Chapter 21: Sacrifices and Gifts
"Young people have a lot of energy."
Maha wiped the sweat from his face, took out the compressed air canister from his backpack, and released the air outward, but there was no air in the Bayira Stone Cranberry Ball at all.
"You said this thing is ten kilometers in diameter, and we're at least eight kilometers ahead now, do you want to penetrate this thing? Or rather, this thing is conscious, and it's blocking us from entering the central area. ”
Su Xiao's breathing also began to be a little heavy, if anyone else saw Su Xiao and Ma Ha's current appearance, they would definitely drop their jaws in shock, such a powerful two people are now like two coolies who were mining in ancient times.
"I don't know, it's the first time I've gone this deeper, water."
Ma Ha threw Su Xiao a bottle of water, and Su Xiao gulped a few big sips and poured the rest of the water on his head.
Su Xiao has cooperated with the plot characters many times, but most of those plot characters are ghostly, only two of them are sincere in cooperating with Su Xiao, one of them is the old godfather of the Holy Grail World, and the other is Maha.
"I shouldn't be able to get out alive this time."
Maha looked at Killua and Aluka, who were already asleep, and that kind of gaze was the care of the elders for their juniors.
"An old guy like me, it's actually not bad to die here, wait until you go deep into the center and find that kind of plant, keep a distance of three meters from me at all times, if my thoughts change to other colors, kill me as soon as possible, I will help you buy a few seconds, no, it may be a shorter time."
"No problem."
Su Xiao didn't know the specific reason, but if killing Maha was also part of the cooperation, there was nothing to hesitate about.
"Thank you."
Maha patted his left ear, but he still couldn't hear.
Su Xiao and Ma Ha continued to open the road, thirty hours later.
Su Xiao squatted on the ground, and Ma Ha stood in front of the large broken vines and punched them.
Bang!
The vines shattered and opened a large hole, and Maha's body shook and almost fell straight down.
"I can't tell the way with this thing."
Su Xiao threw the compass in his hand aside, and after thirty hours of fumbling, he already knew why
They can't break through the vines, because they've been circling in the vines.
At first, because the vines had the property of regeneration, Su Xiao and the others didn't notice this, but they didn't know what was going on until they found a large piece of broken vines that were squeezed together when they opened the way.
It is absolutely not enough to make enough space to fit in, and to open the way in this sealed group of vines, you also need to leave room for the accumulation of broken vines.
From the moment he was surrounded by vine balls, the space became limited, and those slashed vines would also occupy the space, although Su Xiao could put these broken vines into the storage space, but at that time, he would not be able to use them.
"Regeneration requires nutrients, and I don't believe this thing can regenerate forever."
Maha's face was ruthless, he was not tired, he was originally a little like an alien, but at the moment he looked like a ghost, and he didn't need makeup to shoot ghost movies.
The current situation is a war of attrition, and it depends on whether Su Xiao and the others can't hold it first, or whether the nutrients of the Bayila stone vine are insufficient, so they stop regenerating.
As long as the Bayira Stone Vine stopped regenerating, Su Xiao and the others would soon be able to break through the vine ball.
Originally, the Boyla Stone Vine would heal in a dozen seconds, but now it takes at least 10 minutes or more to regenerate new vines.
Another six hours passed.
Su Xiao slashed the vines in front of him with a few knives, and on the broken vines in front of him, a hole the thickness of a bowl mouth appeared, and several broken vines fell out of the hole.
"It's ......"
Su Xiao's pupils constricted, and he immediately stepped back.
Click, click......
Large cracks appeared in the surrounding vines, and the entire vine ball began to tremble.
Click! Su Xiao's feet were empty, and the large vines that fell from above enveloped him like an avalanche.
A few seconds after falling, Su Xiao felt the feeling of landing, he was in the broken vine, and the feeling of heavy pressure came from behind, which made him immediately judge that he was lying in the broken vine.
Su Xiao was like swimming, squeezing from the inside of the broken vine upward, as if there was no strong force, he would definitely not be able to squeeze out.
