Chapter 101: The Living Jungle
The other heroes also attacked at the same time, and the power of Heracross, although not as exaggerated as the emperor, was not something that could be easily touched.
The all-round artillery support of War Weapon 13 burned a large area of vegetation in an instant.
The other heroes also showed their own powers, and without the help of Askar and them, the dense forest was fading at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
Now it seems that this mission is not as easy as the chairman said, and it seems that it will not be long before it is over.
But those who think so are laymen, and insiders have long noticed that something is wrong.
If the mission is really that simple, then why send such a powerful team?
Even at the expense of borrowing mecha soldiers, is this mission really that simple?
Lucy, who couldn't help but be so suspicious in her heart, began to constantly observe the situation around her, and did not let go of any trouble.
However, Lucy didn't notice that a vine suddenly stretched out from under her own feet, and she was instantly entangled in the vine and hung upside down in the air.
Lucy also reacted instantly, and immediately cut the vines with her beam sword, and her body began to fall.
But at this moment, the ground where Lucy fell suddenly cracked, and a huge mouth appeared at the location where Lucy fell, and if it continued like this, Lucy would undoubtedly be devoured.
Aska, who rushed ahead, also noticed the situation and immediately returned to help, but it was too late, and Lucy fell into her mouth.
"Lucy!" No longer hesitating, Askar immediately transformed into a giant of light, grabbed the huge strange mouth, and directly tore the big mouth apart, saving Lucy.
Askar carefully held Lucy, placed her on his shoulder, and asked, "Are you alright?" ”
“…… It's okay. Although slightly frightened, Lucy was unharmed: "Compared to this, that is ...... Plants? ”
That big mouth looks like a leaf of Cordyceps.
"It looks like the forest has woken up." At some point, Wilhel also stood on Aska's shoulder.
"Awake? What does that mean? Lucy asked.
"Literally, this jungle is just like his name, cannibal jungle. On the surface, it looks like a normal jungle, but there are man-eating plants inside, and this is just one of them......"
At this point, Velhel paused and said, "You'd better step back to the edge, this is not a place for children like you to tread." ”
"No, I was careless just now, and this will never happen again."
Just now, Lucy was only looking at other places, and she didn't pay attention to her feet at all, and Lucy would never allow herself to make such a low-level mistake again.
"yes, then you have to try to live." As he spoke, a pair of wings grew from his back and flew away, continuing to clear the plants.
Now that the jungle has awakened, it is estimated that the next cleanup will become difficult.
But it's not a big problem, they've done it so many times, and this time it should end smoothly.
It's just that this time the jungle has woken up faster than any of the previous ones, and hopefully it's not a bad thing.
After Verhel left, Lucy said to Aska, "Askar, you can already let me down." ”
"But ......"
"It's okay, I'm not as weak as you think." With that, Lucy jumped down.
This startled Askar, and he quickly reached out to pick up Lucy, but Lucy floated.
"Don't forget my superpowers." As she spoke, Lucy took out her beam sword and spun it with telekinesis.
At this moment, the beam sword was like a lawnmower, and wherever it passed, it was like shaving its head, and the vegetation was instantly cut off.
Looking at Lucy like this, Aska also sighed and said, "There's really no way to take you." ”
Since Lucy said so, then Askar has no choice, it is rare to change his body once, so let's use the greatest strength to deal with these plants!
A huge lightsaber appeared in Aska's hand, and with a bang, the trees fell in large chunks.
Seeing Aska's movements, the emperor smiled and said, "Very good, I can't lose to the little ghost!" ”
As he spoke, the emperor threw away his cloak, clenched his fists, and struck it in the air, and the ground in front of him instantly turned up, and the trees that grew on the ground were also uprooted.
A passage 100 meters long appeared in front of the emperor.
"I deserve to be the emperor, but I won't admit defeat." For some reason, Aska is more serious.
It's not just Aska, the boys are more serious, and it can only be said that no matter how old the boys are, they are all children who can't grow up.
However, this is also a good thing, and the speed of clear vegetation has increased significantly.
But the improvement is only temporary, and with the passage of time and the continuous deepening, the speed slowly decreases.
It's not that they're tired, it's just that the vegetation has become thicker and stronger.
Now, a random tree is half as tall as an ascar, and it is several times as solid as the periphery. Love Literature Network
Not only that, but poisonous plants have also begun to appear around, and they not only have to be careful of the venom, but also have to cut down such a thick and solid tree, and the speed will indeed drop a lot.
