Everyone immediately became tense when all the thick and strong vines started moving slowly.

“All the soldiers and survivors, get back. Move far away, hurry,” Major Kyle immediately instructed.

Except for the ability users who could fight against the mutated plant, everyone hurriedly got inside the cars and moved back as far as they could.

Shua… Shua… shua…

The sound of vines moving became clearer as their movements started to get faster.

“Be careful, everyone,” Major Kyle said as he slowly gathered his fire energy in his hand.

There were a total of fourteen ability users, but Dudu was still young, so only thirteen ability users could fight. Even among the thirteen ability users, one of them was only sixteen, but that young boy was very adept at fighting. Moreover, his ice ability was very strong, even though it was still at a low level.

All the ability users got ready to fight.

The car that was hanging from the bridge started to make a creaking sound as the vines holding it started moving.

The vines of the mutated plant coiled around the car’s body started to move, and the car was pulled up.

Sylas frowned when he noticed it.

Suddenly, the vines holding the car swung the car towards them.

Sylas immediately stepped forward before others could react and opened up a space barrier around them.

Bang!

The car slammed into the space barrier and fell down with a loud noise onto the bridge.

The rest of the vines started rushing towards them at a great speed. Their movements were like serpents.

Spatial blades rushed out from Sylas’ hand and cut down several vines, but they kept coming.

Dylan caught the vines with his bare hands and pulled them. The vines snapped and wilted. At the same time, Major Kyle’s fire ability burned several vines. Apart from Major Kyle, there were two others who had awakened a fire ability, so there were three fire ability users among them. But among them, Major Kyle’s fire ability was the strongest.

Condensed water attacks and ice blades also rushed out, attacking the vines.

“Watch out! The vines are coming from beneath the bridge too,” Sylas immediately warned them.

Several small stone spikes rushed out from behind Shuan and immediately attacked the vines below the bridge.

“We have to quickly find its main body and destroy it. Otherwise, these vines will keep coming, and we will be exhausted,” Major Kyle said as he wielded fire in both hands and burned the vines. The vines burned halfway before going out. It was impossible to burn its main body through its vines.

“The main body of the mutated plants seems to be in the middle of the bridge,” Sylas said.

The mutated vines lashed down from the suspension cables like whips with great speed and force.

“Stay back!” Shuan shouted.

Sylas dodged and retreated a few meters away.

Bang!

The vines struck the bridge, and the concrete on the surface of the bridge cracked.

Green vines shot out and tangled with the mutated plant vines.

Plant energy surged out as Serena used her vines to fight against them. Her vines coiled around the mutated plant’s vines, and suddenly sharp thorns came out from Serena’s vines and tore apart the mutated plant’s vines, turning them into shreds.

Slash!

Leo used a sharp knife to cut off the mutated plant’s vines. Even though his ability was not a combat type, he still insisted on fighting together with the rest of the ability users. As an awakened human, his overall strength was stronger than normal humans, so he denied Major Kyle’s suggestion of staying with the survivors and chose to fight.

It was not only Leo who chose to fight like this. Another soldier had also awakened a healing ability, and just like Leo, he also chose to fight with them instead of staying behind.

The mutated vines began moving faster and writhed violently. Their attacks became fiercer and fiercer.

The vines lashed wildly, slamming into the bridge and scraping against steel cables. One vine pierced through the bridge railing and attacked Dylan, who was engaged in fighting the mutated vines.

Dylan couldn’t free his hands as both were occupied. He tried to dodge the incoming vine attack but couldn’t. Dylan’s pupils shrank as he saw the vine coming straight at him. If he didn’t avoid the vine, his body would be pierced through.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed, and the vine was cut down with a sharp ice blade.

Dylan turned his head and saw the young boy flipping over the railing as ice blades rushed out from his hand.

“Thanks, Evin,” Dylan said as he flashed a smirk at the young boy with the ice ability.

Sylas was slowly making his way towards the middle as he fought the vines.

Suddenly, Sylas paused his actions. He frowned as he noticed the vines starting to swell grotesquely. Their diameter increased, and they started to bulge unnaturally.

‘What is it up to?’ Sylas thought with a frown.

Soon the others also noticed the abnormality.

“What’s happening?” Serena asked.

“Stay alert, everyone,” Major Kyle warned.

The vines started to become even more violent, and they started thrashing against the bridge.

“Oh no, the bridge,” Shuan said as he saw the vines thrashing against the bridge.

“We have to stop it; otherwise, the bridge will get damaged,” Major Kyle said as he condensed several fireballs and sent them towards the vines.

The mutated plant went berserk.

All remaining vines launched downward simultaneously towards them.

A few suspension cables were damaged, and the railings got damaged too. The vines were very strong, capable of even piercing through concrete.

Major Kyle’s fire surged upward, burning several midair. Sylas sliced others apart with spatial blades.

Two water ability users sent water attacks in an arc. At the same time, Evin used his ice ability and turned the water into sharp icy blades, cutting down several vines in one go. Their cooperation was smooth.

“Nice trick,” Dylan remarked when he witnessed that move.

“Cool!” another ability user remarked.

“Watch out!” Evin suddenly shouted.

A huge steel beam used to support the bridge was immediately thrown towards Dylan and Major Kyle’s direction by the vines.

Dylan immediately ran forward and leaped up with his fist clenched tight. When the steel reached Dylan, he punched it with force, and it immediately flew out of the bridge and fell into the river with a huge splash.

Dylan landed on the bridge, shook his fist, and said, “That hurt like hell.”

“We have to get to the mutated plants’ main body as soon as possible,” Major Kyle said.

The burnt vines became limp, and those cut off wilted and lay on the bridge.

Sylas’ senses spread out around the bridge as he tried to locate the main body of the mutated plants. Sylas could sense the presence of three mutated plants.

‘Found it,’ Sylas uttered as he sensed the main bodies of the mutated plants on the side of the bridge and underneath the bridge.

Sylas waved his hand, and several spatial blades rushed out as he cleared his way and made his way towards the mutated plants’ main bodies.

The mutated plants seemed to sense Sylas approaching their main bodies and immediately intensified their attacks on him.

A huge thick vine bigger than the rest of the mutated vines shot straight at Sylas.

Sylas immediately sent out his spatial blade, but the spatial blade failed to cut off the vine. It still shot towards Sylas at a very fast speed.

Sylas immediately raised a space barrier in front of him.

Bang!

The huge vine slammed into Sylas’ space barrier, sending Sylas several steps back. The space barrier trembled due to the impact.

‘So strong!’ Sylas thought as he retreated several meters back and immediately condensed a compressed spatial blade.

The thick vine recoiled and immediately shot again at Sylas.

Sylas waved his hand, and the compressed spatial blade rushed out at a great speed. The vine seemed to have its own vision as it sensed the danger and immediately dodged the compressed spatial blade at a fast speed. It moved like a serpent, and its body kept bulging as it headed straight at Sylas.

Sylas quickly sidestepped, but the vine immediately chased after him.

Bang!

The vine smashed the railings as Sylas somersaulted over the railings and sent out another compressed spatial attack.

The vine shot straight up and immediately came down, lashing at Sylas like a whip.

Sylas immediately dodged and waved his hand. Several spatial blades rushed out in an arc shape aimed at the vine.

The vine immediately recoiled backward, avoiding the spatial blades. At the same time, several smaller vines attacked Sylas.

The number of vines attacking him was becoming overwhelming. With both the bigger one and smaller vines ganging up on him, Sylas was not having it easy.

‘This cannot go on like this,’ Sylas thought.

Space energy surged around Sylas, and spatial blades started to circle around him fiercely.
