Riding on His Coattails and Surviving the Apocalypse - Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Cannibalism
This tree alone was not as powerful as the giant crocodile they had encountered back then, but the key was that the other party lived in groups. They were surrounded by this kind of tree. Quantitative change caused a qualitative change. Looking at this scene, Lou Xiaoluo and Xia Xuan touched their arms, This was a bit like a ghost movie. They weren’t afraid of zombies or anything, but this kind of ghost aura was truly frightening. They could only beat zombies and monsters, but they couldn’t beat ghosts. In the future, if Shitian Squad recruited more monks and Taoists, it wouldn’t be a big deal. It was still necessary to cultivate more craftsmen.

Lou Xiaoluo wanted to hide in Ji Shitian’s embrace, even Xia Xuan moved closer to Ji Lingtian and didn’t take advantage of this opportunity to hug her. The man had a heavy Yang Qi. If something strange really appeared, he could still carry it. Thinking about it, Ji Ling Tian was still very useful. Xia Xuan raised her head and smiled at Ji Ling Tian. It made Ji Ling Tian a little excited. If it wasn’t for the inappropriate location, he would have thought of showing off somewhere else.

Ji Shitian and the others carefully rescued a person who had just been swept away from their team. He found that there was no sound. His blood had already been drained and his body was beginning to corrode. He could only shake his head. The tree was killing and eating people too fast. It had only been ten minutes since this person had been swept away and rescued. The alert level in everyone’s hearts had reached its peak. Perhaps it was because many living people had entered this place, or perhaps it was because of the bloody aura brought about by the deaths of those people just now. Now, the entire forest seemed to have come to life.

The trees brandished their thick vines and attacked the people of Shitian Squad, The vines were too strong to be cut off. Everyone was in a hurry. The fire-attribute abilities immediately used their abilities to attack and burn the vines. The other abilities also cooperated with the attack. However, there were too many vines on the other side, covering the sky like large nets. Many people were still injured, and some were even swept away.

Ji Shitian Squad’s men moved along the path as they attacked. Their goal was to pass through this forest, not destroy them. Therefore, most of them used fire-type abilities to burn their surroundings. Metal-type ice-type and other powerful abilities did not interfere with these trees.

Everyone attacked for a period of time and discovered that the vine length of each tree was limited. Fortunately, their roots could not move underground, otherwise, the scene would be even more unimaginable. Just as everyone was rejoicing, they discovered that a few trees seemed to want to uproot their roots and chase after them. Fortunately, only half of the trees were uprooted and they were unable to catch them. Otherwise, the scene would be even more terrifying.

Imagine being chased by a bunch of tall trees. The key is that the tree eats people, Thinking about it, Ji Shitian and the others looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other’s eyes. Those trees that wanted to move were thicker and looked to evolve better. The forest had to find a way to get rid of them. Otherwise, when they grew up again, they could move. At that time, the place they chose to settle in would no longer be safe.

When someone was suddenly swept away, Ji Changde and the others tried their best to go to Di Qiu’s side. However, there were too many people around them. When everyone started attacking and running, the three of them couldn’t catch up with Di Qiu’s speed. Therefore, they didn’t get to Di Qiu’s side. Although Di Qiu’s combat strength wasn’t good, his physical fitness wasn’t a problem. After graduation, his physical fitness had to be worthy of his ability level. Xu Jin was already desperate to cultivate Di Qiu’s combat ability, so he did a lot of flexibility training for Di Qiu’s situation, which made it completely fine for Di Qiu to escape.

Ji Changde and the others were so frightened that their legs went limp. Ji Changde was a man who ran faster after all, because he could not reach Di Qiu, so he turned around to tell Ji Changling what to do. However, he only saw Tang Jiaojiao who was not far away from her and did not see Ji Changling.

‘”Where’s your mother?” “Right behind me.” Tang Jiaojiao turned around and found that her mother had disappeared. Because of Ji Shitian’s indifference, Ji Changde and Ji Changling, who were originally not on good terms with each other, often hugged each other for warmth. Their relationship was much better. Now that Ji Changling had disappeared, Ji Changde was a little worried.

Although Ji Shitian no longer treated them well, he could guarantee that they would eat and drink. Therefore, they only did simple things on the team. Before the apocalypse, they were all well-fed people. Now, their physical fitness had not improved too much. “Why don’t you drag your mother away? She can’t run fast when she’s old.” Ji Changde shouted. Tang Jiaojiao was also very anxious, but she still replied, “Why aren’t you pulling? You’re still a man.” The two of them complained to each other as they ran, but neither of them stopped to look for Ji Changling.

It wasn’t that Tang Jiaojiao hadn’t pulled Ji Changling. It was just that they accidentally separated their hands after running for a while. Tang Jiaojiao pulled Ji Changling slowly and hated to waste her strength, so she took the opportunity to stop pulling Ji Changling. Who knew that Ji Changling would disappear soon, or perhaps be eaten by the tree?

Tang Jiaojiao was very scared now. Her mother was gone. Not to mention Ji Changde’s uncle, even he couldn’t protect himself. And Ji Shitian didn’t care about them. Tang Jiaojiao looked at the dark forest like a bloody mouth, waiting for her to fall into a trap.

