340 Encounter with vines
Reappeared at the entrance of the tunnel, where Xi Chunzhi stood waiting for them.
"How?" Xi Chunzhi saw them appear and walked out of the shadows behind the trees.
There was almost no light in the tunnel, and she was suddenly exposed to a bright light, Tu Ran raised her arm to block her eyes, adjusting to the light, she turned sideways slightly, squinting in the direction where the manor was sitting.
Due to the obscuration of the trees, only the highest ceiling of the manor can be seen, and a circular metal plaque is hung, and a thank you is written in a special font in the center, which is glittering in the direct sunlight and difficult to look at directly.
This is the symbol of the Xie family, imprinted on all people and things related to the Xie family.
It was also imprinted on the woman who had disappeared like the wind.
Tu Ran retracted his gaze, his eyes drooped slightly, and he glanced at the ground under his feet, "It's done." ”
"Alright, let's get out of here." As he spoke, Xi Chun stepped forward to pull Tu Ran's hand.
Her recorder just appeared with the words "vine, run", and the recorder was specially configured for herself, because her ability "Seven Seconds" tends to see what happens in the future in an instant, and will forget it in 2 to 7 seconds, and she will carry a recorder with her to record what she sees at that moment.
She rarely saw the word "run" in the recorder, which was enough to show that the situation was not good.
She pulled Tu Ran with one hand, grabbed the sleeve of Huo's coat with the other, and ran away from the manor, but Tu Ran held her forearm and pushed back hard, and she and Huo deviated from the original trajectory at the same time.
At the moment they left.
A green plant suddenly jumped out from the ground, its body was thick, sharp and smooth, and the place that emerged was where Xi Chunzhi had originally stepped on.
If Tu Ran's movements were a little slower, there would be no surprise that Xi Chunzhi would be pierced by this vine.
Xi Chunzhi and Huo raised their heads at the same time, looking up at the vine that changed direction in mid-air and stabbed at them.
Fire had never seen such a plant that could move on its own, and it was so large that it had a great impact on her eyes.
Xi Chunzhi took the lead in letting go of Tu Ran and Huo who were holding his left and right hands, and the three of them dispersed at the moment when the vine stabbed over, the target of the vine was not concentrated, its body in mid-air hovered around, selected Tu Ran, and accelerated towards her.
Tu Ran stared at the vine, took out the laser gun out of thin air, aimed the muzzle at its root, and pressed the button with his index finger.
A ball of fireball smashed into the vine.
It spread to the entire vine in an instant, and before the vine could struggle, it turned into a cloud of black ash.
Tu Ran looked at Xi Chunzhi opposite.
She was retracting her right hand, and there was a ball of fire in her palm that was ready to ignite.
"Disgusting mollusk!" Xi Chunzhi looked at the ash on the ground with disgust, closed her palm, the flame was extinguished in her palm, and she patted the ash on her hand.
"Let's go."
The suffocating feeling that surrounded her did not disappear because of the death of this vine, but only intensified, she did not believe that a vine could allow her to record the word "run", and I am afraid that there is a greater danger waiting for them in the future.
"We can't go." The fire stared at the ground, and she saw that beneath the surface, countless vines were surging upward.
The ground was trembling, and the sound of "squirming" came from the depths of the ground, at first only Tu Ran could hear it, saving Xi Chunzhi, and now Xi Chunzhi and Huo also heard it.
Tu Ran launched an "instantaneous movement", and the remnants of his body shuttled between Huo and Xi Chunzhi, grabbed the arms of the two of them, and ran away from here with them.
In the Federation, air and soil pollution, water acidification, crowding, lack of land, trees and other green plants are rare, and dense forests like this can be built at a great cost, which can only be seen in the estates of chaebol families like the Xie family.
And the Xie family's manor here is built on a lush mountain.
At the foot of the mountain is the world of ordinary people.
Tu Ran led the two of them to run wildly on the way down the mountain, carrying the weight of two people, her speed was not as fast as before, but it was still far more than ordinary transportation.
Behind them, the thick vines followed closely, and new vines kept emerging from the ground, attacking them, Tu Ran and the two of them flexibly dodged left and right.
But there are too many vines, and every time they come out of the place is unpredictable, the moment Tu Ran stepped on a slightly raised ground, a vine was born, and Tu Ran and the three of them were directly thrown into the air.
The other vines took advantage of the opportunity, and the tips of the vines were spike-like, stabbing towards the three of them.
Tu Ran let go of the fire and Xi Chunzhi, stepped on a vine that was above her and stabbed towards her abdomen, and with the help of force, landed on the ground first.
Before Xi Chunzhi and the fire landed, Tu Ran waved his hand, and an invisible blade of light was thrown out, taking the height of her arm as the cutting plane, and all the things at this height were cut.
Space Cutting!
The vines that rushed out of the ground were all cut off at waist length, and the vines that were arrogantly waving in mid-air lost their support and fell limply towards the ground.
And in the neat incision of the root, the green juice continues to flow out.
Huo and Xi Chunzhi landed, dodging the severed limbs of the vines that kept falling in midair, and approached Tu Ran.
These vines are so regenerative that Tu Ran just cut them in the middle, and their root system is not damaged.
In the process of Xi Chunzhi and Huo approaching, the broken vines sprouted from the incision, and with the green sap as nourishment, they grew like crazy, and in the blink of an eye, they grew into new thick vines, and two or three vines even grew from one incision.
Not only did the number of vines not decrease, but increased, and new vines kept popping up from under the ground.
As far as the eye can see, the entire forest is almost covered with vines, denser than the original trees, and in some places, the vines even pull out the original trees.
A huge net woven by vines covered the sky and the sun, enveloping the three of them.
"It's not going to be done!" Xi Chunzhi threw several fireballs one after another, burning the vines that were close to them, and sparks and ashes flew all over the sky.
Tu Ran also used the laser gun to harvest batches of vines, and the laser gun that could only be used three or five times was used by her to create an endless effect of energy, and she would use the "Wheel of Time" every time she fired a laser to restore the energy to a full grid.
Fire is surrounded by Tu Ran and Xi Chunzhi in the center, and both of her abilities are support-type abilities that don't work against the vines.
"Fire, can your perspective see where their roots are?" Tu Ran once again regained his energy to full capacity and shouted.
The fire was fixed on the ground, its eyes piercing through the dirt and sand of the ground, and deeper down, a knot of flipped and rolling vines appeared before her eyes.
"There it is!"
Tu Ran immediately looked in that direction, where the vines were thicker and denser than where they were now, almost one next to each other.
"Can you dig the tunnels into their roots?"
Fire's gaze swept around the root system, her eyes aching, she endured it and looked at Tu Ran, "Yes, but our movement underground is limited, and if the vines attack us underground, it will be difficult for us to escape." ”
