The Extra's Survival

The beasts from all over the area started to gather in torrents coming from several directions and tried to gang up on Lucas and Charles.

Lucas and Charles, trying to escape from the hoard of beasts entered a narrow valley in front of them where it was intersected by an area of sharp boulders, the area was quite narrow allowing only one of them to pass at the same time.

The Valley was a shortcut that can save them quite time and the path of the valley was too narrow to allow the beast to pass through.

They had no choice but to cross the area from here as the other side was filled with the beast and those dark withered trees resembling a tidal wave coming for them.

The roots tugged at the side of the wall of the valley started to wriggle and extended its root towards Lucas.

Lucas sliced the roots without baiting eyes.

Swish…Swish.Swish.

Roots were sliced off as soon as they approached Lucas and fell on the ground turning into normal broken twigs.

”Thank God!! Once these things were cut off they lose their life support. ” Seeing the cutting leaves going back to normally dried twigs, Lucas took an air of relief.

While Lucas was taking care of the front, a tree was extending his withered branched like claws and grabbed onto Charles ’s legs and hauled him backwards dragging him down.

Charles was caught by surprise, seeing the branch emerging from the ground and coiling at its leg.

Lucas looked back and shouted, ”Charles be careful. ”

Lucas exclaimed in surprise seeing a thick bundle of withered branches coming towards them from behind.

Charles tried to swing his sword to slice off the rope like branches coiling around one of his legs. But his body was not balanced in the correct position to put the right amount of strength in his sword to slice it off.
