The legend of Tiga

“It might not be a good situation!”

After a sleepless night, Nakajima Tsutomu, with big dark circles under his eyes, brought some very unlucky news early in the morning.

After his hard work all night, he finally found an active substance with the registration code name Sphia virus in the sample of the trash can monster, confirming that the trash can turned into a monster because of the existence of the Sphia virus.

This news can be said to be both good and bad.

Fortunately, this world still looks familiar, and it is not so crazy that even a trash can can become a spirit; the bad thing is that if a trash can can become a monster, what else can be spared?
well! ! !
A deep sigh and a long silence.

Everyone's silence made the atmosphere in the command room particularly depressing.

After a while, Xibi Gangsuke calmed down and said, "Wu, report this situation to the General Staff immediately. Everyone else should be alert and increase patrols. We must not let tragedy happen again."

Before Kihiko Tsunade could finish his words, an alarm-like sound rang in everyone's ears, making everyone instantly jump with fear. This alarm sound was extremely unlucky, as it meant something had happened.

As expected, Midorikawa Mai, who had just glanced at the information, turned around and said loudly: "Captain, a monster similar to a tree man appeared near Sukina Mountain and is heading towards the village next to it. Three villagers have been attacked."

"Two Swords Mountain? This name sounds so familiar." Yumimura murmured to himself, and then he said as if he had suddenly realized something: "Is it the mountain where the Sukina demon is buried?"

"Yes, the woods in that area are called the Forest of Death. People often lose their lives in it. The number of recorded cases alone is as high as a thousand." Midorikawa Mai has retrieved a lot of information. Apart from the Sukina demon, the other famous forest is the Forest of Death.

"set off!"

"understand!"

Although the distance was not far, in order to arrive quickly, the Super Victory Team chose to send out the Victory Eagle.

Following a command from Kibi Tsunade, the central lifting column slowly rose, and when it reached the highest position, the Victory Eagle had completed the pre-deployment inspection, and the Super Victory team members also entered the Victory Eagle through the elevator and escalator.

As the disc-shaped takeoff cabin opened, the main pilot, Yumimura Ryoichi, released the brakes. The Victory Condor, which was ready to take off, immediately soared into the sky like an arrow from a bow, exceeding the speed of sound in an instant, and flew rapidly towards the east with the sonic boom cloud dragged into a strip.

Although the Victory Eagle is on the way, it does not have to wait until it reaches the destination. The pre-combat intelligence gathering work has already begun before the deployment. It is a good opportunity to get a brief understanding of the opponent on the way to avoid fighting an unprepared battle.

"This is too much of a Western fantasy." Yukihei Kariya gave his evaluation the first time he saw the scene, that is, this 'tree man' is too consistent with the imagination of humans in film and television works.

It really is like the tree man in movies, TV shows and games at first sight. Except for the fact that the surname is not Zhou, other aspects cannot be said to be exactly the same, but it can be said to be very consistent with human aesthetics.

The tree roots are used as legs and the tree crowns are used as heads;

The branches and leaves are woven into hands, and the trunk is likened to a waist.

With this image and this look, anyone who sees it will say "tree man".

Therefore, even though they were at high altitudes, the members of the Super Victory Team were still able to distinguish the "tree man" from the lush greenery at a glance with their superb pilot-level strength.

"Oh my god, good. Good."

It took Yukihira Kariya a long time to think of what words to use to describe this "tree man". Although he was a very tree man, his thin and slender figure like a bamboo pole was truly an elongated Tom.

This, uh, this "tree man" is 4 to meters tall, but its chest diameter is only one meter, and it gets thinner as it goes up. This proportion may not seem like anything special at first glance, but if the same proportion is applied to a person, it would be equivalent to a -meter-tall man with a waist that is only half the width of an A paper. Isn't this weird?

"Why do I feel so top-heavy?" Yumimura Ryo was confused from the bottom of his heart.

The trash can monster last night and the tree man below today, both have very thin bodies, just like the inflatable dolls at the entrance of the shopping mall. They don’t need ropes to hold them up, and they will fall down if there is a gust of wind.

Such proportions are abnormal no matter how you look at them, but two monsters in a row look like this.

It's very difficult to stretch.

