The quieter the surroundings, the more nervous everyone became.
Nobody knows how plants attack humans.
Their breathing became more cautious, and the only sound they could hear was their footsteps moving forward.
Suddenly, a green shadow flashed by, coiling around the team members in front of them like a snake!
A scream suddenly rang out, "Ah!!!"
The team member's ankle was entangled by green vines, and then with a whoosh, the team member's body disappeared into the lush green jungle.
Everyone gasped in shock. The speed was simply too fast. Before they could react, the team member had been dragged away. Moreover, the bushes seemed to be sentient; as soon as the person was pulled away, they automatically closed up and became even more lush.
The guard captain's expression gradually turned serious. Chen Meng said in a cold voice, "Be on high alert! Take action immediately if there is any movement."
Her fire-based abilities are well-suited for navigating forests, but they also have a major drawback: the flames can easily become uncontrollable in the forest, potentially turning into a way for mutated pine trees to kill them.
As long as the pine tree consciously controls the burning trees, everyone will be surrounded by the burning trees.
Chen Meng could burn all those trees to charcoal, but that wouldn't be very useful; the resulting smoke would only deprive them of their living environment.
The guards brought oxygen tanks, but they wouldn't use them unless absolutely necessary.
Just then, the plants launched their next attack!
The plants around everyone seemed to come alive, and the leaves of the trees were like sharp blades, stabbing fiercely at everyone's bodies!
It happened in an instant. Qiao He felt the slight movement of the thin mist around her, and then the piercing leaves froze in mid-air, as if they had encountered some transparent barrier and could no longer move forward even an inch!
Just then, countless vines that had just swept away the guards emerged from the bushes.
It moves at an incredible speed; ordinary people can't even see what it is, and they'll be captured before they can react.
But Qiao He and the others would not encounter that situation. Qiao Li's ice-type ability instantly condensed countless ice blades, which quickly cut the vines as they approached.
The vines were still moving when they were cut, looking like a headless snake, which was quite horrifying.
The next second, all the vines withered and died.
As the plants realized that the humans who had come this time were not easy to deal with, the plants around Qiao He grew rapidly and then turned into a dense jungle that could almost block out the sky!
The trees grew within five seconds, and then the branches and leaves of the trees and various weeds began to intertwine, the sunlight gradually disappeared, and the plants were trying to trap them here to die.
At that moment, Chen Meng shouted, "Put on your protective masks!"
The next moment, all the guards did the same and put on their masks.
They were all carrying oxygen tanks.
At first, Qiao He didn't understand why they needed an oxygen tank, since they weren't going underwater.
But when she saw the huge fireball reflected in her eyes, Qiao He realized that Chen Meng's special ability was fire.
It was a raging fire that filled the sky and the flames were so bright they almost blinded everyone. The giant waves also made everyone lower their heads to avoid the scorching flames.
Qiao He's face was burning hot. She hadn't expected Chen Meng to have some skills, but she just judged people by their appearance.
But it doesn't matter. As long as we can get in and save Shen Huai, we're all in the same boat.
In an instant, those trees that blocked out the sky were burned to charcoal. Then they crashed down.
Chen Meng shouted, "Move forward quickly! Reach the vicinity of the pine tree as soon as possible to carry out the rescue!"
"Yes!" the guards replied in unison.
Qiao He and his group didn't have such a strong sense of collectivism; they followed behind the guards and moved forward quickly.
Next, Chen Meng showed no restraint in using her supernatural abilities, setting fire to any trees she saw.
Once a tree gets close, the flames will rush towards it without mercy.
The guards were no pushovers either. Although they were initially afraid of the moving plants, they were now able to riddle the trees with bullets whenever they saw them move.
Qiao He was protected by Bo Shiwu and the kittens, and was in the very center.
Thin mist can clear away any plants that try to attack them almost instantly.
Qiao He didn't need to take any action. She knew that her special ability was unique, unlike the extremely violent output type of Bo Shiwu, Qiao Li, and Qiao Fei.
It's neither the hallucination-type ability like Jobs', nor the healing-type ability like Qiao Hua's.
The reason for bringing Qiao Hua along was that if we could find Shen Huai and he was seriously injured, Qiao Hua could immediately provide treatment.
As for the guards, if Qiao Hua still has the ability, she can save them. If she doesn't have enough superpowers, she will definitely prioritize saving Shen Huai and their own people.
Before long, they finally arrived at the mutated pine tree.
Actually, once you get near the pine trees, the surrounding plants become quiet.
They don't attack them proactively, and the closer you get to the pine trees, the fewer plants there are, leaving only a vast expanse of land with dense brownish-yellow pine needles on the ground.
These are pine needles that have fallen from the pine tree and are already withered.
Chen Meng said in a low voice, "There are only bloodstains here, no bodies of the team members."
"Search first, pay attention to the condition of the pine trees!"
The team members then split into several small groups and began searching the area.
