Chapter 49: Revenge!
"Are you surprised to see me?" Rose stood behind me with a smile on her face.
"Oh my God! You almost scared my soul out. How did you get here? Weren't you still Essinger just now?"
"I thought you needed my help, so I found the nearest teleportation channel." Rose asked with a smile, "Aren't you happy to see me coming?"
"Of course not. I just thought... Oh, forget it, let's go down first. It's too unsafe to stand here!"
"ok."
I turned and walked forward, and Rose followed immediately. After only two steps, I suddenly turned around. The blade claw on my right arm popped out over a foot long with a clanking sound. I punched the woman behind me in the stomach. The blade claw went directly through her body and a long length came out from behind. I pressed her shoulder with my left hand and pushed hard. I suddenly lifted the blade claw upward and pulled it out. She fell on the steps and touched her pierced belly, then looked at me with surprise on her face. Her mouth opened and opened, but no words came out.
"Surprised, aren't you?" I smiled and looked at the woman lying on the ground. "Do you think I would even admit my wife was wrong?"
The image of the woman on the ground began to gradually change after I finished speaking, and soon turned into a humanoid monster. Although it looked roughly like a human, its appearance was really ugly and scary. At this time, it was constantly vomiting blood from its mouth, and it looked like it was about to die.
"You...!" The monster said with his last breath: "How did you see through it?"
"The rose smells like me, and I have werewolf blood. Do you think I can't smell your bloody smell? Next time, remember to take a shower before pretending to be someone else. It's best to sprinkle some perfume on it to cover your smell. Smell." After I finished speaking, I shook my hand vigorously and shook out the green blood beads on the blade and claws. The arm shook, and with a chirping sound, the blade claw automatically bounced back to its original position. He turned around and left coolly. No more locking up this guy who is about to expire.
I really didn't expect that there would be monsters that could disguise themselves as enemies. The enemy I met before disguised myself as one of my own and had only encountered it once in front of the magic mirror. I didn't expect that I would encounter another one. Now it seems that the situation on the red planet is far from simple as it seems. The creature just now does not have the characteristics of those creatures seen on the earth before. His skin is not gray like those creatures, but light green, and this guy's eyes are not very bright. Big, about the same size as a normal human being. I don't know if this kind of creature is special, or if there are some special secrets hidden on this planet, or if this kind of creature is the ruling class. And all that was seen on Earth before were their soldiers.
I thought as I walked, this underground world is really not that big. There are stone pillars supporting the zenith and some strange plants everywhere. Because they rely on luminous materials on the ground and the ceiling to grow, the plants here do not all grow upward, but some grow downward and upward. The upward-growing plants look like enlarged ferns, while the downward-growing plants are densely covered together, as if covering the ground with a thick carpet of plants.
In addition to plants, the creatures of this underground world are also strange. The monsters I encountered before seemed to be only a small part of the creatures here. Not far from here, we found a large number of small animals. Of course, there are some with larger heads, but relatively speaking they are relatively gentle species. However, almost all the animals here have no eyes, and most of them have strange light spots on their bodies, which seem to be able to glow by themselves. But I've never been able to figure out why a creature without eyes would emit light.
I wanted to catch a small animal and study it. Suddenly I found something approaching me. I lowered my head suddenly, and there was a thud on the plant in front of me. When I looked up, there was an arrow stuck in it. He turned around and saw only a patch of plants. Nothing.
I carefully reached out and pulled out the arrow stuck in the tree trunk in front of me. This is not an ordinary arrow, it does not have an arrowhead or tail in the ordinary sense. The entire arrow is a complete whole. Its head and shaft are a whole. Once the barbed head is 'shot' into an object, it is difficult to pull it out, and its tail is connected with a string of arrows like Something like a shuttlecock's hair is regarded as a balancing tail. Such things are simply natural arrows, with no trace of processing at all, and there is no need for them.
I looked around and no one seemed to be around, but the other party did attack me. I turned around and faced the direction where the arrow had just been shot. Then I tried to move a little sideways, but as soon as I moved, the petals of a flower in front suddenly opened, revealing the center full of arrows. I stopped immediately, and the flower remained open and stopped moving. I looked at the arrow in my hand, and then looked at the thing in the flower. It was clearly the same thing. It was the plant that attacked me for a long time, and the arrow looked very much like a lotus seed. It's just rather slender. The outer shell is just very hard.
