She did not relax her focus. Since the big boss had already taken action against her, he would not give up halfway.
Since she couldn't find the other person, she waited for the other person to come to her.
After walking for half an hour, a cold wind blew towards us, blowing up the dust in the forest.
Just when Tu Ran thought it was just an ordinary wind, the "wind" that swept up the dust changed its shape, forming a large net that enveloped her and the flashlight.
Then Tu Ran felt as if she was being filtered through a sieve all over her body, and her body was about to be dispersed into cells and blown away by the wind.
The flashlight suddenly went out.
Tu Ran's feeling of losing control of her body quickly dissipated.
The world fell into darkness again.
Tu Ran let out a long sigh and suppressed the throbbing of her heart.
Tu Ran couldn't be sure whether the wind that just blew over was the big boss's entity or an attack from the big boss.
But at least the big boss took the initiative, and it stayed with her.
Tu Ran turned the time back to one minute ago, and the flashlight that was damaged for unknown reasons was restored to its original state, and the light once again filled the entire lush forest.
Tu Ran perked up, paying special attention to the strong wind blowing everywhere.
When the next almost transparent wind carrying dust swirled and attacked from behind, Tu Ran turned around quickly.
But it's too late.
The huge net covered her again and passed through her body. The feeling of losing control and powerlessness came over her again, and the flashlight went out.
Tu Ran did not stand there helplessly waiting for the heart palpitations to pass like she did last time. Instead, she immediately activated the "Wheel of Time" to restore the flashlight and turned to look at the place where "Wind" left.
She saw a transparent human figure.
Because there was some dust in its body, Tu Ran could tell that it was in the shape of a human.
The invisible man was startled by the sudden light, and his body quickly twisted and transformed into a tornado, spinning and quickly disappearing.
How could Tu Ran let it leave? She activated her instant movement and followed closely behind it.
In the dense forest, two figures moved one in front and one behind, so fast that only their afterimages were left.
Tu Ran had estimated that her speed after using "Teleport" would be 150 meters per second, but at this speed, she still could not catch up with "Tornado", which showed that the opponent's speed was far beyond hers.
In just a few blinks of an eye, the other person disappeared from sight.
Tu Ran stopped.
She had to wait, waiting for the other party to attack her.
The lush forest was extremely quiet; the wind had stopped blowing and time seemed to stand still.
Tu Ran stood in the middle of the lush forest, holding a flashlight.
A purple mushroom grew silently in her palm.
The wind rises and the chanting gets closer.
It was the alien's mockery of her.
It sang and spun around Tu Ran at high speed, creating layer upon layer of wind that wrapped Tu Ran in the center. It sometimes moved closer and sometimes moved away, revealing that hallucinogenic mushrooms were useless to it.
Tu Ran crushed the hallucinogenic mushrooms.
The opponent possesses mid- to high-level auxiliary abilities, so hallucinogenic mushrooms have no effect.
The wind carried the mushroom debris far away.
The chanting hidden in the darkness suddenly stopped.
The "wind" attacked her again. Tu Ran looked at the "wind" rushing towards her coldly, with a slight smile on her lips.
"Annihilation!"
"ah----"
A sharp scream came from the translucent substance in front.
It was like roasting a living creature over fire, desperate and miserable, yet sharp enough to pierce Tu Ran's eardrum.
Tu Ran frowned deeply, staring at the "wind" that was still rushing towards her.
Its speed became slower and slower, and its invisible body began to become visible, its color changing from transparent gray to solid gray, and then to ink black, like a shadow that changed its shape at will.
As it struggled to move forward, its body gradually melted away, leaving behind black floating gas wherever it passed.
Until it tried its best to walk in front of Tu Ran, leaving only a head with half a neck that seemed to be there and not there. His facial features were human-like and particularly distorted because of anger.
It stared at Tu Ran viciously and greedily, its nose twitching as it breathed in the scent of Tu Ran. It wanted to take another step closer, another step closer. It longed for the energy of Tu Ran's body.
But its body no longer existed, and it couldn't touch Tu Ran at all.
It was desperate, it was angry, it was shouting miserably and unwillingly.
Finally, it turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared. A silver inner elixir fell from mid-air and rolled at Tu Ran's feet.
Tu Ran lowered his head stiffly, took a look at the inner elixir, and could no longer hold on. He knelt on the ground, opened the mask, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
There was a tearing pain in the lungs, as if they were being gripped and squeezed hard.
This is a side effect of [Annihilation].
[Annihilation] is the superpower she got from Zeng Jing. It is also the superpower that can destroy flying bullets, the sprouts in Pang Xinting's stomach, and hallucinogenic mushrooms from a distance.
[Annihilation] is an advanced superpower that can destroy anything "high-speed". Flying bullets are high-speed, and the growth of sprouts and hallucinogenic mushrooms is the high-speed division of cells, so Zeng Jing can control the annihilation of these three things.
The unidentified object just now was flying at a speed comparable to that of a bullet, which was also considered high speed, so she could tear it apart alive.
After taking in this special power, Tu Ran realized that she had saved her life. Her "teleportation" was also very fast.
If Zeng Jing had used [Annihilation] against her at that time, she wouldn't even know how she died.
Fortunately, Zeng Jing was useless. Tu Ran guessed that her speed had not yet reached the minimum standard for [Annihilation] to take effect, or it was possible that Zeng Jing at that time could not afford the cost of annihilating her.
In any case, she escaped.
The destructive power of [Annihilation] also lays the foundation for its strict usage restrictions. Its energy consumption far exceeds that of [Wheel of Time], and each use will cause certain damage to the body.
Tu Ran crawled on the ground for more than ten minutes before she had the strength to open the "Shadow Storage", took out a bottle of nutrient solution and a recovery agent, injected the recovery agent into her body, drank the nutrient solution, and picked up the inner elixir on the ground with trembling fingers.
Tu Ran found a nearby tree, climbed up a branch, found a comfortable position and lay motionless. She had to recover her strength quickly, as she had no fighting power at all.
The flashlight has been turned off and the world has returned to darkness.
Two hours later, daybreak arrived.
Tu Ran didn't wake up.
It's getting dark.
Tu Ran hasn't woken up yet.
Tu Ran opened her eyes when the sky brightened again.
Her stomach was about to burst with hunger. She didn't have time to observe the surrounding scenery. Tu Ran took out nutrient solution from the space and drank four bottles to relieve her hunger.
She rubbed her legs which were numb from sleeping for too long, and threw the empty bottle of nutrient solution back into the space before she noticed the scene in front of her.
The white frost that originally covered the thick tree trunks has all melted, the ice crystals on the needles are dripping down, the air has become humid, and the perceived temperature has risen significantly.
