Infinite Doomsday Survival System

Chapter 473 The Wooden Man
The next day's work went relatively smoothly.

After all, everyone is used to this task, and the cleanup is more professional.

The speed was also much faster than yesterday. Without any accidents, they reached the end reached yesterday at noon.

By the way, the regrown vegetation was also cleaned up to prevent them from turning into a jungle again.

During the break, they returned to the previous crater.

Although I don't know what's going on here, those plants don't dare to approach here, and it can also be used as a place to rest.

At the same time, they also reported the matter here to the association, and just today, the association sent people to investigate.

If this is really an area that cannot be invaded by vegetation, then building a safety zone here is also a good choice.

But when I think about it carefully, this idea is still too unrealistic.

There may be nothing now, but before long, this area will be surrounded by vegetation. If you want to leave here to answer the city, you must open up another road.

It takes a lot of power to go back and forth every time.

And there is nothing worth exploring here, and it is almost unrealistic to build any equipment here.

But building a temporary rest house is still a good choice. After all, it is too troublesome to have to return to the city to rest every time you perform a clearing mission. If you can rest in this place, it will be much more convenient.

But the premise is to confirm that this place is absolutely safe. If there is a super scary monster here, all their efforts will be in vain.

But there is nothing to worry about now. According to the report of the inspectors, there is nothing special here. The most special thing should be the powerful energy traces left after the destruction.

Although I don't know what destroyed it, it seems to be a good choice to use it as a temporary resting place.

As for why those plants are so afraid of this place, it should be because of the smell.

The specifics are unclear, but it is not harmful to humans. After the investigation, they began construction in this area.

As for Aska and the others, after taking a short rest, they immediately threw themselves into work.

After all, according to that speed, the ghost knows how long it will take to complete the task, and you have to work twice as hard.

With the continuous work, Aska was already exhausted and paralyzed, and almost didn't know what he was doing.

Lucy was a little better, but also out of breath.

In comparison, the Emperor and the others had nothing to do. They were out of breath and continued to work, as if their physical strength was endless.

Although this mission is simple, it requires too much endurance, so Tianlan chose some heroes with very strong endurance to carry out this work.

For example, War Weapon No. 13 can continue to work as long as there is sufficient energy, without any need to consider wear and tear.

The metals used in the war weapons are all unknown synthetic metals, with very little wear and tear, and also have a certain self-recovery ability, so the wear and tear of this level is almost negligible.

Although Hercules and Ares are humans, they cannot compare to Aska and the others in terms of endurance.

Their physical strength was simply a mystery. They kept swinging the axes in their hands to chop down trees without any sign of fatigue.

This is especially true for the emperor. So far, Aska has never seen the emperor panting, as if fatigue does not exist for him.

Another day of high-intensity work, the area cleaned up today is more than twice that of yesterday.

The view from the end is very spectacular.

There were still no accidents today, and the calmness made the veterans feel weird.

One must know that as usual, it has already turned into a melee, and it is impossible to end so peacefully.

Hope it's not a bad unfolding this time around.

On the third day, according to Verhel, we should be able to see the sea today.

After knowing this, Aska was extremely excited, even Gamma was the same.

It's just that when we came to the jungle area today, a change occurred on the scene.

Everything was so sudden, as if it was doomed from the beginning, or it was always like this from the beginning.

Man-eating plants in the depths of the jungle have left the jungle, and it's not unusual for things like this to happen before.

But what is really strange is that the fruit appears.

That's right, it's the fruit. There is no such thing as fruit in this jungle. All plants reproduce through rhizomes, and they will not bloom at all, let alone bear fruit.

But now the fruit has appeared, which even the emperor who often performs this task is a little surprised.

This was also the first time they saw such an obvious expression on the emperor's face.

"There won't be anything bad going on, right?" After all, it was the first time he encountered such a situation, and Wilhelm would inevitably feel a little worried.

Regarding this, the emperor also shook his head. He has been stationed on the southern border for three or four years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

By the way, although the emperor is so strong and mature, his actual age is only 25 years old, he just looks older.

