Chapter 56 Fighting Strange Plants
However, when the net shines on them, the leaves tremble slightly, and occasionally a silvery light is reflected from them.
"Qingqing, be careful. This strange plant is probably poisonous."
Gu Qing had the same guess, but she was confident in the protective suit she was wearing, which Chen Xingheng had specially provided for their team.
She held the short sword in her hand, unaware of how much damage it could inflict on her opponent.
Chen Xingheng had thought the valley was safe for the time being, but now it seemed he had been careless, and he regretted it. He also overturned his previous idea that he should find one or two more husbands for Gu Qing as soon as possible.
This would provide some protection for her safety, since with Gu Qing's abilities, she wouldn't be willing to remain at home without being able to purify it.
So, when going out to collect things, there will always be some unexpected events. Without strong protection, Gu Qing will inevitably get hurt. Therefore, after weighing the options, he cannot be too selfish.
As for those three, they're just using this momentum for now; the others probably won't be of much use.
He channeled his energy, gripped the energy sword in his hand, and leaped into the air, gliding towards the fragile net.
A metallic clanging sound rang out, and although the net was torn open, Chen Xingheng had also expended a considerable amount of energy.
Gu Qing knew from the sound that the strange plant was not as fragile as it looked; at least, she couldn't cut it with her abilities.
The net was torn, but the branches quickly reconnected. In just a few seconds, it became a completely new net again.
Chen Xingheng frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. He gathered his strength and struck again, glancing back at Qing several times.
Although the vines could grow, their approach to them slowed down. At this moment, Chen Xingheng's voice rang out.
"This exotic plant isn't very high-level, Qingqing, be careful to protect yourself. I'll take care of it in a bit." As soon as he finished speaking, the white tiger came closer.
No longer the soft and cute creature it once was, its entire body now reached almost to her shoulders, its eyes gleaming with ferocity, its claws peeking out from under its paw pads, and its thick, powerful tail drooping to the ground.
It was surrounded by a blue-white mist. Constantly alert to its surroundings, this was the proper state for an A+ grade spiritual entity.
His previous soft and cute state was adorable and endearing, but his current fighting state is simply mesmerizing, perhaps because he noticed her infatuated gaze.
The white tiger glanced up at her briefly, then patted her twice with its tail to comfort her before returning its gaze to Chen Xingheng's battle.
Chen Xingheng's sword was also covered with a blue and white halo. As soon as it came into contact with the large net formed by the alien plants, the net was frozen, as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.
However, although it didn't reach that level, when Chen Xingheng used that force to cut it, a piece of it shattered.
Not only that, but because it had been frozen, the growth rate of the alien plant slowed down considerably, and after only two such attempts, the alien plant seemed to want to retreat.
Chen Xingheng didn't kill him outright. He withdrew his superpower and continued to fight while the opponent retreated, eventually determining the extent of the alien plant's roots.
With the addition of his supernatural power, a 3x3 square patch of land was frozen solid. The alien plants emitted a sharp, explosive sound, but Chen Xingheng still managed to dig out the crystal core.
Chen Xingheng walked over with a smile, holding the crystal core. "Qingqing, it's just a third-tier exotic plant, and not even a primary attack type. However, the energy of an exotic plant's crystal core is gentler, so you can use it to refine medicine in the future."
Gu Qing accepted it without hesitation, put it into the energy box, and sent it into her space.
He asked in confusion, "Xingheng, you just cleaned this place up, why are there still strange plants here? This is developing too fast."
"Plants below level five don't move, which might mean they lived here before. Gray rats used to roam this place, and the low-level plants were eaten and dared not show their faces."
We cleared away what disrupted the balance here, and the exotic plants grew faster.
This strange plant attacks by piercing the skin when people are off guard, causing paralysis. Fortunately, the great white tiger discovered its presence in time.
Gu Qing cooperated with his words, rubbing the big white tiger. The big white tiger raised its head and walked forward, turning back to look at the two of them when it was four or five meters away.
The implication was something like, "(The problem is solved, so hurry up and leave.)"
Gu Qing looked directly into its eyes and stretched out her hand. "Let's go pick pure flowers."
She was directing from there, and Chen Xingheng was cutting flowers with scissors. The further Gu Qing went in, the more pure the flowers there were.
Gu Qing looked at Chen Xingheng. "Didn't you test these flowers before?"
Chen Xingheng shook his head, "Because of the battle with the alien bees, these flowers were destroyed beyond recognition, so we didn't pay much attention to them."
They only collected some nectar and left.
I thought the flowers should be restored by now, and I figured you'd like them, so I brought you here to see them.
When they reached the innermost part of the valley, Gu Qing froze. In her eyes, a gentle breeze blew, and a shimmering light rose and fell with it.
Her finger trembled as she pointed to the patch of flowers, "Xingheng, this, this, this."
Chen Xingheng quickly came over and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did you overuse your powers?" He then placed his hand on her eyes.
"Stop looking. If you're lacking pure exotic plants, I'll go find some for you. Don't overwork yourself."
Gu Qing covered his eyes, then removed his broad, calloused hands. She took a deep breath and said, "Xingheng, the flowers near the cliff in the valley are all pure flowers."
"What?" Chen Xingheng was shocked, but he didn't go over to check immediately. Instead, he protected her first.
"Ah Hu, search this valley again." There's such a large, pure area; there must be a guardian beast here, although he knew in his heart that the guardian beast should be that swarm of alien bees.
But the alien bee was injured, and he couldn't guarantee that other alien beasts hadn't targeted this place.
