Chapter 1260 - Prisoner Secured

All the time Jonah had been subduing Scarface, the rest of his team had been busy taking out the other men around.

McKenzie was clearly at a disadvantage, getting stabbed over 3 times in different positions, while his opponent hadn\'t even received any fatal injuries.

And at that time, he felt like he was too close to death.

So he thought of pulling out his weapon and taking the shot.

But he knew better than to rely on guns heavily.

Thus, he decided to wait things out for a bit and try a little harder before stopping.

And soon enough, something fell upon his sight that gave him a brilliant idea.

Then, with a clear plan formed, he secretly led his opponent where he wanted them to go by acting desperate.

And it played out just as he planned.

1, 2, 3... Checkmate!

The opponent didn\'t know how it happened, but soon enough, he was carried and restrained by several bluish vines that seemed to lock him in place, restricting his actions.

That is, the harder one struggled, the tighter the vines would while onto them.

And again, the vines had a remarkable effect on any who sniffed it.

There was a reason it was nicknamed the Sleeper.

Once one was in its warm embrace, it was inevitable to take in the air around the plant, which was typically akin to a high sleeping substance.

They found that the substance was somewhat liquidy and slippery.

And after being embraced by this thing, it could cause a person to sleep for 30 minutes at most if it was a teenage plant. The adult plants could make one sleep for 1 and a half-hour instead.

Luckily, another thing about the plant was that it needed time to recharge and release its sleepy substance.

For teenage plants, it needed just an hour to recharge... and for adults, it required 2 hours to replenish itself before putting its next victims to sleep.

This was good because after those trapped would wake up 30 minutes later, they would have time to flee before being put to sleep yet again.

But one shouldn\'t think that fleeing the abt would be easy.

Yes! The moment they wake up, they will see that the vines aren\'t even holding them anymore. But any sudden movements will make the vines firmly grip them yet again, trapping them for the next sleep cycle.

So if one wasn\'t careful, they might end up sleeping in the plant\'s embrace for months without food or water.

And this will inevitably lead to their deaths.

That\'s why in many regions around the world that housed these plants, one would be able to see skeletal corpses and bones of animals and humans around the plants.

This type of death was truly a gruesome one to behind.

Of course, these plants only did this as a defence mechanism for those who liked cutting or destroying them.

How many times have people plucked flowers from the ground, how many times have people trampled on uses or other foliages?

How many times have people cut lines to use as ropes?

Hey! Plant lives matter too, alright?

These plants, as well as many other plants in this world, had their defence mechanisms in place for such actions.

Typically, Blue, red, purple and yellow vines are the most violent vines of all, with some stinging their victims like scorpions in the desert.

So many humans and animals had realized that only green and silver vines were safe to stay around. Of course, silver vines were incredibly medicinal and very scarce too.

That said, even though those outside might not fully understand how to free themselves from these vines, the Baymardians had realized that the only thing that frightened these vines was Fire.

And that\'s why they moved with lighters even when training here.

Fore will make the vines open up and even push their victim away in horror.

So, as a rule of thumb, one had to constantly move with a lighter.

And one had to hold it smartly because after getting pinned, if they couldn\'t even light up the fire, then what\'s the use of it all?

.

Like so, McKenzie had sent a fired kick towards his opponent, knowing fully well that the giy would dodge it.

And wouldn\'t you know it, the guy jumped back, directly falling into a very close range to the vines.

Woop! Woop!

The vine first grabbed his legs in fear before stretching the rest of their vine tentacles to grab his hands, neck, stock and so on.

And just like a snack, they kept moving and curling around even after grabbing him hard.

Of course, the opponent was alarmed for only a brief moment, as he genuinely didn\'t see the vine behind him.

No! It could be said that he hadn\'t placed attacks from mother nature in his mind.

That is, within this thick foggy blanket, he primarily focused on listening to the sounds all around in hopes of defending himself if someone or some creature wanted to ambush him.

But McKenzie, who knew Bushy valley like the back of his hand, had long known that the vines should be somewhere here.

So after spotting a very faint image, he immediately came up with the perfect plan.

And just like that, the intruder got trapped.

Of course, he, being an assassin, knew about vines such as these.

But without any source of fire, how could he free himself from these things?

....

Like so, Mckenzie had managed to deal with his opponent thanks to mother nature.

But he wasn\'t the only one using this approach.

Others led their targets to fall into pits, muddy quicksand, and so on.

There was a reason why Bushy Valley was famous and well used for training.

Heh. It was because of all it offered.

And in this way, they had managed to subdue the many SS-class opponents.

Because with the injuries some of them had, heaven knows that without their knowledge of Bushy valley, they wouldn\'t have won their opponents this easily.

But now, it was time to close the curtains and take the prisoners away!
