The tree that seemed to grow in hell shocked Ji Zhan greatly. Its roots were entangled in a huge pit several meters deep. The pit was full of corpses, and the dark green trunk was crowded with human faces.
The growing branches stretched out wantonly, and even penetrated into the surrounding stone walls. Fruits half a man's height fell on the branches in rows. The distance from the ground was nearly fifteen meters, which is a height that humans have to desperately look up.
There are indeed a large number of fire stones in this mountain, and the heat provided by these fire stones perfectly isolates the cold wave from the outside world, providing a suitable growth environment for this human tree.
The human tree in front of me is far larger than the one I encountered in the building complex before. The fire source stones embedded in the surrounding stone walls shine with red light, like sparks of fire, giving this human tree a unique character.
A feeling of bloody cruelty.
Ji Zhan lowered his eyes and saw that the humanoid monsters gathered under the tree had a tube extending from their bodies, and the other end of the tube was connected to the roots of the tree, as if they were establishing some kind of connection.
The humanoid monsters have discovered Ji Zhan and are starting to move.
Ji Zhan had no sympathy or pity for such disgusting things. He pulled the trigger, and the blue beam of light rushed out from the muzzle of the quantum gun.
Humanoid monsters screamed in the blue remaining fire. These humanoid monsters below were not what Ji Zhan was most worried about.
What Ji Zhan is most worried about is the fruits above.
There are more than a hundred fruits hanging on the branches, but one is very special, and the difference can be seen at a glance.
The fruits on the human tree are more like the shape of insect cocoons. They are half a person tall. They are all turbid green in appearance, but there is only one fruit hidden in the innermost part——
It's red.
Ji Zhan did not dare to smash the fruit on it easily. She adjusted the firepower of the hand-held cannon to the maximum, obviously intending to kill the human tree in front of her in one go.
To put it bluntly, this human tree is just a mother monster. As long as the mother monster dies, the little monsters that are bred will not survive.
However, just when Ji Zhan had eliminated all the humanoid monsters below and was about to aim at the tree trunk, a "pop" sound came from above his head.
The mucus inside the red fruit leaked out from the crack, and a ball of stuff also slid down, falling from the top of the tree more than ten meters high to the ground.
"Gudong..."
There was a sound like a beating heart, and the bloody thing was completely covered by a film. The next moment, the thing inside broke through the film and crawled out.
When Ji Zhan saw the monster's face clearly, his pupils tightened, and the quantum gun that had accumulated power in his hand subconsciously deviated from its original trajectory, and instead headed straight for the newborn thing.
In an instant, dust rose and gravel flew.
Ji Zhan's heart was beating very fast, and she stared at the slowly dissipating smoke.
Then a human-shaped shadow slowly walked out of the smoke.
If the deformed bodies of the previous humanoid monsters were because they were not fully developed, then the monster standing in front of Ji Zhan now was bred after absorbing sufficient nutrients.
Its body is almost the same as that of humans, except that its skin is abnormally white, and there are several large areas of rotten flesh on the exposed skin.
But the reason why Ji Zhan just gave up attacking the crystal core of the parent monster and attacked this humanoid monster first——
It's because this humanoid monster replicated her appearance.
Yes, this humanoid monster is pressing against Ji Zhan's face at this moment. Although there are still some imperfections, Ji Zhan can tell that it is her appearance. Even the length of her hair is the same, but her gray-white eyes can
Let people easily distinguish it from humans.
The humanoid monster stood under a tree with piles of corpses. It lowered its head and seemed to be looking at its own body curiously. Then it took off a piece of clothing from a withered skeleton and put it on in a funny way.
Ji Zhan's breath suffocated. This monster has its own thoughts...
Can't!
Such monsters cannot exist!
The only thing humans have in front of monsters is wisdom. If monsters start to evolve their own thinking, human civilization will one day be covered up in the future.
There was ferocity in Ji Zhan's eyes, and the gun in her hand that was turned on to maximum firepower shot out ultra-high-temperature light waves.
The humanoid monster below realized the danger and ran extremely fast out of Ji Zhan's attack range. Although its appearance was almost the same as that of a human being, except for its appearance, it had not completely replicated humans in other aspects.
.
After feeling threatened at this moment, the face of the humanoid monster became ferocious and terrifying. It also ran on all fours, and after catching Ji Zhan's target, it rushed towards Ji Zhan at an extremely fast speed.
Ji Zhan saw the humanoid monster coming towards her, but she did not release the trigger at this moment. Instead, she directly used the power of the quantum cannon to sweep towards the human tree, like a saw.
Once the mother body dies, everything is over.
However, the human tree also responded. It instantly wrapped the trunk with a large number of vines, delaying the damage caused by the power of the quantum cannon.
The fruits on the branches burst open one after another, and new humanoid monsters fell down, and they all pounced on Ji Zhan.
The quantum gun in Ji Zhan's hand emitted almost overloaded energy, and the continuous high-power output caused the weight of the gun to rise rapidly.
Suddenly, an outstretched hand grabbed Ji Zhan's ankle and dragged Ji Zhan down from it.
Ji Zhan slid down the pit and untied the quantum gun at the same time. Without the weight of the quantum gun, Ji Zhan pulled out the short knife from his waist and held it in his hand.
Ji Zhan jumped down as the monster grabbed her ankle and pulled her down, and killed a humanoid monster with a short knife.
However, before she could relax, a strong wind hit her from the front.
Ji Zhan leaned back, staring in astonishment at the humanoid monster that copied her appearance. Its gray-white eyes were hollow, and it was obviously not a human but it still had a human face!
Ji Zhan raised his foot and kicked it towards it. However, the monster in front of him did not dodge like the previous monsters. Instead, when Ji Zhan's calf swept over, he raised his arm to block it, minimizing the damage.
Such a sense of fighting made Ji Zhan wonder for a moment whether it was the monster that had copied her, or the monster's self-awareness after taking control of the human-like body...
Ji Zhan gritted his teeth, not giving the monster any chance to breathe, and swung the short knife towards its face.
The monster dodges nimbly, and even when Ji Zhan presses hard, it can find an opening to counterattack, and then gradually takes the initiative to attack.
With other monsters in the way and the burden on his heart, Ji Zhan's situation became a little passive at this moment.
While Ji Zhan turned from offense to defense, he slowly calmed down and began to gather his mental strength.
Use the spiritual power to get rid of them all at once. This is Ji Zhan's plan.
