A breeze blew by, carrying the scents of various plants in the air.
Jiang Nian'an sensed the wood-type energy fluctuations that only mutated plants possess.
The energy source was precisely in the direction the vine was fleeing.
It seems it has helpers ahead.
We can't let it run away anymore.
Jiang Nian'an threw out her dagger again, forcing the main body of the vine to leap to their left front, while shouting at Shen Nanxing.
"Brother Chen, lightning strikes fifteen meters to the left front!"
"clear!"
The lightning struck Shen Nanxing in response.
'Chirp'
The main body of the vine let out another scream, bursting out of the ground, billowing black smoke, and its escape speed slowed down.
"Little Silver, go bite off its crystal core!"
Jiang Nian'an grabbed Xiao Yin and threw it directly onto the main body of the vine.
Little Silver bit into the main body of the vine, first paralyzing it completely with poison, then crawling around the vine but not finding the crystal core.
It blinked, momentarily bewildered.
Where is the crystal core of this big black sphere?
While it was confused, Jiang Nian'an and the other three had already arrived in front of the main body of the vine.
The main body of the vine is a large sphere with a diameter of more than one meter.
Its long or short, limp bodies hang loosely from its lower body, making it look somewhat like an octopus at first glance.
"Little Silver, where's the crystal core?"
Seeing that the main body of the vine was no longer moving, Jiang Nian'an subconsciously assumed that Xiao Yin had already obtained the crystal core.
Little Silver shook its head at Jiang Nian'an, hissing.
I couldn't find it; I don't know where its crystal core is.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian'an was taken aback at first, but then she realized what he meant.
"Little Silver, have you never fought with mutated plants before? Let me tell you, the crystal cores of mutated plants are all hanging from their roots."
She stepped forward, preparing to uproot the main body of the vine.
These mutant plants, which can move quickly in the soil, have underdeveloped root systems.
In addition, the soil becomes loose due to their movement, making it easy to uproot them.
"I'll do it!"
Shen Nanxing grabbed the main body of the vine and pulled it up by the roots with a forceful pull.
Jiang Nian'an touched the base of the vine and quickly found the crystal core in the middle of the base.
She didn't rush to pull it off, but first pointed it out to Xiao Yin.
"Little Silver, look, its crystal core is right here."
She turned on the flashlight so that Xiao Yin could see more clearly.
Xiao Yin nodded, indicating that she had remembered.
Jiang Nian'an then pulled the crystal core off and stored it in her spatial storage.
She glanced ahead, a hint of eagerness in her eyes.
To other types of ability users, the crystal cores of mutated plants are no different from the crystal cores in the brains of zombies and mutated animals.
However, for wood-type ability users, absorbing more crystal cores from mutated plants may enhance their talents, thereby increasing their growth potential.
If it weren't for the fact that places with abundant plants also have abundant animals, and that she currently possesses the constitution to absorb mutated animal essences...
She had already tricked Shen Nanxing and the others into taking the mountain path.
Plants are naturally afraid of fire and lightning.
With Shen Nanxing around, it would be easy for her to obtain some crystal cores of mutated plants.
But now—
Jiang Nian'an glanced at Shen Nanxing and the other two beside her.
They all looked tired.
Continuous combat has brought them to their limits.
Never mind, there's always another day.
"Let's go back the way we came and find the king and that child."
Jiang Nian'an bent down and picked up Xiao Yin, then turned around and walked back with Shen Nanxing.
They had just chased after them all the way and had come deep into the neighborhood again.
"Roar~"
The zombies gradually gathered again.
Not wanting to waste any more time, the four of them ran in groups of three or two, rushing all the way to the entrance of the residential area.
"Oh my god, after this afternoon and this evening, I'm so tired, hot, and hungry!"
Yunfan, supporting himself on his knees, was panting heavily, his body covered in sweat.
Although Shen Nanxing and Yun Hua did not speak, they were not panting heavily like Yun Fan.
But Jiang Nian'an knew that the two of them were just like Yun Fan.
Jiang Nian'an handed each of the three a bottle of ice water. "Have some water and rest for a bit. I'll go and collect the crystal core from the scorpion's brain."
"I'll be with you."
Shen Nanxing had just taken a sip of water when he heard this and was about to follow.
"No need, I can collect it very quickly using my superpowers."
Jiang Nian'an refused him and walked alone towards the mutated black scorpion.
Shen Nanxing ignored her and, after gulping down the water in the bottle, still walked towards Jiang Nian'an.
Jiang Nian'an was using vines to directly penetrate the brain of the mutated black scorpion to extract its crystal core.
When she saw Shen Nanxing approaching, she tilted her head in confusion.
"I'll keep an eye out for you, just in case any scorpions that aren't quite dead yet launch a sneak attack."
Shen Nanxing had a very good reason for going south.
But Jiang Nian'an laughed when she heard this.
"Brother Chen, these mutated black scorpions were killed by your lightning energy. Don't you believe in your own strength?"
Shen Nanxing turned his head to look at her, his voice deep, "I believe in my abilities, but I'm afraid there might be unexpected events."
Jiang Nian'an raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Brother Chen, what you said is so contradictory~"
I believe it, but I'm afraid something unexpected might happen...
So, does this mean believing or not believing?
Shen Nanxing chuckled softly, but did not offer any explanation.
Five minutes later, Jiang Nian'an stored all the crystal cores in the mutated black scorpion's brain into her spatial storage.
