Epoch of Twilight

This locust tree is huge in size, and its underground root system extends in all directions.

When these tree roots were pulled up from the ground, the entire area of ​​hundreds of meters was completely occupied by tree roots, except for a few main roots that were still stuck on the ground. At first glance, it seemed that there were countless tentacles waving in the air.

Luo Yuan, who was full of anger, his sanity had been reduced to the lowest point. Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed into the attack circle of tree roots with a long knife. In an instant, countless dense tree roots suddenly burst into flames like a giant snake whose tail was trampled on. Get up, and Xiang Luo Yuan starts to attack crazily.

The surrounding wind howled, the sand splashed, and even a few boulders of hundreds of kilograms were tumbling around under the shaking of the tree roots, and the momentum was astonishing.

If ordinary people were in it, even if they hadn't been smashed into meat paste by tree roots, they would probably be shot through thousands of holes by the dense bullet-like stones that filled the entire space, turning them into a puddle of meat paste.

Even Luo Yuan couldn't dodge being hit by a few stones at an astonishing speed for a while, but was instantly bounced off by the film of will on his surface.

The film of will on his body was dim compared to the light on the blade, and it was countless times thinner than soap bubbles, as if it could be broken by blowing or shattering when it was touched, and the naked eye would not be able to detect it unless it was at night. But it is such a faint film, even if it is hit by a high-speed stone, it only dims a little, and it only restores the previous brightness in a snap of the fingers.

However, Luo Yuan, who was in the middle of the battle at this time, could not be distracted. His eyes were sharp, and he was moving forward. Under the impenetrable tree roots, he moved and jumped like an ape, dancing like a saber, impenetrable.

These tree roots were broken at the touch of the sharp knife, and cracked next to each other. The thick roots fell from behind him, twitching non-stop.

As Luo Yuan moved forward step by step, more and more tree roots were cut off behind him, and the distance between the two slowly but firmly approached.

Perhaps because it sensed that a catastrophe was imminent, the locust tree became more irritable and restless. It vigorously waved the remaining roots and attacked frantically. Because of the reduction of the roots, the whole locust tree could no longer maintain its balance. On the right, the huge canopy shakes violently in the air and makes a rustling sound.

At this moment, on the main trunk of the locust tree, the eyes of that rough face seemed to be slightly cracked, as if the eyes that were originally closed were suddenly opened, and there was a faint gleam in the eyes.

Luo Yuan's heart throbbed suddenly, and he couldn't even maintain his anger for a while. He only felt an indescribable sense of crisis rising from his heart, and there was no way to avoid it, and his whole body froze instantly.

The next moment, a silent scream crossed the space and instantly hit his body in the form of an invisible ripple. The film of will on his surface instantly shattered upon contact, and immediately after that his mind went blank and he lost consciousness.

...

I don't know how long it took, but he slowly woke up.

He quickly looked around vigilantly, and in fear, he didn't care about the attack for a moment and retreated again and again, quickly exiting the attack range of this locust tree.

Then he looked at the locust tree, with a hint of surprise on his face.

I saw that the locust tree was motionless, as if the attack just now had exhausted all its energy. On the exposed grass with countless roots scattered here and there, these tree trunks were slowly wriggling, and they were going underground. However, compared with the violent attack just now, this speed seems weak.

Even the originally lush leaves have started to turn yellow and fluttered down from the midair. In a short period of time, this locust tree seems to be on the verge of dying.

Seeing this scene, Luo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little scared in his heart.

This time is really too thrilling, if reason is still there, how can I be so reckless?

Thinking that he had already eaten one of its attacks, he was still not vigilant.

It seems that although the use of anger can improve the combat power for a while, it has given up the greatest advantages of human beings in the last days-wisdom and prudence, and instead put itself in an extremely dangerous situation. , I am afraid that he is already a puddle of flesh and blood, and even his soul will be enslaved by the locust tree after death, becoming a part of the other party.

Facing such a slow-moving plant-like mutant creature, maybe a barrel of gasoline can easily solve it.

Thinking of it now, he felt a little terrified.

But what happened to the attack just now? It seemed to be a direct attack on the soul. Even the surface film of will couldn't stop it for a moment, and it was directly attacked into the mind. Even now that he has regained consciousness, his brain is still groggy as if it has been stirred into a mess.

Luo Yuan thought in his heart that he had seen ghosts, and he was already convinced of the existence of souls.

At this time, he felt his nostrils itchy, touched it with his hand, and it turned out to be bloody, and then he found that not only his nostrils, but also his ears and eyes were bleeding.

With a look of astonishment on his face, he walked a few steps carefully, and found that his movements were normal, his hands and feet responded flexibly, and his vision and hearing were not lost, so he was a little relieved.

He rested for a while, and finally looked at the locust tree again: "It should be resolved."

This huge locust tree seemed to be able to feel Luo Yuan's malicious eyes, and his body shook involuntarily. The roots that were about to be inserted into the ground were slowly pulled out again, but it seemed powerless.

Luo Yuan smiled coldly, and walked forward step by step. A few nearby tree roots flicked weakly, and then resigned to fate and gave up.

The blurred face in the center of the tree trunk changed gradually, and finally showed an anthropomorphic begging expression, and the whole treetop made a soft rustling sound.

Unmoved, Luo Yuan picked up the saber, his speed suddenly increased, and he slashed hard at the tree trunk!

The deep-blue horse-cutting knife was extremely sharp, as if cutting into tofu, and passed through smoothly without causing the slightest hindrance.

