The saliva dripping from the man-eating flower's mouth onto the ground felt like sulfuric acid had been poured on it; the corrosive sound and the smoke made it impossible to get close.

The man-eating flower's vines actually circled the entire mountain, meaning they would encounter it even if they took a detour.

They also saw some dried-up carcasses of poultry and livestock scattered on the ground around them. Yes, they were dried-up carcasses, all of them looking like they had been drained of blood.

No wonder we haven't encountered any poultry or livestock released by the military for so long; they've all been sucked dry by it.

The military deployed the plants by helicopter, so they didn't notice the carnivorous plants here.

"Everyone be careful not to get pricked by the vines. This thing sucks blood, and its saliva is corrosive, so be careful not to get it on your skin."

Fang Xiyue kept using her ice-type ability to freeze the man-eating flower. Although she couldn't freeze the flower itself, she could freeze its saliva, thus reducing the risk of being corroded.

Although the battle against the carnivorous plant was difficult, everyone believed they would win.

The contestants hadn't realized anything was wrong, but the spectators watching from the sidelines were terrified and demanded that the contestants return and continue only after the danger had been eliminated.

"It would be such a waste if the contestants lost their lives because of this!"

"That's right, it's just a competition, there's no need to risk your life. I hope the organizers will send someone to help eliminate the man-eating plant!"

However, this request was rejected outright. The apocalypse is fraught with danger, and if there were no difficulties, the competition would be meaningless.

Moreover, they've set up a protection mechanism so players can simply withdraw from the match and return to their city! They have no worries about their lives at all.

Upon hearing this result, people from various cities had no choice but to return home. They watched the live broadcast nervously, sharing the tension with the contestants.

In order to find the location of the crystal core, Fang Xiyue kept freezing the man-eating flower. Although it would break free very quickly, freezing it for a second or two was still useful.

If it weren't for the competition, she wouldn't be in such a passive position now. This man-eating flower is at most level three, and she could easily win. But now she has to fight it for so long.

Fang Xiyue unleashed 20 Ice Soul Swords, relentlessly stabbing different spots on the man-eating flower to see which part it cared about most; that was probably where the crystal core was located.

The four husbands were locked in a fierce battle with the man-eating flower's enormous mouth. The flower's head was as big as a car, and its teeth were so sharp that when it bit into a bone fragment, nothing was left.

Finally, when the Ice Soul Sword struck the man-eating flower's 'neck'—just below its head—the flower became even angrier.

Although it had no eyes, Fang Xiyue felt as if the man-eating flower was staring at her with a vicious gaze.

"The crystal core is under the head and around the neck, concentrate your attack!"

Fang Xiyue loudly informed her four husbands, and instantly, except for Jun Nanxuan who was protecting everyone, everyone else used their superpowers to attack the man-eating flower's neck.

To protect its neck, the carnivorous plant's attack was disrupted, and it was clearly somewhat anxious.

Green blood began to flow from the attacked 'neck', and it was faintly glowing.

The carnivorous plant that started bleeding seemed to become less aggressive, and its saliva became less corrosive.

The carnivorous plant was weakened by the attack, so the vines on the other side began to search for prey that could suck blood.

Zhang Bo, who was still entangled, became its first target. The vines pierced directly into Zhang Bo's neck, continuously sucking away his blood. The vines rolled as if swallowing him.

"Help me! Help me!"

Zhang Bo's face turned pale for a moment, and the others quickly moved closer and chopped at the vines.

The vines snapped instantly, and a strong stench of blood filled the air. Zhang Bo's blood splattered on the ground, and he had already passed out.

A huge, purplish-blue lump had swelled up on his neck, giving the impression of being bitten and infected by a poisonous insect, and something seemed to be moving inside it.

In this situation, Zhang Bo's life was in danger, and his teammates could only bend down and use his finger to click the button to withdraw from the game.

Zhang Bo's figure vanished instantly, while his teammate became the target of the vines' attack.

Fortunately, others were also watching and helped him when the vines were about to pierce his body; otherwise, he would have been the next blood bank victim.

Thanks to Fang Xiyue and the others' efforts, the crystal core was finally exposed. Fang Xiyue used the Ice Soul Sword to flick it, and the crystal core was directly peeled off the man-eating flower's body.

The man-eating plant quickly shrank and eventually returned to its original size, and all its vines retracted, bringing the battle to an end.

Fearing that the man-eating flower might mutate again, Fang Xiyue pretended to have Chen Shuai, who had rushed over, burn the man-eating flower, but in reality, she reached out and put it into her spatial storage at that moment.

The movement was so fast that no one noticed it. This man-eating flower might come in very useful in the future.

The contestants who were fighting the vines knew they had succeeded when the vines retreated, and they sat down on the ground to rest in a sorry state.

Nowadays, people don't care about their appearance anymore; their hair and clothes are all messy and dirty.

My face and body were covered in sweat, my clothes were almost completely soaked, and I inevitably had some cuts and bruises on my hands and face.

Mu Yunfan stood there waiting for Fang Xiyue and the others to come out. Ten minutes later, Fang Xiyue returned, surrounded by her four husbands.

Mu Yunfan's eyes were fixed on Fang Xiyue. He was really afraid to see her seriously injured and afraid that she would not be able to say another word to him.

Even after confirming that she only had minor scratches and was otherwise unharmed, Mu Yunfan did not relax.

He longed to rush up and embrace Fang Xiyue, for it would be the joy of something lost and found again, but he knew he was not worthy.

However, instead of him hugging someone else, Fang Xiyue was caught in a hug by Leng Yu who rushed over, and almost fell over, but luckily Jun Nanxuan supported her.

"Yueyue, I'm so glad you're alright!" Leng Yu had been worried sick the whole time. She didn't want anything to happen to her good friend, and of course, she didn't want anything to happen to her good friend's husbands either.

Everyone had lost a lot of their superpowers in the battle, so they rested on the spot and ate to replenish their energy.

Those whose bodies can't hold on can lean against a big tree; those whose bodies can still hold on can sit down on the spot.

While they were resting, the viewers watching the live broadcast also wiped away their sweat.

Some people even cried. It was terrifying. Thankfully, they were alright. Thankfully, they were alright.

Everyone silently thanked Fang Xiyue and the others. If they hadn't killed the carnivorous flower's true form, everyone present would probably have ended up like Zhang Bo.

The footage captured by the live streaming equipment is extremely clear; seeing things from a god-like perspective is truly a different experience.

These live streaming devices were all bought by Fang Xiyue from the system store and then sold to Xingcheng. They don't need to be installed; they will find a place to follow you on their own.

Each team has its own camera; you can choose whichever team you want to watch.

If you want to see more groups, you can also use split-screen mode, and the resolution of the split-screen mode is not low either.
