Chapter 265 264. Fierce Battle
The entire Taoist palace seemed to be frozen.

Huaiyu huddled behind the beam, sweating profusely from anxiety.

Plants plants plants!

Why is this palace so empty, without even a single mutant plant!

And Zhou Qian, the blood on his arm was still flowing! But the mutant macaque looked so scary, with the sharp claws covered in blood!

Huaiyu closed his eyes, took a deep and slow breath, trying not to attract the other person's attention, and then used all his strength to feel...

plant!

plant!

Even if it was just an ordinary plant, as long as Zhou Qian could delay for some time, she could use her two abilities to create a chance!

Huaiyu came back to his senses and suddenly looked at the altar beside him, which was covered with a thick layer of dust. There was also a curtain hanging under the altar, and nothing could be seen clearly at the moment. While Huaiyu's eyes were fixed on the macaque that was still confronting Zhou Qian, his other hand quietly pushed aside the curtain.

Besides the four pillars, there was also a wide and dark space inside.

Huaiyu tried hard to suppress his pounding heart, held his breath, endured the dust in the room, and then crawled inside silently.

The curtain fluttered slightly, and the not-so-good polyester cloth made a rustling sound. The mutant macaque looked over here with its scarlet eyes, but the next moment, Zhou Qian quickly rushed up!
"squeak!"

Its attention was instantly attracted, and it decisively jumped towards Zhou Qian, waving its sharp claws!

Below the altar, the curtains were hung down and it was pitch black all around. Huaiyu could not see anything clearly, as if he was in an environment even more terrifying than the outside world.

But for some reason, she could feel that she would be safe here.

Until I reached forward with my palm, I could feel something like cool, slightly moist, thin, tender roots, layer upon layer, interweaving and entwining from the ground upwards, and then disappearing in an instant.

What she could touch was a huge, flexible and dense object.

What is it?
Huaiyu's heart was pounding. Although she couldn't see anything clearly, she knew that what was in front of her was the tree cocoon she had been looking for.

The reason why it is called a tree cocoon is because it is made up of dense milky white roots. It feels cool to the touch, but it feels soft and thick when you lie in it...

It's like the safest fortress in the world.

Wait, a fortress?!
Huaiyu came to his senses and without saying a word, he groped for the opening of the tree cocoon and then pulled it out with all his might.

Originally, she could sense that the roots were firmly embedded in the ground, and she could only tear them apart if she wanted to pull them out. But as she exerted force, the roots had already retracted one after another, so that she only had to exert a little effort to pull out the thick and solid cocoon.

The moment she pushed open the curtain, Huaiyu carefully huddled behind the tree cocoon. With the bright light, she could finally see what the tree cocoon looked like.

It was just as I had imagined.

The white fibrous roots are densely packed and interwoven like loofah sponges. They are so thick that they cannot be pressed down by hand, and they are quite heavy to drag.

The shape of the entire tree cocoon is like half of a sphere, but it forms a delicate plane on the side that touches the ground, so that it will not fall over when it is fixed on the ground. Because it is spacious enough, although not long enough, even a strong man like Zhou Qian can lie in it easily as long as he curls up a little.

If it weren't for the opening on top, it would look like an airtight fortress.

At this moment, the fight between Zhou Qian and the mutant macaque has become fierce!
There were bloody marks on his arms, chest and waist, but the mutant macaque only limped after jumping and landing with its teeth bared. It was obvious to the naked eye who had the upper hand between the man and the monkey.

Huaiyu's heart started beating wildly again.

Zhou Qian had no special abilities. He was now gasping for breath while supporting himself with one hand. Beads of sweat fell from his forehead, splashing up tiny dust on the ground.

"cough!"

The dust raised by the fight not only blocked his vision, but also hindered his smooth breathing. Huai Yu was extremely anxious, but the effect of his supernatural power on the tree cocoon was like a drop in the ocean, and there was no movement at all.

After a moment, the mutant macaque moved its legs and feet - it had already developed a combat strategy like a human, and before the final attack, it confirmed that the injuries on its body were not serious.

And now, even if Huaiyu didn't understand the situation of the battle, he could see that both sides were finding it exhausting and wanted to end the battle quickly - especially the macaques.

He just needs to move his claws a little further...

"Zhou Qian!" Huai Yu shouted, and when the mutant macaque leaped over like lightning, he somehow got the strength from somewhere and pulled the entire tree cocoon upright!

"Shua!" There was another violent sound of claws sliding. Huai Yu huddled in the concave side of the tree cocoon and trembled all over, but Zhou Qian realized that -

The mutant macaque's sharp claws were unable to cut open the strange bowl-shaped object in front of it.

His eyes lit up!
The next moment, Huaiyu didn't care whether the mutant macaque could understand human language or not, and just shouted loudly: "Zhou Qian! Come in quickly!"

She can't hold on to this heavy cocoon anymore!
Zhou Qian rushed over quickly, and the mutant macaque was so competitive that its sharp claws were always invincible in the jungle, but now it couldn't cut the thing in front of it -

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

The violent and dull sound made Zhou Qian approach quickly and give a flying kick!
He hadn't fought anyone for a long time, so his fighting consciousness was still stuck in the time before his legs were intact. But after the life-and-death fight just now, he had realized that his prosthetic limbs would be more powerful and defensive than his other right leg!
At this moment, the powerful flying kick was also delivered with that leg!

Huai Yu was struggling to hold on to the tree cocoon that was about to trap her in a bowl - she had to hold on! She couldn't fall down and give the other party a chance to take advantage of her, nor could she trap herself so that Zhou Qian couldn't dodge in the first place.

Therefore, she did not notice that Zhou Qian's kick hit the mutant ape directly in the face, just like the kick he had just given it on the leg and body!
At the moment of contact, a puff of yellow powder was shaken out with the violent impact. But this time, the other person's face did not have the thick and shiny hair on his body.

"Come in quickly!" Huaiyu couldn't hold on any longer.

Zhou Qian couldn’t hold on any longer - the injuries on his waist and arms forced him to concentrate all his strength on his legs, and as he lost blood, his whole body became shaky.

At this moment, after a flying kick, he saw the macaque stagger back two steps to make room, and he immediately got into the gap left by Huai Yu!
The two of them curled up their bodies, pulling the two sides of the cocoon with their hands, and then with a "bang", they fell upside down on the ground like a bowl.

Update 2, good night. There is another update next door, writing it.
