Fantasy Game: Infinite City

"Snapped."

"Boom."

On the way out of the hot spring, the gelatinous creatures killed by Su Qing and Zhao Xuan kept filling the corridor with such sounds. Moreover, ever since the deformed thing was put into a storage box and into Zhao Xuan's backpack, these gelatinous humanoid creatures would always ooze out some carnivorous sticky liquid from their cracked bodies after death, and it soon covered the ground. This slowed down the progress several times, and it took more than an hour to walk through the corridor of dozens of meters.

"There are too many of these things! Why didn't I see them just now?" After Zhao Xuan almost tripped into these deadly liquids, he grabbed the handle of a nearby door tightly and complained.

“But we have to get rid of them. These things should be able to sense our pheromones or life signals. If we don’t get rid of them, when they pounce on us, you and I don’t have the boss’s strong regeneration ability, not to mention that even the boss took a long time to recover just now.

While Su Qing used his energy rifle, which had been transformed into a dual-wielded ion beam launcher, to deal with the slowly approaching, gelatinous humanoid creatures one by one, he found a free moment to pull Zhao Xuan away from the area that was covered with liquid.

This time, Han Zu did not take action to clean up those creatures, because his attack method might cause accidental casualties on his side. Using powerful but single-style close combat would only make him a target for these flesh-eating liquids, which also emitted a lot of methane-like gases. Su Qing's ion rays were not dangerous, but Han Zu's fire pillars were completely different, so the flames produced by the Death Realm Gift could not be used for the time being, unless Han Zu wanted to blow up the entire building. As for those biological rockets, they were even more inappropriate.

"I kind of miss the variations of offensive weapons and skills from before. If I could still control those soldiers, maybe I could save a lot of time."

"Snapped."

"Boom."

After cleaning up some large gelatinous creatures that might have devoured each other, Han Zu kicked open the door to leave the building and came outside. There was a small fountain. On the other side of the fountain was another building. The survivors that Han Zu had sensed before were in that building.

"I was suffocating to death. After those things died, the gas that gushed out of the liquid in their bodies was not only extremely flammable, but also carried some spores. If the gas mask I made had not had two sets of breathing devices, I would have been suffocated to death..."

Zhao Xuan came outside, knelt on the ground, pulled off the gas mask on his face, and breathed in fresh air. Because his face was facing the ground, he did not notice any abnormalities in the surrounding environment.

Su Qing also took off her gas mask and prepared to find a place to sit down and rest for a while, but as soon as she raised her head, she saw that where the fountain was originally, a large number of special plants that she had never seen before were growing from the water of the fountain. Judging from the fact that they could turn in her direction, these plants should not be simple. Su Qing instinctively raised the weapon in her hand.

"Crack."

"Boss, why are you grabbing my shoulders so hard... Holy shit!!!"

Zhao Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly felt someone grabbing his shoulder very forcefully, he looked up and saw his boss Han Zu's arm with bulging veins. The force was so great that Zhao Xuan's shoulder began to creak. Before he could ask Han Zu why he did this, he was suddenly picked up by Han Zu and thrown backwards.

"Puff!!"

Just as Zhao Xuan was flying up, seven or eight plant roots as thick as wrists and covered with thorns and spikes suddenly emerged from the ground. The part exposed above the ground was more than two meters high. Zhao Xuan immediately reacted and realized that it must be his boss Han Zu's powerful perception ability that discovered them in advance. If Han Zu hadn't thrown him out, he would have become a kebab of lamb. No, it should be a kebab of human meat.

“Hoo-boom!!”

A pillar of fire emitting deadly high temperature erupted from Han Zu's mouth without warning, and directly hit the roots of the plants that had drilled through the ground and broken through the soil. However, a scene that surprised Han Zu appeared in front of his eyes. The deadly pillar of fire, whose heat was enough to burn through steel in a short period of time, did not cause any damage to the roots of the plants at all. What was even more outrageous was that the scorching temperature made the roots of the plants become even more crazy, waving wildly in the air, and some buildings that were thrown into it were directly shattered by these plant roots.

"Back off!"

Su Qing immediately ran towards the building they had just come out of, and on the way, she gave Zhao Xuan, who had just climbed up, another kick, allowing him to rush towards the building even faster. However, before they reached the door, Zhao Xuan stood up with a somersault, pounced on Su Qing, and rolled to the other side with her in his arms.

Su Qing knew very well that Zhao Xuan would not do anything useless, so he immediately shot an ion beam towards the direction of the door. Sure enough, after a not-so-loud noise, a humanoid gel-like creature that was more than three people tall and blocked the door of the entire building burst open, and the liquid in its body sprayed onto the ground outside.

"What should I do?! The road is blocked!"

Standing up again, Zhao Xuan immediately woke up the scanner on his wrist. The scanner seemed to be broken and continuously sent out signals of scanning life forms. More gelatinous humanoid creatures were chasing after him from the building where the hot spring bath was located.

"The platform on the second floor! Go up and help me watch the exit of the hot spring bath!"

Han Zu rushed to the hot spring at this moment. According to his perception ability, he confirmed that the plant roots that attacked Zhao Xuan just now were actually the strange plant entrenched in the fountain water. He smashed a corner of the fountain with a punch, allowing the water in the reservoir to flow quickly to the ground. Then he stretched out his hands and grabbed the strange plant, which was a circle larger than the Queen of Flowers, and wanted to pull it up by the roots.

