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

Chapter 167: Watching, Power, Tailed Beast Ball

"Leo, Cancer..."

When the fat Aquarius woman saw the two people being killed instantly by the octopus, she realized the difference between level three and level four.

The octopus' ink not only restricted the two people's superpowers, but also suppressed the recovery ability of the virus in their bodies.

The human monster, which clearly required a large amount of solar power to kill, was killed instantly by the octopus simply using its ink-soaked tentacles to whip it.

So, how many lives of the infected people are needed to force back this monster?

Aquarius was no longer thinking about relying on everyone's strength to kill the octopus monster. After just one fight, Aquarius saw clearly that with the current strength of XN City, it is absolutely impossible to kill the octopus monster.

"What should we do? We will all be killed."

"Run, there is no way to resist, the gap is too big, XN City is finished."

Aquarius, which is so strong that it has the title of one of the twelve zodiac signs, is terrified. The ordinary infected people who face the fourth-level monsters perform even worse.

"Don't be afraid, human, you will never be defeated."

The sound of war horses could be heard on the streets of XN City.

A man wearing heavy armor and dressed like an ancient general came galloping towards them on his horse.

That horse, it can only be said that it has the appearance of a horse, but its body is like an elephant.

This is a warhorse that mutated during the apocalypse and was even tamed by a man.

With the appearance of the man, the morale collapse was gradually stopped, and all the infected people present inexplicably regained their confidence.

In the distance, Gao Zaishang, who had become the size of a thumb, sat on the broken wall and looked at the battlefield.

"The leader of the investigation team has come to the battlefield in person." Gao Zaishang chewed over the old dean's words in his heart: "Where there is hope, a level 4 savior will appear. Could it be that hope represents the leader's ability?"

"Don't be afraid, everyone. I am Qin Yang, the leader of the investigation team. I believe everyone knows my abilities. So, can you lend me your strength temporarily?"

Qin Yang pulled the reins and the mutant horse immediately stopped.

As the leader of the investigation team, his ability is named, Hope.

His voice can erase people's fear, and can even gather everyone's strength and concentrate everyone's strength on one infected person.

"The hope is level 4. Could it be that what the old dean meant? If I stand up now and accept the power of everyone in place of Qin Yang, can I be promoted to level 4?"

Gao Zaishang stroked his chin, guessing in his mind, but without taking any action.

If level 4 appeared so easily, then the old dean would have tried to create level 4 long ago.

Moreover, Qin Yang will not die when he uses his ability. Every time he concentrates, he creates a level 4 monster. Humans would have counterattacked the strange monsters long ago.

Therefore, the speculation is still wrong.

At least, now is not the time for me to take action.

Gao Zaishang's eyes flashed. If he made the first move, it would be fine if he succeeded. But if he failed and revealed that he was still alive, Zhang Yuqi would be on guard, and it would be extremely difficult to snatch the level 4 resources.

Therefore, it is imperative that Zhang Yuqi make the first move.

"We do!"

"We are willing to lend our strength to the leader!"

The infected people present raised their hands one after another. Faintly, there seemed to be some starlight overflowing from the people who raised their hands, and then slowly gathered on Qin Yang.

Qin Yang, who was riding on a warhorse, frowned slightly behind his helmet.

It’s not enough. Everyone’s sense of belief is too low, and they use their abilities and their collective abilities too little.

Qin Yang's ability is a kind of rule involving the spirit. The stronger the belief and the greater the confidence in victory, the more power each person can borrow.

Qin Yang felt that although his strength had increased dramatically, it was still far from enough if the enemy was a level 4 infected creature.

"Interesting ability. Your strength is actually increasing."

The octopus discovered Qin Yang, then raised one of its tentacle and made a gesture of picking its nose.

"Although I'm still far from level four power, I like to nip all dangers in the bud."

The octopus' smile was terrifying. Along with the octopus's voice, a dozen tentacles covered in ink blocked all of Qin Yang's escape routes and smashed towards Qin Yang at the same time.

