The Flower-Pinching Buddha Hunting the Light
"Tribunal."
With no other choice, Chen Ling directly raised the muzzle and fired. The bullet that deconstructed everything tore a gap through the overwhelming roots, and with a sway of his body, he darted out from it.
Chen Ling looked back, only to see that the plants extending from behind the different gaps had actually linked with each other, reconstructing a unique "ecological zone" in this world. So flowers, grass, and trees that squird like flesh and blood fell directly from the ecological zone onto the ground like mud, differentiated into dense individuals, and slowly spread outward...
"In the last class, we talked about the correspondence between the Six Great Extinctions and the five viscera and six extraordinary organs in traditional Chinese dicine theory."
"The Calamity of Mockery is akin to the heart, belongs to fire, and governs joy; the Cessation Calamity is akin to the lungs, belongs to tal, and governs sorrow; the Calamity of Taboo is akin to the kidneys, belongs to water, and governs fear; the Calamity of Corruption is akin to the liver, belongs to wood, and governs anger... the Thought Calamity is akin to the brain and belongs to the extraordinary organs."
"In this class, we will talk about the correspondence between the territories and types of the six great Calamities and Earth's ecology."
"The Calamities of the Ghost Mockery Abyss mostly belong to subterranean creatures, with insects in the majority. They prefer the dark, like to live in groups, and have strong vitality... The Calamities of the Sighing Wilderness belong to plains creatures, able to adapt to extre weather, with fast speed and great strength... The Calamities of the Forbidden Sea belong to deep-sea creatures, with extrely massive bodies, poor eyesight, and a preference for dark, cold places..."
"The Calamities from the Bitter Flesh Forest can be compared to special species interdiate between animals and plants. They take root in the Bitter Flesh Forest and generally don't move easily, but their ability to adapt to the environnt is very strong. They grow quickly and can expand their territory by seeding... However, because their growth is highly dependent on nutrients, wherever they go basically becos a forbidden zone for life. Aside from the plants within the Bitter Flesh Forest, no living creature can survive..."
Chen Ling finally recalled the content Teacher Ye had introduced in class.
"At this rate, sooner or later they will dig out the citizens in the shelters and turn them all into nutrients... The entirety of Wushan will probably turn into another Bitter Flesh Forest." Chen Ling's brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
Lu Xun's star was suspended right in the center of the dense plant roots, which ant that the shelter they were in had already been surrounded. To rescue them, he had to slaughter his way through these Calamities all the way...
The current gaps weren't large, and the Calamities extending out were also relatively small in size and of average strength. It wasn't impossible for Chen Ling to fight his way in alone.
But the problem lay in how he would bring them out completely unscathed after fighting his way in.
No matter how good Chen Ling was at fighting, he was still only one person. He couldn't keep everyone perfectly safe... Furthermore, once a high-tier Calamity drilled out from the gaps, things would beco even more troubleso.
Thud—!!
Just as Chen Ling was deep in thought, a roar transmitted from the ruins on the other side.
Chen Ling paused slightly, looking toward that direction in surprise... In the ruins of Wushan that had survived a nuclear explosion, was there actually soone else besides him?
As a mighty imperial aura rolled in that direction, a figure similarly slaughtered a bloody path out of the dense roots. Behind him, a figure carrying a small magma hamr followed closely...
"It's him?" Chen Ling muttered to himself.
...
"Your Majesty!"
"In the future era, are you all going to face monsters like this??"
Fu Kun looked back at the plant vines and roots squirming all over the sky and only felt his scalp go numb. His gaze toward Ying Fu's back grew increasingly reverent.
Facing the Calamity attack from the Bitter Flesh Forest, Ying Fu appeared quite calm, as if he were already accustod to this kind of scene... He casually glanced behind him and said indifferently:
"Just the tip of the iceberg."
"Your Majesty, those monsters are swarming over again!" Fu Kun couldn't help but curse as he looked at the overwhelmingly surging roots. "We've already run this far, and they're still chasing? Are they crazy?"
"They're just too thirsty for flesh and blood nutrients."
Ying Fu casually grabbed two streaks of purple lightning and threw them behind him, temporarily delaying those roots for a mont, before continuing to dart forward.
Thud—!
At the sa ti, another explosion ca from the distance.
Ying Fu raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze looking in that direction... Perhaps because the distance was too far, he couldn't see clearly who that person was, but it seed he already had an answer in his heart.
The two streaks of purple lightning failed to delay those plants for too long. The densely packed roots surrounded them once again, and after a brief thought, Ying Fu changed direction, rushing straight toward the direction of the distant explosions.
"Your Majesty, where are you going??" Fu Kun asked.
Ying Fu didn't answer.
Thud—!!
Unexpectedly, the figure who was constantly triggering explosions actually also changed direction at the sa ti, rushing toward Ying Fu's location.
Without any communication, nor any identification of status, the two figures fleeing under the siege of the Bitter Flesh Forest both chose to approach each other without hesitation the mont they spotted the other party...
Seeing this scene, the corners of Ying Fu's mouth curled up slightly.
Sizzle—!!
When the two drew near, dense purple lightning and wildly dancing crimson paper pythons erupted at the sa ti. However, their target was no longer each other, but the squirming roots that had already surrounded them from both sides!
The combined strike of the two emperors directly tore apart more than half of all the roots that had extended over. The Calamities behind the gaps seed to feel pain, slowly retracting the roots in that direction and no longer attempting to pursue...
Scattered pieces of flesh and blood fell from the sky.
A figure wearing the great crimson theatrical robe walked slowly out from the rain of debris opposite.
"I thought you had already escaped Wushan... I didn't expect you to still be here." Chen Ling's voice rang out calmly.
"There was a slight accident." Ying Fu responded indifferently. "I'm here to rescue soone."
"You? Rescuing soone?"
Chen Ling was sowhat surprised. In his impression, the only person who could make Ying Fu attach such importance should be A'Qian... But A'Qian shouldn't be in this era.
Ying Fu had no intention of explaining. Instead, he glanced at the shining star in the distance and spoke directly:
"I know you want to rescue Lu Xun and the others. My target is also there."
"Then that really is a coincidence."
"Although you just made a fool of , considering this ti the situation is special, I can temporarily not hold it against you..." Ying Fu paused for a mont. "Once everything is over, I will co to take your life."
"Heh, if it wasn't for that second half of the sentence, I would think you were more sincere."
"Since you also chose to actively approach , it shows you also have the intention to cooperate. In that case, we don't need to waste ti. You perhaps haven't dealt with them before; the longer this drags on, the harder those things will be to deal with."
"...That's true." Chen Ling sighed.
"Cooperating is naturally fine, but I'm just afraid that even if you and I join forces, we're not confident we can slaughter our way in..."
"If two people aren't confident, then we'll call in more people."
"Are you saying..."
Chen Ling and Ying Fu exchanged a glance.
Then, they simultaneously turned to look at the Mid-mountain Hotel shrouded in dark clouds...
Under the gloomy sky, Wushan still stood tall, like a ruthless god transcending the mortal realm, indifferently looking down upon the city that had been reduced to ruins below.
The two didn't hesitate in the slightest, simultaneously walking in the direction of the Mid-mountain Hotel.
Fu Kun looked bewildered. He couldn't help but ask loudly:
"Your Majesty, what are we going to do?"
The two figures gradually vanished into the radiation-filled dust, like two tall shadows slowly propping up the entire sky...
A long ti later.
The voices of the two emperors rang out simultaneously:
"Conscription."
