Immortal Space: Chapter 396 dig a tree
Chapter 396 Digging Trees
For this task, the monks who participated will receive generous rewards from the sect according to how much they harvest.
But the rewards are generous, but sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing. In this secret realm, without supervision, the dark side of human nature will be magnified accordingly.
If the same sects kill each other in order to compete for the elixir, what will be lost is the overall strength of Qing Xuzong, and the efficiency of this operation will be reduced.
If there is no effective way, it should be inevitable for this kind of thing to happen.
Because in this secret realm, even if you violated the regulations and killed your fellow disciples, as long as you can clean up your hands and keep the matter from leaking, you can rest easy.
But this time, the senior officials of Qing Xuzong also thought of a clever way.
In order to prevent members of the same sect from killing each other in order to compete for treasures, the monks who collected the elixir all took actions in groups.
Each group of ten people takes action collectively, and the ten people who are temporarily combined will definitely not be able to reach a consensus in a short time and advance and retreat together.
And in the presence of others, it is not easy to have a dark psychology.
At the same time, if anyone wants to kill ten people in a group at the same time, it will be very difficult to leave no one alive.
Since the action is taken in groups, when the credit is finally recorded, it can only be done in teams.
Wang Hong and his group of ten people, during the search, occasionally encounter some monsters, but the monsters here only have a first-level cultivation. When encountering them, it's like sending yourself to the door to seek abuse.
Although they can only use the Qi training period, they are not something these first-order monsters can easily bully.
When they found the first demon-hunting tree, they found that there were more than a dozen monsters of various kinds guarding the periphery of the demon-hunting tree.
When they saw another group of monsters with only two legs coming, although they were upset, they didn't take it too seriously.
Because they have already formed a habit here, everyone lives together peacefully, and will not fight each other until the seeds of the hunting tree appear.
Several monks saw this scene, and prepared to sacrifice their magical weapons to attack.
"Wait a minute!" Wang Hong quietly stopped the crowd, "Let's go straight over, these monsters don't know how to attack, why don't we make a surprise attack when we get to them."
Wang Hong is the temporary captain of this team. Since he spoke, everyone naturally obeyed.
There are more than a dozen monsters in this group. Although they cannot be promoted to the second level, because they have eaten the seeds of the hunting tree for a long time, their physical bodies are very strong, and they will be a little troublesome to deal with.
When they approached quietly according to Wang Hongzhi's words, these monsters really didn't respond.
Wang Hong approached a demon wolf, took advantage of its unpreparedness, and punched the wolf on the head with a bang, the skull shattered, and the wolf fell down.
Although his cultivation was restricted, his physical strength was not affected.
Others also quietly took action at this time, launching sneak attacks on these monsters one after another.
Some of them succeeded in sneak attacking, while some monsters avoided the sneak attack. After a few roars, the remaining eight monsters all rushed towards them.
Since the sneak attack was unsuccessful, the ten people could only sacrifice their magical weapons and launch a strong attack.
At this time, they realized that these monsters are different from ordinary first-order monsters, and they are all extremely powerful in flesh.
Ordinary magical artifacts can't do much damage to them, but if they sacrifice spiritual artifacts, the intensity of mana fluctuations cannot exceed the scope of the Qi training period.
This made everyone feel dizzy. At this moment, they found that Wang Hong was actually holding a long gun and rushed directly into the group of monsters.
"Did he die?"
"Knowing that these monsters are physically strong, why do you want to rush in and seek death?"
"Even if it is a foundation-building cultivator, the physical strength is still unable to compete with these first-order monsters."
However, at this moment, Wang Hong rushed into the herd of beasts one by one, and a black ape rushed to him first, but was swept away by his long spear, and was cut in two chest-length.
The spear continued to move forward, piercing the head of an iron-headed beast.
At this time, the other nine people in the team discovered that Wang Hong was a body cultivator who could crush these monsters with his physical strength.
After Wang Hong killed all the remaining eight monsters, they had time to carefully look at this monster hunting tree.
The trunk of this demon hunting tree is more than a foot in diameter, with dense branches, and some giant cocoons that are entangled with branches hang on it.
Before they came, they naturally knew the characteristics of this tree, knowing that its branches would attack any creature that approached.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, what should we do next?"
In fact, human monks still have some ways to deal with this kind of monster hunting tree.
For example, sacrifice a magic weapon and attack far away from the branch attack range until all the branches are knocked out.
It's just that Qing Xuzong needs to keep the branches as much as possible this time, so as not to damage the hunting demon tree too much.
Because the demon hunting tree is to be dug back for use, if you cut off all the branches, it will be useless to plant a stump there.
So this task requires that the demon hunting tree be preserved as complete as possible. When calculating the final credit, in addition to the number of demon hunting trees, the completeness of the tree shape is also included.
At this time, a monk picked up a monster that had just been killed, and tentatively threw it at the monster hunting tree.
Right away, you can see that the originally quiet branches of the hunting monster tree suddenly seem to come alive, entwining towards the monster together.
In just a few breaths, the corpse of the monster was wrapped into a cocoon.
Seeing this situation, no one dared to act rashly.
Now want to dig it out. It is necessary to go to the root of the tree to dig, but people may have been taken to the sky by the branches before reaching the root of the tree.
"I wonder if fellow daoists have any good strategies?" Wang Hong asked the others. He came in a hurry this time and did not make any preparations.
However, the nine people around looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously there was nothing good to do.
"It's really not possible, we might as well cut off all its branches with a flying sword from a distance." Hearing Wang Hong's question, a monk said helplessly after racking his brains.
"Although this method is feasible, it should be the last choice in desperation, because it takes a long time for the cut branches to grow back.
I want to try this out and see if it works. "
Wang Hong thought for a while, and took out a net from the storage bag.
This is the product of his failed refining before. It is just a low-grade spiritual weapon, but it is just right to use it now.
If it was a spirit weapon that was too high in grade, with the meager spiritual power he could mobilize now, he probably wouldn't be able to sacrifice it.
After Wang Hong input mana into the spirit net, the net instantly became larger and enveloped towards the demon hunting tree.
The demon-hunting tree sensed that the big net was enveloping its head, and raised its branches to meet it, but they were all caught by the big net.
Then the large net shrank, and finally bound the demon hunting tree so tightly that it could no longer move.
