Chapter 1796: Chapter 1533: Mysterious Space (2-in-1)_2

"Don’t panic!"

Su Ran quickly commanded the thunder bat to charge forward, directly activating the ultrasonic skill. He planned to use the stun attribute of the ultrasonic wave to control the tree spirit, hoping to rescue Banana in this way.

Unfortunately, the tree spirit wasn’t stunned. After being attacked, it showed anger, and seven or eight roots shot out from the mud, not attacking Su Ran, but striking Banana’s body instead.

"Puh."

A strange sound was heard, and Banana was directly pushed into the trunk of the tree spirit, disappearing from Su Ran’s sight.

"Oh no!"

Su Ran was shocked. He didn’t expect Banana to be unable to resist at all and just got eliminated like that... wait!

The system hadn’t sent a message about the teammate’s death, which meant Banana was still safe for now!

"Attack!"

Su Ran summoned the Iron-blood Sand Puppet to attack the tree spirit, but unfortunately, it was restricted by the mud, greatly reducing its mobility. Before Su Ran could launch an attack, several roots emerged from below him, attacking him like a whirlwind.

"Trying to catch me?"

Su Ran sidestepped three times in succession, distancing himself from the roots, and summoned the Sand Shield and Ice Shield for an increased defense. He was confident that even if ambushed, he could withstand it!

Of course, if attacked a second time, his life would be uncertain, since his health and defense base were too low, and this risk couldn’t occur to him!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Several fireballs were fired continuously by Su Ran, rushing towards these roots. He planned to use these fireballs to fend off the roots and alleviate the current disadvantage first!

By then, he would try a new move, letting the tree spirit taste the power of a Flame Meteor!

However.

Ideals are rich, reality is thin.

Before these fireballs could explode, they were swallowed by the roots. In an instant, the roots swelled, turning into long ropes that weaved into a giant net in the air, enclosing Su Ran inside. Immediately after, the roots retracted suddenly, slamming both the net and Su Ran into the trunk, leaving Su Ran in the same fate as Banana, swallowed into the tree spirit’s belly.

The whole process was like a flash of lightning, not allowing Su Ran any time to react. From the appearance of the giant net to its capture, it took less than two seconds—no ice shield or sand shield could take effect. Su Ran’s mind hadn’t even thought of a coping strategy before he was pulled into the trunk.

After absorbing both of them, the tree spirit reverted to its giant tree form, without any movement.

As for whether they could turn into excrement, it would depend on the tree spirit’s digestive ability...

"Thump!"

After being pulled into the trunk by the giant net, Su Ran experienced prolonged darkness and didn’t know how much time had passed, which made him both nervous and afraid, feeling as if he was being watched by death, sending chills down his spine.

He intended to summon a little zombie to enter a fusion state, to break the tree spirit’s seal, but unexpectedly, summoning was forbidden in this mysterious space, completely cutting off his hope of survival.

Fortunately, there was no immediate danger here, and his health hadn’t decreased, which was a minor relief amidst the bad luck.

"Could it be..."

After overcoming the initial fear, Su Ran’s mind became active, realizing this was an opportunity. No wonder the tree spirit was so abnormal; it turned out to be an entrance to a special space!

And this tree spirit was just a guardian selecting the fortunate ones.

Could it be...

That this had some connection with the ancient treasure map?

No, the coordinates are too far off to connect them, even forcibly wouldn’t work. Thus, he temporarily abandoned the idea of treasure hunting, intending to first explore and clarify this space!

In any case, as long as he had the treasure map in his hand, he could consider treasure hunting after the hunting activity was over, especially since almost no player comes to this marshland, alleviating the risk of others beating him to it.

Finally.

This state of Su Ran’s finally came to an end, and with a thud, he fell to the ground, regaining his freedom. Despite the pain in his hip, he immediately got up, attempting to ascertain his current location and whether there was any danger around. But to his disappointment, the darkness was so dense that he couldn’t see his hand in front of him, let alone scout the surroundings.

Helplessly, Su Ran took out the Elf Illusion Stone, transformed into elf mode, gaining ten minutes of night vision ability.

Indeed, with night vision ability, Su Ran’s visibility immediately improved greatly, and the entire space was lit as if countless incandescent lamps had been turned on, driving out all the dark elements, allowing him to take in the terrain completely.

"Is this... a marble floor?"

Su Ran found it extremely absurd that after sliding down from the tree spirit’s trunk, a marble floor appeared. Could things get any more ridiculous?

Thus, it wasn’t hard to guess this place was built by ancient people, potentially containing traps and mechanisms, which he had to guard against!

However, the corresponding benefits shouldn’t be lacking, at the very least ancient weapons or equipment. If he could get his hands on one superior item, it would mean wealth, and if he acquired an entire armory, it would significantly boost his territory’s financial power.

Of course, the system would likely not grant Su Ran this wish, considering he’s already emptied two armories. Letting him succeed again might cause the system great frustration!

"Where’s Banana?"

Su Ran didn’t see Banana in the surrounding terrain, and the system didn’t report Banana’s demise either, indicating that this guy landed in a different location. As long as he wasn’t dead, everything is negotiable.

He stubbornly opened the friend interface, sent a message to Banana, and only then confirmed the friend messages were blocked. The only way for them to meet again was sheer luck.

There was no recourse; the current situation was beyond his control. Unable to aid Banana, the only option was to save himself for a chance of escape, leaving Banana to his fate.

To maximize his odds of survival, Su Ran summoned all of his pets in a flurry, even bringing out the Darknight Thunder Dragon at his side.

However, he couldn’t summon the Ancient Toxic Flood Dragon, as the Ancient Relic was absorbing the poisonous mist expelled by the evil spirit, facilitating the flood dragon’s absorption and digestion, with no guarantee of promoting an evolution.

With so many pets around, Su Ran finally felt more grounded, confident enough to explore forwards. Even if he encountered danger, the pets could take the front, exemplifying the charm of a summoner; he could fight solo without any issue.

"Sharpening the axe won’t delay the cutting of firewood." After making ample preparations, Su Ran then led his pet team forward. As he journeyed on, he found three ground openings ahead, each with a semi-transparent protective shield in front of them. Stranger still, his night vision ability couldn’t see through this shield, signalling the end of the terrain.

The system’s intent was clear; these three ground openings were the players’ escape choices, with only a one-third chance of finding the true safe passage.

"If I use the little zombie’s unsealing ability, would it cause the system to crash?"

Su Ran felt a temptation to break the seal, and by merging with the little zombie, he could easily break through this shield. But doing so would break the rules set by the system, a confirmed bug that, if detected, could weaken the little zombie’s skill attributes!

"Forget it, better to follow the rules to avoid all potential troubles!"

Su Ran focused his attention on these three cave entrances, and a one-third probability made him hesitant to choose casually, fearing to plunge into a path of no return, creating trouble.

Just then, Wang Cai came rushing out, sniffed each cave entrance with its nose, then barked twice at the farthest right cave and turned to look at Su Ran, its dog face full of urgency.

"Wang Cai, at critical moments, I have to rely on you!"

Seeing Wang Cai’s unusual behavior, Su Ran no longer hesitated, leading his team to crawl into the far-right cave, embarking on a new round of exploration.
