Xia He responded swiftly, wielding her Green Dragon Crescent Blade to slash at the tree branch. However, the branches of this mutated plant were unusually agile, sometimes dodging and sometimes striking swiftly, clearly different from the giant mutated plant she had encountered before.
"Be careful, this thing is even more cunning than the previous one!" Xia He warned.
Xiao Lin concentrated his spiritual power and launched an attack on the tree branch. He attempted to disrupt the mutated plant's movements through a direct impact of spiritual power. However, the mutated plant seemed to have some immunity to spiritual power; the branch remained agile and unaffected by the attack.
A fierce battle unfolded between the two in the corridor, with them dodging and counterattacking at different times. The branches of the mutated plant sometimes entangled and sometimes lashed out, putting considerable pressure on Xia He and Xiao Lin.
Xia He suddenly noticed that the branches of this mutated plant were also covered with structures similar to crystal spikes. Although they were not as hard as the previous mutated plant, they were still enough to defend against their attacks.
"This guy's mutation level is even higher, we need to be careful." Xia He gripped the Green Dragon Crescent Blade tightly in her hand, her eyes flashing with unwavering determination.
Xiao Lin nodded, and they cooperated tacitly, using a combination of spiritual power and weapons to try to find a weakness in the mutated plant. In the fierce battle, they gradually figured out some of the patterns of this mutated plant, discovering that there seemed to be some kind of weak point at the intersection of its branches.
"Attack that intersection; its branches might be disrupted!" Xiao Lin shouted.
Xia He quickly adjusted her attack target, slashing her Green Dragon Crescent Blade at the intersection of the mutated plant's branches. A violent tremor resounded, the mutated plant let out a sharp roar, and the branches' flexibility noticeably decreased.
At this moment, Xiao Lin seized the opportunity to unleash a spiritual attack, directly striking the mutated plant's weak point. The mutated plant emitted a loud bang, and its entire branch snapped off instantly, falling to the ground.
However, just as the branch snapped, it recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye in Xia He and Xiao Lin's eyes, and new branches grew back. The two of them couldn't dodge in time, and the branches instantly wrapped around Xia He and Xiao Lin!
Gradually, Xia He felt her breathing become labored, and a sense of suffocation quickly overwhelmed her. She instinctively struggled, trying to break free from the rapidly growing branches. Xiao Lin also felt his spiritual energy encountering immense resistance; both of them were bound by the mutated plant's branches and trapped in a predicament.
"This thing can actually heal itself so quickly!" Xia He said through gritted teeth, swinging her Green Dragon Crescent Blade repeatedly, trying to cut off the branches wrapped around her. However, even if she cut them off, the branches would quickly regenerate, making it impossible to break free of her restraints.
Xiao Lin exuded spiritual power, trying to break free from the branches with his strength, but the mutated plant seemed to have a certain immunity to spiritual power, making his efforts quite difficult.
Suddenly, Xia He had a flash of inspiration. She remembered the crack she had found at the junction of the mutated plant's trunk. Perhaps that was still the mutated plant's weak point.
"Xiao Lin, concentrate your attack on that connection point!" Xia He shouted urgently.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin immediately concentrated his spiritual power, focusing his gaze on the joint between the trunk and the mutated plant's branches. He unleashed an attack using his spiritual power, striking directly at the crack. The mutated plant let out a sharp roar, and the restraints on the branches loosened slightly, allowing Xia He and Xiao Lin to seize the opportunity and quickly break free.
"Let's go!" Xia He pulled Xiao Lin, and the two quickly rushed out of the trapped area, avoiding the entanglement of the mutated plants.
They hurriedly fled deeper into the corridor, but as time passed, Xia He and Xiao Lin gradually discovered that there were more and more mutated plants in the corridor. The vines on the walls mutated into huge tentacles and attacked them, while the vines on the ground grew rapidly as if they were alive, creating a difficult situation.
"There are too many mutated plants here, we need to find a way to break through!" Xiao Lin frowned, they were trapped in a hostile green sea.
However, before the two could find a way to break through, a cloud of smoke spread from the flower of a mutated plant. When the two attacked the mutated plant, they could clearly feel that the mutated plant did not have a strong killing intent towards them. Instead, it wanted to capture them alive!
The two exchanged a quick glance, understanding each other's thoughts. Without prior arrangement, they inhaled the sleeping powder and then collapsed to the ground.
After the two men fell to the ground, a hoarse male voice rang out, "Hahahaha, not bad, not bad! It's been a long time since we've seen such promising humans! Goodness! Tie these two up and take them to room number 2! Hahahaha!"
The two could no longer communicate telepathically. Although Xia He and Xiao Lin were both pretending to faint, it had to be said that the mutated plant's sleeping gas was quite potent. If Xia He and Xiao Lin hadn't been extraordinary beings with superhuman abilities, their spiritual bodies would have been far superior to those of ordinary humans, and they would have actually been knocked unconscious by the gas.
However, at this point, the two were merely pretending to be unconscious; they were still fully conscious.
Xia He felt herself being hung upside down on something. In order not to expose herself, she resisted the urge to open her eyes. At the same time, she felt the thorns of the mutated plant constantly pricking her. "Damn it, this thing is dead! It dares to prick me!" Xia He couldn't help but curse in her heart.
Furthermore, the two people are currently hanging upside down, their entire bodies wrapped from the shoulders down to their ankles, with a vine extending from their ankles as a hook to suspend them.
A moment later, the two felt themselves being thrown onto an experimental bed. They remained motionless, wanting to see what the man from before was planning to do.
Time passed slowly, and the vines still clung to the two of them, but no one came to help.
