Chapter 1153: Chapter 470: Kill the Trumpet Flower Chapter 1153: Chapter 470: Kill the Trumpet Flower Moments later, Wang Tao and the others found Blacky.

Since there was a Level 5 Lord ahead, Blacky did not dare to go over and had been waiting here.

Wang Tao petted Blacky’s head and communicated with it for a bit.

It told Wang Tao that up ahead was a large Stone Forest, and it didn’t even know what type of stone it was made of but it was extremely hard; even with Blacky’s strength, it was somewhat indomitable.

The Stone Forest was intricate and complex, hiding many Mutated Plants, making it impossible to guard against. Moreover, in the center, there was a Level 5 Mutant Plant Lord.

“Weren’t there supposed to be Mutated Animals down here too, why are there only plants?”

Wang Tao asked curiously.

“It probably has to do with the direction we came from. Some areas have Mutated Animals, some have Mutated Plants, and some are mixed with both Mutated Plants and Animals…”

Hearing Wang Tao’s confusion, Han Rui promptly explained.

“I see.”

Wang Tao nodded, then addressed everyone, “Let’s go, we’re going in.”

Wang Tao led the team into the Stone Forest.

As they followed Wang Tao’s footsteps, the surrounding black fog began to disperse to each side, while the lights in Wei Zhenguo and the others’ hands slowly emitted a dazzling glow.

Hiss—-
As the glow spread outward, everyone faintly heard some strange and chilling sounds.

It was likely because these underground Mutated Plants had long been in the dark, and they were generally all averse to light. Although they were not as weakened by Ultraviolet Light as the Night Demon, their Attack Speed would slow down if the light shone upon them. This could be considered a weakness.

These chilling sounds were obviously emitted by the Mutated Plants feeling the light.

“You guys go clear out the other Mutated Plants, I’ll go check out that Level 5 Lord.”

Wang Tao directly instructed the group.

“Okay!”

The team immediately nodded.

No one suggested going to help Wang Tao; after all, on the way here, Wang Tao had fully displayed the meaning of instant kill! Level 4 Mutated Plants didn’t even warrant a second glance from him. A Level 5 Mutant Plant would clearly be no problem for Wang Tao, and if they went along, they might just get in the way.

The team quickly dispersed, with Wang Tao riding on Blacky’s head, letting it lead the way.

Occasionally encountering some Mutated Plants on the road, they were all instantly slain by Wang Tao’s High-Temperature Ray, leaving them no chance to counterattack.

Speaking of which, these underground Mutated Plants were somewhat different from the Mutated Plants Wang Tao encountered on the surface–the ones on the surface could move, while these underground ones seemed to be rooted in rocks, immobile.

To Wang Tao, this was also a weakness. After all, his Ranged Attack was still quite good, and combined with his Perception Ability and Night Vision, he could take out Mutated Plants from a distance, which was especially convenient…

It’s not known whether these Mutated Plants could communicate with each other, or if the Level 5 Mutant Plant Lord had a strong Perception Ability, but the moment Wang Tao laid eyes on this Level 5 Plant Lord, he came under Attack.

Whoosh—-
Watching the Venom Shot that flew toward him, Wang Tao immediately had Blacky retreat.

Zizilala—-
A few drops of venom fell on the nearby rocks, making a sizzling noise, quickly burning several small pits.

“Such potent poison! And it’s a Ranged Attack…”

Wang Tao frowned, as a Ranged Attack from a Mutated Plant could diminish some of his advantages.

However, it wasn’t a big problem. He had Blacky temporarily leave the area to avoid being affected.

Whoosh—-
More Venom Shots flew towards him, and Wang Tao dodged again. Meanwhile, he looked towards the Mutated Plant nestled in the rock crevice.

[HP: 300000/300000]
[Mana: 300000/300000]
[Level: Level 5, Lord]
[Awakening: Venom Shot]
[Venom Shot: Ejects venom from its body]
The plant looked like a Trumpet Flower but was overall dark green in color and quite large. Its large Loudspeaker was aimed right at Wang Tao.

Whoosh—-
A few more drops of venom flew at him, and as Wang Tao dodged, a red light flashed in his eyes.

Zi—-
Two beams of scorching red light shot out instantaneously.

The High-Temperature Ray was much faster than the venom, and it hit the Mutated Trumpet Flower’s head before the Venom Shot could reach him.

[-20378]
[-21845]
[-22124]

[175601/300000]
Hiss—-
The Mutated Trumpet Flower let out a chilling howl, then retracted its head, avoiding the High-Temperature Ray, and immediately buried itself into the Stone Forest, disappearing from Wang Tao’s sight.

“… It ran away?”

Wang Tao opened his mouth, a bit speechless.

He had been all set for a tough battle, but the opponent had fled?

However, considering the damage he inflicted… If he were the Trumpet Flower, he would run too…

Wang Tao’s [Scorching Eyes] wasn’t a one-off damage Ability, but a continuous damage Ability. As long as there was Awakening Energy supply, it could inflict damage every half second.

When he previously attacked the Level 4 Lords among the Mutated Plants, [Scorching Eyes] was fully unleashed, and even a Hundred Thousand Blood opponent could be instantly killed, so there was no sustained damage.

This Mutated Trumpet Flower was a Level 5 Lord, its strength naturally incomparable to the Level 4 Lord. Even if Wang Tao still went all out, his High-Temperature Ray only caused about twenty thousand damage to the Mutated Trumpet Flower.

But as a continuos output Ability, since it couldn’t instantly kill, it would cause sustained output.

And the result of continued output was over twenty thousand damage every half second!

Wang Tao just stared at the Mutated Trumpet Flower for two or three seconds, and its three hundred thousand HP was reduced to one hundred seventy-five thousand.

If it dared to let Wang Tao look any longer, it would be finished. So it was normal for it to be scared away. If it were Wang Tao, he would run too.
