Devouring the Stars: Withdrawing Talents

Chapter 35 Found you
"puff!"

He casually killed a beast-soldier-level tiger mastiff. Although the distance from the supply base to the county town was only a hundred miles, Yang Wu had already killed more than ten ordinary beast-soldier-level monsters.

The road from the Northern Military Region to County Town No. 0231 is almost entirely wilderness. There are many scattered beast-soldier-level monsters, but there are very few beast-general-level monsters.

"But where is it?"

Yang Wu jumped onto the roof of the toll station, took out a telescope from his backpack, and looked in the direction of City 068.

What meets the eye are either overgrown fields or patches of gray and desolate forests. Along the highway, there is a tunnel near the city.

In order to confirm the location of the spirit of plants and trees, Yang Wu immediately ruled out the supply base and moved to the area of ​​County 0231.

This section of road is mostly fields and is close to the Northern Military Region. If a large number of monsters gather there, they will not be able to be hidden from the military's satellite detection.

"Strange fragrance?"

Yang Wu jumped off the roof and walked along the highway towards City 068.

Three hours later.

In the dilapidated tunnel, Yang Wu kicked away the monster corpse under his feet. From time to time, a monster would emerge from this tunnel, and most of them were weak beast soldiers.

But they also encountered three primary beast general-level monsters and even one intermediate beast general-level monster.

Generally speaking, beast general-level monsters are generally huge in size, but it is not ruled out that there are some smaller monsters, such as cockroaches, mice, spiders and other monsters.

These creatures were already small in size before their Great Nirvana. After mutation, even if they became beast general-level monsters, they were still much smaller than other monsters of the same level.

After killing the last beast-soldier-level cockroach monster that blocked his way, Yang Wu walked out of the tunnel. Looking at the abandoned city so close to him, he felt helpless.

We were almost at City 068, but we didn't smell any strange fragrance. Instead, we could smell a lot of rotten odor along the way.

There are two very direct clues in the simulation.

First: unique fragrance.

Second: A miraculous medicine that looks like a blackwood branch.

He couldn't count on the clue of the strange fragrance. The time difference was more than two months, so it didn't match at all.

Yes, if there really was a strange fragrance emanating during this period, it would have been discovered by other warriors long ago, and there would be no chance for the simulated self to notice it.

Suddenly, Yang Wu remembered the third-level rat tide that broke out in County No. 0231 in the original novel. It was caused by the rat beast leader fighting for the spirit of plants and trees and launching an angry attack after his failure.

That means that the spirit of plants and trees was eventually taken away by someone else, perhaps another monster or a human warrior.

"God of War Lu Gang?"

In the original novel, the real cause of Lu Gang's death was not mentioned. It said that when the rat tide broke out, three war god-level warriors entered the wilderness, and Lu Gang was surrounded by the endless rat tide and fell into the vast ocean of rat tide.

The rat tide's crazy attack at all costs caused Lu Gang, who possessed mid-level war god-level strength, to die, leaving no trace of his body.

But this is not true. With Lu Gang's mid-level war god-level strength, if he wants to escape after seizing the spirits of plants and trees, the rat tide will definitely not be able to catch up with him.

As for, because of greed for the spirits of plants and trees, he ventured deep into the center of the rat tide.

Yang Wu could only say that although the spirit of plants and trees had a strong attraction to the middle-level war god, it was not enough to make him risk his life to fight for it.

Someone like Yang Wu would never risk his life to fight for the spirit of a mere plant. Rather than taking this risk, it would be more practical to make friends with Luo Feng.

Excluding places like tunnels and fields, what remains are a few mountains and forests.

In the simulation, after Yang Wu seized the spirit of plants and trees, the furious rat beast leader launched a beast tide towards the nearest city, County 0231.

Therefore, the wild forest closest to County 0231 is very likely the home of the plant spirits. In fact, satellite recordings are not as mysterious or powerful as most people imagine.

Such as thick clouds, haze, buildings, mountains, tunnels, etc., these will more or less limit satellite detection.

There are obstructions in the mountains and forests, which may not be able to cover the gathering of several high-level beast general-level monsters, but this is not worth the military district mobilizing satellite resources.

Each of the military's satellites has its own purpose, either to monitor king-level monsters or to detect possible beast tides.

After locking the target.

Yang Wu stood up and immediately headed towards his destination, but when he arrived, he was stunned!

This...how can he find it?
The forest that came into view puzzled Yang Wu.

How do I find this?
After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and decided to use the most stupid and primitive method─
Blanket search!
He immediately did what he said. Carrying his backpack and Pojun spear, Yang Wu rushed straight into the forest and began searching bit by bit according to the divided areas.

Although the mountains and forests are not as dangerous as the abandoned cities, they are much more dangerous than those wilderness fields.

However, this depends on the terrain. In some large mountain ranges, there are many king-level monsters, not to mention lord-level monsters.

In less than half an hour, Yang Wu killed an intermediate beast general, two primary beast generals, and more than twenty beast soldier-level monsters.

After a round of killing, many monsters were finally scared away. Although it was a carpet search, Yang Wu would not be so stupid as to search one by one.

As long as the approximate range of the spirit of grass and trees is determined, Yang Wu will not be afraid that it will suddenly grow legs and run away. Due to racial restrictions, the spirit of grass and trees will never be able to escape from its birthplace on its own.

After plants transform into plant spirits, they already have simple awareness of attack and self-protection. When they feel their lives are threatened, they will protect themselves at all costs.

Either they possess the ability to attack, or they can confuse other monsters, or they try their best to hide themselves...

What Yang Wu wants to do is to create chaos and give it a sense of crisis little by little.

"Rumble..."

The branches were crying, the mountains and forests were shaking, the earth was trembling, and thousands of monsters were running wildly in the mountains and forests for their lives, causing such a huge movement that it seemed as if a strong earthquake had occurred.

Behind them, Yang Wu was slowly driving them away with a Broken Army Spear. The slow monsters were instantly killed by him.

These thousands of monsters may seem terrifying in number, but in fact most of them are beast soldier-level monsters, with only a few being primary beast general-level monsters.

All monster lords of intermediate level and above were taken care of by Yang Wu and killed as soon as possible.

Therefore, these remaining beast soldiers and generals are not subordinate to each other. Otherwise, Yang Wu would not dare to drive away the monsters so boldly.

"Hey, we need to add some more ingredients!"

It was almost dark, but he still hadn't detected any movement from the plant spirit. If he didn't speed up, he would have to stay and work overtime.

"Oh!"

Yang Wu suddenly sped up, and a beast-soldier-level monster running at the back of the herd was instantly swept away by the spear and fell into the herd of beasts rushing in front.

"Roar...roar..."

Under this stimulation, the beasts ran around even more frantically. Some unlucky junior beast soldiers were trampled to death by the beast general-level monsters before they could even react.

For a moment, the forest shook even more violently.

"Ha, I found you!"
