CHAPTER 373: MYSTERIOUS FIGURE

The massive gray-white vines were split open by the young girl’s all-encompassing thunderous glow, creating a gigantic hole dozens of meters wide. The twisted internal structure of the vines was vividly visible.

However, in just a dozen seconds, the previously huge hole was rapidly filled and healed.

The gray-white vines seemed to possess an endless vitality, emitting an eerie atmosphere everywhere.

The girl’s pupils contracted, feeling the situation becoming extremely tricky.

This gray-white vine seemed like an indestructible force. Every time she shattered its body, it quickly repaired itself.

Even the thunder dragon, usually known for its destructive power, lost its advantage under such infinite vitality.

Moreover, the use of supernatural abilities was not limitless. After exerting her full strength for a short time, the girl felt a bit powerless. The thunder dragon in her palm was also shrinking.

The female warriors around the vines continued to advance, forming a solid encirclement that locked down the vines. Any tendrils attempting to attack were collectively repelled by the united efforts of the female warriors.

The girl finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the assistance of the female warriors, the vines were prevented from further expansion.

"What the hell is this thing? How could there be a mutated plant beneath the base?"

The girl frowned. Although she felt resentful, she didn’t dare to be too stubborn. She immediately planned to notify Order to send reinforcements.

This gray-white vine, although strange, was definitely not a match for Order. Even the leader of the Combat Division or any Arbitration Group member could easily deal with it.

The girl didn’t believe that this thing’s vitality was infinite.

A glint of coldness flashed in the girl’s eyes as she was about to send a message when suddenly she felt a chill down her back.

Her body, wrapped in lightning, quickly shifted away, appearing hundreds of meters away.

In the original spot, green leaves suddenly appeared, then rapidly exploded. A mass of green liquid corroded the space, forming a dark void in the sky.

Seeing the failed attack, the green liquid flowed and gradually formed a figure entirely composed of plants.

But rather than calling it a person, it was more accurate to say it was a plant.

The humanoid creature had dark gray skin with wrinkles and cracks all over, resembling the bark of an old tree.

Its limbs were extremely stiff and peculiar, with even some green sprouts growing, as if the torso of this humanoid creature was a tree trunk.

Even the face of the figure was entirely made up of dried or green leaves, giving it an eerie and terrifying appearance.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" the girl said coldly!

The figure did not answer but raised its hand, and a mass of green liquid splashed towards the girl.

"Legion Commander, be careful!"

"Quick, move away! It’s planning a sneak attack!"

The female warriors who had been observing the scene shouted in alarm.

Although they were powerful, with the most formidable female warriors capable of matching those with abilities below level five, they lacked the ability to fly or hover. They could only watch helplessly as the Legion Commander was under attack.

"Bold ones, daring to lay hands on Order, even in hiding!" The girl laughed instead of being angry, her eyes filled with a murderous intent.

Since the apocalypse, Order’s female warrior legion had conquered several provinces, always achieving victories. Even the large gathering places, left over from the beginning of the apocalypse and containing tens of thousands of people with substantial strength, were not true adversaries for Order.

Now, Order’s influence extended across several provinces, with dozens of bases, and the number of survivors exceeded tens of millions, echoing its fame throughout half the country.

Now there are still ignorant individuals daring to provoke Order single-handedly and disrupt the gathering place.

The girl’s gaze turned icy, and in her mind, she had already sentenced the figure before her to death. Regardless of what it was or its background, daring to attack Order was an unforgivable sin.

Boom...

A massive thunderous sound shook the heavens, burning and completely vaporizing the green liquid before her.

A peculiar fragrance wafted in the air. The girl’s body swayed, with the electric shock protecting her from interference. However, some of the female warriors below had already begun to sway and faint.

"Cover your mouth and nose, activate crystal energy to shield your body; be careful, it might be toxic!"

The front-row female warriors could still hold on, but those behind were falling one by one. Seeing the danger, the female warriors who hadn’t joined the battle rushed forward to rescue their fallen comrades and took their places.

At this very moment, the gray-white vines began to scream wildly. The body split into two tendrils, with one lunging towards the Legion Commander in the sky.

The other tendril opened a massive mouth, resembling a man-eating flower, and charged directly at the female warriors on the ground.

In the rear, many female warriors turned pale, but they firmly gripped their long knives, wearing determined expressions.

"Sisters, we are warriors of Order, the sword of our master. We’ve always made the enemy retreat, never retreating ourselves. Kill them for me!"

Rows of white blade glows, carrying a fierce and deadly aura, sliced through the air, heading straight for the grotesque, blood-filled mouth.

Creak, creak!

The teeth-gritting sound of shattering vines echoed as the burst tendrils scattered in all directions. The blood-filled mouth that came roaring was immediately met with a head-on assault of countless sharp blade energies, crashing into the vines.

The withered arm of the mysterious figure, resembling a venomous tongue, twisted and slashed toward the girl. The girl, dressed in moon-white combat attire, squinted her eyes. Whether it was the massive vine tentacles attacking her or the withered arm slashing like blades, they struck directly at her.

In the next second, the girl’s figure shattered, turning into an afterimage that appeared directly above the mysterious figure. A robust bolt of lightning shot directly at the figure’s head.

Bang...

Like a watermelon exploding, the head of the mysterious figure was decisively shattered by the lightning, and the torso was severely damaged, falling directly from mid-air.

Having succeeded with one strike, the girl didn’t hesitate. Her rich combat experience led her to charge towards the giant vines in the distance.

The tendrils of the gray-white vines were continuously shattered by the surging lightning, greatly relieving the pressure on the female warriors. The girl’s body was enveloped in a towering thunder, continuously bombarding. The repairing speed of the giant vines seemed weaker than before, and their attacking force appeared to have weakened.

Seeing the advantage, the female warriors became excited. Their movements intensified, fully engaging, and the encirclement gradually narrowed, nearing the main body of the gray-white vines.

In mid-air, the girl’s gaze turned cold, a murderous intent filling her eyes. In her palm, the thunderous dragon reappeared, roaring in anger as it charged directly at the base of the vines.

Explosions resounded, right in that moment within the void. A withered, bark-like hand, cracked and dry, ruthlessly slammed into the girl’s back. The thunder enveloping the girl took a heavy blow, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

The palm aimed for another strike, but the girl had already transformed into a lingering shadow, rushing several hundred meters away.

Wiping off the blood at the corner of her mouth, the girl’s pupils contracted slightly. The strange figure in front of her had actually stood up again. Despite its shattered head and severely damaged torso, with only limbs and half a body remaining, it was inexplicably still alive.

"What the hell is this!" The girl had been with Order for quite some time, leading a legion of female warriors in battles against zombie waves, killing mutated zombies, and fighting against mutated animals. However, she had never encountered something as eerie as this.

Even the renowned resilient mutated zombies, if their head or heart were shattered, had no chance of survival. Yet, this strange figure, with not just its head but even its heart obliterated by her thunder, still possessed such formidable strength.

"Good, very good. Leading the legion in battles for so long, and this is the first time encountering such an opponent!" The girl’s eyes were cold, and a faint smile appeared on her blood-stained lips. Unlike ordinary zombies that could be easily dispatched with a single blow, such opponents were interesting.

The girl had a premonition that if she killed this eerie figure, perhaps her abilities could advance to the next level. Her position in Order might elevate further, and she might even have a chance to challenge the Arbitration Group’s status.