The more Tang Jiaojiao thought about it, the more afraid she became. She felt eyes all around her, They were all looking at her, Tang Jiaojiao stuck her long tongue out at her with her mouth agape. Tang Jiaojiao could not help but stop. At this moment, the defense line in her heart had collapsed. Ji Changde felt that Tang Jiaojiao behind her suddenly lost her voice. She turned around and saw that the other party was squatting on the ground trembling. The people beside her ran past her. Ji Changde couldn’t help but curse angrily.

“Tang Jiaojiao, what are you doing? Hurry up and run. If you don’t run, you’ll die.” However, Tang Jiaojiao seemed to have fallen into a daze, completely ignoring Ji Changde’s shouting. Just as Ji Changde was about to pull Tang Jiaojiao up, she saw that Tang Jiaojiao was quickly wrapped in a vine and disappeared. She was so frightened that Ji Changde’s potential exploded and ran past a few more people. He did not want to be eaten by the tree.

Ji Changde was also scared out of his wits. He hadn’t seen the process of the disappearance of the previous person, nor did his sister. So, he only knew the danger, but he didn’t have a definite feeling of it. However, how did Tang Jiaojiao disappear, Ji Changde could clearly see it.

The vine that wrapped around Tang Jiaojiao was as thick as a bowl, The vine was covered with barbs, The barb pierced into Tang Jiaojiao’s body and she seemed to be paralyzed in an instant. She no longer struggled and did not even make a sound. Ji Changde could see the blood on Tang Jiaojiao’s face quickly dried up and her body became shriveled. There was something bulging in the middle of the vine, which was Tang Jiaojiao’s blood. Tang Jiaojiao was swept away without even letting out a cry. Seeing the originally healthy person quickly become shriveled, Ji Changde hated why his eyesight was so good for the first time.

Ji Changde remembered what Ji Changling had said before. He tried his best to speed up and catch up with Di Qiu and the others. However, the ideal was a beautiful reality, but it was very cruel. Ji Changde could only guarantee that he would not leave the army. Gradually, the speed of the team in front slowly slowed down. It turned out that it was Ji Shitian and the other leaders who stopped. Although Ji Shitian wanted to get rid of this forest, he still had to wait for them to leave. However, the brandishing vines in front of him blocked their path. It seemed that it was impossible for them not to fight a single battle.

Everyone quickly formed a team. Snake Bei Bei was now the main force of the attack. The Ji Shi Tian Squad had quite a few fire-attribute abilities, but there were too many trees here. Other attacks were relatively ineffective against trees.

Ji Shitian and Bai Yuli both thought of this problem. Bai Yuli was a psychic ability, so it wasn’t very useful here. He couldn’t unleash a psychic attack on the tree, right? Not to mention it was useless, it would be silly to watch. Lou Xiaoluo ran to the side of a tree. She remembered that the trunk of those mutated plants in her previous life had astonishing defenses but no means of attack, so she had the guts to stab the trunk fiercely with an ice knife.

After the ice saber entered the tree trunk, blood flowed out from the tree trunk. It was the blood of those who had not yet been digested, The vines of the tree seemed to have been stimulated, She crazily wanted to attack Lou Xiaoluo, Lou Xiaoluo used an ice shield to block the attack, and then stabbed the tree trunk with an ice knife. It was as if something had been stabbed. The vine’s attack paused, followed by a burst of indiscriminate bombardment. Lou Xiaoluo had no choice but to stay away from the tree’s attack range. Ji Shitian dealt with the vine in front of her and blocked part of the attack. He coldly glared at her. Lou Xiaoluo smiled.

Ji Shitian felt a headache. He didn’t see Lou Xiaoluo at a glance, The other party infuriated a memorial cypress. I really don’t know what she did to make the other party attack her without attacking others. However, now is not the time to ask questions. Ji Shitian decided that he must teach Lou Xiaoluo a lesson in the future to let her understand that her life is not hers alone. Looking at Ji Shitian’s appearance, Lou Xiaoluo always felt that she was going to be unlucky again.

A small theater

Lou Xiaoluo: Little Shi, they are also mutated plants that eat humans. Look at them. Not only are they tall and mighty, they can also resist pressure and detect their natural defenses. Aren’t you a little embarrassed to be the man-eating flower at the top of the food chain? Your ancestor’s coffin can’t even cover it anymore.

Little Shi: Not at all. Besides, no matter how powerful they are, they will still be annihilated by the group. I’m the only one in my family right now. All I need to do is protect myself. The other ancestors won’t mind. Besides, before they mutated, they were stronger than me. I’m a delicate flower.

Lou Xiaoluo: You still have a point. Today, I’ll show you what it means to destroy flowers with my hands.

Snack: Wuwu, help, don’t pull the petals.

Baby Bear: You bullied Xiaoluo again today?

Snake Baby: Where?

Baby Bear: Every time you bully Xiaoluo, she always goes to Little Shi to find a balance.

Snake Baby: Hmph, both of them are useless.

Baby Bear: Better than looking for Ji Shitian.

Snake Bei Bei: I can’t beat Ji Shi Tian, but I can hit you. Come on, loosen your muscles and bones today.

Baby Bear: It’s such a nice day. Let’s go bask in the sun and eat.

Snake Baby: Alright.
