Chapter 470: Chapter 239: Go Ahead, You Lead the Way—I’ll Do the Killing!

Fang Qingyu’s heart sank suddenly.

"Just an hour ago! A large-scale space distortion suddenly erupted at the site of the old East Suburb Industrial Park in Qingjian City! An ultra-large tree-like Life Ghost Nest formed in an instant! It covers an area of over five square kilometers! There are at least three Tier Two Life Ghosts stationed inside! The entire nest is now sealed by an ultra-large force field! Grandmaster Chen, Grandmaster Su, and three other reinforcements are all trapped inside! Communications are intermittent! The situation is unclear! It’s already confirmed that a large number of Life Ghosts are attacking the force field’s inner defenses!"

Zhou Zhenguo’s voice carried a desperate urgency: "Captain Fang! I know you just got down here! But... the situation over at Qingjian is too critical! The force field is sealed, and people outside can’t get in. The situation inside doesn’t look good! Besides you... I can’t think of any other force that could quickly break through and get in! Is there... any possibility of providing support?!!"

Tree-like Life Ghost Nest... ultra-large force field... five Grandmasters trapped?

Each word felt like a heavy hammer striking Fang Qingyu’s heart.

"We will set out immediately!"

Fang Qingyu’s voice was cold as iron, without any hesitation.

"Thank you! Thank you so much, Captain Fang!" Zhou Zhenguo’s voice was filled with the excitement of narrowly escaping disaster, "I’ll immediately send the force field entrance coordinates and the current intelligence to your terminal! Be careful on the way!"

The communication ended.

Fang Qingyu suddenly looked up, his eyes scanning over the four people beside him like molten gold: "Qingjian City, let’s go."

The words were brief but carried immense weight.

"Move!" Lu Jiuyuan instantly gripped the sword handle tightly.

For the first time, a clear look of seriousness appeared on Wei Banmeng’s cold face as she nodded forcefully.

There were no unnecessary words.

Fang Qingyu glanced around, directly opening the door of a military off-road vehicle beside him that had just been turned off, with the key still in the lock, and jumped into the driver’s seat.

"Get in the car!"

The engine roared like an enraged beast!

Chu Kuanglan, Lu Jiuyuan, and Wei Banmeng quickly opened the back door and squeezed in.

The small figure of Jiang Wei agilely opened the passenger side door and got in, her short legs not even reaching the ground.

Vroom—!

The tires screeched on the muddy ground, kicking up a large spray of mud!

The off-road vehicle, like an unleashed black beast, shot out from the rest area, forcibly tearing through the chaotic flow of cars and people in the camp, heading north, towards Qingjian City!

Speeding away!

...

Qingjian City’s East Suburb, site of the old Industrial Park.

Inside the force field, everything had already changed beyond recognition.

A colossal, semi-transparent force field barrier, like an overturned gray bowl, completely enveloped an area of several kilometers.

Outside the barrier was a bustling city nightscape, with intact roads.

The city’s outline could still be discerned.

Inside the barrier, however, was an entirely different world!

Rampantly growing, bizarre dark green and dark brown thick vines twisted like giant serpents, crushing the skeletal remains of steel-reinforced cement factory buildings. Countless twisted, grotesque trees sprung from the ground, their bark writhing like decaying flesh, their branches and leaves contorted like demonic claws, greedily consuming all man-made traces.

The air was as thick as a swamp, filled with a heavy, decayed plant scent and a nauseating sweet and bloody smell.

The light was shredded by the dense, weird tree canopies, casting fragmented, constantly shifting eerie shadows on the ground.

The ground beneath was thickly covered with slimy moss and rotting fallen leaves.

Stepping on it felt soft and spongy, producing a heart-palpitating "squelch" sound.

This was a hell for plants, a tomb where twisted life completely covered the jungle of steel.

"Damn... it’s changed so much... I can barely recognize the way!"

Qin Hui stumbled through the slippery humus layer, his specially-made battle blade cutting out, the blade edge wrapped with condensed Qi and Blood Power, slicing a silently approaching dark green vine like a Poisonous Snake in a swift stroke.

Dark green viscous liquid sprayed out from the severed part, emitting a pungent stench.

He wiped the slime splashed on his face, breathing heavily, and warily scanning the ghostly swaying crooked trees around him, cursing under his breath. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

His combat uniform was already torn to shreds by thorns, covered in filth.

"Brother Qin, there’s about two kilometers left to the last signaled position of Captain Lin and the others!"

Lv Chen followed closely beside Qin Hui, his voice tinged with tension, a fresh cut on his face oozing Blood Pearl.

"Be careful! This damn place, even the trees are alive!"

Old Qiao walked on the left side of the team, his burly figure surprisingly nimble like a cat. In his hands, two short daggers glinting with cold light slashed silently through the air, shredding a few jagged-edged dead leaves quietly falling.

Qi Hao brought up the rear, his muscular arms covered with a faint earthen glow.

Like two sturdy shields, they cautiously defended the rear.

In a deep voice, "Stay vigilant! Don’t get caught unexpectedly! Captain Lin’s side of things isn’t small, they must be entangled!"

The four-man team, like a lone boat struggling through the viscous dark green swamp, was stretched to the utmost.

Suddenly!

BOOM——!!!

A few hundred meters ahead, a deep rumbling echoed suddenly!

Following that was a blinding flash and a violent energy shockwave, even through countless twisted trees and vines, the overwhelming power could be felt!

Qin Hui’s eyes lit up, a burst of joy instantly spreading across his face, "Quick! Rush over to support!"

"Roar——!!!"

However, before he could finish speaking!

An unexpected change erupted!

The thick, slippery humus layer and the intertwined vines beneath everyone’s feet seemed to come alive in an instant!
