Ch. 16 Rescue in the Ruins

[Zanjitsu]

"Maaan, there must be something important in that place, if there are so many damn enemies here", he commented. Raven was having no trouble just gunning down the bees, their waves didn't end, but neither did his gunfire. Rioku and Vector handily took care of some of the queens, while Zanji cleaned up some of the ones on the flank once Raven had thinned out their numbers.

"Not to mention right out in the open... Hm?", Raven had just lowed his busters to continue onwards again, but he spotted something.

"The hell are these?", it was a strange mechanical plant. As he got closer, he was quick enough to take a step back when it suddenly shot up and tried to bite whatever it could. After a few failed snaps, it slowly lowered itself. Raven blasted it with a couple shots, but it seems it's implementation in this forest was going to be permanent unless someone could physical uproot it... He looked up ahead, and the ground was covered in leaves, everywhere. The one he spotted was at the start of this...

"Hmmm... This might be tricky...", the problem was he couldn't see all of them, and neither could his allies, unless someone could blow the leaves away.

"Hey guys, should we find another way around?", he asked. Every would turn and recognize the problem also... Some of the plant traps were only partially hidden, but that led way to likelihood of a larger number being completely hidden.
