Seeing that it had once again become a two-on-one situation, [ the Retreat Drum Player ] finally made up his mind:
"Okay, I agree, but I have one condition."
[ Howling Pothos ]'s arm armor was right at his feet. With this in hand, [ Retreat Drum Player ] felt a bit more confident in his bargaining:
"When you're rescuing people, you have to rescue each team one by one in turn. You can't rescue everyone on your team first and then run away."
Although he knew that once he gave away the arm armor, he would have no more trump cards left, he still planned to negotiate with his old colleague.
If he does as promised, there's nothing wrong with it; but if he goes back on his word, all he can do is strongly condemn the other party.
But to my surprise, [ Howling Pothos ] didn't care at all:
"No problem, that's what I intended anyway."
These words made the [ Retreat Drum Player ] seem a bit petty.
Hearing this, he said nothing more, and with a flick of his right foot, he kicked the arm armor towards [ Howling Pothos ]. His strength was perfectly controlled, and the arm armor quickly spun and wrapped around [ Howling Pothos ]'s arm.
The Blood-Drinking Thornbush, responsible for absorbing blood and converting nutrients, pierced its skin, and [ Howling Pothos ] turned its head and began to fire crossbow bolts continuously, using the reaction force to push its body outwards.
After exhausting its reserves of Directed Alienation arrows and forcibly replenishing itself with two vials of health ( Nutrient-Rich Resin ), the familiar gravity finally Descent upon [ Howling Pothos ] once again.
He left the Weightlessness area from a height of over ten meters, quickly regained his balance during his descent, and the bark shield in his hand immediately appeared. With a slam, he landed steadily on the ground.
"Awesome!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Amazing! Amazing!"
Cheers erupted from the crowd, and everyone was watching [ Howling Pothos ].
[ Howling Pothos ] didn't say anything more. He quickly removed the arm armor that was drinking his own blood, took out several Deadwood Vine and dried saplings of Strangler Fig from the pocket at his waist, and stuck them into his body.
He used two vines to secure himself to the ground, while the other two vines extended forward into the Weightlessness Domain.
The two vines respectively caught the [ Retreat Drum Player ] and the [ Elderly and Children Fly First ].
Just as [ Howling Pothos ] was about to exert force to pull the two out, [ Retreat Drum Player ] suddenly shouted:
"Wait a minute!"
[ Howling Pothos ] suddenly withdrew its strength, and [ Retreat Drum Player ] asked:
How far can your vines extend at most?
[ Howling Pothos ] thought for a moment:
"If it's Oil Vine, the longest would be about thirty meters; Deadwood Vine would be about twenty-five meters; Strangler Fig would be about twenty meters."
"No, it's not long enough."
The [ Retreat Drum Player ]'s expression became more serious:
"You can't rescue them, you can only pull out the few of us who are close to the border."
"What should we do then?"
[ Elderly and Children Fly First ] asked with surprise and uncertainty. Although he was not as high-level as [ Howling Pothos ], judging from the other party's self-introduction, their [ Plant Compatibility ] should be about the same.
If even the vines of the Howling Pothos aren't long enough, then his own vines certainly aren't long enough either.
Just then, [ Litang's Supremely Fierce Tiger ] suddenly said:
"Simple, we just need to connect everything together and have Brother Pothos pull it out together."
After a moment's thought, everyone realized that this method was indeed quite good.
Although there were still eleven people floating inside, it wasn't too difficult to pull so many people in zero gravity.
The group exchanged glances and quickly began planting Aberration plants on their bodies, then they pulled each other's hands and feet together.
The eleven people formed a completely irregular and aesthetically pleasing plant network. [ Howling Pothos ] tied two vines to two exposed boulders around them, and then pulled with all his might!
The first to leave the area were [ the Retreat Drum Player ] and [ the Elderly and Children Fly First ].
The two were accelerated downwards by gravity, which in turn accelerated the players behind them. Finally, the group was thrown out like a blockage being cleared from a pipe, piling up on the ground.
Amidst cries of "Ouch, ouch," the players broke free of the vines binding them and stood up. The previous hostility between them had lessened, but since they weren't acquaintances, they didn't exchange more than a few words.
Suddenly a player said:
"Wait a minute, our horses are still floating inside!"
"And there's a carriage!"
"And weapons!"
There's still food!
Everyone looked towards the gravity field they had just escaped from, only to see several Hoofed Beast looking at them with an "Oh, you still remember me" kind of gaze.
Seeing this, the three teams no longer had any barriers and began to retrieve items from the gravity field.
A dozen minutes later, it had gotten dark. With the help of their night vision, the group finally confirmed that, apart from a very few items that had drifted far away, most of the items, such as the Hoofed Beast and the carriages, had been successfully recovered.
Gazing at the pitch-black night, the " Elderly and Children Fly First couldn't help but pose a profound question:
How can we navigate to avoid Weightlessness?
Yes, how can we avoid this area?
This Weightlessness zone has very clear boundaries with its surroundings, leaving no room for simply moving in the opposite direction to avoid it after feeling light.
[ Easily Soluble in Water ] (interjection):
"Don't worry about how to avoid it for now. Just make sure everyone keeps their zippers up and tries not to leave anything in the carriage except for themselves."
With the detour now confirmed, everyone fell silent once again.
Just then, [ Zhongde ], who had been silent all along, suddenly seemed possessed by something and shouted out a line in a very loud voice:
"The iron chains linked the boats, making it feel like walking on flat ground!"
After a moment of silence, everyone burst into laughter.
Even those present who hadn't played that infamous game immediately grasped the meaning of that phrase.
The Wilderness of Chaos is so dangerous that a twelve-person squad is always safer than a four-person squad.
As for the question of when the Klaf City was first developed, such a large ruined city would take an unknown amount of time to find, let alone conduct a detailed exploration of its interior.
It can definitely fit twelve people, let alone twelve hundred.
The players quickly assembled the carriages, using vines to connect the six Hoofed Beast, the three carriages, and the twelve players in a row.
"If you feel the gravity is off, shout immediately, and everyone will turn left to get you out."
"Good."
[ Elderly and Children Fly First ] revealed a smile that looked more like a grimace.
Considering his previous erratic behavior, the two teams formed an alliance at this moment and reached a consensus.
His chariot ultimately became the one closest to the gravitational field.
"Let's get going without delay."
He mustered his strength and shouted, "[ Easily Soluble in Water ]," but then suddenly interrupted:
"Wait a minute, we need to warn the players behind us that it's dangerous here."
As he spoke, he removed a plank from the carriage, intending to stick it into the ground.
"Isn't it too close here?"
[ Elderly and Children Fly First ] were reminded:
"Aren't road signs supposed to be put up in advance?"
That makes sense.
[ Easily Soluble in Water ] Move the wooden sign forward a dozen steps and write a line of text on it:
[Danger ahead, turn left and follow the tire tracks]