This terrifying plant probably relies on something like a blow dart to spread its seeds. With such a short arrow, as long as it doesn't hit a vital point. It shouldn't be fatal right away. Before the animal dies, they will certainly run some distance with the arrow, the seed. When the animal dies, the seeds begin to grow in the animal's corpse, and even the nutrients are ready. There are many plants on the earth that rely on animals to spread their seeds, but this is the first time I have seen such a perverted one.
The damn ground is completely covered with plants, so I can't see below, but I guess there must be roots of this plant underground, and this thing should be sensitive to pressure and vibration, otherwise it wouldn't just attack me while moving. . In order to test the correctness of the idea, I opened the Fenglong space and got a set of junk equipment. I grabbed the junk helmet I got from somewhere and threw it lightly. The helmet flew more than three meters and fell to the ground. The moment the helmet landed, the beautiful flower immediately turned around like lightning. With a pop, a seed shot out. I only heard a sound, and the arrow-like seeds easily penetrated the helmet and stuck on it, as if the helmet was just made of ordinary wood.
I didn't expect this thing to be so accurate, so I simply took out another pile of garbage and threw it in all directions. I wanted to see how this thing would react if it hit multiple targets, preferably if it only hit one of them so I could run. Unexpectedly, just as those things landed, dozens of buds on the plant bloomed at the same time. Then it fired like dozens of small cannons at the same time, and everything I threw hit at least one seed.
Damn it, it seems this thing is not easy to handle! It seems that running is not an option, so it would be better to kill this thing. I raised my hand, and a whirlwind surrounded me. After the whirlwind passed, I was already in the form of a silver moon. Point the Sun Rod at the plant. "Fire Dragon Technique." With a loud dragon's roar, a red fire dragon composed of flames jumped out and hit the plant straight. Then a raging fire broke out in an instant.
When I saw the fire burning, I thought it was over. Unexpectedly, a strange sound suddenly came from the flames, and then I saw countless small rockets flying towards me. "Wow!" Puff, puff, puff... I was hit by more than thirty arrows in a row, and my whole body was just blown away by the power of the small arrows. He hit the big tree behind him hard and fell off. His body was still on fire. It was really fatal!
I jumped up angrily from the ground, and then the small arrow stuck in my body burned into a pile of ashes and fell to the ground. Those arrows didn't penetrate my armor at all. This was the first time I was hit after putting on the Oath Suit. I didn’t expect this suit to be soft armor. The arrows just felt like they were 'shooting' into my body, but in fact they were 'shooting' into the virtual space. This armor will collapse inward after being struck, thus acting as a buffer. However, generally if the armor collapses inward, it will injure the person wearing the armor, but the Oath Suit has its own hyperspace, and the armor collapses into hyperspace. I don't feel pressure.
I dusted myself off and looked around. I have burned out a large clearing in this underground forest, and smoke is rising everywhere. I turned around and continued moving deeper into the forest. I now had no goal. We must quickly find a teleportation space or capture a prisoner who can talk.
Just a few steps out of the flame area, I suddenly felt a violent vibration under my feet. I looked down and saw that the ground suddenly lifted up, and I quickly took a few steps back. The ground nearby turned up, and countless vines emerged from the ground. After the vine left the ground, it quickly rolled towards me, obviously not well-intentioned.
I thrust the staff into the ground. "Halo of the scorching sun." A bright white halo quickly spread along the ground, and all the vines were quickly burned to ashes. "Hmph! Several rotten trees also want to attack me!"
"Do you think these plants are not qualified to be your opponents?" The ground in front suddenly cracked. A huge drill emerged from the ground. After the big drill drilled out of the ground, it immediately bloomed like a flower. Under the gray outer skin were actually pink petals. After the outer skin opens, the petals also begin to unfold outward. When the big flower fully blooms, the person inside is finally revealed. This is a woman wearing green light armor, but her face is completely invisible. There is a helmet on her head, and her entire face is completely blocked by a green drop-shaped crystal mask, but she has a pretty good figure, especially the obvious abdominal muscles on her lower abdomen that are not covered by armor. , it looks very flexible at first glance. A woman of this stature is definitely a speed fighter. And if she uses weapons. In all likelihood, it will be a two-handed weapon. Increasing attack speed at all costs is the main attack characteristic of people like them. But they are unlucky when they meet me. I just took the absolute defensive route of restraining them. No matter how fast I don't break the defense, it is useless.
