The shouts of the three rapists didn't last long, ending abruptly in less than two seconds.
Then, instead, there was a hissing sound of skin tearing.
Countless dark green roots were sprouting from the flesh of the three traitors at a visible speed.
In the very end, it used the bodies of three traitors as soil, growing and expanding extremely rapidly, instantly draining the corpses beneath its roots until only a layer of human skin remained.
In the blink of an eye, it grew into three bizarre plants taller than a person.
The branches and trunks were covered with vines.
The vines were covered with suction ports.
It looks like octopus tentacles, with an extremely Cthulhu-like appearance, making people's sanity drop wildly.
Apart from He Xie, everyone present was so frightened that they took several steps back.
The scene before them was so bizarre that it made them feel physically and mentally uncomfortable.
"He Xie, quickly step back and report this to the Night Watch. Don't stand so close."
Seeing that He Xie was still standing still, Zhao Keying quickly called out to him.
Immediately after shouting, he took out his phone and reported to the night watchman that members of the Divine Plant Cult had broken into the home of He Xie, the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Shanhai City.
"Brother, come over here quickly!" Song Yuxin called out anxiously.
Although her older brother was the top student in the Evolution Science category in Shanhai City this year and was incredibly strong, she was still very worried.
Hearing the sound, He Xie not only did not back away, but walked forward, taking out the Soul-Slaying Blade from his system inventory as he went.
Then, with a thought, he entered Soul Devouring Mode.
In an instant, the entire orphanage shone brightly, becoming a small sun in the harmonious street.
Fortunately, it was fleeting and did not attract much attention from the surrounding residents.
"Don't worry, these three demonic plants are far weaker than me."
He Xie spoke to the people behind him.
He had just used the Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy Card on the three demonic plants in front of him and learned that their biological levels were all below the mutated level and posed no threat.
“Buzz—” x38.
As He Xie approached, the three strange demonic plants suddenly launched an attack.
Dozens of tentacle-like vines shot out instantly, aiming straight for his vital organs.
"careful!"
Liu Yan shouted anxiously from behind.
Faced with the attacking vines, He Xie did not strike to kill them instantly.
Instead, he nimbly dodged while observing the attack methods of the three demonic plants.
This is to increase one's knowledge of evolutionary theory.
"Hiss—" x839.
Suddenly, a large amount of unidentified liquid gushed out from the holes in the vines.
It was dark purple and emitted a foul stench.
It looks like Venom.
He Xie didn't dodge at all; he simply released his qi and blood to deflect the venom.
"Tap! Tap! Tap..."
The blocked venom all fell to the ground.
Then a buzzing sound followed.
The soil beneath our feet was corroded and began to smoke, turning charred black in an instant.
“Buzz—” 38.
Dozens of vines attacked again.
The twisted tree spirit, the three-legged golden crow on the tree, and the water spirit in the lotus pond all wanted to help, but He Xie stopped them.
It wasn't that he couldn't handle these three strange, demonic plants; he just wanted to observe them a little longer.
Half a minute later.
Seeing that the three demonic plants were repeating the same attack pattern and were no longer worth observing, He Xie raised his hand and slashed, instantly shattering their souls.
[Soul +3!]
"Clatter!" x3.
The three demonic plants, having lost their souls, collapsed instantly, utterly devoid of life.
Instead of devouring the demonic plants, He Xie had the twisted tree spirit use its vines to move them, along with the people and the grass, outside the courtyard.
He had heard Zhao Keying's report and knew the Night Watch would be there soon.
But he didn't want the night watchmen to come into the house, so he had no choice but to move all the people involved outside.
A few minutes later, the night watchmen arrived.
Led by Li Qingteng, the leader of the Night Watchmen of Shanhai City, a team of more than ten people was dispatched.
He Xie was somewhat surprised to see this, but quickly realized it made perfect sense.
After all, this case involves too many important things.
He's a traitor, a member of the Divine Plant Cult, and the top student in the Evolution Science Department of Shanhai City.
This is something that's hard not to take seriously.
"Minister Li."
When Li Qingteng walked over, He Xie greeted him respectfully and without the slightest humility.
Li Qingteng smiled in response and said, "Hey, we meet again."
The two had exchanged ideas during the college admissions process after the college entrance examination, so they could be considered acquaintances.
After exchanging greetings, Li Qingteng got straight to the point, asking He Xie to describe the specific situation to him.
He Xie made up a little story, saying that the three people broke into the house, and he discovered them, chased them all the way out, caught them, and gave them a beating.
