It is impossible for the soldiers of the squad to spend such a long time investigating, and if they find the enemy and enter the battle, it is impossible not to attract the attention of others.The only possibility is that the team encountered some very powerful enemy - strong enough that none of them had the strength to fight back.

Just one or two gunshots will be immediately buried by distant gunshots, like bullet casings buried in the grass, and no one will pay attention.

But the color of blood is not deceiving.

The dark green long whip swung suddenly, and under one blow, the astonishing speed and strength cut off the large blades of grass like a sharp knife, and forcibly tore apart the falling rain curtain.

Because of the dust, Evenier sensed the attack one step earlier, turned back lightly to avoid the attack of the long whip, and jumped back.

In mid-air, she turned her gaze to the direction of the whip, but only saw a piece of tall grass and "dust".

Appears to be hiding.

Gunshots exploded in the rain, and the accompanying soldier fired.

36. Vines

A total of seven long whips attacked Efnir and the soldiers at the same time.

Efnir was keenly aware of the difference in the number of whips attacking himself and the soldiers. There were only two whips attacking him, while the rest attacked the soldiers standing behind him.

In general combat thinking, prioritizing the elimination of more threatening enemies is the key to victory.

It was clear that the other party considered the soldier to be more of a threat—whatever the reason for this judgment was, it was irrelevant.

The other party did not seem to be able to discern his identity as an agent.

That soldier was a well-trained warrior, the moment the whip suddenly appeared and Efnir jumped to avoid it, he immediately picked up the gun and pulled the trigger in the direction of the whip.

Gunshots roiled the air.

But obviously, his bullet didn't hit the target, and the long whip still flew towards him quickly.

People must be protected first.

Efnir withdrew his gaze, a silver light flickered in his hand, and a long spear emerged.

"Get out of the way!"

Efnir let out a soft drink, and the next second, he bent down to the ground and stood in front of the soldier. With a cold snort, the muscles on his back contracted, he pushed forward, his wrists turned over, sticking to the spear like a magnet, and then swept across with a sudden force.

With one blow, the air stirred violently, the wind pressure lifted the hood, and the silver hair fluttered like a starry sky.

The spear blade drew a crescent moon, and cut horizontally across the three long whips precisely.

The silver light was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and the sharp pointed light tore and shredded the long whip. At the same time, the tip of Efnir's spear swirled and stabbed horizontally, and then picked back, tightly entangled the remaining two long whips.

The sudden burst of impact made the soldier stagger. He looked at the back of the silver-haired girl in front of him in shock, gritted his teeth, raised the muzzle of the gun again, and aimed at the depths of the broken grass.

"leave here!"

Efnir stopped the soldier's plan to continue attacking in a deep voice, staring coldly at the end where the long whip disappeared.

"Tell Yanilas about the situation here, and I will leave this guy to me."

If the enemy was an apostle, a soldier with a gun would not be able to help in the battle here—the enemy was hiding in the dark, and the gun in the soldier's hand could not be aimed at the opponent at all. Instead, Evenier had to be distracted to protect him.

The soldier was clearly aware of this, and without hesitation, he immediately withdrew his weapon, took out the flare gun, and at the same time stepped back quickly, out of the range of the whip.

The footsteps behind him moved away quickly, and a signal flare rose in the air behind him. At the same time, as if to anger the other party, three long whips swung towards Evenier from all directions. At the same time, the long whips wrapped around Evenier's gun tightened quickly, and the three long whips were also wrapped around at the same time, locking the long gun tightly.

Evenier shifted his gaze to the dark green whip on the spear, and pursed his lips.

——The strange thing is that these so-called long whips are actually a kind of vine.

The vines are dark green in color, with a rough surface and countless knife-like thorns. If they are directly swung on the body, most people will be cut to pieces.

And under the stems and leaves, there are faint dark red very thin channels, like cut flesh tissue, and the weird skin-like color really makes it impossible to connect with the green plants in front of you, but it looks like some kind of poisoned leather rope.

Evenier had never seen this kind of vine.

Could it be that this is some kind of weapon?

-Agents are definitely not of the type that use plants as weapons.

Likewise, neither did the apostles.

Before he had time to think about it, a burst of force came from the barrel of the spear—for Efnir, this kind of force was not threatening, but if he tied up an ordinary person, he would immediately be clamped tightly like being entangled by a giant python.

The long whip was trying to drag Efnir, and at the same time, two vines whipped from the front.

The corners of Evenier's eyes narrowed slightly - at this time, as long as she withdraws her weapon and re-condenses, the layers of restrictions imposed by the vines on the spear will immediately become useless. Generally speaking, there is a short window period between the withdrawal of the order weapon and the figuration, but Avenier can achieve almost no gap.

But instead of doing that, she made another choice.

Efnir resisted the force from the spear, and a silver glow appeared on the soles of his feet. At the same time, he turned his wrist abruptly and turned his body sideways, avoiding the vines that were being swung.

——The "ladder" is not a substance, but a representation similar to a vector. It can ignore the scope of space and use the soles of the feet and legs as the fulcrum to lend the agent a strong jumping force, just like stepping on a ladder built in the air.

Evenier stared at the other end of the vine, tightened his arm muscles, and pulled back suddenly—with a stab, deep in the grass, a figure was dragged out by Avenier.Efnir gripped the spear tightly, stood up and jumped up, and at the same time turned the spear head again, pulling the figure, and then tightened the vine, violently smashing it down like pulling a skipping rope.

With a bang, the rain curtain was blown away, and a large amount of grass clippings and soil almost completely engulfed the figure.

