In the year 2048, following the fall of a meteorite to Earth, an unknown gas was emitted. Subsequently, species globally began to mutate, and humanity was no longer at the apex of the food chain. C...
Wang Lan and her brother Sun Muchen immediately took precautions.
They had witnessed the power of tree roots before; the impact of their explosions was stronger than that of hand grenades. Now, with so many tree roots gathered together, the consequences of an explosion would be unimaginable.
What terrified the two even more was that the number of tree roots was increasing, and the "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound came one after another, while the tree roots that fell to the ground made a constant "chirp chirp chirp".
"Mu Chen," Wang Lan wanted to shield Sun Muchen behind her, but found that, apart from the river beside them, the tree roots had surrounded them on three sides, leaving them with nowhere to retreat. Wang Lan had no choice but to say to Sun Muchen, "Can you repair the dent?"
"Huh?" Sun Muchen couldn't believe his ears and asked, "What...what did you say?"
Wang Lan said seriously, "The Vajra Umbrella was damaged in the previous battle with the giant infected. It has dents and cannot be opened. There are too many tree roots. If you can control the energy to repair the dents, you might be able to open the umbrella and achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Stop joking..." Sun Muchen said, "Let's get serious!"
"..."
Wang Lan said, "Don't use your skills rashly later. The consumption is too great. If you collapse, facing these tree roots will be too troublesome."
Upon hearing this, Sun Muchen immediately nodded. After all, when it came to combat, she still needed to listen to Wang Lan's advice. So, as the light faded, she took out her longbow.
Then he asked, "Brother, if the enemy doesn't move, we don't move either?"
Wang Lan took a deep breath and said, "If we don't make a move now, they will definitely make one anyway. Let's attack directly!"
In the sound of voices.
The tree roots in front of them emitted a bright red light from the inside out.
Wang Lan took a deep breath, grabbed the Vajra Umbrella, and rushed forward.
Sun Muchen turned around, raised his longbow, reached for the quiver behind him, nocked the string, and then his expression froze!
She actually pulled out a roasted and dried fish?
"Ugh, bro, this is so annoying, it's all your fault!"
Sun Muchen immediately shouted, then threw away the grilled fish and reached behind him, but Wang Lan had stuffed the fish too tightly. This time, Sun Muchen finally touched the arrow, but he couldn't pull it out.
"Ugh! I'm so angry!"
Sun Muchen simply gave up using the bow and arrow.
Wang Lan had already rushed to the front of the tree roots. He saw the red light emanating from the tree roots growing brighter and brighter, and the chirping sound becoming more and more violent. Without thinking, he brought down the Vajra Umbrella in his hand and then swept it out horizontally.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
Several sounds rang out in succession, and the leading tree roots were immediately sent flying by Wang Lan, landing among the group of tree roots behind them.
Explosions erupted suddenly, followed by one after another.
In an instant, the flames seemed to shoot into the sky, and as the earth crumbled, they ignited the surrounding tree roots as well.
Sun Muchen then began to activate his skill, blue light emanating from his fingertips and heading towards the tree roots in front of him, transforming into a large blue net that enveloped the tree roots.
Tree roots explode!
A fiery red burst of light erupted amidst the blue glow. The explosion was incredibly violent, instantly shattering Sun Muchen's skill. The flames spread rapidly in all directions, igniting the nearby tree roots.
However, Sun Muchen also seemed to be greatly affected by the shattering of her skills. Her body trembled and her face turned pale instantly.
The tree roots, which were being ignited, exploded one after another, with deafening roars echoing throughout the area. Flames erupted and burned fiercely, igniting the surrounding forest and raising the temperature of the area in an instant.
Wang Lan had already retreated after the first wave of attacks and happened to be next to Sun Muchen. Seeing Sun Muchen's haggard face out of the corner of his eye, he immediately understood and said, "Why aren't you using a bow and arrow?"
Sun Muchen should have listened, but after hearing Wang Lan's words, his pale face turned red with anger, and he said, "Isn't this all your fault! The quiver is so full of fish that I can't pull out any arrows at all!"
Wang Lan was taken aback and looked at the quiver. He saw that the arrows were indeed squeezed tightly inside the quiver by the grilled fish and did not move at all.
At this moment, the tree roots had regrouped, moved away from the exploded tree roots, consciously created a firebreak, and then rushed towards the brother and sister again.
Wang Lan planted the Vajra Umbrella in the ground, snatched the longbow and quiver, slung them over his shoulder, and said, "Use the Vajra Umbrella, but don't use any skills. The power of the tree root explosion will have too much impact on your skills and will cause a backlash that will harm you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Lan reached behind him to grab the arrow, but found that it was indeed difficult to remove. So he increased his strength and pulled the arrow out forcefully.
Draw the bow and nock the arrow.
Gathering power!
It shot out suddenly!
The arrow, drawn to its fullest extent, unleashed power far exceeding that of Sun Muchen's arrow; the black arrow seemed to pierce the roots of the leaping trees the instant it was released.
Wang Lan's arrow was also perfectly controlled. After passing through the tree root, it pushed the root backward, and the weight of the root pressed the arrow down. As a result, the black arrow drew a parabola in mid-air and then stuck in the ground.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Two explosions rang out one after the other.
Sun Muchen also rushed into the tree roots, his Vajra Umbrella dancing in the wind, like an indestructible iron rod, waving it to send the tree roots flying, exploding in mid-air.
