Jiang Wan, Jiang Xiaoxin, and Jiang Xiaoshu all looked eager to try, their expressions saying: "Go for it! What are you dawdling for? Hurry up and go!"
Instead, Cheng Zhen, Yu Fen, and the other seven teammates backed down, even finding it absurd: "Big sister! There are level three mutated plants inside! And four of them!"
Aren't they the four basic mutated plants?!
Looking at our own lineup, their highest level is only level two! And there are only two of them!
two!
That's all!
Before they could figure out what to do, the backpack behind Jiang Xiaoxin suddenly bulged, and one after another, little seedlings jumped out and hopped through the crack in the door.
Soon, a series of noises came from inside the door.
Cheng Zhen then gave the order: "Attack!"
The heavy iron gate was opened, and everyone was shocked by what they saw.
Or rather, they were all stunned by the sights of nature!
This is less of an underground military factory and more of a small plant world.
The king of this place is the Cape sundew, which has mutated to level four, has just successfully hunted, and is sleeping soundly.
Although it has no offensive power at this moment, its pink, slimy leaf veins still exude a strong murderous intent, sending chills down one's spine!
Around it are countless derivative sundews. Although they are only primary mutated plants, they simply do not have enough nutrients and have no chance to upgrade again.
No, perhaps their lifelong mission is simply to provide nourishment for the level four mutated kings.
Outside, as Jiang Xiaoxin mentioned, there are four level-three mutated plants: two pitcher plants and two pitcher plants.
The pitcher plant has a unique organ for absorbing nutrients—the pitcher. The pitcher is cylindrical with a slightly enlarged lower half and a lid on the opening. It is named for its resemblance to a pig's cage.
The pitcher plant is characterized by each of its leaves resembling a pitcher, which also acts as an insect trap. It secretes digestive juices that mix with rainwater to digest insects that fall inside, and then absorbs their nutrients to support its growth.
As soon as Jiang Wan entered, she warned, "The pitcher plant secretes nectar glands under its canopy, which are poisonous and can cause numbness. Be careful!"
"The leaves of the pitcher plant are insect traps, and there are digestive juices inside the leaves, so be careful!"
However, Cheng Zhen and the others hardly needed to lift a finger. The seedlings that Jiang Xiaoxin brought were no ordinary plants; they were all level three mutated plants, more than capable of dealing with pitcher plants and bottle plants.
A moment later, the four level-three mutated seedlings perished along with the four level-three mutated plants.
The battle was fierce, leaving only a ground littered with dead plants and eight level-three energy crystals.
Before Cheng Zhen and Yu Fen could even feel their joy, they instructed Jiang Wan, "Quickly put it away!"
Then, quickly lead your people to kill off the remaining basic mutated plants before the level 4 Cape Sundews wake up.
Some of the mutated plants were still in the process of upgrading and mutating, so Cheng Zhen and his team handled them without any trouble.
In no time, all the mutated plants in the basement were reduced to lifeless corpses.
As if sensing a murderous intent, the fourth-level Cape sundew, which had been fast asleep, suddenly woke up.
It stretched out its tentacles and branches, like a person stretching, filling the entire room with its body. The branches and leaves covered with highly toxic slime forced Cheng Zhen and his group to retreat and shrink into a corner.
Extremely dangerous!
The murderous intent is palpable!
Cheng Zhen subconsciously wanted to send Jiang Wan and her two children out through the door, only to find that the exit door was blocked by the slime on the sundew branches and leaves, and the door could not be opened at all.
At this point, he had no choice but to fight!
But he's only a level two superhuman!
Facing a level four, extremely powerful mutated plant, it would be a lie to say I wasn't afraid!
Yu Fen suddenly had an idea: "Boss, the crystals! Those level three crystals from earlier! We can use them!"
Cheng Zhen suddenly realized, "Yes!"
With so many level-three crystals, maybe he can level up after absorbing their energy?
Why not use it? Especially at such a crucial moment, it might come in handy.
Cheng Zhen asked Jiang Wan for crystals, but before he could even open his mouth, he saw her give all eight level-three crystals to Jiang Xiaoxin!
Jiang Xiaoxin threw them all into the small bag she was carrying on her back without hesitation. He couldn't help but feel a jolt in his brow, his intuition telling him that he was out of crystals and couldn't level up!
But then he realized that she had an assistant to deal with this level four Cape sundew!
Sure enough, a rosebud emerged from Jiang Xiaoxin's bag a moment later.
As soon as it emerged, Cheng Zhen sensed a powerful energy, much stronger than his own, comparable to a level four sundew!
It turns out that this rose was a level 3 mutant. After absorbing the eight level 3 energy crystals, it upgraded to a level 4 mutant!
In a confined space, two Level 4 mutants suddenly appeared, and the basic ability users behind Cheng Zhen instantly felt a powerful pressure!
When the Level 4 Rose appeared, the Cape Sundew became even more excited, but it did not immediately want to confront the Rose. Instead, it set its sights on Cheng Zhen and the others.
It wants to kill them, absorb their energy, and strengthen itself!
Cheng Zhen saw through its intentions and immediately brought Jiang Wan and the twins to her teammates' side, then instructed Jiang Xiaoshu: "You must do your best to protect your mother, your sister, and these uncles!"
Jiang Xiaoshu nodded solemnly!
He and Yu Fen then joined forces to attack the Cape Sundew from the other side, flanking it from both sides with the rose.
Actually, before they came, Jiang Wan and Jiang Xiaoxin did not expect that there would be level four mutated plants here!
Therefore, they only managed to cultivate five level-three mutated plants in the wild, and that was already their limit.
But now, by a twist of fate, the level 3 Rose has become level 4. However, the newly upgraded mutant is still far inferior in combat power to the mutant that is about to mutate into level 4. Without the help of Cheng Zhen and the others, it would be difficult for it to win.
Even with Cheng Zhen and Yu Fen's help, they were still complete novices in front of the level four mutated plants!
They were kept at bay by the sundew's foliage and couldn't get close at all!
Its leaves are covered in venom, and touching them will cause severe corrosion to the skin!
This characteristic also makes it difficult for rose vines to wrap tightly around it, because over time, the rose vines will be corroded by the sticky sap on its leaves.
Jiang Wan stared at it for a while, then suddenly pointed out, "The roots! Its roots don't have any sap!"
