Chapter 1061 What a boastful tone!
What's most despairing is that above their heads are two mutated vines poised to strike.
When Ye Xiumei saw the two vines, her heart sank.
She had once witnessed a young man fleeing in panic being pierced through the heart by a huge willow vine.
Even though the mutated plants were later effectively contained and no longer easily threatened their lives, the tragic state of the young man before his death still left her with a particularly severe psychological trauma.
As a result, she has been having nightmares every night for the past few months, dreaming of that terrible scene.
This month was a bit better, but she never expected that just when she thought these dangers were far away from her and her family, the same scene would reappear.
And this time, these vines are aimed at her!
Ye Xiumei's eyes widened, filled with despair.
If she could, she would give anything, even her own life, to save her daughter.
But she knew better than anyone that even if she was willing to sacrifice herself to protect her daughter, this terrible vine could still pierce her heart and take her daughter away with her.
The moment the vines fell, Ye Xiumei hugged her daughter tightly, closed her eyes, and shed tears of regret.
If only... if only she hadn't gone out today, if only she hadn't brought her child to this mall...
The expected pain did not occur; instead, they heard their daughter's joyful shouts: "Mommy, Mommy, the fairy sister has come to save us!"
Fairy Sister?
Ye Xiumei opened her eyes and discovered that the two "daggers" that had been hanging above their heads had been cut in half and landed on the ground not far from them.
It's like a gecko's severed tail, lying on the ground, twisting and struggling, waiting for death.
And at the entrance of the shop to their left, a very young and beautiful girl had appeared out of nowhere.
The blonde girl who had previously spotted Ye Xiumei and her daughter changed her expression upon seeing this scene: "Who did this?"
Behind her was the gray-haired boy Ye Xiumei had first seen, the one who could manipulate mutated plants to attack people. Clearly, the two vines that had attacked them were made by this boy.
Because the vines had been cut off at the roots, the boy's face turned pale, and his gaze toward Ye Wanxi was filled with hatred.
"Who are you?"
Although the gray-haired boy can manipulate mutated plants, not all of them can be used by him. Before he can manipulate these mutated plants, he needs to subdue them and establish a mental link with them.
To differentiate these spoils, he even classified them according to the strength of these mutated plants.
Although the periwinkle that Ye Wanxi had just cut down was only a level one plant with little lethality, the gray-haired boy's mental power was still affected when it was cut down after a mental link was established.
His temples were throbbing with pain, making him feel very uncomfortable, and his tone of voice was naturally not very pleasant either.
Ye Wanxi already knew about these people's "heroic deeds" before she arrived, so she naturally had no good impression of them at all.
Hearing this, he sneered and walked towards the mother and daughter, saying sarcastically, "You don't even know who I am, yet you dare to come here and cause trouble. Aren't you afraid of overstepping your bounds and getting your waist chopped off?"
The gray-haired boy and the blonde girl were both young, probably under twenty, in the prime of their lives, when they were most arrogant and reckless. They had never suffered such humiliation before.
They couldn't hold back any longer and started fighting.
The gray-haired boy took out a thorny bougainvillea vine, one of the two most aggressive exotic plants in his possession. The vine was covered in thorns, and once someone was entangled and pricked, the plant's venom would seep into the victim's bloodstream and circulate throughout their body within seconds. It was a deadly poison that could kill instantly.
The gray-haired boy used this strange plant to harm many people abroad, and all of them died tragically.
The blonde girl released short arrows made of solidified gold. These arrows were only one-third the length of ordinary long arrows, but they had extremely strong destructive power and could easily penetrate even steel.
The superhumans sent by City D to rescue people died from these short arrows.
Although Ye Xiumei didn't know how powerful these things were, she still couldn't help but shout, "Be careful!" when she saw the golden short arrows and bougainvillea vines flying towards Ye Wanxi.
Bang--
Ye Wanxi had noticed the two's subtle movements long ago. The moment the bougainvillea vines and the short arrows approached, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her right hand spread its five fingers slightly.
The purple jade fan that had been lying in her palm suddenly started to operate, and a powerful and domineering magical force poured out, forming a small barrier like a shield, which knocked down all the short arrows that flew in front of her.
Immediately, Ye Wanxi swung her right hand again, and the shield took the initiative to meet the bougainvillea vine head-on, using its downward swing to smash it away.
Short arrows fell to the ground with a clatter, and the bougainvillea vines smashed a large hole in the wall of the clothing store. As they slid down, many of the thorns on the vines fell off.
Ye Xiumei and her daughter were stunned by what they saw.
When Ye Wanxi walked up to them, she asked with concern, "Are you alright? Can you stand up?"
Just as she was waking up from a dream, Ye Xiumei struggled to her feet, her body feeling like it was about to fall apart, and she held her daughter as she swayed. She didn't forget to thank Ye Wanxi: "Miss, thank you... thank you for coming to save us."
Ye Wanxi noticed that Ye Xiumei's complexion was not good, and she must have been injured. She said gently, "Don't be shy. You should find a house to hide in for a while. The rescue team will be here soon."
Ye Xiumei understood the implication in her words and her expression changed slightly: "Miss, aren't you coming with us?"
"I need to deal with them first and then go rescue the others." Ye Wanxi thought she was worried that she might encounter danger while waiting here, so she added, "Don't worry, as long as you deal with them, you'll be safe here. The rescue team is right at the door. They'll be in just three to five minutes and will be able to get you out of here safely right away."
"Deal with us? What a boastful tone!" Seeing his "beloved pet" severely injured, the gray-haired boy's face grew even paler, and his body swayed slightly.
The blonde girl helped him up and called out with concern, "Brother..."
The gray-haired boy shoved her away without any mercy, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "None of you will escape today; you will all die here!"
As soon as the words were spoken, not only did the bougainvillea stand upright again, but an even more lush purple vine also appeared before everyone, baring its fangs and claws to assert its presence.
