The crack this time was particularly large, more than ten meters long and nearly one meter wide.
What came out of the crack was still a vine, but it was dozens of centimeters in diameter and dozens of meters in length. The whole body is purple-black, with numerous root-like things growing on the surface. The densest part of the "roots" has dark pimple-like protrusions, like eyes.
It looks like this vine looks like the tentacles of some terrifying ancient gods in the Crusu world.
The vines flicked violently, forcing the three of them into the attack range. The invisible force field was released, causing Richard and the three of them to be attracted uncontrollably, and they had to use very strong force to resist.
Obviously, unless the three of them get rid of this vine, it will be difficult for the three of them to get rid of the entanglement and chase the escaping informant like before.
The three of them looked at each other, understood this, and quickly reached a consensus.
Holo's body shook, and dense reddish-brown gas burst out from the pores of her body. These gases gathered densely and condensed into Holo's bodies one after another.
Just like a shadow clone technique, dozens of Holos appeared on the scene in just a moment.
Dozens of Holos were suspended in mid-air, all raising their hands and aiming at the vines.
"call out!"
Dozens of high-energy red rays of light were emitted, accurately hitting the same location on the vine—a bulge in the lower middle.
"Boom!"
There was an explosion, and a huge hole was blasted out of the vine. A large amount of dark green juice shot out in all directions, falling to the ground and emitting white smoke, exuding a pungent sour smell.
Under this attack, the vine seemed to have intelligence, and a hissing sound came from the depths of the crack, obviously it was seriously injured.
However, the vine did not flinch, and swung it violently, crushing more than a dozen figures of Holo, forcing Holo to duck and dodge, and then hit Bobo Bo Vicki.
Bobo Bovich looked at it, his eyes widened slightly, without fear, he put his hand into his arms and took out the grass-green potion again.
Compared with the previous ones, this potion was darker in color and had a larger dose. Bobo Bovich pulled out the stopper, raised his neck and drank it in one gulp.
Visible to the naked eye, Bobo Bo Vicki's originally light green skin turned dark green, and even his hair and eyebrows were affected, turning green little by little. At this time, he looked like a person completely transformed from a plant.
This was not over yet. After his whole body was dyed green, a popping sound was heard from the spine behind Popobo Vicki. He suddenly jumped up, his shoulders expanded, and his arms stretched.
"Boohoo!"
At the end of both arms, ten fingers quickly popped out slender nails. Each nail was five or six centimeters long, appeared silver-gray, and shone like a metal edge.
The vine that was coming was already in front of him, and Bobo Bovich faced it with eyes wide open. He grabbed the surface of the vine with both hands, and with a sudden force, it penetrated deeply into the skin of the vine. Then the strength exploded, tearing off a large piece of the structure weighing dozens of kilograms.
Below the crack, the vines hissed again.
After the neighing, the vines seemed to be angry, and the root-like parts on the surface suddenly grew, grabbing everything around them crazily. At the same time, dark red blood flowed out from the part that resembled the eye, and it actually opened slowly—just like a real eye.
Richard looked at it, waved his hand, and many light spots emerged and condensed, forming three Longtonic guns in front of his body.
He raised his hand and slashed it forward, and three shining Longtonic guns flew out, two of them pierced the lower part of the vine, and one of them pierced the vine's eye that was about to open.
Three small round holes appeared. After a short delay, dazzling light burst out from each of the round holes.
Each beam of light is the projection of a vassal spear. At this moment, there are 30,000 vassal spears attacking the vines.
"hiss!"
The part of the vine below the crack let out an extremely miserable howl, and the part on the ground began to melt little by little in the strong light. Finally, in a pure white light, it completely evaporated and disappeared.
The vines were dealt with.
However, for the first time, Richard and the other three did not have happy expressions. The reason was simple. Looking around, they saw that the informants who were chasing them had taken this opportunity to run away without a trace.
"It seems that the real culprit of this withered forest attaches great importance to the spy. In order to ensure that the spy brings the news back, there are more arrangements than we imagined." Richard said.
"Then what do we do now?" Popobo Veitch asked, "continue to go deeper?"
"The spy has been lost. We can't take shortcuts to find the culprit. If we want to find him, we can only continue to go deeper." Holo said, looking at Richard for confirmation, "right, Wizard Richard?"
"Almost." Richard nodded and said, "Let's go."
"Yeah." Richard, Bobo Bo Vicki and Holo left together.
…
Dozens of minutes after Richard and the others left, the escaping spy arrived in front of a giant tree in the withered forest.
Looking over, he saw that the so-called eyeliner was nothing more than a skinny monkey riding on a gray wolf.
The monkey controlled the gray wolf to stop, jumped to the ground, crawled down on the ancient tree next to it, and screamed strangely.
"Kakaka!"
Amid the strange cries of the monkeys, the ancient tree seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, its bark twisted, and a vague human face appeared. There is a bottomless tree hole the size of a basin, which is the mouth.
"Huhuhu..."
The dusty wind blows out of the tree hole, and the surrounding air surges, as if the ancient tree is talking.
The monkey screamed even more enthusiastically after hearing it. While shouting, he danced and tried to explain.
The faces on the tree trunk changed slowly. After listening for a while, they seemed a little impatient. A branch hung down, rolled up the monkey and threw it directly into his mouth.
"squeak!"
The monkey screamed in fear, but after just one scream, it disappeared into the bottomless tree hole.
"call-"
The wind blew out of the tree hole again, this time with rich blood.
The face of the tree trunk was thoughtful, and he understood something, but he was still a little confused. His eyes turned and looked at the gray wolf that was once ridden by a monkey.
The gray wolf felt the danger, arched his body, and gathered strength in his limbs, preparing to escape. As a demonized creature that has mutated many times, it is extremely fast. As long as it can run, almost nothing can catch up with it.
But before it had time to exert its strength, it fell to the ground with a "pop".
I saw many slender, green grasses coming out of the ground around it, wrapping around its body like thin threads.
One or two sticks are nothing, and more than ten sticks will only take a little effort to break free, but if the number reaches thousands, it will be enough to bring down a giant beast, let alone a mutated demonized gray wolf that is only good at speed but not good at strength. .
The gray wolf was entangled in numerous grasses and was firmly fixed on the ground. It opened its mouth and screamed in terror.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, numerous threads of grass entered his mouth, rushing deep into his throat in a panic.
"Ugh, vomit, vomit!"
The gray wolf struggled violently.
