Extraordinary North America: Where are the magical partners?

Chapter 251: The reverse world? The other world!
"call"

"No, I need to take a break."

Tony leaned against a mottled and worn billboard, panting heavily, and then raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. More than an hour had passed since their fierce battle with the fleshy tentacle monster.

They first trudged through a rugged rocky area, and then trekked across a vast giant farm.

At this moment, they were very close to the mountain that Winnie had mentioned before.

Looking at the destination that was about to be reached, everyone relaxed unconsciously, looking for a cleaner place to sit down, and continued to eat jelly to replenish their energy.

Tony's eyes fell on the little slime that was sitting comfortably on top of Rango's head, constantly spraying jelly cubes at them, and he couldn't help but tap the frame of his sunglasses lightly.

Strangely, Jarvis' scan results showed that the little slime was just an ordinary piece of jelly and no characteristics of any life form were detected.

But the other person's eyes and mouth are so real, it is undoubtedly a living little life.

Tony shook his head helplessly. There were too many phenomena in this world that could not be explained by science.

Whether it is the Minions in Rango's house or the slimes that are providing them with food at this moment, their existence is beyond the scope of science.

"Vinnie, smell Sharon's spot again."

At this moment, Rango had lost interest in fighting the overwhelming monsters that Quigmar had mentioned. Since the system did not identify these monsters as extraordinary creatures, it meant that no matter how many he killed, he would not be able to obtain a single bit of extraordinary energy.

This fight is in vain.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to rescue the girl named Sharon as soon as possible, then close the door to the reverse world, and then go to the Hotel Transylvania to explore and find out what other strange secrets there are in this world that he has not known about.

Here, Winnie, who was sitting comfortably on Rango's shoulder and biting the slime, heard it and brought the iPod close to her nose again and sniffed it.

“She seems to have woken up.”

Winnie closed her eyes and sniffed as she spoke, "She is sitting on the ground now, with her hands around her knees, her head buried between her legs, and she is looking down at the worms on the ground. Well, I think she must be hungry."

"So the position hasn't changed? Or is it staying where it is?"

Rango asked for confirmation, and when he saw Winnie nod affirmatively, he immediately perked up, clapped his hands, and called on everyone to continue on their journey.

According to Winnie's previous description, they were very close to Sharon. However, they still hadn't seen the mountain Winnie mentioned.

"GoGoGo!"

Rango patted everyone's shoulders and cheered them up. "After this matter is resolved, I will treat everyone to a big dinner. Oh, and you three too."

He pointed at the good friends Sharon had met outside who had collapsed on the ground and were exhausted and panting, and said seriously: "When you see your friend, if she doesn't want to come back, remember to say something nice to impress her."

"Nice words?" The three Lis looked at each other in confusion.

Seeing this, Rango explained helplessly: "Just tell her how much you miss her when you are out there, and ask her if she wants to live with you, study together, play together, and so on."

"Oh~" Li suddenly realized and nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Brother Rango, we will definitely convince Sharon to leave here together!"

"."

Looking at their confident expressions, Rango just shrugged noncommittally.

In fact, both he and Tony knew that once Sharon was rescued, she would most likely be under close surveillance. Even if she was allowed to return to normal society, someone would be assigned to monitor her 24 hours a day.

It’s not because the other party killed an entire research institute. To be fair, if Rango himself was imprisoned by a group of guys in white coats and doing human research for many years, he would also kill them all if he had the chance.

The main reason is that Sharon's ability to open the reverse world is a bit too outrageous. There are countless monsters in it, and it looks like hell.

God knows where this girl got such incredible mental strength.

After chatting for a while, everyone brushed off the dust and set off again.

It is worth mentioning that the three children, Lee, White and Anton, seemed to have a deep affection for Sharon. After resting for a while, they ignored the blisters on their feet and gritted their teeth to keep up.

Although they are young, their perseverance is truly admirable.

Even Quigmar, who had some opinions about them, couldn't help but look at them sideways.

Since they had easily dealt with the giant fleshy tentacle monster not long ago, everyone had increased their confidence and were not afraid of any monsters that might appear, so their pace was much faster than before.

And this was indeed the case. According to Winnie's sense of smell, there was almost no strange smell within a few hundred miles around them.

Tony guessed that because these monsters shared the same sense of touch as the Mind Flayer, after learning that the tentacle monster was no match for Rango and his friends, the Mind Flayer might not want to provoke them, so it issued evacuation instructions to the monsters around it that were preparing to besiege them.

