Ruan Xi could probably guess how the Tree of Life was shaded by the mutated vines without asking, so he didn't bother to touch on the sad story of the Tree of Life.
The most important thing right now is to deal with the mutant vines first. After all, the mutant vines are treating him as food.
"In other words, while I'm hiding in the tree trunk, I'm unaffected by the mutant vines and can use my powers. But once I leave your trunk, I still can't use my powers." Ruan Xi's words were a bit awkward, yet they made perfect sense. It was a perfect paradox. In this situation, how could he get out and deal with the mutant vines? There was no way he could win even if he fought tooth and nail!
"Well..." The Tree of Life seemed to have just realized the problem, and the whole tree was filled with embarrassment. "Sorry, child, I didn't think of this question just now. After all, I haven't communicated with anyone in a long time, and my brain doesn't seem to be working well..."
Ruan Xi: "..." This self-deprecation was so blatant that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"That's not necessary." Ruan Xi poked the softness surrounding him comfortingly. Feeling a vibration, he grinned silently.
Sure enough, communicating with plants is much smoother than communicating with people.
"Okay, let me out. I can catch the mutant vine once, and I can catch it a second time." Of course, it would be best if there wasn't a third time.
The Tree of Life didn't hesitate much. After Ruan Xi spoke, he quickly let the person out. During this time, he kept expressing his concern and asked him to be careful.
Unfortunately, all the concerns were in vain. As soon as Ruan Xi left the protection of the tree trunk, his whereabouts were immediately exposed. The mutant vine had been completely enraged by Ruan Xi before, and now it was completely in the state of Tyrannosaurus Rex, and it was about to explode on the spot at any minute. As soon as it sensed Ruan Xi's whereabouts, it attacked without hesitation and instantly wrapped around Ruan Xi's waist.
In fact, the moment he left the tree trunk, Ruan Xi took advantage of the residual effect of his special ability and sensed the location of the mutant vine. He could have avoided this attack, but he did not. Instead, he stayed where he was and waited for the mutant vine to come to him automatically.
Since it is difficult to catch him, just wait for him to come to your door. To deal with his bad temper, just follow the routine.
As Ruan Xi had expected, the mutant vine attacked him the moment he appeared. The moment his waist was wrapped around by the mutant vine, Ruan Xi moved as fast as lightning and accurately pinched the top of the mutant vine that was clamoring to continue wrapping around him, which was the root of the mutant vine. He did not give the mutant vine any time to react. He formed his ten fingers into claws and stabbed his nails down fiercely.
This action is easier said than done, especially since the mutant vine is covered with slippery mucus. If you are not careful, it will slip away. Ruan Xi's skill of turning his ten fingers into knives is obviously not yet perfect. He felt a piercing pain in his fingertips as soon as he started to move. However, he relied on his perseverance to not retreat at all. Feeling a tiny crack at the root of the mutant vine, he increased his strength again and again without hesitation until his ten fingers were completely embedded in the mutant vine.
During this process, the mutant vine never loosened its grip on Ruan Xi. During his violent struggle, Ruan Xi experienced a drastic flipping movement and felt that his brains were about to be thrown out. In this situation, if he dared to let go, he would surely die, so he could only hold on with all his might.
In the end, Ruan Xi held on.
The mutant vine finally collapsed to the ground, twitching several times before it stopped moving. Ruan Xi was in great pain, his whole body buried in the thick leaves. As soon as he opened his mouth, he vomited a mouthful of blood. His whole body was in so much pain that he dared not even breathe hard. The pain was so severe that it was indescribable.
Ruan Xi panted for a long time before his heartbeat gradually returned to normal. He could clearly feel that the wood-type ability that had been sealed before had regained its freedom and was now quietly repairing his body. He subconsciously moved his fingers and wanted to retract his hand, but felt a hard object at his fingertips. He was used to digging crystal cores in his previous life, so he didn't need his brain to give any instructions, and his body had already moved automatically.
At this moment, he felt the soil beneath him was moving slightly, and something was cushioning his back, gently lifting him up into the air, freeing him from the terrifyingly thick leaves and allowing him to see the sunlight again.
It also allowed him to finally see clearly what he was holding in his palm - it was similar to a crystal core, but the energy contained in it was by no means comparable to that of a crystal core.
“This is really an unexpected gain.”
