Chapter 254 No One Can Escape
Feng Chan shouted from above, "Try to wake up the players who just came up first. If we continue to let the giant tree continue like this, we may not be able to get out alive."
Some players who still have the energy to spare have started to do this, not out of kindness but purely for their own benefit.
However, the awakening effect is not very good. Some of them cannot be stopped and continue to move forward, while others just stand still and the price is that their health is sucked away by the tree roots.
Only a few players were able to regain some sanity, but their bodies were slow and it was difficult for them to fight against the tree roots.
In less than ten minutes, more than half of the people were dead and corpses were everywhere.
Feng Chan, who was fighting and looking for people at the same time, finally saw Ning Qiao who was about to fall. She grabbed her and punched her directly. Her eyes were dull, her mouth slightly opened, and she was about to fall down, but there was no sign of consciousness at all.
Feng Chan noticed with her sharp eyes that there seemed to be something in her mouth. At this time, several tree roots broke through the ground under her feet and attacked. She picked up Ning Qiao with one hand and jumped to avoid them.
After hiding three or four times and finally finding a place with few people, I finally had time to squeeze her mouth open to see what was inside.
White capillary-like filaments covered her entire mouth, and it was obvious that the filaments originated from her throat. The thing that controlled the player was inside the body, which made it very difficult to deal with.
Feng Chan came to the barrier, used the wood carving to open the barrier, released the unconscious Ning Qiao, and used a blue defense card on her.
She was dealing with the troublesome tree roots near Ning Qiao. Fortunately, there were enough players inside the barrier, so the tree roots didn't deal with a player outside who looked dead.
Players who have obtained enough supplies begin a collective weapon-covering attack.
At this time, the players in the crater were gathered together. In addition to defending, they all attacked the barrier. If they didn't get out, they would be doomed.
The originally hard and transparent barrier gradually began to glow green under the numerous attacks and became somewhat unstable.
Three minutes later, the number of attacks had reached tens of thousands, and the attack value was enough to reach nearly ten million, and a crack finally appeared in the barrier.
Everyone was so happy that they didn't stop what they were doing. Finally, the barrier was broken. All the players rushed up at the fastest speed in their lives, much more actively than when they went down.
But when they got to the top, there was another layer of barrier. With more than a thousand players coming up at the same time, the area on the top of the volcano became a little confined. It was okay before there was no fighting, but now the fighting is inevitable and it seems crowded.
Most of the players started attacking the other barrier right away. With the lessons learned from the previous experience, everyone cooperated very well.
But at this time, the giant tree in the crater grew taller and bigger again, until the trunk was nearly a thousand meters above the crater and deep into the clouds, and the crown completely blocked the sunlight. It was originally a rare giant tree, but now it can be said to be sky-high.
Although it was clearly daytime, the environment they were in was like night. Giant trees stood in the sky, and the players became so small, like a grain of dust, unable to shake it at all.
Everyone was stunned. How could they fight this tree? Even if all players used high-quality weapons to chop it down together, it would take a whole day without doing anything else...
But soon the players found hope, the barrier disappeared after the giant tree became bigger.
Now most players no longer hold back and start running out using all the props they can.
In the windless environment, countless leaves fell, floating towards the fleeing players with the tree as the center, and not a single leaf fell on the players still standing on the top of the volcano.
The leaf was only the size of an eye, light and fluttering, and its speed wasn't particularly fast, probably only as fast as a green-grade weapon. However, once it came into contact with the player's body, it was like a divine weapon, easily severing their arms and necks...
The screams were endless, and the blood-stained leaves slowly fell to the ground, without any damage to the leaves, everything was so intact.
The giant tree actually doesn't want this to happen. It prefers humans whose health points can be directly absorbed. Once a human dies, their health points are reset to zero, and it cannot absorb any additional health points.
Unfortunately, its capabilities are limited and it cannot control everything at once, so it is destined to give up something.
For example, 90% of the players who came to the dungeon were parasitized by the seeds it released in the pyramid, but the number was too large for it to control only 1/3 of the players, while also having to reserve energy to create barriers and attack the remaining conscious players.
Moreover, when the player sees his own true form and is extremely nervous and alert, the power of control will be weakened. At this time, to control one is equivalent to controlling 100 under normal conditions. It is more convenient to save the power and fight directly.
At the same time, the stronger one is, the higher the resistance to attack and control is, so the people that the giant tree controls first are relatively weaker.
Just maintaining the tens of millions of defenses of multiple barriers consumed a lot of its energy. Moreover, there was more than one copy space, a total of 13, and each copy accommodated about 300 "lucky" players in the district. If its strength was not dispersed, it could easily eliminate all the players in a copy.
Now the energy consumption of changing forms is too great, the barrier is difficult to maintain, and the control over humans has also weakened a lot. Fortunately, so many players have died, and the rest is just a matter of time.
At this time, only some of the players who still had defensive items survived, but at this moment, countless branches that were softer and thinner than tree roots flew out from under the huge tree canopy like vines.
No one can escape...
The players were confused. They didn’t know whether to run or not. If they didn’t run, they would just die later.
Feng Chan was guarding Ning Qiao's body. She tried to take her to the oasis. If she woke up in the middle of the journey, she could feed her some sleeping potion to ensure that she would continue sleeping. However, the Purple Moon Stone could only be passed on to her and her contracted pet.
Looking at the towering tree in front of him, Feng Chan felt that it looked familiar. This kind of tree was very common in this game, and was distributed in 90% of the places on the land map.
Were the filaments in the player's body parasitic from the moment they entered the dungeon? Or...
Regarding tree-related things, the most impressive ones, apart from the tree killed in Huang Jin’s hometown, are the trees on the first and fifth floors of the pyramid.
There is nothing unusual about the tree on the first floor. It is just a means to the second floor. It is the same species as this giant tree. There are still some subtle differences between the tree on the fifth floor and the tree in front of us.
The truth cannot be known, and even if it were known it would not improve the current situation.
At this time, news from Qiao Zhi arrived. The situation there was similar to that of Feng Chan. Su Ziyu was found and was also knocked unconscious. However, it was not a solution to continue like this. It would take another six or seven hours before they could be teleported back.
There were players in the crowd calling on everyone to take action together. Given the momentum of this giant tree, there was no possibility of survival without working together.