This also resulted in them walking for an hour or two and only encountering one monster. Even the monster that Winnie mentioned not long ago that was rushing towards them from more than 200 kilometers away disappeared without a trace.

Time passed quickly as everyone was talking and laughing.

Soon, they were less than a kilometer away from where Winnie said Sharon was.

Winnie sniffed the iPod again, inhaled all of Sharon's scent, and threw it directly to Anton and the others behind her.

"Go forward for about 500 meters. When you see an abandoned residential area, turn left at the third intersection. You will see Sharon in 400 meters."

"."

Everyone nodded in agreement and continued to quicken their pace.

However, at this peaceful moment, the sky that was originally glowing red suddenly turned gloomy!
The space that was originally quite clear was now shrouded in a thick haze.

Everyone noticed something strange and looked up at the sky. The next second, expressions of disbelief and shock appeared on their faces.

"Wortfalk?!"

A giant spider of unimaginable size had quietly appeared above their heads!
The spider's body seemed boundless, with six claw-like legs on both sides of its body, each of which was several thousand meters high, astonishingly thick, and hundreds of meters wide.

The main part of it is completely hidden in the clouds, and only through the gaps in the clouds can one vaguely glimpse the terrifying figure that seems to come from the abyss!
"Don't you smell it, Vinnie?!"

Rango stared at the spider in the air with wide eyes. Even he had never seen such a huge creature before.

Upon hearing this, Winnie also showed a confused look. She scratched her head and said puzzledly: "I don't smell the smell of this thing at all. It seems to have appeared out of thin air!"

"It's the Mind Flayer!"

Quigmar looked solemn at this time, he slowly said: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the mountain that Winnie smelled before. No wonder we haven't seen the mountain, it turns out that this guy has been hiding in the clouds. I escaped from it last time, everyone be careful, this guy is not as easy to deal with as the tentacle monster just now!"

Rango frowned when he heard this. He looked at the giant monster above that suddenly appeared but did not attack.

Although he couldn't see the other party's eyes hidden above the clouds, Rango believed that the mind flayer must be observing them in secret.

Thinking of this, Rango winked at Mavis on his other shoulder, signaling her to take good care of Winnie and Li.

Then, without any hesitation, two scorching rays of light shot out from his eyes and fiercely blasted towards the sky!

Rango did not choose the six tentacles that were closer to him as his target, but instead went straight for the belly of the Mind Flayer, which he could not see but was obviously hidden above the clouds.

For his thermal vision, distance is not a problem. Unless the opponent's size is so large that it exceeds the travel distance of the speed of light, in his thermal vision, there is no difference between one meter and hundreds of millions of meters.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of everyone's expectation, a second later, no blood or organs were seen falling. Rango quickly withdrew his gaze and his expression became confused.

They could all see that the body of the Mind Flayer was above the clouds, but there was no feedback after the thermal vision was fired. Given the huge size of the Mind Flayer, this was obviously impossible.

Then Rango changed his target and fixed his eyes on the Mind Flayer's tentacles in the distance, which were countless times thicker than those of the Leviathan.

However, a scene that shocked everyone appeared - at the moment when the thermal vision was about to hit, its tentacles seemed to have self-awareness, and two holes suddenly appeared on the thick limbs, accurately avoiding the attack of Rango's thermal vision!

"Shit. What the hell is this?" Everyone was dumbfounded, with shock written all over their faces.

Tony is no longer hiding behind everyone. He touches his chest lightly. In an instant, nanorobots surge out from the reactor in his chest like a tide and quickly gather into a set of Iron Man armor!

He stretched out his arms and aimed his palms at the tentacles of the Mind Flayer in the distance. Two micro missiles whizzed out in an instant, cutting through the sky!
When the missile was about to hit the tentacles, the opponent seemed to try to repeat the same trick and instantly opened two holes on the tentacles in an attempt to avoid the impact of the missile.

But how could Tony's weapons be avoided so easily? When they were about to hit the opponent, these two remote-controlled missiles exploded instantly!

Rumble——!
Huge flames rose up!

A huge flame rose into the sky, ruthlessly devouring the huge tentacle, turning it into ashes in an instant!

Everyone looked at each other when they saw this, and they all saw the meaning of "that's it" in each other's eyes.

But in this moment of relaxation, a warning came from Tony's armor: "Be careful! This guy's body is not a physical entity!"

