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

Chapter 24 Wooden Man
Huo Ying expanded his search scope.

Wearing the weight, Huo Ying felt as if he had adapted to the weight of the wooden board on his body.

With the protection of the sacred tree, the effect of physical exercise seems to be significantly improved.

Yesterday's raid was quite harsh. Huo Ying searched for a long time but couldn't find where the corpse ghost was hiding.

More importantly, the charging speed of solar flashlights is far less than the consumption speed, and the light of the flashlight is getting weaker and weaker.

Huo Ying sighed. It seemed that his plan to quickly kill zombies during the day would come to an end. At least he had to wait until the flashlight was fully charged.

Looking up, Huo Ying saw a wooden man standing in front of a low house with acupuncture point symbols painted on him.

"It seems like we need to draw a map. We can't just walk around randomly. We ended up at that couple's house again."

Huo Ying thought about it, stretched out his hand and created a wooden board. A dent slowly appeared on the board. If you look closely, the dent is a line, which is a simple map of Huo Ying's house to the low mountain, and Huo Ying's house to the wooden man's house.

In order to facilitate the analysis, Huo Ying also specially marked several coordinates. The Blue Gene, the playground, Liang Yao's home, and Zhang Yuqi's home were all engraved with names along the lines controlled by Huo Ying.

Seeing that it was still early, Huo Ying walked forward while drawing. The outline of the street gradually emerged on the wooden board. The magic of Wood Release once again helped Huo Ying. As long as he saw it, he could concentrate on imagining the picture on the wooden board.

As he walked, Huo Ying suddenly stopped.

Another wooden man appeared in front of him.

"I've gone full circle again?"

Huo Ying hesitated for a moment, because the wooden man's low house in front of him was exactly the same as the previous one, but after taking a look at the lines on the wooden board, Huo Ying was sure that he definitely did not take the same route twice.

"Could it be that the couple has several houses?"

Huo Ying did not dare to investigate rashly. He took out his harpoon and shot an arrow at the wooden man.

Benedict!
Huo Ying's wooden arrow was harder. It was nailed to the wooden man, and the tail of the arrow kept shaking.

Huo Ying recorded the scene in his eyes onto the wooden board and specially marked where the wooden man was hit by an arrow.

After identifying the marks on the wooden board, Huo Ying walked towards his home. When he reached the place where the men's and women's houses were originally marked on the map, Huo Ying was stunned again.

A wooden man with an arrow shot through his body appeared in front of him.

"Damn it! When did I fall into this illusion?"

Huo Ying hurriedly took out the Yang Stone and roasted it red, but the Yang Stone did not get hot, and there was no corpse ghost around Huo Ying.

"what happened!"

Huo Ying raised his harpoon, lit the wolf-tooth arrow, and shot the burning arrow at the wooden man.

The wooden man is an ordinary wooden man. The yang energy in the poplar wood cannot take effect and the flame burns very slowly.

Huo Ying didn't believe it, so he turned around with his spear in hand and ran towards another wooden man. Sure enough, when he reached the location drawn on the wooden board, he saw a burning wooden man in front of the low house.

"A trick to hit the wall?"

Huo Ying looked up. The sun in the sky was very hot. It was noon.

"What if I ignore these wooden figures and return to my home?"

Huo Ying muttered something and started walking again. He no longer believed in the lines on the wooden board, but began to look for the low hills. After seeing the low hills from a distance, Huo Ying took a detour and took the road he was most familiar with.

Huo Ying didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw the water tank on the roof and his own house.

"Fortunately, we're home."

"What on earth just happened? Why did I encounter a ghost wall?"

Huo Ying took out the Yang Stone, heated it with a lighter, and made sure that the Yang Stone was not hot. Then Huo Ying walked straight to his room and stretched out his hand.

The next second, Huo Ying's wooden armor suddenly appeared, protecting Huo Ying from all sides, and Huo Ying's action of pushing the door came to an abrupt stop. He suddenly jumped far away, and at the same time, a harpoon appeared in each hand, and he shot fiercely at the door.

Puff, puff. It wasn't the sound of bullets hitting the door, but the sound of bullets hitting flesh.

A strong wind blew against Huo Ying's chest.

squeak--

Along with the strong wind, Huo Ying's sturdy wooden armor made a harsh friction sound, and four deep finger marks suddenly appeared on Huo Ying's chest.

Just a little bit more, the finger marks would penetrate the wooden board and tear open Huo Ying's chest.

If the wooden board wasn't strong enough, even if Huo Ying jumped fast, he wouldn't be able to escape this claw.

The cracks in the wooden armor were instantly repaired by the Wood Release. Huo Ying, who was hiding in the wooden armor, felt his hair stand on end. He lit the arrow and shot a rocket at the gate. Only two thuds were heard, and the rocket hit the gate and fell to the ground, without any effect.

Run, must run!
But where to run!
The first thing Huo Ying thought of was the short mountain.

The low hill is covered with yang stones. As long as you light the low hill on fire, a large number of yang stones will be burned red, and you will be able to break the strange phenomenon before your eyes.

Thinking of this, Huo Ying turned around and ran. He did not dare to take a detour. Relying on the protection of the wooden armor, he rushed straight to the low hill. In front of him was a broken wall. There was a shadow under the corner of the wall. Huo Ying had no time to hide from the shadow. He lit the rocket and shot two arrows at the shadow. Huo Ying took a big step, trying to climb over the broken wall in one step.

A scarlet eye suddenly opened in the shadows, and a strange smile appeared in the pupil.

The two rockets were inserted into it, but they had no effect at all.

Seeing Huo Ying flying into the air, the corpse ghost hiding in the shadows suddenly pounced towards Huo Ying.

If Huo Ying could see, he would be able to see the corpse's rotten face, with its facial features raised strangely, and the corpse was smiling.

If the corpse ghost could see, it would definitely find that Huo Ying, who was tightly wrapped in wooden armor, was also smiling at the moment he jumped towards the shadow.

Wood escape, the art of stabbing.

Huo Ying jumped high and instantly turned into a hedgehog.

This is not the end. Tender branches actually appeared on the solid wooden thorns. The emerald green branches were like arms, constantly searching for something.

Everything happened in an instant. All sorts of sounds suddenly rang out on the tender branches, including the sound of bowstrings snapping, the sound of sunstones colliding, and -

There was also the sound of a lighter going off.

boom!
When the flames touched the poplar wood, Huo Ying, who was covered with thorns, instantly turned into a huge fireball.

The corpse ghost that pounced on Huo Ying had no time to dodge. It was first stabbed by the sudden wooden thorns, and then ignited by the flames.

Click.

The world seemed like an eggshell that was suddenly broken into pieces.

Huo Ying regained his perspective and saw himself crashing into the shadow of the corner and bumping into a familiar corpse.

Yes, Huo Ying recognized that look. The one who was pierced and burned by Huo Ying’s wooden armor was the leading corpse ghost who had been harassing Huo Ying for several nights in a row!

"Little tricks."

Huo Ying's eyes were full of mockery.

Since hallucinations have already appeared, I feel like I'm trapped in a wall.

Is it possible that feeling is also false?

Is the Yang Stone that you bake red by yourself really a Yang Stone?

Is the rocket that you ignite yourself really ignited?

Is a lighter that you press yourself really a lighter?

Is the house I return to really my home?
