Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Sulatan looked at strange plants and said that they were genetically modified, but I think he is talking about combining various species of plants in the original world and making them into different species of plants.

Somehow things like grapes without seeds, or grapes without seeds, were mostly of that kind, and the roses should have been crossed with various things to change the color.

Perhaps that's the level Surakutan is talking about.

“So, someone planted that weird plant here?”

In the end, Heine gave up understanding and got rid of it with a strange plant.

"There are no plants in nature, so if someone does not plant them here with their hands, they will not grow on their own."

However, this base was built after the Tempest people came here, right? ”

"I see... then, in this short time, nearly ten meters of trees have grown, right?"

Whatever you think, you're growing up at an impossible speed, right?

"Even if it was made a few days ago, it would have taken years and decades to grow to this point in a few hours if you weren't good at it." It's not a strange place to make a scene. "

“When that happens, the plants on the ground don't know what's going to happen.”

“When I get here, I think it's no surprise that the plants explode.”

What Sura-Tan is saying is not a joke. It's a serious story.

If our guess is correct, the plants in front of us are genetically modified plants. In other words, it was the first plant to become a completely different species from the original plant. I don't know what kind of traits will come out of it, but at least it would be better to be as vigilant as possible.

If it explodes, it's a problem, so let's proceed with the utmost caution.

If this is just a plant, everyone understands that it is only good to put out the fire and burn it all, but it is likely to cause some reaction to the fire. If this is a means of attacking the opponent, it is difficult to think that no measures have been taken against the fire, which is the weakness of the plant. That's why it's possible to think of anything that might explode or produce toxic fumes.

Besides, the sky was closed with a shield, making it harder to use fire magic.

Originally, in the case of a shield used in a place like the city, a hole is made somewhere, or a part where air can enter and exit the wall is set up, but from the outside, there is no such thing as a base in this kind of place.

There will be entrances and exits, and there may be air holes if you look for them, but there is no doubt that it is a structure that makes it difficult to get air in and out.

If you tried to use fire magic in such a closed space, you would suffocate. It is also possible that it is one of the measures to prevent the use of fire magic.

I have confirmed the existence of unnatural tree magic several times so far, but the root of the fact that all of them are plants has not broken down. No matter what trait it had, it was only protected in that it was a plant. If that one point is protected, fire should still be a weak point, except for plants that are particularly strong against fire. I don't think this base is being built for the sole reason of not letting the fire go, but I think it's one of the big reasons.

"Even though the slimes are thinning out some of the plants, I can't get a good view in the dense forest like this..."

"That's right..."

The number of slimes released by Slush Tong is a few. They're moving to make a path for us, but they can't just melt all the plants around us. Because it was a slime in a bottle, the tissue of the body was reduced by half, so it would be even more important.

"If there are any dangerous plants, the slimes will tell you, but don't be too overconfident, because we humans and slimes have different hurdles against danger."

"Yeah, I'll be careful."

A few minutes of walking through the woods, led by Suratan, who has the richest knowledge of plants. The situation has changed.

"... stop for a second."

Sura-tan reaches out to the side and tells us to stop our progression.

What's the matter?

"Yeah. From here on out, it doesn't look like it's this far."

Even if you can see it, you can see some kinds of dangerous plants. ”

Certainly, the types of plants that grow are different in front and in the back from the area where the slatan stops.

For once, I also activate appraisal magic, so I can confirm the plant information that is visible from where Surakutan stopped, but as Surakutan said, I can see dangerous plants. They are poisonous plants, and plants with sharp blades on the sides of their leaves.

"There's no point in taking a detour."

"Yeah. Maybe."

Is it better to melt only dangerous plants with slime and proceed?

"That's right...?!"

Zuga, zuga, zuga, zuga!

In between our stories, all of a sudden, a flying object is aiming at Slatan.

I didn't know what it was, but it was heavy and hard.

Zzzz!

Are you okay?!

Yeah!

If you call the slug that retreated to my side to avoid the flying object, he will reply immediately. There seems to be no injury.

Magic?!

I don't know!

I think the thing that flew in was like rounding a tree trunk... It's something I've never seen before, so I can't tell what it is. The size is about 50cm.

What about the enemy?!

I don't think the Slimes noticed that they were targeted from a distance!

There weren't any people around, and the slimes weren't responding. Heine and Pirte also had an unexpected expression on their faces.

The area is dense with plants, and even though it's harder to spot them than usual, they've been attacking from a considerable distance.

"But... how did you attack me inside...?"

