Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.
Chapter 359 The Aberrant Forest (3)
Hearing Tang Wan's words, Su Yang looked closely and indeed found that each of the snakes had a tiny, bright red mushroom growing on its head, and one of the snakes even glanced in their direction. If you only looked at one snake, it would seem somewhat cute, but when such a group of them were huddled together and wriggling, the sight was simply chilling.
Seemingly starving for too long, the snakes ate extremely quickly, soon devouring the pieces. Instead of dispersing, they continued to entangle themselves in the same spot. Out of curiosity, the crowd just stared blankly, wondering what they were up to.
The writhing snakes seemed to have found their positions and suddenly stopped moving. Just as Su Yang was wondering what was going on, the snake pile suddenly emitted a red light. After the light intensified, it began to expand, and the mushrooms above burst open, turning into countless dust particles that enveloped the snake pile. In the shadow of the dust, the snake pile could be seen growing larger and larger, vaguely showing that it was tearing and devouring each other, gradually coalescing into a colossal creature.
Su Yang cursed inwardly that curiosity killed the cat, and hurriedly urged everyone to leave. The group ran off into the distance, and behind them, a ferocious beast was gradually emerging. Once they were far enough away, a terrifying roar echoed, followed by an earthquake, as if the unknown beast had begun to move.
They thought they were safe after escaping the snake pile, but the earth-shaking sound didn't stop. Instead, the roaring sound got closer and closer to them, and trees fell down one after another like dominoes.
Su Yang: "Oh no! They're probably chasing us! Run!"
The group quickened their pace, and after running for an unknown amount of time, the sound finally stopped.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Tang Wan gasped for breath, "That thing... has it been abandoned...?"
Huang Lewei was also exhausted: "Maybe...maybe."
"Hmph, it's fine if it chases after us again. Brother Su Yang will definitely take it down in one move!" After catching her breath slightly, Tang Wan became smug again.
However, retribution came too quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion around him, followed by the ground shaking. With a loud "bang!", a huge thing suddenly emerged from the ground nearby, splashing dirt everywhere. Upon closer inspection, the dirt was filled with slime.
A piercing shriek rang out, and a ferocious beast appeared before them. It had a snake's head, body, and tail, two claws, and was covered in scales. Upon closer inspection, countless white mycelia could be seen seeping from the gaps in the beast's scales, as if outlining its entire body. A large bulge in the middle of its body expanded and contracted like it was breathing. If Su Yang were to describe it, this monster would be very similar to the formation principle of cordyceps, and the words "snake grass" would inevitably come to mind.
The snake-like plant coiled around, its pair of green eyes glancing menacingly left and right. Its forked tongue, as thick as a human arm, kept extending and retracting, seemingly sizing up Su Yang and his companions. Thus, the beast and the five people were locked in a standoff.
The bulges on the snake grass's body seemed to be the actual controllers of this form. With a sudden expansion and contraction of the bulges, a burst of red powder mist sprayed out from the gaps in the snake grass's scales. Then, the snake grass seemed to be out of control, charging wildly towards the group.
Fortunately, Su Yang and Lin Anlan, who were the main force, had a tacit understanding. The two acted at the same time. Su Yang condensed a purple giant sword and stepped forward to defend, while Lin Anlan protected Huang Lewei and the other two and retreated. After they had moved away for a while, Lin Anlan jumped onto a tree and drew his bow to assist Su Yang.
The snake grass looked terrifying, waving its claws and attacking relentlessly, but after contact, Su Yang found it wasn't as threatening as he had imagined. Instead, it seemed to have a sense of disharmony, as if the thing inside the bulge was adapting to this body.
Although the cloud element was not very strong, Su Yang's elemental level was high enough. After several parries, he severed the snake grass's claws. Red liquid flowed from the cut. The snake grass seemed to have no pain. Without its claws, it twisted its body on the spot and attacked Su Yang with its strangely long snake tail.
Su Yang did not block, but instead wielded his giant sword to slash at the snake's head from a distance. Tang Wan behind him cried out in surprise. It turned out that the snake grass's target was not Su Yang, but rather it planned to use the length of its tail to bypass Su Yang and attack Tang Wan and the others directly. Fortunately, Lin Anlan was experienced in combat and shot two arrows that accurately hit the end of the snake's tail with such force that they even drove the snake into the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of flames erupted from the snake's tail, and Su Yang's giant sword struck the snake's head squarely, embedding itself deeply into its skull before dissipating.
Having suffered a heavy blow to the head, it was thought that the snake grass was no longer able to move. However, a few seconds later, the snake grass trembled all over, its scales rustling, and red powder mist sprayed out again, enveloping it. The two claws that had been cut off and the split head that had been split open were regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is bad..." Huang Lewei, who was watching the game, thought to himself.
Su Yang understood that a single attack would probably not be enough to kill the ferocious beast before him, so he changed his tactics and planned to inflict massive damage, cutting until its self-healing could not keep up. The "Sword Tide" was then launched.
Countless swords suddenly materialized in the air, falling rapidly like a rain curtain, severing the snake's tail, cutting off its head, and piercing its body, stirring up a cloud of dust, leaving Charles dumbfounded.
After the smoke and dust cleared, the purple swords stuck in the ground also disappeared, leaving only fragments. Lin Anlan jumped down from the tree and came to Su Yang's side: "It should be over by now, right?"
"Well, maybe."
After observing for a while and seeing that the pile of fragments did not react, the two turned and walked towards Tang Wan and the others.
Lin Anlan: "I don't know what happened to Mount Mar. It wasn't like this before. I've never seen anything like this before."
Su Yang: "Maybe the ferocious beast has evolved, who knows?"
Lin Anlan: "Once we get to Mar, let's ask the locals. Maybe they'll know the reason."
Su Yang: "Yeah, that's true."
The two walked and talked as they approached the other three, who then joined them. Suddenly, Tang Wan's surprised voice rang out: "Brother Su Yang! Look behind us!"
From her panicked expression, Su Yang could tell that something must have happened to the ferocious beast. The two of them turned around at the same time and saw that the fragments of snake grass were connected by countless white threads. The white threads moved extremely fast and soon covered all the fragments. Then all the white threads contracted back and pieced all the fragments together, showing signs of resurrection.
Su Yang naturally couldn't let this monster revive. He raised his hand and unleashed countless energy blades. However, due to his haste and excessive power output, the B-grade energy element bracelet on Su Yang's wrist shattered, causing him a pang of heartache. He had spent a lot of money to buy it back in Huaijing.
The air blade once again meticulously sliced through the body that was about to regenerate. This time, after being struck, the white threads not only did not disappear, but immediately turned red and reconnected with the threads scattered on the ground. They quickly gathered the fragments of the snake grass's body together, intending to regenerate it once more.
Upon seeing this, Huang Lewei exclaimed, "Oh no! It feels like the recovery speed is even faster than before!"
