This time, the rift was particularly large, measuring over ten meters long and nearly a meter wide.
Emerging from the rift was a vine, though its diameter was several dozen centimeters, and its length reached several dozen meters. Its entire body was a dark purple-black, with many root-like structures on its surface. The densest areas of these "roots" had pitch-black, wart-like protrusions resembling eyes.
The vine looked very much like the tentacles of a terrifying ancient god from the world of Cthulhu.
The vine swung violently, forcibly pulling Richard and the other two into its attack range. An invisible force field was released, causing Richard and the others to be uncontrollably drawn in, requiring immense power to resist.
Clearly, unless the three could deal with this vine, it would be difficult to break free and pursue the escaping informant as they had before.
They exchanged glances, understanding this fact, and quickly reached a consensus.