"Humanity will win!"

Qin Yang roared, and his armor burst into dazzling light. Without dodging the tentacles, Qin Yang drew the long sword at his waist and rode his warhorse head-on towards the huge tentacles that covered the sky.

Come on!

Captain, don't die!
Seeing Qin Yang advancing instead of retreating, all the infected people present felt a hot current rushing up their skin, and then every pore felt like it was about to explode.

This is the leader of our human investigation team!
Even with such a terrifying attack, he never retreated!
The leader will definitely win!
Scar King felt dense energy surging out of his body and flying into Qin Yang's body. Seeing Qin Yang charging forward without hesitation, everyone hoped that Qin Yang would win. Their faith increased in an instant, and the light on Qin Yang's body became even brighter.

"Yes, my ability allows me to move forward and not retreat."

Qin Yang collided with more than a dozen tentacles. The strange ink stuck to Qin Yang's body, but was actually evaporated by the golden light on Qin Yang's armor. The next second, Qin Yang's sword chopped on the tentacles.

Click!

The tentacles were cut off by Qin Yang.

The warhorse and Qin Yang seemed to become one. The man borrowed the power of the horse and became one, just like an invincible god of war. He only charged forward and did not dodge. Qin Yang seemed to have no fear and actually cut off all the dozen tentacles head-on.

"Long live!"

"Long live the leader!"

"Humanity will win!"

The infected people in XN City cheered. This time, the power they borrowed was stronger.

But the giant octopus stared at Qin Yang with amusement.

The severed tentacles quickly recovered. Qin Yang resisted the ink and cut off the tentacles, which was indeed beyond the octopus's expectations.

But the solar power contained in the long sword is insignificant to the octopus, and Qin Yang's strength is getting lower and lower. The octopus can clearly sense that after cutting off the last tentacle, Qin Yang is already at the end of his strength. Now, as long as it attacks again, Qin Yang will be crushed to death.

"Level 4 is so terrifying? Even if I gather so much strength, I am no match for it." Qin Yang slowly put the sword back, pressed his palm on the scabbard, and relied on holding the scabbard fixed on the horse's back to hide his trembling arms.

"Let me do it. Focus the power on me."

Ordinary infected people couldn’t see it, but the third-level infected people could see Qin Yang’s weakness.

A man in black suddenly appeared beside Qin Yang.

Aquarius pursed his lips. The man in black was Scorpio among the twelve zodiac signs.

"Focus your strength on me. I have a way to force this monster back."

Scorpio's voice was very calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

But Qin Yang, and the fat Aquarius woman who knew Scorpio, both felt a subconscious tightening in their hearts.

Scorpio's ability is extremely poisonous, and it can easily poison and kill even a level 3 infected person.

But the octopus is too huge. If the dosage of Scorpio's poison is not enough to kill it in one shot, there will be no chance to poison the defensive octopus.

This is a tactic that the Research Institute developed a long time ago. If Scorpio really encounters an irresistible monster, he will sacrifice himself and become food. In this way, all the toxins will take effect and the chance of poisoning the monster to death will be greater.

"Has it come to this?"

Qin Yang sighed. If Scorpio failed, humans would have to take advantage of the poisoning of the Level 4 monsters to evacuate XN City, cross the dangerous suburbs, and find the next city.

In the end, Qin Yang didn’t even dare to imagine how many ordinary people could survive.

That should be desperate enough.

In the shadows, Zhang Yuqi watched the battle situation with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Humanity's trump cards have been used up. Zhang Yuqi, who has been working for the research institute, happened to know Scorpio's ability. If it was just poisonous, it would definitely not kill a level 4 monster. Although fighting a poisoned level 4 monster would be more certain, it would be difficult for her to become the hope of mankind if she took advantage of Scorpio.

Now, it's the savior's turn to appear.

