Chapter 362 (1/2)

If it was still in the age of light, Chu Yunsheng might be scared to death by this type of monster. This was different from the terror of the insects. The terror of the insects lay only in its murderous appearance and its bloodthirsty nature.

However, a monster that had a plant body but a human head was constantly sending a chill down his spine. It was very creepy and eerie.

But he didn’t scream, nor did he have any other movements. After the initial shock, he didn’t know why, but he quickly calmed down.

His eyes became very sharp and fierce, he also began to glance around, looking for opportunities to either attack or escape. It was completely different than how he was before, which was dispirited, depressed, confused and lost.

In fact, this type of sudden change of his emotions had occurred more than once to him. Although it was both strange and conflicted, Chu Yunsheng didn’t seem to have noticed it at all.

The main stem of the strange human-headed plant had many big dark green leaves. It was half covered by its leaves which made it even creepier in the dark.

As he glanced around, he noticed that there were two human beings pulling the trailer forward at the front of the trailer, and some other human beings dressed in tattered clothes walking with the trailer to his right. There were also a few strange masked people holding strange yellow s.h.i.+elds and spears walking next to them. It seemed like they were escorting this group deeper into the woods that had many tall plants.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to have any conflict with them. He knew that he had pa.s.sed out earlier, but he didn’t want to join them or get into strange places.

But the strange human-headed plant had already noticed that he had woken up. A long root began to move towards him from the ground.

Chu Yunsheng didn’t have any energy he could use. However, the physical strength of his body, which was at the peak of Yuan Tian stage two, was still very powerful.

So he lightly hopped off the trailer to avoid the strange root that was crawling towards him with an unknown intention.

The human-headed plant was looking at Chu Yunsheng with surprise. However, Chu Yunsheng’s cold glare made it feel extremely uncomfortable.

At this time, two masked people ran out of the group of people next to the trailer while pointing their spears at Chu Yunsheng, and signaling him to join the group of people with tattered clothes.

‘Take their spear, get a weapon, then break out from this place.’ Chu Yunsheng stood there calmly and thought in his mind while waiting for the masked man to approach him even closer.

The human-headed plant looked at the group of people with tattered clothes and looked at Chu Yunsheng back and forth three times as if it had discovered something.

Chu Yunsheng did not care about what it had discovered. Just when he was about to initiate the attack, three people suddenly broke out of the group of people with tattered clothes. All of those three people were surrounded by fire energy, and they instantly lit up the entire area.

Two masked men that were about to approach Chu Yunsheng immediately turned around and charged toward those three people.

‘There is no better time than this moment to run away!’ Chu Yunsheng immediately ran towards the direction where the trailer came from by following the track on the ground.

Behind him, those three people already collided with six masked men. A fierce fight instantly broke out causing the other people to run around in panic.

After a series of rustling sounds, Chu Yunsheng felt that his legs were suddenly wrapped around by something, and he was not able to make one more step. Although his legs were stopped, his upper body was still moving forward because of inertia. The result was that he fell to the ground instantly.

“Ptui! Ptui!”

Chu Yunsheng spat out the soil in his mouth and turned around to check what happened. What he saw was that many roots had come out of the ground and wrapped his legs tightly. As he glanced further, he noticed that all other people that had been running around in panic earlier, were captured by those roots as well.

The three people that fire energy seemed to be restrained by the masked men. All their attacks were blocked and they were forced into a small circle.

It was at that moment, a dazzling golden light shot out from deep inside the woods. A short-haired woman who dressed in golden armour, soon appeared in the dazzling light. She was surrounded by the pure metal elemental energy, and the energy that surrounded her was shredding all the roots on the way as she dashed out of the deep forest.

Within a few seconds, she arrived at the masked men’s encirclement. She swiftly jumped up, threw her slender leg out to kick the masked man that was nearest to her while spinning her body in the air.

She was both fast and powerful. Her spin-kick instantly knocked away two masked men who couldn’t dodge her attack in time.

The rest of the masked men seemed to be scared of the woman. They all looked at each other, but no one dared to make one more step closer to her.

The face of the human-headed plant instantly twisted with anger, it began to wave its roots furiously, attempting to catch her.

Suddenly, a strange but pleasant noise arose in the dense woods.

The golden armor woman instantly knitted her brows and squinted her eyes to look at the dense woods. It seemed like she was worried about something.

In the next second, she suddenly ignored other people and pressed her hands together. A strange golden light instantly appeared in her hands, and as she opened her hands again and spread them out wide, A golden colored long spear slowly appeared in between her hands.

She grabbed the spear and jumped forward, in the bright dazzling light, no one knew how many times she had stabbed the spear, all they saw were the bright golden lights flas.h.i.+ng constantly.

When she landed on the ground, half of the human-headed plant’s roots were cut off and fell to the ground.

“Puff!”

She coldly stubbed the spear into the monster’s head and in the next moment, the monster’s head exploded in the golden light.

She then quickly pulled out the spear and swung it around to break the spears that were lunged towards her by the rest of four masked men who were rus.h.i.+ng to rescue the human-headed plant.
