"These vines seem to be getting less and less here. (Due to caching reasons, please visit the browser directly.\nCOM website to watch the fastest chapter updates)"
Feiya shined a flashlight on the inside of the passage.
There are still many vines on the inside of this corridor, covering the walls and floors, but compared to the number of vines in the elevator room before, there are indeed much fewer.
"These vines seem to be extended from one 'main vine'."
Feiya raised the flashlight in her hand and followed the vine with a relatively clear vein, gradually finding an extra thick vine attached to the top of the corridor.
You can vaguely see branches extending from this main vine, and then spreading to other places in the corridor.
He Ao also looked at the vine, then he turned on his flashlight and shined the flashlight backwards. In the dark corridor, the veins of the main vine could be vaguely seen.
It does not extend from the elevator room, but directly extends from the corridor on the other side, that is, the corridor leading to the main space of the second floor, without any detours.
"This main vine may be the oldest vine among the vines around here."
He looked at the vine and said thoughtfully.
He walked all the way from the first floor. The vines on the ground grew very randomly, basically growing towards places where there were no vines. Only this main vine showed an obvious purpose.
Feiya also looked at the vine, thoughtfully.
The two continued to move forward. At this moment, they had walked more than half way along the corridor, and a half-open gate appeared in front of them illuminated by the flashlight.
"Wait a moment."
At this moment, He Ao suddenly spoke and stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Feiya was stunned and stopped.
At this moment, He Ao suddenly raised the bone sword in his hand and thrust the sword behind Feiya.
boom-
With a crisp sound, the sword blade blocked the fangs sprouting from the void.
Feiya immediately turned around and shined the flashlight behind her. A green python vaguely appeared in outline in the pitch black darkness.
The giant python looked like it couldn't hit it, and showed no signs of fighting. It just opened its mouth and retreated, its entire figure blending into the darkness.
"Disappeared?"
Feiya was stunned.
"Some kind of invisibility."
He Ao put the flashlight on his shoulder, held the sword in both hands, and silently stared at the dark night.
This giant python itself is not very strong, it can only surpass the C-level limit, but this ability to blend into the darkness and become invisible reminds He Ao of the Night Walker.
"Can you influence its actions?"
He Ao turned his back to Feiya and asked in a low voice.
"No," Feiya shook her head, "I 'can't see' it, and it may be a pure living thing with no machinery in its body."
In other words, if there is a mechanical impure creature in the body, do you need to see it in order to have an influence?
In combat, this ability doesn't seem to be that useful.
"Be careful of the vines on the ground."
He Ao gave Feiya a look, and the two began to retreat slowly.
The giant python is huge. Since it can move among these vines, it must have formed some kind of 'symbiotic' relationship with the vines. It can touch the vines without being attacked by them.
In other words, the vine is not safe, and the snake may be hiding under a vine leaf.
This sentence not only reminds Feiya to be careful not to step on the vines, but also reminds her to be careful of the threats posed by the vines.
Feiya quickly understood He Ao's reminder and nodded lightly.
The two of them slowly retreated, and everything seemed to have returned to silence.
After the giant python failed to succeed, it sneaked into the darkness again, seemingly looking for an opportunity again.
Just like that, the two of them took two steps back. During the whole process, He Ao's attention was entirely on Feiya.
The giant python can obviously tell the strength of the two, so it attacks Feiya first, who seems to be weaker and easier to break through.
At this time, the two of them were actually only a dozen steps away from the gate.
"There don't seem to be any vines behind the gate."
Feiya turned around and shined a flashlight on the gate, and whispered.
If this giant python is really a creature that lives in symbiosis with vines, it should leave its living range if it leaves the growing area of vines.
After passing the gate, it should be safe.
"Turn around and go over first."
He Ao lowered his voice and signaled Feiya to turn around first and pass through the gate.
Feiya glanced at He Ao and nodded gently, "Okay."
He Ao turned sideways slightly, his entire attention seemed to be on Feiya.
At this moment, a green phantom appeared behind him and bit hard at the back of his right shoulder.
Feiya saw this phantom. She opened her mouth and was about to remind He Ao, but before her voice came out of her throat, the white sword light cut through the darkness under the illumination of the flashlight.
The huge snake head was cut off by a sword at this moment. The yellow vertical boy on the snake's head stared roundly, and flew into the darkness with an unbelievable human expression.
At this time, He Ao had already sheathed his sword and turned his back, taking half a step back to avoid the splash of blood.
Feiya blinked her eyes. Although she already knew He Ao's brain and strength, it seemed that He Ao refreshed her knowledge every time. She stared blankly at the green giant on the ground.
Python corpse, "Did you predict its actions? How did you do it?"
"This snake lives in this corridor, and it is unlikely that it only moves in a small area near the gate. In addition, we did not encounter attacks in the first half of the corridor when we entered it. There is a high probability that this entire corridor is its territory.
