The sound of electricity kept buzzing.
Attracting the attention of the recovered Holy Sect followers nearby.
Chou and Mao look at each other.
Shock filled their eyes.
What’s happening?
Usually, Xuanwu possesses the Water Authority, right?
Why can this new Lord Xuanwu control thunder?
Chen Sheng’s strength and mystery.
Greatly stoked the curiosity of both men.
But they dared not delve too much into it.
In the face of overwhelming power, all curiosity could be crushed.
However,
In their exchange of glances, an inexplicable change flickered in their eyes. As if some thought was rising within them.
On Chen Sheng’s side.
When the thunder reappeared,
The lush red flesh beneath his fingertips began to tremble more noticeably.
It kept tightening downwards, as if trying to avoid the attack of the thunder.
But it was entirely in vain.
Chen Sheng reached out.
Dismal screams rose again.
Aroma of meat spread all around.
The sizzling sound of the electric current was enough to make one’s scalp numb.
Yet Chen Sheng remained expressionless, his arm continuing to penetrate the flesh as if searching for something.
After searching for a while, he began to extract charred chunks of flesh from inside the tree trunk and casually discard them at his feet.
The flesh monster tree, that almost killed everyone present,
in front of Chen Sheng, could only allow him to manipulate it, with no ability to resist.
Before long, the flesh inside the tree trunk had been completely removed.
Not even the tree roots were spared by Chen Sheng, as he methodically uprooted them.
Soon, the roots were entirely gone.
A blackened circular pit, about two meters in diameter, came into everyone’s view.
The Holy Sect followers all looked horrified.
Despite feeling creeped out, they couldn’t help succumbing to their curiosity.
Chen Sheng, who had a clearer view, was startled when he stood in front of the pit, looking at the cavity.
What in the world is this?
Chen Sheng was somewhat taken aback.
Underneath the circular pit, there wasn’t the soil he had imagined, but the same red tender flesh, squirming around.
Within the span of a mere breath,
this flesh completely disappeared before Chen Sheng, revealing the soil behind it.
These monster trees… are not independent entities!
They share a common consciousness!
Chen Sheng had seen many strange films in his previous life, and immediately made a corresponding guess about the current situation.
He also knew that, the best way to deal with unfamiliar, bizarre situations, is to retreat!
There is plenty of time for action once the specifics and the strength of the enemy have been confirmed.
However….
Chen Sheng surveyed his surroundings, and still had some doubts in his mind. He needed to do some testing first.
With that thought,
Whoosh!
His figure instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting towards the outer direction.
In the blink of an eye, he had vanished from everyone’s sight.
Chou and Mao exchanged glances again, both at a loss.
“Could it be…”
Without saying a word, Chen Sheng ran directly in the direction he came from.
Although unlikely, it gave people the impression that, he wanted to escape.
Mr. Mao was about to voice his guess,
but when he saw the puzzled followers out of the corner of his eye, he swallowed his next words.
The situation is unclear for now.
Even if Lord Xuanwu is fleeing,
ne can’t say lt.
Or else, when everyone is in fear, they might do things that are not beneficial for them.
“Everyone, don’t worry.” “Lord Xuanwu is just checking out the situation.”
Mr. Mao reassured everyone. Upon hearing this, the followers finally relaxed.
Had it not been for the powerful Lord Xuanwu, they would already be dead at the hands of the monster trees.
They were still fearful of their surroundings, but as long as Chen Sheng was there, they wouldn’t lose their minds.
Whoosh
Thunder cut through the air.
Chen Sheng exploded with all his might.
Each step he took created a huge pit in the ground.
His body even broke through the sound barrier, causing waves of air explosions.
He wanted to see if he could leave this place and return to the Tropical Rainforest Park.
At his full speed, the distance that took half an hour previously, now would take him only about two minutes to run.
But, now that he had been running for five minutes,
Whoosh!
Chen Sheng stopped running.
Appearing once again, he looked at the ground beneath him with a cold expression.
Despite his quick speed, the ground beneath his feet kept changing.
As if with his advancement, the ground was constantly spinning, greatly reducing his running efficiency.
Also…
he looked around, only to see that, the trees around him were once again swaying.
They all looked ferocious, as if no longer afraid of Chen Sheng.
As they swayed, these flesh monster trees kept drawing closer to each other.
Soon, trunk against trunk,
Chen Sheng was surrounded on all sides by a wall of trees, with no way out.
Crack, crack, crack—
Branches grew with a rustling sound all around.
Chen Sheng looked out,
and saw that the branches of those monster trees were continuously growing, seemingly planning to block out even the sky.
Seeing this,
Chen Sheng immediately understood their plan.
They want to trap him here.
And then…. starve him to death. What happens next also proved Chen Sheng’s speculation. After successfully blocking an area of about a hundred meters, more and more sturdy branches extended out.
This time, the look of these branches changed drastically.
Any tree-related characteristics were diminishing, and a fresh red liquid oozed out, replacing the original bark..
