Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 154 A sudden prank (2)

```

It was terrifying, the axe that shimmered with a cold light seemed sharp enough to chop off their heads.

But there was no other way, trapped by the Five-clawed Vine, this was the only method to rescue them. Even if the root of the vine were killed, the tightly curled tendrils wouldn’t reopen; they had to be cut, and a sharp axe was exactly what they needed at the moment.

Firefighter’s axes were not suitable, too big and long; a small axe that could be tucked into a belt was handier.

Ye Nai found the right spot to strike, and with each blow, the men and women trapped below screamed.

The vine was so thick that the small axe couldn’t cut through it in one swing, nor did she dare to use enough force to do so for fear of not being able to stop in time. If she couldn’t, the five people below would truly be smashed to a pulp.

"Hurry, help her pull the vine!"

"Find something! Get something to cushion it!"

The security guards, seeing the young girl leap into action with skill, cooperated from below, forcefully prying a small gap in the tight vines to wedge something in, doing their best to avoid chopping the people.

More people from the mall ran out, bringing firefighting hoses. They unfolded the hoses and stuffed them under the forcefully lifted base of the vines, cushioning the heads of the trapped civilians.

This material could withstand high water pressure and wouldn’t be damaged by the axe.

The terrified civilians cried while shouting for more padding.

Once the vine was cushioned, Ye Nai chopped with even more effort, successfully cutting through a layer after five or six strikes. The security guards behind her scrambled to peel back the layers, making it easier for her to cut through another one.

Just then, the sound of sirens approached from the distance. The police station, fire department, and ambulances all arrived. The police set up a cordon, pushing the onlookers back, while firefighters with small axes jumped into action. Paramedics and nurses stood ready to check the civilians as they were freed.

"Gold Element, come here, there are two children."

The firefighters who had rushed over inspected the scene and instructed the Awakeners to save the children first, while adults would be cut out with axes.

Someone came over to check Ye Nai’s progress.

"How’s it going here? Still making progress?"

"Mine’s okay. It’ll be cut through in a few minutes, but there’s residue from a Wood Element Superpower here. Check it out in detail."

"All right!"

The firefighters were surprised by this information, but if the Five-clawed Vine had been planted and triggered intentionally, it changed the nature of the incident from an accident to deliberate sabotage.

However, there was no time to think too much about it now. They looked at the neat cuts in the vine, acknowledged her strength and speed, and without lingering, they went to help others, passing on the critical information for their Wood Element colleagues to investigate further.

Ye Nai became more adept at chopping, and her control over her strength improved. At first, it took her five or six strikes to cut through a layer, but that number reduced to three or four as she progressed.

The security guards helping her coordinated well. As soon as a layer was cut, they peeled it open. The five trapped individuals, seeing hope for escape, calmed down and stopped crying out in panic. They kept their mouths shut while Ye Nai swung her axe to avoid getting debris in their mouths.

However, the fastest progress was made by the Gold Element firefighters. With their abundant experience and better control over their superpowers, they had already rescued the children by the time Ye Nai had only two layers left to cut, and had handed them over to the doctors.

When Ye Nai reached the bottom layer, it was extremely tight and immovable. There was no way to fit a hose underneath for cushioning, and chopping further would put the civilians at risk.

What if she exerted too much force and struck someone? Would it result in a real mess of flesh and blood?

"Can’t do it anymore, I’ll call the firefighters over for you. It’ll be safer for them to cut it with their superpower."

"They are busy too. Can’t you keep chopping? There’s only one layer left."

Their section was orderly, the rescuers and the rescued were all calm, while all other sounds came from the other four coiled vines. They knew that even if they called for help, it would be a while before anyone was free to help them. Who knew how long they’d have to maintain this uncomfortable position.

"I dare to chop, but do you dare to bear the risk?"

```

"I dare!" A young man below sounded like he was gasping for air, "My ribs hurt so much, chop in my direction, I’ll take it even if you have to chop into me."

"Me too, you can chop here, I was actually on my way to the restroom in the mall, I can’t wait either." The speaker was a young lady, looking like she was about to burst.

"Hang in there a bit longer, the accident was so sudden that no one’s had the chance to relieve themselves, you’ll definitely make it to the end, ha."

Ye Nai’s words elicited a few laughs from the crowd, finding humor amidst the hardship.

She scanned carefully and moved the axe above the young man who complained of the constricted ribs.

"Alright, I’ll chop from here, hold your breath, I’ll try to break it in three hits."

"Security, be ready, once it’s cut through, let that lady down first."

"Roger." The security guard nodded in response.

The young man took a couple of deep breaths under the limited conditions, held his breath, nodded at Ye Nai, and she swung the axe down.

After three strikes, the Five-clawed Vine snapped, the last restraints on everyone broke free, and not a thread on that man’s clothes was damaged.

The security guards swiftly pulled apart the vine, lifted the young lady out, and set her down on the ground, who then took off like she was sprinting a hundred meters, sure to win a prize if it were a race.

"Everyone else stay still, I’m going to carry this one out, he might have injured his ribs."

Right before their eyes, Ye Nai performed a trick where the axe simply vanished into thin air, and then she carefully picked up the young man sideways.

"Do you have any personal belongings?"

"Below, there’s a backpack underneath."

The security guard quickly retrieved the backpack from below, allowing the man to hold onto it himself.

"Thank you, thank you~"

The other three people who were saved thanked the security staff repeatedly after they were back on solid ground.

A girl from a young couple looked at Ye Nai’s retreating figure with her hands cupping her face and hearts in her eyes.

"Ah, this sister gives such a sense of security, she’s so strong~"

"Hey, hey, hey, I’m still here!" her boyfriend looked slightly offended, "Besides, you look older than her, and yet you’re calling her ’sister’."

"She wasn’t the one who saved you, was she?" the girlfriend instantly changed her stance, one hand on her hip and the other pointing at her boyfriend’s nose, "A superior is a ’sister’; even if she’s underage, she is still a ’sister’."

After saying that, the girlfriend flicked her hair and sweetly wrapped her arms around her boyfriend’s, pulling him in a different direction.

"Let’s go, let’s go, the scare made me break out in sweat, let’s get something to drink."

The boyfriend stumbled as he was pulled along, with a helpless look on his face as they walked away.

The last singleton hugged himself and dashed into the nearest coffee shop.

Ye Nai hurriedly carried the person to the ambulance.

"Please take a look, he might have hurt his ribs."

At this point, there were two camping tents beside the ambulance, provided by an outdoor gear store in the mall for people to rest temporarily, while medical check-ups were being done inside the ambulance.

"Here, put him down here."
