Chapter 620: Phoenix Fire Mercenary Group
The red nematodes can completely blend into the environment in this blood-colored mist. They are small in size and their wings flap silently, making them difficult to detect.
Rong Xianxian removed the invisibility barrier, stepped on the flying carpet, and flew towards the nine-branched blood-stained tree.
When Rong Xianxian approached the tree, she suddenly found that the disgusting smell of blood that had been lingering in her nose had disappeared, and was replaced by a strong and rich aroma. The aroma was invigorating, invigorating the blood circulation, and making people feel refreshed.
Rong Xianxian flew around the dead blood tree and looked it up and down. She knew that the root of the tree was a nest of insects. Now that she hadn't found the target of the mission, she should not move lightly. However, the branch on the top was thin and short, and it looked like it was newly grown. There shouldn't be any problem taking a branch. Thinking of this, Rong Xianxian swung the Soul-Devouring Sword, and with a flick of her hand, she cut off the ninth branch of the Nine-Forked Dead Blood Tree and casually stuffed it into the space in the sachet.
"Buzz", Rong Xianxian suddenly heard a buzzing sound in her ears. She knew it was the sound made by thousands of blood nematodes flapping their wings together.
She looked down and saw a red cloud coming towards Rong Xianxian, surrounding her tightly. The protective suit she was wearing made a creaking sound as it was torn by insects. The sound was like silkworms eating mulberry leaves or mice gnawing on door panels. Rong Xianxian activated the Ice Soul Pearl to release the power of ice, and the red cloud of insects around her body was frozen in the blue ice layer. She wanted to put these frozen red nematodes into the storage space, but she couldn't put them in at all. It seemed that these red nematodes had not yet lost their vitality. Although the foggy space could accommodate life, the child and Ning Qingyun were now in it, and Rong Xianxian would definitely not put these dangerous things in.
The frozen red nematodes were struggling and colliding in the ice, which consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Moreover, the sea of worms was boundless and kept flying out of the blood mist swamp. Rong Xianxian felt the spiritual energy in her body being drastically consumed, and immediately decided to leave first.
After Rong Xianxian ran several hundred meters, the cloud of insects behind her disappeared. She breathed a sigh of relief, flashed into the foggy space, said hello to the children, changed into new protective clothing, replenished her spiritual energy, and then left the foggy space.
Time was urgent, so this time she decided to concentrate on finding the mission target, complete the mission quickly, and leave here as soon as possible.
As she walked along, she found that the dead blood trees on the outer layer were dry, short, and dense. The further she went inside, the taller and larger the dead blood trees were. At the place where she just stopped, there was a clear dividing line in the ground environment. The soil was loose and sticky toward the inside of this line, and relatively solid toward the outside.
At this moment, she carefully observed the distribution pattern of trees on both sides of the dividing line, and was basically able to determine that one side was the original range of the dead forest, and the other side was the dead forest area formed after the crazy expansion of the dead blood tree.
According to intelligence provided by the military, the trapped people were collecting soil samples outside the dead forest. As the dead blood trees expanded, they should escape outside. As long as they searched along this line, they should find something.
Rong Xianxian turned on the monitoring headphones and walked along the dividing line. After walking a few hundred meters, she heard a groaning sound from the northwest. Rong Xianxian followed the sound and found an open space of about 40 to 50 square meters. There were more than a dozen people in protective clothing lying on the ground. The groaning sound came from one of them.
Rong Xianxian took a closer look and found that the open space was filled with a huge stone with no dirt on the surface. She didn't know whether the stone existed originally or was brought in by the people in front of her.
Rong Xianxian's arrival attracted the attention of these people. One of them kicked his companion next to him and struggled to sit up.
"There are so many bugs outside, how did you get in?" No one could see each other clearly because of the protective clothing, and even the voices were buzzing because of the protective helmet.
"Walked in!" Rong Xianxian answered casually.
Now that we have found the people, how do we get them out? The periphery is tightly guarded by the army, and there are eyes everywhere. If we feed them medicine like we did in Gushizhai and use the foggy space to get them out, I am afraid the secret of the foggy space will be revealed. The ground of the newly grown dead forest is littered with fallen dry trees, lying in all directions, and there are blood fog swamps under the dead blood trees. In this road environment, vehicles cannot pass at all.
It seems that the only way to take them out is to use a flying carpet, Rong Xianxian was secretly calculating in her mind.
Rong Xianxian had just made up her mind when she saw the protective suit of the man who had just groaned suddenly burst with a "bang", and dozens of brown tree roots as thin as hair stretched out and crawled towards the man next to him like lightning.
The one next to him climbed up after hearing the explosion, and crawled backwards with an "Ah!". Perhaps he was too scared of these tree roots, and he retreated very quickly. In the blink of an eye he was at the edge of the boulder. Seeing that he was about to fall, Rong Xianxian fired thousands of threads to pull him back, and at the same time cast an ice spell to freeze the brown tree roots in the ice.
"Gu Yi, Gu Yi, how are you?" The man who had just asked how Rong Xianxian came here asked the man whose protective suit exploded and tree roots grew out of his body.
Gu Yi's eyes opened wide, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and his mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something. The teammate who asked saw that the tree roots were frozen, and took two tentative steps forward, trying to get closer to see if he could hear clearly.
He had just moved two steps forward when he saw Gu Yi's mouth open with a "bang". A tree root as thick as a finger rushed out of his throat and shot towards him like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of him. He closed his eyes and thought, it's over, his brain will burst soon after being hit by this thing. However, he didn't seem to feel any pain. He tentatively opened his eyes, only to see that the finger-thick tree root was frozen in the ice, and Gu Yi was completely frozen.
"Thank you for saving my life. I am Gu Ming from the Fenghuo Mercenary Group. May I know your name?" Gu Ming saluted with his fists.
"My surname is Rong. May I ask, do you have any researchers here?" Rong Xianxian asked. She had to confirm whether these were the people she was looking for?
"Except for the brothers from our Fenghuo Mercenary Group, the others are experts from the Mutant Plant Research Institute. We brothers are escorting them to collect specimens!" Gu Ming replied enthusiastically.
"Your surname is Rong. Are you Captain Rong of the Flame Mercenary Group and Doctor Rong of Sibao Building?" The man who had just been pulled back by Rong Xianxian stared at Rong Xianxian and asked.
"Yes, it's me!" Rong Xianxian didn't expect that her identity would be guessed by others just by saying her last name.
