Three Towers Game

Chapter 257: Revised: Chapter 109 The God-like Wen Xishu_2

If we go deeper into the supermarket, we need to head towards section B. Xun Hui moves towards section B, while Wen Xishu and others head towards the perimeter of section A, approaching the entrance of the supermarket.

But what they don’t know is that outside the supermarket, terrifying vines are wrapping around the entire perimeter like a swarm of madly crawling snakes.

At the entrance of the supermarket, there are already hundreds of vines with sharp spikes.

They are lurking at the edge of the supermarket entrance.

If looking from inside the supermarket to the outside, they cannot be seen.

”One of the characteristics of the monster is that it cannot be sensed. Even Senior Xun Hui cannot detect it... The second characteristic is that it shouldn’t be here.”

”It’s precisely because it shouldn’t be here that caused Senior Xun Hui’s misjudgment, thinking this place was safe, because this doesn’t match the ecological distribution of the Slaughter Tower monsters.”

”The third characteristic is that this monster and the supermarket’s original elite or leader-level beings... should be incompatible. They are considered to be in a hostile relationship.”

”Those vines are withered. This indicates that those vines were likely cut off by the supermarket’s original guardians? But for some reason, the plants seem unable to harm the original monsters?”

”Wait.”

Wen Xishu seemed to have an idea.

He no longer walked towards the outside. Instead, he stopped to observe.

”Are we not continuing to leave?” Nissen asked.

Wen Xishu shook his head:

”Wait a little longer.”

Meanwhile, Xun Hui, who had already infiltrated section B, had started an intense battle, in stark contrast to Wen Xishu’s side.

In section B, countless vines emerged from the ground like death worms in the desert, swiftly and precisely stabbing towards Xun Hui.

Even with Xun Hui’s quick reflexes, facing monsters with no heartbeat or breath perception and in a nearly pitch-black environment, he occasionally got scratched by the swiftly passing vine hooks, tearing his skin.

In that instant, Xun Hui felt some of his internal power being absorbed by the vine.

A slight scratch could produce such a noticeable effect. Xun Hui had no doubt that if pierced directly by a vine, he might be instantly drained.

All his senses were heightened, and he was on full alert.

Several times, Xun Hui tried to counterattack but couldn’t locate the plant’s main body. He relied on his abnormal reflexes to tear the vines apart directly.

But there were too many vines. The cost of tearing them apart would likely be part of his energy being absorbed.

On the other hand, for the main body of this eerie plant, there was no pain whatsoever.

Xun Hui’s battle strategy was correct: keep pushing forward, evading every attack amidst the increasing vine assaults, and then find the plant’s main body.

Of course, he could also consider setting it on fire.

However, Xun Hui was relatively confident in dealing with the monster, although it would take some time. After all, he had the super sequence ”State of No Self,” which could not be attacked.

”I need to be even more vigilant,” he said.

Section B was almost entirely dark. Activating the ”State of No Self” would consume a lot of energy, and he wouldn’t activate it unless absolutely necessary.

Originally, he didn’t need to activate the ”State of No Self” to kill that guide. But the unexpected kill count made him start worrying about Wen Xishu and the others.

In the dark space, the vines continuously stabbed towards Xun Hui, faster and more numerous, correspondingly making Xun Hui’s figure quicker.

If there were enough visibility at this moment, Wen Xishu and the others would see Xun Hui’s terrifying speed, almost leaving afterimages.

And up to this point, Xun Hui hadn’t drawn his sword yet.

Xun Hui wasn’t sure if the plant had combat intelligence, so he wouldn’t fully expose his combat methods before encountering the main body.

However, even though Xun Hui still retained his strength, this strange plant seemed to do the same. The closer he got to its main body, the stronger the resistance.

The speed at which he sought the plant’s main body also slowed down. With the increasing number of vines, Xun Hui realized that his pace was continually slowing down.

He frowned slightly:

”I am not sure how much more resistance these vines can muster. Should I take a risk?”

Xun Hui contemplated whether to activate the ”State of No Self” and make a reckless charge. The advantage was that once activated, enemies couldn’t attack him, and all the vine walls would become meaningless.

But the downside was... if he couldn’t find the plant’s main body before the ”State of No Self” ended, he might fall into a massive predicament, being trapped by stronger vines in the depths.

For a moment, Xun Hui hesitated.

...

Supermarket Section A.

”Wow, I heard the sound of Senior Xun Hui battling those vines... The frequency is terrifying, like a sonic boom. He’s so strong, but... it seems very dangerous for us too. Are we really not leaving?” Xiaojin said.

Wen Xishu shook his head:

”Don’t you find it strange?”

Yue Yun thought for a moment and tentatively asked:

”Are you referring to... the vines near the shelves?”

Wen Xishu nodded:

”Yes, these vines have long withered, indicating they attempted to invade this area long ago, but kept failing.”

”The owner of the vines, that eerie plant, likely has a bit of intelligence—not much, but at least enough to seek advantages and avoid harm. So it took root in section B of the supermarket.”

”If someone invaded your territory, would you coexist with them?”

Wen Xishu looked at Yue Yun.
