The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 150: The Power of Rules, Shukaku of the Sand

Even after changing more than a dozen women in one night, Gao Xiang still didn't sleep well and was very disappointed.

Gao Xiang felt embarrassed when he thought of An Yu saying casually that she didn't remember.

"Bitch, I'm going to take all your resources away from you!"

Gao Xiang was certain that all of his group were soldiers of the Lianhai City Investigation Team. Any one of the level 3 infected people and the academician in the cabin was more valuable than the An father and daughter. As long as the guy who had the resources in Ailing Town was not stupid, he would definitely choose to cooperate with them.

Otherwise, that kind of explosive bullet, such cutting-edge technology, and so many resources must be placed in the hands of senior management like them and supervised.

In the hands of the lower class, resources will only be wasted.

Only when coordinated by top management can resources flow and go to where they should go.

As soon as the sun rose, Gao Xiang rushed out of the house impatiently.

Led by the infected person with enhanced sense of smell, Gao Xiang soon arrived near the low mountain.

"Oh my god, the resources of Ailing Town are so well protected that there are still poplar trees!"

Gao Xiang stared at the forest that blocked out the sun and for a moment he didn't know what words to use to describe it.

In the apocalypse, even if there are infected people under control, it still cannot stop people from cutting down poplar trees.

Unexpectedly, in this little-known town, no one snatched the poplar trees, and they even grew into a continuous forest.

Gao Xiang looked from afar and saw rows and rows of tall poplar trees, so many that there was no end in sight.

The infected person with enhanced sense of smell sniffed and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Could it be that no one has lived in this town? Not only has the poplar trees grown into a forest here, but there is also the smell of Yangshi. If nothing unexpected happens, this is also a Yangshi mine."

"Very good, you go back first, and ask Boss Wang to arrange for a few academicians to come and study the situation here." Gao Xiang was quite smart: "I always feel that this place is a bit strange. Can something like Populus euphratica grow into a forest? Maybe this is a new variety cultivated in Ailing Town. Let the academicians take some samples. When we get to XN City, it might be a great achievement."

Gao Xiang felt that this must not be a product of XN City.

If XN City could grow large tracts of poplar forests like this, it would have traded with various towns long ago. As high-level officials in Lianhai City, they did not receive any information at all. It is very likely that these forests were secretly researched by Ailing Town and have been produced for their own use without being revealed to outsiders.

"It's so funny, is this the reason why An Yu lives here?" Gao Xiang shook his head, his tone full of contempt: "If she treated us well, we might be fooled and not check this town at all. We would just leave after resupplying."

"Because she was afraid that the resources she depended on for survival would be discovered, she deliberately drove us away, but instead we discovered her trump card. This is a woman who loses the big picture for the small."

The infected person with enhanced sense of smell left, and Gao Xiang's body suddenly became transparent and slowly walked into the woods.

As Gao Xiang entered, the light shining into the woods seemed to be dimmer, as if all the light was absorbed by Gao Xiang.

"There are actually mutant birds living here!"

Gao Xiang walked quietly in the forest as if he didn't exist. When he looked up, he saw that the poplar trees were full of bird nests of various sizes.

The mutant birds like to catch flying insects at night. They rest during the day. Their huge bodies curl up into a ball. All the mutant birds sleep and do not notice anyone sneaking in.

In the woods, near the cave, Liang Yao was practicing chakra.

Under Huo Ying's guidance, Liang Yao mastered tree climbing and water treading, and was now practicing on her own.

While the mutant birds were asleep, Liang Yao walked upright on the tree trunk with her feet, easily came to the bird's nest, and used the absorption ability of chakra to secretly suck up the bird eggs, and stole the mutant bird babies away.

"Mom, someone is approaching."

Just when Liang Yao was having fun stealing eggs, Shukaku suddenly sent a reminder in Liang Yao's spiritual world.

"Mom, don't look at me directly, look at me quietly out of the corner of your eye."

Noticing that Liang Yao subconsciously wanted to look around, Shukaku controlled the chakra to hold down Liang Yao's head and began to guide Liang Yao in the spiritual world.

"How did you find out?" Liang Yao couldn't turn her head and could only observe her surroundings with her peripheral vision. She didn't notice anyone approaching.

Shukaku was not in a hurry to point out Gao Xiang's location. Following Huo Ying's orders, Shukaku was now Liang Yao's teacher, trying to guide Liang Yao to use chakra skillfully.

"Mom, you can't just use your eyes to see the surface, you also have to feel the chakra. Your energy and mine are one. All the sand in this forest is an extension of your body and is under your control. Feel it carefully."

