Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart-Chapter 397 - 394: The Threat of the Wilderness Area

Chapter 397: Chapter 394: The Threat of the Wilderness Area

After entering the Southwest Jungle, the eerie terror of the Wilderness Area truly unfolds.

"Be careful of that Red Willow Forest ahead."

Yuan Hall pointed to a tall red willow tree in the distance, "Look, these willow branches are covered with thorns-like thorn whips. This is the mutated demon plant ’Whip Willow.’ If it strikes you, even a light touch will leave deep wounds. If the red willow wraps around you, it’s like a torture of a thousand cuts."

"Can mutated demon plants use detection skills?"

Bai Pu asked cautiously. He was worried that using detection might provoke an attack from the demon plants.

"Yes, they can," replied Yuan Hall.

Bai Pu cast Nine Chapters at the first large willow tree.

[Whip Willow (Elite Level 7)]

[Species: Demon Species/Tree Demon]

[Attributes: Power 97, Agility 24, Endurance 113, Spirit 20]

[Skill 1: Resilient Bark: Passive, Whip Willow gains an additional 700 Life Value and 150 points of fixed physical damage reduction, with double reduction for long-range physical damage. Fire damage and cutting-type physical attacks ignore the fixed damage reduction effect and inflict extra damage on Whip Willow.]

[Skill 2: Thorns: Passive, the tips of Whip Willow’s branches are covered with hardened spikes, and physical attacks cause stackable bleeding effects.]

[Skill 3: Willow Leaf Flying Knife: Talent Skill, Whip Willow launches sharp leaf blades, inflicting sharp damage on distant targets.]

[Skill 4: Deep Rooted: Passive, Whip Willow has a developed root system, absorbing various nutrients and quickly restoring Life Value. Whip Willow cannot move.]

Bai Pu surprisingly detected all the attributes and skills of this mutated demon plant at once.

He wondered if it was because of the plant’s nature with low spirits.

Judging by the skill set, Whip Willow seems like a deformed Awakened profession with few skills, mostly passive skills. The inability to move is a significant negative limitation.

In exchange is extraordinary elite template strength and powerful survival ability.

No wonder not a single Awakened came to chop down such a large swath of mutated demon plants.

The group continued forward.

Ahead in the jungle, a patch of colorful shrubs appeared, up to four or five meters tall, hanging with tube-shaped objects.

"Demon Cage Grass, don’t get close. These are evolved mutations of pitcher plants, originally feeding on insects, but as mutated demon plants, they can prey on beasts and humans," warned Yuan Hall.

Bai Pu glanced a few more times, having read books on Alchemy in reality. He knew the petals of the Demon Cage Grass secreted a specially scented dew that could be collected and brewed into a B-level pharmaceutical material "Star Worm Dew."

Star Worm Dew can be sold for Spiritual Points, also tempting to the Awakened. Every year, unwary Awakened get devoured by the Demon Cage Grass, lured by Star Worm Dew’s temptation.

If not for the unsuitable situation, Bai Pu would have wanted to stay and collect more thoroughly. Collecting raw materials is a compulsory course for an Alchemist.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, screams echoed from the end of the team.

Everyone turned and was shocked.

Out of nowhere, seven or eight colorful flowers sprang from the ground, each with a grinding disc-sized mouth in the center of their petals, ready to devour any creature!

Several Secret Arrow Shooters couldn’t dodge in time and got swallowed into the hearts of these Cannibal Flowers, immediately sealed tightly. Judging by the pulsation of the petals, the people inside were in great danger. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"It’s the Earth-Catching Flower! This demon plant excels in concealment, quickly, save them!" Yuan Hall’s face changed.

Bai Pu reacted swiftly, performing Gang Step to dash through the air, great sword slashing horizontally, and struck with the power of Shattering Mountain Mystical Arts, targeting the barrel-thick stalk of the Earth-Catching Flower.

However, the blow, enough to collapse mountains, failed to snap the flower’s stem as expected.

The Earth-Catching Flower’s stalk merely elongated and skewed but didn’t break.

Bai Pu felt the strike was like slicing gummy candy, or flowing water.

The actual damage was even less than Bai Pu’s normal attack!

"Using softness to counter hardness?"

Bai Pu murmured, feeling a sudden understanding.

But rescuing people was urgent, Bai Pu couldn’t think further, immediately activating the chainsaw great sword’s additional skill "Cutting," pulling and slicing backward along the strike momentum.

Changing the strike from chopping to cutting.

The former was like a great axe, the latter like a saw.

Under the cutting motion of the serrated sword blade, the Earth-Catching Flower’s stalk split open. From the wound, bright red blood-like water flowed out, looking quite eerie.

The Earth-Catching Flower’s stalk broke, and the powerless petals opened, rolling out a Secret Arrow Shooter from the flower heart, unconscious.

Bai Pu backhanded another strike, using the "Repetitive Cutting" special effect, once again slicing through another Earth-Catching Flower’s stalk, rescuing another Secret Arrow Shooter.

Blood Spider saved people more simply than Bai Pu. She directly activated the Space Cutting Mystical Arts, slicing the flower heart of the Earth-Catching Flower to temporarily remove the petal in the target position, and swiftly pulled out the trapped Secret Arrow Shooter soldier with high agility.

The power of Space Cutting Mystical Arts was transient, the flower heart of the Earth-Catching Flower returned to normal, but inside, it was already empty.

After the surrounding soldiers moved out of the Earth-Catching Flower’s range of activity, they immediately regrouped.

The Awakened officer "Little Li" cast "Fei Wei’s Guidance" on the team again. Amid the steady mechanical whistle sounds, a rain of arrows shot forth.

The Earth-Catching Flower has additional absorption effects on long-range physical damage, but "Fei Wei’s Guidance" inflicts an extra 6 points of true damage that is not physical damage!

While devouring, the Earth-Catching Flower can’t dodge, making it a perfect target standing still.

With just one volley, an Earth-Catching Flower fell with a wailing cry.

Having dealt with the Earth-Catching Flowers, the medical soldiers came forward, injecting Life Recovery Potions into the unfortunate Secret Arrow Shooters and applying and cleaning wounds on their skin surface.

Xiang Yinghua could only instruct the medical soldiers to carry the wounded on stretchers and continue advancing.

In such circumstances, every second counts. As soon as the Special Service Bureau comrades locate that mysterious Boundary Land, they will have completed this mission and can withdraw entirely.

As for dispatching a squad to escort the wounded back temporarily?

The moment a squad leader proposed such a brilliant idea, Instructor Xiang scolded him harshly.

This is the crisis-ridden Wilderness Area!

The biggest advantage of the Awakened Special Forces is being in formation, in an array, to be invincible in the Wilderness Area.

If squads are separated, they could be devoured by the monster plants and beasts in the Wilderness Area or killed by the bold Awakened criminals, all possible scenarios.

Fortunately, the wounded were all Awakened. Their data-friendly bodies are more enduring than ordinary people. As long as they don’t suffer continuous attacks from mutated demon plants, their injuries won’t worsen.

After prolonged exploration, the lead officer finally discovered:

"We’re close now, 15 degrees southeast, three kilometers, there is a strong space fluctuation response!"