It's always with us,"
He Ao glanced at the corpse on the ground and said casually, "It should be hiding in the dark, waiting for the moment when we are most relaxed, and then launches an attack.
"From this point of view, this snake is somewhat intelligent. Since it is intelligent, just lay a trap, sell a flaw, and wait for it to take the bait."
So He Ao had just been pretending to focus on Feiya, which would make the green python think that He Ao had relaxed its vigilance on its own defense.
Then, while Feiya turned around, and theoretically He Ao should pay the most attention to Feiya, the snake found the right position and launched an attack.
It thought it had predicted He Ao's movements. In fact, all of this was a trap laid by He Ao. Even the right shoulder it found was the weakest "defense" of He Ao was deliberately sold to it by He Ao.
flaw.
It thought it was making a sneak attack, but in fact all its actions were on the track designed by He Ao.
However, this trick is only more effective for this kind of intelligent beast. If this snake is the kind of beast that has no brains and can only attack by instinct, then it will take a lot of effort to crack it.
Invisibility ability.
"oh!"
Feiya nodded in understanding.
At the same time, she glanced at the snake head not far away, and the snake body that was separated from the snake head and hidden in the darkness for at least ten meters.
Monsters of this level are hell-level bosses for ordinary C-level monsters, or even the powerful first-tier C-level monsters.
It's invisible, smart, powerful, and maybe even poisonous.
But this is a BOSS that didn't even appear for a minute, and he got his lunch in just two moves.
She found that their team record was really good.
We two are so strong.
He Ao did not pay attention to Feiya, who was thinking wildly. At this moment, his attention, like Feiya's, stayed on the snake head and snake body on the ground.
But the focus of his attention was not on the snake head and body, but on the 'vines' that were splashed with blood.
The blood spread on the vines slowly became lighter and lighter at a speed visible to the naked eye, blending into the green body of the vines that stretched and contracted as if they were breathing.
Immediately afterwards, He Ao watched the vines tremble, and some vines slowly arched up, rolling up the body and head of the snake that fell on the vines.
Zila——
It seemed like the sound of some kind of sharp point piercing into the flesh. The originally plump and strong snake meat shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was then coiled together by wriggling vines.
In a very short period of time, the corpse from the C-level beast was sucked dry, leaving only a thin layer of skin wrapping the long snake bones.
Soon, even these snake bones and snake skins were torn and entangled by the coiled vines. With a squeaking sound that made your gums sore, those strong bones were ground into little white powders.
Melted into the green vines.
After this 'full' meal, these vines seemed to become more and more green and bright.
As the last bones and skin were eaten and wiped clean, all the vines slowly stretched out again. Except for the fresh blood splashing on the ground, there was no trace of the giant python in the dark corridor.
It's like it never happened.
Although He Ao felt that these vines were dangerous early on, he didn't see the true 'strength' of these vines until now.
Even submachine guns cannot penetrate the skin and bones of C-class alien beasts, and sharp bullets cannot leave any traces.
But it was so easily pierced and ground like tissue paper, leaving nothing behind.
He Ao looked back at Feiya.
The girl had just seen the movements of these vines. She seemed to have lost any thoughts, and her eyes under her glasses looked a little dull.
She seemed to finally understand deeply why He Ao had emphasized to her so many times, 'Be careful where you step' and 'Be careful of the vines'.
He Ao was about to pack up and move forward, but at this moment, a white light appeared in front of the two of them.
"this is?"
Feiya stared at this white light and asked subconsciously.
"It should be 'door'."
He Ao said thoughtfully.
This light quickly formed a white door frame, showing the street under the night.
Shadows and confused pedestrians appeared 'inside the door'.

Newland City-State·Core Island
"Hahaha! Open the door! Why don't you open the door!
Come out and see the outside world!"
A figure with messy hair was holding a buzzsaw that was turning rapidly, and the saw opened some old wooden doors on the street. Then he opened the door with force, and without hesitation
Armed with a chainsaw, he threw himself at the next door.
Boom—boom—
The sound of chainsaws in the roaring streets was accompanied by the screams of people in the house.
"Where did these bastards come from?"
In the center of the street, Kodo held a long black knife in his hand and cut a monster that resembled a combination of a lizard and a spider in half. Then he turned to look at the man who was smashing the door with a chainsaw.
At this moment, the chainsaw man's chainsaw seemed to have run out of power and was stuck on the door of a house. He immediately pulled out a short-handled ax from his waist and followed the gap opened by the chainsaw.
Go down with an axe.
With the flying sawdust, he cracked the corners of his mouth and looked at the little girl looking at him in horror behind the cracked door, "Kid, come out and play~!"
"Play with you!"
A kick flew from the side and kicked the man away.
"If you like playing so much, go to the prison and play with a 200-pound strong man."
Kodo patted his trouser legs and motioned for the person next to him to come up. The man took control.
He turned to look elsewhere on the street.
At this moment, there are still some people wandering on the street, with weird smiles on their faces. Along the street, they knock on the door one by one, urging the people inside to open the door and come out.
