Chapter 420 Escape in the Gray Fog
[Occupied Area - Changsheng Island, East Coast of the Island]

In the sinkhole where sparks still lingered, a charred vine was shattered by a foot, and black charcoal dust mixed with grayish-white sand fell softly from the sole of the person's shoe.

Then, the camera in the anime series pulled up from the sole of the shoe.

Before long, attention was focused on the exquisite face of the Tendou, which resembled a theatrical version of the artwork.

He stood expressionless in front of the spot where the Rose Gentleman Wilfer had disappeared, his deep blue eyes filled with profound contemplation.

During this process, the white rose petals that Rose Gentleman Wilfer turned into when he disappeared eventually drifted slowly in front of the Heavenly Dao, as if hinting at the old gentleman's 'dignified exit'.

But both Tiandao and the dimensional viewers on Station 13 understand that Wilford is definitely not dead.

Because of both the special rules of the Island of Immortality and Wilfer's own star source characteristics, this guy is destined to be the most difficult to kill among all star envoys, with his survival ability at its peak.

Despite Wilford posing no real threat to the Heavenly Dao from beginning to end,

But Heaven knows very well that this is because Wilford has no intention of killing.

Secondly, he himself was already tired of his current life.

Therefore, although he appears to be following the will of the ancient gods, he still has a certain degree of autonomy in how he carries it out.

This guy is the number one traitor on Changsheng Island.

However, we are only in the early stages of the Long Life Island storyline, and even Wilford, a veteran of Long Life Island, is not absolutely certain about many things.

Therefore, even if he had some ideas in his mind about 'cooperating' with the Heavenly Dao.

However, he was still unwilling to place a bet until he was certain that Heaven possessed such power.

After all, he got ripped off the last time he placed a bet.

And the ones who were tricked were none other than Doctor Drowgon and Grand Master Ennett.

[Occupied Area - Changsheng Island, South Coast of the Island]

"Roar!"

A deep, terrifying roar echoed across the silent island from the southern coast.

Before long, a 'monster' emerged from the shadows of the island's jungle.

Half of its head was a rotting human face, and its eyes were cloudy and whitish.

The other half was entwined by dark red vines into a bud shape, with half a human tooth embedded in the gaps between the petals.

Besides, this guy's body is also quite physically uncomfortable.

Its robust body, about two meters long, was covered with a thick layer of vine armor. The vine armor was covered with inch-long spikes, and dried rags hung from the tips of the spikes.

But more striking than any of these features is the monster's enormous right arm, which is almost as tall as it is.

To the astonishment of the dimensional audience, the monster raised its right arm high and then slammed it down heavily on Chen Kong, who was fleeing in front of it.

boom!
At the critical moment, Chen Kong suddenly rolled to the side, and the monster's fist grazed his back and slammed into the beach with a 'boom', kicking up a cloud of sand.

Although he managed to dodge the punch, he could clearly feel the burning pain in his back.

His back was probably scratched by the sharp thorns on the monster's arm.
Before Chen Kong could even stand up, more than a dozen twisted figures emerged from the gray fog in the distance.

Some of these monsters have their spines bent like bows by vines, and their joints make a strange creaking sound when they move.

Some crawled along, dragging their broken leg bones, with vines oozing green sap from the broken ends, leaving winding tracks on the sand. Regardless of their size or appearance, they all shared a common feature: a fist-sized, core-like 'protrusion' on their chest.

Looking at these incredibly strong, thick-skinned humanoid monsters, my heart sank.

Damn it, this is troublesome.

【Name: Rotting Vine Corpse】

【Level: Level 2】

【Characteristics: Robust build, immense strength, its entire body is covered in thick vine armor, which is covered in sharp spikes. The main vine on its chest is protected by the armor, and the core can only be attacked by destroying the armor first】

[Description: 'Death can also be the beginning of new life.' — Rose Gentleman Wilfred]

Faced with these dozen or so rotting vine corpses, Chen Kong made a decision almost instantly.

Run, run without hesitation!

He could manage to fight off a single level-two rotten vine corpse, but when more than ten surrounded him, coupled with the damned toxin in his body, he had no choice but to run.

Thinking of this, Chen Kong subconsciously looked at his right arm.

A thorn about half a finger's length was sticking out of his forearm.

The thorny vine glowed with a pale green light, and the troublesome toxins seeped into his blood vessels little by little along the veins of the thorny tail, bringing him a constant stream of trouble.

This was left behind by him after he was unfortunately attacked by the vines of the Rose Gentleman Wilford on the East Coast beach.

At the time, he was only focused on covering his teammates' retreat and didn't notice the small, toothpick-like thing at all.

It wasn't until he suddenly felt numbness in his arm while on the run that Chen Kong realized the existence of this thing, but by then it was too late, because Wilford's rose toxin had already spread completely in his body and its effects were beginning to show.

He had tried to force the poison out using 'Star Energy' or 'Void Pattern', but the Rose Poison seemed to have a life of its own, drilling deep into the muscles as soon as it encountered Star Energy.

As for the Void Pattern, although it had eliminated the star energy toxin contained in the vine thorns, it had no way to deal with the other part, the pure physical rose toxin.

He had considered pulling out the thorn, but it seemed as if it had been specially designed to hook onto his tendons.

Chen Kong felt a sharp pain and his vision went black as soon as he exerted even a little force.

Not to mention that he never had the chance to remove the poisonous thorn along the way.

[Real world, 13 stations, bullet comment section]

'The protagonist in "Prisoner's Lair" is truly pitiful; he's getting beaten up every time the camera pans around.'

'Strange, didn't Heavenly Dao say everyone should leave together? Why is only Prisoner here? When I watched the login point storyline, Prisoner didn't escape on his own.'

"Something must have gone wrong. Look at the wounds on Lao Kong's body, and those monsters behind him; it's obvious something happened during their escape."

The barrage of comments was still scrolling wildly, and in the video, Chen Kong had been forced to the edge of the reef by the Corpse of Rotten Vine.

He leaned against the cold rocks, panting. The dizziness from the toxins grew stronger, and the shadowy figures of the decaying vines before him began to overlap.

Taking advantage of this brief break, he decisively took out his communicator and asked the administrator on the other end of the communicator the question that had been accumulating in his mind for a long time.

"Damn it! What's going on with this landing point? Why did we run into a Cataclysmic monster right away?"

"besides."