Due to the dense concentration of plants and trees, our gaze does not pass, nor does it pass from the other side. In other words, it didn't pass any magic attacks. And yet, the flying object actually flew towards Surakutan's location.

"... I don't know."

The attack was so sudden that I didn't even know where it was coming from.

"Anyway, be careful." Don't defend yourself. First, we'll focus on evasion. "

Yes.

This is entirely their territory. I don't know what attacks are coming, and it's not a good idea to defend against them. Because even the worst kind of plants grow here when they're touched.

"......?!"

Zuga, zuga, zuga, zuga!

This time, Heine avoids the clumps of trees flying from behind.

"Behind you?!"

They're still coming!

Zuga, zuga, zuga, zuga!

”Ngh!!”

Now turn to the right side.

Me and Nil will dodge. I can't see well, but I feel something moving around. People… I don't think so.

There's something there!

And it's more than one!

When Heine and Pilate find out that they exist, they share information with us.

"I'll move the slimes!" Your legs are slow, so be careful! "

I don't know what's going on, but I know there's something trying to kill us.

Zuga, zuga, zuga, zuga!

Zuga, zuga, zuga, zuga!

I avoid the clumps of trees flying in one direction after another, but shooting from multiple directions is very difficult to avoid. However, since the speed of the flying object is not so fast, there is nothing inevitable, and it can be avoided somehow.

"That's... everyone! Cut the bamboo around you!"

Slatan's voice echoed, and we immediately moved as we were told.

Suratan is talking about a tree that is about the size of a person's arm that hangs or wraps around a tree.

Hah!

Shh, shh!

"Noooo!"

Shh, shh!

Each of them slashed the nearest hammer with a blade and returned to its original position, taking care not to touch the other plants as much as possible.

"I-It's okay...?"

As Surakutan told me, when I cut the hammer, the attack stops.

"It looks like it's okay..."

As soon as I hung up, the silence returned, and it felt like a lie that I was being attacked.

"I did what I was told, but what was it?"

"That's a tree hug."

Tree hug? That tree hug?

I don't know which tree hug it is, so I'll use my appraisal magic to find out what I cut off.

[Tree hug... A parasitic pine-shaped plant that sticks to a tree and lives by eating the trunk of the tree. It is a common plant and is not aggressive or dangerous.]

It's like a plant that's not aggressive or dangerous...?

"Maybe what you're looking into right now is an ordinary tree hug." Check it out. ”

Saying that, I checked the wreckage of the hammer that Sura Tan showed me...

[Tree hug (altered)... plants with altered tree hugs. Although it is originally a plant that is not aggressive or dangerous, it has been modified to spit out the trunk of the tree that has been taken in by alteration to something that moves.]

I'll read out the results of the evaluation.

It's like an automatic interception system... and it's been modified...

You're trying to kill us with plants, aren't you?

"You don't think you can handle us here, and if you're lucky, I think you're thinking... maybe."

"Finally, the plants around you are getting scared."

"I want to cut it down with magic all at once... but I don't know what would happen if I did that... ahh!" I'm frustrated! "

Unusual for Heine, he exploded his emotions and lightly kicked a part of the chopped up hammer.

I'm usually the type of woman who doesn't do that, but I think she's pretty tired. We've had quite a few battles so far. And after the battle, there was a battle. I couldn't help but get upset.

That's something I can tell everyone, not just Heine. It's good because I'm careful now, but I'm close to the limit of the boulder. My fatigue is not relieved from my body and my wounds are all over. It became sticky due to blood loss, and I took healing pills when I lost my magic power, and repeatedly took healing pills when I lost my magic power.

In such a state, we can expect to face a troublesome opponent again. I know how Heine feels, and I feel like kicking some ass too. At first glance, it also serves as a command tower for this party, so I am careful not to spread irritation to everyone by doing such a thing, but it is a sign that it has become difficult mentally. Let's get this over with and get some sleep.

I know how you feel, but calm down, okay?

"Yeah... yeah. I'm sorry. I'm a little confused."

Heine seems to be calmly answering, but the frustration shouldn't go away so easily, and she wants to skewer the person who is creating this situation, even if it feels like it, right away. But no matter how tired you are, don't be impatient.

"The plants themselves can be melted with my slime, but if there is an attack like the one just now, the slimes can't do anything, so we have to avoid it ourselves."

It doesn't matter what happens when the Slimes expand their range of sightings... right?

