Chapter 22: The Best Defense Is Offense!

Originally, it was covered with vines and vines, and the road was long and narrow. Suddenly it expands into a deeper, more spacious space.

Rin didn't know how long she had been walking before she came to a place as deep as the ground.

It's just that the surrounding walls are crawling with fireflies of the kind that you see along the way, and they are not very big. While the whole space is illuminated by them, the dense visual sense makes people not want to look at it more.

And in the center of the bright light, there was a large tree with lush leaves. Countless vines spread under the thick rhizomes, stretching all the way outward.

A girl rests under a tree. The body is surrounded and entwined by vines. It seemed to be in a light sleep, but she couldn't catch the slightest breath of her being alive.

The scene that appeared in front of her made Rin Rin not only shocked, but also full of unsolvable doubts.

The strange weather, the teenager who appeared for some reason and hindered their investigation, and this secluded place comparable to the abyss.

Now the appearance of this girl makes it even more difficult for her to get a clue from these things.

Rin wanted to go back, but looking at the darkness behind her, she remembered how long it had taken for her to finally fall here, and she felt anxious.

She took a deep breath and cautiously stumbled forward a few times with one foot in her hands. But the vines crisscrossing the ground will be touched if you are not careful.

To make matters worse, the walls around her were almost covered with such a dangerous fluorescent light that she didn't even have a place to hold on, so it was even more difficult.

'Whoop ......'

She felt as if she had stepped on something.

When I looked down, it was one of the vines that had sprouted from the tree.

I thought that these vines should be withered, but the moment she landed, she realized that the touch was so soft, like a human ...... Arm.

"Ah——!!h

Rin let out an instinctive scream and fell to the ground.

But soon she realized that something was wrong, and quickly covered her mouth with both hands. I couldn't help but retreat backwards and took the initiative to distance myself.

And looking at the vine that she had just accidentally stepped on, it seemed to be trampled on at this moment, and after squirming and fluttering a few times, she swam back towards the root of the big tree.

Seeing what is happening in front of me, this mysterious scene. Rin Rin only felt that the blood in his whole body was shocked and reversed, and his hands and feet became cold at this moment.

She didn't know what was in front of her, but a voice in her head clearly warned her, 'It's dangerous here. ’

Rin Rin propped herself up, she only had one thought now, and that was to get out of this strange place as soon as possible.

But one of the vines suddenly stood up as if it had suddenly come to life, and stabbed towards Rin's location!

Rin quickly rolled to the side, but the stabbing vine pierced deep into the ground like a sharp blade.

Immediately after, other vines also sprung up.

Standing up at the height of half a human, he squirmed his body and attacked her one after another!

The stinging pain of the wounds on his body and the constant attacks in front of him seem to care about the high-intensity consumption of his physical energy, and his last strength.

The best defense is offense, and in a hurry, Rin only felt a little angry!

Do these guys treat her as a weak and bullying kitten!

"It's just some dead branches, don't go too far!"

As she spoke, she took off her coat casually and threw herself into the faintly glowing fireflies on the wall.

The dense fireflies were swept away by her clothes, and then quickly scattered towards the vines that were preparing for the next round of attacks.

The moment the tiny dots of light touched the vines, they ignited sparks.

The vines seemed to be burned by fire, but they writhed and writhed to no avail. Eventually, he fell to the ground with a 'snap' and completely lost his vitality.

At the same time, Rin was also shaking the remaining sparks on her clothes.

But the adsorption of this thing is too strong, and in the end, I can only watch the most clothes burned by it.

It really hurt her.

Not only did he secretly say in his heart, "This entrusted mission is really a big loss." ”

However, before she could breathe, the big tree in the depths of the clearing actually emitted a faint glow. Then I saw it start gurgling, sending something to the vines that had been burned to the ground.

In this scene, even if you think about it with your knees, you know what will happen next.

Sure enough, the vines in front of him soon performed a piece in front of Rinrin's eyes, what is called 'dead wood, and spring'.

At this time, Rin no longer had the heart to spend time with them, and her mood became more and more irritable.

The so-called thief captures the king first, she doesn't want to be underestimated by a herbaceous plant.

She dodged the attack first, and although her arm was cut with a wound, she didn't care.

Tear a strip from your shirt and tie it to the wound on your ankle. lest he lose too much blood before he was concentrated by the other party.

She gritted her teeth, ignoring the pain of the wound on her foot, summoned two long knives with her spiritual power, and rushed towards the single-celled plants that were beyond her own strength with both hands.

The long knife flashed with a cold glow, and the edge of the blade was even sharper.

She stepped on an oncoming vine and cut off the branch on her left with one hand. The long knife in the other hand was straight and straight at the moment, from the bottom to the top, and was about to attack from the chassis on a tree vine!

