Cheng Zhen and his companion struggled to deal with the mutated sword hemp, which was of a higher level than them, both in terms of ability and stamina!
Especially Yu Fen, he was just a very basic superhuman!
The mutated sisal was extremely arrogant: "You think you can kill me? Haha, that's hilarious!"
"Come on, I'll send you on your way to the underworld and see how many foolish humans are just like you!"
"Hahaha!"
Yu Fen attacked while retreating: "Boss! This thing has sucked human blood! No wonder it's become so powerful! What do we do? We can't beat it!"
"We have to fight even if we can't win!"
Cheng Zhen gritted his teeth, using his lightsaber ability to hit the target every time, and unleashed a flurry of blows on the mutated sword-wielding creature. However, he only managed to scratch its surface, without causing any serious damage.
Cheng Zhen and Yu Fen wanted to completely eradicate the mutated sisal, but in reality, their strength was insignificant compared to this mutated sisal plant.
While it wasn't quite to the point of an ant trying to shake a tree, they certainly didn't gain any benefit whatsoever.
After fighting for half a day, both of them were panting heavily.
Cheng Zhen even used his earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a skill that allows one to escape from the ground) skill in an attempt to cut off its roots underground. Unfortunately, before he could even get close to its roots, he was forced to retreat from the soil by its sharp leaves.
Yu Fen was further injured because Jiang Xiaoshu's superpower was weakened, causing her purification ability to suddenly slacken. The sharp leaves found an opening and pierced through his shoulder blade.
Fresh blood flowed along the veins of the pointed leaves and was continuously absorbed by the sisal. So this is how it absorbs the energy of others!
Seeing that his condition was not good, Jiang Wan quickly summoned her vine whip and swung it directly at the sisal leaf that had injured Yu Fen. The sisal leaf was just a clone of the mutated sisal and did not have much supporting energy. When Jiang Wan hit it, it was directly whipped off Yu Fen's body.
Jiang Wan quickly took out some wound medicine for him, all of which were wound medicines that Wu Xuan had made himself: "Apply this first and calm down."
Just then, Cheng Zhen emerged from underground, also looking disheveled. Upon seeing the situation, he quickly ordered in a deep voice, "Retreat!"
He picked up Jiang Xiaoshu, gave him a crystal of excellent quality, and said, "Use it quickly. You rest for a bit. I'll take care of things from here."
Cheng Zhen also used the crystal to rest, giving up the fight, and took over the purification ability from him.
He had a bad feeling: "This thing is not easy to deal with."
He began to survey the plantation's surroundings, intending to circle around from the side. The mutated sisal was guarding the main entrance; surely it wouldn't be responsible for the area behind it?
But just as he had this thought, a weak, mournful little voice shattered his hopes.
"Its power is very strong, and it has affected almost the entire sisal plantation here. Its energy is all around this plantation, so we won't be able to dig up any sisal unless we kill it."
The speaker was Jiang Xiaoxin. She pouted, looking gloomy, angry, and seemingly remorseful.
Everyone then realized that they had been so busy fighting the high-level boss, the strange swordsman, that they had overlooked this little girl.
Jiang Wan quickly hugged her to comfort her: "Xin Xin, don't worry, we will find a way to kill this monster. Although it is an apocalyptic world with a lack of oxygen, it is still a world dominated by humans!"
Her words were less a way of comforting Jiang Xiaoxin and more a way of comforting everyone.
Cheng Zhen's eyes were deep as he echoed Jiang Wan's words of comfort to the little girl: "Yes, Xin Xin, don't worry, Uncle will kill it as soon as possible."
"Mmm!" Jiang Xiaoxin wasn't as downcast as they had imagined. Instead, she nodded optimistically, clenched her fist tightly, and cheered them on. "That's right! We will definitely defeat this ugly thing!"
Just then, a gust of wind suddenly swept from behind them. Cheng Zhen immediately sensed the energy of the other mutated plant bodies. He turned around and was shocked to see countless vines coming from afar on the ground, and countless vines spreading over the walls of the surrounding buildings.
Countless!
Incredibly fast!
Holy crap!
Everyone turned around, stunned by what they saw!
Yu Fen couldn't help but swear. He thought these mutated vines were also there to attack them, and sweat beaded on his forehead: "One is hard enough to deal with, and now so many have come? Are we going to die?!"
Cheng Zhen's gaze was deep, and he quickly realized that the vines were not coming towards them, but rather bypassing the off-road vehicle they were riding in and heading straight towards the sisal plantation!
Jiang Wan subconsciously looked at Jiang Xiaoxin, and Cheng Zhen and the others belatedly turned to look at her as well.
Jiang Xiaoxin was a little embarrassed at first, but when she saw the look of surprise in their eyes, she couldn't help but feel proud. She raised her chin and said arrogantly, "They are the helpers I recruited! Please don't hurt them!"
"helper?"
"You found him?"
Cheng Zhen and Yu Fen asked together.
"Yes!" The naive little girl nodded calmly, completely unaware of how terrifying what she had just said was!
She, a three-year-old human child, a psychic with sensory abilities, can actually control mutated plants for her personal use?!
Imagine what would happen if people found out about this attribute!
Jiang Wan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. Before Cheng Zhen and the others could even speak, she sternly warned, "Xin Xin! You must not tell anyone about your special ability except for us! Especially the fact that you can command these mutated plants for your own use!"
The thought of her three-year-old daughter facing suspicion, suppression, or political plunder in the future fills her with dread!
She's just a three-year-old child! Why would such a powerful superpower awaken within her?!
Why is it that she herself is just an ordinary, unremarkable tree hole space?!
She would rather have this controversial superpower for herself!
Jiang Xiaoxin was startled by her mother's unusually serious and earnest expression, and subconsciously nodded in agreement: "Okay, Mom, don't worry, I will protect the little secret."
Jiang Wan emphasized: "No, this is not a small secret."
"Oh, okay..." Jiang Xiaoxin nodded blankly.
Jiang Xiaoshu was puzzled, and even strongly disagreed: "But what's the use of us hiding? Sooner or later we'll need to use her abilities. Instead of hiding and being afraid of being noticed, we should strengthen ourselves so that others won't dare to covet them!"
He was even colder than Jiang Wan and rarely spoke, so his long speech was resounding and impactful, striking deep into everyone's hearts.
