Chapter 524: Green Rot Tree
After all, they didn’t have immortal level weapons or protective gear.
Considering that, encountering immortal beasts was a recipe for injuries and Shen Xu didn’t want Zhen Yuan to get hurt.
"That roar has the qi presence of a level thirteen monster." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu narrowed his eyes.
A level thirteen monster was equivalent to a great immortal.
Most importantly, the two had advanced too fast and neither their physical strength nor combat ability had kept up.
Thinking this, Shen Xu turned to Zhen Yuan with a conflicted expression.
However, Zhen Yuan didn’t let him speak.
"My law scripting brush is a growth weapon and it has already become an immortal weapon." He said and quickly continued.
"Fighting won’t be a problem and I will try my best not to get hurt." He said and the double sighed before nodding.
"Alright." He said.
With that, the two entered the forest and continued west.
Half a day later, the two exchanged a glance and hurriedly jumped back.
Soon after, a dozen tree roots split the ground and rose to the sky.
At a glance, the tips of the tree roots were like sharpened blades. They were not only sharp but also oozed a green liquid that left pits in the ground when it rained down.
"What an insidious demon plant." Shen Xu said through gritted teeth.
"I have seen it in a book. It’s the Green Rot tree." Zhen Yuan said and continued.
"Its roots and branches are like blades, and its sap is extremely poisonous." He said.
"I have also seen it in a poisons manual. When poisoned, a cultivator’s body begins to rot and melt into smelly pus. It’s an extremely difficult poison to deal with." The double added and Zhen Yuan couldn’t help but frown.
"Does it have an antidote?" He asked.
"Do you see the little flower on its trunk?" Shen Xu asked, pointing at the side of the tree’s trunk.
The flower was barely palm-sized and it was a vivid red that resembled blood.
"It’s called the blood iris flower and it’s the antidote for the green rot poison." Shen Xu revealed.
"This green rot poison is a good addition to the pure poison and light water." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu nodded.
"I know. We can add some to the water and save the rest for poisoning enemies." He said.
The Green Rot Tree was a mid-stage level thirteen demon plant.
Most importantly, it had hundreds of branches and all were swaying lightly, as if ready to strike at any moment.
"There are also the roots." Shen Xu muttered and Zhen Yuan nodded in understanding.
"We are not afraid of poison but that sap is corrosive. It won’t do to let it touch our bodies." The man said.
"Ayuan, you take the roots and I will take the branches." Shen Xu suggested and Zhen Yuan nodded.
A moment later, the two exchanged a glance and rushed forward.
At this time, Zhen Yuan’s law scripting brush had transformed into a sword while Shen Xu held quasi-immortal hammer.
’I hope this hammer will hold.’ The double thought and swung the weapon to block the attacking branches.
At the same time, Zhen Yuan swung his sword in a wide arc and slashed more than a dozen roots.
Sensing the danger, the tree swung wildly and attacked with more branches and roots.
"Take this." Shen Xu shouted and swung his hammer.
A breath later, the hammer head collided with three branches and immediately shattered.
Seeing this, Shen Xu hastily retreated and stopped outside the demon plants range.
On the other hand, Zhen Yuan sliced the roots but the opponent was not a weakling.
After the first time, the demon plant realised that the human could cut its roots and directly changed its strategy.
Rather than attacking with individual roots, it fused many roots into a thick rope and swung it at the opponent.
Zhen Yuan was not prepared for this but his instincts were not weak!
Before the thick root rope reached him, he swung his sword and a sword light barrier appeared to block the attack.
At the same time, he dodged to the side and used his sword to stab the tree’s trunk.
The tree swung wildly when Zhen Yuan stabbed it.
However, it didn’t give up and swung the root rope at Zhen Yuan.
This time, the root rope did not try to pierce Zhen Yuan but instead chose to whip him
As a result, Zhen Yuan tried to dodge but couldn’t completely evade the attack and was flung ten metres away.
Shen Xu frowned when he saw this.
However, he clenched his hands but didn’t interfere with the fight.
’It’s necessary to hone our combat ability.’ He thought and the tension in his body suddenly sipped out.
Zhen Yuan and the tree went back and forth for three days.
At this time, Zhen Yuan narrowed his eyes and suddenly leaped into the tree’s attack range.
Simultaneously, he swung his sword to cut the incoming roots and branches but that was not the end.
With a graceful leap, he soared into the sky and used the kick technique of the four star body martial art to attack the tree’s base.
Zhen Yuan used his full strength in the attack.
As a result, the base split and a demon core rolled out.
However, Zhen Yuan wasn’t unaffected.
When the demon tree died, its trunk split in two and green liquid spilled onto Zhen Yuan.
A breath later, Zhen Yuan felt a burning pain on his right arm and in the blink of an eye, pieces of melted flesh fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Zhen Yuan was able to block most of the corrosive sap and only a little got on him.
That said, the little caused unimaginable pain and cold sweat formed on his brow.
"Ayuan." Shen Xu screamed and rushed towards the man.
At the same time, he removed a gourd from his storage ring and poured the contents on Zhen Yuan’s arm as soon as he reached the person.
