This battle lasted for dozens of hours before it ended. Chen Yao led the team members from the gate of the base all the way to a forest eight kilometers away from the base.
After this fight, none of the superpowers in District 6 failed to admire Chen Yao.
They also intuitively felt the gap between their own ability levels and Shen Yao's, as well as the gap in endurance and leadership, etc.
In short, after this incident, they were completely convinced and recognized Chen Yao's abilities.
Because of this battle, Chen Yao's ability level directly rose from the fourth level to the fifth level, and she mastered more tricks and moves than before.
In addition, there are many more crystal cores in her space, both level one and level two, and it feels full enough to last for a long time.
Chen Yao grabbed a handful and put it in her hand to absorb it.
At this moment, she suddenly heard some strange noises.
“Shhh—Shhh—”
It sounded like the wind blowing through leaves, or like... the sound of vines crawling along dead leaves.
Almost the moment Chen Yao realized what was happening, she immediately ordered all the team members present to evacuate as quickly as possible.
But she herself stayed where she was and did not evacuate with them.
The sound of "rustling-rustling" became louder and louder.
The system told Chen Yao: "Host, this should be the sound of the vines of a huge mutant plant deep in the woods. It wants to come over and catch you."
Chen Yao raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Catch me? Turns out the target is actually me."
System: "Yes, it should have sensed the large number of crystal cores you collected, as well as your wood-type abilities and the soil and substrate planted in the space.
No matter which of these, it is full of temptation for it right now. Therefore, it is now testing and approaching you, hoping to take you down in one fell swoop."
Chen Yao was a little confused: "Logically speaking, shouldn't wood-type abilities be able to control and manipulate all plants? Then why can't my wood-type abilities control it now?"
The system replied, "That's because its current level is higher than yours, so... it will definitely not obey. Moreover, it wants to devour you to become even more powerful."
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Yao said, "There's nothing to research on the mutant plant at the base right now. If we can kill it, we can bring some of its parts back to the base for the experts to use in their research on inhibitory reagents. Who knows, there might be some unexpected research results.
And, to be honest, the crystal core in it should be of great help in advancing my wood-type abilities."
The system hesitated and said, "Although it is indeed as you said, it is quite dangerous, host. Besides, you are alone."
Chen Yao waved her hand calmly, continued walking forward, and said, "It's okay. Don't forget, I still have the barrier barrier. If I really can't deal with it, I can just use the barrier barrier to escape."
System: "Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that. Well, you better be careful then."
Chen Yao: "Well, don't worry, I will."
…
At the same time, all the members of District 6 who obeyed the evacuation order returned to District 6 as if they were fleeing. When they counted the number of people, they found that Chen Yao was not there.
Everyone:!!!
Isn’t Captain Shen following them all the time?
What's the situation now? Where is she?
Could it be that she was walking slowly and needed to wait a little longer?
Everyone suddenly felt a little uneasy, but even though all sorts of thoughts were running through their minds, they could only wait. So, everyone began to frequently look at the entrance, anxiously waiting, hoping to see that familiar figure soon.
At this moment, He Jingqian rushed over. They had successfully completed the task in District 1. After finishing, he immediately rushed to District 6 to see Chen Yao.
He carefully searched for Chen Yao's figure in the crowd.
However--
Didn't see her.
He asked a member of the nearest District 6 team: "Where is your Captain Shen? Why don't you see her?"
The team member who was questioned told him the details hesitantly. After listening to it, He Jingqian's face changed instantly.
…
This side of the woods.
Chen Yao finally found the true form of the giant mutant plant.
It can be seen that before the mutation, it was also a huge tree, but now after the mutation, its body has become even larger.
Coupled with the dense and thick vines that are now spreading, the overall look only makes people feel more creepy.
Sensing the approach of delicious prey, the vines of the giant mutant tree suddenly crawled more actively. They wrapped around Chen Yao without any hesitation, trying to grab her and devour her.
Chen Yao dodged the attacks of dense vines while grabbing the [psychedelic powder] and throwing it wildly.
Gradually, the vines' attack weakened.
Only then did Chen Yao walk towards the main trunk, grab a larger handful of psychedelic powder, and sprinkle it on it.
But unfortunately, at the moment she finished spreading the psychedelic powder, her left hand was tightly entangled by a thick vine.
She pursed her lips, remained calm, took out the machete with her right hand, and sawed off the entangled vines with force.
At this moment, her feet were entangled by new vines.
Chen Yao: ...
It turns out that although this psychedelic powder can work, its effect and duration are weakened.
She clenched her hands slightly and began to think about her next move.
…
At the base, He Jingqian's face was as pale as paper. He gritted his teeth and after getting the approximate location information from the team members in District 6, he was about to set out immediately to look for Chen Yao.
Behind him, some members of District 6 who wanted to go with him were stopped by him:
"She must have her reasons for asking you to evacuate, so you should stay in the base."
After saying that, he used his speed ability to speed up and set off without looking back.
…
Chen Yao has found a way to attack the giant mutant tree.
She directly used fire attack, changing different moves to attack it.
Finally, after it was obviously a little wilted, it switched to a thunder-based attack.
…
It was unknown how long it took before Chen Yao finally succeeded in killing it and taking out the crystal core from its body.
Finally, before leaving the woods, she cut off a lot of its branches and vines, threw them all into the space, and brought them back to the base.
