instant!

Wang Tao was a little lucky. Fortunately, he was more cautious and didn't let everyone get too close. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether the others could come back safely.

"Disaster level..."

The fifth-level disaster level is obviously more difficult to deal with than the sixth-level lord level. HP and defense are secondary, and the main thing is "disaster awakening".

He has seen three disaster awakenings so far, all of which were large-scale, indiscriminate and continuous attacks! And there doesn’t seem to be any loss, just like the monster’s passive ability!

This kind of disaster awakening is so abnormal that people can't get close to it. Especially Xiang Hongbin and others who are only in the fourth level, if they get close, they will die!

Although Wang Tao can resist blood loss because he is at level 5, it is only in the middle and close range. If he wants to get close to the mutated tree, he will probably lose tens of thousands of blood...

The only good thing is that this mutated tree cannot move even after it is promoted to disaster level, so as long as they don't seek death, they can still leave safely.

"Wang Tao, what should we do?"

But obviously, everyone was not willing to leave just like that.

This is a disaster! It's still a fifth-level disaster level, and Wang Tao is also a fifth-level one. You have to give it a try, right?

"I'm going to test its strength first, but don't come over."

Wang Tao ordered, and then rushed directly towards the mutated tree.

The space here is not empty. There are many obstacles such as stone walls around it. Wang Tao cannot see the mutated tree directly here, so he has to get closer.

Entering the range of the Disaster Awakening again, Wang Tao began to lose blood again.

【-100】

【-200】

【-300】

【……】

When Wang Tao saw the mutated tree, he didn't hesitate and shot out two red high-temperature rays instantly.

Zhi——

【-3133】

【-3224】

[-3256]

“…”

Seeing this damage number, Wang Tao decisively stopped the high temperature ray.

Before the mutant tree evolved, the high temperature ray could cause 15,000 damage every 0.5 seconds. Now after the evolution, it only causes 3,000 damage… This damage has been reduced five times! And its health was 400,000 before, and now it is 1 million!

It is not difficult to calculate that if Wang Tao wants to kill the tree with the high temperature ray now, he has to shoot for five minutes!

Five minutes, even if Wang Tao's eyes can bear it, the awakening energy cannot support it! The longer the [Scorching Eye] lasts, the damage will increase slightly, but the consumption will also be greater. He can't bear this consumption at all. So Wang Tao decisively stopped the ability and had to take a long-term view.

But at this time, the words of adding blood suddenly appeared on the head of the disaster-level tree.

[+700]

[+700]

[+700]

[…]

“Recovering blood?”

Wang Tao thought of the disaster-level awakening name of the disaster-level mutant tree.

"Life absorption? Could this be my blood?"

Wang Tao's face was very ugly, because his current blood volume was exactly 700 per second!

In order to verify his guess, Wang Tao immediately stepped back a few steps, and the blood loss on his head decreased.

[-600]

[……]

At the same time, the blood recovery on the tree's head also changed.

[+600]

[……]

"Damn, it's really my blood!"

Wang Tao ran back immediately.

He hasn't found a way to kill the tree yet, so he definitely can't stay here, otherwise the tree will recover blood in vain.

"How is it?"

Seeing Wang Tao coming back, everyone asked immediately. Lan Yulian's treatment was thrown at Wang Tao as if it was free.

"One good news and one bad news. The good news is that after this mutant tree was promoted, it seems to have lost the ability to attack remotely. I can't fight back when I attack it. But the bad news is that its defense is too high..."

Wang Tao carefully explained the situation of the tree.

"This..."

Everyone frowned after hearing it.

If Wang Tao can't do anything, then he can only give up...

"What if I heal you behind you and you go up to fight it at close range?"

Lan Yulian asked.

Wang Tao shook his head immediately.

"No. I can bear it, but you can't. Your healing range is limited, and you can't be too far away from me..."

Lan Yulian thought about it, and it was different from last time. Last time, the disaster awakening range of the fourth-level disaster-level snake was much smaller, and she could heal others outside the range. But now with such a large range, she can't heal unless she goes deep into it. But if she dares to go deep into it, she may die suddenly...

"What should I do... It's a bit unwilling to give up like this!"

Everyone's face was a little regretful.

