Chapter 1140: Completely Broken! (Two Chapters)
One moment it's torrential rain and thunder, the next it's a raging storm, and then it's blazing sun again.
The clothes everyone was wearing were just ordinary training uniforms. The unpredictable weather was fine at first, but if it continued like this for three days, it might be a bit unbearable.
After all, the weather changes more than ten times a day, with harsh weather from spring, summer, autumn and winter all coming and going. People get used to it!
But that will happen three days from now.
Right now, people on the ground are being blown off their feet by the strong winds, while those underground are getting lost.
"I feel like I've just been here. Look at my tree root, that one that's shaped like a heart, didn't I just come here?"
"I have the mountain map memorized. According to the time, we should have reached the first air vent by now. Why are we still wandering around down there? Have we gone too far?"
“I didn’t go too far, but I feel uncomfortable. Xiao Guai must have intervened from above.” Zhong Chenyu frowned.
She's someone with the luck of a koi fish; when bad things happen, she always feels uncomfortable and upset.
When I first entered the soil, I felt nothing at all, but after walking around here, I felt uncomfortable all over.
Upon hearing this, Bai Wuwen immediately asked Zhu Xing'er to predict the outcome.
"Xing'er, make a prediction and see what happens!"
She had already tested it when something seemed wrong.
"It's ominous, we can't detect anything after that! It's probably because Xiao Guai got involved. We need to get up there quickly! It's okay on the surface, but it's pitch black underground, the danger level is too high!"
"It's too late, I can't get out! It was dirt a moment ago, but now it's turned into stone. Stay close, don't get separated!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately huddled together.
"You can't get out from up there. Find one next to you. You didn't have claustrophobia before, but if you stay here for too long, you might develop it!"
"Okay, I'll move right away!"
"Ouch! What's going on? Why are there stones everywhere?"
"Does anyone have something that can light up? I feel something tickling my leg!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Wuwen immediately drew a talisman to illuminate this space.
"There's nothing there, just mud, rocks, and tree roots everywhere. But, in such a deep place, do you think it might be a snake?"
"So it's Gu Ran?"
"No! It's not Gu Ran! It has a very rough texture! It feels like stone, could it be that the stone has come to life?"
"A stone that has become a spirit? Does Gu Yin know that?"
"......"
A moment of silence fell over everyone.
"It seems they only patrol above ground, not underground. And even if they didn't encounter them during their patrols, it's not impossible that we'd run into them now, influenced by Xiao Guai. Otherwise, why would there be so many rocks?"
In the monitoring center, Chu Yan looked at Gu Yin: "Can stones really become sentient?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "They're just making wild guesses. It's Xiao Gua and the tree spirit, let's call them tree spirits for now, that's what's hindering these people from moving forward."
After Gu Yin finished speaking, she sighed: "It feels like the world has turned upside down, there are all sorts of things here."
"Well, isn't this all your doing? Originally, they were just a reclusive family, but now they all have superpowers. It's quite difficult for us old folks to manage them. All the data has been rendered useless. Luckily, everyone is organized and disciplined, otherwise, things might have gotten out of hand. But now it's on the right track. You scientists are terrifying! No wonder those post-apocalyptic movies and novels start by grabbing researchers. One of you could be worth a thousand troops!"
Gu Yin coughed lightly: "You flatter me, I'm not that amazing!"
"Ouch! What is that?!"
A gasp drew everyone's attention to the big screen.
In the dim light, Bai Wuwen was swept away by a huge tree root!
Among them, he has the greatest combat strength. The others do not have superpowers, but most of what they know is for auxiliary purposes.
"Those with special abilities, stand on the outer perimeter! The rest of you stay inside! Let's head towards Senior Brother Wuwen's direction!"
I don’t know if it’s because of Xiao Guai, but Bai Wuwen discovered that the spiritual power underground was no longer working!
On the way he was being dragged away, he was bumped here and there! Every part of his body ached!
With trembling hands, he took the talisman paper out of his bag, and after many attempts, he finally managed to draw it!
"Lightning Talisman! Strike with lightning!"
In the dim underground, a series of lightning bolts, accompanied by flashes of fire, cleaved the tree roots in two!
Bai Wuwen had just caught his breath when his waist tightened, and before he could even stand up straight, he was dragged away again!
That's not all! They dragged him away with the branch while whipping him!
"They really don't treat me like a human being!!"
Hitting someone is bad enough, but slapping them in the face is even worse!
