Chapter 422: Consuming the Munch-Munch Fruit

The sky was a jewel-like azure, and the pure white clouds were like ribbons drifting in the air.

A gentle breeze blew, carrying a light mist through the dense forest, and the lush green trees swayed like waves.

The freshness of nature had not yet been buried; green is a good color.

Looking down at the surface through the porthole of the fighter jet, Zhang Jie could not help but feel refreshed.

"Dear passengers, we have arrived at the destination of this flight. Please disembark in an orderly manner."

Several hours later, the fighter jet landed at a military base.

During the Great Nirvana, countless animals mutated into monsters. The Australian continent was already sparsely populated,

and since it was formerly a prison for exiled mortals from Great Britain,

it bore the nickname "a prison disguised as a country." Lacking martial virtue, it was wiped out by hundreds of millions of monsters,

becoming a monster paradise just like the island nation whose capital was trampled by the massive number of monsters crawling out of the sea.

To this day, with the strength of immigrants who do not even have a Planetary-level powerhouse,

reclaiming the territory and restoring the nation are naturally indefinitely far off.

They can only survive under the protection of major powers like the Five Great Nations and the two major martial arts halls.

In such a place, only a military base with powerful armed forces can guarantee a certain level of safety.

Even so, quite a few military bases have been breached by monster tides over the years.

The reason the major powers are willing to face the threat of monster tides to establish military bases here

is, on one hand, to use them as strongholds to monitor the monsters here, preventing the appearance of monster emperors like the Thunder Dragon Emperor

or the Eight-Clawed Emperor, which would threaten the entire human race.

On the other hand, it is also because of the rich local specialties here; those who stand firm here all earn a fortune.

The military base Zhang Jie arrived at this time was under the name of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall,

specifically serving elite training camp students and martial arts hall powerhouses who came for training.

Zhang Jie surveyed the heavily guarded military base, with machine guns and anti-aircraft guns standing everywhere,

and even laser cannons specifically used to deter King-level monsters.

Wearing a black combat suit evolved from the Black God Set, and carrying the SS-grade Blood Shadow Battle Knife

exchanged with points from the elite training camp, which could break the defense of King-level monsters, he plunged into the wilderness outside the base.

At this moment, he could be said to be armed to the teeth, and he already had enough strength to execute the plan in his heart.

As long as he succeeds, he will have a place for himself on the entire Water Blue Star,

and it is not impossible to end the war between humans and monsters on Water Blue Star one step ahead of Luo Feng.

……

"Finally here!"

Several days later, after passing through the territory of the Thunder-Galloping Rhino, which roams the central plains of the Australian continent

and has 32 High-level Lord-level monsters under its command,

and fighting several major battles, slaying several High-level Lord-level monsters under his blade,

Zhang Jie, having reached the hinterland of the Australian continent, looked at the lake spanning dozens of miles before him and sighed with emotion.

However, what attracted his attention was not the huge lake before him,

but the island in the middle of the lake, which was located in the lake and had a diameter of roughly a dozen miles.

Even though the sun was shining brightly at this time, the island was still shrouded in thick fog, appearing very eerie.

But this could not scare Zhang Jie; he came specifically for this.

With spiritual power acting on the metal combat boots under his feet, Zhang Jie stepped across the wide lake surface and entered the Wu Dao.

The plants on the island were unusually lush, and even though it was the end of winter, they showed great vitality.

Tap, tap.

Zhang Jie walked quickly through the lush plants.

Hiss!

Suddenly, a man-eating flower monster that looked like a man-eating flower but was dozens of times larger than an ordinary one suddenly opened its petals,

pouncing toward Zhang Jie like a beast hunting for food, intending to turn him into a delicious meal.

Ordinary beasts, after being infected by the RR virus, generally become violent, with even fiercer and more savage temperaments.

Apparently, plants also gained this characteristic after being infected; the man-eating flower, which originally hunted insects by relying on scent and mucus traps

and did not eat humans, had become a man-eating flower in the true sense.

"Little thing, I've been waiting for you!"

The corners of Zhang Jie's mouth curled up slightly. With spiritual power and Observation Haki, how could he be easily ambushed?

With force from his wrist, the Blood Shadow Battle Knife he had been holding ready turned into a shadow,

appearing on the man-eating flower's only path. Borrowing its own impact force, he sliced it into two halves without any effort.

