AWB Chapter 406 Escape
Chapter 406 Escape
While Song Ying and the others were dealing with the black fog tree, Qi Cen had already caught up with Zong Cen who had already left the city.
This is the plot station. All maps are divided into areas. When Zong Cen ran to a position about five kilometers outside the city, he could not move forward any further.
Zong Cen ran here and found that there was nowhere to go, so he turned around and looked at Qi Cen and the other four. His eyes were bloodshot and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. He looked like he was on the verge of a rage.
Qi Cen was holding the Half Snow Shield and the Thousand Snow Sword in his hands, and the cold reflection looked like a provocation in Zong Cen's eyes.
After being rescued by the Black Mist Tree, there are now three consciousnesses in Zong Cen's body fighting for control. One is the consciousness of the player Ji Yue himself, one is the consciousness of the rebellious Purple Potato clone, and the remaining one is the consciousness of the tree.
At this time, Song Ying had just started fighting with the black fog tree. The tree's energy was at its strongest and its control was also the strongest.
“You all will become my fertilizer.”
Zong Cen's original clear voice was gone, and his voice now became rough.
As he spoke, Zong Cen swung the long whip in his hand towards Qi Cen and the others. The double power made the whip very ferocious.
Qi Cen's shield stood in the front, blocking the whip and was knocked back several steps by the force of the whip.
A five-on-one battle begins.
Qi Cen was in the front, while Fu Miaoyang and Leng Jin were both using hidden weapons.
The fan used by Fu Miaoyang can be used for long-range combat first and then close combat, but unfortunately the whip used by Zong Cen is not easy for him to get close to.
The weapon used by Mei Dong is similar to that used by Liu Zhongju, but her kung fu is not very strong, so in order not to cause trouble she can only provide support from behind.
Shi Muyuan's sword energy was flying around him, constantly approaching the tree roots and cutting them off.
Originally, the number of people in their team had been calculated. Zong Cen's fighting ability was not actually very good, but now after being blessed, he won entirely by strength.
Many of Leng Jin's hidden weapons were knocked away during the fight, and some hit Zong Cen, but they were all blocked by the hard skin after being blessed.
Qi Cen took several steps forward with his shield, and chopped up with the knife in his hand, and the blade became entangled with the whip.
Qi Cen pulled the whip violently and walked quickly towards Zong Cen's position, wanting to use his shield to pin him between the air wall and the shield.
Zong Cen let go immediately without any hesitation, while Qi Cen quickly shook off the whip on his knife.
At this time, Leng Jin's hidden weapon was facing Zong Cen, and Leng Jin speeded up his movements.
At this time, the hidden weapons did not hit Zong Cen, but all shot towards his eyes.
Among the many hidden weapons, there were also a few flying silver needles, which were thrown by Mei Dong, targeting the opponent's vital points. Unfortunately, Zong Cen's skin had become bark-like, and the silver needles could not penetrate it.
The fan in Fu Miaoyang's hand flew out and swept towards Zong Cen's eyes.
When the fan was about to hit the other person's eyes, Zong Cen's arm suddenly turned into a tree root, and the fan was blown away by the tree root.
Fu Miaoyang quickly stepped forward to catch the fan, then slashed at the opponent's tree root hand with his backhand.
The tree roots broke off immediately, cut off by the sharp blade at the front of the fan.
The tree roots fell to the ground and turned into ashes, and the remaining roots on Zong Cen's body absorbed the ashes and grew rapidly.
The roots that grew again became thicker and longer than before, and the originally tender bark became harder.
Qi Cen's knife only left a tiny mark on the tree root in the other person's hand.
After Zong Cen's attention was drawn away, Leng Jin's hidden weapon hit his left eye. The pain made him retreat quickly to the right. In addition to the air wall, there was also a forest, and that direction could even lead back to the villa of Xuanbing Mansion.
Fu Miaoyang dodged and tried to block it, but was blown away by Zong Cen's tree roots, and the protective armor on his body shattered.
When Mei Dong saw Fu Miaoyang's condition, he immediately went over to help check. When he found that there was no problem, he stepped aside to let them continue.
Fu Miaoyang added a protective armor to himself, and the five of them fought all the way to the woods.
Soon Leng Jin and Qi Cen discovered something different. The tree characteristics on Zong Cen's body became more and more obvious.
In a fight, the chances of hurting each other are getting smaller and smaller.
The five people were in a stalemate for a while and could only persist in the woods.
After nearly half an hour, the bark on Zong Cen's body began to degenerate. At this time, the five people immediately went up and wanted to seriously injure or kill him.
