The moment Yan Zi raised her head, her eyes were filled with anger and composure.
The Bloodthirsty Sand Vine mocked wildly, but Yan Zi still stared at it intently, having lost even the strength to react!
"Humans are so fragile, prepare for your death!"
It unleashed its most powerful attack, devouring the creatures still breathing on the ground, growing the energy ball larger and larger, while Yan Zi remained in a daze.
The very next moment it launched its attack.
A small thing suddenly stuck to its crown.
The Bloodthirsty Vine paused for a moment, but it didn't seem to care. Yan Zi immediately looked up at the figure not far away.
He then smiled...
"...Even on the verge of death, you want to leave a smile? Tsk! How disgusting!"
It unleashed its skill towards Yan Zi, but at the very moment it was thrown out, the force suddenly malfunctioned...
"Um?"
Before it could figure out where that strange feeling of weightlessness came from, its body suddenly shrank several times over...
"not good!"
Its eyes were fixed on the human who was still on the ground staring at it, its heart filled with resentment, but it had already lost the ability to speak.
Yan Zi smiled and treated Ci Gua's body, which restored his breathing to a steady state, but he was still not fully awake.
She raised the Blood-Weeping Blade once more, her eyes fixed on its crystal core, and thrust it in forcefully, followed by a frenzied slashing attack.
A-Jiao also launched a fierce attack on its root system, cutting off all the roots that were originally running around in all directions, leaving only the core still standing, but it was also pierced through by her knife in the next second.
"Uh..."
The Sand-Dried Bloodthirsty Vine crashed to the ground, instantly exploding into a huge green treasure chest and a bright green crystal core.
Yan Zi went over and picked up both items, then put the crystal core into the prickly melon's mouth.
In an instant, golden light emanated from the prickly gourd!
The bottleneck that had been blocking it suddenly erupted in an instant, spreading outwards, and its body returned to normal in an instant, continuing to expand outwards.
【Contract Beast: Cactus (Prickly Gourd)】
[Rank: D (Upgradeable)]
Experience: 0/
[Description: This is a highly adaptable cactus. Its spines can be freely arranged to contain paralyzing, stunning, or healing effects; a single thorn pierces to the bone, causing tears to flow like cold light.]
Special Skill: 1 - Able to probe healing capabilities within a certain range, making it a good choice for crowd control, damage output, and healing.
2. Its thorns can kill bacteria to some extent, relieve pain, and provide a 20% damage reduction.
3. Tearing off a piece of cactus flesh can temporarily heal all injuries, lasting for three minutes.
The prickly gourd has leveled up and is now slowly waking up. All it can see is its master's caring gaze!
It shrunk back to its original size.
"Master, I have advanced."
Yan Zi smiled and nodded, then patted its head and placed it on her shoulder.
"Next time you need to withstand this kind of damage, remember to tell me, and I'll put some shields on you!"
The prickly gourd's body stiffened instantly. It had thought its body could withstand the attack, but the difference in levels proved too great; it couldn't stop it at all...
The little cactus wilted instantly!
It also realized that it had acted impulsively.
Yan Zi sighed softly, stroked its head, and explained gently, "I'm not blaming you for protecting me, but you also need to be careful. What would I do if you sacrificed yourself before I could react?"
The little chick nodded like it was pecking at rice, then obediently squatted back on her shoulder.
After A-jiao finished dealing with the battlefield, he took all the remaining survivors aside.
Yan Zi changed into a new set of clothes, covering herself completely, before walking towards the group of people.
As soon as she got close, she was noticed by those people. They stared at her warily, some with relief and some with hostility.
Before Yan Zi could figure out how to ask, one of the middle-aged women came out. She had a penetrating wound in her shoulder that was bleeding profusely, but her mental state had improved a lot.
She strode towards her and stopped when she was about two meters away.
Yan Zi was a little surprised that she didn't ask for help directly, but instead maintained a safe distance, which made her feel a bit better about her.
The middle-aged woman asked cautiously, "Young lady, are you here to rescue us, or are you just passing by?"
Yan Zi: "Just passing by."
The middle-aged woman paused for a moment, then asked, "Young lady, where is safe around here? Could you give me directions?"
Yan Zi shook her head. "It's not safe here now, and sand dunes could collapse at any time. It's impossible to predict. The best thing to do is to keep moving around, so we can escape if necessary!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman felt a chill in her heart. She glanced back at the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people behind her, and felt even more hopeless.
"Miss, could you please show us around?"
Yan Zi refused without hesitation!
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman swayed. Already suffering from excessive blood loss, her face turned deathly pale.
Yan Zi felt helpless seeing how old she was. She mentally prepared herself and then threw dozens of bottles of healing potions in front of them.
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
Especially after seeing the effects of the medicine, they didn't know how to refuse it.
"Miss...I..."
Yan Zi waved her hand, and after hesitating for a while, the group thanked her and drank the wine in one gulp.
As soon as the healing potion entered their mouths, their wounds visibly healed. Although the severely injured were still unable to move, they had recovered dozens of units of health.
Some of them are capable of treatment, and we have already begun actively treating them.
Yan Zi glanced at their group and realized that it was actually an activity for senior citizens, with the youngest being 35 years old.
Several people who had regained their normal mobility also came over and expressed their gratitude.
Their manners and behavior were excellent. Yan Zi was amazed by their demeanor and then asked them if they had received any treasure chests.
When she asked, it turned out they really hadn't claimed it yet. With her help, they actually claimed quite a few resources!
Surprisingly, they actually brought a total of ten SUVs...
Even diesel fuel starts at several thousand liters!
Yan Zi watched from the sidelines, marveling at how lucky these people were.
With this equipment, they might be able to survive this minor disaster.
The middle-aged woman at the head of the group handed one of the cars to her.
"Young lady, here, take this car. It will make your journey easier. Consider it our reward to you, and thank you."
As soon as Yan Zi said her refusal, the people who had been listening in the back gestured for her to put it away.
Yan Zi sighed helplessly. She really didn't need the car anymore, but she could consider doubling the price of diesel fuel.
She hesitated before asking, "I already have a car, but I don't know if your diesel fuel is compatible with mine. Could you show me your diesel fuel?"
The middle-aged woman paused for a moment, then nodded.
He pulled her straight into a car.
