Chapter 235: Chapter 161 Plant vs. Monster_2

"Why is it watermelon, ice-frozen watermelon, cabbage, flaming peppers, corn butter, corn cannon!!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Plants fell from the sky, destruction came suddenly, and the camp was instantly turned into a mess.

After the frozen watermelons fell, they formed an area of ice, and the unlucky ones in this area were frozen into ice statues in an instant, then smashed into pieces by the falling plants.

Trees of flame erupted with a roar from various parts of the camp, their scorching heat and blazing light spreading in all directions. Any soldier touched by it couldn’t even scream and was directly burned to ashes.

The corn cannon was even more massive. Before it even hit the ground, countless kernels separated from the cob and spread out like a shower of destructive buds.

Each plump corn kernel was a bomb, and thousands of blazing lights shot into the sky, causing chaos and turning the camp into a sea of fire. Countless figures were torn apart in the explosions.

Immediately, the naked corn cob crashed to the ground.

The deafening roar and terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, leaving a blackened crater with a diameter of tens of meters on the ground.

Zhou Yuan personally saw a level-71 minotaur fail to dodge and attempt to resist the explosion of the corn cob, only to turn to ashes in a second.

Countless plant attacks rained down on the high tower, and even with the barrier’s protection, the tower shook violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Finally, the air raid stopped.

Zhou Yuan looked down. The vast military camp had disappeared, replaced by scorched earth dotted with craters from explosions. The few soldiers who could still move were very rare.

"These damned plants have evolved skills like this!" The rabbit-headed officer’s eyes were bloodshot. After this wave of air raids, the army’s losses were enormous, with nearly everyone dead or injured!

"Hali, it seems this time we’re in dire straits."

Saba’s face was grave, but even after witnessing the power of the sacred plants, she showed no signs of retreat.

Zhou Yuan put on a righteous look: "No matter how dangerous it is, we have to go. This is for the Demon King!"

Saba nodded, "Very well, let’s go in. First, we’ll collect some plant samples from the perimeter."

[Fake, that old geezer is afraid you’ll seize power in the future, so he wants to use this opportunity to kill you.]

Zhou Yuan sneered inside. Even without the Eyes of Identification, she could guess that the old thing had no good intentions coming to find her.

Since that was the case, she’d turn the tables, kill the old geezer in the plant forest, then slip away.

Hmm... just unsure if the planar escape device could be used inside the plant forest.

·

Crossing the firewall, Zhou Yuan, Saba, and six brought beastmen soldiers officially stepped into the sacred plant forest.

Upon entering the forest, Zhou Yuan tried to activate the planar escape device, but it was still unusable. The message that popped up was exactly the same as before.

It seemed she could only start the device after leaving this map section.

"Uh... I feel awful..."

A ram-headed soldier showed obvious discomfort, and moments later, he vomited.

"The Holy Light concentration here is too high. For us, it’s like walking in poison." Saba handed out bottles of magic potion, "This potion can help us temporarily resist the Holy Light’s erosion."

[The potion contains an attractant for plants, making you more susceptible to their attacks after drinking it.]

Zhou Yuan knew the old thing had bad intentions, so she refused the potion Saba handed over, taking out her own bottle: "Teacher, I brewed a potion with the same effect earlier. I’ll drink this one first."

"That works." Saba withdrew her potion without changing her expression.

After walking about two hundred meters, the number of sacred plants increased, and the group faced their first attack.

Countless vines glowing with Holy Light sprang from the ground. One beastman soldier at the front was the first unlucky one, bound all over by the vines and strangled on the spot.

The other soldiers hurriedly swung their weapons, cutting off all the attacking vines. The battle lasted five or six minutes before the vines stopped emerging.

"Not bad, though we lost one, we got these vines, should be enough, right?" A soldier panted and looked at Saba. The ground was covered with fresh vine samples.

"Just vines aren’t enough; it’s best to collect more. Let’s go further in." Saba said solemnly.

Reluctantly, the group continued forward.

As they walked, Saba’s eyes gradually turned sinister. Such a golden opportunity, she had to find a way to kill Halizhente.

This student, though loyal, would undoubtedly challenge her position in the future. If it weren’t for the chance to kill, she wouldn’t usually have this thought and would maintain her good teacher persona.

But such an environment... was the perfect place for murder and destruction of evidence. How could Saba not be tempted?

Saba turned to see Zhou Yuan looking around, but she wasn’t looking at the surrounding plants. Instead, she was... looking further at the high tower.

"Hali, what are you looking at?" Saba frowned, feeling a faint sense of unease and anxiety.

"Checking if the high tower can see us here."

Zhou Yuan replied, "It seems it can’t."

The next moment, she swung a punch at Saba’s head.

At that moment, Saba’s eyes were filled with panic and fear, but she couldn’t make any defense, only watching the fist come at her.

Bang!

Saba’s head burst like a watermelon, splattering scarlet blood in all directions.

The soldiers in front heard the noise and turned around, but before they could react, sticky dark tentacles emerged from their shadows, binding them tightly and dragging them into the mire bit by bit.

Ten seconds later, only Zhou Yuan remained at the scene.

She clapped her hands, finished.

Now it was time to run.

But in this place filled with Holy Light, it was best not to use Shadow System skills. Nor could she fly; these plants had throwing skills, and if she got shot down, she’d have to run to Hell for a resurrection match...

So running with her legs was the only option.

Zhou Yuan removed her disguise, activated her Protective Gang Qi, and suppressed her aura and life fluctuations to the lowest level. Then she turned into a sharp arrow, shooting into the depths of the forest.

Now that she had reached level 82, her movement speed as a martial artist was astonishing. With full speed, she expected to leave the sacred forest in less than two minutes.

But reality was reality, and Zhou Yuan encountered unexpected trouble.

The plants keenly sensed this intruding outsider and launched a chase and blockage. The entire forest came alive, and no matter how fast Zhou Yuan was, there was always an attack waiting ahead.

It was as if an invisible net connected all the plants, updating her position in real-time.

With her keen perception, Zhou Yuan could clearly sense the plants communicating with each other.

Communication... Zhou Yuan thought of a gadget.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a while, Zhou Yuan dashed out from the bombardment, covered in dirt. Ahead, a giant cabbage blocked her path.

This cabbage had human facial features, using two leaves as arms, clenched into fists at the front.

"Whoa, Cai Wen!"

Zhou Yuan was astonished, and at that moment, Mr Cai punched her, the air cracking and the mighty wind howling.

She dodged the punch, feeling a thunderclap by her ear, then twisted and turned, evading the subsequent rapid punches.

At her collar, the bow tie voice changer finally completed the audio collection, capturing the sound used by the plants for communication.

"Stop, friend!"

Zhou Yuan hurriedly shouted through the voice changer.

Cai Wen’s attack momentarily halted, one big eye glaring in surprise, eyebrows raised.