After subduing the three men, he began questioning them and learned that they were members of the Divine Plant Cult and had come to hunt him down, the top scholar.
Then, roots and shoots grew from the bodies of the three people and quickly grew into demonic plants.
In the end, he was killed by himself, who was the top scholar in the imperial examination.
After hearing this, Li Qingteng frowned slightly and muttered, "The Divine Plant Cult, huh?"
He Xie: "Minister Li, what kind of entity is the Divine Plant Cult?"
Li Qingteng: "It is a demon plant organization led by an epic-level tree demon. The attacks on most of the human geniuses in Shanhai City were basically carried out by this organization."
He Xie: "I see."
Soon, the three traitors with demonic plants growing on their bodies were lifted into the cart and loaded by the Night Watchmen.
We need to take it back for research and investigation.
However, he didn't take it for free; Li Qingteng said he would provide corresponding monetary compensation based on market value.
He Xie naturally had no objections.
The reason he didn't devour those three demonic plants was so that the Night Watchmen could take them back for investigation.
After all, this plant cult was seriously endangering his and his family's personal safety and had to be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be dire.
"By the way, the provincial Night Watch headquarters will be holding a summer training camp next week, which is only open to evolutionary science students who have reached the advanced level in biology this year."
"The rewards are very generous, including all kinds of elixirs and exotic fruits."
"If you perform well and catch the eye of the headquarters, you will have the opportunity to become the successor to the head of the city-level Night Watchmen branch."
As he spoke, Li Qingteng patted He Xie on the shoulder and smiled, saying, "He Xie, I have high hopes for you. Remember to participate in this training camp."
After saying this, Li Qingteng got into the car and left.
Watching the car drive away, He Xie realized something.
No wonder the Night Watchmen didn't make any moves during the admissions process, unlike in previous years when they directly competed with universities for students.
It turns out there's another training camp behind the scenes, where they can snatch food from the jaws of the tiger at Evolution University.
That's really domineering.
......
After tidying up the yard, everyone went back inside.
Lin Xiaoxiao followed them inside.
As soon as she entered, she complained to Zhao Keying like a little girlfriend, "Keying, your house is so big and beautiful. I've known you for so long, and you never even brought me here. That's so unfair."
Zhao Keying smiled wryly and said, "You never mentioned coming before."
"If I don't mention it, won't you invite me over?"
As she spoke, Lin Xiaoxiao added, "No, I won't go back tonight. I want to stay at your house for one night to make up for the time I missed before."
Zhao Keying had no say in the matter, so she looked at Liu Yan beside her and asked, "Aunt Liu, my best friend wants to stay at home for one night."
"Just one day? I'd stay a week!"
Liu Yan smiled warmly and said that she felt very sorry for Zhao Keying, who had suffered so much these past two years, and that she would agree to any reasonable request.
After receiving consent, Zhao Keying was very happy and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao beside her, saying, "Come on, I'll go and prepare an empty room for you to sleep in tonight."
"No need to pack, I can just sleep in your room tonight."
After saying that, Lin Xiaoxiao continued, "We're best friends, you wouldn't mind sharing a bed with me, would you?"
Before Zhao Keying could respond, He Xie chuckled and said, "Hey, my sister will definitely mind, but I don't. Why don't you come sleep in my room tonight?"
“My room is big, my bed is big, and the rest of the room is big.”
At this point, He Xiechao and Lin Xiaoxiao raised their eyebrows, thinking, "You're such a rascal."
"Ha, wishful thinking."
Zhao Keying rolled her eyes at him and pulled Lin Xiaoxiao away.
She was very worried because her younger brother was becoming more and more improper and more and more like a pervert.
It's really annoying.
[The contrast value from Zhao Keying is +9278.]
After Zhao Keying left, Song Yuxin immediately took over her spot on the sofa, moving as close to He Xie as possible.
Because her brother smells so good, it makes the younger sister feel very at ease.
He Xie looked at Song Yuxin, who was almost pressed against him, and said speechlessly, "Little sister, why are you standing so close?"
Song Yuxin: "The viewing angle here is better, and it's less harmful to the eyes."
He Xie: "But the TV isn't on."
Song Yuxin: "!"
!
Wrong excuse? Time to slip away!
Song Yuxin got up from the sofa, blushed, and ran into her room.
In the blink of an eye, only Liu Yan and He Xie, a lone man and woman, remained in the large living room.
As for Su Jiu'er, she was still cleaning up the scene in the courtyard outside, looking quite miserable.
