[Lift No.7]
The Bopp Squad also began their exploration of the Limitless City … Although they did not have the two extra points of luck like Han Dong, they were able to encounter giants as soon as the exploration began.
However, they also had an efficient exploration method.
The key point was the "Sixth Origin – Helen Silber".
Due to Helen's innate characteristics, she had a high affinity and control over plants … "Day of the Ladybug" had perfectly replicated this ability into the corresponding temporary body in the game.
As long as one reached out and touched the plants in the Limitless City, one could sense the flow of vitality within and determine the specific direction to go deeper into the city.
There was something special about this.
The small amount of Eitr flowing between the vascular bundles allowed the plants to have a sense of community. Helen, whose level was suppressed, was unable to control the plants here.
Following Helen's senses, the squad continued to go deeper into the city. During this period, the squad also encountered the lowest level "Sub-Human".
"Is this a giant?
It's not as dangerous as we imagined, or is it just the lowest level species we encountered?
This thing's intelligence is still in the undeveloped stage, it completely relies on instinct to move … As long as we touch its heart, we can easily kill it. "
The three-meter tall giant collapsed on the ground. Its body that seemed to be completely unharmed was already dead and rapidly disintegrating.
It was completely different from when Grimm killed the giant with its stomach cut open and his body covered in blood.
There was no trace of blood at the scene, the giant was unharmed, and Bopp's clothes were neat and tidy … A perfectly peeled and even cleaned heart was floating above Bopp's palm.
The way to kill it was simple.
In the initial attack, after understanding the characteristics of the ultra-rapid regeneration and the body shape of the "Blood of the Heart" that was requested by the staff to collect, it was determined that the heart was the key.
Bopp turned his right arm into a void state, penetrating the skin, muscles, and bones, and easily achieved the "Heart Peeling" (the whole process was supplemented by Hyde Darius's "Strong Man Lock" on the giant).
"'Killing the giant' has exceeded the requirements of the initial exploration. If we bring this heart back, we should be able to complete the mission in advance and complete the official team certification.
As an official team, we can understand the details of the Limitless City and the giants. This heart should be able to sell for a lot of money and should be able to exchange for more in-depth information at the trading point.
Let's go, let's go back. "
Just as Bopp made the decision to return,
Helen was in a strange state, her whole body pressed against a huge stalk-like plant … as if she was listening to some kind of sound coming from within the plant.
"Wait … I seem to hear a very weak voice mixed with the plants, trying to call out to me.
The source of the sound corresponds to a unique life aura. It's about ten kilometers away from us. Do you want to go there? This is the first time I've encountered such a situation. The plants I've encountered before have only sensed ordinary vitality. "
Just as Bopp was considering whether or not he should search for the source of the sound without sufficient information, Demps gave him a suggestion.
"The journey of destiny is very particular about 'opportunities and providence'. The overall process is not fixed and linear.
The occasional fortuitous encounter might lead to a brand new route to the final destination. If you miss it, it'll be difficult to encounter it again … Since it's not too far away, I suggest that you take a look. "
Bopp immediately listened to Demps's opinion. "Alright, let's go."
The closer she got to the source of the sound, the clearer the sound became until Helen heard it clearly. "Outsider, please help me."
At a distance of one kilometer, the coverage of the plants in the environment suddenly increased. Some buildings were even mainly made up of plants, while the stone and steel only made up 20%.
Mushroom colonies covered the walls, and there were even large mushroom umbrellas that were several meters tall. They were all constantly spitting out hallucinogenic substances.
Any living being that approached this area would be affected. If they weren't careful, they would get lost in it. Even the giants were no exception.
Finally, everyone found a seemingly bottomless alley.
Their current location was close to the border between the outer city and the inner city.
Dense thorny vines sealed off the top of their heads, and extremely aggressive living plants grew in the alley. If they got close, they would be penetrated … There were even some human faces made of plants that were reflected on both sides of the wall, struggling in pain.
However, the plants here had a different attitude towards Helen.
When Helen walked in front to open up a path, the sealing structure formed by the plants automatically disintegrated and took the initiative to open up a path that led straight to the deepest part.
At the end of the path was a building made purely of plants. All the steel and concrete had been replaced by plants, and the exterior still maintained the appearance of a tall building.
"The source of the sound is in this building. No … this is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hundred-story building suddenly trembled.
Extremely thick roots emerged from the ground, supporting the entire building as it slowly rose.
The huge eyes hidden at the bottom were staring at everyone.
Such a scene made even Bopp take a few steps back.
He didn't expect the target of the sound source to be a plant giant that was hundreds of meters tall. The subhumans they hunted couldn't compare at all.
Just as everyone was about to get into a battle stance.
Helen took the initiative to touch the surface of a huge root and stretched out her hand.
"Don't be nervous. It's not hostile … It just wants us to help! Something unclean has been mixed in its body, and it can't get rid of it by itself.
If we can help it get rid of the thing in its body, it will give us a corresponding gift. "
As soon as she finished speaking, a notification sounded in everyone's heads.
[Infinite City – Side Mission: Giant Tree Ryan needs help!] Triggered.
After achieving the goal, you will receive the exclusive material — Ryan's Tender Branch. You will receive Ryan's help during the subsequent exploration of Infinite City.
Do you want to accept this side mission?]
…
On the other side.
Han Dong and the others were going deeper and deeper into the city according to the reference objects marked on the map.
The "giant's heart" hanging on Grimm's waist played an effective role in attracting the subhumans. Along the way, they encountered three subhumans that weren't very smart, and they were all killed perfectly.
When the other teams noticed the hearts hanging on Grimm's waist, they all avoided them.
When the three of them crossed the area marked on the map and were about to reach the border between the inner and outer city.
A voice that hadn't been heard for a long time came from within his body.
"Nicholas, this Count has found something!
I have adapted to the original smell of this city … The air here is mixed with a completely different smell. It comes from some kind of living creature, but it is completely different from the giants we met before. Do you want to look for the source? "
"Lead the way."
Drops of blood seeped out from his pores, and the Gorefiend Hound condensed.
The split Count's sense of smell became more sensitive. He quickly jumped between the buildings to find a unique smell, and the densely packed buildings gradually became loose.
Until everyone descended from the tall building and arrived at an open space in the middle of the city that was filled with tall grass.
"It's down here! There's a different smell. "
In the tall grass, there was a cave entrance with a diameter of hundreds of meters. There must be a different giant hidden below, or even a treasure.
