Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Chapter 484: Chapter 212: Iron Tree_2

But in that instant, much could be done!

Wang Tao dashed to the side of the Big Tree Monster, lifted his Bone Knife, and began to hack away madly. There was almost no technique involved, just brute force!

[25808/50000]

In three seconds, Wang Tao had struck six blows, chopping off half of the Big Tree Monster’s HP.

Then, without the slightest hint of hesitation, Wang Tao decisively retreated.

Bang!

The moment his front foot left, countless tendrils followed suit, smashing down where Wang Tao had just stood, creating a large pit on the spot.

Wang Tao was retreating towards Jiang Shixue’s location and soon saw her lying amidst the ruins.

[14506/29999]

Jiang Shixue also had half her HP depleted.

“Cough…”

Jiang Shixue climbed out of the rubble, and though she was covered in wounds, there was no expression of pain on her face.

Wang Tao quickly picked her up and swiftly moved away from the battlefield.

The Big Tree Monster seemed to be in a frenzy, indiscriminately attacking everything around it.

“It seems like it can’t find us anymore…”

Wang Tao said, holding Jiang Shixue atop a pile of rubble.

This pile of rubble had just been smashed out by the Big Tree Monster, and everything around them had been destroyed, including the surrounding plants.

The Big Tree Monster had no eyes; it seemed to locate Wang Tao through its Perception.

But because there were no plants among the rubble, its Perception was useless now.

Moreover, it seemed to lack intelligence. If it were a human, it would surely have guessed Wang Tao’s approximate location from the route he took when he fled. But it lacked such judgment and was just blindly causing Destruction.

This let Wang Tao breathe a sigh of relief. If the monster had been intelligent, it would have been much tougher to handle…

Wang Tao looked down at Jiang Shixue in his arms.

Though Jiang Shixue still had half her HP and was relatively safe, the sight of her body covered with lash marks, as she merely frowned slightly, still tugged at his heart.

After all, he and Jiang Shixue had lived together for two months in the post-apocalyptic world, and he had grown fond of her.

Wang Tao took out a medical kit to stop her bleeding, then asked,

“Does it hurt?”

“Not at all,”

Jiang Shixue shook her head.

Watching Wang Tao tenderly treat her wounds, Jiang Shixue suddenly reached out and caressed his face.

“What is it?”

Wang Tao was puzzled.

“I seem to… remember something…”

Jiang Shixue looked somewhat distracted.

“Hmm? What did you remember?”

Wang Tao was curious.

“It’s like there was a woman who treated me this way, but I can’t recall her face…”

By “this way,” she naturally referred to treating her wounds.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Tao then said with a smile,

“That’s highly likely your mother.”

He wasn’t sure if Jiang Shixue had any close female friends or relatives, but if someone had diligently treated her wounds like this, it was highly likely her mother. After all, in most cases, parents tend to be very kind to their children.

“Mother…”

Jiang Shixue’s eyes clouded over for a moment, but she did not linger on the thought. Wang Tao had told her before not to be under any psychological pressure, that she would eventually remember.

And besides, “mother” to her was just a noun. She still felt more comfortable with Wang Tao…

After he had tended to her wounds for a while, Wang Tao looked back at the Big Tree Monster.

This time, the Big Tree Monster was no longer in a frenzy, but the tendrils on its body were slowly dancing around as if searching for Wang Tao.

“Brother, I’ll distract it once more,”

Jiang Shixue proposed. She had lost a lot of blood, but she wasn’t missing limbs, so her strength remained relatively intact.

“Okay. But this time stay further away and try not to let it hit you!”

Wang Tao didn’t refuse. The Big Tree Monster was now down to just 25,000 HP and didn’t possess any ability for Blood Regeneration. If Wang Tao didn’t take it down, Jiang Shixue would have been beaten for nothing.

“Alright!”

After discussing their plan, the two dashed out of the rubble and split up to act.

When they stepped on some underground moss, the Big Tree Monster detected them. But this time, instead of moving its tendrils, the ground suddenly shook as if an earthquake had occurred, and then several thick roots burst from the ground!

These roots formed barriers almost instantly, trapping Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue separately, then began to constrict quickly!

“It has such an ability, too?”

Wang Tao quickly used all the Potions at his disposal and then unleashed his most powerful strike on the roots in front of him.

Puchi!

The root blocking his path was cut with a gap!

The Attack power of the High-frequency Vibration Ability was no joke.

Wang Tao squeezed through the gap and then saw the Big Tree Monster slowly making its way towards him. He could see clearly that these enormous roots emerged from the body of the Big Tree Monster.

The roots kept growing wildly, some even reaching the ceiling.

Wang Tao finally understood how the large hole in the underground parking lot he had entered was made. It was opened up by the roots of the Big Tree Monster!

And Wang Tao thought of something else. Lan Yulian had told him before that Zijin Base and the prison were raising zombies here, which was considered very safe, but somehow they had been damaged, allowing those zombies to escape from District A and letting other external zombies in. After that, the situation gradually spiraled out of control.

Wang Tao suspected it was the Destruction caused by the Big Tree Monster. After all, its roots were ferociously destructive; breaking through the structures that contained the zombies shouldn’t be an issue!
