Chapter 1210 Abyss Snake Tree
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
The Abyss Chicken suddenly stopped, stared at a big tree opposite, and made an uneasy low cry.
At the same time, the rope tied to the chicken's neck was also dripping, indicating that there was a dangerous creature nearby.
Gao Fei stopped and looked around.
The forest was quiet. Except for small insects, no living creatures could be seen. Why was the alarm ringing?
Could it be...
Gao Fei's sight fell on the big tree opposite.
It can be seen that the Abyss Chicken is very afraid of the big tree and refuses to get close. It seems to have smelled the breath of danger.
The "magic alarm" prompt is likely to be aimed at the big tree.
Although it looks like an ordinary tree, it stands quietly in the forest.
The thick trunk is nearly ten meters high, with dense dark purple branches hanging down. The leaves are as wide as two palms of an adult. The edges of the leaves are serrated and swaying in the wind.
Gao Fei pulled out his pistol, aimed at the trunk, and pulled the trigger tentatively.
Bang!
The gunshot echoed in the dense forest.
A fist-sized crater burst out from the trunk, and a large amount of purple-red liquid splashed out, as if it was bleeding.
The originally quiet tree trembled violently when it was shot, and its willow-like branches swung wildly, like countless long whips waving in the air, making a sharp sonic boom.
The Abyss Chicken hurried back and plunged into the bushes at Gao Fei's feet, trembling with fear.
Gao Fei stared at the crazy tree with a slightly cold look.
He released a wave of telekinesis, remotely controlled the floating giant sickle, approached it, and trimmed the branches of the tree.
Accompanied by a crisp brushing sound, the branches that tried to whip Gao Fei were shaved bald by the "Thunder King Fang", and the broken stubble oozed blood-like juice.
The strange tree obviously had a certain degree of wisdom and could also feel the pain brought by the broken branches. Suddenly, from the depths of the tree canopy, dozens of purple monster snakes were thrown out, baring their fangs and rushing towards Gao Fei.
Gao Fei retreated two steps and remotely controlled the Thunder King Fang to spin in the air, like a huge golden propeller, blocking the front.
The strange snakes that poked their heads out of the tree were cut off by the high-speed rotating blades and twisted back.
It was not until this time that Gao Fei noticed that the tails of these strange snakes were closely connected to the branches.
To be more precise, after the branches bloomed and bore fruit, the ripe fruits hatched out of this strange snake, which together constituted a strange existence that was half plant and half animal.
The strange snake could not leave the tree trunk. The front half of the snake body plus the back half of the branch were only ten meters long in total.
This was the maximum attack range of the strange snake.
They could not reach Gao Fei, and could not break through the defense of Lei Wangya. They were so angry that they opened their mouths and spit venom.
The transparent venom sprayed by the strange snake evaporated immediately when it encountered air and turned into bitter gas.
This poison gas must be harmful to the human body.
Gao Fei had already put on the "warrior mask" and the "iron body" was immune to all toxins. Except for feeling a little choked, there was no stronger discomfort.
The venom of the strange snake comes from the harmful substances that the tree trunk absorbs from the soil where it takes root. The stock is limited. After spraying a few times, it found that Gao Fei did not change his expression, so it stopped wasting venom.
Gao Fei watched the group of snakes retreat back to the treetops in frustration, and nodded thoughtfully.
When he interrogated the ape demon yesterday, he specifically asked about any dangerous creatures in the deep forest.
Gao Fei was sure that the strange tree opposite was the "abyss snake tree" that the ape demon mentioned yesterday.
The chaotic origin of the bottomless abyss seems to have the characteristic of blurring the boundaries of species.
Animals and plants, living things and dead things, there is no clear distinction here. The two can be transformed into each other and can also be integrated.
Similar to the hatching tree, the snake tree is also a unique species on the Wanyuan Plain. It is difficult to tell whether it is a plant or an animal.
In addition to ordinary branches, the snake tree also grows many active branches that resemble venomous snakes, which are used to hunt living things.
These "snake branches" usually curl up and hide at the roots of ordinary branches.
The snake tree is rooted in the ground and cannot move. When it encounters a strong enemy that it cannot deal with with its branches alone, it will release its snake branches and attack with sharp teeth and deadly toxins.
If a creature bitten by a snake tree or simply inhales the venom sprayed by the snake branches, it will be paralyzed and die of heart failure if it fails to pass the Fortitude Save.
The corpse rots under the tree and becomes fertilizer to nourish the snake tree.
Gao Fei retracted the Thunder King Fang, lit the torch, and remotely controlled the torch with the "Mage's Hand" to slowly approach the snake tree.
As if it could feel the approach of the torch and the burning heat wave, the abyss snake tree trembled in fear, and all the exposed snake branches retracted.
Even the ordinary branches twisted to the side away from the torch.
"It seems that the ape demon did not lie to me." Gao Fei understood.
The snake tree is indeed afraid of fire by nature and dares not actively attack passers-by carrying open flames.
Gao Fei remotely controlled the torch, approached the snake tree, and made a gesture to light the branches.
The snake tree could not leave the place where it was rooted, and faced with the approaching torch, it trembled even more violently.
The snake branches that were originally hidden in the tree canopy all emerged, shaking their heads and begging for mercy at Gao Fei, hissing and wailing.
At the same time, Gao Fei received telepathy from the snake tree.
"Please... don't burn me..."
The abyss snake tree has 3 intelligence attributes, which is smarter than ordinary beasts and can have simple mental communication with other intelligent creatures.
"I can spare your life, but you have to be obedient."
Gao Fei controlled the torch to hover in the air, continuously threatening the snake tree, and at the same time made a series of spellcasting gestures to cast "Monster Charm".
Under the threat of the flames, the snake tree did not resist the charm and obediently accepted the olive branch thrown by Gao Fei.
After successfully turning the snake tree into a friend, Gao Fei took the abyss chicken and continued to explore the depths of the forest.
The forest ahead gradually became wider, and low grass grew between the sparse trees, but there was no trace of wild beasts.
The abyss chicken exploring the way ahead suddenly heard a beeping alarm on its neck.
The abyss chicken stopped in confusion, looking left and right, but didn't know where the threat came from.
At this moment, the ground under its feet suddenly cracked, and four huge metal petals emerged from the ground and suddenly closed!
The flower bud was like a tightly closed steel cage, wrapping the unprepared abyss chicken in it.
Gao Fei heard the movement and immediately put on the "Druid Mask" and transformed into a wind element to fly into the air to protect himself from attacks from underground.
Suspended in mid-air and looking down, the part of the monster that trapped the Abyss Chicken that was exposed above the ground was made up of four curved metal plates that looked like lotus petals.
The metal plates seemed to be made of steel, with rust stains on the outer shell and dried blood.
Through the gaps between the plates, Gao Fei could see that the inside was inlaid with dense spikes of varying lengths.
When this huge steel lotus closed, the spikes on the inside of the petals pierced the prey, piercing the unfortunate Abyss Chicken with holes all over it, and it died before it could even scream.