Liang Yao tried hard to calm down, then concentrated her attention and focused all her consciousness on chakra.

Suddenly, Liang Yao's eyes lit up and she subconsciously turned her head to look behind a big tree.

She could already sense that the gravel was being gently stepped on by someone, leaving behind shallow shoe prints, and that pair of shoe prints were right behind the tree, with the direction of the toes facing her.

She discovered me?

Gao Xiang, who was hiding behind a tree, was stunned.

His ability is to control light, yes, not control light, just light.

This ability seems weak, but it is actually very strong.

Human eyes, even strange eyes, refract light into the fundus to form an image in the mind.

Gao Xiang can use his body to absorb the surrounding light so that the light no longer refracts. Relying on this ability, Gao Xiang can not only make humans unaware of him, but even make monsters ignore him.

This is also the reason why Gao Xiang dared to stay behind to cover the retreat. Even if he was surrounded by weirdos, Gao Xiang was not afraid. As long as he absorbed all the light on his body, Gao Xiang could leave from under the eyes of the weirdos in a high-profile manner.

"Forget it. Who knows. This woman might have some special perception abilities. Let's get rid of her first." Even though Gao Xiang noticed Liang Yao looking at him, he was not worried.

He had met many masters with super perception. In the absence of light imaging, even a level 3 infected person could only determine Gao Xiang's vague position.

Determining the approximate location does not mean finding Gao Xiang. In fact, they only determined Gao Xiang's location and could not detect whether Gao Xiang had taken action.

In particular, Gao Xiang can attack while absorbing light. This is equivalent to you knowing that there is an enemy on the opposite side, but the enemy is invisible at all. Based on perception alone, you have no idea where the enemy is attacking or what attack method the enemy is using.

Light · Focus.

Gao Xiang can absorb light and control the light to concentrate on one point, just like sunlight lighting a match through a magnifying glass. Gao Xiang's ability can exert a destructive power hundreds of times greater than that of a magnifying glass.

"Let's take a hostage first."

Gao Xiang had no intention of killing Liang Yao at once. He focused the light on Liang Yao's hands and feet, wanting to burn Liang Yao's limbs, and then torture Liang Yao to reveal the secrets of the forest.

Noisy!
Green smoke suddenly came out from Liang Yao's wrists and ankles, and a burnt smell was emitted.

Click.

Suddenly, Liang Yao could hear the sound of the moisture in the soil being dried up and the ground becoming dry and cracked.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of mud fell off Liang Yao's wrists and ankles.

"My Sand Armor was attacked."

Liang Yao frowned. The sand armor had just been broken, but it was restored by Shukaku's huge chakra. From a distance, it looked as if only a layer of dust had fallen off Liang Yao's body.

"It looks like an enemy."

Liang Yao suddenly raised her hand in the direction of Gao Xiang. Sand-bound coffin!
The soil under the tree suddenly turned into a big hand and grabbed Gao Xiang who was hiding behind the tree.

What ability is this?
Not only did he block my attack, but he was also able to find my location from such a distance!

Gao Xiang suddenly dodged.

As a level three infected person, in addition to the ability to absorb light, his physical body was also strengthened by the infection. He instantly sensed the changes underground. In addition, the location of Liang Yao's attack was not accurate, so Gao Xiang narrowly avoided the restraints of the sand coffin.

Light and flash bomb.

Gao Xiang found that he could not break Liang Yao's defense by concentrating the light, so he immediately used another ability of the light.

In the dim woods, an extremely dazzling light suddenly burst out. The dazzling light did not flash and disappear, but continued to exist and became brighter and brighter!
"Oh no, my eyes are blinded!"

Liang Yao was very angry.

This was her first battle since she came into possession of Shukaku.

It was obvious that her strength was already so strong. According to Huo Ying's analysis, one Shukaku was equivalent to a level 4 infected creature. However, she was beaten into a mess as soon as she started fighting.

Absolute defense!

The huge sand ball suddenly wrapped up Liang Yao. The strong light was blocked outside by the sand. Liang Yao squatted in the sand ball, thinking pitifully.

"No, this is my first time fighting. Since Brother Huo didn't come out to help me, he just wants me to slowly develop my combat awareness."

"Well, the enemy has launched several attacks, but none of them hurt me. This proves that the enemy can't break Shukaku's defense at all. So, I don't need to panic. I just need to calmly think about how to break the enemy's ability."

"Otherwise, give him a Tailed Beast Ball."

"No, no, it won't work. If I use my ultimate move in the first battle, I won't get any training at all. I have to find a way to capture him alive."

