"Uncle, I'm scared!"
Xiao Liangzhou held Yunhua's hand tightly, his eyes fixed on the mutated black scorpion behind them, his face filled with terror.
"Don't be afraid, they can't catch up with us. Look ahead, don't look at them."
Yunhua patted his little head and told him to sit down and not move around.
He continued to keep his eyes on the mutated black scorpion behind him.
'Swish swish—'
Just then, rustling sounds came from all around, as if something was crawling quickly on the ground.
What is that sound?
Yunfan took the flashlight and shone it around the ground.
Aside from the mutated black scorpions still chasing their car, there were only zombies approaching from a distance.
But it's clear that this isn't the sound they're making.
A bad feeling suddenly rose in Jiang Nian'an's heart. After exchanging a glance with Shen Nanxing, she shouted at the same time, "Get out of the car, quickly!"
However, the two of them spoke too slowly.
Before they could get out of the car, more than a dozen vines shot out from the darkness, piercing through the car windows and heading straight for them.
A glint of electricity flashed in Shen Nanxing's eyes, and crackling currents filled the air as they struck the vines directly.
The very tip of the vine instantly turned black and charred, turning into ashes and dissipating into the air.
Jiang Nian'an took out a dagger, and with a green glow, swung it down fiercely, severing the vines directly.
Blood-like sap oozed from the broken ends of the vines, dripping onto the car windows and seats.
It emitted a strange smell, a mixture of plant scents and the stench of rust and blood.
Yunfan and Yunhua also activated their superpowers at the same time, freezing the vines with ice spikes and forcefully slashing down with water blades.
A few 'click-click' sounds.
The vines broke off section by section, fell to the ground, and shattered into pieces.
Sensing the threat, the main body of the vines quickly retracted.
The four people took the opportunity to quickly open the door and get out of the car.
"Uncle, the scorpions are here!"
Xiao Liangzhou trembled with fear as he watched the mutated black scorpions crawling towards them.
Shen Nanxing stomped his right foot heavily on the ground, and lightning exploded from beneath his feet.
The electric currents surged across the ground, dense and dazzling, all rushing towards the mutated black scorpion.
'Zzzzzzz'
The mutated black scorpions halted their advance, their bodies crackling with electricity, convulsing uncontrollably, and venom spraying out uncontrollably.
As it landed on the ground, it made a hissing, corrosive sound and emitted puffs of white smoke.
However, Jiang Nian'an and the others couldn't care less about the mutated black scorpion at the moment.
The 'swish swish' crawling sound is still there.
Jiang Nian'an pointed to the office building next door and entrusted Xiao Liangzhou to the king, "Your Majesty, take him to that building and protect him."
The king nodded.
Xiao Liangzhou didn't want to leave Yunhua.
He had a strong sense of dependence on Yunhua, who had taken care of him since his mother's death and would occasionally comfort him, but he dared not say it.
Trembling, he followed the king into the building next door.
'brush'
A vine moved swiftly along the ground.
As it approached Xiao Liangzhou and the Great King, the vine suddenly leaped up and lashed out at Xiao Liangzhou.
"Ah!" Xiao Liangzhou was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Just then, the king leaped forward, shielding Xiao Liangzhou behind him, and bit into the vine.
Then, with a "plop," it spat the bitten vine onto the ground.
The vines, having missed their target, retreated once more.
When Xiao Liangzhou saw the vines shrink back, he pouted and was about to cry.
"Don't cry!"
Jiang Nian'an feigned a fierce expression, glaring at Xiao Liangzhou, "Get up right now and run inside, or else—"
She raised the rattan whip in her hand and lashed it hard across the ground.
Startled by her, Xiao Liangzhou suppressed his fear and tears, quickly got up, and continued to follow the King into the building.
Jiang Nian'an watched as Xiao Liangzhou and Da Wang safely entered the building before turning her gaze away.
'swish swish'
The vines shot out again, three times the number of the previous ones.
Jiang Nian'an raised her hand, and a burst of green light shot out from her palm, which then transformed into countless emerald leaves that attacked the vines.
Shen Nanxing's lightning followed closely behind, and together with Yun Fan and Yun Hua's water blades and ice spikes, all the vines were cut down.
But in less than half a minute, the severed vines grew back and continued to attack the four of them.
After repeating this several times, Jiang Nian'an turned to look at Shen Nanxing and said, "Brother Shen, we can't go on like this."
Looking at it now, these vines really can't hurt them.
The vines can regenerate continuously, but their special abilities are limited.
If this drags on, their defeat is inevitable.
"Brothers, cover me, I'm going to find the main body of the vine."
The current stalemate can only be resolved by finding the main body of the vine and completely cutting it down.
"I'll go find it!"
Shen Nanxing took a step forward, his whole body crackling with lightning.
“Brother Chen, I’m a wood elementalist, so I can sense the location of the main vine faster than you.”
Jiang Nian'an smiled at the three of them, "My safety is in your hands now!"
After saying that, she rushed out in the direction from which the vines had shot out.
The main body of the vine seemed to have sensed Jiang Nian'an's intention.
In an instant, most of the vines rushed towards Jiang Nian'an.
'Boom—'
Shen Nanxing controlled the lightning to form an electric grid above her.
The vines naturally feared the power of lightning, and dared not attack from above. Instead, they fell to the ground and sprang up from underground.
A flash of coldness crossed Shen Nanxing's eyes as the power grid split in two.
One is above, and one is below.
The vines had no choice but to attack from the left and right.
Yunfan and Yunhua ran forward quickly, one on the left and one on the right.
They protected Jiang Nian'an on either side.
Jiang Nian'an sensed the fluctuations of wood-type alien energy in the air, searching for the point where the fluctuations were strongest.
"Found it!"
A smile appeared on Jiang Nian'an's face as she used the vines to control the dagger and stabbed it fiercely twenty meters to her left front.
'Chirp—'
The vine was pierced by the dagger, producing a sound similar to a scream.
Its instincts told it to escape.
It was no match for the four people in front of it.
The main body of the vine quickly retracted all its parts, abandoning the part that was firmly pinned to the ground by Jiang Nian'an's dagger, and darted directly into the soil and ran away.
"Trying to run? No way!" Jiang Nian'an had already locked onto it and gave chase.
Shen Nanxing and the other two withdrew their powers and followed.
The vine kept shifting its position, trying to shake off Jiang Nian'an's pursuit.
Unfortunately, Jiang Nian'an had her own method for tracking mutated plants.
Not only did it stay close behind it, but it also threw daggers at it from time to time, hitting it accurately every time.
Many of its parts, which had shrunk to only one meter in length, were cut off from its body.
The vines' strength was constantly dwindling, but their escape pace did not slow down.
