The Cannon Fodder in the Global Apocalypse Game lives a leisurely life-Chapter 428: The Nightmare Flower-Dog (1)

Zurui grabbed the bloodied flute, forced himself to stand amidst the numbing pain and started staggering towards the eerie forest before his stamina run out.

[Great Romantic Sage: Big Brother, do you have a clean set of clothes, bandages and mana potion?]

Haoran detected the feebleness etched within his brother’s voice. His face darkened but he still gave what his brother requested except for the mana potion.

He replaced it with dishes that had the same buff and added a stamina recovery as well.

[Dumpling Duke]: Don’t die. Tell me if you need anything else.

Zurui put on a small smile.

[Great Romantic Sage]: I haven’t sister-in-law yet! How could I die?

The moment Zurui reached the entrance to the Wraith Woodlands; he didn’t expect the mesmerizing scenery.

Contrary to the name, the forest looks like a beautiful park filled with similar thriving weeping willows with the golden and green delicate leaves dropping like pendants from the branches.

It’s beautiful. He almost thought he had return to his previous world.

Out of sudden, one of these trees moved, shed all the leaves and became a withered tree with its bark wrinkled and black as soot. Then it swung its branches, "Rawr!"

[Gnarled Walkers Level 20 (HP: 24, 000/ 24, 000)]

(A/N: Gnome Walker or Wood Wraith in gaming sense.)

Zurui: "..." No, it’s not beautiful!

But fortunately it was not the same wraith in his mind otherwise dealing with it would be tricky without light element skills.

Even though this wood wraith looks daunting, they still have a weakness.

"Fire ball!"

At the sight of the flames, the gnarled walkers appeared frightened and let out screeching noises.

Zurui synthesize several torches until he couldn’t carry anymore before escaping.

Four minutes after Zurui entered the forest, a group of more than 30 players appeared near the spot he had rested before.

"Boss, that trail of blood leads to that forest, those are filled with wraiths and I heard that they are hard to deal with. Are we still going to chase him?"

"We chase him! With that injury, he must not have gone far and will only linger in the outskirts. We can’t give up. Have you seen his gears? That’s a fat sheep. I bet his inventory is rich as well. In addition, once he’s dead, his territory and everything in it will become ours.

++++

Boom-

The guards stationed at the quarry were startled and saw a thick smoke coming from the west side, where the prison was located.

"They’re back again?"

Haoran’s expression changed. He thought it was Xiao Hua but upon listening to conversation of the brothers beside him, he calmed down.

"It must be them again." Jun Chang said when he heard the explosion.

"Big Brother, what are you talking about?" Junjie asked.

"After you left, there was some group setting small fires in the vicinity of the territory. The people here already dispatched team to capture the arsonists but they failed to apprehend it. We don’t even know what they looked like."

"That General Kang and his henchmen committed many evil deeds, it’s probably an enemy." Junjie clicked his tongue.

Nervous, Jun Chang reminded his brother, "Junjie, lower your voice or those guards will hear you."

The monk working beside the two were forced to hear their talk.

Junjie? Brother?

This kid didn’t roast his brain his fever, right? That old man looks like in his 50s, how could it be Jun Chang’s younger brother?

Because the space inside the quarry was dim, no one other than Haoran sensed Chunhua’s returning.

"I’m back."

Haoran felt the girl come near hear and whispered, "A’Ran we might need to get out here fast."

Judging from the guilty tone of her voice, something must have gone wrong. "What happened?"

"Well, you see..." Chunhua sighed exhaustedly and recounted what happened.

A few minutes ago...

Outside of the private residence of the General Kang, there were two players patrolling, one of them was struck in his neck, knocked out cold and was dragged somewhere.

"Hmmph!"

Chunhua took off the man’s gears and weapons, replaced the man and pretended to patrol around.

At this distance, she had no problem hearing their conversation.

"We’ll come for it during the monthly provisions. Make sure to..."

To what?

Chunhua stepped closer to the wall and pressed her ears.

[Your summon, Little Noodle had killed a...]

[Exp +20]

Experience points?

"...as fertilizer..."

What fertilizer? Chunhua returned her attention.

These liches came here to plant?

[Your familiar, Little Mantou had killed a...]

[Exp +15]

"...it’s need to be watc....ering..."

What did they say?

Was it watering?

They really came here to plant? Don’t they have garden in their planet?

Chunhua pressed her ears further.

[Your summon, Little Ginseng had kill a...]

[Exp +18]

"...to grow well..."

[Your summon, Little Lotus had killed a...]

"...reach maturity and control..."

Chunhua was restless and heightened her sense of hearing, not wanting miss another detail but....

[Exp +21]

[Exp +10]

[Exp +21]

[Exp...]

The system sounds became more annoying instead.

In the end, Chunhua had a bitter expression on her face. "Nevermind, I’ll just capture them instead and let them spill the beans."

"Something came up. We’ll resume the talk tomorrow."

Tomorrow?

Chunhua halted her plan.

Their visitor tokens should be at least last for a few days. It seems she needed to go back here tomorrow.

What if they had other members? She can capture them in one sweep.

When she pried a hole in the wall, she found out that the liches were gone, and only a white-haired old man remained, admiring a small pouch in his hand.

She couldn’t feel the auras of liches anymore within the area.

"This should be General Kang? He really looked like the one describe in the novel- beaded brown eyes, wrinkled skin, white side burns, a decorated military uniform, shrewd and stern gaze."

After taking a last look at the general, Chunhua was about to return back, when something came out of her chest and shot towards the Old man.

General Kang stared blankly at the ten-meter tall purple Venus fly trap. "Monster! Somebody—"

The venus fly trap opened its mouth before screeching, "Scree!"