Liang Yao kept taking deep breaths and exhaling, and after a long while of relaxation, her eyes suddenly lit up.

The huge sand ball that wrapped Liang Yao suddenly shattered and turned into dense and endless fine sand.

Scatter, wind and soil composite ninjutsu, sea of sand flowers.

The wind suddenly blew in the forest.

The wind was not strong at all, but gentle as the finest silk blowing on the body.

The sand that is invisible to the naked eye is blown up by the breeze and changes into petals in the air. The whole forest is like a huge sea of flowers. Petals fall from the sky, layer by layer, filling all the gaps.

This is? !
Gao Xiang's pupils suddenly contracted.

What kind of attack is this!
The range is so large!
With just one glance, Gao Xiang saw through Liang Yao's purpose. She wanted to use the layers of petals spread on the ground to find his location.

But it was useless to see through it, Gao Xiang couldn't avoid it at all.

"Damn, this woman in the woods is so strong!"

Gao Xiang didn't want to fight anymore. He just wanted to run out of the woods quickly, join up with Scar King's team, and quickly escape from the town.

Liang Yao’s combat awareness was too low, and Gao Xiang felt that Liang Yao must not be the owner of this forest.

He couldn't even defeat Liang Yao, who couldn't fight. Even if he joined forces with Scar King, he might not be a match for the owner of the forest.

run!
Light refraction.

Gao Xiang used his ability again, and a figure that looked exactly like Gao Xiang suddenly appeared in the opposite direction of him. The figure looked at Liang Yao in horror, then ran away.

"Hey, is he hiding here? I can clearly sense him over there."

Liang Yao frowned. Shukaku never reminded her and let her analyze it herself.

Based on her perception, Liang Yao first looked towards the place where Gao Xiang's real body was hiding.

But there, the petals of sand were being spread on the ground layer by layer, with no signs of being disturbed or disrupted.

On the other hand, where the figure Liang Yao could not sense was, all the petals of the sand were broken, and even the petals that fell to the ground were stepped on and left footprints.

This is an illusion created by Gao Xiang using his ability.

What the human eye sees is light.

Gao Xiang can control light and can change it to create illusions.

No, it should not be said to be an illusion, this is the real scene in the woods, because the rules of light in the woods have been modified.

"Shukaku, you have to testify for me." Liang Yao's eyes lit up and she analyzed seriously, "Invisibility, burning me, and even a scene different from my perception. If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy's ability should be temperature and vision modification."

"So, I shouldn't trust my eyes now, I just need to trust my perception."

"If I had to choose, I would let that shadow go and attack where I judge."

Liang Yao clapped her hands in triumph and continued, "But I have you, Shukaku. I can handle a larger-scale battle. Why do I have to choose which one to attack? Why not just capture them all?"

"So, you must tell Huo Ying that it's not that I was stupid and was fooled by him, but that I'm too strong and there's no need to choose!"

Purify!
The sand ball that just wrapped Liang Yao had been endowed with purification power by Liang Yao, and every sand petal floating in the air was mixed with particles that overflowed from the sand dunes.

The next second, all the modified lights returned to normal, and Gao Xiang's true body was suddenly exposed. He was hunched over and sprinting out of the woods in a panic.

"See, I guessed right."

Liang Yao snapped her fingers in the direction of Gao Xiang.

The coffin is bound with sand.

This time, the huge sand and gravel palm appeared accurately in Liang Yao's sight, and instantly pinched Gao Xiang fiercely in its hand.

"I'm about to run away. You can't catch me."

Gao Xiang's eyes narrowed. After discovering Liang Yao's attack range, Gao Xiang knew that he could not escape easily, so he had one last trick up his sleeve.

Light and strong radiation.

Gao Xiang immediately mobilized all the infected viruses in his body, trying to use the light to break the sand and stone in his palm, and take the opportunity to escape from the woods completely.

However, even though Gao Xiang had used almost all his strength, the power in his body was still like stagnant water and did not activate at all.

"Hehe, I purified it."

Liang Yao controlled the sand and stone in her palm and lifted Gao Xiang over. With the blessing of flexible chakra, Liang Yao's purification ability became stronger. Gao Xiang's ability was to rely on infectious power to modify the light. Compared with the infected people who had strengthened their physical fitness and mastered the rules, Gao Xiang's ability still relied on the connection between infectious power and light. This meant that Gao Xiang's ability was not direct and there was a layer of relay.

Liang Yao easily purified the power that Gao Xiang used to connect the light without any cost.
