Chapter 248 Within Half an Hour

Everyone present didn't understand what Chen Minghao meant by this.

What time is it?

Shouldn't the most urgent task be to hurry up and chase the dead branch and find He Chengji?

But Song Chen understood what Chen Minghao meant.

The reason why poison-type psychics can help others detoxify is that they use their psychic powers to absorb the toxins in the body of the poisoned person, and then neutralize and resolve them.

And Chen Minghao asked everyone to come to his side, and also wanted to use the released psychic powers to neutralize the toxins in the surrounding fog, so that everyone can continue to move forward in the fog normally.

However, this method also has a disadvantage.

That is, the range of psychic power release is extremely limited.

Only by getting close to the poison-type psychic and within the range of psychic power release can the toxins be neutralized. Once it exceeds the range, it will be poisoned immediately.

This is why Chen Minghao asked everyone to gather around him.

Chen Minghao was a little surprised to see Song Chen standing next to him first. He didn't expect Song Chen to make such a quick judgment to believe in himself.

When the others saw Song Chen standing next to Chen Minghao, they did not hesitate any longer and quickly stood next to Chen Minghao.

After everyone stood over, Chen Minghao slowly released his supernatural power, forming a light green protective barrier around everyone.

"Remember, no matter what happens, you can't leave the range covered by this barrier. There is no supernatural power outside, and you will be poisoned immediately once you go out."

Chen Minghao looked serious, and after a slight pause, he continued: "The toxins in this mist are more violent than when I saw it during the day. If someone is really poisoned, I am not sure if I can help you detoxify quickly under the circumstances at that time, so all of you should pay attention to try not to be infected with this toxin."

After listening to Chen Minghao's words, everyone suddenly realized, and then nodded seriously.

They didn't completely ignore their lives. Unless there were special circumstances, everyone still cherished their lives very much.

Under the protection of Chen Minghao's supernatural power, everyone continued to walk deep into the woods.

But the dead branch had already disappeared, completely lost its trace.

However, after everyone's careful and diligent search, they soon found the traces of the dead branch on the ground and the tree trunk.

"It is indeed still moving into the woods." Yang Lin judged, "We just need to follow the traces left by the dead branch and we should be able to find He Chengji."

The others nodded and followed Yang Lin into the woods.

But Song Chen looked up at the dead trees around him.

For some reason, these dead trees wrapped in mist gave him a very strange feeling, as if these dead trees inside were completely different from those outside, not completely dead, and were staring at him coldly.

"Did you find anything?" Ji Yumo noticed that Song Chen's expression was not right, and couldn't help asking.

"Nothing." Song Chen shook his head.

If these dead trees were really not dead, they would have attacked them long ago.

What's more, if his guess was right, there should be a very powerful mutant plant in this forest. Under the invasion of that mutant plant, these dead trees could not have survived.

Maybe he was just thinking too much.

The crowd continued to walk into the woods. The further they walked, the thicker the fog became.

Even though they hid in Chen Minghao's supernatural barrier and the toxins in the fog could not penetrate, they still felt waves of pungent smells coming, choking their throats.

Chen Minghao only felt that the supernatural power in his body was rapidly fading away.

In order to neutralize the toxins in the surrounding fog, he had increased the output power of his supernatural power to the maximum. Even as a fourth-level supernatural person, he began to feel a little overwhelmed in the face of such a heavy burden.

"My supernatural power can't last long. We must find He Chengji and take him away within half an hour." Chen Minghao said with all his strength.

Looking at Chen Minghao's vaguely pale face, everyone knew that he couldn't hold on for long, so they immediately quickened their pace and walked quickly into the depths of the woods.

But half an hour was too tight.

They had walked for so long and still hadn't seen He Chengji. It was not easy to find He Chengji and take him away within half an hour.

But no matter what, they would not give up.

Fortunately, after walking forward for about five minutes, an unusually thick willow tree appeared in front of them. Lu Peng used his eyesight enhanced by his supernatural powers to see He Chengji, who was in a coma, on the branches of the willow tree.

"Chengji!"

Lu Peng shouted excitedly.

But He Chengji lowered his head and did not react at all.

Seeing this, Lu Peng was anxious to rush forward to save He Chengji, but was stopped by Song Chen.

"Don't worry!"

"But!"

Song Chen ignored the anxious Lu Peng and squinted at He Chengji, who was tied tightly by willow branches.

He Chengji's clothes were intact, but his whole body was exposed to the mist. Although his face was only a little pale, he should have been in a state of deep poisoning. I don't know if this is why he fell into a coma.

In addition to He Chengji, various creatures were tied to other branches of the willow tree.

There were animals and zombies.

It seems that the willow tree in front of him is the strongest existence in this forest. The creatures that disappeared around him have all become his food, and those that cannot be eaten or digested are tied to the branches as spare food.

This scene can't help but remind Song Chen of the ginkgo tree he encountered in the Agricultural Expo Park.

The corpse pupae hanging on the branches are no different from the scene in front of him.

Song Chen has reason to suspect that all mutant plants like to make corpse pupae of prey that they can't finish eating, and then release them to eat when they want to eat.

This seems to be their common hobby.
