Chapter 348 Milky White Vines
Xia Xiaoman told Zhang Can about her experience and asked him to be careful. Then she took Maodan home to treat his wound.
Those "ropes" were so horrible that in just a short while, Maodan had more than a dozen cuts on her body. She was lucky that she had a sweater and coat to protect her, so she only had some bruises on her body, but no bleeding.
After treating Maodan's wound, Xia Xiaoman took out the 'rope' that had been stored in the space. The moment the 'rope' appeared, it wanted to wrap around Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman was already prepared, holding the Tang sword tightly, he cut the rope into several sections. The rope fell to the ground, twisted unwillingly for a few times, and then there was no movement.
Xia Xiaoman used the tip of the knife to pick up a piece of "rope" and examined it carefully. These "rope" were not real ropes, but a kind of milky white vine.
The color of the vines is close to the color of snow, and it is difficult to distinguish them in the snow. The surface of the vines is a bit like the smooth stems of taro seedlings, but they are much tougher than taro seedlings. If you use an axe that is not sharp enough, it will take at least seven or eight cuts to cut them off.
The inner core of the vine is a transparent jelly-like substance similar to aloe vera. It smells faintly fragrant, but I don’t know if it is edible.
After roughly understanding what the "rope" that attacked him was, Xia Xiaoman decided to go out and look for Li Yu'e.
As soon as she reached the door, Maodan ran over and bit her trouser leg, preventing her from going out.
"Ah, awoo~" It's too dangerous outside, don't go out!
Xia Xiaoman gently touched Maodan's big head, "Don't worry, I have a way to save my life, I will definitely come back safely. You stay at home and be good, don't run around. If you encounter something you can't solve, go find Zhang Can, he may not be as strong as you, but his IQ is definitely higher than yours."
"Awoo! Awoo!" Maodan protested in dissatisfaction. How could his IQ be so low? Don't make personal attacks like this.
Xia Xiaoman laughed, scratched its chin, took out the Tang sword, turned around and left to join the Lingxu Gang.
Walking out of the yard, Xia Xiaoman was alert all the way. He felt as if something was approaching him. He didn't care whether it was an illusion or not, and he swung his knife first.
She arrived at Li Yu'e's house in fear and trepidation. When she saw Wen Ling opening the door, she asked, "Lingling, where is Sister Yu'e?"
"There was an accident in a greenhouse. The person sent to record the situation in the greenhouse has not returned. Sister Yu'e is leading people over there to check the situation."
Hearing Wen Ling's words, Xia Xiaoman felt a bad feeling in his heart, "Where are the others?"
"A kid from the gang is missing. Brother Yang and Sister Chen Ya are leading people out to look for him. Brother Ayu and Aunt Yu'e are going to the greenhouse. Brother Su Ran was on duty last night and is probably catching up on his sleep now. My brother is helping someone repair their house."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "Lingling, have someone call Zhou Qiuyang and the others back, and also inform everyone in your gang to stay at home as much as possible and not run around. There are unidentified creatures attacking humans outside, and Zhou Qiuyang and the others may get into trouble if they run around."
"Also, arrange for someone to lead the way for me and take me to find Sister Yu'e."
Although Wen Ling usually likes to play like an ordinary child, when it comes to serious matters, he immediately changes his attitude and says solemnly: "Okay, I'll arrange someone right away. Sister Xiaoman, please wait here." With that, Wen Ling trotted out.
After a while, she came back with someone, "Sister Xiaoman, go with him to find Aunt Yu'e. I'm going to take someone to count the people in the gang to prevent anyone from not coming back."
Xia Xiaoman nodded in response, then followed the man to find Li Yu'e.
The greenhouse that Li Yu'e and Xiao Zheyu went to was quite far away. Xia Xiaoman walked for more than ten minutes before she saw the shadow of the greenhouse. As soon as she approached the greenhouse, she found several dark shadows lying on the ground and twisting.
Xia Xiaoman drew out his Tang sword and rushed forward immediately. As expected, it was Li Yu'e and Xiao Zheyu lying on the ground.
They were all bound by milky white vines. Li Yu'e endured the pain, pulled out a dagger and tried to cut the vines. However, the vines were too tightly wrapped and she couldn't exert any strength. The dagger was not sharp enough to cut the vines. After working for a long time, she could only cause some minor injuries to the vines.
Xia Xiaoman ran forward and quickly swung his knife to cut the vines. If he had been a little slower, Xiao Zheyu and Li Yu'e might have been strangled to death by the vines.
Having escaped death, Li Yu'e greedily took a deep breath. After taking two deep breaths, she pointed inside the greenhouse and said in a hoarse voice, "Inside, ahem, there is another one..."
Xia Xiaoman's eyes shone, and he rushed into the greenhouse with his Tang sword tightly grasped. Seeing the scene in the greenhouse, Xia Xiaoman was stunned for two seconds.
The two people who were originally guarding the greenhouse were fixed to the ground in the shape of a "big" by vines. Their bodies had hideous faces, their mouths were wide open, and their eyeballs were bulging as if they were about to fall out of their sockets.
After coming to his senses, Xia Xiaoman immediately rescued the people who were still alive nearby.
After confirming that there were no living people in the greenhouse, Xia Xiaoman pulled the other party out of the greenhouse quickly. Outside the greenhouse, Li Yu'e and others who had just broken free from the vines were entangled by the vines again.
But this time they already had experience and preparation, and were not as passive as before. They all took out sharp knives to cut the vines.
"Don't fight too long, break free from the vines and run back. There is no way to cut all these vines!" Xia Xiaoman shouted while cutting the vines.
Li Yu'e glanced at the greenhouse unwillingly, "Everyone, retreat!"
The group hurriedly broke free from the vines and ran back. After running for a distance, Xiao Zheyu asked breathlessly, "Sister Xiaoman, hey, why did you come to see us?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps coming from the alley next to him. Xia Xiaoman and the others turned around and saw Zhou Qiuyang and his group running towards them in a panic.
"Xiaoman, Sister Yu'e..." Zhou Qiuyang was a little excited when he saw them.
Li Yu'e waved her hand and said, "It's not safe outside. Let's go back and talk about it."
Back at the Lingxu Gang, Wen Ling and Wen Xu sat on the kang with serious faces. When they saw them coming back, Wen Ling stood up and said, "Aunt Yu'e, there are six people missing from the gang."
Li Yu'e was stunned for a moment, "Did anyone send someone out to look for it?"
Wen Ling glanced at Xia Xiaoman and said, "No, Sister Xiaoman said there are unknown creatures out there that are attacking humans. I'm afraid if I send someone out, they'll never come back."
Li Yu'e heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "It's good that no one was sent out. Tell everyone below to stay at home and not to go out without my order. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
Wen Xu said, "I've already notified them. Except for the six missing people and the people you and Brother Yang took out, everyone else has returned home."
"That's good." Li Yu'e paused, then turned to look at the others, "You all go home and treat your wounds. Zhou Qiuyang, Chen Ya, and Su Ran stay here."
"Xiao Zheyu, go ask Menglin to come over and ask her to help take a look at what this thing is." As she said that, she threw a piece of milky white vine on the table.
