The pine tree realized it had been deceived, and at the same time, it quickly discovered the humans' hiding place.
underground.
Isn't this just courting death?
The roots of pine trees are densely intertwined in the earth, forming invisible shackles.
Once inside the soil, Qiao He found himself in the most dangerous situation.
In an instant, countless roots surrounded Qiao He and the others. Qiao Fei had originally used soil to protect everyone, but those countless roots were like giant white snakes, frantically attacking Qiao Fei's protective shield.
puff--
Qiao Fei couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of bright red blood.
He was about to reach his limit!
Qiao He's eyes trembled. "Afei! Remove the protective shield."
But Qiao Fei refused. While protecting everyone with the protective shield, he quickly moved his position in the soil.
finally--
Qiao Fei had no choice but to bring everyone to the ground.
If they remained underground, they would certainly have suffered even more terrifying attacks.
Although they can no longer withstand the current attacks, but—
If they are trapped underground by the white roots, things will become even more terrifying.
Besides being pierced or tightly entangled by roots, they will also quickly lose oxygen, thus fainting from lack of oxygen.
At that time, everyone will become nourishment for the pine tree.
Qiao He finally understood why Shen Huai had brought so many people. His superpowers were also very strong, but his entire army was wiped out. He himself was even trapped to death by a pine tree, and only one seriously injured team member escaped.
The enemy is simply too powerful.
Relying solely on Chen Huai, they couldn't even escape quickly.
After coming up, Qiao Fei's vision went black, and she fainted.
Qiao He's heart tightened, and at that moment Qiao Hua immediately went to check on Qiao Fei's injuries.
But how could the pine trees give them a chance to breathe? So the ground began to shake, and the pine needles began to stir.
This time, the pine tree didn't release countless pine needles to try and kill them, but instead released them unexpectedly to launch a sneak attack.
The ground is cracking, and dust is flying everywhere!
The roots of the pine tree sprouted from the ground, countless white roots, densely packed, rushing towards them like a giant python charging towards them.
Bo Shiwu's eyes suddenly turned cold. He protected everyone and kept retreating, and then used his mental power to crush the approaching roots!
Qiao Li also summoned ice blades and quickly cut off those strange roots!
Before long, the pine tree's roots began to retract under their repeated attacks.
Just when Qiao He felt that something was wrong, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shattered into pieces!
It's like an earthquake—
No, this is more terrifying than an earthquake!
The soil beneath them was siphoned off, and they fell straight into the dark abyss.
At that very moment, Qiao He was suddenly pulled into Bo Shiwu's arms around the waist.
Before she could even worry about the babies, she suddenly lost her balance and fell down with Bo Shiwu.
Immediately after they landed, the soil quickly closed up.
And those roots and stems densely clustered around Qiao He and Bo Shiwu.
Bo Shiwu's eyes were extremely cold, and any roots that tried to get close were all severed by his supernatural power.
Qiao He's paper doll didn't follow him; instead, it stayed with Qiao Hua and the others.
Because in the instant she fell, she had already decided that the paper doll would prioritize protecting the kittens.
Now everyone is scattered and buried underground.
Qiao He activated her special ability and then summoned another being that also possessed fire-based abilities—
Chen Meng.
The paper doll Chen Meng appeared beside Qiao He. Her fire-type ability was not very useful in the soil, but plants were afraid of fire, so if she could touch the roots of the pine tree, the flames could instantly burn up to it, like a maggot clinging to a bone, constantly climbing upwards.
If Qiao He's superpower is strong enough, she can use the flames of the paper doll Chen Meng to severely burn the pine tree.
But now is not the time.
There are too many roots and stems, most of which are the terminal roots and stems of pine trees, not the main body.
Moreover, it's not just the pine tree's own roots and stems; it has even established a network of plant roots and stems underground, which, in addition to its own roots and stems, are also trying to attack them.
Fortunately, there were gaps around them, so they wouldn't be crushed into meat patties when the land closed in.
Bo Shiwu said in a deep voice, "There isn't enough oxygen here. We need to find a way out quickly."
Qiao He: "Yeah, but don't worry, we still have oxygen tanks."
They are all inside Qiao He's Blood Jade Space.
Qiao Yin also carried a lot of oxygen cylinders, which would be very useful underground and at sea.
Qiao He had stockpiled a lot of these oxygen cylinders beforehand.
I never expected to need it at this time.
It was pitch black all around, without a single ray of light.
Bo Shiwu gripped Qiao He's wrist tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
Qiao He's heart skipped a beat; she was once again protected by Bo Shiwu, and was well protected.
Qiao He spared her attention to check on the situation with the paper dolls and discovered that the little ones and the paper dolls were in the same space, and Chen Meng was also there.
However, Chen Meng's condition was not good. She was injured in the abdomen. She was protecting Qiao Hua when the plant root pierced through her instantly.
Chen Meng's face turned pale as she used her fire-based abilities to force back many of the roots.
But now she has almost no strength left to use her powers.
She was almost exhausted... Was she going to die at the hands of this pine tree, just like her teammates?
Chen Meng was unwilling to give up. She gritted her teeth and held onto the gun even in this situation.
In her eyes, the kittens were all children, so what was it to be protected by a group of children?
It's so embarrassing to tell anyone!
Chen Meng gritted her teeth and looked around warily.
And those roots seemed to know that none of them could escape from here, so they did not intend to attack.
That's how they trapped them underground.
As oxygen levels decrease, no human will survive.
This is the experience humans gained from hunting pine trees.
There's no need to waste any more energy, because in its understanding, even powerful human beings with superpowers can't escape.
At the same time, Qiao He also discovered that the plant roots and stems were no longer attacking them.
They were trapped inside this dark space by soil and dense roots all around them, like a cocoon made of plant roots.
Qiao He frowned. She suddenly remembered what the guard had said. Before he lost consciousness, the guard said that Shen Huai was trapped in the trunk of a pine tree, and it was very likely that he was pulled into the ground by the roots and trapped in this small root cocoon.
Bo Shiwu said in a deep voice, "We need to find a way to get out."
Qiao He: "Wait a minute, there's no rush."
She knew the children were alright for now. Since the pine tree's attack was like this, it meant that Shen Huai was also trapped underground, just like them.
If we're lucky, it might not be far off!