But no matter what, since it is a monster, it must be defeated.

"Prepare to attack!"

"understand!"

With the permission of Kihiko Tsunade, Yumimura Ryo immediately pushed the nose of the plane down and made the Victory Condor begin to dive, so that the halo of the head-up display would cover the "tree man" below.

After aiming was completed, the attack button was immediately pressed.

call out!
All aircraft attacked, and more than a dozen laser beams were fired from the barrels of the Victory Condor, hitting the "Tree Man". Fierce sparks exploded immediately, almost submerging the upper body of the "Tree Man".

With such a fierce attack, even a building would be blown into a sieve, not to mention a small tree, which would be instantly blown to pieces, if not crushed to pieces.

"Hit."

Yumimura Ryo was immediately delighted. Facing such a skinny 'tree man', the Victory Condor still achieved a 90% hit rate, even while diving at high speed. This showed how advanced the fighter jet was and how skilled the operator was.

After a wave of attacks ended, the Victory Eagle immediately pulled up, but at this moment, strange changes occurred in the forest.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Several vines sprang out from the dense bushes at an extremely fast speed, like a cannonball or a burst of lightning, and in the blink of an eye they reached a height of a hundred meters.

At such a fast speed, the impact force was naturally very strong. The branches and leaves blocking the front were immediately smashed into pieces and scattered. Before it began to fall, these vines had already reached the side of the Victory Eagle, which had its belly exposed downwards and had reduced its speed to the lowest due to the pull-up. Then, as expected, it entangled the Victory Eagle.

Three circles to the left and three circles to the right, and suddenly the Victory Eagle was entangled tightly. The Victory Eagle was also pulled from its original high-speed flight to being motionless. This is equivalent to a car driving at high speed suddenly braking, no matter what the car does, the people inside the car will inevitably be affected by inertia.

The members of the Super Victory team experienced the feeling of being thrown forward violently. If they were not protected by the aviation safety belts, they would definitely be thrown out and have a close contact with the front windshield, or simply smash the aviation steel glass and fly out to experience free fall.

Although I didn't fly, my body was still thrown forward violently due to the huge inertia, and the seat belt squeezed me so hard that it hurt. Especially my head, which was thrown forward with great force, and it seemed like my spine was about to be pulled out. It felt extremely bad, the kind that is awful.

But there was no time to wait for the discomfort to ease, because an ominous 'creaking' sound was heard from all directions. This sound was not unfamiliar. It was the sound of various parts struggling to hold on when the body was squeezed by a huge force.

Yumimura Ryo hurriedly increased the power output, trying to use the powerful thrust of the engine to break free from the restraints.

The number representing the power strength on the dashboard increased rapidly, pushing the Victory Condor forward, and the ominous sound also intensified, making people tremble with fear, hoping that the Victory Condor would disintegrate before they could break free. But fortunately, this did not happen, not because the body strength was strong enough, but because the thrust decreased.

The weakening was not just a little bit, but a drastic decline. Everyone sitting in the Victory Eagle could clearly feel that the vibration of the body was weakening.

"What's wrong?" Kihi Tsunosuke immediately turned his head and looked at Yumimura Yoshi. Wasn't he going to break through by force? Why didn't he step on the accelerator?
"The power is decreasing." Yumimura Ryoya was confused. She was still stepping on the accelerator and didn't relax. Why wasn't it rushing forward?

With doubt in his heart, he quickly glanced at the dashboard, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Captain, energy is leaking."

High-concentration energy replaced traditional fossil fuels as early as the Victory Flying Swallow period and became a new aviation propellant. At the same energy density, its volume is much smaller than traditional fossil fuels, which greatly enhances the endurance of fighter jets.

The Victory Condor, which uses a new power source, uses the new Max power system, which is enough to support several hours of continuous flight. But now, the energy is rapidly decreasing, so the first thing Yumimura Ryo thought of was a leak.

"No, it was absorbed." Kihiko Tsunade looked forward, causing Yumimura Ryoya to look over there.

I saw a vine wrapped around the nose of the plane, which was emitting light visible to the naked eye in the daytime and was flowing downwards like water.

This scene is not unfamiliar at all. You can tell at a glance that it is energy transmission.