However, the originally extremely strong Zong Cen now became able to repair himself quickly. He was injured in the previous second, and in the next second he was able to recover from the injury to the state of being uninjured.
The whole process lasted a long time, and the fight lasted for nearly two hours.
The people originally sent by Wu Sen were guarding the periphery, but after not seeing them come out for a long time, they sent a small team in.
This team is made up of the elites of Xuanbing Mansion. They are all trained, and those who go in to look for people follow the formation.
The direction they entered was exactly the direction Zong Cen retreated, which caused the team that came in to search to run into them directly.
Zong Cen would naturally show no mercy when he saw anyone trying to stop him, especially now that his situation was unstable, he had to occupy an advantageous position.
The tree roots swung over and the unprotected group of people were knocked away, and even two weaker ones fainted.
"You guys go away quickly and don't come in again. You can't beat him."
Qi Cen also arrived at this time, and when he saw their situation, he shouted at them to leave quickly.
The leader has the best kung fu and is the one who recovers the fastest after being knocked down.
Qi Cen's move was to attract Zong Cen's attention so that they would have time to leave.
The captain quickly woke up the team members around him, and the six of them supported each other and retreated in another direction.
The team members were all seriously injured and their speed was not fast, so they had no way to return the same way and could only evacuate from the side.
Qi Cen swung his long sword down again with the sword energy, directly cutting off the opponent's tree root hand, and Leng Jin's hidden weapon hit the opponent's eyes again.
This time the hidden weapon was embedded deeper than last time, and Zong Cen’s recovery was not able to fully restore his eyes.
The pain made Zong Cen lose his composure again, and he felt more and more uncomfortable in his violent state.
The five people were in a stalemate for nearly two hours. The branch in Zong Cen's hand began to become hard, and finally became brittle, and even turned into ashes.
Zong Cen's hand returned to normal, leaving only a leaf-shaped mark on the back of his hand.
Ji Yue discovered that his and the system's consciousness were suppressed by the tree. Suddenly, the tree's consciousness began to weaken, and the system and Ji Yue's consciousness began to attack Zong Cen's body.
When the system and the tree were fighting for control before, the system had been severely suppressed. Now that the tree had lost consciousness, the system could not recover immediately.
This situation allowed Ji Yue to gain control. As soon as he controlled Zong Cen's body, he took out a smoke bomb and threw it on the ground.
The smoke quickly spread in the woods. Qi Cen and the others didn't react immediately. When they wanted to chase him, they found that Zong Cen had disappeared.
After searching the woods for a while and finding nothing, Qi Cen left two teams to search here.
They fought for a long time and were very tired, so they went back to the city to check on Song Ying's situation.
People from both sides met outside the abandoned house. After Song Ying and his friends came out, someone immediately went in to check if there was any fire inside that had not been extinguished.
"Is there any action from Nie Feice?"
When Qi Cen saw Wu Sen coming over, he opened his mouth and asked.
"No action. His wound has not healed yet and there are even signs of festering."
"There's a high chance that Zong Cen will go look for him, so we still have to guard that place well."
Qi Cen instructed Wu Sen to make sure to arrange the staff for Nie Feice.
"How did he escape?"
Song Ying came over and wanted to ask about the details of Zong Cen's escape. When the others heard Song Ying's question, they also gathered around and wanted to listen.
"He used a smoke bomb, but he didn't use it at the beginning. He used it after a long time."
"It is very likely that the Black Mist Tree was controlling him before, otherwise the hand would not have turned into a tree root."
Liu Zhongju was packing up the knife he had just used to chop down the tree.
"This plot station has not been closed. It can only be said that the Black Mist Tree must not be completely dead yet. It is very likely that he is with Zong Cen. This person still needs to be found and dealt with."
Song Ying put the knife back into the sheath and took a branch that he had left behind in his hand and looked at it.
This branch was actually already in a withered state, but I don't know why it didn't turn into ashes directly.
"Is this the branch of that tree?"
Fu Miaoyang came closer to study it carefully, and Song Ying handed the branch to him directly.
"It's probably because Zong Cen still has energy in him that he didn't disappear completely. If I could use my supernatural powers, maybe I could start an anti-tracking, but it's a pity that it's forbidden."
Song Ying shook the scepter that suddenly appeared in his hand, trying to use his supernatural power but failed to use anything.
"Do you still have that supernatural potion?"
"There's another one, but I think I can keep this one. But I found something recently."
