What's inside?
Before Jing Zhenxu could examine it carefully, he heard Ruan Tian continue excitedly speaking in his ear:
"Crystal cores! What they're protecting must be crystal cores!"
Jing Zhenxu was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Ruan Tian actually knew. He frowned and asked:
"How do you know that what's inside is a crystal core?"
Ruan Tian hummed twice, then proudly puffed out her small chest and said confidently:
"Based on my experience of collecting so many crystal cores, the thing being protected is definitely a crystal core!"
Moreover, Ruan Tian was certain that the crystal cores inside were not simple; they were probably of a high level, otherwise the plants wouldn't have been able to protect them.
"Jing Zhenxu, what method do you think the two of us can use to move these plants?"
"If we forcibly move them, we might disturb them. This is the most dangerous area, and the plants here are definitely of a high level. Forcibly moving them will certainly lead to dangerous situations."
"I see," Ruan Tian pondered how to get all these crystal cores for herself.
Suddenly, she remembered that she owned a very powerful mobile shop!
As long as you throw these vine-wrapped crystal cores into the house, no matter how angry these plants are, they won't be able to break into the absolute defense.
Ruan Tian rubbed her hands excitedly and told Jing Zhenxu about her plan.
"What you said does make some sense, but once we're inside, how are we going to get out?"
Ruan Tian's initial enthusiasm was suddenly dampened by Jing Zhenxu's long speech.
yes……
She can hide herself invincibly using her superpowers, but how will she come out when the time comes?
This presented another difficult problem. Ruan Tian frowned, racking her brain for ideas, but all of them were rejected.
Ruan Tian let out a long breath, suddenly at a loss for what to do.
But such an opportunity is really too rare!
If you miss this opportunity to take advantage of a deal, when will you ever get another chance?
Ruan Tian's face scrunched up. Jing Zhenxu's gaze swept around the room before she finally spoke:
"If all else fails, let's go back the way we came, mark this spot, and come back here again next time, okay?"
"That definitely won't work!"
Ruan Tian felt this method was unreliable. What if the plants had already awakened the next time she came here?
This is the most dangerous area; the awakened plants won't be so easy to deal with.
In addition, there are many survivors around the underground mine. Who knows, one of them might stumble upon some opportunity and happen to find this auspicious place, taking all the crystal cores here.
What should we do then!
Wouldn't Ruan Tian and Jing Zhenxu become the ones who get ripped off?
A classic example of losing both one's wife and one's army.
So Ruan Tian rejected Jing Zhenxu's suggestion. She gritted her teeth and decided to take a gamble and try to get the crystal core first!
Then she can use these crystal cores to upgrade her little cart. Maybe the upgraded cart will become more powerful and bring her some new and interesting items!
Ruan Tian made up her mind. She raised her hand and gently patted Jing Zhenxu's shoulder a few times, then said:
"You have to understand, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we seize this chance, we might just get a tremendous opportunity!"
Jing Zhenxu still felt uneasy, but when he met Ruan Tian's gaze, he noticed that her expression was very serious when she said those words, indicating that she had already made up her mind.
Seeing that Ruan Tian had made up her mind, he simply pursed his lips slightly and said nothing more.
"Then I'll take that as a yes!"
Ruan Tian chuckled, rubbing her hands together, ready to pull off a big heist!
Jing Zhenxu had no choice; she couldn't just watch Ruan Tian act alone, could she?
They could only take out the dagger they carried with them and, together with Ruan Tian, cut off the crystal cores that were wrapped in vines.
The moment the dagger severed the vine, green sap gushed out, looking somewhat disgusting.
Ruan Tian could actually smell the metallic scent of blood in the green liquid. Her brows furrowed, and she asked in confusion:
"This can't be plant blood, can it? It smells absolutely disgusting."
"Yes, some plants have poisonous sap. Stay away from them, because you have little experience and I'm afraid you'll get hurt."
"Uh-huh!"
Ruan Tian knew she wasn't really an expert on plants, and not wanting to cause trouble for Jing Zhenxu, she obediently took two steps back, giving him plenty of room to show off his skills.
Having spent so much time in City E and fought against many plants, Jing Zhenxu is quite adept at dealing with them.
In no time, they had cleared away the vines and successfully dug out the crystal cores.
Ruan Tian immediately summoned the shop!
Fortunately, the passageway was spacious enough, and the ever-expanding shops surrounded Ruan Tian and Jing Zhenxu.
As soon as Jing Zhenxu made his move on the crystal core, the plants woke up one by one from their slumber. They quickly realized that the crystal core had been stolen and slowly struggled to wake up.
Especially when Jing Zhenxu cut off the last vine, severing the last bit of connection between the crystal core and these plants, the plants began to emit terrifying breathing sounds, just like human breathing.
Fortunately, the shop only took a second to appear. Ruan Tian picked up the crystal core and threw it into the house. Her movements were clean and efficient, without any hesitation. Then she pulled Jing Zhenxu into the shop together.
The surrounding plants stirred, waking up one by one. Upon realizing that the crystal core was truly gone, they immediately became angry.
They went berserk and immediately attacked the shop, surrounding it completely in just three minutes.
Ruan Tian's heart nearly leaped out of her chest. Clutching her hand, she stared at the thorny vines before her and said to Jing Zhenxu:
"Luckily, the two of us ran fast enough, otherwise if all these vines had surrounded us, we would have been sucked to death!"
Jing Zhenxu's heart was also beating a little fast, but fortunately the two of them cooperated well and neither of them lost any points. They successfully returned to the shop with the crystal core.
Ruan Tian was a little excited. She couldn't care less about the vines outside now. Looking down at the crystal cores surrounded by the vines, she smiled and asked:
"Jing Zhenxu! Guess how many crystal cores are in here?"
Jing Zhenxu lowered his head and pondered for a while, "I estimate there are a few second-tier ones, I can sense them."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian became even more excited!
"Let's open this and take a look!"
“Okay,” Jing Zhenxu nodded cooperatively, cut off the vines wrapped around the crystal core with her dagger, and after tearing them clean, she could see the shiny pile of crystal cores!
Ruan Tian took a closer look, and the bad news was that there wasn't a single first-order crystal core.
The good news is that they are all second-order crystal nuclei.
There was even a third-order crystal core among them, emitting a faint golden light!