After all, the opportunity is rare. This fifth-level disaster-level tree cannot be moved. It is equivalent to a fixed target. If it can't be taken down, it will be a pity.

"Let me think about it..."

Wang Tao still has some good things in his hand, such as a life ring that can store 100,000. This thing is equivalent to a blood pack, but it is not very useful in the face of this level of disaster awakening.

Another example is the Elapse Bracelet that can increase attack power. This thing can increase his attack power by up to 99%, but the side effect is that his health is reduced by 99%... If he wears this bracelet to fight the mutant tree, he will die faster...

"Maybe, we can try these two things..."

Wang Tao looked at the two items.

[Level 5 Weapon·Ironwood Guard]

[Health: 1000000/1000000]

[Status: Sleeping]

[Amplification: Independent attack, automatic defense]

[Compatibility: 100%]

The first one is the Ironwood Guard. After his last test, the 24-hour cooling time has ended.

Although the combat power of biological weapons is equivalent to that of lords of the same level, it cannot be compared to the disaster level, but after all, it has 1 million health, so it should be effective, right?

[Explosive Heart]

[Level 5 (Epic)]

[Durability +1, attack power +1000, explosion 30 seconds after activation (activation requires awakening energy)]

The second one is the Explosive Heart. With a full 1000 attack power, it should be able to cause a lot of damage to the tree, right?

"How do you think about this? I'll arrange the Ironwood Guard first, then I'll use all the means I can to see how much blood I can consume, and finally use this explosive heart to blow it up... If this doesn't work, then we'll leave first and think of a solution later."

Wang Tao said to everyone.

He had explained the [Ironwood Guard] and [Explosive Heart] to everyone before, and everyone knew the effects of these things.

"You can give it a try!"

Most people had no objection, mainly because they couldn't help in a hurry. If it was a sixth-level lord, they could still help fight, but the range and damage of this disaster awakening were too abnormal, and they couldn't get through at all.

But He Jijun suddenly said:

"Something is wrong!"

"What's the problem?"

Wang Tao immediately asked with a serious face.

"Didn't you say that this Ironwood Guard is a melee biological weapon with tenacious life and cannot move? The awakening range of the disaster-level tree is extremely large, and it can absorb the life of other creatures for its own use! Then when the Ironwood Guard faces the disaster-level tree... I'm afraid it will become a blood bag!"

Hearing this, Wang Tao broke out in a cold sweat.

He Jijun was right. The Ironwood Guard could not hit the disaster-level tree if it was far away, but it would definitely be drained of blood by the tree if it was close!

The damage caused by the Ironwood Guard should not be as much as that of the mutant tree. After all, it was a disaster awakening... If there was really a blood pack of 1 million blood, there would be no way to kill it!

"You are right, I didn't consider this. Then there is no need for the Ironwood Guard, just the explosive heart..."

"Well, this should be possible."

After making sure that there was nothing missing this time, Wang Tao came to the mutant tree again.

Zizi——

[-3421]

[...]

Two high-temperature rays were fired immediately, and a string of damage appeared on the mutant tree.

At the same time, a fireball appeared in Wang Tao's hand. The fireball grew bigger and bigger, and then hit the mutant tree directly.

Boom——

[-4293]

[-429]

[……]

The explosion after the fireball was charged was still quite spectacular, but the damage was obviously not worth the special effect.

Logically speaking, the tree should be of wood attribute, and the fire attribute has a bonus to it. But whether it is the high temperature ray or the fireball, Wang Tao feels that the damage has no bonus... Maybe it has a bonus, but it is not obvious?

While Wang Tao was thinking, a ball of black energy appeared in the palm of his right hand, and then flew towards the tree like a bullet.

Whoosh——

[-1523]

[Curse: Blindness]

“……”

Okay, Wang Tao can be sure that the fire attribute does have a bonus. He used the air bullet simulated by the dark attribute to hit the tree, and it only caused 1500 damage...

But there is no problem with the curse state. Even if it is a fifth-order disaster level, the curse can still take effect.

So, Wang Tao immediately gave up the idea of ​​using the fireball, and instead used the high temperature ray to burn it while using the dark air bullet to attack it.

In the blink of an eye, all three curse states were activated, but the curses were very ordinary and had little effect.

For the first time, Wang Tao felt that the curse lasted too long!

