Chapter 16:21. Ancient Tree Vine Monster

Yu Zhiming first simmered the rice in a wok. The small pot was filled with the aroma of rice.

"It will be ready soon. Cooking is quick."

He served the rice and turned to speak to Tian Yuanyuan who came in.

"I can't help with the cooking, but I can wash the dishes."

Tian Yuanyuan didn't want to go out and face Qiao Zixi's gaze alone. She felt she had nowhere to hide in front of her, so she forced a smile and spoke.

After dinner, the three of them drove directly to the Cultural Park. The originally bustling park was now dead. Yu Zhiming cheered himself up, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and drove the car slowly forward. Tian Yuanyuan sat in the passenger seat, alert and tense. Qiao Zixi sat alone in the back seat, gently stroking her bulging belly with her hands, her eyes occasionally glancing out the window.

In front of me is a straight asphalt road, with towering ancient trees planted on both sides of the road. It is quiet, silent, and extremely quiet.

Apart from the sound of the car engine, no other sound could be heard. Qiao Zixi's eyes swept across the ancient tree like water. She glanced at the tense bodies of the two people, then closed her eyes to rest.

"Swish, swish. swish"

Yu Zhiming only heard a few sounds of breaking through the air, and then the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. The car body kept shaking, and after a few ups and downs, it actually climbed up a tree.

"Oh no, the car is tied to a tree!"

Yu Zhiming reacted quickly and stepped on the accelerator frantically, trying to break free from the vines. The whole car body was shaking continuously. Tian Yuanyuan opened the window and jumped out. The moment she stepped on the roof, a giant vine swept over. Tian Yuanyuan immediately ignored her feet and picked up the big knife and swung forward.

With a "clang" sound, sparks flew everywhere, his knuckles were numbed by the shock, and the whole person flew backwards. In an instant, he was tied up tightly by Siwu's vines and hung in the air.

"Yuanyuan!"

Yu Zhiming looked at Tian Yuanyuan who was hanging upside down, and then he looked at Qiao Zixi who was safe and sound in the back seat.

"Sister Qiao, please don't move in the car. I'm going to save Yuanyuan first."

"Um."

After receiving the response, Yu Zhiming climbed out of the window and punched the giant vine that was rushing towards him. The originally extremely hard vine was smashed into pieces by the punch. Seeing this, countless vines wrapped around him like tentacles. Yu Zhiming grabbed one of the vines and swung away in an instant.

Tian Yuanyuan was strangled by the vines and could not move. It seemed that all the bones in her body were crushed. Her head was congested and breathing became more and more difficult. Suddenly, a thin vine pierced into her body and went straight to her lower abdomen. It went unimpeded all the way and soon entered her dantian.

The originally motionless water-type energy core suddenly began to spin wildly, and the energy in the body was rioting. Tian Yuanyuan instinctively raised her finger, but saw a drop of water floating up, spinning along with the energy running wildly in the body. Through this tiny drop of water, Tian Yuanyuan seemed to see thousands of water worlds inside. She bounced this high-speed water drop towards the ancient tree.

"Bang, bang, bang"

There was a loud noise, occasionally mixed with painful roars, and the thin vines that had invaded the body suddenly retreated. The vines that were originally wrapped around the body seemed to have lost their strength. Tian Yuanyuan turned over, grabbed the vines, and slid to the ground.

Yu Zhiming, who was surrounded by vines, only heard a loud noise. The vines that were originally attacking madly slowly slowed down. He stood on the vines and looked down, and saw a mess.

An extremely thick ancient tree was blown beyond recognition, and the green blood spurting out dyed the asphalt road green. Tian Yuanyuan fell to the ground and looked at the sizzling green liquid in front of her, and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.

"Yuanyuan, run!"

The originally still liquid suddenly began to move rapidly, and Tian Yuanyuan, who was standing on the ground, was the first to be caught in it. Before she fell into a coma, she seemed to see a ray of light rising from the tree hole.

Yu Zhiming watched Tian Yuanyuan being sucked into the tree hole by the green liquid and disappeared in an instant. He jumped down and was about to jump into the hole when a shout rang out.

"stop!"
