Chapter 153 I just wanted to help you... [19]
Ah Chu remembered it being mentioned in the story.
Song Jiahe took advantage of the fact that the others in his team were dealing with the mutated plants, and then he went around to the back to launch a sneak attack.
After sacrificing three teammates, she successfully obtained the crystal core of the mutated plant.
As Achu went behind the mutated plant, Chen Wang, who had been distracted and paying attention to her, immediately noticed her.
He frowned, wondering what Achu was up to.
Shen Wang tried to call out to A Chu, but before he could speak, a vine wrapped around his arm.
The vines were incredibly strong, as if they wanted to snap his hand.
There was nothing else he could do but deal with the current situation.
Looking at the annoying mutated plant in front of him, Shen Wang's eyes were filled with gloom and hostility, and he was very impatient.
He first severed the vine, then unleashed a sharp wind blade, cutting off several more vines of the mutated plant.
Shen Sui glanced at Shen Wang several times.
Before encountering this mutated plant, Shen Sui had only seen Shen Wang kill zombies with a long knife, and had never seen him use any supernatural abilities.
I originally thought Shen Wang's wind-type ability was the same as the wind-type ability user in his team, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful!
That wind blade was even more powerful than his ice blade...
The mutated plant seemed to become even more enraged after several of its vines were cut off by Shen Wang, and it began to swing its vines even more fiercely.
Others were also whipped by its vines, wincing in pain.
Shen Sui had no time to think about anything else; he had to deal with the vines that the mutated plant was throwing at him.
It's possible that the mutated plant's attention was focused on Shen Wang and his group, or perhaps it simply didn't take A Chu, who seemed to pose no threat, seriously.
As a result, Achu easily arrived behind the mutated plant and saw the dark green, ball-like thing that was attached to the ground.
This should be the place.
Achu concentrated his metal-based supernatural power into the axe in his hand, took a deep breath, then raised the axe and brought it down heavily—
The spherical object was split open by Achu, creating a hole the size of a bowl.
Her chop was so precise that the axe struck so hard that it revealed a bit of the crystal core.
It's a bright green color, and it seems to be glowing.
The mutated plant was in pain, but it couldn't make a sound.
All its vines first stood up and trembled wildly, then flew around erratically as if in a frenzy.
The others were still a bit confused.
"Why has this mutated plant gone mad?"
As for what Shen Wang guessed.
Seeing that the mutated plant was about to swing its vines behind it, Shen Wang immediately ran over to stop it.
He cut off several tendrils of the mutated plant in succession, and successfully diverted the plant's attention.
As for Ah Chu, after she chopped the 'green ball' with her axe, she didn't pause for long, but continued her attack.
The mutated plant was so entangled with Shen Wang that it was unable to spare any attention, so A Chu took the opportunity to 'disembowel' it.
When the luminous green crystal core was fully exposed, Achu stopped chopping and reached out to take it out.
The crystal core has green, spiderweb-like entanglements that are quite tightly adhered to it.
But who is Achu? She is a power-type ability user.
With just a little force, the crystal core was completely pulled out.
Almost instantly, the vines that had been waving and baring their claws shrank and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye...
The others were caught off guard and didn't react.
"It's...dead?"
"How did he die?"
"Could one of the vines be its Achilles' heel?"
"That's possible!"
While everyone was still speculating, Shen Wang had already sheathed his long sword and quickly walked towards the back of the dilapidated house.
Lin Xiangheng and the others instinctively followed along.
Shen Sui paused for a second, then followed.
"Mianmian!"
While Achu was still looking down at the crystal core, she heard Chen Wang's voice.
She looked up at him, her eyes sparkling: "Brother Chenwang!"
Ah Chu held the crystal core and jogged toward Chen Wang.
Chen Wang's face was cold, and his eyes were reproachful: "Why did you run to the back by yourself? It's too dangerous!"
When Ah Chu was scolded by him, the smile on her face disappeared, and her eyes reddened.
The initial surge of arrogance vanished instantly, replaced by helplessness.
"I just think your behavior is dangerous, I don't mean to blame you."
Achu's eyes were brimming with tears, and when she heard what Chen Wang said, she still pouted.
"I just wanted to help you..."
She opened her hand towards Chen Wang, revealing a luminous green crystal core in her palm.
It's about the size of a thumb, like an uncut gemstone that's just been dug out of a mine.
"What's this?"
Malt and the others crowded around, watching curiously.
Lin Xiangheng felt a strange attraction to the green stone.
"Did you take this from that mutated plant?" Lin Xiangheng asked Achu.
Achu nodded.
She sniffed, glanced at Chen Wang again, and cautiously said, "I went around to the back of the mutated plant and saw the round ball underneath it."
"I thought zombies die from brain damage, and that round ball might be the head of a mutated plant, so I chopped at it a few times, and then I saw this."
"As soon as I took it out, the mutated plant turned into that."
Maiya exclaimed, "Mianmian, you are so brave and clever!"
Xu Da nodded in agreement.
Lin Xiangheng also looked at her with praise: "Thanks to Mianmian, otherwise we don't know how much longer we would have been entangled with it!"
Malt: "Yeah! Those mutated plants are so weird. You cut off a vine and it grows back so fast. It's like you can't cut them all off!"
Looking at the green stone in Achu's hand, Shen Wang guessed that it might be the core that made the mutated plant more powerful.
He said to Achu, "Since you got it, just keep it."
Everyone else agreed.
After all, they didn't know what the green stone was for; maybe it was just for looks.
Chen Wang and the others examined the mutated plant again to confirm that it was truly dead beyond any doubt.
Xu Da possesses earth-based abilities, and he directly turned up the soil beneath the mutated plant, exposing its root system.
Then they discovered that there were many human skeletons underground beneath the mutated plant!
Everyone suddenly realized: "So the villagers were all eaten by this mutated plant!"
"How terrifying!"
"Luckily, our team is strong enough, otherwise we would have become food for these mutated plants too!"
"Yeah yeah!"
After checking that there were no other dangers in the village, Chen Wang used a walkie-talkie to call Yue Tingsong and Dr. Wang to come back.
Soon everyone returned one after another.
When Yue Tingsong returned, he was very curious and pulled Xu Da and the others aside to ask about the battle situation.
Malt immediately began to tell them the story vividly.
Then it tells the story of how Achu bravely and cleverly ran behind the mutated plants to launch a sneak attack.
Everyone was somewhat surprised.
After all, in their impression, Achu was far too timid and cowardly.
She was always protected by Chen Wang, so fragile that she seemed unable to withstand even the slightest wind or rain.
Now, she can even help kill mutated plants?
Yue Tingsong praised Achu without reservation, making her blush, and then stole a glance at Chen Wang.
When Shen Wang looked over, she quickly turned her head away.
Even someone who doesn't understand girls can tell that a young woman is angry.
He sighed inwardly, somewhat troubled about how to coax her...