Bai Wuwen is angry!
After attaching a talisman to stabilize himself, he was stingy and threw various talismans around!
"Lightning talisman! Fire talisman! Slaying talisman! ...Teleportation talisman!! Teleportation talisman? Teleportation talisman! Teleportation talisman???"
When Zhong Chenyu and his group arrived, they saw Bai Wuwen, his face bruised and swollen with blood, numbly tossing away talismans one by one.
When the talisman is thrown, it appears three meters away; when the talisman is thrown again, it returns to its original position!
"What's wrong with you? Who hit you? And what's with all this going in and out?"
"Gu Yin really doesn't treat me like a human being! She snatched my tree root! She whipped me with it too! That's not all! My talismans aren't working! Sometimes they work! Sometimes they malfunction! I've used over a dozen teleportation talismans! And they're still moving back and forth within this three-meter range!! I'm going crazy!!"
Injuries aren't a big deal! But being trapped here, unable to get in or out, is what drives people crazy!
“Swish, swish, swish!!”
"The tree root is coming again!"
Five superhumans immediately stepped in front of them!
It's difficult to use superpowers underground, and without anyone's help, they were beaten until they had no temper left!
But those branches really couldn't do anything to them; they could only fight a protracted battle.
This area is near Blackwater Lake, and it has a lot of spiritual energy.
These superpowered individuals are not afraid of spiritual energy depletion at all.
But once a branch breaks, it won't grow back so quickly.
If this drags on, these people will still be able to get out.
“Level three, these are all level three ability users, this tree branch shouldn’t be able to hold them for long.”
Gu Yin glanced at the other people's information and nodded knowingly.
"Chi Xing, call the two trees over and tell them to stay underground. If you take a shortcut, you won't be able to get out without being trapped for several hours."
After saying that, he stopped looking at them and turned his gaze to Lan Yan.
After resting for a while in the cave, Lan Yan led You Niannian and slowly followed behind the others.
Aside from the bad weather, there weren't any major difficulties.
"So you guys are here! No wonder I couldn't find anyone up ahead!!"
Amidst the howling wind, a clear and crisp female voice rang out above their heads!
"02? What are you doing here! Weren't you with Bai Wuwen and the others?"
"Can't keep up, I'm with 07 and the others! We're looking for you guys everywhere! I thought you were ahead, but it turns out you're still behind!"
02 flew down from the tree.
This person's lightness skill was not only unrestricted in the strong wind, but he was also like a fish in water!
Lan Yan took a step back, watching her warily.
"What do you mean? You want to become our adversary? Arrest us?"
02 laughed loudly: "No, they're all after you. We just want to reap the benefits!"
Lan Yan remained silent and ignored her.
"Let's go in."
There were too many people. Even though these people were of lower rank than them, he still couldn't get the goods in this kind of battle of attrition!
We can only outsmart them!
As soon as the blue flame appeared, everyone noticed it and quickly surrounded it!
Lan Yan immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to listen to him.
They were used to it, and now they couldn't change their habits all at once, so they just watched him quietly.
"I know you all want to defeat me so you can compete, but as far as I know, Gu Yin and Chi Xing will be personally involved in this exercise. Are you sure you can get past them after you knock me out? One of the five examiners is particularly terrifying. Whoever she wants to make suffer will suffer. I have experience fighting her. Are you sure you want to hit me first?"
Everyone looked at each other; those at the base all knew about Xiao Guai's existence.
Hearing him say that, I knew it was Xiaoguai.
Seeing their hesitation, Lan Yan continued to persuade them: "After we beat them first, you can team up to fight me or whatever, I don't care! What do you say? I definitely can't beat them, and I'd like to borrow your help."
After thinking about it, everyone agreed that it made sense.
"Alright, let's unite first, and then we'll talk about the rest!"
Lan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and realized that Bai Wuwen and the others were missing!
"Where are Bai Wuwen and the others?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it!"
"I saw him chasing after you earlier, didn't you see him?"
Lan Yan shook his head upon hearing this: "I didn't see them. They probably passed through the underground escape route. They're not much of an obstacle underground. Let's hurry on our way!"
"Holy crap! How come there are so many tree roots! Not only are they impossible to kill, but they also seem to be multiplying!"
"At this rate, it's not that we'll wear it down; I feel like it'll wear us down instead! Let's think of something!"
Bai Wuwen looked around but still couldn't figure out where this thing came from!
