The man's hand slipped, sliding to Du Zhen's ankle, instantly escaping the threat of the knife tip from his throat.
"What clue? What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Don't understand?" Du Zhen twisted and hooked his toe, the tip of the knife slashing the man's arm, a string of blood falling happily to the ground, and the underground plants went even more frenzied.
The man gritted his teeth: "Don't force me to take you down with me."
Du Zhen remained unmoved, repeatedly slicing the man's arm with the tip of his knife, the wounds so deep that the bone was visible.
The man, enraged, disregarded the threat of the knife and scrambled up Du Zhen's legs, baring his fangs and biting into Du Zhen's legs with reckless force, nearly piercing the muscles in Du Zhen's calves.
Du Zhen sneered. Her special ability was desensitization; she wouldn't feel pain even if bitten by a dog or had her leg cut off.
Du Zhen kicked his legs hard a few times, the knife tip under his foot moving in and out of the man's chest, white knife in, red knife out.
The man stared at Du Zhen in disbelief as his blood-loss-prone body slumped limply off her. It fell into the vegetation, where it was instantly devoured, becoming nourishment for the soil.
Du Zhen also had a long and deep wound on his leg.
Du Zhen stared at the water-type evolved human hanging beneath Wang Yan and teased, "Little Wang, are you any good? Have you been turned into a coward by your new boss?"
Wang Yan: "..."
The balloon, now with one less person, rose even faster, and Wang Yan floated past Xia Chuhe.
Xia Chuhe said, "Kill them if you want. If this one dies, there are still two more below! Once they're all dead, the bottom team will emerge, won't it?"
Wang Yan: "..."
Help! Someone please save me!
When you encounter an evolved being who happens to be your nemesis, your overwhelming anger is drowned out and all that remains is overwhelming resentment.
There were also two older sisters who, not content with the spectacle, only added fuel to the fire with their complaints.
What grudge or hatred could there be?
The two people hanging at the bottom remained silent, trying their best to minimize their presence.
Xia Chuhe hooked his arm around Wang Yan and used his free hand to take a sickle from the farm.
The sickle slipped from his grasp and fell, grazing the nose of the man at the bottom.
Xia Chuhe bowed her head and greeted him: "Oh, I'm so sorry, my hand slipped."
"..." I don't believe you.
Xia Chuhe took out a sickle again, and with a flick of his wrist, the blade hooked onto the water-type evolver.
“Water overcomes fire, and earth overcomes water,” Xia Chuhe laughed. “Since I can’t create earth, I might as well try to see if metal can overcome water.”
Xia Chuhe applied slight pressure, and the sharp scythe tip pressed a bloody gash into the evolved human's neck.
Xia Chuhe muttered to himself, "It seems I can overcome it."
The water-evolver was filled with terror. He had no doubt that the crazy woman in front of him would kill him in the next second.
"I'll tell you! I have a lead!"
"Shut up!" the man at the bottom shouted. He seemed to be the leader among the men, and he had some intimidating presence among them. The water-type evolver struggled internally.
Zhao Maomao was on the verge of tears. He didn't want to carry those two burdens around either, but his special ability wasn't offensive, so he was completely helpless...
Lu Dangui freed one hand, pulled out the iron hairpin from his hair, and with a flick of his wrist, shot it straight at the male captain's throat.
The male captain reacted extremely quickly, slightly loosening his grip, sliding down his body, and biting the iron hairpin.
He spat out the iron hairpin, which fell to the ground.
Two front teeth also fell down with it.
"Don't you dare!"
If someone speaks with a lisp, their intimidation factor drops from 100 to zero.
The man threatened with the sickle readily agreed: "When we first arrived at the basement, we did find a piece of paper that said—all plants are components; let those in the soil return to the soil, let those in the water return to the water, and let those in the fire return to the fire."
Recalling the scene Li Qiusheng had witnessed, Xia Chuhe asked, "So, as long as you put plants in a pot, you can accumulate what you need?"
“Yes,” the water-evolver added. “The back of the paper gave some examples: carrots, peanuts, yams, potatoes… can turn into soil, watermelons, cucumbers… can turn into water. But the paper didn’t go into detail, and we were just experimenting.”
Although he only mentioned a few plants, Xia Chuhe was able to guess the pattern.
What grows in the soil is soil, and what has a lot of moisture is water.
Thinking about the warm palms after picking a sunflower... then, the sunflower represents sunshine.
After a day of work, the tasks assigned by the astronauts have finally started to take shape.
However, tonight's events prove that everything is clearly not as simple as the water-evolver claimed. The plants that were placed in the pot to return to their natural state during the day have become deadly weapons at night.
The plants on the ground gradually subsided, and the basement, which had been overrun by plants, returned to peace.
The balloon popped with a "pop".
Everyone was slammed into a pile of Jenga.
Lu Dangui picked up the iron hairpin and rubbed it back and forth on the leaves of the nearby plant several times. Seeing that the watermelon next to her was not moving, and confirming that the watermelon had lost its aggressiveness, she poked it in and out of the rind seven times.
Xia Chuhe couldn't bear to watch any longer and offered her a bottle of water.
Old Qin was busy bandaging Du Zhen's wounds. Just as he had predicted, the wounds could not be healed.
The gap-toothed man grabbed the water-type evolver and beat him up.
...
As night deepened and danger receded, the group finally slept soundly.
Xia Chuhe vaguely remembered balloons, corpses, plants...
It seems somewhat familiar.
The next day, before dawn, the man with the gap-toothed tooth secretly led his two remaining teammates to work hard in the field, intending to wipe out the other two teams.
Coincidentally, he's not the only one who thinks this way.
The man with the gap-toothed tooth was carrying a bundle of yams when he ran into Lu Danggui.
