Chapter 609, Contaminated Zone 6 (Thirty-Three)
Suddenly, a disheveled figure appeared on the roadside in front of the vehicle.
The man knelt among the withered vines, his combat uniform torn in several places and covered in mud and dark stains, as if he had been dragging it on the ground for a long time.
"It's Liang Zishi!" came the exclamation from the sentry on the roof of the vehicle.
Sentry of the Dawn Base reinforcement force.
One of the five missing people.
Xie Tu had just helped Yun Zhao to his feet when he glanced at the figure parked by the roadside. Seeing the armored vehicle approaching, the figure wore a relieved expression and waved to them, "Captain Xie!"
"no."
Xie Tu didn't respond, but said, "It's an eclipsing vine."
Fu Heng slowed down the car, and a voice came from the driver's seat, "I didn't see anything unusual."
Especially the breath.
As a sentinel with keen senses, she did not detect the unpleasant aura of dark matter.
Liang Zishi's expression was vivid and lifelike. He frowned because of the pain from his wounds, and his waving gesture was even a little weak and unsteady. He looked like a survivor who had gone through a lot of hardships.
Jiang Mu remained motionless: "You'll find out soon enough."
Because of them, there is a bug-like guide among them.
Sure enough, Yun Zhao made his move as soon as he reached the second floor of the car roof.
Strands of fluorescent light surged toward 'Liangzi Stone'. The moment it saw the spiritual threads, its expression changed drastically, but it neither ran nor hid. Instead, it stared blankly at Yun Zhao.
Are you going to take these lowly humans back with you?
The moment the spiritual thread entered, a deep, murky voice echoed from the depths of consciousness.
Ling Yunzhao's movements faltered.
She sensed its consciousness again.
You shouldn't be hostile towards me. Without me, you wouldn't have survived to adulthood.
Suddenly, a huge red eye in the thick fog turned and "looked" straight at her.
On the iris, black blood vessels are pulsating in a manner that defies common sense.
Each blood vessel splits into smaller tendrils at its end, spreading across the surface of the eyeball like rotting tree roots.
So powerful.
Just a simple eye contact made her feel an overwhelming mental pressure.
Yun Zhao kept her eyes tightly closed, and her spiritual energy gathered according to her will, forming layer upon layer of barriers around her, isolating her from some of the direct power.
She wanted to ask what it was and why it was staring at her like a voyeur.
But he found that he couldn't make a sound; he was only receiving its consciousness.
He made a deal with me; raising cubs would be fun, so I agreed to his request.
But you've been corrupted by those inferior creatures. Come back, child. You belong here. I will help you see your true self...
The sticky, wet sound echoed in my ear canal, carrying an endless allure.
It felt as if countless tiny tentacles were traveling along her nerve endings.
To others, Liang Zishi and Yun Zhao on the roadside stopped moving at the same time and suddenly became completely still.
Xie Tu's expression changed slightly. "It deliberately appeared here, waiting for Yun Zhao to make a move."
Before he could finish speaking, the car suddenly jolted.
"Snap—"
A thick vine was run over by a wheel and instantly burst out of its camouflage!
The once withered skin suddenly became congested with blood, and the vines whipped like whips towards the bottom of the car, the tips splitting into four pieces to reveal the dense barbs inside.
The car shook violently, and a teeth-grinding scraping sound came from the chassis.
"Damn it!" Xia Mingang grabbed the sidearm that was about to be thrown off course.
Fu Heng remained as steady as a mountain, holding the steering wheel firmly with one hand while quickly activating the automatic launch device with the other. The tires suddenly increased pressure, crushing the vines that had wrapped around them.
Dark red liquid splattered on the windshield, corroding it and producing a hissing white smoke.
Jiang Mu had already opened the passenger door, his entire body hanging outside the car, using a knife in one hand to cut the vines attacking the vehicle.
"I originally thought that with Yun Zhao around, the journey would be very peaceful."
Jiang Mu shook off the slime on his knife, still in the mood to joke, "Looks like Yun Zhao is Yun Zhao, and we are us. The gatekeeper doesn't want us to be her guests."
"Shut up!" Fu Heng kept her eyes fixed on the road ahead, swerving to avoid the obstacle.
The entire earth suddenly began to undulate.
The previously still "ground" began to undulate.
That wasn't soil at all, but layers upon layers of vines!
They disguise themselves as the ground, waiting for their prey to step into their trap.
At this moment, the entire area awakened, and vines gathered towards the vehicles like a tide, secreting viscous digestive juices as their scales opened and closed.
"pay close attention!"
Fu Heng jerked the steering wheel, nearly turning the car to its side, narrowly avoiding the main vine that was attacking from the side.
The vine crashed to the ground, instantly corroding the road surface and creating a bubbling hole.
The immense inertia nearly threw the people on the roof off the vehicle.
Two sentries clung tightly to the edge of the vehicle, using the modified guardrail to block the overwhelming vines that were being flung at them.
The van behind them wasn't so lucky.
The car body was quickly entangled by vines and was lifted into the air, unable to move.
Fu Meng used the rearview mirror to his advantage and suddenly turned the steering wheel.
The armored vehicle had to turn around to rescue the people.
Xie Tu protected Yun Zhao and took advantage of the chaos to open the skylight. "The roots of the vines are underground! Xia Ming'ang, come up and help!"
Xia Mingang immediately understood his intention and said irritably, "Bixi isn't a groundhog!"
Of the several people's spiritual entities, only the Bixi, with its astonishing defensive power, could break through the soil without being harmed by the vines.
Jiang Mu turned around: "How will we know if we don't try? Cut it open, and leave the rest to us."
Xia Mingang also knew the priorities, "That's what they say, but I can't command it..."
The words fell.
The Bixi appeared on its own.
The enormous body carrying the stone tablet descended from the sky, instantly creating a huge crater in the ground behind it.
Countless vines lashed out like whips, striking the tortoise shell with a series of loud thuds.
The bixi was completely immune, and its four legs kicked wildly on the ground, digging two or three meters into the ground in the blink of an eye.
"You have no backbone, you're nothing like me..." Xia Mingang was speechless.
The young master never imagined that his spiritual body would one day be used as a drilling machine.
He climbed onto the roof through the sunroof, raised his gun, and shot at the vines that were entangled in the van, stopping them from pulling the van further into the air.
It didn't take long at all.
The bixi had already dug down more than ten meters, revealing thick, dark root nodules at the bottom of the pit.
The intertwined roots writhe underground like a giant python, forming a nauseating web of flesh. Each branch ends in a sucker-like mouthpart, constantly spurting out a putrid, sticky liquid.
“Bixi, go back.”
The enormous form of the fire phoenix materialized, raised its head and let out a cry, its body radiating scorching flames as it soared into the sky.
The figure of the bixi disappeared into the giant pit.
The fire phoenix swooped down, trailing flames.
The flames spread wildly along the veins of the vines, and the dark root nodules burst open when they encountered the fire, igniting the viscous sap.
The roots, as thick as pythons, twisted and rolled in the fire, making a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound, like countless live snakes being roasted.
