The Death Knell

The environment of the entire dimension is dominated by forests, and there are no mountains here. The place Groot wants to take everyone to is, at best, a hillock slightly higher than the ground.

The altitude is probably about a hundred meters. This height is definitely not a mountain, it is just a slope at best.

But there is no way. It is the only one with the highest terrain within the current field of vision. Even if there is no way to find a cave for defense, there is still a condescending advantage in forming an array on the top of the mountain.

A large number of strange plants are coming in a steady stream, and their fangs and big mouths are making harsh noises, which is disturbing.

Fortunately, most of the people present were agents, and they did a good job of managing their emotions. At least no one went crazy because of the voice.

Oh, except Thor, it seems. The more the enemy screams, the higher his fighting spirit becomes, as if he intends to silence these plants.

But how can I put it this way? The visual area of ​​this forest is tens of thousands of square kilometers. Even if the plants don't resist and stand there for everyone to cut, without heavy logging machinery, it will take ten days and a half to cut.

What's more, these things can now resist, not only physical attacks, but also contain toxins.

Whether it can bite everyone is another matter, but at least it can make people nervous.

"They are still afraid of fire."

In Coulson's absence, the Iron Cavalry was responsible for commanding the SHIELD team. She was protected by Groot tied to her chest, and she was still paying attention to the situation on Thor's side through her two thick wooden arms:

"Have you seen that these plants are consciously avoiding the fire area? Even if it is a small flame, they will not choose to cross it, but need to go around it."

Fire caused by lightning is a natural phenomenon. It is believed that before humans mastered the technology of lighting their own fires, they chose to save fire from trees ignited by lightning.

For humans, flame is the earliest recognized form of energy existence and is also a symbol of human civilization.

And now, maybe it can save everyone's life, too.

"We need to find a location that is not surrounded by enemies, and then find a way to light a fire and keep the flame burning for a long time." Skye nodded. She was finally able to move her wrists a little, but the severe pain told her that the condition of her hands was not good now.

"This shouldn't be difficult. Even if these plants contain a lot of liquid, Thor's electric shock can still ignite them." Fitz gave professional advice. He twisted his body as much as possible and looked at the blond man who was left behind by everyone. " When the voltage is strong enough, water will electrolyze into hydrogen and oxygen, a very simple physical phenomenon."

"We are short of accelerant, it would be nice if we had gasoline. Mockingbird was not so optimistic. She bit her sexy thick lips, "And we don't know how long Thor can continue to discharge."

"It would be easier if Iron Man was here, he has the Ark Reactor to power it. "Skye shook her head after saying that, because now that everyone is trapped in a special dimension, it is not up to them to choose who they are with.

The battle between everyone and the plants caused quite a stir. If there were really allies in this dimension, they would have moved closer long ago.

There is not even a single person to be seen now. Either someone was killed by the crazy plant, or there are only so many people in this dimension.

There is no need to think about the situation where you are too far away to arrive in time, because there is a high probability that all the plants in the dimension will go crazy. If a person is alone in the distance, then he is almost dead.

It's useless to think about those things. Now the hills are in front of us. Groot's legs can be stretched like stilts. Every step he takes can take everyone forward thirty or forty meters, so the speed is not slow at all.

This hill is bare, and the trees and larger shrubs have become enemies. The remaining grass does not seem to be a threat at the moment, so there are only sporadic them left on the hillside.

The closer the distance, the worse everyone's mood becomes, because there is no cave at all on this mountain.

"Look, everyone! Good news, it's a mountain of stone!"

Rocket was very happy about this. His pointed hairy mouth

He praised him in front of him, but since he didn't have any gods he believed in, his exclamations stopped there.

Without saying anything more, the raccoon raised the big gun in his hand, took a rough look ahead, and then pulled the trigger.

This gun looks like it's made of various car parts, a typical "orc" style, but it actually fires and it's powerful.

Just pull the trigger, and a golden ball of light spurts out from the holed muzzle like a tractor exhaust pipe. It makes a strange hissing sound and flies towards the hill like a Frisbee.

And with a loud noise and a bright light that almost took away everyone's vision, everyone felt that the ground was shaking, and gravel crackled on everyone like rain.

Fortunately, Groot's arms and branches provided protection, so people only suffered scratches at most.

When the light dissipated and everyone recovered their vision from the bumps, they could see that a smooth cave had been carved out of the side of the hillside, like a drainage ditch sloping downward.

The raccoon touched the handle of his big gun with some distress, and then decisively discarded it, because after firing once, the gun was like a blooming morning glory, and two-thirds of the front end melted and exploded. Repair is no longer possible.

"Quick, I've dug the cave, Groot, run in!"

Rocket shook the branch he grabbed, probably the tree man's hair, and then pointed with his furry paws at the still steaming hole.

"I'm Groot!"

The huge body accelerated with heavy thumping steps, followed by a sliding shovel.

Quickly and accurately, gliding over a distance of more than a hundred meters, the tree man seemed to turn into a surfboard in the tide of hostile plants, riding the wind and waves, knocking away countless enemies who were blocking him, and slid directly into the cave.

Because it was uphill, the terrain also caused him to automatically slow down. He grasped the distance just right and stopped just in time when he entered the cave entrance.

The agents jumped off Groot, who was like a skateboard, and organized defenses on the spot. At the same time, they tried to light a fire to form an isolation zone outside the cave entrance to delay as much time as possible.

The ammunition carried by everyone is limited, as is the physical and mental strength. No one wants to rely on willpower to persevere unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Rocket, do you have any other guns?" Iron Cavalry squatted down, and while bandaging the wound on her arm, she asked the stuffed animal, "I need you to use a weapon that hurts enough to give Thor a shot." "

That's right, Thor needs to be woken up first.

Everyone was being chased by countless plants, but it was better for him. He was flying around above the heads of the enemy group, shouting wildly, shouting shameful slogans that could be heard from a kilometer away.

"Hahaha! I am Thor Odinson, God of Thunder! Die!"

"For the glory of Asgard! Come! Valhalla is calling us!"

"You hiding rat, get out of here!"

Just these words, shouted over and over again, made people think that the eldest prince of Immortal Palace might not have a very high level of education.

The first two sentences are okay, but the main thing is that the third sentence makes the cavalry feel a bit embarrassed. After all, everyone knows that if the enemy hides and sends cannon fodder out to harass them, then naturally they will not be able to come out easily.

Isn't it shameful for someone like Thor to "make a wish" in public and repeat unrealistic requests again and again?

Rocket obviously thought so too. He stretched out a finger to signal May to wait a moment, and then took out the garbage from the bag Groot was carrying to assemble a new, bigger gun.
