2132 The forest of fire monsters (1)
At the moment when the strange tree branch attacked, a light flashed in Tang Zhen’s hand and a long battle blade appeared out of thin air.
As Tang Zhen brandished his battle blade, it streaked across the surroundings, dragging out numerous dangerous streams of light.
At this moment, the space had been sealed by the saber radiance, and almost no water could enter.
As the light danced, the branches that pounced towards Tang Zhen were cut off one after another. A stinky liquid spurted out from the cut, and the smell was extremely unpleasant.
The branch that was cut off twisted in all directions like a snake. A mouth-like thing actually appeared at the end of the branch and bit at Tang Zhen.
Although they were not snakes or insects, they were definitely more poisonous than real snakes or insects.
As for the trees, perhaps they felt the pain, they writhed even more violently, and their branches waved even more wildly.
Some of the trees even pulled their roots out of the ground when they were wriggling, dragging along the stinky mud and throwing it at Tang Zhen.
There were also some small saplings with their roots intertwining at a rapid speed. They were like agile octopuses scurrying around as they surrounded Tang Zhen in an attempt to launch a sneak attack.
Only at this moment did Tang Zhen notice that there was actually a head-like thing hidden under the roots of the huge tree.
This caused the strange tree to look like a huge carrot. Furthermore, it had complete facial features and a strange and sinister expression.
The head was the size of a house, and when it was exposed, it was chewing something.
From time to time, tentacles would leak out of its mouth. When Tang Zhen saw this, he came to a sudden realization. It turned out that the tentacle that had grabbed the seed was actually the monster itself.
While they laid their eggs, they also devoured the eggs of other strange trees. They were truly incomparably brutal.
While Tang Zhen was observing the strange tree, the head under the strange tree suddenly opened its mouth and spat out mud arrows at Tang Zhen.
At the same time as they attacked, these strange trees were also constantly moving their positions in an attempt to surround Tang Zhen.
It was obvious that on this swamp-like sea, these strange trees could move freely, not just fixed in one place.
There were many strange trees. At this moment, Tang Zhen was being attacked from all directions. There was almost no place for him to hide. His situation was extremely precarious.
“Is this all you have?”
Tang Zhen, who was in the middle, suddenly let out an explosive cry. White-colored flames rose from the surface of his body.
The white flame didn’t have any temperature, but its power couldn’t be compared to ordinary flames. Once touched by the flame, the body and soul would be turned into ashes.
As soon as those branches touched Tang Zhen’s body, they began to burn intensely. Then, they retracted as if they were electrocuted.
The fire spread along the branches and went straight to the trunk, wrapping the strange tree in the blink of an eye.
The burning trees let out strange squeaking sounds and whipped the ground with all their might, trying to put out the flames.
Who knew that this flame couldn’t be extinguished at all? even the mud on the ground started to burn after it touched it.
It was as if this wasn’t mud, but burning heavy oil that would burn when it came into contact with fire.
In just an instant, Tang Zhen’s surroundings had turned into a sea of fire. Moving fireballs were everywhere.
The ignited tree sank into the mud, trying to put out the fire, but it quickly rushed out again, screaming and running.
Even the sticky mud could not stop the fire from burning. Instead, it became more and more intense.
There were flames everywhere, and there was almost no place to hide.
Those strange trees that were far away from Tang Zhen were also affected by the burning fireball and were instantly engulfed by the flames.
The surroundings were in chaos. Tang Zhen slowly moved forward in the sea of fire. No monster dared to stop him.
The burning flames couldn’t hurt him at all. On the contrary, mist rose around his body, as if he was extremely excited.
This white flame seemed to have intelligence.
The pitch-black sky was now reflecting brilliant colors due to the illumination of the blazing flames.
It was a hidden spatial Rift that was originally invisible to the naked eye, but now it was revealed under the illumination of the fire.
Of course, it was useless for Tang Zhen to reveal the spatial crack. If he was unable to solve the problem of his energy being consumed at a crazy rate, he could only continue to advance on foot.
“Why don’t we grab a Mount to save some energy?”
This thought flashed in Tang Zhen’s heart. He randomly grabbed at the empty air and a strange running tree by the side was fixed in place.
The strange tree emitted a “Zhi Zhi” sound. No matter how it struggled, it was unable to escape from Tang Zhen’s control.
Seeing that it was unable to break free, the strange tree subconsciously wanted to attack Tang Zhen. Its branches shot over like arrows.
“You still dare to struggle?”
Tang Zhen raised his hand. A cluster of white flames rose from his hand, appearing completely unremarkable.
But in the next moment, the ball of fire shot out and landed on a strange tree nearby.
The strange tree was hit by the fireball and immediately became an even bigger fireball. It screamed and turned into ashes.
“If you don’t behave yourself, this will be your end!”
Tang Zhen coldly said. The strange tree seemed to understand Tang Zhen’s meaning as it was so frightened that its trunk kept trembling.
Indistinctly, a faint trace of spiritual energy was transmitted over, containing fear and submission.
Tang Zhen had already seen that these strange trees were definitely not real plants. Instead, they were a special type of sea monster.
In this strange sea, there were very few plants. Even if there were, the monsters would have already destroyed them.
However, in the boundless ocean of the divine Kingdom, there were indeed plants, and they were very powerful plants.
Tang Zhen had once heard someone mention that there were strong believers who had encountered giant underwater vines that were ten thousand meters long in the deep sea.
Giant fruits with a diameter of nearly 100 meters grew on these giant vines. Occasionally, ripe fruits would fall off and float to the sea.
The fruit would float on the surface of the sea for a period of time. After being exposed to the wind and sun, it would automatically explode and the seeds inside would be scattered into the ocean.
The density of the seed was extremely high and it would sink into the water very quickly. The monster could not bite through it at all.
It wouldn’t take long for new giant vines to appear and slowly grow into behemoths.
Like sea monsters, they were parasites of the God’s kingdom, but there was no reward for killing them.
As for the remaining fruit shells, they were the best natural ships. With a little modification, they could carry many strong believers.
In the deep sea, many believers and powerhouses used this kind of giant fruit shell as their means of transportation.
It looked unremarkable, but it didn’t rot for thousands of years, far better than ordinary wooden ships.
As for the skeletal warship that Tang Zhen had seen before, he would only be able to encounter it by chance. Although its defensive power was stronger, it would require more time to modify.
In addition to these giant undersea vines, there were also plants similar to man-eating flowers in some waters. Once a sea monster passed by, it would automatically prey on it.
These plants had the means to fight against sea monsters. Otherwise, they would not have been able to survive in an environment where monsters were rampant.
Seeing that the strange tree had already submitted, Tang Zhen did not waste any more time and directly jumped to the top of the strange tree.
run forward with all your might. If you dare to slack off, I’ll burn you down!
Tang Zhen’s mental energy swept across the strange tree and transmitted his thoughts over. The strange tree immediately understood Tang Zhen’s intention and rushed forward like a mad man.
