A flash of green light appeared on the Devouring Tree, and countless black and white roots broke through the obstruction of the rocks to emerge from the ground, binding the limbs of the two mutated elephants and fixing them in place.
"How annoying."
The Devouring Tree muttered something, and suddenly sharp, hooked thorns sprouted from its trunk, branches, and leaves. The branches moved without wind, as if they were alive, and attacked the mutated elephant with menacing barbs.
The two mutated elephants struggled frantically upon seeing this, but the more they struggled, the tighter they were entangled.
The next second, the thorny branches arrived as expected, and the skin on the mutated elephant, which even artillery shells could not penetrate, was easily broken through by the sharp thorns and pierced into the flesh.
"Moo!"
Despite the excruciating pain, the mutated mother elephant curled her tongue and began to gnaw at the branches and leaves of the Sky-Devouring Tree.
"Ugh," the Devouring Tree said with disgust, pulling out a branch and then lashing out with its whip, "Your saliva is disgusting."
Banxia, sitting quietly on a branch of the Devouring Sky Tree: "...Tiantian, didn't we agree on one elephant per person?"
The Devouring Tree moved too fast, leaving her no time to attack.
"Ahem," the Devouring Tree said somewhat guiltily, "Why are we being so polite? It doesn't matter who fights. Can you just absorb the Public Image Crystal Core?"
"Um."
Banxia reached out and took off her hat, untied her hair tie, and her loose hair quickly grew long, like a serpent, with the ends of her hair piercing straight into the flesh of the mutated male elephant.
The person and the tree fell silent, quietly absorbing energy.
The fifth-level mutated elephant had abundant energy. In just a few seconds, the Devouring Tree and Banxia's hair turned into an eerie blood red.
The crowd on the city wall, observing the commotion through binoculars, felt a sudden jolt of fear. What kind of supernatural ability was this?
"Base Commander..."
The deputy base commander hesitated and looked at Yan Ning. Logically speaking, the other party had just helped them, but this scene was too bizarre. Was this still human?
“Lu Hai!” Yan Ning interrupted sternly, “This is our comrade-in-arms who fought alongside us!”
"yes!"
Lu Hai lowered his head in shame.
Nanxing and Yinzi, who were not far away, simultaneously looked away. Yinzi leisurely licked her paws. When will the little kitten be as powerful as her older sister?
The white wolf secretly glanced at the silver, then took small steps and squatted down next to it. The cat is so cute!
Silver, looking disgusted, shrank and leaped into Nanxing's arms, an ugly rejection!
"Tian Tian," Ban Xia yawned, tossing the dead elephant into her spatial storage, "I'm all better now, let's go home."
"Hehehe!" The Devouring Tree, having absorbed the energy first, happily waved its branches. "Tonight we'll eat bear paws!"
"No!" Banxia firmly retorted, "Nanxing must be tired, let's do it tomorrow!"
"You're being biased," the Devouring Tree snorted, "when we're clearly one!"
Banxia, as usual, switched to her "balancing act" mode: "You are my best partner, and Nanxing is my most beloved person. You are both equally important to me!"
"You're lying to me! You clearly like Nanxing the most!"
...
Banxia declined Yan Ning's invitation to dinner, put all the furry creatures into her spatial storage, and went home arm in arm with Nanxing.
Logically speaking, a beast tide usually lasts from three days to half a month, but after the first day of the beast tide ended, no more mutated beasts attacked the base, leading many to secretly guess that they were intimidated by Banxia.
Banxia, too lazy to care about the storms outside, rested with Nanxing for a day. Under the pretext of finding a place to dispose of the mutated beast's corpse, she drove out of the city, found a deserted place, entered her space, and directed the mutated monkeys and mutated gorillas to do their work.
The mutated monkeys and mutated gorillas have a real passion for cooking; they are not only impatient but also wish they could stay up 24 hours a day to deal with the mutated beasts.
Banxia wasn't a farmer or capitalist who exploited his underlings. He would work eight hours a day and then chase away the animals, so his work efficiency wasn't high. After a full half month, he had only managed to deal with the mutated bear, the mutated tiger, and the two mutated elephants.
Nanxing looked at the mountain of mutated beasts and birds with a headache: "There are too many. It will take a year to deal with them all."
Banxia turned her head and kissed him: "Keep a few with nice fur to make blankets, and dig out the crystal cores of the rest to sell to the base."
The mutated animals that attack the city live in the wild. When hunting, they inevitably fight and struggle. Most of them have scars on their bodies, and their fur is of very poor quality, so they are not of much use.
"Apricot," Banxia called to Apricot, who was passing by, "Time to get to work!"
"Yes, boss!" Xingzi grinned obsequiously. "I'll go call the Spitting Watermelon King!"
It finally has a subordinate it can exploit!
Speaking of the squirting melon king, Banxia remembered the squirting melons she had collected before, and decided to go back and ask Yan Ning if he would take them. If he did, she would simply pack them up and sell them to the base!
Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the thorny issue was finally resolved: "Wife, I'll go cook, you go play over there."
"Bear paw?"
"Yes, I've found the recipe."
Banxia was a little curious, so she quickly followed behind him.
To be precise, what Nanxing found was a video, and it is said that the blogger's ancestors were imperial chefs, and this method was passed down from his ancestors.
"Plucking the hair and washing it clean, then making several horizontal cuts on the back..."
Upon hearing the words "several cuts," Banxia promptly shoved the tablet into Nanxing's arms. Why couldn't they just say how many cuts there were?
She hugged Nanxing's neck and kissed him: "I'm going to find Yinzi to play with. You've worked hard, honey!"
"Good girl," Nanxing pinched her cheek. "Okay, I'll call you."
Silver and the others were probably playing with the mutated animals at the ranch again. Banxia found an electric scooter and slowly rode over. But to her surprise, not only were Silver and Gold nowhere to be found, but even the white wolf, who usually loved to roam around the ranch, was nowhere to be seen.
Banxia thought for a while, then changed course and went to the forest to find the mutated eagle couple.
