Qiao Xingyang looked at the knife tip pointing at him, and anger surged within him.

But before he could react, the last person suddenly grabbed his own neck and yelled.

"Ah! Get away!"

Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an's attention was also drawn to it.

Jiang Nian'an shone her flashlight on the man and was surprised to find that the man had a wisteria vine wrapped around his neck.

When Qiao Xingyang saw the wisteria chasing after him, he couldn't care less about settling scores with Jiang Nian'an and quickly shrank back into the cave entrance.

He kept muttering, "Shen Nanxing, we've grown up together since we were little, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"

The other four people also looked as if they had seen a ghost, their faces changed drastically, and they all retreated and moved away.

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Shen Nanxing frowned, took half a step forward, bringing Jiang Nian'an into his protective range, and then looked up at Zi Teng.

There was only one main vine, a bit longer than Little Silver's, but it didn't look particularly special.

But there must be something special about it that could scare Qiao Xingyang like this.

Just as the wisteria was trying to get rid of the person it was entangled with, it suddenly sensed a scent that it found very comfortable.

The very tip of the vine, resembling a snake's head, slowly rose and moved, finally 'looking' at Jiang Nian'an.

'brush'

With a mighty leap, the wisteria vine flew straight toward Jiang Nian'an.

The comforting aura emanated from this person.

It likes her!

A cold glint flashed in Shen Nanxing's eyes as he waved his hand, unleashing a bolt of lightning.

I thought the wisteria would be charred like other mutated plants, but to my surprise, it was completely unaffected and passed straight through the lightning.

Jiang Nian'an gave a soft snort and lashed out with a vine whip.

With a snap, the wisteria was pulled away and slammed heavily against the stone wall beside it.

Jiang Nian'an then lashed out with her whip again, but Zi Teng quickly dodged, darting into the ground and disappearing from sight.

"Why..."

Qiao Xingyang stood up, pointing to the spot where the wisteria had disappeared, incredulous, "It...it just ran away like that?"

He also has wood-type ability users under his command.

He also used a vine whip to lash the wisteria, more than once, but all the vine whips formed from wood-type supernatural abilities were entangled by the wisteria and absorbed as nutrients.

In the end, even the wood-type mutant was drained of its life force by the wisteria vine.

After the wood-type ability user in their team was drained, Zi Teng then targeted the other ability users in their team.

Fire and blade, ice spikes and water strikes...

They tried everything, but not only did they fail to eliminate the wisteria, they also lost four more people.

The wisteria has grown from ten centimeters to more than a meter long.

But now, even with the same vine whip attack, why are the outcomes so different?

They were chased by the wisteria like stray dogs, fleeing in a panic.

The culprit was beaten so badly by the girl in front of him that he fled like a stray dog.

"Cough cough."

Qiao Xingyang cleared his throat, his face covered in mottled ash, and walked confidently to a position two meters away from Jiang Nian'an.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take two more steps forward, but the lightning in Shen Nanxing's hand was a silent warning to him.

He slightly raised his chin and glanced down, "You're the bodyguard Shen Nanxing hired, right?"

Jiang Nian'an: ? ? ?

She looked at Shen Nanxing, her eyes asking him if he had something wrong with his brain.

Shen Nanxing nodded.

Not only is he mentally ill, but his eyesight is also poor.

He slightly lifted his eyelids, and his obvious disdain fell upon Qiao Xingyang.

Was his positioning not obvious enough, or was his movement not fast enough...?

Between him and An'an, who is the bodyguard? Ha, don't you even know yourself? →_→ Stupid person.

"I'll pay you double what he spent on supplies to hire you!"

Qiao Xingyang ignored Shen Nanxing's gaze, made a two-pointer at Jiang Nian'an, and looked quite smug.

He brought enough supplies from the capital city before leaving after the apocalypse began.

Shen Nanxing came from the flower market, so he probably didn't have much with him.

Qiao Xingyang secretly peeked into the cave again.

By the light of the emergency lights, he saw two single sofas inside the cave.

A large travel bag was placed on one of the sofas.

Pshaw, it's just a travel bag, how much can it hold?

He brought two spatial storage ability users with him, and a full 10 square meters of supplies.

He wanted to see what Shen Nanxing had to offer in comparison!

Qiao Xingyang waved to his subordinates who were using spatial storage and took out a small half-slice of watermelon.

"Haven't had watermelon in a long time, have you?"

"If you switch jobs and work for me, this watermelon is yours."

Shen Nanxing's travel bag couldn't hold a watermelon.

Hmph, finally, for once, he managed to outmaneuver Nanxing.

Overwhelmed with pleasure, Qiao Xingyang threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha!"

"I'll fucking make you laugh!!"

Shen Nanxing punched him in the face.

"ah!"

Qiao Xingyang was caught off guard and was punched. He cried out in pain and fell backward.

Shen Nanxing strode forward, grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him back.

"Shen Nanxing, how dare you hit me! I'm your future sister-in-law—"

'Bang'

Qiao Xingyang was speaking when Shen Nanxing delivered another heavy punch to his face, knocking him to the ground.

Shen Nanxing's eyes blazed with fury.

Who does Qiao Xingyang think he is, daring to try and steal An'an from him!

He placed one knee on Qiao Xingyang's chest and swung his fist again, punching Qiao Xingyang's face repeatedly.

"stop!"

When Qiao Xingyang’s men saw that their young master was about to be beaten to death by Shen Nanxing, they all stepped in to help.
