Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 199: Like Hell

"Duh!"

A slight sound was heard, and Li Zhi reacted quickly and immediately moved aside. A sharp branch flew over and directly penetrated the place where he was just now.

Li Zhi raised his foot and broke the branch with one step. The broken branch stretched rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just one or two seconds, it was restored to its original state.

The branch seemed to be alive and stabbed towards Li Zhi again.

Li Zhi frowned, a ball of fire ignited in his hand, and he punched the branch with a fire fist. Although Li Zhi's fire armor was no longer supported by the heart fire, its power was much weaker than before, but it was still quite effective against the branch. The branch suddenly shrank back under the scorching flame of the fire armor.

Li Zhi also took the opportunity to look around, and saw that his five little ghosts and the hundred-eyed insects were all restrained by the branches. These branches were densely packed and there were a lot of them. More importantly, these branches recovered extremely quickly. Even if they were broken, they could return to their original state in one or two seconds.

Li Zhi sensed a very familiar feeling from it, that was the breath of living wood!

What was worse was that the incomplete faces on the trees kept making various noises of laughter, anger and scolding, which intertwined with each other and almost made Li Zhi's head explode. He couldn't help but feel irritated and couldn't calm down to think about how to break the situation.

Moreover, at this moment, the Five Ghosts and the Hundred Eyed Insects were gradually unable to hold on. Facing the opponent's strange and continuous offensive, even the Five Ghosts and the Hundred Eyed Insects could not resist.

Li Zhi knew that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death, otherwise he would be exhausted to death. Li Zhi was very familiar with the living wood qi, and this thing was a bug.

Especially tree monsters like the Black Mountain Monster, this kind of plant monster has a strong control over the living wood energy. If Li Zhi doesn't find a way to suppress the living wood energy in its body, then he will definitely not have any chance of winning. The demon energy of the monster is enough to kill Li Zhi.

There were constant noisy sounds in his ears, making Li Zhi dizzy. Li Zhi frowned, a hint of fierceness flashed across his eyes, and he bit his tongue hard. In an instant, a sharp pain came from the tip of his tongue, accompanied by a strong smell of blood, rushing straight to Li Zhi's forehead.

This strong stimulation instantly made Li Zhi's mind highly concentrated. The noisy sounds in his ears suddenly disappeared, as if the whole world was muted at this moment.

Li Zhi's eyes were fixed on the tree demon Heishan that exuded a strange aura. Taking advantage of this rare moment of peace, his brain was working frantically, racking his brains to think of a way to deal with the situation.

Everyone knows that these evil spirits are most afraid of thunder magic. However, Li Zhi has never practiced thunder magic and knows nothing about it.

However, in addition to being afraid of thunder magic, plant-type monsters are usually also wary of fire magic.

Li Zhi's fire armor is a kind of fire magic, but it is a pity that if Li Zhi's heart fire is not closed at this moment, with the blessing of his heart fire, his fire armor will definitely become the key to this battle.

However, although the power of the fire armor has been greatly weakened after losing the blessing of the heart fire, Li Zhi still decided to give it a try. After all, his attainments in fire armor are the highest among the five armors, so Li Zhi must give it a try anyway.

He first clenched his right fist tightly and opened his left hand wide, then he smashed his two hands together with a decisive force.

With a crisp "whoosh" sound, a dazzling orange-red flame suddenly surged out from Li Zhi's palms. The flame was like a nimble snake, winding up along Li Zhi's hands.

Li Zhi stomped his feet hard on the ground, and rushed towards Heishan like an arrow. The flame on his arm was dragged out into a long tail under his rush, and from a distance, it looked like a burning orange ribbon.

All the branches that attacked Li Zhi along the way were forced back by the blazing flames on Li Zhi's arms. Li Zhi came to the big tree transformed from the Black Mountain unimpeded.

Facing this strange tree monster, Li Zhi's expression remained unchanged. He stomped his feet hard on the ground. In an instant, his whole body exploded like a cannonball and rushed straight into the sky.

Li Zhi jumped high up, the blazing flames on his hands were swaying violently. Then, Li Zhi, wrapped in the flames and momentum, smashed towards the tree like a burning meteor.

"Rumble--"

With a loud bang, Li Zhi was thrown away violently. His body drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

The black face embedded in the tree trunk showed a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. She slowly opened her mouth and said, "Foolish! I am a great demon, how could I be afraid of your sparks!"

As she began to speak, the incomplete faces on the trees actually began to repeat what she had said at the same time. Different voices intertwined and echoed in the silent environment.

The noisy and repetitive sound made Li Zhi frown again, and a feeling of irritation surged in his heart.

 …

"Puch!"

"Puch!"

"Puch!"

All he could hear was the sound of flesh being pierced, and this sound seemed to fill Erniu's auditory world. Erniu just stood there blankly, looking around with dull eyes. The people who stayed behind to fight the monster were in a miserable state at the moment, some were injured, some died, and some ran away.

In front of that nightmare-like monster, they were more fragile than babies.

The sharp and swift branches that shot out from the monster were like deadly blades. Faced with such a fierce attack, few people were lucky enough to escape.

Erniu's eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had lost his focus. He slowly raised his head and looked in the direction not far away. He saw a figure there, as huge as a towering mountain, and extremely oppressive.

The body was shrouded in a strong evil spirit, which was extremely fierce. Erniu felt a stinging pain in his eyes after just one look, and tears immediately flowed down his face.

Next to that figure, there were countless branches extending out from them, and these branches were dancing wildly. What was even more frightening was that on these branches there were people whose life or death were unknown.

This scene is like hell!

Suddenly, a branch stabbed towards Erniu. But Erniu still stood there blankly, staring at the branch that was coming straight towards him, without any intention of resisting or dodging.

Just as Erniu was about to be brutally pierced by the branch, a dazzling sword light flashed like a meteor. Then, there was a crisp "crack" sound, and the branch that was piercing Erniu was instantly cut off by the sharp sword light, and the broken branch fell to the ground with a "crash".

Wang Yang rushed forward, raised his hand and slapped Erniu's head hard. A blush appeared on his pale face, and he yelled, "Don't just stand there!"

There was worry and anxiety in his voice.

However, before Wang Yang finished speaking, he heard a heart-wrenching sound. Wang Yang's body shook violently, and an extremely sharp branch with splashing blood instantly pierced through his body.

Wang Yang frowned, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead. He opened his mouth, and bright red blood gushed out of his mouth.

It was not until this time that Erniu finally came to his senses. He looked at the branch stuck in Wang Yang's body in horror. His eyes were burning with anger, and he used all his strength to chop at the branch that was still stuck in Wang Yang's body.

With a "crack" sound, the branch was cut off by Erniu's powerful knife.

Wang Yang's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

Erniu quickly supported Wang Yang, his face full of regret and annoyance. He cried, "Brother Wang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! You can't die!"

Wang Yang's eyes were tightly closed, his face was pale. He was already injured, and under the fierce attack of the monster, he had already been exhausted. Otherwise, with Wang Yang's skills, how could he be so careless and let the branch pierce his body so easily.

Erniu's frustrated cry attracted Xu Zhen who was still struggling not far away.

When Xu Zhen walked up to them, Erniu raised his head and looked at Xu Zhen with tears on his face. He cried and said self-blamingly: "It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"

Xu Zhen looked tiredly at Wang Yang, who was seriously injured and dying. Then, he looked at Erniu, who was crying and full of regret. Then, he looked up at the group of people who were still struggling.

Are they, alone, still unable to defeat that terrifying monster?

The hell-like scene in front of him made Xu Zhen tremble all over. Goose bumps instantly appeared on his skin and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to his forehead.
