Lin Xuan wasn't idle either; the invisible vines danced in the wind, guiding the energy streams within the ancient tree to flow rapidly backward.
This is a newly discovered use of her superpower: her invisibility vine can not only lure the energy inside plants out, but also direct the flow of energy.
She thought of the monsters in fantasy dramas who often suffer from qi deviation during their cultivation, the principle of which is something like reversed meridian flow.
This inspired her; mutated plants were no different from those monsters and demons.
Let its meridians flow backward, let it go mad, and kill these annoying things.
The mutated tree, under attack from both inside and outside, was clearly unable to withstand the onslaught.
The entire massive canopy seemed to be inside a blender, its crown completely pulverized by the wind blades, along with the lily of the valley flowers that parasitized it, the fragments suspended in mid-air, spinning endlessly.
The thick trunk below was forced to be uprooted, and the whole tree emitted a piercing hissing sound.
Lin Xuan was prepared; the flexible, invisible vines split into several branches, their rounded tips tightly covering her and Xia Feng's ears.
In no time, the tree trunk was pushed open and split apart by the reverse flow of energy inside.
After a series of loud cracking sounds, the entire ancient tree was uprooted and destroyed, a flash of white light appeared at the roots, and a powerful shockwave spread rapidly in all directions.
The ancient tree exploded!
The moment Lin Xuan sensed the chaotic energy fluctuations inside the ancient tree, she immediately pulled Xia Feng into the space.
Xia Feng's superpowers were already exhausted. He was covered in cold sweat, his eyes were tightly closed, and his clenched hands were trembling slightly.
Lin Xuan quickly took out a few crystals to replenish his energy.
Xia Feng took a while to open his eyes and prop himself up to sit up from the sofa.
"Brother, are you alright?" Lin Xuan used a towel to wipe the dirt and sweat off Xia Feng's face.
"I'm fine. What's the situation outside?" Xia Feng took a towel and wiped Lin Xuan's dirty face.
The two quickly looked at the monitor in the living room.
Thick smoke billowed outside, obscuring everything, so Lin Xuan and Xia Feng had no choice but to wait inside the space for the smoke to dissipate.
Lin Xuan suddenly remembered that she seemed to have received a few gas masks at a labor protection supplies store in the farmers' market.
She scanned the warehouse with her mind, and sure enough, it was there!
He quickly took out two and put one on himself and Xia Feng.
Why didn't she discover this sooner? She was choked by the white mist from that lily of the valley flower, which made her runny nose and tear up.
"Let's go out and take a look. I wonder if Peng Xiaozhe and the other guy are hiding far enough, or if we might accidentally hurt them?"
Lin Xuan was extremely worried. Why was there always a risk of accidentally injuring her teammates in every battle?
"Peng Yu has earth-type abilities, so he should be able to withstand the shockwave." Xia Feng was also a little unsure, mainly because the explosion range was too large; the entire plaza was probably blown to pieces.
The shockwave had spread to an unknown distance; hopefully, Peng Yu and the others managed to escape it.
After the thick smoke dissipated a little, the two of them, wearing gas masks, stepped out of the space, only to slip and fall as soon as they came out.
The ground where the two had just been standing had sunk, forming a huge, pot-shaped crater in the entire square.
The ancient trees and the corpses entangled in their roots had all been blasted into dust, and the residential buildings around the square collapsed in a circular pattern.
Xia Feng quickly used his supernatural abilities to manipulate the pile of stones and earth, building steps under their feet to send them out of the pit.
Lin Xuan saw something flashing in the thick smoke.
The invisibility vine swiftly reached out and wrapped around the thing.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a crystal-clear gemstone.
This crystal is about the size of a palm, with one side being brownish-brown and the other side being light green. The two colors merge in the middle, forming a heart shape.
This crystal is quite beautiful; Lin Xuan thinks it might be something like an ancient tree core.
Surprisingly, no crystal nuclei formed inside the zombies, but crystal nuclei did form inside the plants.
In her previous life, Lin Xuan had never heard of plant crystal cores. Perhaps they existed, but she couldn't access them.
I'll keep this heart-shaped crystal and study it later. I need to hurry back with my brother to find Peng Xiaozhe and his brother.
Stepping unevenly onto the ruins, Lin Xuan nearly fell several times, but Xia Feng pulled her up in time each time.
In the end, Xia Feng carried Lin Xuan away.
Xia Feng's supernatural abilities had mostly recovered in the space. He mobilized his energy to rebuild the broken bricks and tiles under his feet into a simple path.
After roughly determining the direction, they headed towards where Peng Yu and his brother were.
As the ancient tree exploded, the strange plants in the town also lost their vitality, and the zombie arms that lived in symbiosis with the plants withered and drooped to the ground.
"Brother Peng, Brother Peng—" Xia Feng ran all the way to the spot where he had just parted ways with Peng Yu and the others, where most of the brick walls had collapsed due to the earthquake.
I hope I don't accidentally hurt my teammates...
Lin Xuan struggled to get off the ground, calling out, "Peng Xiaozhe, Peng Xiaozhe—"
She shouted as she used the invisible vines to scrape away at the bricks and broken tiles on the ground.
A mud wall not far from the two suddenly shattered with a bang, and the Peng brothers, Peng Yu and Peng Ze, emerged from behind it, covered in dust.
"Are you alright? Are you alright? Are you hurt?" Lin Xuan quickly stepped over the broken bricks.
She was wearing a gas mask, and Peng Ze was so frightened when he saw her that he quickly hid behind his brother.
"It's alright, it's alright. There was a huge explosion just now. I used the earthen wall to block it and I wasn't hurt. How are you two?"
Peng Yu fanned away the dust kicked up by the collapsing earthen wall with his hand.
“We’re not hurt either, brother. Here, we’re over here.”
Lin Xuan quickly called Xia Feng over.
"Did you blow up that tree? Goodness, it was such a big tree, how did you do that?"
