Chapter 272 Devouring Flesh and Blood

Sun Wukong stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the corpse of the powerful dinosaur that he had killed with Kamehameha not far away, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It took him a long time to kill this monster with a combat power of about 7,000 but amazing defense.

According to JOKER's arrangement, Sun Wukong, Tien Shinhan and others have been fighting almost every day since they patrolled the world. Beasts are not humans and do not have much moral code. JOKER's existence did shock those powerful beasts, but it does not mean that the beasts will do nothing.

Even the most disciplined army will have problems, let alone beasts.

Now governments have tried their best to summon those living in remote mountainous areas to towns to settle down, otherwise once the beasts attack the mountain villages, they will not be able to rescue everyone in the first time.

Human warriors are very miserable. Their average combat power is inferior to the average combat power of the beasts after mutation. If JOKER was not too powerful, I am afraid that the situation would have been completely overturned.

Krillin and the others gradually felt overwhelmed. They would not blame JOKER for giving them a troublesome task. This was everyone's duty. Could it be that when the human beings on Earth were facing extinction, human warriors could still sit back and do nothing?

As the camera turned, the growth of the Tree of Life had become more and more exaggerated. In a blink of an eye, it had exceeded 200 meters in height. The branches were lush, winding, and the trunks were thick. The Tree of Life itself had become a dense forest fortress.

Even from a distance, this huge tree could be seen standing on the earth. The beasts looked at the giant tree that was different from the natural state, and there was a trace of greed in their eyes. They kept roaring at the tree, but they did not dare to move forward, because it now belonged to a super-strong human.

More and more beasts gathered, and they had reached a consensus. As soon as the treasure in the tree appeared, they would immediately rush towards the Tree of Life. No matter how powerful the other party was, there was only one person anyway.

"There is still a little time. The first small flower has bloomed in the center, and it will soon bear fruit. However, the smell of this tree will drive the monsters on Earth crazy, which is beyond my expectation."

Hmm?

Ye Xun suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon. The beasts did not come because he was too strong, but the insects were never afraid of his breath. If it were not for the armor, he would probably be bitten by insects every day. After all, this is a primitive forest!

But I don't know when I can't see even a mosquito here.

Ye Xun thought about it carefully. It is true that as the tree of life grew higher and higher, insects did not appear again after the first flower bloomed. At first he didn't understand, but then he immediately realized that maybe there was some smell in the flowers of the tree of life that could remove insects. After careful observation, he didn't even see an ant in the area of ​​the tree of life. Isn't this enough to explain something?

Nature itself is far more than a cycle, and species complement and counteract each other.

Ye Xun bravely picked a petal and stored it in a glass container. Then he turned into a stream of light and disappeared. The beasts felt that the man had finally left the place, and they cheered and rushed towards the Tree of Life without hesitation. As a result, the situation suddenly changed when they stepped on the branches!

The tentacle-like paper strips that grew out of countless branches instantly entangled the beasts that crossed the line. The beasts behind saw the situation clearly and stopped quickly. They felt the breath of death.

Sure enough, the flesh and blood of the beasts that were entangled were quickly absorbed by the trunk, and their bodies gradually shrank and dried up. Their flesh and blood became the nutrients of the Tree of Life. They died without even having time to wail, leaving only the horrible bones that could not be absorbed by the branches.

Perhaps it was because it felt the benefits brought by the essence of life, and the Tree of Life instinctively began to extend its tentacles.

Tens of thousands of flexible branches were like hunting knives following the scent of prey, either directly piercing the bodies of beasts or tightly strangling their bodies to drag them back alive. Every thick trunk of the Tree of Life was like a swamp, greedily sucking the blood of beasts.

The beasts would never dream that this would become their own graveyard. When Ye Xun was halfway through his flight, he suddenly realized that the scent of many beasts disappeared quickly. He frowned. Could it be that the beasts started killing each other?

But this is not what he is going to do now. Ye Xun went to the base of the "Insect Group" established by Kesrujin Kingdom as quickly as possible, handed the petals in the bottle to the responsible persons, and said: "There may be some chemical components in these petals that will make insects feel disgusted or afraid. You should study them carefully."

The experts in those groups immediately started the work of extracting the components. Regardless of other things, it is always good to be able to get rid of insects at the moment.

After the explanation, Ye Xun did not dare to delay and immediately returned to the place where the Tree of Life was. When he returned to the place where the Tree of Life was, he saw a pile of corpses, which shocked him greatly.

The thousands of monsters that had gathered here before had all disappeared. No, they didn’t disappear, they were eaten!

“The flesh and blood were all gone, leaving only clean bones, and every one of them was like this, could it be…?”

Ye Xun turned his gaze to the Tree of Life, and indeed caught a few trunks spitting out indigestible bones. This scene made Ye Xun alert all of a sudden. The Tree of Life actually eats meat and drinks blood?

"In addition to absorbing the energy of the planet, Slag's Tree of Life also absorbs the energy of living things? What does it need? Protein? Or mitochondria?"

"Maybe... and air?"

When he thought of this, Ye Xun understood a little bit. Maybe every Tree of Life needs it.

"Sure enough, blood is also one of the nutrients. There is no trace of blood in this place, even the corpses on the ground have no blood smell. They should have been absorbed."

Ye Xun slowly descended to the dense depths of the Tree of Life. The branches swept over in an instant, but suddenly stopped halfway and shrank back.

"Strange, since you want blood and air, why don't you attack me?"

Ye Xun tried to converge his breath to the lowest, almost leaking nothing, without any movement.

When he released a strong breath, the branches still did not attack. After repeating the experiment, Ye Xun suddenly realized that the Tree of Life needed a DNA with a "strange smell", and Ye Xun's DNA did not match it.

In order to verify this, Ye Xun contacted Ye Chong. After Ye Chong flew towards the Tree of Life, the branches still did not choose him. Human blood was not favored by the Tree of Life.

Ye Xun quickly explained the situation. Ye Chong was sweating. This kid actually called him to come for the experiment? !

What if the experiment failed? What if he failed to save himself?

"Okay, Dad, don't complain. It's because you are strong. If something happens, you can be rescued immediately. But I really want to hear your opinion. Why does this Tree of Life only choose the blood of wild beasts?"

Ye Chong frowned. He thought about it carefully. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. He said uncertainly: "Do you think the Tree of Life will.............. be a dowry for others...?"

Listening to Ye Chong's analysis, Ye Xun's eyes sparkled. He was surprised and said: "I am not the only one waiting for the Tree of Life to bloom and bear fruit?"