The thick vines pierced the ground, bursting out wisps of dark green viscous liquid.

Rin Rin pulled out his long blade, and slashed all the way with a sharp gaze, heading straight for the big tree in front of him.

The thin blade of the blade emitted a faint light like fine sand blown by the wind.

"Tsk, the staying power is still so poor." Rin muttered, she knew that her spiritual power was limited, and the knife was almost at the end of its use.

After slashing the last vine that came at her, she threw away the two long knives and replaced them with a few short blades, aimed at the roots of the tree, and threw them!

Three or four short blades sped out, but they were all blocked by the rough bark.

In normal times, she would have blown up a heavy cannon a long time ago, but now she really doesn't have so much physical and spiritual power to support her to do it.

After all, since she entered this forest, the continuous events have consumed too much for her.

The dense leaves at the top of the big tree swayed gently, and they looked around vigilantly, and there was no wind blowing at all at the moment, but the rustling sound between the leaves seemed to beckon something to come.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Rin subconsciously took two steps back, and even though she was sluggish, she could see that the tree was clearly resisting her approach.

As far as the eye could see, there were dead vines that she had cut off, and the main tree seemed to have no branches to control at the moment.

The ground was covered with a large amount of green slime due to the cutting of too many vines under his feet.

Rin Rin rubbed the soles of his shoes on the very few, slightly clean ground with a disgusted face, but he still felt dirty.

At this point, she was not very far from the tree. And the girl under the tree, only then did she really see her appearance clearly.

She seemed to have seen this face somewhere, and it was very familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

But just as she was about to leave, passing by the path she had just entered. But her eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the wine jar that she had carried all the way in before.

“…… It's her! Rin suddenly remembered where she had seen the girl under the tree.

I remembered the one hundred and eight layers of burning candles when she fell, the empty hollow compartments, and the flickering marquee in each compartment.

Isn't that girl the ...... in the marquee?

At this moment, Rin Rin couldn't help but feel a little chill in her back, as if something was staring at her behind her.

All kinds of things about the girl came to mind.

If that's true, then what is she, who is sleeping underground?

Yes, an alien spirit?

Just as she was thinking about it, Rin suddenly noticed that the green liquid that had been stepped on on the soles of her shoes had grown some tiny shoots around her shoes at this moment.

She turned her head sharply, only to see that on the ground, countless green plants began to grow wildly.

Even the fireflies on the walls became nourishment that they could devour.

And the most terrifying thing is that the girl who was sleeping quietly under the tree opened her eyes at some point......

The deep eyes were empty, just looking at Rinrin, and gradually burst into a light smile.

"Yes, did you find it?" The girl under the tree opened her mouth quietly, but she slowly stood up with her stiff body.

She just smiled, then raised her hand to look at her arm, and said, "This is really good, why, you have to bother me again and again!" ”

Suddenly, her soft words turned into a growl.

The sprouts that were scattered and growing on the ground suddenly stood upright, like a sharpened dart, all of them stabbing towards Rinrin!

Rin Rin had nowhere to hide, so he casually picked up the wine jar on the ground and swept it, and there were a few crisp sounds of 'bells', and the sharp blades were partially blocked.

She dodged, gathered the little spiritual power left in her body and gathered her palm, and summoned a short wedge in the air. Almost without thinking, he took it out of the gathered spiritual magic.

Rather than having a sharp edge like a sword, this blade is more like a blunt weapon, blocking the speeding blades.

But she didn't have an advantage in such a war of attrition at all, and the sharp blades scratched her body were all trivial wounds.

Blood slowly flowed from her arms, waist, and thighs.

Rin felt her heart beat faster, and a feeling that her body was almost at a critical point rushed straight to her heart.

In the continuous dodging, Rin suddenly found that there were some cracks in the wine jar that he was temporarily using as a shield.

A dangerous thought flashed through her, but the current crisis did not allow her to think so much.

There was a faint pain from the contract mark on his body.

As a last resort, she wouldn't casually use the power of the contract spirit.

This is also the words that Xuan Yu told him at the beginning.

She didn't have time to care about it so much, she just clenched the wedge that was about to disappear in her hand.

Immediately, I saw her suddenly face the blades that came one by one, blocking what she could, and letting them cut through the skin if she couldn't.

When she was completely close to the girl under the tree, she threw the wine jar in her hand directly at her!

With a wave of her hand, a vine shattered the oncoming jar.

It's very cold, but suddenly a triumphant smile appeared.

Immediately, he threw the short hammer in his hand together!

The rich wine, the flying leaves, and Rin Rin gambled almost all of his spiritual powers. In an instant, the three forces fused together, detonating the entire space in an instant!
