Xu Zhi and Chu Xiaoyue followed behind the team and did not do much. Chu Xiaoyue was not short of this practical experience, so it would be better to let her teammates practice. Xu Zhi was simply lazy, and she was not short of this experience either. Besides, she was only in the first grade, so what was wrong with a little bit of practice?
According to the observation of [Prying Eyes], the level of this vine is not low, probably around the second stage of immortality. According to the dean of studies, most of the creatures on the outermost periphery are extraordinary creatures at the mastery level, and there are also creatures at the immortality level, but they are basically local tyrants who "dominate" a small area on the outer periphery.
I think this vine is the "local tyrant" here.
Generally, killing this kind of "local snake" will drop a lot of gold coins, which are the cores left behind by the extraordinary creatures it killed. It cannot digest them if they are not of the same attributes, but they are energy after all, so they will be collected.
Their original target was not this kind of local tyrant. After all, even if he was in the second stage of immortality, he would not be a difficult opponent to deal with under the righteous siege.
Originally, I had planned to go a little further inside to make it a little more difficult for myself, but now that I have encountered it, I naturally cannot let it go.
Without Chu Xiaoyue, Shu Yushan naturally became the team's main attacker. As a substitute, Ji Muge was very good at using double swords, which happened to play a greater role at this time. Of course, it refers to the role of clearing those annoying vines.
As the five people approached the core of the vine, more and more attacks came towards them. Obviously, the vine was also surprised that these prey that did not emit a very strong aura could directly see through its disguise and walk towards its real body.
One of its home advantages is that its main body is far away from the battlefield and is well camouflaged and difficult to be detected. Otherwise, it would not suddenly attack its prey. Unexpectedly, these prey with weak scent can find the location of its main body so quickly and accurately.
Once its true location was found, its attrition tactics would no longer work, and it would be forced to engage in head-on combat with the team. It tried many times to escape from the encirclement and hide again, but unfortunately, because of Xu Zhi's presence, it would be caught on the spot every time it tried to launch a sneak attack or slip away.
In terms of frontal combat capabilities, the vines are resilient and powerful, and also have paralyzing toxicity. If you are accidentally hit by a vine, you will not only suffer physical injuries, but your movements will also become slow due to paralysis.
Once the toxicity accumulates to a certain level, even the circulation of extraordinary energy will begin to become difficult. Therefore, after realizing that the vines' attack was poisonous, Su Ran immediately asked his teammates to resolve it quickly without delay.
When Chu Xiaoyue was not around, she could temporarily take on the responsibility of command. Although they had only trained together for about a week, they already had a certain tacit understanding and knowledge of each other. It was not a difficult task to encircle a vine that had lost its hiding place. Without even making too much noise, Shu Yushan had successfully achieved the "first kill" after entering the Lost Land.
When the tip of his spear pierced the vine, the burst of green blood accidentally splashed all over Qiu Hou. The fox-eyed young man twitched his eye and said in a subtle tone, "Are you taking revenge on me for avoiding the vine's slap just now and causing you to get slapped?"
Shu Yushan raised his hand to retract the spear he had thrust out. When he turned around, there was a very obvious red mark on the side of his face, as if it had been whipped. He looked at Qiu Hou with a forced smile: "What do you think?"
Xu Zhi and Chu Xiaoyue then walked over slowly. Xu Zhi exclaimed wow when he saw Qiu Hou's miserable appearance, but the special school uniforms they wore had built-in cleaning circuits, so the only thing that needed to be cleaned was their hair and faces that were soaked with green blood.
"What a smell! It's a bit disgusting." Qiu Hou wiped the blood with a look of despair. The scars on Shu Yushan's face had disappeared after simple treatment. Others had more or less some flesh wounds, or felt paralyzed by the toxin, but they were not difficult to solve. As long as they had their [heart], they would be fine after resting for ten minutes.
Xu Zhi's [Eyes of Insight] has not been turned off yet. After all, he is in unfamiliar territory, and even if he has just killed an enemy, he cannot be careless.
Thanks to her caution, Xu Zhi quickly discovered the abnormality.
To the naked eye, the green bloodstains of the vines that had stained everyone's bodies seemed to have been cleaned up, but under the effect of the [Prying Eyes], Xu Zhi saw the tiny bits of extraordinary energy belonging to the vines that still remained on their bodies.
What is this?
Xu Zhi informed her teammates of her discovery, choosing not to use her own brain but letting her teammates do the thinking.
After hearing Xu Zhi's words, several people showed thoughtful expressions. Chu Xiaoyue seemed to have thought of something: "The Lost Land has its own set of food chains. Some extraordinary creatures will choose to cooperate with each other. Perhaps this vine is the same?"
"And who are its partners?"
When asked this question, Chu Xiaoyue still had that dull expression, as if she wasn't very emotional. She looked at the questioner seriously and replied, "How should I know?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Chu Xiaoyue's demeanor in dealing with people always gives people the illusion that "she knows everything", causing people around her to occasionally rely too much on her reliable demeanor and ask some stupid questions, but Chu Xiaoyue will often reply directly with a look of "how should I know" with a fool's eye. Of course, this is only in private.
If she is in a public place or there are outsiders around, she will rely on her emotionless face and reliable temperament to transform herself into a riddler. Even if she doesn't understand or know something, she will act like "I understand, I know, but I can't say it."
Compared to Xu Zhi's character of doing things completely at will depending on his mood, Chu Xiaoyue obviously has more of a "spokesperson" temperament, but for some reason, in the short week since Xu Zhi joined, the team members have become somewhat accustomed to subconsciously obeying Xu Zhi's requests during battles. They attribute this subconsciousness to Xu Zhi's ability being very suitable for command.
"Pack up and get ready to move on. Be careful."
Although they don't know what the purpose of these indelible blood residues is, they can't stay here.
The seven of them rested for a while before continuing to go deeper into the Lost Land.
As they advanced slowly, they encountered several attacks, but they were all successfully counterattacked. Chu Xiaoyue and Xu Zhi rarely took action, and Xu Zhi would not always clearly inform his teammates of the enemy's position, characteristics and attributes. After a day, except for the two of them, the other five teammates looked a little embarrassed.
Even though the extraordinary people were full of energy, the high tension throughout the day and the occasional battles made them inevitably look a little tired.
"Let's rest here tonight." Chu Xiaoyue looked at the trees that were getting taller and taller nearby and made a decision.
