Suddenly, a deafening roar!
The rainforest trembled once more, and rows of Mutated Zombie Trees in the distance toppled over.
Li Pu stared intently! The Elephant that had been thrown into the tropical exhibit was still alive! It was charging towards them both in a frenzy, already close at hand.
He couldn't spare a thought for Ryoko on the Elephant's back, the second woman he had met in this world.
Tifa abruptly pushed him aside, her hands forming claws! She forcibly grabbed the tusks and began to wrestle with the giant Elephant.
Tifa swayed left! Swayed right! Stepping on the Elephant's nose, the air around her exploded! Suddenly flipping the entire Elephant into the air.
The poor Elephant had its nose dislodged and tumbled several times in the air before crashing into the swamp.
"Something's not right, that energy isn't the Elephant's!" Li Pu frowned.
While Tifa was holding off the Elephant, a shadow approached Li Pu from beneath the swamp.
A giant Mutated Crocodile covered in moss suddenly burst out of the water, leaping up with its bloody maw wide open, ready to devour Li Pu.
Relying on his perception of the air currents, Li Pu spun around and leaped into the air, kicking out with all his might with his left foot! He wasn't sent flying, but only moved half a meter away.
Li Pu now suspected that the Crocodile weighed at least ten tons.
The Crocodile landed, splashing up a rain of mud that blotted out the sky. Under the cover of the mud rain, the Crocodile charged again like a madman.
"Pitter-patter~" The sound of the Crocodile's short legs slapping the mud rang out rapidly, reaching Li Pu in an instant!
Its bloody maw opened, revealing a distorted face in its throat, and a ring of sharp teeth began to spin rapidly like a Chainsaw.
"Chainsaw Teeth? Did it merge with the zookeeper?" Li Pu was used to these bizarre things from the zoo, and he didn't want to think about it.
There was no time to dodge, the Mutated Crocodile was too big and fast. The Arm Bracer in his hand moved as he willed, transforming into a giant fist Arm Bracer, barely managing to prop open the gaping maw.
Each giant fist gripped the Mutated Crocodile's upper and lower jaws.
The sparks from the Chainsaw-like spinning teeth of the Crocodile rubbing against the giant fist Arm Bracer illuminated the surroundings.
The grating sound of iron fists grinding against teeth grew louder and louder.
The Mutated Crocodile's bite force was incredibly strong, and it twisted its entire body, initiating a death roll.
"Secret Technique Liberation! Activate!"
On the other side, Tifa was in an even more precarious situation.
The Plant Woman suddenly emerged from the ground, joining forces with the Elephant that had just stood up.
The Elephant was nothing to fear in Tifa's eyes, but the woman who could control plants was too troublesome.
The dark purple vines she extended and the wooden thorns that sprouted from the ground were all incredibly Anomalies.
Tifa struggled to strike a fighting pose, "I don't have much Materia, I can only use it now!"
She clapped her gauntlets together, and red and blue light shone on her hands respectively.
"Materia! Activate!"
Tifa, with crimson flames in one hand and freezing ice in the other, launched a fierce counter-charge against the Elephant's charge and the Plant Woman's vines!
The two women watching the holographic image didn't blink.
"Ice and Fire Dual Wield?" Wolf Spider looked at the Materia on Tifa's gloves, her eyes shining.
Wolf Mother, on the other hand, kept staring at Li Pu, who was entangled with the Mutated Crocodile.
"That child is in a bad situation."
The author has something to say:
Author's note: The update is late, I'm kowtowing to everyone to apologize mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Go to bed early~
Chapter 67 Wildfire Spreads Five Thousand Li - End of Volume 1
Flames burned around him, and Li Pu was now very irritable.
The clothes on his upper body had become tattered in the struggle with the Crocodile, but fortunately, the Aphrodisiac Pollen inside had long been packed into a sealed bag by Li Pu and put into his backpack.
The two women watching the battle in Jericho City couldn't help but turn their attention to Li Pu.
Wolf Spider gave up on Tifa, who had just displayed Ice and Fire Dual Wield, and looked at Li Pu, saying, "That child is quite sturdy."
"What, the highest commander of Jericho City, won't even let children go?" Wolf Mother stared at Li Pu on the screen, sarcastically without turning her head.
Wolf Spider smiled without getting angry, and the two continued to watch with tacit understanding.
"I don't want to wrestle with a monster in the mud!" With a roar! His two hands clamped down on the Mutated Crocodile's Chainsaw maw, violently smashing it against the surrounding Zombie trees.
"Crack! Crack!" The thick trees groaned as they were broken and fell.
"I want to roll around in bed with the big guys from the 3D District!!!!"
The muscles in his arms bulged as he roared and exerted force.
"Riiiip!" With a sound, the Mutated Crocodile's entire body was torn in half by Li Pu, who was holding its mouth!
Black, bloody intestines fell into the black, muddy ground like hanging noodles.
As the light dissipated, the two halves of the crocodile gradually stopped struggling, lifeless.
Specks of light were absorbed by the Arm Bracer, and Li Pu's Sea of Qi instantly returned to full.
On the other side, Tifa was in a bitter fight, wielding one ice and one fire gauntlet with ease at first.
"Boost Drive!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Tifa's figure transformed into a red meteor, flashing and dancing between the mutated Elephant and the Plant Woman.
"Boom!" The Elephant, its trunk already stomped off by Tifa, wailed, exposing its snow-white nasal bone, and collapsed under the strain, slowly sinking into the swamp.
"Pa pa pa pa!" The Plant Woman wildly brandished the purplish-black vines that spread from her body.
After a round of attacks, Tifa somersaulted away, landing gracefully like a superheroic squirrel.
