Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#156 - If you can’t get it, destroy it!

After crossing the bridge, the environment within this gloomy forest began to deteriorate further.

The branches overhead were so dense that they blocked out the entire sky, allowing almost no sunlight to penetrate.

The surroundings became dim and murky, the air gradually growing thin and stifling, and a pervasive, decaying odor filled the atmosphere, which was quite unpleasant.

However, this decay wasn't the natural decomposition caused by ordinary fallen leaves; it was something abnormal!

Even the thriving mushrooms growing beside the path showed signs of rot and even liquefaction on their caps!

Clearly, this forest was sick.

In this low-oxygen environment, the air became very hot, and the oxidation process within everyone's bodies was insufficient, causing them to feel weak and lethargic.

Adding to this, there was the hallucinogenic toxin already present in the forest.

Consequently, after being led forward by Liang Yue for a while, both the dwarves and the hobbits were in a state of exhaustion and mental confusion!

The Elven Princess Arwen, however, had already left the group; clever as she was, she had climbed directly to the top of the canopy, enjoying the fresh air and cool breeze...

"Wait a moment, Liang Yue, I feel completely drained and need to rest."

Thorin was walking at the back of the group, responsible for guarding their rear, but now his face was covered in sweat, and he looked utterly exhausted.

This was the first time in many days that Liang Yue had seen such weakness in the Dwarf Prince.

As Thorin spoke, the surrounding dwarves echoed his sentiments and sat down by the roadside.

Clearly, the others were in no better shape than Thorin, and they all looked on the verge of collapse.

Liang Yue looked up and, through the tangled branches, vaguely saw Arwen sitting cross-legged.

Evidently, even walking high in the treetops, she could hear the conversations below, thanks to her innate racial advantages.

"They're oxygen-deprived and showing signs of poisoning; I need to figure something out quickly!"

Looking at the group, each with their heads drooping, struggling to breathe, Liang Yue immediately came to this conclusion.

Then, he rubbed his temples, and his whole being sank into contemplation.

For a moment, his mind raced, constantly considering various solutions, his eyes scanning every corner of the surroundings.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, the simplest and most direct idea arose in his heart, shattering the fog in his mind and opening a door for him~

"Since there's a lack of oxygen in the air, then I'll give them fresh air!"

"Since there are toxins in the air, then I'll just give them the cleanest air!"

Thinking this, Liang Yue suddenly raised his head, his eyes gleaming, and held up both his palms to the group, then said to them.

"Everyone, come over here, folks! Come to me!"

Immediately, it was as if exhaust fans had been turned on in front of him, and large amounts of white mist poured out!

These were gusts of air, carrying a sense of freshness and comfort!

As they were suddenly released from his palms, they instantly transformed into a surging cool breeze.

It rushed towards the sweat-covered faces of the dwarves and Bilbo~

"Ooh~ ~ ~ ~ ~! ! !"

In an instant, those who were bathed in this cool breeze felt as if they had drunk a glass of ice-cold soda on a sweltering day, or as if they had plunged into a hot spring on the coldest day of winter.

They unconsciously closed their eyes, deeply indulging in this mixture of oxygen, negative ions, ozone, and a whole bunch of other components...

From their mouths, they couldn't help but emit moans and groans that were enough to cause misunderstandings.

After only a few breaths, the weariness that had been lingering on everyone's faces vanished without a trace.

"What kind of magic is this, Liang Yue?"

Thorin, with a resolute expression on his face and a gleam in his eyes, looked at him and asked, with not a trace of his previous exhaustion.

"This isn't magic, Thorin. This is just a stream of pure air that I summoned from my world. Um~ it comes from above a lavender field surrounded by snow-capped mountains, possessing the effect of calming the mind."

"How about this? I'll lead the way ahead, and I'll keep summoning this air. That should help the team avoid the effects of the gloomy forest as much as possible."

"Good! Folks, time is running out, we should get going!"

Thorin turned around at this time and called out to the people behind him, receiving an enthusiastic response from his companions almost immediately.

After everyone had passed by him, the prince silently returned to the end of the line, resuming his duty of guarding the rear.

With Liang Yue's support, the group not only returned to normal, but the atmosphere within the team also began to rise.

In the high-oxygen air of the *Minecraft* world, everyone could not only easily keep up with Liang Yue, but also had the leisure to chat with him.

“Hey~ Liang Yue! Do you have a birch forest in your private world? If so, how about a bit of that place's flavor?”