I stared at her for a long time. Then he raised the staff. "Solar Domain - Energy World." The surrounding temperature instantly began to rise rapidly. The plants that survived the previous two flames could not escape this catastrophe. Most of the plants were smoking, and even the ground began to gradually turn red. .
The woman opposite swung her hands, and with a crash, two long awls slipped out of the armor under her arms.
"Oh! Did you use a steel cone?"
The woman silently waved her hands, and with a crash, the two steel awls immediately scattered to the floor. This thing is actually not a steel cone, I just made a mistake. Only after spreading apart can we see that these are actually two whip swords, and they are four-edged swords. The eternal basic form is the whip sword, and I understand the characteristics of this weapon very well. The so-called whip sword is a weapon that can be unfolded into a whip or folded into a sword. Because the steel is flexible, it is very dangerous to use. This danger refers not only to the enemy, but also to oneself. If you don't play well, the enemy will cut himself off before he can cut it. As for the four-edged sword, it is actually about the same as an ordinary sword. It looks like the blades of two swords are rotated ninety degrees along the central axis of the sword body and mounted together. This kind of sword has more blades, so the cutting method is more special. It has no smooth sides and cannot cut too deeply into the enemy's body, otherwise it will be stuck by the other two blades and cannot be pulled out. However, this kind of blade is just right for the whip sword, because the whip sword has always been known for causing a lot of trauma to the enemy, and is known as one of the most cruel weapons. Beating the enemy until he is covered with bruises, and finally dying due to excessive blood loss and exhaustion of life, this is the characteristic of the whip sword. When unfolded, the four-edged whip sword is like a cross dart that slides through. There is no attack dead zone at all, and anyone who enters the attack range has to face its damage. Although the damage will not be too serious, it is just like the effect of the iron wire. It is a psychological barrier. You know that this thing will not kill you at once, but you will still become slow to react because of fear.
The woman whipped the whip sword twice on the ground. "Put away your heat! I'm not afraid of fire."
"Then what are you afraid of?"
"Haha!" The woman actually laughed. "What I'm afraid of is precisely what you don't know how to do."
"What? Don't you dare tell me?" I looked at the woman jokingly.
The other party seemed to be really stimulated by me, and immediately snorted: "So what if I tell you! I'm afraid of freezing magic. What can you, a flame mage, do to me?"
"It would have been easier if I had said no!" I clapped my hands and walked to the side, moved a stone and sat down. "Shuangxue, it's your turn to perform."
When Shuangxue walked out of the Fenglong space with a bone-chilling wind, the woman opposite was completely stunned. She looked at me. "You are despicable!"
"A war is never tiring of deceit! Winning is winning. Losing is losing. There is not much to talk about. Do you think it is an Olympic competition? Fighting is about strength, not rules. Okay, Shuangxue, help me freeze her. I will do it when I get back. Study of specimen slices. I didn’t expect people to grow from plants.”
"Hmph." The woman snorted disdainfully: "Although the freezing system can restrain my abilities, I'm not the type to be doomed when I encounter a frozen monster. Come here! Who loses and who wins is still a matter of debate! I am... ..." The woman suddenly fell down as she spoke, and Yeyue appeared behind her.
I snorted disdainfully. "Next time you fight with me, remember to watch your back." He walked over and lifted the woman up from the ground. Then I lifted her mask. "She looks pretty good, but she's a little stupid!"
"You're the one who's stupid." The woman suddenly opened her eyes, holding the cone in her right hand and thrusting it toward me, but she stopped halfway through the thrusting. She turned around in surprise and saw that her arm was actually stuck to a ball of white silk thread, and at the other end of the thread was a giant spider.
"You're stupid but you still don't admit it." I said to her: "There are so many of us, but you still want to trick me to death and sneak up on me. Do you think you are an assassin?"
"you……!"
"Forget about you and me, and now I will be your prisoner! Tell me where this place is first."
"Here? Of course it's the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts! You don't even know this. Are you from the earth?"
"How do you know I'm from Earth?"