Speaking of this, Song Ying handed over the potion that he had experimented with before. The name of the props and related introductions can be viewed here, so Song Ying doesn't need to say much and people can understand it by looking at it themselves.
The potion was passed from one person to another.
"I'm still trying this thing. I used low-level zombie crystals to suppress it. If I want a higher success rate, I'm afraid I'll need higher-level crystals. I haven't had time to experiment yet because of various unexpected plot points."
Shi Muyuan handed the thing in his hand to Song Ying and motioned her to put it away first.
"What level do I need to be to get this thing?"
Here, only Shi Muyuan and Song Ying have superpowers. Shi Muyuan is quite concerned about this. If he can do it himself, then everyone he knows will have the opportunity to obtain superpowers.
"I only tried it when I reached level 7. It consumed a lot of my own abilities."
Song Ying wasn't quite sure at which level he could reach, so he could only tell about the situation he encountered.
"Then I'll go back and try. I got a lot of level one zombie crystals before, so I think I can practice many times."
The group did not stand in the alley, but walked towards Xuanbing Mansion's house in the city. When they came out of the alley, they saw a lot of people joining in the fun at the street entrance.
There were too many people at the entrance of the alley, so Wu Sen prepared three carriages and everyone got on.
The girl got on a car by herself, and after the rest of the people got on, Qi Guang still wanted to walk towards the girl.
"What are you following here for?"
Yan Luo pushed the person out without any courtesy.
Song Ying and Mei Dong were laughing on the side. The two had been flirting with each other for days, but the window paper just didn't break.
Qi Guang couldn't get on the car, so he had to get on another car.
"You kid, you are still a monk now, do you still want Du Qing's reputation?"
Liu Zhongju smiled beside him and patted Qi Guang on the shoulder.
Everyone in the car laughed.
There was a lot of noise outside the carriage, as well as the sound of people discussing. With the guards leading the way, they didn't dare to get too close.
When passing by the government office, I found that the people who had been making a fuss at the door had dispersed, and the city had returned to its usual quietness.
Song Ying lifted the curtain and took a look outside. She could hear the voices of people around her clearly, many of whom were talking about Zong Cen.
Before, many people saw Qi Cen and his men chasing Zong Cen, and some were even brave enough to watch their fight from afar. Naturally, the news of Zong Cen's hand that could turn into tree roots was also spread.
The people who were making a fuss at the gate of the government office naturally dispersed when they heard about this. When encountering such a thing, the faster you run, the better.
"Zong Cen's story has spread."
When Yan Luo heard this, she immediately looked at Song Ying.
"Can you hear what they are saying?"
Song Ying turned his head to look at Yan Luo and Mei Dong.
"You should be able to handle this with your current bodies. You all have some special skills from practicing martial arts."
"It seems that I feel lighter when I move in this body."
Mei Dong thought about how he used this body and concentrated on using his inner strength to enhance his hearing. He instantly discovered that the sounds around him that were previously unclear could now be heard clearly.
When Mei Dong heard the sound clearly, he opened his eyes, his eyes shining, as if he had discovered something interesting.
"It's really useful. This is the first time I know of such a use."
After hearing what Mei Dong said, Yan Luo also tried it and found that it really worked.
"You know so much."
"The more you step into the story, the more memories you gain, and the more you know."
"You've been to more plot stations than all of us combined. I don't know if this is lucky or unlucky."
Mei Dong looked at Song Ying and smiled.
"Of course I am lucky. The more I know, the more I know about this world and this assessment."
Song Ying felt that it was a great fortune to be bound by Xiao Hei. Now that the rebel leader was about to be caught, their assessment would be over as soon as possible.
The sooner it ends, the more people will survive. During this period, she obtained some items that can only be unlocked after the assessment is over. They are basically some skill books or inheritances.
It can be seen that the main system does not want us to be wiped out like this.
"It's also like the supernatural potion. If you didn't have the previous plot station, you can't make the supernatural potion by yourself now."
Yan Luo looked at Song Ying with a smile as she said this.
"Don't tell me, I really did rub it with my hands."
Song Ying assumed the same posture as before when she compressed the crystal, and it really looked like she was rubbing it with her hands.
While the three of them were laughing and joking, the carriage had already entered the Xuanbing Mansion.
"Here, get out of the car."
Qi Cen's voice sounded outside the carriage. Yan Luo got off first. After getting off, he extended his hand very gentlemanly to welcome Mei Dong and Song Ying who got off behind him.
"Everyone has worked hard today. Go to the assigned rooms and take a rest first. We will have a tough battle to fight when we find Zong Cen later."
