He Xie suddenly returned.
Zhang Weidong and Xu Zhide were both surprised.
But soon, Xu Zhide, one of them, let out a ferocious laugh:
"You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, and you barge into the gates of hell but insist on going. Now that you've come back, you'll stay here forever!"
After saying that, he took out dozens of strange seeds from his dimensional bag and scattered them at He Xie.
The purpose was not to throw seeds at He Xie, but to plant seeds around He Xie.
Once these seeds landed, they immediately took root and sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly growing into dozens of strange, demonic plants.
During this time, He Xie did not intervene.
He craves to be devoured by high-energy entities.
These strange, monstrous plants in front of him were his experience points.
As for whether it will backfire, he is not worried at all.
With more lives and a higher margin for error, that's how capricious we are.
"Sizzle—"
"Sizzle—"
"Sizzle—"
Soon, these growing demonic plants quickly blossomed and bore fruit, splitting open a gaping maw.
It's a man-eating flower!
Strangely, these carnivorous plants did not attack He Xie on their own initiative.
Instead, they all opened their mouths wide and aimed at He Xie, their bright red tongues wriggling inside their gaping maws.
"Cough... cough cough!"
Suddenly, Xu Zhide coughed violently.
He's been poisoned!
At this moment, the carnivorous plants in front of him were releasing a colorless and odorless but highly poisonous aura.
Zhang Weidong, standing to the side, cursed under his breath that the man was crazy!
This seed is meant to be used to self-destruct with the enemy, and you just use it like that?
If you miss, then die on your own!
Don't drag me down with you!
Zhang Weidong cursed under his breath, then quickly left the scene, not wanting to stay and fight alongside Xu Zhide, risking mutual losses.
After all, the highly poisonous aura emitted by these demonic plants could easily kill a powerful creature of rare rank.
"Cough... cough cough!"
Xu Zhide accidentally inhaled a little poisonous gas and immediately started coughing violently.
He even coughed up blood.
He could accept killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own, but he would never accept a one-for-one trade between himself and He Xie.
So he quickly moved away from these demonic plants, took out several bottles of medicine from his dimensional bag, and desperately poured them into his mouth.
Conversely, He Xie breathed heavily and freely amidst the highly poisonous fumes, seemingly unaffected.
His poison resistance is too high.
The colorless and odorless poisonous aura around him couldn't break through his defenses at all.
After witnessing Zhang Weidong suddenly run away, and Xu Zhide coughing up blood and then desperately gulping down medicine, they were deeply moved.
He Xie then realized that the demonic plants around him, which looked like man-eating flowers, might be releasing poisonous gas.
Moreover, judging from the severity of Xu Zhide's cough, the toxicity of these gases was not weak.
Thinking of this, He Xie decided to play along and simply rolled his eyes and collapsed.
Add some foaming at the mouth to make it more realistic.
He didn't know if anyone else around was committing adultery.
He planned to fake his death to lure out all the traitors hiding in the shadows, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that, apart from Xu Zhide and Zhang Weidong, all the other traitors had already fled.
One by one, they went to raid the orphanage.
"Ha, young man, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. You dared to run back alone after being attacked. You deserve to die."
Looking at He Xie lying unconscious on the ground, Xu Zhide laughed with a contemptuous expression.
Zhang Weidong, who had been hiding in the distance, returned.
Looking at He Xie on the ground, he sighed, "He died before he could even begin. That's all there is to humanity. Even the top scholar in the city can be nipped in the bud."
After saying that, he patted Xu Zhide on the shoulder, then turned and left.
I'm rushing to the kemonomimi bar to have some fun.
Xu Zhide glanced at his departing figure, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Then, he commanded the demonic plants in front of him, "Stop releasing the poison gas and tie up that person on the ground."
As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic plants immediately stopped releasing poisonous gas and bound He Xie tightly with their vines.
He Xie did not resist and continued fishing.
"You succeeded on your first mission. Well done."
