Chapter 40 Hunter And Prey
That afternoon, Gu Qinghan was practicing the bone spur technique downstairs when he suddenly saw the Door of Disaster begin to tremble violently.
I saw a fluctuation in the space over there, as if something terrifying was about to appear.
Gu Qinghan immediately became vigilant and gathered all the skeletons together, waiting for the next changes in the Gate of Disaster.
Within a few seconds, this black iron-level door of disaster suddenly began to collapse.
However, vines like pythons suddenly emerged from it.
At the same time, trees of level seven or eight began to pop out of it, and there were more than twenty of them.
"so much?"
Gu Qinghan frowned, it seemed like this was the last monster in the Gate of Disaster.
However, there were too many of these monsters appearing at once, and he was not sure whether his skeleton could handle them.
While Gu Qinghan was thinking about countermeasures, the door of disaster had completely collapsed.
A tree man about three meters tall appeared in Gu Qinghan's field of vision.
Gu Qinghan frowned. Not far away, he could directly see the properties of this thing.
[Treant Guard: Level 10 (Elite)]
[Combat power: 800]
[Introduction: Among the tree people, there are powerful combatants. The tough bark can block most attacks, and it can also command the weak tree people to fight. 】
As soon as the tree guard appeared, he immediately threw out vines towards the surrounding skeletons.
The rattan, as thick as an adult's arm, actually made a sound of gold and iron when it collided with the axe.
At the same time, the skeletons that were hit also retreated continuously.
The strength gap is too big!
Gu Qinghan frowned. The last time he encountered such a powerful enemy was the mutant cat.
However, the mutant cat has no younger brothers, but this tree man still has many younger brothers.
The remaining tree people also surrounded the surrounding skeletons. Although the skeletons also killed two, they were quickly surrounded by the tree people.
The tree man's attack method is very simple, that is, wrapping it with rattan and constantly tightening it.
Gu Qinghan could even see one of the skeletons wrapped up by the tree guard, and its bones were making a creaking sound.
"Chen Yuting, get ready to run away!"
Gu Qinghan quickly went upstairs and knocked on the door of Chen Yuting's room.
He originally thought he could find a relatively stable place to live and develop in peace, but now it seems that it is still a bit too idealistic.
Now there are no zombies around for him to kill. In the past, the tree people were even looking for death.
Temporarily escaping before the tree people notice them is the only solution now.
Chen Yuting first ran to the balcony here to take a look, and found that the expression behind the trees surrounding the skeleton changed.
"Wait a minute, I'll bring the equipment I just made!"
She turned back to get something, and Gu Qinghan glanced at his skeleton helplessly.
It wasn't that he didn't want to take them back, but that they couldn't be taken back into the necromantic space during combat.
Just as he was about to turn around, Gu Qinghan's footsteps suddenly stopped.
At the moment just now, he seemed to see a figure running towards him quickly in the distance.
He turned around and his eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead.
It's that mutant cat!
Gu Qinghan's heart suddenly went cold. If he ran outside, without a skeleton, he would almost certainly die against the mutated cat!
"It's over, this damn cat probably came here by following my scent!"
Gu Qinghan immediately understood the reason why the other party appeared here, and immediately took out the breath-condensing cloak from the dead space and put it on.
When he is at home, he usually puts it away, otherwise it will get in the way.
But I didn't expect that such a habitual move would actually put me in danger!
Now, he can only hope that the effect of the breath-containing cloak is powerful enough to prevent the mutant cat from discovering him.
"I've put away the equipment. When are we leaving?"
Chen Yuting came in from the door, but was suddenly pulled into his arms by Gu Qinghan.
It wasn't that Gu Qinghan wanted to take advantage of her, but that Gu Qinghan was afraid that she would reveal his exact location.
As long as the opponent doesn't see it, the effect of the breath-containing cloak can take effect.
Chen Yuting looked surprised and wanted to speak, but found that Gu Qinghan was covering herself with a cloak at the same time.
She was a smart woman and immediately understood what Gu Qinghan was avoiding.
So, what is Gu Qinghan avoiding?
Such doubts only existed for a moment, and the next moment, a cat's meow reached her ears.
At this time, the mutant cat had arrived near the small apartment and was looking doubtfully in the direction where he could still smell some smell just now.
Strange, why did the disgusting smell disappear in an instant?
It was injured several times by Gu Qinghan's skeleton yesterday, but its ability to recover after mutation is extremely strong.
In just one day, its wounds were basically healed.
So, it followed the smell and found this place, wanting to kill the guy who exuded a special aura.
The mutated cat looked around and then continued in the direction where it smelled just now.
There was a faint unfamiliar aura in front of it, but it was not as strong as it was. It was ready to take a look.
As a result, it saw a group of tree men in front of them waving canes and wrapping skeletons into rice dumplings.
Aren't those skeletons the same ones that injured me before?
In an instant, the mutated cat entered a fighting stance, its tail raised high, and it let out threatening sounds.
It can feel that the breath of these tree people is also very annoying, even as annoying as the hateful human before.
However, it can feel that no tree man can beat it.
Therefore, it issued a warning and wanted to threaten the other party to leave those skeletons to itself.
But those tree people have nothing to fear. Their purpose of appearing here is to destroy.
In an instant, the tree men were like warriors fearless of death, surrounding the mutated cat.
Gu Qinghan held Chen Yuting in his arms and hid behind the window when he heard several sharp meows coming from outside.
"Did those tree people fight with the mutated cats?"
Chen Yuting opened her big, watery eyes and asked in a low voice.
Gu Qinghan nodded, but did not open his eyes.
At this time, he was using the sight of the dead to observe the situation outside.
Although several skeletons were strangled into pieces, a few skeletons were still alive.
Through the vision of a skeleton, Gu Qinghan could see that the mutant cat from before had already fought with the tree people.
The mutated cat is very flexible. It can almost change places by hitting it, and it will make those tree people spin around.
But there were too many of these tree men, and they did not give up the pursuit even after the vines were chopped off.
At this time, countless broken vines appeared around the mutated cat, but no tree man was killed.
Especially the tree guard, its rattan cannot be cut off casually by the mutant cat.
Although the mutant cat's sharp claws can make scratches on it, it cannot really neutralize the attack of the tree guard.
But the mutant cat is not ready to leave, because it has not been harmed at this time.
The resentment that was hurt by Gu Qinghan before was completely aroused at this time and turned into a fierce attack.
It is like a crazy hunter venting his anger on his prey.
Gu Qinghan felt a little strange when he looked at the tree guards who seemed to be completely passive.
Although its combat effectiveness is much lower, it is still a level 10 elite monster. How could it be so cowardly?
And it didn't look like the tree men were really going after the mutated cat, it was more like they were deliberately stretching out their vines to be cut down.
Match-fixing?
Gu Qinghan was amused by his ridiculous idea, but the other party must have a purpose for doing this.
The countless broken vines on the ground were densely packed like a large net spread on the ground.
"Wait, Net?"
Before Gu Qinghan could think about it carefully, the tree guard revealed the answer.
It suddenly stopped chasing and stretched out two thick vines and inserted them into the ground.
In an instant, the broken vines on the ground seemed to be alive and surrounded the mutant cat.
The mutated cat wants to run away, but with rattan on all sides, it has nowhere to escape!
The identities of hunter and prey change in an instant!
