The mutated vines, like giant pythons that have come to life, approached silently, their branches twisting and coiling in the air.
Several thick vines shot towards Xiao Jin and the others like arrows, their speed astonishing, the wind they generated almost tearing the surrounding air apart.
Everyone witnessed what happened to An Xiang just now, so who would dare to be touched by those vines!
Despite Liu Chong's seemingly 'playful' inner thoughts, he is the quickest to act when something unusual happens.
As soon as the group in front stopped, he silently crawled backward, giving the others as much space to retreat as possible.
"Retreat!" The attack of the vines panicked the superhumans behind them.
Someone shouted something, and the sound sent a shiver down everyone's spine.
Fortunately, the vines that spread like demonic tentacles seemed to be bound by some unknown force and could not attack the group.
Even though they stretched out with all their might, they could only helplessly stop in mid-air, as if blocked by an invisible wall, unable to move forward any further.
The vines swung wildly in the air, each branch whistling through the air with a chilling whooshing sound.
As the member of the team closest to those vines, Pan Lizhi could clearly feel the cold and dangerous aura emanating from them.
The tendrils of the vines almost brushed against his cheek, and he could even hear the faint sound of the wind rubbing against his skin.
Pan Lizhi breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he didn't have to turn into a hornet's nest and a dried-up corpse!
But this relief was short-lived, replaced by a raging fire of anger.
Pan Lizhi gritted his teeth, his mind filled with only one thought—to avenge An Xiang!
Enraged, Pan Lizhi's eyes seemed to burn with flames. All his supernatural abilities were fully unleashed at this moment, and his ice-type supernatural abilities were also awakened.
Under the influence of this force, frost even began to appear faintly around the pipe wall.
Immediately afterwards, several sharp icicles appeared out of thin air in front of Pan Lizhi. They were crystal clear and shimmered with a cold light.
Pan Lizhi clenched his fists, swung his hand sharply, and shot the ice spikes that contained all his strength toward the rampaging mutated vine in front of him.
The icicles sliced through the air with an invincible force, determined to utterly destroy the enemy before them.
When the blow hit the mutated vine, the vine's branches, like wildly writhing venomous snakes, were suddenly frozen by an invisible cold current in the frigid air.
A layer of crystal-clear ice crystals condensed on its surface, shimmering with a cold light, instantly losing its former ferocity and vitality.
At the same time, Xiao Jin also made a move.
The six-clawed hook was thrown out instantly, catching the shadow thorn on the ground before returning to Xiao Jin's palm.
Then she gently raised her hand and activated the skill 'Instant Thrust', which would give Xiao Jin's next attack an armor-piercing effect, so that the vines would never be unable to be cut again.
At the same time, Xiao Jin also added a touch of spatial blade effect to the Shadow Assassin.
This caused the Shadow Assassin's blade to twist and fold, its surface shimmering with a cold silver light, its imposing aura chilling to the bone.
Before anyone could react, Xiao Jin flashed, moving like a ghost through the frozen vines, his Shadow Dagger slicing through the air at incredible speed.
With a loud "ripping" sound, the main body of the vine was torn apart by the blow, and huge fragments scattered everywhere, like fallen leaves swept by a gale.
The scattered, escaped branches, filled with resentment and anger, hurtled towards Xiao Jin like arrows of revenge.
However, Xiao Jin's lips curled into a faint smile, and a soft yet resilient blue light suddenly shone around her.
The quantum shield was activated, blocking all attacks, and Xiao Jin didn't even get a scratch.
This scene happened to be witnessed by Lu Jiawei, who was not far away.
His face froze instantly, his eyes widened, and his expression was full of disbelief.
He inwardly exclaimed in shock, "Damn it, this pretty boy is clearly not a superhuman, where does she get so many incredible abilities?"
Lu Jiawei's heart pounded violently, a mix of unprecedented fear and shock washing over him.
He began to doubt his own judgment, and even considered giving up, thinking it might be better to... abandon the plan!
But as soon as the thought of backing down arose, he forcefully suppressed it.
No, we can't give up like this! When has Lu Jiawei ever been afraid of anyone?
Lu Jiawei's sinister gaze quietly fell on Xiao Jin.
Anyway, that pretty boy is definitely aware of my malice towards her. Even if I don't cause her any trouble, she won't let me off the hook.
Why not... strike first!
Thinking of this, Lu Jiawei narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the horde of zombies below...
On the other side, everyone attacked together, with Xiao Jin taking the lead and smashing the mutated vines to pieces, while Cen Nian wielded her short stick with great skill.
A moment later, all the vines that had been crowding the pipe in front were cleared away.
Looking down from above, a section of the vertical vine is visible, and there are faint signs of plant movement at the cut, as if it wants to regenerate.
Upon seeing this, Liu Chong unleashed several bolts of lightning.
To some extent, lightning belongs to the fire element and can also have a restraining effect on plants.
Sure enough, a flash of light appeared, and the mutated plant was charred by Liu Chong's lightning-type supernatural power. Its cut surface turned black, and its regeneration stopped.
"Phew, alright, we can finally go now." Xiao Guo wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The main problem is that we have to leave! The zombies below are all attracted to them, and if we don't leave soon, they'll climb up.
As the group stepped over the hole created by the mutated plant and looked down, they learned the origin of the mutated plant.
On a desk below, a potted plant about the size of a palm had mutated.
The plant grew rapidly, bursting the flowerpot, and the vines, having nowhere to go, broke through the ventilation ducts and several sections of the ceiling.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads with a sigh.
"It's terrifying. Any plant can mutate. I wonder what our world will become."
The people around them sighed and groaned, but Xiao Jin and Cen Nian remained silent.
Xiao Jin was alright, as she had already experienced these things once before, while Cen Nian was filled with emotion.
At least they're still in their own world, but what about me? I don't even know when I can go back!
………………
The group continued along the narrow passage.
As they passed the opening created by the mutated plants, Liu Chong suddenly stopped.
Without hesitation, he quickly destroyed several sections of pipe behind him. The ear-piercing sound of metal scraping against metal echoed jarringly in the silent passage.
"This should delay them for a while," Liu Chong's deep voice sounded in my ear.
It turned out that he was afraid the zombies would sneak up from behind and catch them off guard.
Damaging the ventilation ducts was just a temporary measure; as for getting back, he believed there would always be other ways.
