Chapter 33: The Devil's Thorn Forest (Part II)

Devil's Thorn Forest, if it's the first time you hear this name, anyone will think that this is the name of a forest, but in fact, the Devil's Thorn Forest refers to a community of demon beasts, and the demon beast species that make up these communities are [Devil Thorns].

Few people in this world know exactly what the devil's thorns look like, and there are very few documented documents, because their bodies are buried deep in the ground from birth to death, and only the thorns that make up the main body of the forest - their tentacles are exposed on the ground. Their tentacles usually grow motionless on the ground like an ordinary thorn, but once a poor prey strays into their forbidden area, these tentacles will become the most ferocious and sharp predators, they will wrap their prey tightly like a python, but will not entangle the prey to death, because they need to suck the fresh blood of the prey through the spikes on the tentacles, which is transmitted to the body underground.

Devil Thorn has always been a monster species that has caused headaches for most hunters and even countries. Of course, if it's just a Devil Thorn, it won't give them a headache, the main thing is that the Devil Thorn always appears in a community, and when you see a Devil Thorn, you will definitely see a whole Devil Thorn Forest. Moreover, the vitality and reproductive ability of the Devil Thorn are also amazingly strong, if you want to kill them, you must completely kill their bodies buried deep in the ground, otherwise it will be futile to kill their exposed tentacles on the ground, because new tentacles will grow quickly, even faster than cutting off their tentacles.

But it's not easy to kill them completely, their bodies are buried deep in the ground, at least more than ten meters, and at most nearly a hundred meters, you can't dig a pit to kill them surrounded by their tentacles, this is obviously unrealistic, it's good to save your life. Later, some kingdoms came up with a way to poison the whole Devil Thorn Forest, although the workload is huge, but it is much easier than digging a pit, but unfortunately those tentacles have almost filtered the toxins in the process of transferring the toxins to the body, even if they can kill a few weak Devil Thorns, it is not much use, and in the end, each kingdom can only draw an isolation zone around the Devil Thorn Forest to prevent creatures from straying into the forest, although the Devil Thorns can still rely on the creatures in the land to live, But at least there won't be enough nourishment for them to continue to breed in large numbers, and it's under control.

There is a Devil's Thorn Forest in the territory of the Nifur Kingdom, but fortunately, it was dealt with early, and it was controlled without waiting for them to multiply in large numbers, unlike some kingdoms, which only thought of dealing with it when it was about to become uncontrollable, and finally could only give up a large area of the country.

Yuna's weapon is naturally a tentacle of the devil's thorns, but it's certainly not as simple as cutting it down and using it directly, it must be specially crafted, and it can continue to have vitality through the spirit, and it can grow or be reborn, but it doesn't seem to be able to suck blood, but think about it, it's also to suck blood in order to transfer nutrients to the body, and now there is only one tentacle left, even if it sucks blood, there is no place to transport it.

Luo Xiaoxue looked around, more and more thorns had broken out of the ground in Yuna's charming smile, and it seemed that it had become a small devil thorn forest!

Yuna shook slightly, and the charred black cocoon turned into shards all over the ground, and then chuckled at Luo Xiaoxue: "You have also found out, my weapon is made of the tentacles of the devil thorns, and most of the abilities of the devil thorns also have the ability that it does not have, such as the spikes on the tentacles can grow new tentacles, so that even if there is only one tentacle in my hand, I can create a devil thorn forest, but the heart of this forest is not buried in the ground." ”

"It's not buried in the ground, so it's much easier to kill." Luo Xiaoxue's eyes were calm, and she silently adjusted the left pistol back to the first order, but the right pistol was adjusted to the third order.

"Not necessarily." Yuna said as countless tentacles emerged from the ground, wrapping around her body layer by layer, and in an instant, a large cocoon that looked several times thicker than before appeared to protect her. "Now you can't hurt me even if you attack like the one again, so how are you going to kill me?" A few tentacles retracted, revealing Yuna's smug look.

"But how are you going to move now?" Luo Xiaoxue subconsciously expressed the doubts in her heart, because Yuna's current appearance was like a huge cactus, very funny and clumsy.

"Why should I move?" Yuna raised her eyebrows, "You're already deep in the forest and can't escape, and your attack won't hurt me, I just need to stay here and watch you slowly turn into a cold corpse, but don't worry, even if you die, my sister will dress you up beautifully, it must be a beautiful work of art." ”

For Yuna's words, Luo Xiaoxue directly chose to ignore it, since she chose to be a clumsy cactus, this is exactly what Luo Xiaoxue is willing to see, after all, there is only one chance, it is better for Yuna to give up dodging, as for the defense she is proud of, Luo Xiaoxue has not paid much attention to it.

Holding the gun in his right hand and slowly exerting force, a faint white light began to appear on the muzzle of the gun - the third-order charge began!

Luo Xiaoxue naturally didn't know what Yuna thought in her heart, she was now full of where to place Luo Xiaoxue after making it into a work of art. The more I thought about Yuna, the more excited she became, all the devil thorns also swayed violently with Yuna's excitement, and a few tentacles that were originally attached to the ground at Luo Xiaoxue's feet also quietly raised their fronts, like a poisonous snake on standby raised their heads, and in the next second, these poisonous snakes bounced up to bite the prey in front of them, but their prey had disappeared in place.

