You'll become a god, you'll create Earth ONLINE

Xia Youwei was on the fourth-floor balcony, where her view was much wider than theirs.

Although she couldn't see the specific situation in the bushes, she could see that a cloud of yellowish-green mist suddenly rose about ten meters in front of Su Hao and the others.

That wasn't a flying insect at all, but a large cloud of dust floating in mid-air!

Su Hao's expression changed drastically upon hearing the voice message.

Cover your mouth and nose! Back off!

He grabbed his collar and covered his nose and mouth tightly.

But it was too late.

In the sweltering, windless grass, the yellowish-green dust spread incredibly quickly. Almost the instant Su Hao gave the order, the dust had already reached them.

Because he was holding up his shield, the fat man was a beat slower in his reaction and accidentally inhaled a small amount.

"Achoo!"

The fat man sneezed loudly, and then froze on the spot.

His eyes began to lose focus, and the expression on his face became very strange, sometimes grinning foolishly, sometimes terrified.

"Hehehe... roasted pig's trotters... such big roasted pig's trotters..."

The fat man threw down the iron gate he was holding, and surprisingly, he spread his arms and lunged at a mutated shrub covered in sharp thorns.

"Fatty, are you crazy?!"

Zhao Lei reacted quickly, grabbing the fat man by the back of his collar and pulling him back.

[System Warning: Your teammate Wang Qiang has inhaled 'hallucinogenic pollen' and is in a 'hallucinatory' state for 30 seconds.]

"It's poisonous pollen! Hold your breath!"

Su Hao felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the system notification.

This kind of unreasonable area-of-effect (AOE) control skill is simply a killer for newbies.

Just one breath and you'll instantly become an idiot, at the mercy of the surrounding plants.

Just as they were covering their mouths and noses, struggling to breathe, trying to leave the dusty area.

The surrounding bushes stirred up trouble again.

This time, it wasn't just a dozen or so vines.

With a loud "rustling" sound, dozens of thicker, darker green vines sprouted from the grass all around.

Like sharks that have smelled blood, they launch a full-scale attack the moment their prey is under the influence of pollen.

"Oh no, I'm doomed."

Chen Fei held his breath, his face turning red, and looked at the vines surging in from all directions, a hint of despair flashing in his eyes.

The fat man was still grinning foolishly, waving his arms and legs as if trying to grab the "roasted pig's trotter" in the air.

Zhao Lei was so busy holding down the fat man that he couldn't free up any hands.

Even if Su Hao had three heads and six arms, he couldn't possibly block so many vine attacks at the same time with just one axe.

Worse still, if they continue to hold their breath, they will faint from lack of oxygen without the vines' help.

"Let's give it our all!"

Su Hao gritted his teeth, preparing to force himself to breathe. Even if he was hallucinating, he would at least have some vines to hold him back.

In this critical, almost certain-death situation...

Lin Chacha, who had been hiding in the middle of the group and protected as if she were invisible, suddenly let out a scream of extreme terror.

"Aaaaaah! A bug! A bug has crawled onto my leg! Help, brother!"

The scream was completely natural, stemming from a female college student's instinctive fear of an unknown insect.

The voice was extremely sharp and high-pitched.

That unique, penetrating sound, amplified by extreme terror, transformed into a high-frequency wave with an extremely eerie frequency.

"Buzz—"

The sound echoed through the sweltering grass.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The mutated vines that were baring their fangs and claws and had already pounced on Su Hao and his group, reaching within half a meter of them, were gone.

The instant I heard that scream.

As if struck by some invisible electric shock, they all jerked violently in mid-air!

It wasn't just shivering.

Their originally aggressive posture instantly crumbled, and they quickly retreated as if electrocuted. Some of the vines even intertwined with each other and formed a knot during their retreat.

It felt as if the plants were... disgusted by the sound? Or perhaps, this frequency of sound just happened to suppress their sonic perception system?

The surrounding attacks crumbled in an instant.

Even the drifting hallucinogenic pollen seemed to be dispersed quite a bit by the high-frequency sound.

Su Hao stood frozen in place, axe in hand.

Chen Fei opened his mouth wide, forgetting even to hold his breath.

Zhao Lei, who was holding the fat man down tightly, also looked stunned.

What's going on?

Is this some kind of hidden sonic weapon?!

"Waaaah... Take it away, please take it away..."

Lin Chacha had her eyes closed and was completely unaware of what was happening around her.

She was frantically swinging her right leg, and on her white calf sock lay a green, mutated caterpillar the size of a thumb.

Chen Fei's eye twitched slightly. He walked over and gently flicked the caterpillar away with the back of his dagger.

"The bugs are gone. Open your eyes and look."

Chen Fei's voice sounded somewhat ethereal.

Lin Chacha then cautiously opened her eyes.

She discovered that the terrifying vines around her had all retreated two meters away, and were trembling, not daring to approach.

"What... what's going on?"

Lin Chacha herself was also stunned.

Su Hao reacted the fastest, as he keenly spotted a loophole in the game mechanics.

Nothing in this world happens without a reason.

"Third brother, take two steps back. Eldest brother, let go of Fatty."

Su Hao gave the order in a deep voice.

Zhao Lei was taken aback and released his grip.

The fat man's hallucination hadn't ended yet; he was still immersed in his own world, walking forward with a silly grin.

"Grilled skewers...lots of big kidneys..."

The fat man staggered toward a retreating vine.

The vine seemed to sense someone approaching and instinctively tried to retaliate, its tip slightly raised and barbs spread out.

"Lin Chacha".

Su Hao suddenly turned his head and stared intently at her.

"Call!"

"what?"

Lin Chacha looked bewildered.

"What's your name?"

"Speak however you want! Just like you did before, use your highest, thinnest voice! And preferably with some emotion!"

Su Hao's tone left no room for argument.

"I...I can't call out, and there are no bugs around."

Lin Chacha pouted, looking aggrieved.

"If you don't yell, this fat guy will be skewered like a candied hawthorn, and I'll leave you here in the bushes tonight." Su Hao sneered, immediately switching into intimidation mode.

Upon hearing that he would have to spend the night alone in the bushes...

Lin Chacha was so frightened that her face turned pale. Without thinking, she screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Brother! Help, brother! There's a rat! A big black rat! Aaaaaah!"

The voice was convoluted and sweet, yet also shrill and piercing.

"Buzz—"

really!

The moment Lin Chacha spoke.

The vine that was originally intended to attack the fat man suddenly shuddered as if it had been electrocuted.

The barbs that were originally open instantly retracted, and like a frightened dog, it scurried back into the depths of the grass with a "whoosh".

Not only it, but all the mutated plants within a two-meter radius around it withered down, their leaves drooping, and they fell into a state similar to "rigidity".

"Holy crap..."

Zhao Lei was stunned and couldn't help but swear.

"What the hell is this? A magical attack? A sonic mosquito repellent?"