It has only been five years since I became a hero. I have been stationed here for three or four years, and this is the first time I have encountered such an unknown situation.

"Do you want to report to the association?"

The meeting was held not long ago, and it was said that in case of any special circumstances, it should be reported to the association. Without permission, it is not allowed to act rashly.

The emperor nodded. Even though he is the first in A-level, in this jungle, he is just a baby, and he will be killed if he is not careful.

Besides, he absolutely obeyed the orders of the association.

For new heroes, the credibility of the association is quite high, almost believing what the association says.

After all, under Tian Lan's rule, many things are not kept secret, and there is no need to spend any means to know them.

Like the relationship between the weirdo and the hero, almost every hero knows it, and it's not as hypocritical as the previous association.

After making a decision, they planned to retreat and wait for the association to notify them before taking action.

But just as they were about to leave, the man-eating plants moved.

Countless thorn-like vines stretched out from under the huge fruit, spreading towards them at an extremely fast speed.

So fast, it only takes a few minutes to bury all the areas they have previously cleared.

It can be said that the efforts of these two days were almost in vain.

Seeing such a situation, everyone frowned.

It's fine if you just bury the area you cleared earlier, but if you don't, you're in trouble.

If it continues to spread at this rate, the city will also be threatened and must be stopped here.

The emperor and others launched a defensive posture, intending to stop these vines.

At the same time, the emperor did not forget to say to Aska and the others: "We don't need the little devils here, disappear quickly!"

On the flip side of the good, you guys go, let's fend off these vines.

Of course, Lucy has no objection to this. She already hates the profession of hero. If they want to stay now, then let them stay. She will not accompany them.

However, at this moment, the ground behind them suddenly cracked, and ignorant rhizomes mixed with vines protruded from the ground, completely cutting off all their escape routes.

Faced with this situation, the emperor, Ares, and Hercules used their strength at the same time, directly blowing away, cutting and burning the surrounding vines, opening a way for Aska and the others to jump.

"Get out of here quickly, this is not a place you little devils can take!"

They had to protect the little ghosts while blocking these vines. They couldn't take care of them, so they could only tell Aska and the others to leave quickly.

Although it's a little uncomfortable to be said that, but in this situation, it doesn't matter what you say, in short, ensure your own safety first.

Aska and the others, led by War Weapon, began to retreat, not to cause them any more trouble.

But before they retreated far, several wooden stakes were thrown out from the vines, hitting them right in front of them, blocking their way again.

If it was just ordinary wooden piles, it would be nothing, but these wooden piles began to tremble after being smashed to the ground.

The wooden stake began to grow, but it didn't take root. After a while, a human-shaped wooden figure appeared in front of Aska and the others.

"Damn it! It turned out to be a wooden man. How far has this jungle grown!"

The war weapon scolded angrily, without any mechanical feeling at all.

Wooden figures like this have appeared before, but not as many as now, and not as human-like as they are now.

The wooden figures in the past were just pieces of wood spliced ​​together to imitate human movements.

Now, although these wooden figures have not reached the level of lifelikeness, the facial features have appeared, their movements are more flexible, and they even use some wooden weapons.

The specific degree of harm is not very great, but it is very troublesome.

Any wooden figurine is as tough as sticking out of those trees, and ordinary people can't destroy it at all. The beam saber in Lucy's hand can only cause damage to the extent of scratching.

And this kind of damage is nothing at all, and it will recover in an instant. These wooden figures, even if they are cut in half, can split into two individuals, which is very difficult to deal with.

As for the toughness of the trees, I have never had a real sense of it before, so now I will use an analogy to explain it.

Probably Aska, who transformed into a giant of light, can chop down fifteen trees with a light saber.

With the continuous deepening, the number of cut trees has not decreased, but the speed has dropped significantly. It takes one second at the beginning, and slowly increases to two seconds.

As for the trees in the depths, any one of them is several times larger than Askar. It would take at least three blows to cut down even one tree with one strike of the lightsaber.

Now we can see the difficulty of these wooden figures.

Not only is the resilience strong, but even the tenacity is invincible.

However, it is precisely these trees that are tough enough to be used in a variety of places.