The vines certainly don't have energy of such high purity, so the only source is naturally the Victory Eagle, whose energy reserves are rapidly decreasing.

“Absorb energy!!!”

Considering that the man-eating garbage can stopped moving after "digesting" last night, it is easy to judge what these vines are doing by absorbing energy.

"We must get out of here quickly." Kibi Tsunade looked around anxiously, trying to find a weak point in the vines. If he didn't break free quickly, he would be sucked dry by these vines.

"That thing is just a bait."

By now, everyone has realized that the "tree man" standing in the forest was most likely a bait to attract the Victory Eagle, and then the ambushing vines took the opportunity to rush out and capture the Victory Eagle.

A simple hunting trap, but very effective.

Because no one really expected that this thing could set traps.

But it is too late to act in hindsight at this moment.

The Victory Condor fell into the net and its energy was drained.

The trash can monster only needs to eat one to complete the transformation, and the energy on the Victory Eagle is more than that of a thousand people. If all of it is sucked away by the "vine monster", who knows what it will become.

He looked around again and again, but there was no way to escape. The vines were wrapped around him three times to the left and three times to the right, very tightly. If he could use all the power, he might be able to break free from the vines.

But the vines are most likely draining energy from the power reactor, leaving the engine without any energy to replenish, and naturally unable to obtain enough kinetic energy.

For now, I'm afraid there is only one way to go.

"Prepare to parachute and blow up the Victory Condor."

Everyone was shocked by what Kihiko Kosuke said.

"Captain, what did you say?"

"Blow up the Victory Condor. Why?"

It was Koda Toshiyuki who understood what Kibi Gosuke meant, and said in a heavy tone: "If we continue like this, the energy will be sucked out, and then we will crash. Instead of waiting to die and the energy being used by the monster, it is better to use this energy to blow up the monster together."

"But" Yumimura Ryo wanted to say something else, but swallowed the words back. If there were other ways, why would he take this path?

Time waits for no one, and a decision must be made as soon as possible. There is no time for hesitation or indecision.

"Yes, Captain!"

No matter how reluctant they were, they had to make a decision: to blow up the Victory Eagle. They would rather give it up than leave it to the vine monster.

But the Victory Eagle is not something that can be blown up at will. Due to its composite materials and multiple protections, it will not explode immediately even if attacked by a monster. At most, it will be damaged and catch fire.

Therefore, if one wants to detonate the Victory Eagle, one can only start from the power reactor, that is, use the power reactor as a fuse to detonate the internal energy, thus creating a hearty explosion.

As for the state of the Victory Condor combination, each of the three machines has its own power reactor, and due to their different shapes, the most suitable place to detonate is the overlapping point of Gamma and Beta.

"You guys jump out quickly. I'm going to detonate the power reactor."

As Kibi Tsunade spoke, he began to unbuckle his seat belt, raised his hand and used the emergency button to open the cockpit. He was obviously planning to walk to the power reactor from the outside and then detonate it.

This stretch of road was not long, only about 10 to 20 meters. On flat ground, a normal adult could cross it in a few seconds. But now it was a hundred meters high, with a smooth surface underfoot. If one was not careful, one would fall headfirst.

"Captain, let me do it." Gamma's pilot, Yukihira Kariya, immediately jumped in and said, "I'm closer, and..."

But before he could finish his words, a bright light flashed in the distant sky, and then in an instant it appeared in front of him and hit the vines that sprang out of the forest.

boom! boom! boom!
With a crisp cracking sound, the vines that were thicker than a human waist and tougher than a steel cable broke. The vines that were wrapped around the Condor of Victory on the upper part seemed to lose their strength and could no longer maintain their tight binding state. They slid down from the Condor of Victory, allowing the Condor of Victory to regain its freedom.

"The vines were broken."

Yumimura Ryo shouted in surprise, and immediately pulled the control stick and stepped on the rudder to make the Victory Eagle quickly move away from the dangerous forest.

While Kibi Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief, he also looked in the direction where the light came from, and saw a dot approaching quickly from afar.

"Diga!!!"

Although I couldn't see clearly, I could guess who it was. The only person who could come and help them out at this time was Tiga. (End of this chapter)
