American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Big Brother Li's face quickly turned pale.

In the blink of an eye, two adorable, doll-like little children with tufted hairstyles appeared in front of the Land God Temple.

They frolicked and giggled, spinning in circles, occasionally glancing at Big Brother Li and the others, their smiles even more innocent and bright.

Although they were clearly adorable children, Big Brother Li and the others seemed to see ghosts, their entire beings on the verge of collapse.

"Run, run quickly!"

He roared in a low voice, picked up his weapon, and twisted around, crashing out of the window.

The others followed like a swarm, scattering in all directions, escaping from the Land God Temple through the rafters and other windows. Some, in their haste, even smashed through the roof tiles, leaping across the rooftops and disappearing.

In the blink of an eye, the people in the Land God Temple vanished, and the two children who had been playing suddenly changed their expressions.

Their happy smiles turned gloomy, their fair skin turned blue-black, and the heavy dark circles under their eyes, paired with their blue irises and the jagged teeth like small saw blades, instantly made the atmosphere terrifying.

The children shrieked and transformed into streaks of red light, plunging into the fog.

…

The low trees receded continuously. Big Brother Li leaped up, easily clearing a wall more than two people tall, landing in a large courtyard, then rolled forward, hiding behind a rockery.

Bang!

The rockery exploded, and the little ghost suddenly appeared in front of him, its face contorted, its small hands covered in a large amount of black liquid. Droplets of the viscous liquid fell to the ground, the heat instantly scorching the grass black.

"Damn it, why is it coming after me!"

Big Brother Li cursed under his breath, not having time to think, and quickly retreated.

Sure enough, a vine with barbs burst out of the ground, brushing against Big Brother Li's clothes and flicking upwards.

This vine seemed to possess its own consciousness, twisting in the air a few times before screeching and returning to the little ghost's side, transforming in the blink of an eye into the tufted pigtails on his head.

Where the red rope was tied, a mouth suddenly appeared, letting out a satisfied burp. The little ghost's face immediately turned rosy, and he opened his mouth wide, spitting out three bloody human heads in succession.

Surrounded by the mist, the three heads either wore expressions of surprise or panic, their faces so lifelike that at first glance, one might think they were real living people.

Big Brother Li glanced at them hurriedly, his heart sinking.

These three people had been hiding with him in the Land God Temple, and before they separated, they had even asked him about the location of purple herbs and other strange plants.

Unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, they were caught by the little ghost and devoured.

Although the little ghost ate people, it never ate their heads, and one could still barely recognize the deceased. The dangers and oddities in the town were countless, and the closer one got to the center, the more those strange people ate people without spitting out bones.

Every year in this town, the number of people who disappeared without a trace was in the hundreds.

And that didn't even include some mountain people who accidentally wandered in.

Boom!

A distant earth-shattering rumble occurred, and a massive shockwave pressed the fog, surging in all directions. From afar, a large amount of black smoke could be seen forming in the air.

Big Brother Li was terrified and bewildered. He didn't know what had happened.

Although in this strange town, every time night fell, the fog would become denser, and it was also the time when various monsters in the town came out to roam.

But most of these monsters acted alone, and while their attacks were quite terrifying, they wouldn't be terrifying to this extent.

Boom!

These strange anomalies seemed to be completely unable to see him, even if they met face to face, they would not attack.

This made Qi Shan quite curious. He had even taken the initiative to attack the little ghost and the Iron Float Troup.

But the other party only took the beating, without retaliating, and even without any angry emotions. Those who wandered casually in the streets, got up and continued to wander. Those who chased humans, turned over and continued to chase.

Being interrupted had absolutely no effect.

The cannon fire continued, but the town, which was constantly being bombed, gradually began to change. The soil flew, one pit after another appeared on the ground, houses collapsed, and roads shattered.

And in the midst of the huge roar, many strange root systems sprouted from the ground like bamboo shoots after rain, as thin as ox hair, yet long and tough.

These things seemed to have their own consciousness, gathering in large numbers, twisting, and forming strange vines.

Ignoring the danger of being bombarded, they headed towards the direction of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The vines were like giant snakes, spreading at an incredible speed. A large number of vines gathered, forming thicker branches, and in the hazy mist, there was a faint feeling of a giant dragon emerging from the sea.

Qi Shan narrowed his eyes slightly. Through the ability of Kagura Shingan, he could clearly see that the vines had spread out of the valley, and in a very short time, had tightly surrounded the 4,000-plus troops. Then, he heard shrill and scattered screams coming from afar.

Qi Shan's eyebrows twitched. This strange town was indeed not so easy to deal with.

The vines killed people very quickly. The branches gathered and dispersed at will, and the branches were hard and sharp. Usually, only one charge was needed to bring about a large number of casualties.

The Ming Dynasty's army had long rotted to its core. Even in human battles on the battlefield, more than 10% would immediately collapse, let alone now that they were encountering a large group of mountain demons and tree monsters.

After only resisting for a while, the so-called elite troops directly collapsed.

They cried for their parents and ran away in all directions, but were killed by the surrounding vines.

Within just half an hour, the army of several thousand people was silenced. A large number of corpses lay scattered on the hillside, and not a single one ran out from top to bottom.

After the slaughter, the vines began to harvest nutrients. They pierced their roots into the corpses, and the corpses withered and shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a large amount of black powder.

It seems that ordinary people cannot be relied upon. Even cannons can't do anything to the town.

I still have to go and investigate myself!

Qi Shan shook his head slightly, and his figure flickered and disappeared.
