‘What?!’ How could Tang Susu let them come here? The danger here was unpredictable. She didn’t know what trouble would come next. Hongyan Forest, which was also known as the “Forest of Death”, was not a place that could be taken so lightly.
‘Is there any way to stop them? Quick, buy me something and tell them… Right, the radio!’ Tang Susu was so anxious that she almost had a panic attack.
At this moment, 008 suddenly shouted, ‘Watch out!’
Tang Susu reflexively darted away, but something still pierced her skin, causing her to bend over in pain.
‘The Dendrocnide Moroides… these are the thorns of the Gympie-Gympie! It will pierce into the skin to release its venom which could remain effective for decades. It can be so painful that people can’t fall asleep!’
“Stop. Enough.” Tang Susu opened her mouth with difficulty. No need to describe it, she had already felt how terrible the pain was.
It was said that during World War II, an officer accidentally touched the leaf of a Gympie-Gympie. In the end, he was in so much pain that he shot himself.
Tang Susu even wanted to do that to stop the indescribable pain.
Before she could ask if there was a solution, 008 exclaimed, ‘You must leave this place quickly! There are Gympie-Gympie all over the place! After their mutation, the thorns became so small that they could even be inhaled into the respiratory tract. There won’t be a cure for that and it can take your life immediately!’
Tang Susu’s expression changed and she hurriedly grabbed the others. At this time, they had already regained their consciousness and were very confused. “What the hell? Why are we here?”
“Hurry and leave! The Gympie-Gympie’s thorns can get sucked into your respiratory tract and kill you!” She endured the pain, grabbed Luodeng with her left hand, grabbed the director with her right hand, and quickly ran away.
The director almost choked. “Gym… Gympie-Gympie?!”
Eighth was only a step slower when he felt something fall on his neck. It was prickly. After a while, he grunted. The young man who had experienced so much in life was in so much pain that he fell on one leg!
More of the thorns danced in the air around him, invisible to the naked eye.
Tang Susu hurriedly tried to use her Aerokinesis to blow them away, but even though she had extraordinary eyesight and could see things normally in the dark, she couldn’t see every single one of them.
If she was not careful, it might backfire and she could blow them toward her own companions!
■008!’
008 instantly bought her a special optical brightener. When she blew it over with her Aerokinesis, the prickly thorns immediately became visible. They floated in the air like dandelion seeds, but they were many times smaller!
Eighth, who was enduring the pain and ran away, turned around and see that “beautiful” scene. He was terrified. Fortunately, he ran away fast enough. Otherwise, he would have been swallowed by those disgusting things!
He could guarantee that if it reached that point, he would commit suicide without a doubt!
Tang Susu had only used her superpower for a moment when she felt a piercing pain in her heart. Lu Yunxiang, who was beside her, was so frightened that she hurriedly used her Aerokinesis, which she was not very familiar with, to help Tang Susu as well.
However, more and more golden bark tree thorns drifted into the air, almost surrounding them.
Tang Susu pursed her lips and used her superpower again to forcefully open a path.
This time, she no longer blew away the thorns. Instead, she formed a layer of wind barrier that enveloped everyone from head to toe. Nothing could approach them!
Such a shocking operation obviously consumed even more energy, and it was not even something that a Rank 2 Aerokinetic could do.
However, at this moment, she used the booster and forcefully increased her power to Rank 3!
Lu Yunxiang was extremely shocked. Was this the strength of an Aerokinetic? Forget about those shining thorns, anything that attacked them was deflected away and remained outside. It was as if a vacuum had formed around them, where they could get comfy!
Eighth wanted to use his superpower to help her, but his face turned pale from the pain. He tried several times, but in the end, his lips also lost their color. He had no choice but to give up.
He didn’t know that Tang Susu had also been pierced by the thorns. At this moment, she was simply bearing all that pain!
However, seeing the girl’s determination to take charge of the situation alone, he gritted his teeth and tried again.
This time, with Lu Yunxiang’s cooperation, he successfully blew the most poisonous component he could generate toward the Gympie-Gympie in front of him, which was constantly shaking off its needles.
In an instant, the Gympie-Gympie had given up on shaking as It was in so much pain that its leaves curled up, making Eighth feel relieved.
But soon, the Gympie-Gympie shook even more violently. Countless thorns fell like snowflakes.
Fortunately, they were already far away.
Luodeng and the director couldn’t do anything, so they kept hacking at the weeds in front of them.
After successfully walking out of the Gympie-Gympie’s territory, a few of them heaved a sigh of relief.
“Ah… 1 feel like I’ve survived certain death!” Ever since he was little, his elders had mentioned the dangers of trees like Gympie-Gympie to him. He had even seen an old lady wracked with extreme pain. In the end, she didn’t survive.
And that was from a Gympie-Gympie that had not mutated.. He did not know how much pain it could cause after its mutation!
