Chapter 250: Walk Over (Second Update)
The sparrows fell from the sky, burning, but there were more sparrows left. They seemed to be enraged, and rushed towards Fang Yuxin in a dense crowd. But at this moment, the red and pink branches suddenly stretched again, quickly intertwined into a large net, blocking Fang Yuxin.
The sparrows hit the net, some were lucky enough to slip through the gaps that didn't close in time, and many were pierced by the thorns. At this time, Hongfen stretched out her tender branches and tightly wrapped the pierced sparrows. The thorns on the tender branches were relatively soft, but they still pierced into the sparrows' bodies without mercy.
Immediately afterwards, a flower bud suddenly grew on the branch. The bud opened rapidly, and the stamen shyly stretched out from the petals. Then, it opened its mouth without any hesitation and bit the sparrow tightly, continuously absorbing its blood and flesh.
But soon, more sparrows rushed down. Instead of rescuing their companions, they opened their sharp beaks and claws and ferociously devoured their unfortunate companions.
With Hongfen blocking her, Fang Yuxin made another move, preparing for a new "Sparks Spreading Across the Prairie". At this moment, Lan Ruo on her wrist suddenly turned into a white light, releasing her original body and clones to protect Fang Yuxin. Once a sparrow approaches, it will rush forward without hesitation!
Lanruo's body is harder than Hongfen's, but it can't keep growing new branches like Hongfen. Sparrows are always too small for Lanruo's huge body, so they can only be caught by the flower buds at the top.
After a while, Fang Yuxin's spell was completed, and countless fireballs flew out, heading directly for the sparrow in midair. Seeing the sparrow being hit by the fireballs and falling down like dumplings, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then subconsciously looked at Bai Ye.
When she looked at him, she found that there was a thick layer of sparrow corpses around Bai Ye. No sparrow dared to approach him, so Bai Ye could only use his sword energy to attack the sparrows in the air.
At this time, the number of sparrows in the sky was less than one-third of the original number, and some of them were greedily pecking at the corpses of their own kind. Some of the unlucky ones were accidentally pierced by the red powder while eating.
Soon, the sparrows in the sky began to get scared. They stopped attacking and circled in the sky for a while before turning around and flying away. As they flew away, the sparrows that were pecking at their dead bodies also fluttered their wings and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Bai Ye suddenly released a huge electric net from his hand, which directly covered the sparrows that were about to leave.
The "crackling" sound continued, and the sparrows inside were instantly electrocuted into charcoal. In the end, less than a quarter of the original number of sparrows managed to escape.
As soon as the sparrows left, Hongfen's body began to move again. The trapped sparrows shrank into palm-sized mummies, and with a poke of the spikes, the crystal cores in the corpses fell out and piled up on the ground.
After absorbing the sparrow, Hongfen and Lanruo immediately shrank their bodies, transformed into spiritual light and returned to Fang Yuxin's wrist, trying to please her affectionately with their thoughts.
Fang Yuxin thought of how they had just helped, smiled slightly, and sent each of them a stream of pure wood energy. The two of them were immediately very happy, and became more intimate with Fang Yuxin.
Fang Yuxin reached out and grabbed all the crystal cores on the ground. The body of the sparrow was too small, and the crystal cores produced were several times smaller than those of the zombies. Fang Yuxin did not despise them, and collected all the crystal cores to purify them. At the same time, he said to Bai Ye: "I will keep these crystal cores for now, and give them to you after they are purified."
Bai Ye had no objection and said calmly, "Just keep it."
Fang Yuxin condensed a ball of fire to burn all the remaining sparrow corpses, and the two of them set off again.
They soon came to an intersection, and it wouldn't take long for them to get back to the highway. However, the intersection in front of them was already cut off diagonally in the middle.
The crack here is not as wide as the one they encountered before, but it is also about two hundred meters wide. Fang Yuxin frowned and looked at the crack. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said to Bai Ye: "Let's find a way to get through here!"
The road was cut off here, and if they took another detour, they would have to take a longer route, which would be a waste of time.
Bai Ye glanced at the other side of the crack and did not object. He just asked, "What do you have in mind?" It would be fine if they could use a gun or crossbow to shoot the rope to the other side, but where could they find these things now?
Fang Yuxin thought for a while and said, "I'll let Hongfen try it! Let's see if it can extend to the other side." After that, she started communicating with Hongfen.
Bai Ye did not stop her and waited quietly.
Fang Yuxin quickly communicated with Hongfen and excitedly said to Bai Ye: "Hongfen said it's okay." In fact, this width was a bit too much for Hongfen, but she didn't want to disappoint Fang Yuxin, so she decided to take a risk and give it a try.