Rango was slightly stunned when he heard it, and before he had time to think about the meaning of the other party's words, the Mind Flayer that was originally standing above their heads suddenly dispersed, and its huge body instantly turned into countless tiny spores, like a dark cloud covering the sun, shrouding the surroundings in darkness!
Tony had no time to say anything. Two gun-barrel-like devices quickly extended from the armor's arms, spewing out blazing flames, trying to disperse the spores approaching them.

"So this guy's body is made up of countless spores of this kind?"

Rango was shocked as he looked at the spores flying all over the sky and dyeing the surroundings black. "This is too outrageous! If it is made up of spores, how can it support such a huge size?!"

"Without support, they just float, and it's the mind flayer's hive consciousness that holds them together!" Tony explained.

".Well, I should have brought Toothless along." Rango sighed helplessly. If they had Toothless's fire-breathing ability, they might have been able to deal with it easily, or at least break through quickly, but now.
His eyes shot out a hot gaze, but in this spore swarm that covered the sky, the two lasers were like fireflies and could not play any substantial role at all. They could not even slow down the speed of the approaching spores.

At this time, Thor rushed out waving Mjolnir. He jumped high, holding the hammer in one hand, swooped down from the air, and the hammer slammed heavily on the ground!

moment!

Silver snake dancing!

Countless thick electric currents spread out wildly in all directions with him as the center!

Those spore creatures that were about to float in front of the crowd were hit by the electric current and instantly turned into ashes and scattered all over the ground.

But the terrifying thing was that no matter how Thor used lightning and thunder, these spores seemed endless and kept besieging them.

In just a few breaths, they had already approached Rango and the others.

"Shet!"

Thor, who had been charging ahead, suddenly swore.

Once those spore colonies came into contact with his body, they clung to the surface of his skin like greedy leeches, mercilessly sucking the life force from his body.

Even Thor, a member of the Aesir, could not resist this plunder of vitality, let alone other ordinary people in the team.

Rango turned his head quickly and saw that except for a few children who were safe and sound in Mavis's time-stopping field, Quagma's body was covered with spores.

After these spores sucked his vitality, his skin began to turn gray and decayed.

Buzz—!
Rango unhesitatingly activated his thermal vision, accurately evaporating the spores on Quagma. Then, his eyes fell on Yumi, who was hiding beside Mavis and watching the outside world nervously.

The current situation is already very serious. The number of spores is simply incalculable. With their current means, it seems that they can't deal with it at all. If they want to escape unscathed, the only way is to jump into the Grimoire together and escape to the world of Black Robe or Marvel.

However, he was a little worried that this spore monster called the Mind Flayer had obviously been angered by them. If it found out that they had left, it would go directly through the gate to the reverse world and enter the outside world. Then, without any preparation, a large number of ordinary people would probably suffer.

Just as Rango was in a dilemma, a green figure suddenly jumped down from above his head.

Rango looked down and saw that the little slime, which they had always used as a backup food, was now facing the overwhelming swarm of black spores with its mouth puffed up high!
The next second, in his incredible gaze, the little slime trembled all over, and with a "Duang~" sound, its body suddenly expanded a whole circle!

Immediately afterwards, the sound of "Duang~Duang~" was heard continuously. Within just a few seconds, the small slime that was originally only the size of a palm had turned into a huge green jelly that was more than ten meters tall!

The big guy first blinked his little eyes in a silly and cute way as usual, then jumped up in the direction of Mavis and the others!

Bang!
When it fell, Mavis, Yumi, Winnie, Li and others had been taken into its body, and they were looking around curiously.

"Could it be."

Rango's eyes widened in surprise. Could this be the real reason why Dracula let the little slime go with them?

Have those old monsters already known about the existence of this "Mind Flayer" in the reverse world?

Rango didn't have time to think, as they were surrounded by dense spores. Just as their vision was about to be completely blocked, Rango shouted to Tony and the others, "Come to the slime! It can deal with these damn spores!"

After saying that, he flashed and appeared in front of Quigma.

At this moment, Quagma was waving his "light saber" and roaring in all directions. Although he was very aggressive, facing these tiny spores, his "light saber" seemed powerless, and his body was already covered with spores.

Rango grabbed Quagma's neck tightly, and with one neat move, threw him directly into the slime's arms.

