252: Chapter 233: Breaking Through the Siege 252: Chapter 233: Breaking Through the Siege The flat ground turned into a grassland, and the ruins turned into a dense green forest. When everything in sight turns green, it is also when the Gardener completely controls the “world.” Underground, the spreading “bloodstains” reveal their true nature. The seemingly fragile blood-colored vines are everywhere, longing for the blood and flesh of their prey every moment… When you can only run on the backs of giants, no matter how fast you run, being swallowed is only a matter of time. “… Is this the usual tactic of a high-level Gardener?” In Lu Ping’an’s view, Liu Zibei hides among the giant trees in the forest, not intending to attack at all. He just keeps catalyzing more and more Tree-men, constantly transforming the environment, and continuously casting “Hostility Marker” on himself… An enormous army is sweeping through, and just the aftermath alone is almost too much for Lu Ping’an to handle. As for Fang Wen, who is being targeted and surrounded by several “Parasitic Tree-men”… Lu Ping’an doubts she can last much longer. If they were both in their prime, their difference in strength would be minimal, but now one is barely hanging on, while the other has been preparing for a long time, his army not wearing down whatsoever… This just goes to show his cunningness. Other “participants” came here alone upon receiving the news, and strictly blocked the leakage of information, fearing that it would invite more troublesome competitors. However, Liu Zibei skipped his own subordinates and found two good fourth-tier masters to act as his henchmen. He has always maintained a cooperative relationship with the “Official Secret Keeper,” avoiding unnecessary battle losses as much as possible. Now, when he unleashes his entire army, the scene is one of despair. He does not have to be proactive, command, or even observe his opponent; just continually expanding his army and sending his “Tree-men” into the battlefield is enough to ensure the harvest one day. “Boom!” The ground cracks open again, and this time, Lu Ping’an is almost caught by the blood-colored vines below. As time goes on and the “bloodstains” expand underground, the whole area gradually becomes its territory, becoming even more dangerous. “Try eating this.” A bottle of silver potion is tossed out by Lu Ping’an, a large amount of “potion” smearing the vines, rapidly spreading and withering them to the point of extinction at visible speed. With guidance from the big cat, Lu Ping’an’s little jars and bottles were never short of various strengthening poisons and weed killers. “… This is expensive, and it’s ineffective so quickly?” Unfortunately, the vines wither slightly before having no further effect… According to the elixirs Lu Ping’an can get, their usefulness is a bit low for dealing with such fourth-tier super Magic Plants. What’s even more despairing is Liu Zibei is still continuing, and his Magic Plants are still being laid out. Above ground, forests are being constructed every moment, as vines connect from one tree to another, roots intertwining beneath, and the “green quagmire” on the ground deepening. If it was an ordinary forest a few minutes ago, now it resembles the muddy swamps and ancient tree communities of the Amazon rainforest. The environment has become the enemy, the earth a trap, and even staying on the sidelines may result in being entangled and torn by the trees. As for the strongest “Aging Poison” Lu Ping’an possesses, whether it is effective or not doesn’t matter, as it would only benefit the enemy. The simple “Hostility Marker” Abnormal Ability makes all creatures in the forest madly attack Lu Ping’an. The Gardener doesn’t even have to command, simply waiting for the “Weaker” to die. There is no need to point out the types and individual characteristics of these Magic Plants, because there are too many types and powerful individuals mixed in with the army, making it unnecessary to guide them. Alone, Lu Ping’an sees an army, even an entire world. The only thing to be thankful for is that their speed hasn’t gotten any faster… The physiological structure of plants and Tree-men determines they are not suited for pursuit battles. In mid-air, Fang Wen is experiencing a fierce attack. Her Hostility Marker is dozens of times that of Lu Ping’an, and she undertakes most of the offensive. Lu Ping’an is just experiencing some of the aftermath and is already struggling to endure. At this moment, she demonstrates her strength as a sixth-tier “warrior”… Beast Tamer. Her liquid metal body does not arbitrarily transform; her high-frequency vibrating arm blades easily cut through the