GOR Chapter 670 Seeking Life Amid Death
A short while later, the puppet bodies arrived from the sky. One by one, they landed before Lei Hu.
After they landed, they all did the same thing. Reaching out with their right hands, each of them thrust their hand into their heart to pull out the core of the parasitic plant within them. After doing so, they abruptly fell down and returned to their original state of lifeless corpses.
The eleventh body fell. Before Lei Hu was a small mountain of corpses.
Regarding the amount of bodies before him, Lei Hu revealed a somewhat dissatisfied expression. However, he could no longer wait for more Irregularities to come.
Slowly shaking his head, Lei Hu then extended his right hand, inserting it into the topmost body.
Countless vine tendrils grew from his arm to wrap around the corpses. Next, a soft-looking plant sprouted upward. In the blink of an eye, the plant had grown into a gigantic tree-like woody vein.
After a few more seconds, a red-coloured flower bud appeared at the tip of the woody vein before slowly blooming.
The moment the flower bud bloomed, countless fine seeds the size of dust particles spread out in every direction.
…
Three figures walked hastily across a desert. The helicopter that was out of fuel had been kept back into the Storage Ring.
The desert they were in was unlike that in the outside world. There was no sun blazing above their heads. Even so, the sight of the endless yellow sands still made them feel anxious.
“Damn it, why didn’t we gather some of the snow waters in the snowfield instance dungeon earlier?” Qiao Qiao complained with a pouting expression.
Even now, they had yet to see Lei Hu. Thus, the most troubling matter for her now was the feeling of thirst.
“We do not have any containers to store the waters anyways. Just hang on for a bit.” Chen Xiaolian squeezed Qiao Qiao’s palm. “Maybe there will be water in the next instance dungeon.”
“All right…” Qiao Qiao forced herself to swallow her saliva and continued moving forward.
Bluesea had been the only one to continue walking with an impassive face. He took the lead and there had been no change in his pace since the beginning.
After taking around ten more steps, Bluesea suddenly jerked his head backward.
Chen Xiaolian’s heart gave a pound and he quickly followed suit to look backward. However, he could see nothing but an expanse of rolling yellow sands behind him.
The same was true for his life signature detector, no other life forms could be seen within its detection radius.
“What is it, Mr Bluesea?”
His hand holding the Sword in the Stone, Chen Xiaolian asked grimly.
“Something is not right.” Bluesea furrowed his brows as he looked into the distance. A moment later, he quickly shouted, “Run!”
Chen Xiaolian showed no hesitation. He immediately pulled Qiao Qiao by the hand and ran forward. As he ran, he looked back.
The detection function of the Bug Armour far exceeded that of his electronic life signature detector. Since Bluesea had noticed something amiss, it meant that there was a problem.
After running for a good two minutes, Chen Xiaolian finally saw it. Behind them, a green-coloured wave was gradually spreading forward.
They were clearly within an arid desert where not even water vapour existed. Yet, numerous woody vines were rapidly growing across the desert.
Judging by the way the woody vines were spreading out, they had originated from the Mount Olympus instance dungeon. They had begun from that point, where one woody vine after another grew up from the ground, rapidly reaching maturity. Then, a red-coloured flower bud appeared at the tip of each vine.
The flower petals bloomed and fell just as quickly. However, as they were falling, tiny seeds flew out from the flower as well. The seeds fell upon the surrounding sands before quickly transforming into another new woody vine. Again and again, the cycle repeated itself.
In the wake of the woody vines were green leaves and swaying flowers.
The rate at which the woody vines were spreading forward outpaced the rate at which the three of them were running. Thus, it did not take long before the vines were right behind them.
When the vines came close, Chen Xiaolian was able to get a clear view of the woody vines.
Although it was clearly a plant, the vine squirmed constantly. The surface of each woody vine was covered with spikes and a translucent layer of slime, which was also slowly moving.
After blooming and releasing its seeds, the flower petals quickly fell off. As for the woody vines, they quickly wriggled about.
“Does this guy have unlimited power? Just where did he get it coming from?”
Chen Xiaolian swore out hoarsely.
Undoubtedly, this was a skill from Lei Hu.
Even so… this was simply too outrageous.
Judging by the green expanse of woody vines behind them, it was clear that Lei Hu did not know where they had gone to. Thus, he had unleashed this indiscriminate form of attack, which spread out in a circle with him in the centre.
However… … although the Blackhawk helicopter had had to land due to insufficient fuel, it had still flown a distance of over half an hour before that. That was a distance of nearly 200 kilometres.
In other words…
This skill of Lei Hu had already covered a radius of 200 kilometres. It had continued on up until now without respite.
Just what was the limit of his power?
The woody vines quickly caught up to the three of them. The seeds fell upon the sands before them and quickly grew up into numerous vines covered in spikes and slime. The spiky vines wriggled, stopping them from advancing any further.
