Perhaps the key to breaking the deadlock lies in the core of the dungeon.
Xia Chuhe pursed her lips. She felt as if she had returned to the first few days after entering the Nuwa Factory. Every day, she was exhausted from trying to survive.
Xia Chuhe stopped in his tracks. If things continued like this, everyone would be dragged down to their deaths by this dungeon.
The so-called reward is utter nonsense.
Nearly half of the botanical garden has been destroyed, and the destroyed plants are only enough to germinate seeds. The subsequent growth of these seeds requires exponentially more water and sunlight. It is estimated that it would take all the plants in the garden to cultivate a single seed.
Xia Chuhe had a terrifying idea—the core of the instance might be the fruit that grows from a seed?
If that's the case, then the competition will become even more brutal.
Because she realized the truth about the competition, but couldn't choose to stop.
It was as if she knew there was a cliff ahead, but the lifeline was inside the cliff, so she had no choice but to keep going.
Xia Chuhe stroked the piece of paper the water-evolver had given her. The paper could only inspire the zombies when it was in the hands of the flag zombie.
Xia Chuhe originally didn't plan to use this piece of paper anymore, but now it seems...
Xia Chuhe handed the paper to Wang Yan, and the zombies launched another fierce attack.
Today was another day of exhaustion, fulfillment, and unbearable pain.
As night fell, the person with the balloon led the way, while the others obediently lined up behind the person who owned the prop.
Little Sanhua handed the balloon to Ah Bao and then hid in Ah Bao's arms.
A-Bao had tied Du Zhen and Lao Qin together with a rope, while Zhao Maomao and Wang Yan waited meekly to get some balloons.
The man with the gap-toothed tooth was very kind to Xia Chuhe, and even took the initiative to invite her to stand next to him.
Xia Chuhe wasn't afraid of his tricks and readily accepted his invitation.
Just as the plants launch their attack, the balloons take off into the sky.
As the balloon slowly rose into the air, the gap-toothed man considered the possibility of kicking Xia Chuhe off the balloon and killing her.
As he was thinking, the man with the gap-toothed tooth suddenly felt a tightness in his crotch.
Xia Chuhe, without anyone noticing, pulled out a sickle and pressed it against the man's lower abdomen.
Xia Chuhe smiled kindly: "You'd better hold on tight to me, or I'm afraid I'll cut your flesh if you shake it."
Gap-toothed man: "Whoa..."
The rampant plants gradually subsided, and just when everyone thought it was another peaceful night, tiny needles flew out from the basement.
Everyone was hit a few times, more or less, and the balloon burst with a "pop," sending them crashing to the ground.
The rampant plants found a target and swarmed towards it in an instant.
The evolved beings each used their unique skills to defend themselves.
Du Zhen, relying on his fearlessness of pain and his previous injuries, directly pulled the group together, using his body to create a safe area for his teammates.
The punctured balloon in Ah Bao's hand still had some deterrent effect, so the plant attacks weren't too fierce.
The water-evolved creature and another man, one releasing water and the other building an earthen wall, while the gap-toothed man waved around balloon skins and rotten roadblocks, didn't seem to be causing any major problems.
Xia Chuhe and the others also had helmets and iron buckets that had broken yesterday. Although they couldn't completely stop them, they could at least give them a chance to catch their breath.
Li Qiusheng turned into soil and burrowed into the ground, only to be quickly knocked out again, then burrowed in again, and was knocked out again...
They endured the ordeal until the plant uprising ended, and everyone was injured.
Fortunately, they were all minor injuries. Those who had broken props, such as Xia Chuhe, A Bao, and the gap-toothed man, were only injured by the cactus thorns that showed no martial ethics.
Xia Chuhe lay on the ground, weak and listless: "Why are there cacti?"
Wang Yan replied weakly, "Sister Xia, didn't you say we should get more sunlight? Cacti need sunlight..."
The man with the gap-toothed tooth and Du Zhen and the others didn't say anything either; this group of cactus thorns was naturally also their masterpiece.
For evolved beings like Xia Chuhe who have a spatial ability, changing clothes for their teammates allows them to slowly pick out the cactus thorns from each other's hands and faces. Others not only have to pick out the thorns from their skin, but also have to be careful to avoid secondary damage from the cactus thorns on their clothes.
Ah Bao was quick and agile. He transformed into a leopard cat, crawled out of his clothes, shook himself vigorously, and cleaned himself up. He and Little Sanhua then licked each other's fur.
Xia Chuhe hesitated: "I wanted to ask before, is this... a cat transforming into a human?"
Ah Bao looked at Xia Chuhe, his cold cat eyes gleaming green in the darkness: "Superpower, Beast Transformation."
Nothing was said that night.
Having experienced the failure of the involution process, everyone unanimously chose this time to send only one person from each team to compete.
The man with the gap-toothed tooth didn't trust his teammates to handle the props, so he went up himself. After rolling up his hair for several days in a row, the man with the gap-toothed tooth felt something wet under his nose and inside his ears. He reached down and touched it, feeling some pale yellow liquid.
The body decomposed rapidly inside.
The man with the gap-toothed tooth muttered to himself, "The body fee is twenty-four, is it for death?"
He suddenly thought of the corpses piled up in the corner, occasionally moving slightly; their dead nerves still sent a chill down his spine.
The gap-toothed man consoled himself, saying that this was his sixth day in the dungeon, and he would be able to leave tomorrow. The worst outcome would be that he would get nothing and lose two teammates, but he could always find another one next time.
That day, Xia Chuhe did very little work, but she came up with a good idea to coax props from the strange man.
Based on the strange man's previous behavior, Xia Chuhe categorized him as a good kid who liked cute things.
The best way to attract a child's attention is to spark their curiosity.
Xia Chuhe found a spot where the strange man could see him, built a small shady spot with plant vines, took a few clothes from the farm to put under his head, placed some delicious food and drinks around him, and comfortably lay down to read "Jin Ping Mei". When he got tired of lying down, he would turn over and continue reading.
