Tu Ran threw the laser gun to Xi Chunzhi, "You stay up there, I'll go down with Huo."

The underground is narrow and is the nest of these vines. There are many uncertainties and great dangers. She has more supernatural powers than Xi Chunzhi, so the probability of her returning safely is greater.

Before Xi Chunzhi wanted to say something, Tu Ran had already taken out all the remaining laser guns in the space and placed them in her hands. There were four laser guns in total, and all of them were full of energy, enough to last for a while.

Huo watched Tu Ran take out a laser gun from somewhere and looked around Tu Ran with curiosity.

"I'll leave it to you," Tu Ran patted Xi Chunzhi's shoulder and said seriously, "Our lives are in your hands."

Xi Chunzhi no longer refused and lowered her head to adjust the laser gun. "This is my first time using a laser gun. Little vines, try my shooting skills."

Although it was her first time using a laser gun, she was very skilled in her series of movements. A beam of laser fired from the muzzle and cut off a large number of vines.

Tu Ran, who originally wanted to teach her:...Well, you are indeed a sharpshooter.

She retracted her gaze and held Huo's hand, "Let's go."

Huo nodded and focused on his feet.

Tu Ran's feet suddenly felt empty, and she and the fire disappeared on the ground.

Xi Chunzhi stayed at the place where they left, holding the laser gun and scanning in a rotating manner, indiscriminately dividing all objects on the ground, including the Xie family bodyguards who were attracted by the movement here and rushed over.

They were all cut in half.

A death zone formed with Xi Chunzhi as the center. Bright red blood and the green juice of the vines mixed together. Human corpses and the smooth bodies of the vines lay on the ground together. They had not adapted to the sudden death and were still twitching even after falling to the ground.

The entire ground seemed to be covered with a layer of wriggling maggots. Xi Chunzhi endured the nausea and continued shooting.

Tu Ran and Huo burrowed into the ground and moved quickly towards the roots. At first they were not attacked, but the closer they got to the roots, the more the vines sensed their presence and began to attack them fiercely.

A vine emerged from the soil in front of him. It was almost as thick as an adult's waist, and the tip was covered with a layer of fluff. It looked soft, but when Tu Ran hugged it, her hands suddenly felt numb and tingling.

Each hair is as sharp as a steel needle.

Tu Ran gritted her teeth and held the head of the vine with both hands to prevent it from moving any further, with her palms pressed against its surface.

"The mountains collapsed and the earth split!"

The cracks, as wide as a little finger, spread rapidly. The exposed head of the vine was decomposed, and the part that had not emerged from the soil was also rapidly splitting. The cracks reached the root knot, destroying all the roots to which the vine belonged.

One root differentiates into many vines. If the root dies, the vines above will lose their nutrient supply and will die immediately.

Xi Chunzhi on the ground quickly noticed that some vines were no longer growing after being killed by the laser beam. The remaining parts gradually turned from emerald green to dark green, then yellow, and finally black and withered.

Xi Chunzhi probably guessed that Tu Ran and Huo below had encountered the vines in advance, so she focused more on killing the vines on the ground.

Underground, after killing a vine, Huo took Tu Ran away quickly. After walking for a distance, they encountered a second vine.

This vine came from the side and rushed towards the fire the moment it broke through the ground, as if it knew that fire was the most dangerous factor.

Indeed, after killing Huo, no matter how powerful Tu Ran was, he would not be able to move forward.

"You are quite smart." Tu Ran sneered and hugged the vine tightly. She didn't care about the pain in her palm.

The vines were forced to stop their movement towards the fire.

It twisted its body wildly, trying to break free from Tu Ran's restraints, and kept deforming its top, trying to get closer to the fire.

As long as the spike on its top pierces the human body, the victim will suffer a brief nerve paralysis, which may cause the movements and reactions to become slower at the mildest, or even lead to coma.

Huo looked at the twisted green creature in front of him and took a step back to distance himself from it.

Teng Man wanted to chase after him, but Tu Ran grabbed his neck and turned him back.

"Is my presence so low?" Although she knew that the creature in front of her couldn't understand, Tu Ran still said coldly, "If you want to stretch your neck so long, I will satisfy you."

