I didn't see anything aggressive about it, except that the rice grains were a bit bigger and there were a bit more ears of rice.

Li Qingyu tried to reach out and pluck a grain of rice to see what the rice inside looked like.

But as soon as his hand approached, the rice paddies in front of him, laden with heavy ears of rice, bent backward to avoid Li Qingyu's approaching hand.

Wow! It's actually quite shy, and it can even move...

It truly lives up to its B-grade seed status.

Li Qingyu looked on with curiosity, as if he had seen a fun toy.

"Doo-doo-doo~" A strange sound suddenly came from among the rice ears of the firecracker rice.

"Crack!"

Then, a dozen plump rice grains were flung towards Li Qingyu by the firecracker rice.

Could this be... what they call aggression, shoving rice? That's really interesting.

This is perfect for farmers, saving them the trouble of harvesting rice. It's even rice that can thresh automatically.

Looking at the flying rice grains, Li Qingyu couldn't help but think.

I turned sideways to avoid the rice grains.

The speed at which it hits someone isn't fast, and even if it hits someone, it probably wouldn't hurt much. With such weak attack power, it can still be sealed away. The ancient humans were really careful.

Just as Li Qingyu was mentally complaining about the excessive caution of the ancient human race...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…...

Suddenly, a series of explosions came from behind Li Qingyu.

The loud noise startled Li Qingyu, who quickly pulled Qiqi into his arms and crouched down on the grass, covering her head.

Once the explosions subsided, Li Qingyu carefully raised his head, which was covered in mud and grass, and turned to look behind him.

At this moment, the lush green grass behind them was covered with numerous small holes, each the size of a washbasin, densely distributed.

Scattered soil and grass leaves were everywhere from the explosion.

Li Qingyu stared wide-eyed at the craters scattered across the ground, his heart pounding even faster than when he used the Beast King's Heart.

Looking at the firecrackers and rice paddies in front of him, and then at the numerous craters on the ground beside him, a feeling of relief and survival filled Li Qingyu's heart.

Mom... It's too dangerous outside, I want to go home.

Forget about rice paddies and oases any longer, Li Qingyu hurriedly carried his precious daughter and ran back to Pineapple Castle.

Avoiding the scattered firecracker-covered rice plants along the way back, Li Qingyu locked the door as soon as he returned to Pineapple Castle.

Leaning against the iron gate, Li Qingyu let out a long sigh of relief.

It's too dangerous outside; it's safer to stay inside Pineapple Castle.

I'm never going out casually again; I'll stay home as much as possible.

If someone had been hit by a grain of rice during that last wave, whether they would have survived unscathed would have been entirely a matter of luck.

Li Qingyu looked at the remaining half-bag of firecracker rice seeds in his hand and broke out in a cold sweat.

Forget it, this thing is too dangerous, I'm not planting it. Whatever.

I'd better just lie down and rest. Farming doesn't seem to suit me. If I get the chance, I'll let Qiqi fly out and run wild. He's definitely not going out.

While Li Qingyu was not paying attention, in the pits blasted out by firecrackers on the rice paddies.

One by one, green rice seedlings are slowly growing out of the soil.

........................

Comrade Xiaofu put on his radiation protection mask, turned on the life detector that had been loaded, and walked towards the place where the purple minotaur had fallen.

Although Comrade Xiaofu believed that no one could survive being hit by two mushrooms in a row, his long-standing caution still led him to carefully advance step by step, holding his small Gatling gun and aiming it at the crash site.

Throughout the journey, the life detector did not issue any alarms.

Slowly advancing in this manner, Comrade Xiaofu finally arrived at the edge of the huge sand pit created by the mushroom explosion.

Looking into the sandpit, a mangled corpse lay crookedly in the center of the pit.

With dark purple skin, his once magnificent clothes were reduced to mere rags, his legs were missing, and his entire body was covered in radiation burns; even one of his bull horns had been blown off.

Comrade Xiaofu glanced at the life detector again and confirmed that there were no signs of life nearby.

He then hoisted the Gatling gun onto his back and slid down into the crater.

This rare sample absolutely must be brought back to Kobo's researchers for dissection. Flying without wings, withstanding two mushrooms, and still retaining the physical strength of a half-corpse—those researchers would go absolutely insane if they saw this thing.

Indeed, the researchers watching Xiaofu's live stream are now engaged in a frenzied discussion.

Not only that, some have already started calculating with draft paper, frantically deducing complex equations about speed, resistance, and strength.

Even most of the national representatives in the UN conference room turned their attention to Xiaofu.

After all, this was the first creature that Blue Star had encountered in the competition that appeared to be an alien contestant.

This is of great significance for assessing the overall combat capabilities of other planets.

Moreover, judging from the situation on site, the individual combat power of the contestants from other planets seems quite exaggerated. It's unclear what the overall combat power of their respective planets is.

Finally, Xiaofu arrived in front of the corpse.

Just as Xiaofu reached out and lifted the body, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and prepared to climb back onto the sandpit.

The mangled corpse suddenly opened its eyes, its originally deep purple pupils turning pitch black in an instant.

In an instant.

The pitch-black eyes turned into black mist, and the mangled corpse also shattered completely, turning into black mist as well.

Immediately afterwards, the black mist, like a python, suddenly coiled around Xiaofu's head.

Caught off guard, Xiaofu suddenly felt everything go black and his neck tighten. Something was crawling up his ears and into his brain, which terrified him so much that he quickly covered his ears.

Fortunately, Comrade Xiaofu brought a radiation protection mask; otherwise, the black fog could have penetrated more than one hole.

I felt some unblocked black mist spreading from my ears toward my brain.

Xiaofu didn't care about anything else.

On Xiaofu's shoulders, the machinery twisted rapidly, revealing two dark jet nozzles that were aimed at his head.

boom!!!

The next second, two streams of deep blue flames shot towards Xiaofu's head.

Seemingly sensing the heat of the flames, the black mist stopped clinging to Akio's head and quickly dissipated.

Then, it wrapped itself around Xiaofu's arm again.

Click!

The black mist instantly tore off Xiaofu's arm.

Then, carrying that arm, it sped away into the air.

Akio, who had just been sprayed with flames, used his remaining hand to tear off the mask that had already melted from the fire.

I looked up.

Then he saw the black mist carrying his arm as it flew into the sky.

A fierce glint flashed in Xiaofu's eyes, and he hurriedly used his remaining hand to pull out the giant sniper rifle from his back.

But when Akio pointed it at the sky, he realized...

The black mist has vanished without a trace...
