As Leonix, I just want to play badly.

Chapter 118: Guarding Zijera

Dongfang Su's mouth twitched. Judging from how harshly she had dealt with Dagu just now, the others probably weren't feeling well either.

It now seems that Qijiela's pollen is only effective on Earthlings. Is there some other secret behind this?
Dongfang Su pointed at the Qijiela flower in the storage box and said, "Harlan, can you study its pollen and find an antidote?"

Harlan lowered his head in thought, looking troubled. After a while, he said, "It's a bit difficult. After all, this is not my area of ​​expertise, but there may be a way to dig a well."

Dongfang Su nodded. This request was indeed difficult for her. Digging the well would not wake up for a while. In this case, she could only choose to uproot Qijiela.

After instructing Haran to take care of everyone, Dongfang Su also rushed to the battlefield between Tiga and Zijera.

As night fell and the effects of the Zijera pollen weakened, everyone in the base gradually woke up.

Juejing opened his eyes in a daze, and felt pain all over his body, as if he had fallen from a height of several meters.

Just when he wanted to move his body, he was suddenly stunned, because he didn't know who had tied him to the load-bearing pillar with a rope, and the same thing happened to Sohō and Shinjo beside him.

Not only them, but many staff members in the base are like this as well.

"What exactly is going on?"

He now had only one thought in his mind, that the base had been invaded.

"What are you arguing about?" Xincheng said sleepily.

"What's going on? Who did this? Where are my clothes?"

"Help!"

……

As darkness enveloped the earth, Zijera's skin, covered with hard bark, glowed with a deep green light.

Its body is towering into the clouds, with three huge vine tentacles swaying in the darkness, and its golden buds are about to bloom. As soon as the first ray of morning light arrives tomorrow, the world will completely fall under its rule.

The streets were no longer as lively as before, and the air was filled with decadence after the madness. After the illusion returned to reality, people even fought over a flaming lily that looked like Zigela growing in the grass.

As soon as Tiga appeared, he assumed a fighting stance towards Zijera. His two goose egg-sized milky white eyes seemed to be the only hope left in the endless darkness.

Dongfang Su stood alone on a tall building with his hands behind his back, observing the battle all the time.

Zijera felt Tiga's hostility, and he kept waving three vines nearly a hundred meters long in front of him to guard against Tiga's attack.

Just as Tiga was about to take action, a burst of noise forced him to stop. He looked at the tens of thousands of people under his feet in disbelief.

Looking at the people under his feet, Tiga was at a loss for a moment.

They all stood in front of Tiga, clasped their hands together, and kept praying that Tiga not to destroy Zijla.

"No, Tiga, don't destroy Zigela."

"That's our Zijella."

"Diga, don't."

There were even many people in the crowd who, regardless of the danger to their lives, ran to Zijera step by step, discarded their dignity, and knelt before it, hoping to get Zijera's pollen again. Zijera's pollen was like a drug to these people. As long as they got a little bit of it, they would be immersed in the so-called beautiful dream and could never quit.

Real life is always more or less unsatisfactory, but dreams are not like that. Everything will go according to one's own wishes. There are no moral and legal constraints, and all one's ideals and wishes will come true.

It is so ironic that just for something so illusory, humans would go against their own guardians and protect something that is going to destroy them.

Dongfang Su's expression was equally solemn. Only by experiencing it personally could one realize the terrible influence that Qijiela has on humans.

Lu Ke came to Dongfang Su's side without knowing when, looked at the scene in the distance with a smile, and said: "In the super ancient times, there were also some poor people who tried to do the same thing, but the result was still the same."

"The desires in the human heart are deeper than the roots of Zijella."

Dongfang Su glanced at him and said coldly: "Oh, really?"

Lu Ke looked again and was stunned. He saw Tiga jump lightly over the crowd, and then chopped Zijera's flower bud with a knife, sparks flying.

At the same time, Zijera let out a shrill roar, and the vines kept hitting Tiga, but without exception, he dodged them all with his nimble body.

Zijera is fundamentally a plant, rooted in the ground. His body cannot be as agile as Tiga's, so he can only stand still and defend passively.

That’s not all. Tiga flipped over and rolled over from time to time, dodging at the same time. Various light blades, light bullets, and light skills kept bombarding Zijera’s flower bud.

Sparks burst out from Zijera's body and roars continued.

Luke stared at the scene with eyes wide open in disbelief, muttering, "You are the first Ultraman of Light to interfere with human choices, Tiga."

In his opinion, the basis of the existence of the Giant of Light is the light in the human heart. Once abandoned by humans, the light will lose the source of its power and naturally cease to exist.

But Dagu's existence was truly beyond his understanding.

Although Zijera is a plant, it still has a certain amount of brains. Seeing that its vine whip could not do anything to Tiga, it seized the opportunity and took advantage of Tiga rolling in the air. The huge flower bud immediately opened and sprayed all the stored pollen onto Tiga's face.

"Boom."

Tiga was unable to dodge and fell heavily to the ground.

The situation immediately reversed. Zijera used one of its tentacle to wrap around Tiga's ankle and lifted him up. The other two vine whips were also not idle. They attacked Tiga from the front and back and kept whipping him.

"Pah, sizzle..."

Sparks flew, Tiga's body kept twitching, and Daigu was not feeling well either. As a human, he could also feel the pain that Ultraman was suffering.

Zijera did not give Tiga any chance to resist. One of his tentacle tightly strangled Tiga's neck to prevent him from breaking free, and the remaining vines whipped Tiga's chest fiercely.

After a while, the timer on his chest began to flash red.

Lu Ke looked at this scene, as if he had expected it. He shook his head and said, "After 30 million years, the Earth still hasn't escaped from this terrible death curse."

"That's not necessarily true." Dongfang Su looked up at the night sky with a determined look.

Then, under Lu Ke's astonished gaze, he slowly took out the Dark Spark Prism. Under the moonlight, every outline was clearly visible, as if it was covered with a layer of silver gauze, emitting a mysterious light.

Feeling the familiar breath coming from the Dark Light Rod, Lu Ke couldn't help but take several steps back.
