Two dune buggies sped across the wasteland, with a massive, deadly vine, as thick as a thigh and twenty or thirty meters long, trailing behind them dejectedly.
Xiao Mao kept turning back, unable to bear it any longer, and said cautiously, "Sister, let it go back to your space. It just finished fighting the giant sandworm king, it must be very tired..."
Fang Qingdai shook her head frantically: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer!"
With so many people around, Fang Qingdai couldn't bring a large amount of water to wash Xiao Teng's body, but she really couldn't accept Xiao Teng entering the space covered in filth and polluting that pure environment!
Sand also has a cleaning effect; many people on the wasteland, who cannot afford water, rely on sand to clean their bodies.
That's why Fang Qingdai had Xiao Teng follow behind the car and roll around in the sand for a while to clean herself up!
However, her actions made Xiao Teng feel very wronged. Its human-like sense of loss and frustration made Xiao Mao feel heartbroken, and Xuan Liu, Xuan Ba, and Huang Changming also felt a little sorry for it.
Even Qingluan secretly glanced at Fang Qingdai several times, seemingly wanting to plead for Xiaoteng!
Fang Qingdai couldn't take it anymore and slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a stop.
The team members quickly got off the bus, each craning their necks to look at the small vines hanging behind them.
Fang Qingdai's forehead veins throbbed, and she couldn't hold back any longer. She said, "No, brothers, it's a killer vine! A killer vine, you know?"
The Killer Vine is thick-skinned and tough; if its weakness to fire hadn't been discovered, it would be incredibly lethal without a source of fire!
Especially Xiao Teng, who was born in the space and is irrigated with space water every day, has grown so big in such a short time. Her life couldn't be more comfortable!
What's wrong with these people? They feel sorry for a killer vine that's been walking alone in the desert for a while?
It originally belonged to the desert!
As soon as Fang Qingdai finished speaking, the little vine chased after her. As soon as they met, it softly snuggled up to Fang Qingdai, swaying its vine tips as if trying to touch her. But then, as if it had thought of something, it carefully withdrew.
Then it remained huddled beside Fang Qingdai's legs, looking both eager to get close and hesitant. Even though it had no facial features or limbs, the grievance, weakness, and helplessness it wanted to express were clearly conveyed to every team member!
Everyone's gaze towards Fang Qingdai became increasingly condemning!
Fang Qingdai: ...
Damn green tea vines!
Finally, under pressure from the crowd, Fang Qingdai carefully checked that there was no white discharge left on Xiao Teng's body. She tried her best not to recall those scenes and reluctantly reached out to rub Xiao Teng's head like a dog.
The little vine's listless appearance vanished instantly. It happily circled Fang Qingdai a few times, then affectionately and tenderly pressed itself against her leg.
Xiao Mao cupped her face in her hands, a doting smile on her face, her eyes brimming with envy: "Sister, your summoning vine is so close to you!"
"Yeah, it looks like a dog!" Huang Changming was also curious, and everyone was eager to try it out. They took turns plucking the little vine before they stopped.
Just as Fang Qingdai was about to put the little vine into her space, she saw it had finished cuddling with her and then returned to Fang Qingdai's side, its roots, which had been buried in the soil, suddenly lifting up.
Fang Qingdai then noticed something curled up at its base.
Xiao Teng presented the translucent, earthy-yellow object to Fang Qingdai like a treasure, and Xiao Mao immediately exclaimed, "A six-element earth crystal core!"
Fang Qingdai's eyes lit up as she took the crystal core and examined it carefully.
The crystal core resembles a colored crystal, but it seems to contain a misty, shimmering effect, giving the stone a mysterious quality.
Fang Qingdai handed the crystal cores to the team members, letting them take a look at them one by one.
Xuanba exclaimed excitedly, "I thought this whole killing spree was for nothing! Little Teng actually brought back the crystal core!"
Having just finished defeating the giant sandworm king, everyone was preparing to collect their spoils, such as the giant sandworm king's crystal core and its skin!
The giant sandworm king's skin is very tough and large; some people collect it to make protective gear, so a large one can be worth quite a few points.
But just as everyone was about to make a move, they heard a series of rustling sounds, which grew louder and louder, and even the sand began to tremble slightly!
A massive army of sandworms crawled out of the sand, and like madmen, they pounced on the giant sandworm king and frantically devoured its flesh and blood!
The scene instantly descended into chaos!
There were so many sandworms, tens of millions of them, that even with their extraordinary abilities, Fang Qingdai and the others dared not confront them head-on!
So Fang Qingdai and the others didn't have time to think about anything else, and as soon as they got the sand truck, they ran away without stopping!
They were initially comforting each other, thinking that at least the sandworm catching mission was completed, and they had even caught over a thousand extra sandworms. They figured they could make a fortune by selling the excess after turning in the mission.
Who would have thought that Xiao Teng had already taken the crystal core when he killed the giant sandworm king!
The team was overjoyed, and Fang Qingdai was also happy. She took out nutrient solution, water, and several portions of medicine from her space: "Everyone, eat something and rest. Those who are injured, each take a grade B medicine to recover as soon as possible."
Xuan Liu was stunned for a moment: "We were only hit by the giant sandworm king. Our armor blocked most of the impact, so we weren't seriously injured and don't need the B-potion!"
Fang Qingdai waved her hand and said, "Use it if I tell you to!"
"There are only five people in total, and three of our main players are injured. How can we manage? In the second half, as we approach point four, there will be plenty of teams waiting to plunder and loot along the way!"
Around the base's stronghold, there are also gathering places for ordinary people, similar to shantytowns, and even many independent superhumans.
A free agent with special abilities is generally a convict who has been expelled from the base for committing serious offenses, or who has fled to avoid punishment by the base.
Those dangerous elements dare not approach the main base, so they linger around the outposts. Their strength varies, and if they are unlucky, they may encounter very strong ones.
Therefore, Fang Qingdai's team must maintain peak performance.
Moreover, Fang Qingdai has stockpiled eight or nine A-grade potions and twenty or thirty B-grade potions, and can replenish them every day, so she doesn't feel any heartache at all.
Seeing Fang Qingdai's insistence, everyone drank the potion with moved expressions, thinking to themselves that although this captain was sometimes a bit spoiled and unreliable, she still cared about her team members very much!
After everyone had eaten and rested, Fang Qingdai directed them to pack up and prepare to leave. She called Xiao Mao several times but received no response, so she turned around to look at him curiously.
But then they saw Xiao Mao holding the crystal core, completely absorbed in it, with an unusual look of intoxication on his face.
Fang Qingdai frowned upon seeing this, feeling that the scene seemed somewhat familiar.
"What are you doing, Fatty? I told you to pack up and leave!" Huang Changming was a little anxious when he saw Xiao Mao's state. He cared more about the team members' opinions of Xiao Mao than Xiao Mao himself, afraid that Xiao Mao might do something wrong and be disliked by the team members.
He stepped forward to grab Xiao Mao, but Fang Qingdai stopped him in time.
"Wait! Could it be that he... he's sensing some kind of supernatural energy fluctuation?"
