Chapter 15: The Lair of the Mountain Stream I
Fye and Ayana were at the front, followed by the rest of the group, including Avi and Van and the Marcus brothers, Leonard and Patrick. The eight of them had already secured their weapons in their hands, and with AYANA leading the way, they were hurrying forward, approaching the nest in the mountain stream.
Everyone was nervous, but Ayana said that even if she walked forward at the current speed, it would take twenty minutes to get there. Because of the twenty-minute journey, everyone's mood has become relatively relaxed, and their breathing has become more stable, and even Matthews, who was originally angry, was able to return to his normal state.
Fei De knew that this state was the best, because due to the impact of the night attack just now, the potato mercenary group, which was not united, became even more discouraged, and in such a situation, if they had to go to the nest of those green stem plants, they might suffer a lot of casualties. Several of those green-stemmed plants had been eliminated, but there must have been more difficult and dangerous situations in their nests than before. But Fed was ready, and this time he decided not to let his men rush to the front.
After a long way forward, Ayana also slowed everyone down, although she had told everyone that once she approached the lair, it would definitely attract the mature ones, and there was no way for anyone else to hide their whereabouts except her, so they had to be prepared to be attacked.
The closer they got to the lair, the more they watched their feet, and everyone feared that blood-red cones would suddenly burst out of the ground and attack them.
However, what they feared did not happen, and everyone trotted all the way down to the mountain ravine that Ayana had mentioned. They looked into the nest from a high place, and saw no sign of green-stemmed plants except for a very small larvae lying on the ground.
"Could it be that you're mistaken? Why is there only one?" Big-nosed Fan looked around, and saw that the location was quite precipitous.
"No, this is it," Ayana replied, cautiously observing the lair, "It stands to reason that our arrival in this position should attract the attention of those mature individuals, why is it so quiet?"
Fidel also sensed a hint of a strange atmosphere, but they were already here, and they must not return in vain. He took the lead in the direction of the mountain ravine's nest, and walked not far from the hatchling. Even at such a close distance, the hatchling did not move, which made everyone wonder.
Ayana picked up the short wooden bow and shot an arrow at the hatchling with great speed, but the arrow did not move as it passed through the hatchling's body, as if it were just a piece of furniture.
"There's a problem!" Ayana looked around warily, and she suddenly realized that the hatchlings were just a decoy to lure them in.
Sure enough, there were strange vibrations from all over behind them, and something could be seen moving rapidly in their direction underneath the dirt.
Fan's reaction was the quickest, he jumped to the left, and the ejection iron gun in his hand was ejected directly at the moving green stem plant. The target was in front of the greenstem plant moving in the dirt, and when the tip of the spear plunged into the dirt, it splattered a viscous crimson liquid for a split second, and the fast-moving thing stopped immediately.
When a mature green-stemmed plant was about to emerge from the ground, Feder swept it with his two-handed slashing sword, cutting off the blood-red spike that had just emerged. In fact, after the previous battle, Fei De has learned the attack method of these green stem plants, they are mainly based on quick sneak attacks, but when they encounter an attack, they will immediately use a fast speed to dodge the attack, although they have a fairly tough skin, but when they encounter powerful weapons, they will still be cut through, and those parts in the dirt do not have much wisdom, where their flaws lie.
The Marcus brothers' side also worked together to eliminate a green-stemmed plant, while Leonard and Patrick faced each other, but both green-stemmed plants had just escaped, and their wounded epidermis was clearly fragile.
As soon as Fidel had finished the green-stemmed plant he was trying to get out of the hole, he immediately noticed that another green-stemmed plant was staring at his back from a tree. Just as the green-stemmed plant was about to leap down like it had killed Bowen, Fid on this side fell backwards, and the enchanted sword in his hand clenched his hands in front of his chest and slashed at the back of his head. The green-stemmed plant couldn't contain its speed at all, and slammed directly into Fidel's blade, its blood-red tip sliced in half in an instant.
Those green-stemmed plants appeared together at the same time, and they seemed to have strict organizational commands, attacking each mercenary of the potato mercenary group separately, but they were unable to solve their opponents alone, but were solved by the mercenaries one by one.
There were no enemies on Avina's side, and just as he was about to go over to help Squad Leader Leonard, a green-stemmed plant suddenly popped out from behind him. Avi jerked his head back, and he was stunned by what he saw. The blood-red spike of the greenstem plant pierced through Bowen's corpse, as if it had pierced the entire human body with a spear, and the blood of Bowen's corpse was constantly flowing down, absorbed by the core of the greenstem plant, and the part of the cone was also the arrow that Ayana had shot earlier.
The skin of the green-stemmed plant slowly unfolded, and the blood-red core grew thicker and thicker, like a bloodshot finger, except that it was already stabbing at Avi's body.
Ayana's arrows had already arrived, and three arrows in a row had hit the core's body, and some blood flowed out of the core's body, but that didn't stop the cone from thrusting forward.
At that moment, Feder swept up the slope from the bottom to the top with a "silence" like a stick, slicing the blood-red cone of the green-stemmed plant through the middle, and cut Bowen's corpse in half until the tail. The green-stemmed plant that had been cut in half and Bowen's body fell to Avi's body as he fell to the ground, and a lot of crimson liquid splashed on Avi's body and face, blurring his vision for a moment.
As soon as the others had eliminated all the mature bodies, Patrick and Marcus immediately carried Avi to a place with a clean water source and washed all the viscous liquids off his body. Avi didn't say a word during the process, and the liquid didn't seem to cause any harm to the human body other than being nauseous.
"Are you alright?" Fan put the iron gun back on his back, he saw that the dirty Avi was soaked and washed by everyone, and he didn't want to touch the other party.
Avi froze for a moment, then looked at Fan and said, "I just heard Bowen's voice, and he told me where the hatchlings were hiding. ”