Zhang Yuqi wanted to test the power of Qin Yang's hope. If she bet right, she would be promoted to level four. If she bet wrong, it didn't matter. The old dean was dead, and only the top leaders knew about the savior plan. If she made friends with the leader of the second largest force in XN City, she would definitely get clues for promotion.

Imitation: Speed up!
Zhang Yuqi had been observing the battlefield and saw the scene of Black Panther saving people. With the abilities of a chimpanzee, Zhang Yuqi easily turned into a shadow and appeared in front of the giant octopus in the blink of an eye.

"Monster, don't underestimate humans!"

Zhang Yuqi's voice spread throughout the battlefield.

Raising her arm, Zhang Yuqi used her hand as a knife and chopped hard at the octopus monster's head.

"A person with speed ability." Several tentacles instantly blocked the octopus, trying to stop Zhang Yuqi's sneak attack.

Imitation: Nothing is continuous.

Cancer's ability took effect, and the monster's tentacles were cut off as soon as they touched Zhang Yuqi's arms, even though Zhang Yuqi's arms were still approaching the octopus.

"Who is she and how could she have two powers?"

Qin Yang looked at Zhang Yuqi in astonishment. The combination of acceleration and continuous attack was simply a deadly weapon. If the power of the XN city warriors was lent to Zhang Yuqi, there might be a possibility of a comeback.

"She is Zhang Yuqi, a new member of the research institute." Scorpio wanted to say a few more words about her, but Zhang Yuqi's information was kept confidential by the old dean. Scorpio had never paid much attention to her and could not introduce anything at once. He only knew Zhang Yuqi's name.

"So, she is the secret weapon of the Research Institute."

Qin Yang's eyes lit up. Since even Scorpio couldn't tell Zhang Yuqi's information, it proved that Zhang Yuqi's level was above the twelve zodiac signs.

boom!
Just as Zhang Yuqi gained the advantage, changes occurred on the battlefield. The octopus saw its tentacles being cut off, but did not panic. It just opened its mouth and rich ink instantly sprayed all over Zhang Yuqi.

The next second, the tentacles wrapped around Zhang Yuqi, pinned her down, and slammed her to the ground, smashing her to pieces.

scare!
XN City fell silent in an instant.

The range of the octopus's ink spray is too large, even if Zhang Yuqi has the ability to accelerate, she cannot avoid it.

Even the trump card of the Research Institute, a warrior with multiple abilities, was easily killed instantly by the level 4 monster.

So, it's desperate enough.

The ink on the ground slowly solidified and re-formed into a human figure.

Zhang Yuqi slowly stood up in the ink.

"Not dead! That soldier is not dead!"

"Great! Finally someone has appeared who can withstand the attack of the octopus monster!"

Octopus looked at Zhang Yuqi in surprise. His ink could make the virus ineffective. He was sure that he had smashed Zhang Yuqi to pieces. How could this woman be resurrected?

"Really? Even though it's the end of the world and I shouldn't be picky about food, I still hate sashimi."

Zhang Yuqi slowly ground her teeth, and the moment she cut off the octopus's tentacles, she secretly ate the octopus's flesh and blood.

Slowly, a layer of ink was applied on Zhang Yuqi's skin, and she gained the ability of the octopus to spray ink. Even though she could not exert the power of a fourth-level monster, she also became resistant to the ink and would not lose her infectiousness because of the ink.

"I told you, don't underestimate humans."

This time, Zhang Yuqi's voice was very soft, but the people on the battlefield still heard it.

"Everyone, let's lend her our abilities! Humanity will definitely win!"

Qin Yang roared suddenly and activated his ability. Golden light suddenly burst out from Zhang Yuqi's body.

"Will win!"

"Defeat the monster!"

"Come on, goddess!"

All the infected people on the battlefield raised their hands, and the light emanating from Zhang Yuqi instantly became brighter than that from Qin Yang just now. This was the only hope people had after experiencing despair, and all of it was placed on Zhang Yuqi.