"Find out where the tree roots are! Take out its weak point! You guys keep attacking here, I'll go look for them!"
"I'll go with you!"
Zhong Chenyu quickly spoke up. Even with Xiao Guai's interference, her luck was still better than Bai Wuwen's!
The two groped their way forward, but they couldn't use any talismans, otherwise the tree would notice and stop them!
My teammates were really good; they kept attacking, and every now and then a light would appear! It did manage to illuminate the path a bit.
"Why does it feel like it's not a tree?"
"Ouch, that scared me!" Bai Wuwen clutched his chest and jumped to the side!
Zhu Xing'er: "......"
"Why did you come here? You didn't even say anything!"
That scared him to death!
"I just sensed that you were in danger, so I came to warn you."
"What danger? What did you just say..."
"Swish! Snap!"
"Aaaaaah! Pfft!!!"
Before Bai Wuwen could finish speaking, he was slapped and sent flying! He coughed up blood as he fell to the ground!
Zhong Chenyu was no exception, but she was lucky and didn't get the prize for nothing!
She fell right at the base of the tree!
"It's not just one! It's three! And the source is here!!"
He was immediately slapped away as soon as he finished speaking!
"Damn it, I'm definitely going to activate my superpower when I get back!! This is too awful! All I can do is... pfft! Cough cough cough! I can only get tortured, I refuse to accept this!"
Zhong Chenyu coughed up blood while cursing. She even wanted to curse Gu Yin, but she didn't dare! Waaaaah!!
Zhu Xing'er ran away as soon as the tree root lashed out! She managed to avoid being hit!
Now that we've found the source, let's all focus our attack on it!
Because they had to protect their roots, the branches didn't have as many opportunities to lash out at them.
Bai Wuwen coughed up blood while drawing talismans.
All the drawings are fire talismans and thunder talismans!
When everyone was about to give up, he lit all the talismans at once!
"Is he crazy? There's so little oxygen underground, even if there's spiritual energy, it won't last long." Gu Yin was speechless at his absurd actions.
Chu Yan chuckled: "I have to go crazy, I'm betting you'll have a soft heart!"
Gu Yin thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, Xiao Guai, you go back to Lan Yan's side. Let them fight it out here. If they still can't win, don't blame me."
Upon receiving the message, Xiao Guai immediately changed locations.
"Burn! Burn! Burn it all! Let's see if you still worry about me!"
Bai Wuwen has gone mad!
After finishing drawing the talisman, he casually used his spiritual energy to draw another talisman. Only after casting the talisman did he realize that it had failed.
"Gah!!! Whoosh! Snap!"
A sudden feeling of suffocation came over me!
"How can you be so strong! It was really hard to dig you out!!"
The body cultivator used all his strength to pull Bai Wuwen out of the ground!
"Cough cough cough! Cough!! Cough cough cough!! Little, Little Darling, cough!! Little Darling's ability seems to have disappeared. Have Zhu Xing'er calculate it! Hurry up!"
This opportunity won't come again!
Upon hearing this, the body cultivator immediately put down Bai Wuwen and ran towards the group!
"Little Darling is gone! Quick! Little Rain!! Use your luck! Xing'er, start a test to see where the best place to break through is! Use all your spiritual energy!!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately switched to spiritual energy and began the battle!
When everyone saw that the Mo family member could use tree roots to set up array mechanisms, they knew that Xiao Guai was gone!
With Zhong Chenyu around, everyone's luck has improved!
Every punch was aimed at the center! Not a single move missed!
Bai Wuwen quickly crawled over!
When the tree roots were trapped, his spiritual energy seemed to be free!
One fire talisman after another was unleashed!
If Chi Xing hadn't been watching, those three trees would have been burned to death!
Before Chi Xing could even rescue them, they ran away on their own!
"Trying to run? No way!!"
Bai Wuwen went berserk!
Chi Xing's lips twitched from watching!
Seeing him like this, the tree branch became frightened! It frantically pulled away, but was still being dragged and beaten! It felt it had been deceived by Gu Yin and feared it might die here!
Seeing them like this, Chi Xing was afraid they wouldn't be able to play next time, so he immediately rescued the tree!
Bai Wuwen, who had just been digging through tree roots, suddenly found his arms empty! He fell straight to the ground and passed out!
Looking at the scene, Chu Yan sighed, "After this exercise, you'll probably get beaten up by them!"
