Chapter 105 - Lord Ranked Monster, Tree Spirit!
Stark looked at the fruit in his hand.
He hadn’t expected it to attract so many monsters.
Before, he hadn’t taken the seed seriously.
But now, it seemed that things weren’t as simple as he had thought.
Just the sprout alone was enough to drive the giant wolf crazy.
What if a branch grew?
Or a flower bud appeared?
Then the strange smell emitted at that time was simply unimaginable to Stark.
He was afraid that when that time came, the entire area would be alarmed!
After all, this was the key to his class awakening.
If it was taken away by other creatures, everything would be finished.
To him, it was definitely a huge loss.
“Wait… If this seed matures, it will attract a large number of monsters!
“And when the seed matures, it will need the blood of the creatures killed to sustain it!”
Stark seemed to have grasped the crux of the problem.
“If I can use it to attract a batch of monsters when the seed matures, and then let them fight in the end!”
Thinking of this, Stark’s eyes lit up.
To fully mature the seed would require 100,000 lives.
If Stark had to kill this number, he didn’t know how long it would take.
However, if the seed itself could attract monsters, then all of this would naturally be possible.
Moreover, Stark also remembered something.
Now that his undead power had advanced, he also needed to kill creatures.
And recently, it was the day of Monster Carnival.
The monsters were all in groups of tens of thousands.
If he could attract a few waves of monsters, the same number as the previous crisis in the stronghold, then this mission would naturally be possible.
“But, how should I make them fight?”
Thinking up to this point, Stark found another huge problem.
How could the monsters fight each other?
After experiencing what had happened in the stronghold, Stark knew that there was a leader among these groups of monsters.
In the stronghold, Stark had defeated them because he had killed the zombie leader.
In other words, the zombie leader was their king, and it was also responsible for giving orders.
As long as they were there, it was impossible for the monsters to fight each other.
While Stark thought about this problem, he walked into the forest.
Along the way, because of the Evil King’s Demonic Fruit, there were monsters constantly pouncing on Stark.
However, they were all killed by the undead Lucas, who was beside him.
At this moment, Stark actually unknowingly walked in front of a giant locust tree.
Here, the monsters that had pounced on him had finally disappeared
Moreover, it was abnormally quiet.
It was so quiet that it was as if they were not in the dangerous Lorraine Forest at all.
“This is…”
Stark’s gaze was suddenly attracted by the giant locust tree in front of him.
The detection spell instantly made his pupils move.
This was because he was surprised to discover that the locust tree in front of him was actually a Transcendent creature!
[Name: Ancient Locust Tree
Race: Tree Spirit
Level: Lord level 40
Description: A bloodthirsty locust tree that devours nearby creatures.]
“It’s actually a lord-tier monster? !”
Stark’s eyes were filled with shock.
From what he knew since the beginning of the apocalypse, a lord-tier monster was a level stronger than an elite-tier monster.
In other words, the strength of the locust tree in front of him was most likely not weaker than his own.
He did not make a sound.
Stark immediately hid his aura to the maximum.
The most important thing now was to consume the Evil King’s Demon Fruit as soon as possible.
He did not need to fight with this locust tree.
In his stealth state, as long as he did not attack, the lord-tier tree spirit would naturally not be able to discover his tracks.
“Wait, my Evil King’s Demon Fruit is still emitting a strange smell!”
Stark suddenly realized his negligence.
The seed had already sprouted, and the smell it emitted had made the monsters along the way go crazy.
If the old locust tree discovered him…
Then he would inevitably have to fight.
Immediately, Stark wanted to leave this place with the seed.
But just as Stark took a few steps…
He suddenly discovered that the locust tree did not react at all.
In fact, its lush branches were still swaying in the air, as if there was not a single trace of madness.
One had to know that this little bit of time was enough for the locust tree to smell this scent.
Just as Stark was wondering if the locust tree was asleep…
A rhinoceros suddenly charged into the locust tree’s coverage area.
“Rustle!”
Ten thousand branches moved like a godly whip.
The rhinoceros did not even have time to react before it was trapped by the locust tree branches and was suspended in the air.
Accompanied by a series of mournful roars, the locust tree sent the rhinoceros to the front of the tree trunk.
“Ka-cha!” The Ancient Locust Tree, which had a diameter of more than 10 meters, suddenly had a burning wound.
Like a human’s mouth, it directly chewed and swallowed the rhinoceros!
A stream of bright red blood flowed along the trunk and onto the ground.
Then, everything seemed to return to peace.
Looking at all this, Stark stopped in his tracks.
He knew that the locust tree was definitely not asleep. In fact, it was abnormally awake.
“Could it be that it has no reaction to the fragrance of my seed!?”
A thought suddenly flashed through Stark’s mind.
In his hidden state, he boldly brought the seeds to the main trunk of the Ancient Locust Tree.
However, the locust tree still had no reaction at all.
It even gave Stark an illusion that the locust tree seemed to have smelled the fragrance, and the speed at which its branches swayed was even faster, as if it was relaxed and happy.
Perhaps this seed is only effective on animals, but it has no effect on mutated plants!
At the thought of this…
A perfect plan to kill 100,000 creatures appeared in Stark’s mind.
In order to verify the idea in his mind…
Stark walked behind the old locust tree with the seed.
Through his observation just now, he had discovered that there were a large number of mutated plants hidden in this area.
They seemed to have formed a triangle in this forest.
The mutated plants within the three areas did not interfere with each other.
However, once a monster intruded into their territory, they would attack and devour it.
Of course, while they had such powerful strength, they also had a weakness.
That was, every single mutated plant could not walk, which was why they were hiding here.
They disguised themselves as an ordinary tree, waiting for their prey to take the bait!
And the locust tree was only a slightly stronger one among these mutated plants.
They carefully concealed themselves.
Stark’s steps were extremely small, constantly shuttling between these mutated plants.
He was afraid that a careless move would alarm these plants.
After all, the mutated plants in the apocalypse were no weaker than the monsters.
Especially after entering their territory.
To test his ideas, Stark slowly moved forward in the area of the mutated plants.
