Chapter 137 Night Battle with the Mutant Tree



Everyone was staring at the pheasant, but only one person caught Shangguan Wan's attention. At this time, everyone was paying attention to the food, and only he was looking at himself and Han Lie, because he was doubting and wondering if there was anything special about him.

Han Lie also noticed an ambiguous gaze. When the gaze was no longer on him, he turned around and took a quick look at him. This person was No. 22.

It is still not certain whether he is a traitor or not, but he has already aroused his suspicion.

Han Lie glanced at Shangguan Wan. They both had a clear idea in their minds, but now was not the time to attack him. If he died inexplicably now, it would instead arouse rebelliousness among the Red Eagle team members, who would think that he had bewitched Han Lie. Then he would become the target of public criticism. Only when he revealed his flaws and let the Red Eagle team discover them, would that be the time to kill him.

Lone Eagle and several Red Eagle team members quickly killed the pheasant and cleaned it. The pheasant's internal organs were eaten by the two pets.

They built a bonfire, put some wood used for pheasants through the pheasants' bodies, and roasted them over the fire.

It was a long time before they started to eat dinner.

After eating and drinking, the group began to divide up the night watch. The night watch was divided into groups of five, and the group was replaced every three hours until dawn.

The rest of the people rested in their cars. Shangguan Wan looked at No. 22 through the car window.

Because he was one of the first group. No. 22's behavior was rather strange. Although he seemed to be on patrol, he was always looking around, and no one knew what he was looking for.

In the middle of the night, Shangguan Wan suddenly dreamed that a thick branch swept over the car and shook it.

I woke up suddenly, feeling a gloomy feeling all over my body. Shangguan Wan used her mental power to explore, jumped out of the bed, and pushed Han Lie to "prepare for battle"

Han Lie woke up when Shangguan Wan woke up, and looked at Shangguan Wan. When he heard Shangguan Wan's words again, he was a little confused "What's wrong, Wanwan?"

"The mutant tree attacked, why didn't the patrolmen make a sound?" I was puzzled. Could they have been killed?

A hint of murderous intent flashed across Han Lie's deep eyes. It's best not to touch your bottom line.

Shangguan Wan opened the door of the RV and went down immediately, knocking on the door of the Hummer and saying, "Get up!"

The lone eagle, the goshawk, also woke up immediately and looked around vigilantly.

Han Lie got out of the car but did not call the Red Eagle team members. He just looked around but did not see the five patrol members including No. 22.

Han Lie exuded a cold aura, even though he had known from Shangguan Wan that there was a traitor around him.

But he still couldn't accept it for the time being. Those were the soldiers he had trained. The other four team members might have been in danger now. The disappearance of the five people made him feel shocked.

"What happened?" Goshawk rubbed his blurry eyes and asked vaguely.

"Mutated tree, go wake everyone up and get the old people off the bus." Shangguan Wan stared at the front and found that there was more than one mutant tree.

A minute later, everyone gathered together. "The tree is afraid of fire. All fire-type abilities attack the tree roots. Those without fire-type abilities use torches to protect the old man and the car."

"Boss, why did the uncles get off the bus?"

"The vines will wrap around the car. If the car flips over, the old people will definitely die. You should also be careful. The branches will wrap around people." Han Lie hadn't finished speaking.

"Ah~ Save me!" A team member in their outermost circle was entangled by thin branches and hung in the air.

Shangguan Wan threw a fireball at one of the branches, causing the branch to shake and tighten even more. She then used the ice knife to pierce the branch directly.

Dark liquid flowed from the branch, and the branch suddenly let go of the person it had wrapped around. The team member fell directly from the air. Shangguan Wan used her spiritual power and took two steps forward to catch the person, but suddenly a branch with thorns appeared from behind the team member and went straight through the waist and abdomen of the team member in the air. In an instant, the team member seemed to have been drained of blood and turned into a mummy.

Seeing that she could no longer save the team member, Shangguan Wan stretched out her hand and a bolt of lightning struck the tree roots with a loud bang.

A puff of black smoke rose from the tree, and all the leaves fell off like leaves falling at the autumnal equinox.

Shangguan Wan was standing among the leaves, a beautiful scene, but no one was interested in watching her at this moment.

Shangguan Wan felt something moving under her feet, and another lightning-fast strike came down. She turned around and flew back, standing on the flat ground.

The rustling sound was creepy, and a huge net made of tangled branches came over like an overwhelming force.

All the fire-type ability users directly attacked the net above. Shangguan Wan and Han Lie tacitly attacked the weakest point. A crack appeared after the two attacks. They continued to burn it with fire, and the crack became bigger and bigger. The branch was seriously injured and was retracted.