The world before her eyes became hazy, and her limbs gradually grew numb. Tifa's black hair danced in the wind as she shook her head, trying to clear her mind.
She stretched out her hands and looked at her body, noticing a few small, crisscrossing cuts on her fair skin, tiny wounds caused by the Plant Woman's vine barbs.
"Crap, this Toxin..." Tifa, with zero Toxin resistance, blacked out.
The Wolf Spider narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying gently, "One down already. Are you sure you want to keep betting everything? I could use a gardener."
"Easy work, excellent benefits, and no wage theft."
The Wolf Mother ignored her and continued watching the holographic image.
"Tifa!" Li Pu sprinted to Tifa's side.
He quickly used the Medical Knowledge Liang Mei had left in his mind to check Tifa's condition.
"Thank goodness... just unconscious."
"Whoosh~" Countless Ground Spikes bloomed from the ground, and Li Pu instantly scooped up Tifa and leaped into the air.
"Secret Technique Liberation! Second Stage! Open!"
"Bang!!!" A surging red aura exploded around Li Pu.
The entire forest is one entity; I can't just leave Tifa here. Thinking this, Li Pu unleashed inhuman speed, rushing like a bullet out of the rainforest.
However, vines from all directions blotted out the sky, trapping him in a cage.
"Roar!!!" At that moment, the Green-Haired Lion King Kane roared and appeared in the rainforest!
He led his pride of Lionesses, tearing at the vines and howling at Li Pu.
Confused, Li Pu carried Tifa into the midst of the lions.
The lions showed no hostility; instead, they protected Li Pu and Tifa in their center.
"This is? Repaying a debt?" Li Pu was skeptical.
I have to trust them this once; I probably won't get out of the rainforest before dawn.
Looking at the purplish-black vines flying everywhere and the Plant Woman's wicked smile, There's no turning back; time to gamble!
He placed Tifa in the center of the lion pride, the Lionesses crowding around her. "Stay here! Protect her for me!"
The Green-Haired Lion King Kane responded with a soft growl.
"Bang!" Crushing the ground, Li Pu leaped out of the lion pride.
Several thick, purplish-black vines hurtled towards him. Li Pu clenched his fist, cocked his arm, and unleashed a Blazing Fist!
"Boom!" The scattered flames repelled the vines. Li Pu landed heavily, the violent pressure stirring up a massive mud wave in the swamp, and mud rained down again from the sky.
"Whoosh!" With a sound, Li Pu transformed his Arm Bracer from a fist into a Claw, and charged forward.
The thick vines that attacked again were sliced into pieces by Li Pu's sharp Claw Arm Bracer, meeting his momentum.
He charged forward relentlessly, the light points converted into energy chasing closely behind him.
Ranged attacks are useless; I have to get close and try! Li Pu thought, but the vines and Ground Spikes emerging from all directions annoyed him to no end.
"Boom!" A huge Fireball exploded, and he shot into the air like a rocket, surrounded by burning flames.
Using the Fireball's impact, Li Pu aimed at the Plant Woman and, with another burst of flames, accelerated towards her again.
Chun Li's stern teachings echoed in his ears: "This Energy Palm technique is a close-quarters killing move. Once used, you cannot move. You must concentrate all your energy to control the spiral fluctuation of True Qi in front of your body!"
Thinking of Chun Li's swollen, upturned butt, he smirked. Master, you can't control me if I'm in free fall!
"E! Nergy! Palm!" Half of the True Qi in his Sea of Qi was channeled throughout his body, and a huge Fireball spiraled and burned in the air.
His momentum intensified, transforming into a comet falling from the sky.
Vines rose from all directions, meeting the Fireball in the air and entangling it.
Unfortunately, Li Pu was now unstoppable. He easily broke through the obstacles and headed straight for the culprit.
The vines, burned by flames and torn apart by True Qi, turned into points of light, chasing after Li Pu.
From a distance, it looked like a comet with a long tail.
This palm strike from the sky, wrapped in violent flames and True Qi, struck the Plant Woman head-on.
"Rumble!"
The water in the swampy mire was turned into steam by Li Pu's scorching gale, and a large pit with a wide radius was smashed into the cracked earth by him.
A massive amount of life light, like the tail of a comet, continuously poured into him.
Scorching steam scattered in the pit, the Plant Woman's head having already been crushed by Li Pu.
The woman's body disintegrated into countless tiny vines that burrowed into the ground, only to reform into a human shape not far away.
A dozen or so trees around her became her nourishment, condensing into her new body.
She looked at Li Pu with a wicked smile.
"Heh, as expected, getting close just turns it into a war of attrition." Li Pu also grinned wickedly, "But, fire overcomes wood~"
The airflow exploded, and the entire forest rustled as the trees were buffeted by it: "Secret Technique Liberation! Third Stage! Open!"
[Secret Technique Liberation state activated] [Current level: 3/3]
"Hoo, hoo!" The roaring gale formed by the True Qi outburst almost blew over the nearby Zombie trees and the Plant Woman on the spot.
"Secret Technique Liberation! Bathed in Fire!"
[Secret Technique Outburst has been used, Secret Technique Liberation level consumed by one, current level 2/3] [Bathed in Fire skill temporarily upgraded from (1/9 fragment effect) to (10/9 fragment effect)] [Bathed in Fire skill temporarily upgraded to Southern Bright Leaving Fire] [This temporary effect lasts for 30 seconds] [Countdown begins: 30, 29, 28...]
Scalding heat waves swept the entire field, accompanied by the gale, and the Plant Woman's expression changed.
In the holographic image of the two women's office in Jericho City, the drone's prompt and warning window appeared: "Warning! Warning! Extreme weather encountered, this unit is about to overload and spontaneously combust."