Ignoring the man-eating flower that was still struggling on the ground but was already dead, Zhang Jie continued to rush into the depths of the Wu Dao.

The fog here was strange and had the effect of suppressing spiritual power and Observation Haki, these kinds of mental abilities,

so even though Zhang Jie's perception ability was enough to cover a small city outside, he had to measure it step by step here.

Knowing that the Wu Dao was not simple, he did not dare to make too big a move, maintaining caution,

as if he were an ordinary martial artist who had accidentally broken into the Wu Dao.

The further he went inside, the more lush the plants on the Wu Dao became, developing from dozens of meters to hundreds of meters high.

After a while, a huge willow tree, which stood out from the crowd even among trees hundreds of meters high,

with lush branches and leaves and a diameter of several meters, stood before Zhang Jie's eyes.

Zhang Jie narrowed his eyes: "Spirits of vegetation!"

Spirit of Grass and Wood is a general term for a class of plants that have evolved.

This type of plant is somewhat similar to the heavenly treasures in novels, which are of great benefit to the cultivation of martial artists.

Spirits of Grass and Wood can be divided into thousand-year Spirits of Grass and Wood and ten-thousand-year Kings of Spirits of Grass and Wood according to their efficacy.

Of course, this does not mean that the Spirit of Grass and Wood has really lived for so many years,

but it is only classified according to their efficacy; after all, it has only been a few decades since the Great Nirvana.

The core of a thousand-year Spirit of Grass and Wood, after being consumed, can greatly increase cell activity,

increase the body's recovery speed by several times, and cause a leap in physical fitness.

The effect is stronger than a portion of Dragon Blood, and it can cause a Low-level War God to directly leap to a High-level War God.

And this willow-type Spirit of Grass and Wood before his eyes, judging by its body shape, is even a ten-thousand-year King of Spirits of Grass and Wood!

A ten-thousand-year King of Spirits of Grass and Wood has an effect that can make all High-level War Gods and Invincible War Gods crazy:

it possesses the miraculous effect of breaking through limits, which can enable a High-level War God to break through the Planetary-level bottleneck!

If the news that there is a ten-thousand-year Spirit of Grass and Wood here were to spread,

those High-level War Gods and Invincible War Gods who are stuck by the Planetary-level bottleneck and are in agony

would probably directly trample the Wu Dao to the ground!

Zhang Jie also came for this: although with his talent, the Planetary-level bottleneck would not necessarily keep him stuck,

preventing him from making any progress, the transition from War God to Planetary-level is a transformation of the life level,

which requires huge energy, and his accumulation is not enough.

Since his accumulation is not enough, he has to choose external objects to make up for it.

Step!

Boom!

Zhang Jie exerted force under his feet, and his whole body instantly turned from extreme stillness to extreme motion, breaking the sound barrier,

rushing toward the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow King with an attack wave like that produced by a fighter jet flying at supersonic speed.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Willow King, as a plant-type monster, although it does not possess intelligence no less than humans like animal-type Lord-level monsters,

is not a pushover either, possessing attack and defense consciousness, especially a strong self-preservation consciousness.

It immediately discovered Zhang Jie, this undisguised intruder,

and branches hundreds of meters long slashed toward Zhang Jie like wild dragons; the branches are its main means of attack and defense.

Although Zhang Jie's speed was fast, he could not rush to the trunk of the Willow King before the branches arrived.

After all, anyone who has had the experience of wielding a whip knows that when wielding a whip, it is always easy to make a crisp sound;

this is because the energy of the whip is all concentrated at the tip of the whip, causing the tip of the whip to exceed the speed of sound and produce a sonic boom.

Ordinary people wielding a whip are like this, let alone a High-level Lord-level monster like the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow King.

Zhang Jie wielded his battle knife to resist, discovering that the branches of the Willow King not only had flexibility far exceeding conventional materials,

but were also unusually tough, probably able to withstand missile bombardment and the knife slashes of High-level War Generals.

Unfortunately, he is no longer a War General now, but a Mid-level War God who is only one step away from a High-level War God.

As the battle knife was wielded, the branches were like rotten leather, easily severed. ===== CHAPTER 423 =====