“Yeah~ What, you like the air in the birch forest?”

Liang Yue's lips curved slightly upon hearing this. With just a thought, the air output source behind him, like a blower, instantly switched from the lavender fields under the snow mountain to the nearby birch forest.

In a few breaths, the group of dwarves behind him fell silent, with only deep breathing echoing in the air.

After a long while, the dwarf who had made the request spoke again.

“That's right~ This is the taste, sweet and refreshing with a hint of coolness. The familiar scent of birch wood reminds me of my hometown at the foot of Blue Mountain.

What about you, Liang Yue, do you like birch forests?”

“Of course, I often go there to pick some wood ear mushrooms, regular mushrooms, and blueberries. Occasionally, I also collect some birch sap as a drink, the taste is very good.”

After hearing the other party's words, Liang Yue answered almost without thinking.

However, Jing Xiang-sensei, Senior Sister Zi, and the others who were traveling with him were cleverly omitted by him~

“Oh~ You make me miss home even more, buddy.”

“Hehe~ How about some pure birch sap? I still have a lot on me.”

“Oh~ Praise you, knight, I miss that taste so much!”

“Here you go, it's in this wooden bucket.”

“Thank you! Give me some too!”

“I want some too, not much, just enough to fill this water skin!”

“Me too~”

“Me…”

…

Just as the people in the team finished distributing the drink that Liang Yue handed over, and were carefully savoring the taste of home in their water skins while hurrying on their way.

Suddenly, a violent shaking came from the dense branches above.

Looking up, Alwyn had already appeared there, with a few traces of solemnity on her face, and a hint of fiery heat hidden in the depths of her crystal eyes.

“I have discovered traces of the enemy, they are a group of giant spiders!”

“Prepare for battle!”

Thorin in the rear reacted the fastest at this time, and after his words fell, the people in the team also put down the water bottles in their hands and raised their weapons.

“Don't stop, we will actively meet them.”

Looking at the state of the crowd behind him, who were subconsciously about to defend back-to-back, Liang Yue waved his sleeves at this time, and two long swords had already been held in his palms, and then continued to walk forward in an orderly manner.

The people behind him were obviously stunned when they heard the words, but they did not object to this guy's proposal. Instead, a few traces of boiling before the battle appeared on their faces.

One by one, they carried their weapons and began to trot behind Liang Yue.

After conveying the enemy's situation to everyone, Alwyn quietly disappeared into the complicated branches again.

I have to say that although this elf princess obviously does not go out many times, her combat literacy is not low at all!

Not only is she skilled in archery, but also in excellent physical fitness, quick to move, and good at hiding herself. She is definitely a qualified warrior.

Soon, after turning a winding path, what appeared in front of everyone was an area that was even darker than the previous woodland.

Here, the trees are dilapidated and dry, with tangled branches, and giant spider webs are covering the gaps between the trees.

Densely packed, almost covering the entire forest~!

Seeing this, Liang Yue's eyes flickered, and then he signaled everyone to stop, and he walked forward.

He stretched out a palm and gently touched the white spider web.

“The stickiness is very high, even greater than the spider webs in the Outpost world. At the same time, this silk thread is also very tough. It should be a good material.”

After having this judgment in his mind, Liang Yue suddenly waved his sleeves, and the long sword in one hand instantly turned into a pair of scissors.

Then, he began to dance wildly at the spider web in front of him. In just less than half a second, a complete spider web burst out from the spot.

Then, with a whoosh, it turned into a stream of light and was automatically put into his storage space.

“Unfortunately, this method of collection is too slow, and I don’t have time to cut it little by little.”

Looking at the large area of ​​spider webs that almost filled his entire line of sight, Liang Yue shook his head gently.

Then, this guy moved his mind, and the scissors in his hand blurred for a while, and were instantly switched to a torch~

“Since I can’t get it, it’s better to just burn it. This way, I don’t have to worry about getting stuck~”

Thinking this way, Liang Yue then brought the burning torch closer to the spider web.

“Boom~!”

The spider web, which was already flammable, was instantly ignited by the flame, and then extended to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed.

The dense spider webs, which almost covered the entire woodland in front of them crisscrossly, had now become the best carrier of flames.

In just a few breaths, the fire had spread like lightning, quickly窜 across the front, and continued to spread rapidly to the deeper depths!

Vaguely, screams and wails were echoing in the darkness of that forest, and as time went on, the sound was getting worse and worse!