A few minutes later.
With a bang, a hand poked out from the broken vine, Su Xiao's hand was propped up on the vine, and his body was detached from the broken vine.
"Whew, Whew......"
Su Xiao breathed heavily, he held his breath for nearly ten minutes, and he was lying in the wrong direction before.
Bu Buwang came quickly, this thing was lucky, it was not buried deeply. And it happened to be with Eminem, so Killua and the others weren't crushed by the broken vines.
Su Xiao almost smashed the entire Bayira stone vine group, this vine is self-conscious, it has been preventing Su Xiao and the others from reaching the center, however, it was dragged down in the protracted battle, and when it couldn't bear the weight of those broken vines, the entire vine group was crushed.
Su Xiao looked around, this was an oval space with a diameter of about ten kilometers, and the location was in the center of the Withered Mountain, the reason why he knew this was because the second ring of Su Xiao's hidden mission had been completed.
Su Xiao glanced at the third ring of the hidden mission, and his eyebrows raised.
A withered hand poked out from within the broken vine, black thoughts wrapped around the arm.
Just when Su Xiao thought that there would be Maha being controlled by the 'king' in the plant, Maha's head poked out.
"Help me pull it out! I can't catch it anymore. ”
Maha's masseter muscles protruded, and he wrapped one arm around a large swath of broken vines, as if wrestling with something below.
Su Xiao rushed forward in a few steps and grabbed Ma Ha's arm.
"Eminem."
Hearing Su Xiao's shout, Eminem also rushed forward quickly, grabbed Maha's head directly, and pulled it out like a turnip.
Maha looked at Eminem directly, although it felt very bad at the moment, but Eminem was a big help.
Under the powerful power of Su Xiao and Eminem, Maha was dragged out of the broken vine, and he grasped the root system of a plant in his right hand.
Su Xiao and Eminem also grabbed this root, and after being dragged by the three of them, the thing hidden under the vine was dragged out.
It is a small, wilty flower about 20 centimeters tall, with several emerald green leaves on its stem, which are oval in shape and fleshy.
Although the 'size' of this little white flower is very small, its root system is very long, it is more than a dozen roots that are 100 meters long, and Su Xiao and the three of them did not break it together, which shows how strong this thing is.
"It really exists."
Maha was holding the little white flower in his hand, which seemed to have been appointed, and was lying on his stomach in Maha's hand.
"What will happen after that?"
Su Xiao felt that it would never be easy for Maha to take great pains to bring Killua and Alujia.
"Ahem."
Maha coughed dryly, and his old face was slightly embarrassed.
"I didn't know exactly what to do before I saw this thing, most of my information came from the V5 organization, the only thing I know for sure is that if you want to solve my immortality, you must go deep into the Bred Mountain, as for bringing Aluja and Killua here, it's all just in case.
My immortality is related to the Naniga in Aluka's body, and after Aluja enters the Bland Mountain, the Naiga in his body will never appear, so I brought Killua with me, he is the only person who can summon Naniga in the Bland Mountain, which I have tried many times in the crater. ”
Maha looked at the small white flower in his hand, and after hesitating for a moment, he shoved the small flower into his mouth.
"I left you some small gifts in Zuno, T3M77854, this is a code word, as for the way out, from the rock wall on the east side, it won't be long before you can get out, Killua and Aluja please, farewell...... My friend,"
As soon as Maha's voice fell, Su Xiao received a prompt.
[The Hunter has opened personal friendship with the plot character Maha Beat the Enemy, and the current friendship is 93 points.] 】
Maha bites on the small white flower, and the roots of the small white flower gush up, instantly wrapping Maha inside, forming a cocoon.
Black thoughts erupted from the root cocoon, and the roots began to wither rapidly, turning into debris and evaporating at the same time.
In just a few seconds, Maha and the little white flower disappeared and turned into a kind of black dust. No, he came to seek death, to fight for the continuation of the enemy and the guest.