"You got my ability?" The octopus's densely packed pupils suddenly shrank.

It had not been fighting with all its strength in order to conserve its power, find Huo Ying, and kill him.

But now, a guy with the same strange ability as Huo Ying has appeared among humans. Although Zhang Yuqi can't hurt him yet, if Huo Ying and Zhang Yuqi join forces, there may be changes in the subsequent battles.

"Although you have absorbed my abilities, you are not my kind after all. An octopus has nine brains, three hearts, and every gene in its body can be reorganized. Are you ready to accept the reorganization?"

The octopus grinned and raised a tentacle.

This tentacle is the one that Zhang Yuqi sucked blood from.

Zhang Yuqi, who was covered in golden light, suddenly changed her expression.

She felt that the energy she absorbed had changed. Suddenly, a spiritual force appeared in her body, trying to seize control of her body.

The octopus monster was actually reorganizing its body. One of its brains drilled into the tentacle and desperately fought for control with the octopus's other two brains.

As the octopus reorganized and its abilities changed, the abilities Zhang Yuqi gained also changed synchronously.

As for Zhang Yuqi, she didn't have two brains, so her ink ability turned into a strange mental power that was about to tear her consciousness in half.

"This is the octopus that fought with Huo Ying. It seems that Zhang Yuqi is no match for him." Liang Yao breathed a sigh of relief. By combining the power of the first and second tails, Liang Yao can have a fourth-level combat power, which proves that she can defeat Zhang Yuqi.

Number One White Zetsu stood in the alley, and because of his camouflage ability, no one noticed the existence of Number One White Zetsu.

At this moment, Liang Yao and Bai Xizhi were using their shared abilities to watch the battle in XN City, while the two women were also analyzing it in the link.

"What I'm more concerned about is that Zhang Yuqi didn't use any of Huo Ying's abilities." Bai Xizhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Now it's confirmed that Zhang Yuqi can only absorb viruses, not chakra."

Liang Yao said: "Now, should we wait until Zhang Yuqi dies before we take action?"

"No." Bai Xizhi explained: "First of all, we will also face the day of promotion to level 4. Why not let Zhang Yuqi be the experimental subject and find a way. Secondly, according to the information Huo Ying brought back from the Azure Gene Laboratory, the level 4 infected people seem to be influenced by Chang'an City. This is very strange. We need new level 4 infected people to explore the way for us."

"You want to save Zhang Yuqi?" Liang Yao was a little surprised.

"It's not about saving Zhang Yuqi, but saving our experimental subject. Do you want Zhang Yuqi to die like this, or do you want us to tell her that we are sorry when we see her, but she is actually the real plaything."

Liang Yao was somewhat tempted, but still a little worried: "Is it possible that we won't be able to defeat her by then?"

Humph.

The one-tailed Shukaku and the two-tailed cat snorted at the same time.

"Little mother, now, please take a look at my strength."

The chakra of the two-tailed Nekomata appeared on the body of White Zetsu No. 1.

Really, you guys are not treating the power you exert as the full power of the tailed beasts.

"Hmm? I'm the eldest son, okay?"

Liang Yao keenly noticed the hidden meaning in Erwei's words.

Roar!
Just when humans were in despair, White Zetsu No. 1 suddenly roared.

The next second, the power of the Two-Tails was shared by Bai Xizhi to White Zetsu No. 1.

A huge cat appeared out of nowhere in XN City again, looking at the arrogant octopus from afar.

Tailed beast jade.

There was no saving of strength. The moment the two tails appeared, they used all their strength. The air in XN City began to boil, and even ripples appeared in the space, as if a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake.

Boom! The strong light made everything on the battlefield pale, blinding people and making it impossible to open their eyes. All the scenery lost its original color under this strong light.

Before the Level 4 Octopus could figure out what the Nekomata was, it was hit hard in the face by the Tailed Beast Ball.
