Chapter 171: A Guide to Flower Growing in the End Times (41)
The vines' attack was more violent than any previous time. They seemed to have life, sweeping towards the people in the front with violent power and speed.
"Be careful!" They were worthy of being the most elite team in the Blade Base. They responded quickly and dispersed in all directions.
"Snapped--"
The vines whistled through the air with a sharp sound and whipped over. Several people quickly dodged and the ground and the surrounding objects that were caught in it turned into pieces in an instant.
The ground was torn apart and the rocks were shattered.
When they saw this, they were all frightened. If this vine hit them, even a level 2 psychic would lose half his life.
"Hit its vine roots!" Jiang Lu, the leader, had a serious expression on his face, staring at the towering tree in front of him.
The team members activated their special powers, began concentrating their firepower, and launched a fierce attack on the roots of the vines.
"it works!"
The vine was hit at the root, and the thinner part had fallen off, as if it felt threatened by a group of people who looked like small ants in its eyes. There were more and more vines around it, and there was a vague tendency for them to be surrounded.
"Miss Shao, haven't you found it yet?"
Shao Lianqing stood at the edge. When she heard Jiang Lu calling her name, cold sweat slid down her forehead and soaked her clothes.
She knew that she had to take action.
Her eyes were fixed on the wriggling vines, their shadows swaying in the firelight, like tentacles from hell, ready to drag her into the endless abyss at any time.
"Ms. Shao, please tell us where the weakness of the mutant plants is!" Jiang Lu's voice sounded again, with a hint of urgency in his voice.
She knew she had to do something, but her body was shaking uncontrollably and she couldn't concentrate.
The vines easily penetrated the defenses of the people in front, knocking them away one by one, and blood and screams filled the air.
Jiang Lu dodged a few times, using his wind-based abilities to catch several people steadily.
Shao Lianqing took action at this time, and her supernatural power condensed into a water blade and flew towards the thickest vine!
That water blade looks stronger than the abilities of Jiang Lu and the others!
Several people watched expectantly as it flew out, and finally landed on the largest vine, leaving only a small mark.
"Miss Shao, attack the thinnest vine!"
Shao Lianqing sent out several more supernatural powers. This time, the slender vines were shattered as soon as they touched Shao Lianqing's water blades. The few of them became more and more confident.
But the vines of the mutant plant seem endless, and more vines appear after each attack.
"Get out of the way!" Jiang Lu's roar rang in her ears. Shao Lianqing was stunned, as if she was not sure if he was calling her.
At this moment, a particularly thick vine suddenly emerged from the ground. It was so fast that it arrived in front of Shao Lianqing almost instantly.
Her pupils suddenly shrank, her mind went blank, and her body was stiff and unable to move.
The vines whipped towards her fiercely with a sound of breaking through the air, and Shao Lianqing felt a cool breeze all around her.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly rushed over and pushed Shao Lianqing away.
It was Jiang Lu! He used his body to block the vines' attack, making a dull thumping sound.
Shao Lianqing was pushed to the ground. She watched Jiang Lu being hit by vines and blood splattered all over her face.
"Ah--" Shao Lianqing screamed, her heart was filled with fear and panic, and she could no longer remain calm.
Jiang Lu's body was thrown away like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily on the ground not far away, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Shao Lianqing's scream stopped abruptly, and her eyes were filled with horror and disbelief.
"Jiang Lu!" Her voice trembled, but was immediately drowned out by the sound of more vine attacks.
"Boss!"
The mutated plant seemed to be enraged; its vines lashed and waved more wildly, and the surroundings became chaotic.
After Shao Lianqing was pushed away by Jiang Lu, she fell to the ground with her hands trembling.
It seemed that the scream just now made the vines even more excited. Shao Lianqing sat on the ground and clearly saw that the road they came from was covered by vines, leaving only a small hole.
The hole was not big enough for her to get out.
A strong urge surged in her heart - she had to escape.
The people in front had no time to care about Shao Lianqing. The vines of the mutant plants became more violent. They could only fight hard, but their abilities seemed so insignificant in front of this violent force.
However, fear overcame reason.
Shao Lianqing's body began to move slowly towards the small hole. She had only one thought in her mind - to escape from this hellish place.
As long as she escaped, the others would definitely have no chance of survival. Then she could just find an excuse and explain to Fan Guanghui.
Shao Lianqing's heart was beating violently in her chest and her eyes were fixed on the small hole.
The screams of people around her rang in her ears, beating on her nerves again and again. The desire to survive drove her to crawl towards the small hole.
"Miss Shao, don't go..." A faint call stopped her.
Shao Lianqing's movements paused. She turned around and saw Jiang Lu struggling to get up from the ground. His body was covered with scars and he was looking at her with a weak breath.
"Jiang Lu..." There was a hint of trembling in Shao Lianqing's voice.
The other team members also noticed her movements at this time, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
"Miss Shao, where are you going?" There was a hint of trembling in his voice. Obviously, he did not expect that at such a critical moment, Shao Lianqing would choose to escape.
Is this the incoming leader of their base?
He suddenly thought of the rumors in the base a few days ago. He originally thought they were malicious slander, but now it seems to be just facts!
Shao Lianqing gritted her teeth and turned her head away without answering, forcing herself not to look at Jiang Lu. Just as Shao Lianqing was about to crawl out of the small hole, a vine broke out of the ground and whipped her back.
This time no one helped her block it, and the vine hit Shao Lianqing's back, causing blood to flow.
“Ah——” Shao Lianqing screamed.
But it was not without benefits. The whip directly pulled her out of the giant cocoon woven by the fourth-level mutant plants.
She endured the severe pain and climbed up, running faster and faster, until she could no longer hear the sound of the vines attacking and the screams of her teammates, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want to die. She still had too many things to do. She was about to become the second-in-command of the base, and she had not yet reached the same height as in her previous life.