"Are you serious?" The woman looked at me with a smile on her face, and I instantly understood what she meant. They have a red planet here. According to their understanding, saying that someone else is from the Earth is almost the same as saying that someone else is from Mars.
"Now that you know I'm from Earth, tell me how your geographical location is divided."
"Let me go and I'll tell you."
"You are a prisoner now and have no room for bargaining." I popped out the blade claw and put it on her neck. "Be honest with me."
I originally thought she would answer my question immediately, but she suddenly said: "I would rather die than surrender." After saying that, she actually took the initiative to move forward. I just felt a relay in my hand. Then the sharp claws opened a large gash on her neck, and green blood splashed all over me like a fountain. Her body immediately went limp.
I looked at the green blood on my body in surprise. Yeyue and the others were all dumbfounded. It was the first time I saw such a heroic and senseless creature, and she was a free creature. It would be fine if someone like a dead soldier of some organization or country wanted to express her ambition, but she is a free person, so there is no need to do this?
Although it is a pity, since he is dead, I have no other choice. If Rose was nearby, it could have been saved. There is nothing I can do now. Yeyue tested her pulse, but it turned out that it completely disappeared, and even her body began to decay rapidly, leaving only a human-shaped black mark on the ground. The armor on her body actually rotted with her. It seemed that it should be a part of her body, a specially evolved defensive material.
Taking back the familiars, I turned around and left, but not long after I left. There was a sudden commotion in the black area left behind by the woman's rotting corpse. A young seedling grew out of the ground, and then grew rapidly. In just a few minutes, it formed a huge garlic-shaped plant with a diameter of more than one meter. The outer skin of the plant peeled off quickly, revealing beautiful petals inside. When the huge flower fully bloomed, the woman just walked out of it.
"What a formidable enemy. Fortunately, I still have a life-saving trick, otherwise I would really be doomed!" The woman said to herself: "No, we can't just let this grudge go. Those who have bullied me must be punished. Pay the price."
The plant woman was venting her anger in the back, but I was completely unaware of it and was looking for a suitable target to take as a prisoner. It's really not easy to capture a prisoner in a place like this. The biggest trouble is the language barrier. The translation system cannot translate the languages of some creatures on this planet. For example, the woman in the plant just now is the first creature I have encountered on this planet that can communicate normally. Also, besides the language issue. There are also some problems with the creatures themselves. The creatures in this forest are all low-level creatures that cannot communicate. Occasionally, I can see those advanced creatures, but they all appear in groups, which is really difficult to attack. After walking for several hours, I could not find a suitable captive until I left this plant area. However, this issue should be resolved soon.
It’s so rare that there is a city in this damn place! Speaking of which, this place may not be called a city, but it may be called a biological gathering place. This place has no walls and no buildings in the usual sense. This place makes use of the stone pillars scattered all over the underground world. The stone pillars at this gathering point are relatively close together and are not very thick. The buildings I saw were half-hanging on these pillars. Densely packed like a bird's nest. I had only seen similar things in the dungeons of the Dark Temple in Europe before. The ones I saw at that time were actually the lairs of harpies, and the ones in front of me were obviously used by another kind of creature.
The creatures gathered near this city are very strange. If we follow the centaur naming rules, these things can be called centaurs. Their lower half contains the abdomen of a spider and six legs used for walking. Spiders all have eight legs, and they are no exception. In addition to the six walking legs, their upper bodies also have a pair of limbs. It's just that this pair of things is exactly the same as human hands. It should have completely lost its ability to walk. Moreover, their upper bodies are completely indistinguishable from humans, and even the facial features on their heads are very standard.
Because the distance is too far. Unable to observe by myself, I moved to a closer place and began to observe carefully. After observing for a while, I found that there were quite a few spider-men here, at least tens of thousands of them. Less than a hundred meters away from me was their market, where many Spidermen were doing business, and I could even hear their conversations. What's exciting is that I can actually understand it. It seems that communication is not a problem.
Just when I was thinking about good things, suddenly I felt there was danger behind me. Although he turned around in desperation, he was still pushed hard by the other party. I fell from my hiding place into the open air, and thousands of pairs of eyes all gathered over me. I was looking at the stone pillar where I had just hidden in surprise. The woman I had obviously killed was smiling at me there.
