Chapter 102 Bow and Arrow
Lu Nange took out the bow and arrow given to her by Uncle Qiangzi, wrapped it in strips of cloth, moistened it with gasoline, and lit it.
The strips of cloth soaked in gasoline crackled in the flames.
The arrow left the bowstring and shot towards the crevice where the tree was wriggling.
"boom--!"
Flames erupted, instantly engulfing the tree trunk, and the flames spread wildly along the vines.
The entire giant tree began to convulse, its branches whipping wildly around it, indiscriminately crushing everything in their path.
"Gangzi, go back!"
The macaw made a sharp turn, its wings slicing through the thick smoke.
Lu Nange turned her head amidst the turbulence, and the next second, a fierce wind arose, whipping up a fire dragon that shot straight into the sky, and the ground undulated like waves as the tree roots contracted violently.
Countless roots burst forth from the ground, and the branches on the roof recoiled as if electrocuted.
The "tentacles" indiscriminately strangled everything in their path—telephone poles, billboards, houses, vehicles, and even mutated creatures underground that couldn't escape in time, all of which were instantly crushed.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Lu Nange's hands flew, and the wind blades severed all the attacking branches.
The giant tree trunk slammed violently against the ground in excruciating pain. She squinted to estimate the distance, took out a bomb, and sent it into the burning tree trunk with a wind blade.
"boom--!!!"
The impact of the explosion caused the tree trunk to twitch, and the entire city of Chiayi trembled.
Beneath the towering mushroom cloud, Lu Nange pushed forward with both hands, manipulating the wind curtain to form a semi-transparent barrier.
The raging flames were firmly contained in the central area.
She pressed the walkie-talkie, her voice still clear amidst the aftershocks of the explosion: "Be careful, I'll be back later!"
A muffled response came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
Putting away the walkie-talkie, Lu Nange said to the macaw, "Gangzi, fly around the tree once!"
The macaw let out a sharp cry, its wings immediately adjusted to the optimal angle, and it began to circle the tree trunk at high speed.
Lu Nange unleashed a barrage of wind blades from both hands, severing the thick root systems that were frantically rushing back from all directions.
The severed tree roots spurted out a thick, foul-smelling sap.
In the distance, Chi Yanzhou watched Lu Nange's actions and said, "We must cut off the roots of those reinforcements! Otherwise, Nannan might be surrounded."
"Brother Yan, just tell me how we can help Nan Nan!"
Chi Yanzhou quickly said, "Ci-ge, Chi Yi, Luo Xingyou, and I will be in charge of the branches and vines in mid-air."
Ah Zhuo, Ah Qi, Ah Ye, Gu Wan, Ji Xian, you're in charge of the tree roots on the ground!
Wen Qing stood in the center of the crowd, gripping the Tang sword tightly in his hand.
Chi Yanzhou: "Azhuo, Luo Xingyou, withdraw your shield."
The ten figures instantly split into two teams.
More and more survivors were drawn by the sound of the explosion.
Someone cleverly shouted, "They're killing the Tree King to stop all the vines in the city from defending themselves! Let's help!"
The crowd split instantly—some roared and joined the fight, while others turned and left.
Lu Nange noticed that the vines' defensive retreat in a large area had suddenly stopped—it must be that Aye and the others were intercepting them from the outside.
She swung her hands in a crisscross motion, sending dozens of wind blades whistling as they tore through the intertwined branches above her head.
"Gangzi!"
"Gagaga!!!"
[My beauty, watch out!]
The macaw seized the opportunity and soared into the sky.
Lu Nange leaned down and pressed herself against the bird's back, wrapping her arms around Gangzi's neck.
The tree hole below, which had been cut open, was almost instantly sealed back shut by the frantically defending vines, and countless brownish-green "tentacles" attacked them like arrows.
From the ground, a giant cocoon made of countless intertwined vines appeared in the sky, rapidly shrinking.
"Gangzi, freeze..."
The macaw suddenly spread its wings to their limit, flinging out countless ice crystals from its wingtips.
The attacking vines froze the moment they touched the ice crystals, forming an ice sculpture jungle in mid-air.
Lu Nange: "Beautiful. If it weren't for Gangzi, I would have become a cocoon today."
Gangzi let out two smug "caw caws"!
[As expected of the cub I chose, you have excellent taste!]
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Nange released her spiritual power, penetrating through layers of obstacles—"Found it!"
After locating the exact position of the crystal core, three grenades slid from her fingers and were placed into the location of the crystal core.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The macaw's feathers bristled in fright: "My beauty, you scared me to death! You scared me to death!"
The impact of the explosion blasted a huge hole, two meters in diameter, into the tree trunk that was encasing the crystal core.
Lu Nange gently patted the macaw, pointed to a spot, and said, "Gangzi, dive!"
The area below is now a sea of fire.
Without He Zhuo and Gu Qi, the surroundings were filled with ice sculptures and plants.
Lu Nange directly and forcefully hurled the pile of collapsed houses and sand that had been stockpiled in Shashi from her spatial storage.
Amidst the deafening crash, those fighting on the perimeter saw only a column of smoke shooting into the sky.
Taking advantage of the brief chaos, the macaw flew straight into the tree hole.