The trunk shook violently. Under the stimulation of death, the surrounding roots stimulated their final potential and began to twitch violently. Several roots even wanted to fight back, but they were easily cut off by Luo Yuan one by one. He didn't dare to delay for a long time. , so as not to have any surprises.

Under the continuous slashing by the war horse and sword, this huge locust tree like a skyscraper finally fell down, completely crushing a nearby half-collapsed building, causing a small earthquake on the ground.

After Luo Yuan waited for more than ten seconds, a series of prompts for the completion of the task sounded:

"Di, E-level task: E-level task, to find and eliminate the cause of the disappearance of Jingyue Community has been completed. Task completion time: seven hours and thirty-six minutes; task rating: good!"

"Reward basic experience value +1600!"

"Evaluation: Average, experience value +800!"

"Experience: 4300/19200!"

Luo Yuan looked at the current experience value and sighed. There is still a long way to go before upgrading, and this experience is only a fraction.

Leveling up is getting slower and slower now. If you want to level up to level eight, you need to complete at least six or seven E-level tasks even if every task has a good evaluation. If it is dark blue...

He quickly dispelled this dangerous thought, which was simply courting death.

Even a blue-level mutant beast was bumped and bumped, and he was seriously injured if he was not careful, not to mention those dark blue-level overlords. Thinking about the dark blue-level mutant creatures he encountered before, his scalp felt numb!

Just as Luo Yuan was about to go back to sleep, he saw something glowing in the trunk of the fallen pagoda tree out of the corner of his eye.

He walked over suspiciously, and found that the light source was located a little deeper in the center of the trunk, and the nearby wood looked particularly deadly, completely different from other places. If it had been cut a little higher, he might have cut it off directly. Curious in his heart, he picked up the knife and dug carefully.

No matter how deadly the wood is, it is still so weak under the dark blue saber. As the surrounding wood was cut off one by one by Luo Yuan, a green crystal the size of a pigeon egg soon fell into his palm.

The whole body of this crystal is round, with a light dark mysterious pattern on the surface, it looks like a finely carved jadeite.

But it looks more green, green is full of vitality, and the whole body emits a shimmer, even though it is dark outside, it still emits a transparent green light.

Holding this round crystal, Luo Yuan suddenly found that his heart was peaceful, his whole soul seemed to be soaked in warm water to continuously nourish him, and even his previously drowsy mind seemed to gradually clear up.

Feeling the abnormality of his body, he immediately realized that this thing was not simple, so he quickly used an identification technique.

"The Heart of the Ghost Tree"

"Rarity: Blue."

"Weight: 100g."

"Texture: soul-like active spar."

"Additional abilities: will +1, perception +1"

"Evaluation: This is a rare active spar. Its value far exceeds its evaluation. As long as you carry it with you, it can speed up the recovery of consumed will and perception, and play a bonus role."

Although the information was simple, Luo Yuan chewed it several times.

Only then did he notice that his perception has unknowingly increased a lot, from the original 20 meters to a radius of 30 meters, and the perception is clearer and more nuanced. It is vividly reflected in my heart.

The will is not easy to experiment, after all, most of it has been consumed before, but there is no such thing as uncontrollable thoughts when the will is greatly consumed before.

What is ecstasy, Luo Yuan is ecstasy at this moment, even though he tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, he couldn't help but smile at this moment.

However, sitting in meditation for a long time is not in vain. After a while, my heart completely calmed down.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that there were still a few people lying not far away before. The situation was urgent at that time, and there was no good way, so he had to knock them out one by one. Then Luo Yuan was besieged by ghosts, and he couldn't take care of them for a while. So much so that they are still lying outside now, hoping that they will survive this time and escape this catastrophe.

Luo Yuan walked over quickly, and soon saw several people lying on the ground. Perhaps it was the reason for the fierce fighting here. The surrounding low-level mutant beasts had already avoided this area far away. They were all lucky. safe and sound.

Luo Yuan woke them up one by one, and when they woke up with confused faces, they found that they were not in the familiar basement, but in the dark wilderness, except for Ning Xiaoran who had the "experience" during the day Some, and the rest of them were quite frightened, they obviously collapsed, and a few women even screamed again and again.

Luo Yuan couldn't stand it anymore, and snorted coldly:

"Looking at the performance of each of you, I can only say that it is luck to survive until now, but this luck may always revolve around you. You are lucky today, because I followed. If I don't follow, you I'm afraid it's already in the belly of the mutant beast."

"If you are afraid, then bear with me. If you really can't help it, then wipe your neck with a knife, because wanting to continue to live is more terrifying than dying." Luo Yuan will not be as gentle to them as he is to Wang Shishi.

After all, he is not a charity, and he has no obligation to support these people for nothing. In fact, he doesn't expect these people to be able to bring them much help, and raising them is only a moral influence before the end of the world.

But at least it can't hold back. In a situation like today, the ghost locust tree exerted its ability a little, and the whole army was wiped out in one fell swoop. Thinking about it now, as long as the will is a little stronger, it should be able to resist this invisible fascination, but no one can hold on.

Even Wang Shishi, who is an evolutionary, was also recruited. This is really...

However, considering that Wang Shishi is still a minor, it is understandable that he is immature.

But several adults have behaved like this, and it cannot but be said that they are too fragile, and their lives before the end of the world have corroded their bodies and minds. If they continued to behave this badly, he would have to harden his heart and drive them away.

Hearing Luo Yuan's cold voice, there was a sudden silence around.