"Aunt Liu, are you still feeling dizzy?"
He Xie sat down next to Liu Yan with a smile and asked.
While looking at her phone, Liu Yan said in a flat voice, "It's alright."
Ha, how arrogant.
While mentally complaining, He Xie glanced curiously at his adoptive mother's phone screen.
It turned out that the foster mother was reading a novel?
And it's a male-oriented novel?
This is not a typical young woman.
Thinking it over, he added, "Aunt Liu, I specially caught a nine-tailed fox to help you with the housework. Aren't I very filial?"
"Ha, that's easy for you to say. You just wanted someone because she's pretty, so you brought her back to be your bed warmer, didn't you?"
Liu Yan saw right through it.
He Xie chuckled awkwardly, then revealed his true intentions: "Aunt Liu, let me give you a massage."
"Press it."
As Liu Yan spoke, she put down her phone, lay flat on the sofa, and gave her body to He Xie without reservation.
He Xie's massage technique was superb, and she enjoyed it and craved it.
Soon, He Xie began the massage.
He Xie: "Aunt Liu, your calves look much slimmer, and you look even sexier."
Liu Yan: "My calves aren't sore, so please stop pressing there."
He Xie: "Aunt Liu, where are you feeling sour?"
Liu Yan: "My thighs are a little sore, could you massage them for me?"
He Xie: "Received!"
......
The massage ended half an hour later.
Liu Yan got up from the sofa with a comfortable expression and stretched her body, showing off her graceful figure, which looked very alluring.
"It's late, go to sleep early."
After saying that, Liu Yan walked seductively towards the room in front.
He Xie silently admired her back view for a moment, then left the living room and went to the courtyard outside.
After the recent midnight attack by rapists, he felt it was necessary to strengthen the orphanage's security capabilities to defend against potential future attacks.
Arriving beside Su Jiu'er, who was sitting on the ground slacking off and bickering with Yingyingcao, He Xie instructed her:
"Jiu'er, from now on, you will be responsible for picking up and dropping off your younger sisters at school. Also, when Aunt Liu goes out to buy groceries, you will accompany her and protect her."
"I understand, Master."
Su Jiu'er had no objections and readily agreed.
But in reality, he only agreed on the surface. In his heart, he cursed He Xie, saying, "You despicable and shameless scoundrel, you actually dared to treat me like a servant. Once I've succeeded in my quest for revenge, I'll make you pay!"
On the other side, He Xie looked up at the three-legged golden crow on the twisted tree spirit and asked, "Three crows, how can you increase your creature level?"
He felt that the fastest way to improve the security of the orphanage was to enhance the strength of the four "kings" in the orphanage.
That is, the strength of the Twisted Tree Spirit, the Yingying Grass, the Three-Legged Golden Crow, and the Water Spirit.
Because the four of them are the orphanage's first line of defense.
"Master, I can increase my biological level simply by basking in the sun."
The three-legged golden crow on the tree answered.
He Xie was somewhat envious after hearing this. As expected of a divine beast, evolution was something anyone could do.
Thinking it over, he bit his index finger and squeezed out three drops of blood essence for the three-legged golden crow, the twisted tree spirit, and the Yingying grass to absorb, thus enslaving them with his blood essence.
It's not that I don't trust them, but I want the effect of that bloodline power.
"I feel a little dizzy."
He Xie rubbed his forehead, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Condensing three drops of essence blood at once is a bit too much of a drain.
Even with his advanced level 4 mutation, he felt somewhat overwhelmed.
Leaving the corner of the courtyard, we came to the lotus pond.
He Xie called the little water spirit out of the pool and asked, "Shui Shui, how can you increase your biological level?"
"Master, I don't know, I haven't leveled up yet."
She spoke with a cute, bright accent.
He Xie nodded and let Shui Ling go back into the water to continue frolicking.
He then sat down and began to ponder.
The three-legged golden crow can level up by basking in the sun.
The upgrade mechanism for Shui Ling is currently unclear.
So it seems that the only option right now is to earn more contrast points to exchange for Fairy Dew and upgrade the Twisted Treant and Whispering Grass creature levels.
As for that vixen...
Her loyalty cannot be guaranteed for the time being; she needs to be trained first before resources can be allocated to upgrade her.
Thinking about it, He Xie looked at Su Jiu'er, who was bickering with Yingyingcao in the corner of the yard, and called out to her, "Jiu'er, come to my room with me."
Su Jiu'er trembled upon hearing this, then said in a slightly nervous voice, "Yes, Master."
