Chapter 67: Reduced to Ashes
() During the struggle, Du Jiujiu's thigh suddenly touched a cold and hard object, which made her spirit suddenly lift.
"It's ...... Machete! By the way, I didn't think of it just now!! ”
Du Jiujiu only remembered at this time that she was carrying the scimitar that An Cheng had just given her before leaving. If you have a weapon in your hand, this cocoon surrounded by tough and tight vines is no longer unbreakable.
Du Jiujiu endured the huge pain coming from his skin, and used his strength to squeeze his arm through the crevices of the wriggling vines.
The moment her fingertips touched the scimitar, she vented her accumulated anger.
"Die!!" Du Jiujiu shouted angrily, the muscles in his body burst out, and the scimitar slashed out hard.
As the light reappeared in front of her, the vines that wrapped her body were suddenly cut into two pieces and fell to the ground one after another.
After escaping from the giant cocoon surrounded by vines, the first thing that caught his eye was Hu Xiaoyun, who was entangled in vines.
Although there are only a few vines, for Hu Xiaoyun's physical fitness, it is difficult to break free.
Just as Du Jiujiu was about to rush over to rescue her, she saw Hu Xiaoyun take a deep look at her, and then a dazzling fire erupted on her body, enveloping Hu Xiaoyun and the vines on her body.
"Sister Xiaoyun!!" Du Jiujiu's eyes were also fixed on the flame.
Until the firelight gradually dissipated, a figure slowly revealed.
The long, fiery red hair was wrapped in the flames' hot air currents and rose and fell in midair, and the scorching flames didn't hurt them in the slightest.
Hu Xiaoyun raised her hands, and the flames on her body were retracted into her palms.
It was only then that a trace of blood reappeared on her pale face.
And her gaze was unprecedentedly determined.
"Jiujiu, I don't want to be a burden anymore!"
When trapped by the vines, Hu Xiaoyun struggled for a long time but had no way to break free.
She wanted to give up and resign herself to fate.
But after seeing that Du Jiujiu was able to escape from those entangled, cage-like cocoons, she suddenly felt that compared to Du Jiujiu, who would never admit defeat, she was simply too bad.
Obviously, they have experienced the end times together and encountered dangers together, but every time they are in danger, they are the ones who are saved.
She is not reconciled!
She doesn't want to be a burden forever!
Since the hands can gather flames, so can the body. She could have gambled once, betting that those flames wouldn't hurt herself. If she wins, she can be saved; Otherwise, she would have been reduced to ashes like the vines.
Fortunately, she didn't lose.
Du Jiujiu opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, the vine that had attacked her before had already sprouted new branches again, staggering towards the two of them.
"This thing doesn't know whether to live or die!" Du Jiujiu swung the scimitar fiercely, this time with her previous experience, she carefully avoided the thin whiskers of these purple-red vines and cut off the vines directly.
After the purple-red vines hit the ground, the new vines still desperately stretched out from the fracture.
This time, the vine's growth rate was significantly reduced, but it still haunted them, preventing them from leaving.
"It's endless!" Du Jiujiu's tone began to become a little impatient, and as time passed minute by minute, her patience was almost exhausted by them.
Hu Xiaoyun, who was condensing the fireball on the side, looked at the vines that kept regenerating, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a solution.
"Jiujiu, these vines must have roots! If we destroy their roots, they may die! ”
"That's right!" Du Jiujiu, who was entangled with vines, also thought deeply when he heard this.
Du Jiujiu used her astonishing eyesight to scan the criss-crossing vines, and when she found the densest concentration of vines.
"There it is!!" She slammed to her feet, lightning speed, splitting through layers of mutated vines, and rushed over in the blink of an eye.
"Break it for me!" Du Jiujiu let out a loud shout, withdrew the scimitar from his waist, clenched his palm into a fist, and slammed it to the ground.
With a loud bang, the ground sank deep, and the densely wriggling roots were revealed in the pit.
"Sister Xiaoyun, it's now!!"
As soon as Du Jiujiu began to act, Hu Xiaoyun began to condense flames, and at this time, the scorching fireball was floating in her hands and was ready to attack.
After receiving Du Jiujiu's order, Hu Xiaoyun waved his arm out without hesitation, and controlled the fireball with his mind to break through the air and smash it into the exposed roots with lightning speed.
A wave of heat hit both of them's faces.
The surrounding blades of grass are blown by layers like undulating green waves.
Du Jiujiu stood quietly beside him, watching the mutated plant completely turn into ashes.
"Jiujiu! Your face ......"
After the vines were uprooted, Hu Xiaoyun had time to take a closer look at Du Jiujiu at this time. But this look startled her.
Du Jiujiu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he remembered that he had just been trapped in a giant cocoon surrounded by vines, and his exposed skin was rubbed with the mucus oozing from the vines.
It was better when she didn't mention it, but now that her attention was just back to herself, she felt a hot pain all over her body.
Du Jiujiu looked down and saw that his arms and thighs were covered with strings of blisters, and the skin around him was also red, looking very human.
Without much thought, her face probably wasn't much better.
However, when her life is not guaranteed, how can she be in the mood to worry about whether her face looks good or not.
"I'm fine, let's get out of here, I'm worried there might be vines lurking nearby."
Hu Xiaoyun saw that Du Jiujiu didn't care about it, and he no longer stared at her face. I only hope that Du Jiujiu's super recovery ability can make the wounds on her face heal quickly.
"Okay, let's leave right away. We were careless, and it seems that it is not only animals that are dangerous in this forest. ”
Hu Xiaoyun took a deep breath and adjusted his state slightly.
Her abilities had been consumed a lot in the battle just now, and she was already feeling the exhaustion coming from the depths of her body.
Although Du Jiujiu was injured, his mental state seemed to be better. After making sure there was no other danger around, she brushed aside the vine branches scattered on the ground and retrieved the long knife that had been hidden underneath.
The long knife was stained with slimy whiskers, and Du Jiujiu easily plucked a soft leaf from a low branch, and it took a lot of effort to wipe the long knife clean and fix it on his back again.
After so many days in the wild, they had not seen any aggressive plants, and they had even forgotten that these plants on the ground were now ever-changing and different.
After going through the danger just now, Du Jiujiu and Hu Xiaoyun became much more cautious when they hurried, and when they arrived in front of the supermarket, the sun was already in the middle.
