Chapter 340 Encountering Vines



"How is it?" Xi Chunzhi saw them appear and walked out from the shadow behind the tree.

There was almost no light in the tunnel. Suddenly exposed to the bright light, Tu Ran raised her arms to lightly block her eyes and adjust to the light. She turned slightly and squinted in the direction of the manor.

Due to the obstruction of the trees, only the highest roof of the manor could be seen, with a round metal plaque hanging on it. In the center, the word "Thank you" was written in a special font. Under the direct sunlight, it was shining with golden light and was difficult to look directly at.

This is the symbol of the Xie family, branded on all people and things related to the Xie family.

The same imprint was on the woman who disappeared like the wind.

Tu Ran retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes slightly, and glanced at the ground below her feet, "It's done."

"That's good. Let's leave here quickly." As he said that, Xi Chunzhi went forward and held Tu Ran's hand.

The words "vines, run" appeared on her recorder just now. The recorder was specially configured for herself because her special ability "seven seconds" often allows her to see what will happen in the future in an instant, but she will forget it within 2 to 7 seconds. She will carry a recorder with her to record what she saw at that moment.

She rarely saw the word "run" in the recorder, which was enough to show that the situation was not good.

She pulled Tu Ran with one hand and grabbed Huo's sleeve with the other, and ran away from the manor, but Tu Ran grabbed her arm and pulled her back hard, and she and Huo deviated from their original trajectory at the same time.

The moment they left.

A green plant suddenly jumped out from the ground. Its body was thick, sharp and smooth. The place where it emerged was exactly where Xi Chunzhi had originally stepped on.

If Tu Ran had moved a little slower, Xi Chunzhi would have been pierced by the vine without a doubt.

Xi Chunzhi and Huo looked up at the same time, looking at the vine that changed direction in mid-air and stabbed towards them.

Huo had never seen such a plant that could move on its own, and it was so huge in size that it had a great impact on her eyes.

Xi Chunzhi was the first to let go of Tu Ran and Huo who were holding his left and right hands. The three of them dispersed the moment the vines stabbed over. The vines' target was not focused. It hovered in the air for a while, chose Tu Ran, and accelerated towards her.

Tu Ran stared at the vine, took out a laser gun out of thin air, aimed the muzzle at its root, and was about to press the button with his index finger.

A ball of fire hit the vine.

It spread to the entire vine in an instant, and before the vine could even struggle, it turned into a ball of black ash.

Tu Ran looked at Xi Chunzhi opposite her.

She was withdrawing her right hand, and in her palm there was a ball of fire ready to ignite.

"Disgusting soft-bodied creature!" Xi Chunzhi looked at the pile of ashes on the ground with disgust, closed her palms, and the flames went out in her palms. She patted the ashes on her hands.

"Let's go."

The suffocating feeling in her heart did not disappear with the death of the vine, but became even stronger. She didn't believe that a vine could allow her to record the two words "run". She was afraid that there would be greater dangers waiting for them later.

"We can't leave." Huo stared at the ground. She saw that beneath the surface, countless vines were scrambling to rise.

The ground was shaking, and a rustling sound came from deep underground. At first, only Tu Ran could hear it, but after saving Xi Chunzhi, Xi Chunzhi and Huo could also hear it.

Tu Ran activated the "Teleportation" skill, and her body image shuttled between Huo and Xi Chunzhi. She grabbed their arms and ran away with them.

In the Federation, air and soil pollution, water acidification, overcrowding, lack of land, trees and other green plants are rare. Dense forests like this one cost a lot of money to build, and can only be seen in the manors of chaebol families like the Xie family. The Xie family manor is built on a lush mountain.

Surrounding the foot of the mountain is the world of ordinary people.

Tu Ran ran madly down the mountain with the two of them. Carrying the weight of two people, her speed was not fast enough, but it was still far beyond that of ordinary means of transportation.

Behind them, thick vines followed closely, and new vines kept emerging from the ground and attacking them. Tu Ran led the two of them to dodge left and right flexibly.

But there were too many vines, and the places where they would appear were unpredictable. The moment Tu Ran stepped on a slightly raised ground, a vine appeared out of nowhere, and Tu Ran and the other two were thrown directly into the air.

The other vines took the opportunity to move forward, with the tips of the vines turning into thorns, stabbing towards the three people.

Tu Ransong let go of Huo and Xi Chunzhi, stepped on a vine that was above her and stabbing towards her abdomen, and used the force to land on the ground first.

While Xi Chunzhi and Huo had not yet landed on the ground, Tu Ran waved her hand, and an invisible blade of light was thrown out, with the height of her arm as the cutting plane, and everything at this height was cut.

Space cutting!

All the vines that rushed out of the ground were cut off at the waist. The vines that were waving arrogantly in the air lost their support and fell softly to the ground.

Green juice keeps flowing out from the neat cut at the root.

Huo and Xi Chunzhi landed on the ground, dodging the broken vines that kept falling from the air, and approached Tu Ran.

These vines have strong regeneration capabilities. Tu Ran simply cut them in the middle and their root systems were not damaged.

As Xi Chunzhi and the fire got closer, new buds began to sprout from the broken vines. They used the green juice as nutrients and grew like crazy. In the blink of an eye, they grew into new and sturdy vines. There were even cases where two or three vines grew from one cut.

Not only did the number of vines not decrease, but it increased instead, with new vines constantly emerging from the ground.

Looking around, the entire forest was almost covered with vines, and the distribution density was denser than the original trees. In some places, the vines even pushed out the original trees.

A huge net woven by vines that blocked out the sky and the sun wrapped the three people inside.

"There's no way we can kill them all!" Xi Chunzhi threw several fireballs in succession, burning the vines close to them, sparks and ashes flying all over the sky.

Tu Ran also used a laser gun to harvest batch after batch of vines. The laser gun, which could only be used three or five times, was used by her to produce an effect of endless energy. Every two times she fired the laser, she would use the "Wheel of Time" to restore the energy to full.

Huo was surrounded by Tu Ran and Xi Chunzhi in the center. Her two superpowers were auxiliary and were useless against the vines.

"Huo, can you see where their roots are with your perspective?" Tu Ran once again restored his energy to full and shouted.

Huo stared at the ground, her eyes passing through the soil and sand to a deeper level, where a knot of tumbling vines appeared before her eyes.

"There!"

Tu Ran immediately looked in that direction. Compared to where they were now, the vines there were thicker and denser, almost one next to the other.

"Can we dig tunnels to their roots?"

Huo's eyes hurt as she scanned the roots. She endured the pain and looked at Tu Ran. "Okay, but our movements underground are limited. If the vines attack us underground, it will be difficult for us to escape."