"Buzz~~"

Su Qing quickly climbed up to the platform on the second floor and continued to clear out the gel creatures that chased in from the hot spring bath. Zhao Xuan lay at Su Qing's feet, quickly creating a small repulsive field to keep out the plants waiting for an opportunity, while nervously observing various locations on the scene, looking for possible solutions to the current situation.

Han Zu was entangled with that plant and other growing plants attached to nearby buildings and the ground. These plants, no matter what part they were, were extremely strong, which made it impossible for Han Zu to deal with all of them in a short period of time. At the same time, these plants all had neurotoxins of varying strengths, which constantly paralyzed Han Zu's exposed skin. The flowers of some plants even produced nerve gases that blocked vision and breathing. Although Han Zu would not be affected by these gases, they did prevent Han Zu from discovering the source of the attack in the first place. In other words, he could only rely on Su Qing and Zhao Xuan to stop those gelatinous humanoid creatures.

Zhao Xuan, who was standing by, had sweat pouring down his forehead. He could see that the overheat indicator on Su Qing's weapon was approaching the overload value, and those gelatinous humanoid creatures were gathering more and more. The carnivorous liquid was gradually spreading to the ground outside. Perhaps in a while, it would spread to the fountain.

As for Han Zu, Zhao Xuan also observed that his movements were gradually slowing down. It should be some powerful neurotoxin carried by those plants. Even with Han Zu's powerful regenerative ability, it was gradually becoming a bit strenuous. Han Zu, who was unable to dodge, had his body pierced by some thick plant roots. He was about to be tied up and would soon be unable to move.

“I have to do something!”

Zhao Xuan's gaze anxiously moved back and forth between the exit of the hot spring bath building and Han Zu's position, trying to find a way to solve the dilemma.

"Didi didi didi!!"

“Shh…”

Just as the overheat indicator on Su Qing's weapon sounded the alarm, and Han Zu was about to be wrapped into a ball by those plants, Zhao Xuan suddenly noticed that some plants that touched the liquid in those gelatinous organisms instantly became dry, withered rapidly, and died quickly.

"Found it! Su Qing! Send a few humanoid creatures to the fountain! Boss! These plants are afraid of those liquids! Put them on these gelatinous creatures!"

Zhao Xuan, who found a solution, immediately shouted to the two of them. Su Qing immediately stopped attacking and let go of several gelatinous humanoid creatures. The overheating of the weapon was also slowly recovering. Han Zu heard Zhao Xuan's shouting, but he had no way to bring these plants over. The sturdy plants and the neurotoxins they carried made Han Zu unable to use all his strength and he couldn't reach the location of those gelatinous creatures.

Fortunately, those gelatinous humanoid creatures that Su Qing let go staggered and walked towards Han Zu on their own. But the plants also discovered something and instinctively wanted to avoid those gelatinous things. Han Zu forced his mouth out of the encirclement of those plants and sprayed a column of fire at the leg of the front gelatinous creature, successfully melting its lower body. The gelatinous creature lost its center and fell uncontrollably towards Han Zu, hitting the roots of the plants that trapped him.

"Snapped."

“Hua La La… Hiss…”

The gelatinous humanoid creatures were easily punctured by the sharp thorns on the plant roots and the liquid inside burst and sprayed on the plant roots and Han Zu's body. Most of the plant roots became dry and withered in an instant and died immediately. Han Zu, who was also sprayed with the carnivorous liquid, also lost a lot of skin and muscle in an instant. However, this time, the damage to Han Zu was not as serious as the last time. These injuries were not enough to make Han Zu lose his ability to move, but they also slowed down Han Zu's movements.

There were still a few roots and other plants that were still attached to and penetrated Han Zu's body, and were pulling Han Zu towards the fountain. However, because Han Zu had lost a lot of muscle, he could no longer stay still and was slowly pulled over.

At this moment, Han Zu suddenly saw a creature that still retained some characteristics of a corpse and had not completely gelled. He immediately stretched out his tattered arms in the direction of the creature, gave up on self-repair, and instead grew several thick tentacles, entangled the part of the creature that had not yet completely gelled, and pulled it over.

The shift in center of gravity made Han Zu unable to stand steadily. Those powerful and resilient sturdy plants immediately pulled Han Zu up and dragged him towards the fountain. Han Zu did not resist, but quickly retracted his tentacles and hugged the creature that had not yet completely gelled into his arms.

"boom!"

"Boom."

Han Zu was hit hard on the fountain, and the decorative statue covered with plants was half broken. Han Zu used his body to absorb the shock, so the gelatinous humanoid creature in his arms was not destroyed by the impact. Due to Han Zu's previous damage and the current impact, the water in the fountain reservoir was reduced by more than half, and the large number of plant cores that were originally soaked in water and entangled together were exposed to the air. After determining the position, Han Zu pressed the gelatinous humanoid creature on the cores of the plants, and then used his fingertips, which had no skin and muscles and only a skeleton left, to suddenly pierce the body of the gelatin creature, allowing a large amount of liquid to pour onto the cores of the plants.

“Crunch!!!”

The plant cores wrapped in the liquid twisted like living creatures being tortured, trying to get rid of the liquid. However, the liquid was still sticky, so it had no real effect. The tangled plant cores twitched a few times, quickly dried up and turned yellow, and then died immediately. The crazy growing weird plants also lost their vitality within a few seconds after the cores died, and scattered on the ground. Even some parasitic plants that were crawling all over the wall fell off automatically.