The red powder fell off Lan Ruo's body, fell on the ground, and took deep root. Then, it stretched out a branch and continued to extend to the opposite side.
Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye looked at the branch nervously. It was moving very fast, extending dozens of meters in a blink of an eye, then hundreds of meters. Then, it slowed down, and every ten meters it extended seemed very difficult.
Seeing this, Fang Yuxin simply held a branch of Hongfen and continuously transferred the pure wood energy to it. With the nourishment of this pure wood energy, the speed of the branch suddenly increased and soon extended to the other side.
It first searched along the branches, then extended to a tree opposite and wrapped around the trunk several times.
Seeing this, Fang Yuxin finally let out the breath he had been holding, and excitedly wanted to go over immediately. Bai Ye looked at the branch that was less than the thickness of a thumb, his face changed with fear, and he quickly pulled Fang Yuxin back: "Wait a minute!"
Fang Yuxin looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Bai Ye pointed at the branch and said in a deep voice: "This branch is too thin. It's too dangerous to go over like this." Fang Yuxin frowned when he heard this and continued to communicate with Hongfen, asking it if it could think of a way to make the branch thicker.
Hongfen responded quickly by extending more branches toward the other side, and finally interweaving them into a long bridge that could accommodate one person. On both sides of the long bridge, branches and leaves were woven into guardrails to prevent people from falling off.
However, in order to create such a long bridge, Fang Yuxin gave almost 90% of his wood energy to Hongfen, and his face was so pale that it was almost transparent.
Bai Ye looked at her like this with a very ugly expression. He looked at Fang Yuxin worriedly and said in a tough tone: "I'll take you away." After he said that, he ignored Fang Yuxin's objection and took her onto the bridge.
The bridge was not wide enough to accommodate only one person, so the two of them could not walk side by side, and could only walk one in front and one behind. Bai Ye walked in front, holding Fang Yuxin's wrist tightly without hurting her.
Worried about the situation, the two walked very fast. It took less than a minute to cover the distance of 200 meters. After reaching the other side, they both breathed a sigh of relief, and then Fang Yuxin touched the red and pink flower bud, indicating that it could come over.
At her signal, Hongfen immediately pulled the root out of the ground, shot it towards the opposite side like lightning, and finally turned into a tiny dot and returned to Fang Yuxin.
It tiredly expressed to Fang Yuxin that it wanted to "sleep" and fell into a deep sleep. Fang Yuxin looked at its body, which had become somewhat dim, and knew that it was reluctant this time.
Although Hongfen is a mutant plant, it is impossible for it to stretch its body indefinitely, after all, it is still restricted by its level. However, although it barely managed this time, it obtained a large amount of pure wood energy. It only used a small part of this wood energy, and the rest sank into its body. As long as it completely absorbed it, it would be able to successfully advance.
The reason why it fell into a deep sleep this time was, firstly, that the excessive extension just now had shaken its foundation and it needed to repair its body, and secondly, it wanted to completely absorb the pure wood energy and advance to the third level.
Fang Yuxin thought about it, and sent the red powder into the spiritual field of Qingmu Lingfu to let it grow well inside. Then, she said to Bai Ye: "Let's go!"
Bai Ye frowned in disapproval, pulled her and said, "You just consumed too much energy, you must recover first." This place is still a long way from the hotel, and anything can happen on the road, just like the attack from the mutant sparrows they just encountered. If Fang Yuxin has not recovered her strength, it will be too dangerous to go on the road like this!
Bai Ye was extremely persistent. Although Fang Yuxin was extremely anxious, he had no choice but to take Bai Ye back to the main hall of Qingmu Lingfu and take out the crystal core to absorb it.
Bai Ye was relieved to see her recovering from meditation, and he also took out the crystal core and began to absorb it. Although his consumption was not as great as Fang Yuxin's, he had time now, and he didn't know what kind of situation he would encounter on the road ahead, so Bai Ye naturally had to adjust his condition to the best.
This time they were simply replenishing their spiritual energy, not practicing meditation, so it didn't take too long. After about an hour, both of them recovered to their full state and left Qingmu Lingfu together.
The place where they were at this moment should have been a three-way intersection, but when the ground cracked, most of the road surface shattered and fell into the crack, and in the end only a narrow edge was left.
The place where they were standing at the moment was a farmland, which was also covered with cracks. The two of them could not ride a bike for the time being and could only walk.
After walking for a while, they finally got onto the highway, but the road conditions were still bad, with large and small cracks on the road surface at regular intervals.
Fang Yuxin did not try to be brave this time. He just took out a motorcycle, and the two of them set off again.
