Chapter 596: Man Eating Flower
A bright moon appeared in the dark night sky.
On the island, a layer of fog seemed to have reappeared under the moonlight.
However, compared to the day where the thick fog significantly impaired one’s vision, the fog at night did not seem to affect one’s ability to fight.
On the contrary, the light green fog flowed along with the players walking past a forest of dark trees with sharp and leafless branches, with the ground filled with rotten branches, leaves, and mud; creating a very eerie atmosphere.
“That’s odd, we’ve been walking for around a minute after entering this forest. Even with so many people, we haven’t encountered one monster... Green Arrow sis, did you discover anything?” Walking beside Feng Luo, Big Pineapple looked around with his alloy shield in hand and asked suspiciously.
The tall and slender female Scout wearing tactical eyewear who was looking around answered, “Nothing yet.”
Green Arrow, the name that Feng Luo couldn’t help think was odd. It was the name of the Scout player who was the newest member of Red Queen’s party.
“However, she’s another player with a colored ID. Does Red Queen have a preference for these types of players?” Feng Luo thought to himself.
With Wings of Death in hand, Feng Luo observed his surroundings from time to time through his sniping scope’s night vision while walking.
It had been half an hour since they cleared the first base, and by then, the group had entered within a kilometer of the second.
However, just one minute ago, after the mission team entered this part of the forest, the situation started to become eerie. They had not encountered any monsters yet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot to mention not encountering a monster, but the Scout’s recon meter could not find the trace of any monster even after using comprehensive scanning.
“Could it be that the monster around this base is another monster that has the camouflage ability?” When considering that possibility, many people were having headaches. action
Although the losses caused by the Hypertoxic Chameleon from earlier was not too large, their ability to merge with the surrounding environment made the fighting process quite difficult as well.
To many, they hoped to not ever encounter that type of monster again.
“Scouts, fire a low altitude flare.” Frontline Command’s instructions came from the vanguard.
After selling Force Potions to the Nine-Star Guild, Feng Luo no longer had to worry about Frontline Command’s operation of his device.
As such, Feng Luo had now rendezvoused with Big Pineapple and the others, and abiding by their previous arrangement, combined his and Red Queen’s squads into one, walking in the middle.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...”
A few whooshing sounds appeared and a series of low altitude flares flew above the forest.
Considering the fact that the players from North City were also on the same island, the group did not use a high altitude flare since they did not want to expose their position to their enemies. However, the forest was just too eerie, and to see a little bit better, after some consideration, the Nine-Star Guild’s upper management team decided to light up a few flares first to widen their vision.
“Whoosh...”
Not far ahead of Feng Luo’s group, a Scout player from the Nine-Star Guild also grabbed a hold of his flare gun and fired a shot after hearing the instructions.
Just as the flare was shot, he felt one of his calves tighten and his entire body was pulled down onto the ground by a strong pulling force.
“Puff, puff, puff, puff!”
It was not only the Scout player. When the flare flew into the air and brightened up the surrounding, seven other players around the Scout player had also suddenly fallen to the ground. They seemed to be pulled and dragged by a formless thing on the muddy ground filled with rotted leaves and branches, towards a darker part of the forest.
“Agh! Damn it!”
“F*ck this... What the hell is this?”
“Hurry up and help!”
The players who were being dragged away could only feel a strong pulling force moving them. Since one of their legs was being dragged, they could not stabilize their bodies. And their first reaction was to call for help.
“Bang!”
A sniper rifle gunshot rang in the air. The Nine-Star Guild’s Scout player suddenly felt the grip loosen as the force holding his leg disappeared.
“Dong!”
However, momentum still caused him to slide on the ground for a certain distance, ultimately slamming into a tree trunk before stopping. He looked completely ravaged.
While he was in a very battered state, his situation was still a lot better than the other six players who did not receive help on time. At that time, they had been dragged out of the other players’ sight.
Not everyone was capable of one-shotting and breaking off the dark green twine-like “rope” that wrapped around their legs and writhed like a snake after being torn apart.
“Over there!”
Without saying much, after the few of those were dragged away, the first thing the surrounding players chose to do was to pursue them.
The Scout players in the team immediately fired a flare towards that direction.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter chasing for around 20 meters, Feng Luo’s group finally saw the thing that was dragging people away.
On top of an empty area inside the forest, over ten large “flowers” with white and red spots over four meters long in diameter were swaying and dancing in the air while emanating a fresh fragrance.
Apart from that, closer to the players’ position were five flower buds that had not yet blossomed. They were shaped like humans and they were shaking violently.
There was a Machine Gunner who managed to halfway struggle free by himself and managed to cause a few seconds’ delay but had ultimately failed.
A dark green flower vine that was as thick as an arm was wrapped around the Machine Gunner’s leg. It dragged him over and placed him beside a disc-shaped large flower.
The giant flower that was exquisitely beautiful and stylish still emanating a fragrance suddenly jerked towards the player. As if a python devouring its prey, the flower ate the player just like that.
The red and white spotted petals of the flower started to shrink towards the middle. It seemed the same as a python trying to squeeze its prey to death.
“F*ck me! What is this monster? A flower that eats people?” The appearance of the monster made a few feel chills down their spine.
However, a few had already begun their attacks. After all, the key right now was to rescue the others.
“Ta, ta, ta...”
A series of submachine gun bullets struck one of the flower buds that had bundled up a player inside.
“-44, -39, -42...”
The damage number was shockingly low.
“Hiss!”
The flower that was struck by the bullets let out a shriek as if it was alive. Dark red liquid began oozing out of the spots struck by the bullets as if it was really bleeding.
“Red and White Spotted Python Flower (Level 60 Commander). Special Transboundary Species. HP: 120,000... Possesses the dual characteristics of plants and animals.” Green Arrow quickly cast a Detection skill at the monster and reported her findings to the others in the team.