As slight ripples spread out on the surface of the slime, Quigmar penetrated the green jelly coat and fell safely into the body of the slime.

Those black spores that were originally tightly attached to his skin seemed to have lost their strength and fell off his body one after another, falling on the surface of the jelly and being melted and absorbed in an instant.

Rango repeated the same trick and quickly came to Tony and Thor, throwing them one by one into the slime's broad body in the same way.

Finally, when he himself was about to be overwhelmed by the spore army, he leaped suddenly and sprinted into the slime's body.

"call"

At this moment, everyone seemed to have experienced a life-and-death ordeal. They lay on the soft and elastic layer of jelly, gasping for breath, their faces filled with gratitude for surviving the ordeal.

Interestingly, Rango originally thought that he and others would be trapped in this jelly like being trapped in amber, but after entering, he found that the inside of the slime's body was so spacious, like a huge green room.

They could clearly see the outside through the jelly surface, even though the outside was completely occupied by black spores.

These spore groups seemed to be full of fear of the slime and had no intention of approaching it. They just surrounded it in four circles, maintaining a subtle distance.

However, the slime blinked its little eyes and suddenly opened its mouth.

The next second, an invisible suction force emanated from its mouth, and those spores were sucked into the slime's stomach one after another as if pulled by an invisible force.

"Fake."

At this moment, everyone in his stomach couldn't help but shrink back when they saw this. If this guy ate all these robes, wouldn't they be in trouble too?

But to their surprise, the spores eaten by the slime did not appear in front of them, but seemed to be directly digested and nourished the slime's body.

Under their gaze, the slime's body continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye it became a huge green jelly a hundred meters tall.

“Yeah—!”

"Haha! I knew this little jelly was not simple!"

"You don't even need to tell me! Have you ever seen a jelly with eyes?!"

"Speak with some respect! What jelly? It's called slime!"

"."

Inside the slime's stomach, everyone who was originally a little panicked cheered excitedly.

They never imagined that in the end it was this seemingly insignificant little jelly that came to save them.

Time passed slowly, and just when Rango and the others thought that the slime would continue to expand and "eat" them all, the overwhelming swarm of black spores suddenly dissipated.

Just as inexplicably as they appeared, they also seemed extremely strange when they disappeared, as if they had disappeared from this world in an instant.

At this moment, the small slime that was originally only the size of a palm has grown into a giant. Its height has penetrated the clouds. It is unknown how many spores it has swallowed. Its body size is at least over a thousand meters.

When the danger outside was completely eliminated, Rango looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that it was safe, he took the first step, passed through the thick jelly layer of the slime, and returned to the outside world.

Afterwards, everyone followed his footsteps and left the Slime's arms.

“It’s really thrilling.”

Quigmar patted his chest lightly, his tone carrying a hint of fear. Just as he was about to continue speaking, his eyes suddenly locked onto a dead tree not far away.

"Rango! That girl is. Sharon?"

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, under the dead tree, there stood a little girl in a white shirt.

Her hair swayed gently in the wind and scattered on both sides of her cheeks, but her delicate facial features looked unusually pale due to the lack of blood.

But what was strange was that her eyes were closed, like a lifeless puppet.

"Yes, it's Sharon!"

Li, Anton and others behind her recognized her at a glance. They were so excited that they could not express it in words and almost couldn't wait to rush towards her.

Rango immediately stopped them upon seeing this. Although this was his first encounter with Sharon, the strange smell emanating from the girl made him feel very uneasy.

"Hey, Sharon?"

He hesitated for a moment, then shouted over there, "We are the companions called by Li, Anton and White to rescue you. Are you okay?"

The voice echoed in the empty field, but received no response.

Sharon's eyes were still closed, but she tilted her head slightly, as if listening to something.

Just as Rango was confused, Sharon's eyes suddenly opened!

At that moment, it seemed as if an invisible force changed the color of the entire world in an instant!
Everyone's eyes blurred, and the reverse world that was originally shrouded in blood red seemed to have been wiped by a huge eraser. The blood color quickly faded, and the environment also underwent earth-shaking changes.

When they looked again, they saw a dilapidated and deserted street in front of them. The surroundings were filled with gray colors, and tiny particles were floating in the sky like snow.

Rango raised his hand and touched it lightly, only to see that the particles instantly dyed his fingers black.

This is not snowflakes, but ashes after burning out
Then, a shrill alarm sounded from the depths of the town, breaking the dead silence of this gray world!