"That's right... I didn't notice the attack just now, probably because the opponent is a plant, and even if the slimes spread, they probably won't change." Moreover, if you attack a moving object, the slimes will also be targeted, and if you expand the range without darkness, the slimes may be senselessly killed. "

The tree hug that attacked me this time wasn't a plant-type monster. The slimes probably didn't notice because they were simply plants that reacted to moving objects. Due to the gap between humans and slimes, it seemed that the enemy could not be covered by the slimes alone when it came to plant opponents.

"Is it best to keep going like this... Heine, Pilté." Keep in mind that the plants are attacking us. I can count on both of them. ”

"Yeah. Okay."

"Leave it to me."

To be honest, an attack of the magnitude of the altered tree hug is not an attack that nervous. However, it is not strange that there is another plant with altered tree hug-like abilities, or that the plant is poisonous.

The only way to find Slime's enemies that don't get caught is with Heine and Pilté's five senses. At the time of the tree hug, I didn't expect the tree clumps to fly, so I turned to the back hand, but if I knew that there was a possibility of attack by plants, I would not delay unless it was something unexpected.

If you're holding on to this kind of defense, would it be okay to think that there are people with the information?

"If all of the area surrounded by this cylindrical wall is the field to lure us in and take us down, we will definitely come here to take us down."

"I'm sure we can't leave it to plants to prepare so carefully, and if you're thinking of not letting us do what we like anymore, then I don't think it would be strange to have a total battle."

"In other words, for the bandits, this is the last place to step."

"That's right... okay!" Let's get this over with! "

If, as Suraitan put it, it can be done quickly, it's easy to talk about, but... it's subtle if it's going to work. However, I am very grateful for the positive outlook. While everyone is starting to get frustrated with fatigue, Surakutan is just lightly uttering words as usual, which makes them feel a little better.

From there, we headed straight into the woods for a few more minutes towards the center.

Along the way, I was attacked by tree hugs and other potentially dangerous plants, but thanks to Heine and Pilte, I managed to reach the center point without any injuries.

Sinya-san.

Yeah.

Reaching near the center point, the forest that was so gloomy was strangely interrupted, creating a circular space.

And there are dozens of people in the middle of it.

"No matter what you think, you're the enemy...?"

"I guess so...."

Everyone in sight is fully armed, and everything they are equipped with seems to be of good quality. And all of them were ready for the battle. They know we're getting close.

One of them. A person wearing a white fabric and a coat with green embroidery points their index finger at us. Then the others around us all lay down their weapons for us.

Apparently, they know where we are.

It seems impossible to ambush them.

Even though I was found out, I couldn't help but hide. I step into a circular space.

Twenty enemies in all... no, maybe not that much, but fifteen.

And they're all pretty well-equipped.

I can't believe... we're all players, right?

When I heard Suraitan's words, I earnestly hoped that it would not happen.

But the reality was ruthless.

"I didn't expect to PK since I came here."

"I couldn't do that over there."

Player Kill is the abbreviation of PK, which is spoken by Snickers and Laughing Folks. A term used in the game world to kill a player, as the name suggests. In other words, first of all, there's no doubt that the people here are players.

There were a number of players who could be said to be overpowered.

If you think about it carefully, you will understand.

Until now, players have been placed in various places that can be said to be important. And more than one person.

I have no idea how many players have been sent into our universe, but if we have enough of them to send to the key locations, that would be quite enough.

If that number of players were present, the number of people who could operate as bandits would be sufficient. And if the player becomes the top bandit, it becomes a strong bandit that doesn't attract other bandits. For example… like a tempest.

"The bandits of the expatriates..."

”You're kidding... these numbers are so tight on the boulders...”

This number is five. Even though one player is tough against another, the number of opponents is more than three times. In other words, one person has to deal with three people. To the boulders... this is tough.

"Was it Shinya, the solo player?" I didn't know how stupid it was to play Van der Joe solo, but I didn't think it was stupid enough for five people to come to a place like this. "

A man with a straight sword pointed at me.

Even if I fight with all my might, there's only two of us that can fight. Even if you win in the technical and spiritual part, it is a useful story when the overall difference in strength is reversed, and it is not okay to be surrounded by players in this way.

"... hi. Is there somebody in the woods?"

"I'm sorry... I don't know. I think there's a smelly plant growing nearby. My nose hasn't been good for a while now...

"No... that's all I need to know."

On the premise that you are aware of this matter, being prepared so that your nose is not favourable means that you are preparing it by crushing Heine and Pilate's nose.

The five senses were sharp, and it was noticed that they were using the five senses to find enemies, or as a simple hindrance to their ability to find enemies... The black dog was involved, and probably the former.

When that happens, the only reason I dare to crush my nose is because someone is hiding and I can't sense it.