A soft voice of praise drifted from a clump of bushes by the roadside.
It was a woman's voice.
It sounds full of the charm of a young married woman.
"Where's Number 3? Wasn't he with you? Why haven't I seen him?"
The woman emerged from the bushes and asked.
It was that mysterious Elder Chen.
"He just left because of something," Xu Zhide replied expressionlessly.
But upon closer inspection, one can see that his fists are clenched tightly under his clothes, as he tries hard to restrain his urge to attack the woman.
The woman noticed his unusual behavior, but simply smiled and said:
"Alright, leave the rest to me. You may leave now. The specific mission rewards will be delivered to you by tomorrow at the latest."
"......"
Xu Zhide remained silent and motionless.
He wanted to torture He Xie himself and didn't want to leave.
The woman narrowed her eyes and said, "What, is there something else?"
Xu Zhide: "Elder Chen, let me handle He Xie. I have a grudge against him."
The woman laughed, then her face instantly turned cold as she said, "Are you worthy?"
Xu Zhide's face turned completely black.
He clenched his fists, turned around and left without saying a word.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
He is currently being parasitized by a demonic plant seed, and can only unconditionally obey the woman's orders.
Seeing Xu Zhide turn and leave, He Xie could no longer wait.
They didn't catch many fish, and everyone got away.
This is ridiculous!
"Sizzle—"
With a snapping sound, He Xie broke free of the vines binding his body.
Then he quickly drew his Zanpakuto and silently chanted: Bankai!
Then, a flash of light appeared.
The next second, dozens of carnivorous plants on site were instantly cut in half and died.
[Soul +1!] x33.
This scene happened very suddenly and briefly.
Before Xu Zhide and the woman could react, a terrifying biological pressure descended from the sky.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two loud thuds were heard.
Xu Zhide and the woman were instantly pinned to the ground, with most of their bodies buried in the earth.
"This, this is impossible!"
The woman was a rare sixth-tier powerhouse, barely able to make a sound under He Xie's suppression.
At this moment, her face was filled with terror and disbelief.
How could someone as a rare-level powerhouse be suppressed by a college-bound student using biological pressure?
What's going on?
Xu Zhide, who was not far in front of her, was so suppressed that he could not make a sound and could only remain motionless in the ground.
"Tap! Tap! Tap..."
He Xie walked towards the woman, carrying the Soul-Slaying Blade.
In the stillness of the night, each step made a crisp sound as it landed.
The woman was terrified as she listened, and opened her mouth to bite down on a seed hidden between her teeth.
He Xie noticed her little movements, and directly shoved a knife into her mouth, roughly prying open her lips and picking out the seeds inside.
"Cough... cough cough!"
The woman coughed with a pained expression.
The knife He Xietong just used to cut her mouth open, and blood gushed out, choking her.
On the other side, He Xie used his spiritual power to draw the seed from the ground into his hand.
A notification message will pop up shortly afterward.
【Heterogeneous Core】: The core of the Demon Fruit contains the remnant soul of the Tree Demon. When the core is broken, an avatar of the Tree Demon can be summoned.
He Xie glanced at it and then put the seed into his system inventory.
Afterwards, he used a Know Yourself and Your Enemy card to peer into the woman's biometric information panel.
Name: Chen Caiqing
[Race]: Human
[Rank]: Rare Tier 6
[Skill]: Substitution
[Weakness]: Conventional
Chen Caiqing?
He Xie thought for a moment, but had no recollection of it.
Therefore, he is probably not a well-known figure.
But to be fair, it's rare to find a sixth-order one.
Even in Nanjiang Province, someone of this rank would be considered a very important figure.
Why become a traitor?
Perhaps... he only gained his current strength after becoming a traitor?
He Xie stopped thinking about it, placed the Soul-Slaying Blade in front of the woman, and then gently slashed it.
The next second, the fox mask on the woman's face split in two, revealing a beautiful face.
He Xie stared intently, and was immediately stunned.
That's a familiar face!
