Chapter 268: Pincer Attack

The deeper they went, the more traces of war the group saw; the entire corridor was pitch-black, and under the illumination of the headlights, they could clearly see a large amount of viscous green liquid.

Zhao Yuxin collected a bit of this mucus to study on her Portable Plant Research Table.

The four vehicles drove through this pitch-black corridor for nearly an hour, and the oppressive atmosphere made Zhang Moxin the first to lose her patience, grumbling in the vehicle, "Sister, when are we going to finish charging?"

"Shut up!"

Zhang Mofeng's reprimand made Zhang Moxin quiet down again, and also made the hearts of the others jump into their throats.

At this moment, Zhao Yuxin, while studying the composition of the liquid, shouted to everyone, "Everyone pay attention, there is a huge room ahead; there might be danger there."

Liu Yuchang: "How do you know? Isn't there still a corner ahead?"

Zhao Yuxin: "Because I can use sonic positioning."

Liu Yuchang: "Oh, so you're a human sonar!"

…………………

When the group drove to the room Zhao Yuxin mentioned, they saw weapons scattered everywhere inside, countless cabinets, tables, and chairs overturned, and documents strewn about, yet not a single corpse could be seen.

At this time, Zhao Yuxin warned, "Everyone be careful, the monsters are only the size of a grain of rice, but they are numerous and fast; the quantity at the eight o'clock position is the smallest."

"The smallest quantity?" Huang Jing couldn't help but exclaim, "You mean to say these little things occupy the entire room?"

"That's right, they are staring at us right now." Zhao Yuxin's words echoed in everyone's minds, and they gathered into a circle to observe their surroundings.

Zhang Mofeng also provided shared vision, pointing out where she found suspicious spots: "Everyone pay attention to this furniture; the green moss on it is the monster Miss Zhao mentioned."

Immediately, she concentrated her attention, continuously zooming in on the shared image, and only then did the group see clearly what these so-called mosses actually were.

Name: Corpse Moss

Type: Plant, Dark

Introduction: Cheap foot soldiers created by Plant Archmage Jiemodala, skilled at casting mental-type skills on targets; because of their small size and entirely green bodies, they often make prey think they are just ordinary moss.

Liu Yuchang: "With so many Corpse Moss, even if they stood there for us to kill, we wouldn't be able to finish them off."

Li Yue: "That's true, these Corpse Moss are just sitting there motionless; they probably think we haven't discovered them yet, so they are pretending to be moss."

At this moment, the Snake Vine hanging on the vehicle aimed a flower at a table and sprayed out a large amount of yellow mist.

The Corpse Moss that came into contact with the mist immediately felt a wave of exhaustion wash over them and collapsed onto the table, unable to move.

This action made everyone break out in a cold sweat, and Zhao Yuxin even frowned as she asked, "Ajiu, did you order the Snake Vine to do that?"

Zhu Zhiquan turned his head and pointed at himself, staring at Zhao Yuxin with wide eyes. The others also looked at their tricycle, as if questioning why they didn't ask for their opinions before doing such a thing.

Zhang Mofeng even snorted coldly and immediately began reversing, ready to drive away with her sister if any problems arose, even if it meant abandoning the exploration of this Dungeon.

The Snake Vine also sprayed some mist onto other surrounding furniture; the Corpse Moss on these pieces of furniture immediately went limp, only able to tremble their bodies as they tried to move.

Next, the Snake Vine extended its vines and sprayed the Corpse Moss behind the furniture. The other Corpse Moss watched the prey standing in place, looking at them with anticipation.

It wasn't until the Snake Vine sprayed the paralyzing mist onto them that they realized they had been discovered.

After the Snake Vine paralyzed a certain area of Corpse Moss, it tapped on the driver's cab window, signaling him to move forward.

Zhu Zhiquan immediately stepped on the gas and drove the tricycle forward at a low speed. The others also drove their tricycles behind him, and soon they left the room and arrived at a fork in the corridor.

Zhu Zhiquan then stopped at the junction, and the others also stopped one after another to ask Zhao Yuxin which path to take.

Zhao Yuxin: "Both paths lead to other rooms, but we must hurry, because the paralysis effect on the Corpse Moss will expire soon, and we might be caught in a pincer attack by then."

Zhang Mofeng: "How large of an area can you perceive?"

Zhao Yuxin: "The limit is three kilometers, but this Underground Military Camp is too big; I feel the entire area of the Underground Military Camp far exceeds three kilometers."

Liu Yuchang: "Which side is more dangerous?"

Zhao Yuxin: "The left."

Chen Ligang then said decisively, "Then we go right, and quickly clear the danger."

Afterward, they walked toward the right passage, and less than a minute after they left, the paralysis effect on the Corpse Moss in the previous room wore off, and they immediately let out shrill cries.

This cry was heard clearly by everyone, and immediately after, Zhao Yuxin heard the room on the left also emit tiny cries, followed by rustling sounds coming from both rooms.

Hearing the commotion, the group immediately accelerated and rushed into the second room; before they could even observe carefully, they immediately got out of their vehicles to move various sundries to pile up at the entrance, and even Xuebao participated in blocking the door.

The speed of the Corpse Moss was very fast; the moment they sealed the door, they heard the sound of the Corpse Moss gnawing on the furniture.

At this time, Huang Jing drew behind the piled-up furniture, then placed a few Magic Cores on it; with a wave of her finger, a four-pointed star Magic Array appeared before their eyes.

Zhao Yuxin recognized it at a glance and said, "Isn't this the Magic Array used previously to shake off the pursuit of the Evil Doba Demon Tree?"

Zhang Mofeng said speechlessly, "Now is not the time to talk about this; hurry up and look at this."

Under the illumination of the headlights, there was a giant tree on a scrapped armored vehicle; its roots pierced through the entire armored vehicle, and it bore fruits that looked like human faces.

Name: Human-Faced Cave Locust

Type: Plant, Dark

Introduction: An evil demon tree created by Plant Archmage Jiemodala; the greatest characteristic of this demon tree is that it grows in dark nests and often attacks living beings that pass by.

"Pah! What is this! It's just a tree; watch how I smash you!" Chen Ligang said as he took out his Meteor Hammer and launched an attack at the Human-Faced Cave Locust.

Boom!

Chen Ligang's Meteor Hammer hit the trunk with a dull thud, and the Human-Faced Cave Locust only trembled slightly.

Feeling the attack, the fruits on the Human-Faced Cave Locust fell one after another, turning into green foot soldiers with appearances no different from ordinary people, charging at them like a group of zombies.

At the same time, the furniture piled up at the back was completely gnawed through by the Corpse Moss, causing the debris to collapse, and one Corpse Moss after another poured in from the corridor.

Huang Jing, who was preparing the second Magic Array, frowned and thought to herself, "It's too late!" She then retreated first.

Zhao Yuxin also released a large number of Combat Plants and quickly set up firepower through the Hook-Lock Tree Demon, forcing the Corpse Moss to only take the path of the Magic Array.

As the Corpse Moss in the lead stepped into the Magic Array, the array immediately emitted a dazzling light, sucking in every intruder.

Coupled with the fact that these Corpse Moss could not fly and the firepower blockade of Zhao Yuxin's plants, the Corpse Moss could not get through for a while.