Magic Monsters blocking her path, while her collapsible wings and flamethrowers demonstrate almost counterintuitive mobility. Yet, she remains focused on Liu Zibei’s true form. Everyone knows that against an army-type Beast Tamer and Gardener, eliminating the true form is the only solution. But she cannot get through. A large number of special individuals and Parasitic Trees block her path, the towering ancient trees and Tree-men control her flight and glide route, and the “bloodstains” on the ground make her afraid to even land. Seeing this continue, the only outcome would be death by exhaustion, yet Lu Ping’an merely observed in silence. Was he out of tricks and abilities? No, he was merely observing whether Fang Wen had reached her limit or not. As long as she lost “Silver War,” her last high-level battle-pet, she would completely lose the possibility of winning the battle. “Has she not reached her limit yet? Does she still have hidden measures?” In a certain sense, Lu Ping’an’s performance was very much within the “Mother Goddess Cult’s” style. Due to the era, the development of flying machinery in this world hadn’t been advanced. Even for someone like Fang Wen with her mechanical unit, her flight capabilities consisted of a “Mechanical Bird” instead of an “airplane.” Considering the heavy weight of the liquid metal, her flight abilities seemed quite delicate in Lu Ping’an’s eyes. Now, when she had to allocate more than half of her operations for self-preservation, she was pressured by attacks from above, below, left, and right. A Beast Tamer without a battle-pet was just a bigger infantryman. Even if she still had so-called Sixth-tier combat power, it would be the lowest among the Sixth-tier. “Boom!” Finally, she was entangled by vines, dragged down, and then tackled by countless unique individual creatures. “Boom!” With another loud rumble, accompanied by an explosion and fire, countless Magic Plants turned into fragments. In the ruins, a silver human figure stood alone, only that her flesh had disappeared in a large chunk. She tried to turn her flesh into wings and forcedly fly, but the area had been sealed off again, leaving no time for her to build up speed to take off. With her extreme speed and mobility, there was no chance she could break out of the encirclement. “Stop resisting.” A sudden voice came from behind. The thrown “baton” performed short-range teleportation, as Lu Ping’an supported for the first time since the battle began. He touched Fang Wen, holding a small piece of paper in his hand. [Abnormal Ability Borrowing Contract (Black Iron): The buyer can use the seller’s Talent Ability usage quota. The minimum price of this contract is 200 Life-points, with 100 automatically deducted as Life Bank’s processing fee. Current borrowing object: Guan Xinxian, use quota: 3/3, single use time: 10 seconds.] At least 200 Life-points for only 10 seconds of using someone else’s ability (Black Iron or lower) might not be very cost-efficient, but in some situations, it could save lives. “Abnormal Ability: Gravity Control…” In an instant, enhanced by the Heavenly Boots, the high-level Feathering Transformation was fully activated, and the “Gravity Control” ability drastically reduced Lu Ping’an and Fang Wen’s “weight.” “Boom!” Instantly, the four “nitrogen acceleration” jet nozzles under his feet were all activated, and flames erupted from beneath them. In the next moment, Lu Ping’an, carrying Fang Wen, turned into a rocket, taking off from a standstill! A badass flying kick didn’t happen, but a badass rocket jump immediately stepped onto the stage! Lu Ping’an and Fang Wen became a two-person team bathed in flowing flames, drawing a strange arc as they shot up at high speed. The reaction speed of the Magic Plants was still half a beat slow, and their interceptions fell behind. Once the silver “rocket combination” flew beyond the upper limit of the dense forest’s height, they also flew out of the encirclement. “Crack!” Finally freeing up some space, Fang Wen transformed into a bird. In midair, she struggled for a bit, then, as she fell diagonally, she dragged Lu Ping’an towards the direction of the nearby altars. Who would want to fight trench warfare with a high-level Gardener? Only fools would! If you have the guts, chase us! Only idiots would engage in costly battles in the forest. Next, as Liu Zibei scrambled to adjust his “plant nursery,” preparing for pursuit, a “fool” boldly entered the deadly forest. “A follower of the Lady of the Forest? Filthy and stupid fools, daring to disturb my grand moment…” The “Big Cat,” dragging a mutilated piece of flesh, swaggered into the forest. Now, it was Liu Zibei’s turn to shiver.