The vines wrapped around Avenier's spear lost their strength at this moment, and Avenier's hand tightened the spear again, pulling the collapsed figure out of the sunken ground.

The spear disappeared, and when it reappeared, the tangled vines on it had fallen, and was stabbed out by Efnir's blow, directly piercing through the figure and nailing it into the haystack.

Efnir fell down, stepped on the spear, and at the same time drew a pistol from his waist, aiming at the figure.

"Surrender, or die."

The figure didn't answer, but suddenly rose from the grass and rushed towards Avenier.

At this time, Evenier finally saw the face of the man clearly.

——That is a "person made of plants".

In other words, a person with some kind of plant growing all over his body.

——It looks like a woman. The surface of that person's skin shows gray matter traces of alienation characteristics, and the rest of the body has been rotted on a large scale. However, there are also things like some kind of parasitic vines coming from her eyes and ears. Out of the mouth, nose and rotting flesh, wrapped around her body.

Her eyes had already been occupied by that weird plant, she must have no vision, but she rushed straight at Evenier.A thick vine rose from her back, while Efnir attacked from the front.

Efnir frowned deeply, threw out a shot, and cut off the vine directly, then took a step back, pierced the woman's abdomen with a shot, held her against her, and kept the distance between them at more than 1.5 meters.

"..."

The woman murmured hoarsely, as if her voice had been rotted, and Evenier couldn't hear clearly.

Now without the help of the vines, the woman could only waving her hands at Evenier with her teeth and claws.

Obviously futile.

Efnir leveled the spear, squinted her eyes slightly, pursed her lips, and took a step closer to sizing up the woman who was occupied by plants.

This woman... The clothes on her body are in tatters, and most of them have already been soaked in mud, but its original appearance can still be distinguished - the coat is a white professional uniform mostly used by doctors and researchers.

There was an unusual rancid smell in the air.

This smell is different from the smell of rotting corpses under the Sakai Monument.

37. Bloodroot

"Who are you? Can you speak?"

"..."

The woman didn't answer, but murmured softly.

"what are you saying?"

"..."

Efnir asked three times in a row, as if talking to a stone, but got no response, and the woman was still hoarse, speaking inaudiblely.

And... Evenier noticed a slight change—the phenomenon of "dust" floating is fading, and the woman's voice is getting softer and softer, as if it will disappear at any time, and even has lost the strength to move.

Efnir raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and withdrew his spear.

The woman slumped down like a lump of wet mud and fell to the ground, trembling from time to time.

At the same time, Evenier also noticed something strange on her back—the clothes behind her were torn, and old blood stains left on the clothes could be vaguely seen.

Efnir frowned slightly, raised his spear, and while guarding against the woman's attack, at the same time turned the woman who had fallen on the ground over with the spear.

Suddenly, a strange scene appeared in front of Evenier.

——There was a shockingly huge gap in the back of the woman, and even the ribs, muscles, and organs under her rotting flesh could be faintly seen. Just like the wound pierced by a spear, this wound did not bleed, nor was it completely grayed out.

The wound didn't seem to be scratched by some kind of sharp weapon, and there were no marks of hammering or puncture. The woman's chest also didn't have the same wound.

But the rolled carrion seemed to be telling Evenier: the wound appeared from the inside out.

What makes people feel chills is that a huge knot like a plant root is entangled in the opening of her body, wriggling with the hesitation of her body, and the swinging branch has already been cut off. , flowing dark red juice.

Evenier was sure, it was this weird tree root that had been attacking Evenier just now.

rather than the woman herself.

This plant-like parasite is like some kind of living parasitic vine, just looking at it makes people shudder.

"What the hell is this..."

The chill in the air rises from the bottom of the feet like the sea water pouring backwards, and rushes up the spine rapidly.

Evenier had never seen such a thing before, and it did not belong to eroding bodies, apostles, or angels, nor did it belong to any of the animals and plants that existed in this world.

Clutching the spear tightly in his palm, Evenier felt his palms sweating.

She frowned even tighter.

"Hey! Can you hear me!"

Eveniel tried to call the woman again, but this time the woman's voice was so weak that Aveniel could barely hear it.

She frowned, stared at the weird tree roots, and pondered for a moment.

There is no doubt that this woman is neither an agent nor an apostle. The woman seems to be the fodder for that weird vine, and she is dead no matter how you look at it.

In other words, this appearance "should" be dead.

But she still seems to be floating between humans and residues.

In any case, she still maintains the ability to move, and even attacks Avenier.

Looking at her action pattern and the large area of ​​gray matter on her skin, Evenier is more inclined to "residue".

But Evenier had never seen such residue.

Moreover, the residue is crazier than her, and her movements are more agile and powerful. If those weird vines are excluded, this woman is at best an ordinary person with some strength.

After contemplating for a moment, Evenier took a deep breath, raised his foot, stepped on the woman's body and picked up the spear at the same time, trying to push away the thick tree root behind the woman.

But the moment the tip of the gun touched the root of the tree, the root suddenly shrank inward. Efnir quickly pierced the root of the tree that was about to shrink into a woman's chest, trying to stir it up, but at this moment, the woman suddenly let out a stern roar and began to struggle violently.

But her strength could not escape from Avenier's control no matter what.

The woman's hoarse shout became more and more sharp. At this moment, Evenier finally heard the woman's repeated words clearly - "Kill me."

"What’s wrong with you!?"

"Kill me...kill me!"

"Hey!"

"Kill me...kill..."

Like a broken rubber band, after a few quick screams, the woman's voice quickly weakened again, and under Avnir's gaze, the woman just lay on the ground, motionless.

At this time, the roots growing behind her also fell silent.

Evenier watched this scene with shaken eyes.