But the emperor didn't care so much, and continued to punch and row the trees, without any change in speed from beginning to end, and the same was true for Askar.
Now they have cleared about a hectare of jungle, which seems to be huge, but for the whole jungle, it is only a drop in the bucket.
To accomplish this mission, they would at least have to cut down ten times as many trees.
When it was time to march into the second hectare, the mecha fighters who had been rushing to the front suddenly ejected back, as if they had hit the thrown baseball back.
A deep pit was smashed directly into the ground, and the mech warrior struggled twice in the pit, and then completely stopped moving.
"It's ...... What's going on? "Such a powerful mecha soldier was destroyed so easily, which was beyond Lucy's expectations.
Although opening the way at the front is the most dangerous job, with the strength of a mech soldier, it shouldn't be so easy to defeat.
In response to Lucy's question, Verhel gave an answer: "Now we have advanced about 500 meters, and now the ground is still the ruins of the old city, and it is still the outer edge of the jungle. But this is different ahead, and if you move forward, it is a real jungle. ”
"What?!" After a long time, it turned out that they were still within the confines of the city, and they had not really stepped into the jungle from beginning to end.
"Is this the jungle? It seems to be several, if not dozens, more dangerous than I imagined. ”
Now that they understood that the edge of a jungle alone was so dangerous, it was almost impossible for them to cross it, let alone the ordinary citizens.
It's no wonder that citizens who live in cities can't leave the city for the rest of their lives.
It's not that they don't want to leave, it's that if they leave the city, there will be no room for them in this world.
But I finally came here, and I can't say I gave up.
No matter what lies ahead, they have to take a look, this is a very rare opportunity, and if they give up here, then it is estimated that there will never be such a good opportunity again.
The same is true of Gamma, who has always longed for freedom, and now that she finally has the opportunity to see the outside world, how can she just give up.
It's better to say that she is only now excited, and she has doubts about the orders of the elders before.
Now it seems that my vision is still too small, and my knowledge is still too little.
The outside world, though dangerous, is full of charm and is full of beautiful things.
This was what Gamma thought when he first left home.
But when I left the city, the idea was even stronger, leaving home and coming to the city is not really free, and the city is not really a beautiful place.
And here, although the environment is completely different from the city, it has two kinds of beauty from the city, and it is full of wildness and nature.
Both have their own charms, but they both have one thing in common, that is, without strength, you will never be able to experience this freedom.
Gamma wants to see, across this jungle, what else lies ahead of this jungle?
What is the end of true freedom?
Gamma, who was facing him like this, sped up his speed, directly threw off the people behind him, and rushed forward one by one.
Seeing Gamma who had broken away from the ranks, the emperor shouted, "Foolish! Do you want to die?! ”
"I'm going to chase her back!"
Just as Velhel was about to catch up, Lucy shouted, "Don't worry, that person is one of the president's guards, and the cannibal plant shouldn't be able to get up to her." ”
"Ignorance!" The emperor scolded.
Verhel also said: "You don't understand, this jungle is alive and at the same time a whole, what we are doing now is only helping the jungle to clean up its hair, if you want to go as deep as she does, it is like using a needle to pierce the flesh, the jungle will struggle violently!" ”
This description is very clear, even if it is the president's guard, they must not be slack.
Not to mention the means of responding to the enemy in this jungle, just after so many years of observation, they have also realized some things.
This jungle, I am afraid, has wisdom, and when facing a strong enemy, it can use all kinds of despicable methods to destroy this enemy.
That's what they're worried about now, even if it's the leader's guard, they won't be able to make enemies of the entire jungle.
However, when they caught up, they saw that the jungle trees were constantly moving from place to place.
"If she continues like this, she will be in danger, so I will go to support first."
After Verhel had given an explanation, he spread his wings and flew towards that position.
But at that moment, the trees in that direction suddenly disappeared, and a gap appeared in the jungle, and Gamma was standing in the middle of it.
After destroying the trees that were converging on her, Gamma continued in one direction, treating all trees as nothing, and devouring all vegetation that came close to her.
Without any obstruction, they marched all the way and soon disappeared from Vilhel's sight.
If he continued to move forward, it would be very dangerous for Verhel, and although he was ashamed, he could only give up.
