Chapter 197 Why Are You So Cruel?

When everyone's attention was focused on the tree roots, a branch suddenly fell from the sky and pierced a boy's heart without warning. It lifted him up high, and the branch pierced into his blood vessels, sucking blood.

The man's blood kept flowing out, and in just a moment, he turned into a dried corpse.

This scene was so horrifying that Cheng Jiang and his group, Song Dechang and others were all stunned. They stood there with their eyes wide open, forgetting to eat or to escape.

Mu Cheng was already used to such scenes and was still eating her lollipop calmly.

"Bang!" After the man's blood was sucked dry, he was released by the branches and fell to the ground.

This sound woke everyone up, and they felt a chill in their hearts and uncontrollable chills on their backs.

The branch locked onto another person and attacked him quickly. This time, Cheng Jiang reacted much faster than before. He threw out a golden bead and successfully stopped the willow tree from attacking his teammates.

"Back off." Cheng Jiang shouted, leading everyone back several dozen steps, then continued shooting with his gun. "It's that willow tree. Hit its trunk."

"Bang bang bang..." A series of gunshots resounded through the sky and earth, and bullets hit the tree trunks.

This time the willow tree was completely enraged, and countless roots emerged from the soil. Before they could react, several people were entangled or directly pierced through the body, and then, as before, it madly sucked the blood from their bodies.

This was not the end. Suddenly, many tree roots emerged from all directions, surrounding Cheng Jiang and his group. The tree roots were very smart and knew that guns in humans' hands were very dangerous, so they controlled the branches to break or knock down their guns. A branch would suddenly emerge from the ground, wrap around a human's ankle, and drag him away directly.

Because the branches kept moving, it was difficult for the bullets to hit the branches. At Cheng Jiang's command, a group of people put away their guns and picked up daggers to chop at them.

Cheng Jiang thought that with his second-level supernatural power, he could kill the monster in front of him, so he took the dagger calmly, wrapped the dagger with his supernatural power, and chopped it down at the tree roots in front of him.

Damn, the tree roots can absorb superpowers. The superpowers wrapped around the dagger were absorbed, and the dagger chopped the tree roots limply without causing any damage to them.

"Don't use your superpowers, this monster can absorb them." Cheng Jiang shouted, and chopped hard at the tree roots with a dagger.

Lin Mier hid in the crowd, looking at the tree roots around her with a pale face. Then she looked at Mu Cheng who was still leisurely outside and shouted, "Mu Cheng, are you so cruel? You are going to watch so many of us die here."

Mu Cheng held the lollipop and said indifferently, "I have no obligation to save you. If you think it's not good for us to watch you die, then at worst we can just close our eyes."

After saying that, Mu Cheng said to his teammates in a serious tone, "Close your eyes, soldiers all have dignity, we must learn to respect them."

"You..." Lin Mi'er's face flushed with anger, but she soon came up with an idea and shouted again, "Mu Cheng, you watched someone die without helping. What's the difference between you and taking someone's life? You came from the Su family, but you actually did such a cruel thing."

Mu Cheng was not angry and continued to lick the lollipop leisurely. "You are so righteous, why don't you stand up and let the mutant tree drag you away. As long as you die, I can save the others. After all, they have no grudge against me, and I don't want to see them die."

"Enough." Cheng Jiang shouted, his eyes fixed on Mu Cheng. Although he was reluctant, at this moment, in order to survive and keep his position as captain, he had to beg Mu Cheng, "Mu Cheng, what do you want me to do in order to save us?"
