Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Tree Roots
Lin Xiuyuan suddenly rembered the ti when Jiang Yixiao’s hair had been soaking wet, and it dried up in the blink of an eye; apparently, she had dried it herself back then.
“That sounds pretty impressive, but she is only Level Three, probably the lowest tier in your training team, right?”
Lin Xiuyuan said, stroking his chin.
“Not necessarily. The strength of Water Elent Ability Users is determined by the amount of water they can manipulate, but if her skills involve more than just releasing water…”
Su Jin was also hearing for the first ti about this thod of killing zombies. If one doesn’t have to release their Special Ability but rather utilize it, then they wouldn’t be much restricted by their level.
“Su Jin is right; despite her gentle appearance, it seems like those in the Water Elent have really started to respect her,”
Xue Wanyi laughed heartily, chatted a bit more with the family, and did not dare delay too much ti before he got off the car and waved goodbye.
“Hiss, wouldn’t have guessed that guy was quite impressive.”
Lin Xiuyuan muttered.
“Xiao Jin, how co there are so many ways to use the Water Elent, from explosions to drying things? I really wonder how they do it,”
Huang Yunxiang said, looking at the Water Ball she had ford in her hand.
Absorb the moisture?
“Auntie, everyone has a different understanding of Special Abilities, so the way they fight differs too. The Water Elent is one of the most versatile elents; in fact, the Ice Elent is also a type of Water Elent,”
Su Jin explained that Ice-Elent Special Abilities are just a variant of the Water Elent Ability. Perhaps Jiang Yixiao had started off differently from others and, lacking guidance, ended up taking the most unexpected path.
“Mom, after we co back, I’ll ask her to teach you. I’m sure she won’t refuse,”
Lin Xiuyuan thought this was a good idea. Users of the Water Elent Ability should interact more with each other.
“Forget it, I think you just want to see make a fool of myself,”
Huang Yunxiang gave him a sidelong glance and resud studying her Water Ball…
A City and S City border each other, and the family planned to reach A City on the sa day, but the journey was terribly difficult, especially the stretch near North Mountain, which had been washed out by the snow and ice from a previous blizzard.
The old asphalt roads had cracked and fractured, exposing the charred top layer and the stone and soil beneath; it was impossible for the vehicle to proceed any further.
Helpless, Su Xiangzhe had to stop the car first while Lin Cheng, the “road paving expert,” used his Earth Elent Ability to fix up the next stretch of road before they could continue.
“I wonder how those two people living on North Mountain are doing now,”
Nie Qing still rembered the man and woman they had seen on their last visit, since he used to live alone in the mountains as well.
“More bad luck than good,”
Lu Hao answered.
Now, North Mountain looked even darker green than before, like a dense green paint that wouldn’t dissolve, suggesting sothing even more unpredictable hidden in its heavy strokes.
Su Jin hadn’t entered the Space yet; she planned to enter after leaving S City, so for now, she was sitting in the car with the elders.
After surveying the surroundings, Lu Hao stayed close to Lin Cheng.
“Xiao Hao, there’s no need to follow . There are no zombies appearing here,”
Lin Cheng said, while using his Earth Elent Ability to move the rubble nearby.
“Better to be cautious,”
Lu Hao continued to follow Lin Cheng. The absence of zombies felt peculiar, as if ever since they had entered the area, zombies had beco a rare sight.
“I also find this mountain rather eerie,”
Lu Guanhai touched his arms, wondering why he always felt chills thinking about it.
“Let’s all stay in the car for now,”
Su Jin and Lu Hao felt the sa, but it looked as though there was nothing amiss, so it was best to advise everyone to be careful.
The family, naturally obedient, all ca in from outside. Su Xiangzhe, who was driving, kept his hand on the steering wheel in case of any sudden ergencies.
Just as Lu Hao and Lin Cheng were getting further away, just as Su Xiangzhe was about to start the car and move forward, brown plants sprouted unexpectedly from the ground Lin Cheng had just fixed.
“Ah~ My dad just worked in vain for so long.”
Lin Xiuyuan looked at the ground, which again seed to be broken up, and lanted.
“Is now the ti to worry about work done in vain? What is that thing up ahead?!”
Nie Qing exclaid, wide-eyed, asking if it could be a thousand-year-old tree spirit?
The chaotic, brown plants, like enormous pythons, raced towards Lu Hao and Lin Cheng!
“Run back!”
Su Jin yelled out the window. They wanted to do sothing, but now they could only worry for the two.
Boom!
A fire wall was erected behind Lu Hao, but a few plants that suddenly sprouted were also blocked by Lin Cheng’s earthen wall.
Bang!
The plants smashed through the earth wall and continued to sweep towards the two n!
Su Jin saw Lu Hao yelling sothing at Lin Cheng, and then the road ahead instantly turned into a sea of flas.
“I’m going to help!”
Lin Xiuyuan was about to run down, and Huang Yunxiang also reacted, ready to go down to help, fearing they might be injured.
“No need to go over, that’s the fire from Lu Hao, he knows what he’s doing,”
Su Jin said, pointing at the unusually colored flas outside the window.
Indeed, the previously wildly dancing brown plants in mid-air were gradually incinerated by the fire. After the flas slowly died down, a square, sealed stone house erged in front of everyone.
It turned out that before Lu Hao used his special ability, Lin Cheng had already used his Earth Elent Ability to isolate them from the flas.
Seeing that the plants had disappeared, Lin Tianhui hurriedly stood up and ran towards them.
“Are you guys hurt?”
She was really worried they might be injured after all the flying debris and intense fire.
“It’s nothing, sis, just a minor burn. Xiao Hao’s fire is really hot,”
Lin Cheng laughed and said, explaining how he had accidentally touched the stone wall inside and had almost jumped out because of the burn.
Lin Tianhui pulled Lin Cheng’s hand over and sure enough, saw a huge blister on his palm.
“Dad, let apply ice,”
Lin Xiuyuan conjured a large block of ice and passed it over.
“What’s the need for ice, we have a healer here, do we need your primitive thods?”
Upon saying this, Lin Tianhui then used her Healing Elent Ability, and in less than a minute, Lin Cheng’s palm was restored to its original condition.
“So what was that thing just now? I’ve never seen such plants,”
Lu Guanhai asked.
“It was the roots of so type of mutated plant, it’s highly possible that it was just repelled for now and might still erge,”
Su Jin deduced, no wonder there weren’t many zombies around this area; it must be those roots causing trouble.
“Roots, huh? That’s going to be difficult, we can’t kill it if we can’t find its main body,”
Lin Cheng, who had seen the plant up close, ca to this realization after Su Jin’s explanation, confirming them to indeed be roots.