"What the hell is going on with these guys?"
Kodo sighed.
"These people seem to be the first ones to 'go out,'"
A subordinate next to him whispered, "I don't know why, but it gradually became like this. Deputy Minister, we should..."
"Control it first."
Kodo walked towards those people with a big knife in his hand.
······Half an hour later······
The whistling water sprayed out from the faucet. After half an hour of tossing, Kodo finally cleared the people on the street.
But the bad news is that there are not enough empty spaces at the gendarmerie station to detain those people.
At this moment, he was in front of the sink in a public restroom, with a large black knife leaning against the wall.
Some dim lights illuminated the dress mirror of the sink, reflecting the haggard face of the person in front of the mirror.
Kodo stretched his hands under the faucet, took a handful of water, and poured it on his face. He raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror.
The situation is getting more and more complicated, and he now even feels that the two C-class people, He Ao and Feiya, are powerless to do anything about the current situation even if they are still in Newland City State.
The entire city, together with the sea around the city, seems to be sliding into an abyss of chaos and madness.
At this time, Kodo suddenly felt that there seemed to be some kind of 'difference' in himself in the mirror, and he was no longer so 'harmonious'.
The 'him' in the mirror seems to be looking at him outside the mirror, but this is not like looking into a mirror, but as if 'another person' is sitting in the mirror, looking at him.
Just when Kodo hadn't realized what was happening, he saw the corner of his mouth in the mirror slowly rising into a smile.
Kodo immediately grasped the black knife by the wall and subconsciously took two steps back, widening the distance between him and the mirror.
The man in the mirror was still standing in front of the sink, with his hands on the sink and did not move. He raised his head and looked at Kodo outside the mirror, his voice was like a devil's whisper,
"Are you afraid? Are you unwilling to give in?"

Newland City State·Vinland Island
The red-haired man walked blankly on the street, looking at the chaotic and noisy crowd at a loss.
He didn't know how he got here these two days.
I took that 'Lunke' to see the 'boss', and then the boss died.
I reported the matter of ‘Lunke’ to my boss’s boss, and within a day, the boss’s boss also died.
The Church of Chaos, snap, soon, was gone.
The person who was responsible for picking him up died before, and those who were still alive were either caught or on the run with money. Suddenly he had no organization.
Just when he thought he was going to be arrested, it suddenly turned dark and the whole city seemed to be enveloped in some kind of fog.
The streets were full of people, wandering around like masked ghosts, urging everyone at home to open their doors and come out of their houses.
He didn't know what was happening, he only felt fear.
After the destruction of the Chaos Church, the twisted chaos that the Chaos Church longed for finally seemed to have arrived in this city.
But he was not happy at all.
He is not really loyal to the chaotic teachings, he is just trying to make ends meet.
He opened the door by himself and met a monster when he opened the door. Perhaps because he opened the door early, the monster was very weak and he beat it to death with a stick.
He didn't know what he should do, but blending into the chaotic crowd seemed like a good option.
I don't know when, some strange 'thoughts' began to echo in his mind, asking him to open other people's doors and open those invisible passages.
He didn't know where these thoughts originated, nor why he had such thoughts. He felt that his mind was a bit like waking up from a hangover, caught in the chaos of manifestation and illusion.
He walked on the street in a daze, not knowing when he would follow the instructions of the 'thinking' in his mind and become one of those chaotic people wandering the street, tricking people into opening doors.
The doors of some houses on the street have been 'cheated open', but the opened door does not reveal the scene inside the house, but opens the passage to an unknown and dangerous world.
Every door here seems to lead to a different area, and even adjacent doors lead to completely different places.
His eyes drifted past the doors, and he quickened his pace and walked towards the alleyway to the side.
He knew very well that there were dangers lurking behind these doors. At least until he was completely controlled by those thoughts, the first priority in his mind was to save his life.
While running in a hurry, his eyes passed by the doors.
Vaguely, he caught a glimpse of two unformed figures standing in the darkness inside a door that was being formed.
But soon, he passed through the door and ran into the alley of the street.
The image of those two figures kept flashing through his mind.
Who are they? Why are they on the opposite side of the door?
In that dangerous world, can anyone survive?
Or were they just two shadows, or were hallucinations beginning to appear in his chaotic mind?
How could anyone be present in such a dangerous environment?
He leaned against the wall of the alley, breathing heavily.
In these random thoughts, he felt that his thinking began to become more and more chaotic.
At this moment, a figure came up behind him and patted his shoulder gently.
Some kind of intense stimulation seemed to soak into his soul, making him sober in an instant.
He turned his head tremblingly and looked at the arm on his shoulder. Vaguely, he remembered who the costume on his arm should belong to. He opened his mouth hoarsely and tremblingly, "Lenke..."
···”
However, the figure behind him did not give him a chance to tremble and beg for mercy, but directly interrupted his words quickly and concisely,
