Chapter 100: A life-saving fire that fell from the sky
In addition to their very strong growth ability, the plants in Eternal Paradise also have extraordinary attack capabilities. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After receiving the order to attack from Usamiyuki, all the plants swung their many "tentacles" towards October and Tokizaki who were in it.
The botanical garden is so full of plants that it leaves a very small area for people to move around, and even the slender October is just able to stand between the plants normally, while the stronger Tokizaki needs to stand slightly sideways.
In such a situation, it can be said that there is almost no room for the use of force.
However, at this time, their small foothold is still shrinking.
The trees seemed to have cultivated to perfection, wielding their branches and roots to attack and bind them.
Seeing the tree trunks on the left and right pushing over, and the roots of the tree under his feet spiraling up his legs, October hurriedly jumped straight up, and at the same time turned on a hidden switch on the handle of the whip held in his right hand, and the shape of the long whip changed.
Her soft-lock whip is made of 180 one-centimeter-long, bamboo-shaped steel locks, all of which contain small, sharp teeth that can be used as soft knives when they are opened to reveal them, which are used to cut branches and cut trees.
Tokizaki's ability is not known for his weapons, so he only has two short knives on his body for protection, and at this time, he has also held them in his hands and fought with October against the plants that are attacked from all sides.
But when the enemy is outnumbered, the more they struggle, the more it looks like they are fighting a trapped beast. No matter how hard you try, you can only carve out a small space in place that is just enough to accommodate you, and there is nowhere to escape.
The two of them jumped like squirrels in the dense forest, and in a short time they were exhausted and unable to continue.
"How do I feel like I'm fighting more and more! Is there any way to solve a large piece of it at once? ”
October gasped and shouted at Tokizaki, the whip in his hand still dancing rapidly.
"I can't help it. If this continues, sooner or later we will have to fall completely into the encirclement of these plants and then be strangled to death by them. ”
Tokizaki returned helplessly at the same volume.
"Can't you use illusions to confuse her anymore?"
"No, she's already seen it once, and it's already difficult to control her consciousness again, and I can't meditate on it at this time, so it's even more difficult."
"Then don't we just have to wait for death? My water attack doesn't seem to work on these crazy trees either. ”
The sound of the conversation between the two was quickly drowned out under the frenzied blocking of the plants, and so did the body. In the end, even the space to swing the weapon in his hand is deprived.
October gritted her teeth and tried to spread her arms and feet as far as she could against the approaching tree trunks, but her strength was clearly unable to stop them.
The thick branches squeezed her to the point of suffocation in a moment, and her limbs, which kept moving and resisting, were soon entangled by the small vine roots and could not move. The core has shut itself down, and there is no way to fight.
At this time, she was like a sculpture entangled in snakes, and her slightly distorted facial muscles depicted a very painful look.
Tokizaki's situation is not much better than hers. The branches above kept pressing downward, and the plants in front and back, left and right trapped him like an iron prison. Although he has a knife in his hand, it is completely useless, and it is not much different from his bare hands.
In despair, the two find themselves in danger of being crushed and entangled by many large trees, as Usami Yuki had said earlier, and that they are about to fall completely.
With more and more tied up on his body, and getting tighter and tighter, October could only breathe with his head tilted as much as possible, and his two lips quickly opened one by one, but his cheeks gradually turned red, and he felt as if the bones in his whole body were about to be strangled, and his internal organs were about to burst.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of Chikage.
Chikage's fire should be able to deal with these plants, and if not get rid of them completely, at least it can buy her and Tokizaki time to get out.
Although he was extremely reluctant, he had to admit that he urgently needed her help at this time.
"That guy Chikage, why didn't you come yet, and said okay, answer us? It's really, so unjust! ”
This disbelief and helplessness about her own situation made her angry and annoyed to rebuke Chikage in an intermittent hoarse voice.
Her shouting did not know who had offended, but suddenly a red flame was drawn from above her head, and it fell exactly on the root of the tree that was pressing her on the right, like a comet falling and the fire of heaven coming suddenly.
"Wow, ah, ah, ah......"
Although the flames did not burn her, there were still fluttering sparks that accidentally brushed the ends of her hair, and a small puff of green smoke rose as soon as the "swish" sounded, accompanied by a nasty burnt smell, which caused her to scream repeatedly.
With this shout, a steady stream of fireballs fell from the sky through the dense foliage and smashed into various trees in the botanical garden.
The branches that had been struck by the flames immediately burst into flames, and the garden was crackling and black smoke rising from the ground, a scene similar to when Tokizaki had used his illusion before.
However, October doesn't think it's Tokizaki's illusion. Because she was too familiar with this flame, it was the Dance of Red Flames.
"A Thousand Shadows!"
As she shouted the name she had both hoped for and resisted, a white figure floated from above and landed on a tree branch above her.
With October's current movements, he just looked up at the person.
The face that was half-hidden under the mask and should have been expressionless suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at her: "October, miss me?" ”
"Stupid, who, miss you! If you have time to be handsome, you might as well come and save me. ”
As she spoke, another figure flashed in front of Moon, moving left and right at a speed so fast that it was impossible to see its form, dodging plant attacks while swinging her arms at her side.
In the midst of the afterimage, almost all the roots and vines of the plants that bound October were broken and fell. October felt relaxed, as if he had been reborn.
"Okay, take care of the rest."
Araki's eager voice just sounded in her ears, but there was no longer a figure of Araki, and he rushed to save Shi Qi, who was in the same predicament as her.
October hurriedly opened the spirit core again to save himself and fight.
By the time the Araki Gang had relieved the siege, Chikage had set up an ice shield around it to block the infestation of flames and plants.
"It's not a good place to stay here, let's get out of it quickly."
Thousand Shadows said as she jumped from the tree to Ten's side.
October looked up at the top and saw that there was a hole in the ceiling within the protection area of the ice shield, which should have been made by Usami Yuki when he launched the Eternal Life Paradise.
The branches around the entrance to the cave have been cleared by Chikage and Araki, who jumped from there, and are now used as an escape exit.
"Okay, let's get rid of this troublesome woman first."
The four of them worked together to clear the few remaining obstacles around them, and one by one they jumped towards the hole.
Usa, who had been watching from the end of the corridor, saw that the four wanted to escape, and immediately dodged the surrounding flames and rushed after them.