This kind of attack is like saying hello in advance to Luo Xiaoxue, who has a sense of heart, and it will hardly work. After Luo Xiaoxue jumped up, her left pistol was fired, and each shot hit the front end of the attacking tentacles impartially, and the front ends of those tentacles were all blown up without exception, but they quickly regrown, and even the power of the second-order charge could not completely destroy them, and the first-order charge was naturally even more impossible.

Of course, it was not only the tentacles of these devil thorns that attacked Luo Xiaoxue, at this time, this small devil thorn forest had completely come to life, and they all attacked Luo Xiaoxue who was still in mid-air. Luo Xiaoxue was not flustered, she didn't need to look at it at all, she felt that she had clearly fed back all the surrounding situations back to her brain, and soon she found an attack gap, Luo Xiaoxue shot in the opposite direction to the gap, and her body fell back to the ground through the gap.

After falling back to the ground, Luo Xiaoxue quickly fired several shots in all directions, each shot would burst a tentacle that was already close, but for the tentacles that were a little farther away, she stopped shooting, just relied on the agility of her body to dodge flexibly, and never fired one more shot, because each additional shot would consume some more spirits, and the energy required for charging also came from the spirits, therefore, in order to make the attack after the third-order charge as strong as possible, it was necessary to use as many spirits as possible for charging, rather than wasting them on these tentacles that could never be finished.

Yuna in the cocoon playfully looked at Luo Xiaoxue who was jumping up and down surrounded by devil thorns, although she showed ease of coping, but Yuna firmly believed that this was only temporary, because Luo Xiaoxue needed to constantly consume physical strength, energy and spirit, and she only needed to consume a small amount of spirit to completely control this devil thorn forest freely, even if it was consumed, Luo Xiaoxue would be consumed.

Luo Xiaoxue's current situation is really not very good, although she has the help of her heart, she is becoming more and more tired in the face of tentacles coming from all directions, it is like trapping a person in a closed room, even if you tell him in advance which direction of the room he will attack from, but if the attack comes from every inch of the wall of the room at the same time, what is the point of telling him? Although this description is a bit exaggerated, it is almost the same, after all, the tentacles that attack Luo Xiaoxue will flexibly change the direction of the attack.

Finally, Luo Xiaoxue, who shot several tentacles and turned around to dodge a tentacle attack, was still pierced through her left calf by a tentacle attacking from behind, in fact, she had already sensed the attack from behind, but her body really couldn't react faster, so she could only barely jump, otherwise it might be the heart that was penetrated.

The calf was penetrated, the spikes were still tearing the muscles, and the blood flowed down the tentacles, but Luo Xiaoxue didn't even frown, as if she didn't feel the pain, and her movements didn't pause at all, and she exploded the tentacle with an expressionless face, and she didn't care that part of the tentacles that were still inserted in the calf and began to deal with the other tentacles.

"Scary girl." Yuna saw this scene through the gap in her tentacles and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Although she didn't care about the pain in her legs, the wound still affected Luo Xiaoxue's speed, and more and more tentacles left one scar after another on her body, although she still didn't show the slightest pain, but her movements obviously became a lot slower, just trying to avoid fatal injuries as much as possible. Even so, Luo Xiaoxue still kept the right-handed pistol in a charged state, and only used the left-handed pistol to shoot, she was still waiting for an opportunity, a chance to defeat the enemy with one move, before that, no matter how injured she was, she still had the strength to pull the trigger.

The third-order charge is different from the second-order charge, the muzzle of the gun always only emits a faint white light, which is difficult to detect without looking carefully in the daytime, but the body of the gun is more and more red, and holding it in the hand is like holding a piece of iron that has just been burned on the stove. At this time, the original blue body of the gun has turned pale red, and the temperature has reached the point where people feel hot.

Luo Xiaoxue held the gun, feeling the temperature from the body of the gun, but she was still a little dissatisfied, thinking about how much time it would take, she didn't dare to charge all the spirits into the gun, but she was still slowing down the charging speed as much as possible, because in the third-order charging, all the devices in the gun are running at the highest rate, which will greatly consume the life of the device, if a large number of spirits are stored in the gun for a long time in the state of third-order charging, it may not be able to withstand this huge energy before the gun body is released. But if you want to release it rashly, it is very likely that you will not achieve the desired result, so what Luo Xiaoxue is doing now is more like warming up the gun, so that after finding an opportunity, you can quickly charge the gun to the limit state and release the strongest blow.

Yuna was still intoxicated with the joy of playing with her prey, and she didn't notice the change in the gun, and she may have found out, but she didn't take it to heart, after all, Luo Xiaoxue was already at the end of her crossbow in her eyes, and even if she was dying in the end, she wouldn't be afraid.

Luo Xiaoxue's current situation is indeed very dangerous, the original snow-white skin has been hidden by a large area of red, and what is exposed under the broken dress is not a graceful spring full of infinite reverie, but an inexplicable red fear, more and more tentacles penetrate her thin body, but she still just bursts those tentacles one by one with an expressionless face.

"Don't you feel pain?" Yuna couldn't help but frown, "It's disgusting. ”

Of course, Luo Xiaoxue can't feel pain, but pain is more like a mental stimulant for her, although her body will corrode little by little in pain, but her spirit has a blood-pumping pleasure.

Luo Xiaoxue enjoyed the pain and thanked the pain, because it was the pain that made her open her dark eyes from the pile of dead people in that snowy night.
