Chapter 280
Watching, people on both sides began to argue.
Qiu Yating’s eyes once again showed a look of helplessness.
This was the downside of a territory with over a dozen Lords…
To be honest, they were all teenagers of seventeen or eighteen.
Making Qiu Yating the team leader was due to her role as class president.
But now, it was clear they did not quite acknowledge Qiu Yating’s leadership.
Helplessly, Qiu Yating had them vote to decide.
Either continue forward or turn back…
…
At this moment, Cao Xing continued to walk in the forest.
As mentioned earlier, the lives of those survivors were no longer his concern after fulfilling the agreement.
However, he took the opportunity to clear out some fools.
This event caused them no psychological disturbance, including Liu Muxue, who was watching her surroundings warily.
They continued their search in the forest.
At this time, Renice pointed ahead and said, “Lord, there are also a few Ice Phoenix Flowers over there!”
Cao Xing’s interest was piqued, and following Renice’s direction, he indeed saw several Ice Phoenix Flowers growing beside a giant tree!
This giant tree was bigger than any they had seen before.
And below, at least a dozen Ice Phoenix Flowers were growing.
Just as Cao Xing was about to approach.
A thick branch shot over in an instant!
But the previous waves of battles had given everyone some experience.
They instantly realized that there might be an Ice Crystal Human-faced Tree nearby!
Blom leaped with a Leap Guardian, jumping directly in front of Cao Xing.
Bang!
The branch slammed onto his shield.
But it only shattered a layer of Holy Shield.
Blom laughed heartily.
“With me here, don’t even think about harming the Lord.”
The Human-faced Tree, seeing its strike failed, began to dance its branches wildly.
Not only that, but more Human-faced Trees nearby also awakened.
Cao Xing then saw the giant tree hundreds of meters tall slowly turning its body.
“Crack! Crack!”
The sound of breaking branches echoed continuously.
On the trunk, a face twisted in agony appeared.
Meanwhile, others promptly entered combat mode.
Cao Xing glanced at this Human-faced Tree’s attributes.
[Ice Crystal Human-faced Tree Guard]
[Race: Human-faced Tree]
[Level: Level 28 Third-tier Elite Level Creature]
[Blood Volume: 22,150/22,150]
[Attack Power: 1132~1178]
[Skills: Strong Branches, Extreme Cold Touch, Extreme Cold Chaotic Dance (same attributes as above) Blood Sucking Vine (extends multiple vines to bind the enemy for 1~20 seconds, sucking 1% of the enemy’s life per second through the vines, cooling time 5 minutes).]
[Talent ①: Longevity]
[Talent ②: Vitality]
[Bonds: Human-faced Tree (20 activated)]
…
“Ah, an Elite Level Human-faced Tree?”
Cao Xing’s eyes brightened.
No wonder this Human-faced Tree looked taller, and its branches appeared thicker and tougher.
“An Elite Level Human-faced Tree should drop higher-grade items, right?”
Thinking about this, Cao Xing became expectant.
Then he directly ordered, “Destroy it.”
With the order, Cao Xing’s eight Generals, plus a Mammoth, all charged forward.
He himself entered the Demon Transformation state.
He continuously hurled fire balls of Evil Thought Fire, then started a barrage of attacks.
Boom! Boom boom!
[-554]
[-532]
[-517]
Despite the defensive reduction of these Human-faced Trees, significant damage was still caused.
When his spiritual power ran low, Cao Xing simply took out a drop of Tree Liquid and drank it.
The refreshing taste immediately rushed to his head, making him feel vibrant again!
Every time those branches tried to attack Cao Xing, they were either intercepted by Liu Muxue or blocked by the Holy Shield on Cao Xing, leaving him unscathed.
A few minutes later, the dozen or so Human-faced Trees here were all taken down by Cao Xing and his group.
Cao Xing exited the Demon Transformation state.
Eagerly, he went under the Elite Human-faced Tree, picking up everything from the ground.
[Obtained: Elite Human-faced Tree Tree Heart (Blue) *1]
[Obtained: Elite Human-faced Tree Bark (Blue) *1]
[Obtained: Mid-grade Tree Liquid (Blue) *7]
[Obtained: Intermediate Elemental Crystal *3]
[Obtained: Medium Power Book *1]
…
“Haha! Sure enough, the materials dropped from an Elite Level Human-faced Tree are of higher grade!”
Cao Xing did not hurry to examine them.
Instead, he first gathered up all the Ice Phoenix Flowers from the ground.
With each Ice Phoenix Flower he dug up along with the surrounding frozen soil, he put them all into his backpack.
[Obtained Ice Phoenix Flower (Blue) *13]
Cao Xing clapped his hands.
Looking at his backpack, the quantity of Ice Phoenix Flowers had reached 27.
This time’s harvest was quite decent.
Then, Cao Xing had Assam and others chop down the tree vines from the Elite Human-faced Tree first.
Compared to ordinary Human-faced Trees, the vines of an Elite Human-faced Tree were indeed more resilient.
Assam even needed to use two or three slashes to cut through one vine.
Moments later, over a hundred vines had fallen to the ground.
He stepped forward and collected them all.
[Obtained: Strong Human-faced Tree Vine (Blue) *87]
“Not bad, not bad; these vines are thicker and longer!”
“87 vines, stretching over a thousand meters in total!”
Then, he began to examine the attributes of the materials he just acquired.
[Elite Human-faced Tree Tree Heart (Blue): A tree heart containing a large amount of life force]
[Effect 1: Increases Life Limit by 500 points upon consumption, effective once only]
[Effect 2: Speeds up growth time for some Magic Plants or Special Creatures, between 1~3 years.]
…
[Elite Human-faced Tree Bark (Blue): A flexible material containing some of the Human-faced Tree’s Life Aura.]
