Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable-Chapter 160: The Apocalypse - I Am Not the Holy Mother 67

Upon hearing the scream, everyone reflexively turned around to look in the direction it came from, but Lin Shuangshuang immediately regretted it because she realized everyone else was looking behind, and from behind her came a sharp whistling sound through the air.

Since she was originally at the front, she was now at the very back.

Lin Shuangshuang’s heart sank. Without turning her head, the Thousand Silk Entanglement instantly wrapped around behind her, as if it had eyes, and quickly ensnared whatever was attacking. She spun around to find a vine as thick as a child’s arm in front of her. The tip of the vine gleamed with a metallic sheen, a sharp black thorn resembling a mosquito’s proboscis.

At this moment, the vine was tightly bound by the Thousand Silk Entanglement, twitching like a living creature, trying to attack Lin Shuangshuang further.

Simultaneously, vines from all directions attacked the group’s backs while their attention was drawn by the scream.

Lin Shuangshuang waved her hand, sending out several snake-like arcs of blue lightning directly at the attacking vines!

As the arcs struck the vines, they fell limp to the ground with a sizzle, emitting a burnt smell.

As the vines slumped to the ground, a sense of anger flashed through everyone’s minds, startling them! A plant with intelligence, it was a particularly mutated organism.

Everyone had seen particularly mutated insects, animals, and birds, but this was the first encounter with a particularly mutated plant, leaving them with no experience on how to handle it.

However, the particularly mutated vine did not give the group time to adapt. Countless vines, with a piercing sound, came at the group all at once.

Although the assault was fierce this time, everyone was alert, avoiding the surprise of the first ambush, and each used their methods to repel the vine attack.

Li Wenxuan’s Space Blade was powerful but unsuitable for attacking a crowd; it was meant for singular, large-scale martial power output. So, he took out the Qingque Sword given by Mi Lu before they set out, and easily chopped down the vines attacking him with its sharp blade.

Others used various means, deploying their superpowers. The chaotic elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth soon pushed back all the attacking vines.

Lin Shuangshuang’s Thousand Silk Entanglement wrapped around several vines at a time, cutting them off before continuing to entangle more. None of the vines attacking Lin Shuangshuang returned intact, all severed by her.

Though the attacking vines were increasingly numerous, they still did not pose a significant threat to the group. Even Red Jade could wrap the vines with spider silk and use the silk’s inherent venom to corrode and sever them.

The mutated vine, unable to eliminate the group, seemed to grow angry. Suddenly, everyone felt the ground beneath them shake violently! Several large bulges appeared, as if a massive creature was about to emerge from underground, causing the earth to tremble and everyone to sway unsteadily.

"Be careful, something’s coming out from below, retreat quickly!" Song Yuhang shouted loudly, watching the ground under his feet heave and tremble.

Fortunately, Red Jade stood firmly on its eight legs. Lin Shuangshuang leaped onto Red Jade’s head and shouted, "Quick, grab onto Red Jade’s legs! Red Jade is fast!" The rest immediately rushed to embrace Red Jade’s long legs, and Red Jade swiftly retreated with them, away from the trembling ground.

Just as Red Jade retreated a short distance, the bulging land cracked open with a massive fissure. A dense network of huge roots pulled out from the soil, shaking the surrounding trees. The roots of the vine twisted together and raised high, moving to strike the group with a shadow-casting blow!

This strike from the vine covered a vast area, leaving no escape for the group.

Various superpowers were deployed again, but they proved ineffective. The attacking vine’s root system was so large that the superpowers were like ant bites, causing no significant damage to it.

Ah Cai flapped her wings, flying into the air, and opened her mouth to launch over a dozen gigantic wind blades at the vine’s root system above. The sharp, screeching green wind blades instantly pierced through the vine’s root system.

Each of Ah Cai’s wind blades powerfully tore a massive hole in the vine’s roots, severing many roots connected together. Yet the vine’s root system was so extensive that it quickly reconnected and plugged the gaps created by Ah Cai, relentlessly continuing its attack on the group.

Red Jade continued to retreat with everyone, trying to move away from the attack zone, but even Red Jade’s speed couldn’t outpace the falling strike.

Hearts tightened with tension, Li Wenxuan and Wang Wei alongside the space ability user prepared to jointly execute a space tear—a big move they’d developed while studying their abilities together during their journey.

The advantage of this move was its immense power; its downside was that it could only be used once. After a single strike, all their abilities would be drained, rendering them immobile for at least a day, unable to even move a little finger.

In such a dangerous place, having their abilities drained and being unable to move was akin to putting their life and death in others’ hands. Even if teammates were reliable, the extreme danger meant any oversight could lead to death. They dared not use this move lightly unless at the brink of life and death.

Clearly, they were facing such a life-or-death moment now, and this life-saving move was called for. Li Wenxuan and that person exchanged a look, clasped hands, and prepared to use their space abilities for a space tear!

Lin Shuangshuang knew about Li Wenxuan’s move, but she was reluctant for him to use it. They had just entered the Southern Tropical Rainforest, oblivious to what dangers lay ahead. Losing mobility here would be detrimental to the upcoming exploration.

Lin Shuangshuang felt that if she went all out, she could unleash even greater power from the Thousand Silk Entanglement. This strength might be enough to eliminate the particularly mutated vine, and she wanted to test her instincts.

Calming her mind, Lin Shuangshuang infused her Inner Strength along with her Thunder Ability into the Thousand Silk Entanglement, focusing entirely on directing it against the mutated vine!

Absorbing Lin Shuangshuang’s Inner Strength, the Thousand Silk Entanglement grew thicker and longer, moving through the air like a giant python. The blue sphere at its tip expanded to the size of a grindstone, nearly transparent and filled with crackling lightning!
