Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1348: Mysterious Land

“Are you ready?”

A low male voice appeared under the green and oil algae surface. The tone was slightly nervous.

The algae started to move forward. Seven human-shaped algae popped up from the flat surface near three giant trees.

The three trees were huge, and each could reach a hundred meters tall. Not only were they tall, they were thick. A few dozen mature guys couldn’t wrap around them.

These trees had a magical purple color. There was no bark, and it was as if there were curtains pieced together by pearls hanging down from them. The silver pearls gave a gentle glow, making the three giant trees like Christmas trees.

The crowns of the trees were huge. Three trees connected covered a few kilometers.

The branches were weird. The thick branches had spiral-shaped red leaves. In the oval space in the center of the leaves were red fruits the size of strawberries. They were shiny and smooth like jade, giving off a weird fragrance filling the entire region.

These red leaves covered the ground. Many of them had withered and turned dark red. They weren’t spiral-shaped anymore and had become flat.

The dark red here and green outside formed a clear comparison.

If you looked closely, you would notice those leaves occasionally moving slightly.
Those seven human shapes were moving, and no one knew what they were doing.

At a certain time, one of them jumped and charged towards the center of the three trees.

The moment they stepped into the forest, the fallen leaves started to shake. At first, only a few moved, but when the seven of them were a few dozen meters in, all the leaves moved.

They swept up like a whirlwind. Many leaf pythons over two meters tall appeared around.

Looking closely, each leaf had many black bugs behind it.

“Bug Tower has appeared. Don’t enter; it is this place!”

It was the same voice as before.

As he spoke, the others stretched a weird metal device from the algae that looked like a compass. As they took it out, the metal spoon on the metal device flew towards those red leaves on the crown.

“Defend!”

The seven of them formed a defensive formation. They seemed experience against the leaf python bug turrets. Apart from the portion of algae under their feet, those around their body exploded to form many green weapons that flew in all directions.

These algae seemed soft when they were on their bodies, but when they were fired, they became as tough as metal. The bug turrets near them were split and shattered. Some smelly liquid splattered, mixing with the fragrance to cause a weird smell.

These seven people weren’t delighted just because they had a small win. They took a metal tube and opened the lid to reveal some liquid.

Due to this metal tube, the liquid fired a long distance. They touched the bug turret and would scatter them. The liquid also had a corrosive effect. The bugs they touched would smoke and die after rolling on the ground.

When the seven of them saw the situation, they were delighted.

They looked above. The metal spoons were near the crown, charging towards the spiral-shaped leaves that bore fruit. The quickest one had hit an oval leaf. The spoon broke the leaf and dug the red fruit out.

Before the leaves could retract, the spoon had returned. It spun around and flew back through the original path.

Success!

The few of them were delighted. It seemed like they would gain a lot this time!

But accidents happened. Just when they thought they would return with many things this time, the liquid in their metal tubes reduced and then disappeared.

They were stunned, and then that same person cursed, “That liar!”

Without the attacks of the liquid, the bug turrets gathered again and got close to them.

“Let’s go!”

That person bit his teeth and squeezed those words from his throat.

They had spent a lot on this operation: the green algae, metal tubes, and metal devices with spoons spent nearly all their savings.

If everything were smooth, they would get seven Red Scarf Fruits. Not only would they earn it all back, they would profit multiple times.

Now, the problem was that the metal tubes that they were told would last until the metal spoons returned only had half their actual amount.

This pretty much announced the failure of this operation.

The leader had to retreat. If not, they would die here.

They were unwilling, but there was nothing they could do. If the bug turrets got close, they would attack them, and they wouldn’t be able to block.

The few of them ran out. This was a race against time.

“Where is Ah Luo?”

A voice made the team stop. The few of them looked; as expected, they were missing one person. They turned and saw that person called Ah Luo stopping at his original spot. He held a weapon and waved it toward the bug turrets. He waved while looking up and observing the metal spoon.

“Ah Luo, come back!”

The leader opened his eyes and shouted. He wanted to scold his brother for being dumb but it wasn’t the time. He wanted to get him back.

“I want to wait for it!” Ah Luo shouted. He ignored the bugs pouncing on his body, waving his weapon with his eyes looking above.

“Are you crazy? Are you crazy?”

The others shouted. The leader bit his teeth. He took one last look at Ah Luo before shouting for the rest to retreat.

When they got out of the range of the three trees and turned back, they saw Ah Luo’s hand holding the metal board, reaching upwards. The metal spoon landed on it at that moment. The fruit on it looked devilish, but he was already covered in bugs apart from that hand.

A few seconds later, Ah Luo disappeared in the bug ocean.

The few of them shouted in pain. Two of the females cried.

It took some time before they calmed down.

At that moment, a calm voice spread from behind them.

“Where is this?”