He could only let the same enemy trigger three curses, and only when any one curse disappeared could the new curse take effect. What he wanted was naturally [Curse: Kill], but the probability of triggering this curse was too low, so he could only take it slowly.

So, Wang Tao fought a protracted war.

Although the tree could absorb blood, since there was only one life, Wang Tao, within its awakening range, it could only absorb Wang Tao's blood. Wang Tao also deliberately maintained a safe position, and only a few hundred blood was sucked per second, but his attack on the disaster tree was thousands of blood.

In this situation of one gaining and the other losing, the tree's blood volume began to slowly decrease.

However, Wang Tao could not last long. He would come back to rest for a while after attacking for a while, replenish some blood, and then attack again - bullying the disaster tree that could not move.

But the disaster-level tree itself has a strong ability to recover blood. Even if it can't absorb much blood from Wang Tao, he basically recovered a lot of blood.

After a lot of effort, Wang Tao finally consumed 300,000 HP of the disaster tree, and he also consumed a lot of awakening energy.

Just as Wang Tao threw out a dark air bullet and was ready to go back to rest and replenish a wave of energy, he was shocked.

After the roots of the disaster tree squirmed a few times, its body began to move slowly! Although the speed was not fast, it did move towards Wang Tao. Wang Tao lost 100 more HP in an instant.

"Learn to walk?"

If the disaster tree can move, then his rogue style of play will be ineffective!

Just as Wang Tao notified Ding Yuqin to prepare for evacuation, Wang Tao's eyes suddenly lit up.

The dark air bullet he just shot finally hung [Curse: Kill]!

Wang Tao did not hesitate at all, he threw [Explosive Heart] directly!

Whoosh——

Countdown, 29, 28...

Wang Tao immediately ran back, but his eyes never left the disaster tree.

He didn't know how big the range of the exploding heart was, so he had to stay as far away as possible, so he didn't hold the bomb in his hand and waited until the time was up before throwing it.

But he was worried that the disaster-level tree would throw the exploding heart back. Although he felt that the tree should not be so smart, he had to be on guard.

Fortunately, the tree ignored the exploding heart and continued to chase Wang Tao slowly.

"What's the situation now!"

When everyone saw Wang Tao running back and was about to ask, suddenly, they saw a small piece of dazzling light in the distance.

Buzz——

[Self-destructing Heart] exploded.

The sound was not loud, the range was not large, and there was no dangerous aura, but the light was a little dazzling.

Others subconsciously narrowed their eyes, but Wang Tao showed joy in his eyes.

[-622731]

He saw that first a 600,000 damage floated out, which was the explosion damage of [Self-destructing Heart]!

He knew that the damage of the exploding heart was very high, after all, it was a perverted 1000 attack, but this 600,000 damage still surprised Wang Tao.

【-75734】

【0/1000000】

Then a damage of 70,000 appeared, which was the effect of [Curse: Kill]. Finally, the health bar of the disaster-level tree was cleared.

This made Wang Tao feel complicated. With 1 million HP, the curse kill can kill 200,000 HP, but because the opponent's HP was not enough, only more than 70,000 HP were killed. In a way, this is a waste?

"What's going on over there?"

Others only saw a flash of light, and then the movement of the disaster-level tree disappeared, and they didn't know the specific situation.

"Dead! That guy is dead!"

Wang Tao laughed.

"Huh——"

Hearing this, everyone was surprised and relieved at the same time.

"Finally dead!"

"It's too hard to kill!"

"I guess the sixth-level lord is just like this?"

They didn't know how much HP Wang Tao had taken from the disaster-level tree. They only knew that Wang Tao had fought for a long time. It was probably the longest battle Wang Tao had fought recently.

Faced with everyone's sighs, Wang Tao smiled and shook his head.

He had met the sixth-level lord before, and he was sure that dealing with the sixth-level lord was definitely easier than the fifth-level disaster-level lord. Because the huge range of the disaster awakening, its blood-sucking ability, and its own blood-recovery ability are too buggy...

Although Wang Tao is now at the fifth level, he has not fused the fifth-level crystal core to improve his ability. At present, he has also accumulated some fifth-level almighty crystal cores, and it is time to improve his strength.

But now, he must check the spoils first.

The fifth-level disaster level...Wang Tao is looking forward to it!