As she finished speaking, she pulled hard, and the entire body of the vine was forced to extend forward.

Because the vine grows very fast and has elasticity, the little length that Tu Ran pulled was quickly made up and it was not torn apart as Tu Ran expected.

Tu Ran didn't believe it. She freed one hand to hold the fire and said, "Let's keep going."

Huo looked at the green vine that was clamped in Tu Ran's armpit, then looked up at Tu Ran's determined eyes and understood what Tu Ran meant.

For a moment, she felt that the vines that were deformed by the clamp were a bit pitiful. She just felt it in her heart, and her body was already moving through the soil according to Tu Ran's instructions.

No matter how elastic the vine is, it cannot withstand being pulled at such a fast speed. It is like a helpless rubber band, and after reaching its limit, it breaks with a snap.

The head that was clamped by Tu Ran drooped limply, and the rest of the body dragged on the ground, rubbing against the ground.

Huo, who was digging a hole in front, heard the friction sound of the ground and imagined how tragic it was. She didn't even dare to look back at Tu Ran.

She couldn't help but think of the rumors she had heard about Tu Ran before.

"There are many ways to kill people, but I like to kill people with cruelty the most..."

"Why are your hands suddenly so cold?" Tu Ran's voice rang out in the narrow space.

"Ah? It's okay, just a little cold." Huo said quickly, shaking off the thoughts in his mind and concentrating on moving Tu Ran forward.

Every time they moved forward a certain distance, a vine would appear to block their way. Tu Ran quickly dealt with it, and the two of them immediately moved forward. When they were about to reach the last twenty meters where the vine roots were tied together, the walking became particularly difficult.

The vines had clearly sensed the approaching danger and rushed towards the two men, filling the narrow space with vines.

They surged and rolled, soil fell from the top of the passage, and the passage showed signs of collapsing.

Tu Ran took out a scimitar from the space, moved forward with his left hand pulled by the fire, and waved the scimitar with his right hand to cut off the approaching vines one by one.

The narrow space was filled with the smell of green juice flowing out from broken vines.

The fire abandons the path that goes directly to the root knot, and the most vines are guarding this path.

She then began to move like a snake, avoiding the areas where the vines were densest and weaving in and out between each vine.

She had X-ray vision, so it was not difficult for her to see the location of the vines in the soil in advance.

They move flexibly in the soil, sometimes close and sometimes far away from the root system, but the general trend is to get close.

The vines that had been chasing them were in a miserable state. They were intertwined in the extensive tunnels. Sometimes two vines with different root systems collided with each other, refusing to give way to each other and tightly entangled each other, preventing anyone from moving forward.

If there is someone on the ground with perspective, looking underground at this time, he will see a three-dimensional dense network made up of vines.

Tu Ran and Huo shuttled through this web and continued to weave it tighter.

"We're here." Huo stared at a wall in front of her. She could clearly see the other side of the wall.

The roots were tangled into a knot.

They grow rapidly, slide against each other, tighten, and sometimes relax and expand, like a beating heart, but they are not made of flesh and blood. Instead, they are made up of densely packed green worms.

Tu Ran pulled her behind him and faced the wall with his hands against it.

"Get ready." Tu Ran lowered his voice.

The moment the words fell, the thin wall collapsed, and the scene inside was revealed to Tu Ran.

Even though Tu Ran was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by the scene before her.

"Disgusting mollusk!"

Veins on Tu Ran's forehead were exposed. She opened her arms and brought them together towards the center. Her powerful mental power condensed into an invisible big hand, which wrapped the wriggling root system in front of her.

"Annihilation!"

The fast-growing vines now felt pressure coming from all sides, threatening to tear them apart.

They were powerless to resist and allowed this force to separate every cell in their bodies. In an instant, they were transformed from a whole into countless individual cells, as if crushed by an invisible hand and dissolved in the cramped space.

Huo witnessed with his own eyes a large mass of roots being reduced to powder in an instant, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Her eyes fell on Tu Ran's back, and she couldn't help but take a step back.

This...how is this possible?

This power is too terrifying.

On the ground, Xi Chunzhi was about to wipe out the whole group again when he saw all the vines stop attacking, shrink quickly, and fall from mid-air.

They succeeded! (End of this chapter)
