Both sides were in a stalemate. The thorn vine had developed some wisdom. It was waiting for the person in front of it to relax his vigilance and then hunt him.
Misel and his group were also waiting, waiting for the thorn vines to launch an attack, and then looking for a flaw.
Because thorn vines are plants, fire-type mutants serve as the main attacking force in the team, followed by wind and thunder-type mutants, and then earth, ice and water-type mutants serve as backup. Other people with enhanced bodies guard the rear to prevent thorn vines from taking advantage of the situation.
Twenty-one people, four fire-type users, one thunder-type user, one ice-type user, three wind-type users, five earth-type users, one space-type user, one healing-type user, one speed-type user, one strength-type user, one wood-type user, one half-zombie user, and one gold-type user.
As for the extra one at the end, it was Michel, because he was a dual-system mutant and could use both. His attack power was strong enough to rival two people.
It can be said that this team composed entirely of psychics is very powerful, and among them there are several rare psychics with strong attack power. In the future, the Symbiotic Mercenary Group will become a legendary existence.
"That won't work. It'll make everyone tired if we keep our nerves stretched too thin. And then it'll be even harder to deal with the thorn vines."
Some people are already gasping for breath, you can imagine how much mental exhaustion they must have endured!
"Change the strategy. Fire-type mutants, start the first wave of attack. Wind-type and earth-type mutants will assist." Michelle led the entire team.
All the psychics capable of long-range attacks have accumulated strength in their hands, and the fireballs of the fire psychics landed on the thorn vines first.
Fire is the nemesis of plants. The thorn vines suddenly let out a shrill roar, which sounded very much like a baby crying, and it tended to get louder and louder.
The sound was getting louder and louder, which directly affected everyone. The eardrums lost their fighting power due to the attack of high-intensity sound. They could only cover their ears with their hands and bite their teeth to reduce the pressure on the eardrums.
Those who have lost their fighting ability are like lambs to be slaughtered. The thorn vines scream miserably without stopping for a moment, and the dense vines wrap around everyone like emerald green snakes.
Some vines had rotten flesh or blood-stained rags hanging on their thorns. The vines were covered with black and red blood. It was not difficult to see that it was the blood of zombies. Even if these vines were not poisonous themselves, once they had the blood of zombies or were contaminated by the zombie virus, they would be more terrifying than the poisonous ones.
"Everyone, be careful not to get hurt by the vines."
Seeing the vines attacking many people in the team, someone shouted, enduring the piercing pain in his head and eardrums.
Misel picked up Lan Ling, who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, and said, "Hold on, step back."
No one wanted to die just like that. They hadn't gotten their own partner yet, and they hadn't really tried their best. So they endured the pain and discomfort, and stepped back step by step, their eyes fixed on the vines not far away. The supernatural powers in their hands were ready, and they could throw them out at any time as long as the vines got close to them.
Looking at the slow movement of the vines, Shi Yue couldn't help but think. She saw the scene of dragging away the third-level zombie before. The speed of the vines was not very fast at that time. There must be a reason why it is so slow now.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind. "Take advantage of now, while the thorn vines are slowing down, and increase the intensity of the attack."
Shi Yue roared so loudly that everyone heard it. After Michelle repeated it, he attacked with all his might, throwing all his long-range abilities at the body of the thorn vine.
Part of it was blocked by the vines, and the other part directly hit the body of the thorn vine. The sound became more and more shrill, and it was completely enraged. After that, the thorn vine no longer made any sound, but just kept attacking with its vines.
The dense vines almost covered an entire space. One person had to deal with a dozen or even dozens of vines. It could be said that he was overwhelmed and even found it difficult to protect himself.
The psychic with little attack power can only use the knife in his hand to prevent the vines from approaching.
The speedster adjusted his speed to the highest, jumping up and down, attracting the vines around him and wrapping them together into a ball.
"Leo, light a fire here."
Leo heard the sound and threw a fireball, which hit the vines that were tangled into a ball accurately.
The speed-type mutant immediately went to help others, and followed the same method. Soon, several fire-type mutants escaped.
Misel pointed at the only flower on the thorn vine. "That must be its weak point, Wessel. It's up to you now. We'll cover you. Go throw this into the flower's mouth and run away."
Wessel was the speedster. He patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me!"
"Come back alive."
"Sure." Weatherall clenched his right fist and placed it over his heart.
The four fire-type mutants protected Wessel in the middle, dodging the attacking vines while speeding up towards the main body of the thorn vine.
Suddenly, the thorn vines seemed to react and pulled back all the vines that were attacking others, attacking four people.
"Weisel!" Misel yelled.
Like an arrow shot from a bow, Weatherall shot out, heading straight for the thorn vine itself.
As he approached, Weatherill pulled the fuse of the bomb and threw it into the core of the flower two seconds before the explosion. Before he could run ten meters, the bomb exploded.
"Weasel!!!"
Amid the explosion, fragments of thorn vines fell like rain, and the smell of green juice was sickening.
But no one noticed this. The whole world seemed to be quiet, and everyone's eyes were red.
"Ahem." A cough came from behind a tree. "I've been shot. Can someone help me?"
Everyone burst into tears when they heard Wessel's voice. Leo and Misel helped Wessel out from behind the tree.
"You scared me to death."
"I thought you were dead, bro!"
A group of people came over and patted Weatherall on the shoulder.
Shi Yue hurried over to check on Wessel's injuries. When the bomb exploded, a piece of debris embedded itself into Wessel's right calf. The wound wasn't big, but the surrounding flesh had shown signs of infection.
Even though Shi Yue used his special ability, it didn't work at all. It just stopped the bleeding. Shi Yue's face looked a little ugly. "Let the captain take a look?"
Everyone put away the smiles on their faces and helped Wessel walk towards Luo Ye.
Luo Ye had already gotten off Baozi before the bomb exploded, and Luo Ye helped a lot in Weatherill's escape.
Seeing several people coming, Luo Ye said nothing and walked directly to Wessel, "Lift your legs."
Wessel didn't understand what Luo Ye was going to do, but he lifted it up obediently.
Luo Ye stretched out his hand and covered Wessel's wound. Strands of black air came out of the wound and surrounded Luo Ye's hand. After a while, Luo Ye put down his hand.
There was no sign of decay on Wessel's wound, so Shi Yue stepped forward again and used his supernatural powers to treat it, and it finally healed.
"The rewards will be distributed when we get back and have time. Now, come out."
"Yes." Everyone was in high spirits because of their victory. They returned to the car in high spirits, without any feeling of weakness due to the near exhaustion of their superpowers.
"Miss, this is for you." At this time, Eserqi handed a green, palm-sized diamond-shaped gem-like object to Luo Ye.
Luo Ye put it away and let Eserqi go back.
That was the crystal core of the thorn vine that stored energy. She would take it back and put it in the rewards, and then distribute it to the wood-type mutants.
