No, that's not right. He seems to have seen this ability before! But where did he see it? Sen Ran racked his brains but couldn't remember.
"What are you standing there for? Get out of the way!" Lin Yiran saw that the man opposite her was standing there in a daze, while the vines around him were approaching him like crazy, so she reminded him.
Sen Ran snapped back to his senses and saw that the vines had already reached him, baring their fangs and claws to absorb his spiritual energy. He didn't have time to think about anything else, so he took out a hunting knife more than a meter long from his Star Brain and used the most primitive tricks to deal with these troublesome vines.
With a large cleaver in one hand and a torch with blazing flames in the other, he forced the vines back. Although he didn't have Lin Yiran's special and peculiar abilities, his superb martial arts skills prevented these mutated plants from getting close to him.
Plants are most afraid of fire. Even the most evolved and powerful mutant plants cannot escape their natural enemy: fire!
After fighting for a while, Lin Yiran became a little anxious. The little bit of supernatural power she had left in her dantian was almost used up. She couldn't help but feel anxious because once the crystal core and supernatural power were used up, they would be gone. She still needed to use them to fight this mutated plant to the death later. Now she had to conserve her power as much as possible. It would be a bit of a fuss to rashly use her supernatural power on these troublesome vines that did not pose a threat to her.
When she saw Senran using a torch to deal with the vines, she thought that she should use a torch too, otherwise it would be a waste to use her superpower.
Lin Yiran quickly used her powers to get to Senran's side and joined him in fighting the mutated plant in front of them. It has to be said that with Lin Yiran's addition, the battle on Senran's side became much easier.
Do you have any torches? I can't hold on much longer. If you do, could you give me one?
Senran was still a little hesitant when he heard Lin Yiran say that. Such a powerful ability could only last for such a short time? He couldn't quite believe it, but he still handed the torch in his hand to Lin Yiran. After taking the torch, Lin Yiran also used fire to disperse the mutated vines, just like Senran.
This move has shown initial success.
Plants are terrified of fire, and this torch is even more useful than Lin Yiran's superpower. Wherever the torch passes, the vines scatter quickly, curling up together.
The battle continued, and Lin Yiran noticed that there seemed to be a red light flashing in the darkness in the distance. The red light was like a beating heart, flashing very frequently, and the red light emitted when it flashed could almost shine on Lin Yiran and the others.
The pitch-black sky, the eerie red light, and countless vines hidden in the darkness were relentlessly advancing towards them.
Before Lin Yiran could even think about where the strange red light came from, the red light receded like a tide in an instant, just as she was getting into the swing of things.
Vanished without a trace, and the frenzied vines disappeared in an instant, as if the battle just now was Lin Yiran's illusion.
"Huh?" Lin Yiran warily glanced at the surrounding darkness. After the red light disappeared, the only visible light in the vicinity was the lamp hanging on Sen Ran's body.
The lights continued to dispel the darkness around them, but the distance remained pitch black.
"What just happened? Why did those vines suddenly disappear?" Lin Yiran asked. "Did this mutated plant suddenly enter a dormant period?"
Senran nodded: "Yes, this mutated vine attacks every now and then to drive away and kill humans who invade its territory. The red light is the sign. When the red light comes on, the riot begins. When the red light fades, the vines also disappear. It's the riot period and rest period I just told you about. It appears irregularly, but now it's becoming more and more frequent."
"I have been here for almost two months and have encountered countless riots. The riots are unpredictable, but it is obvious that the intervals between them are getting shorter and shorter. We don't know when they will end, so we can only fight back with all our might."
Lin Yiran understood: "So, if we don't get out quickly, we'll encounter this plant riot again soon?"
Lin Yiran nodded, then frowned and clicked her tongue.
"This is troublesome?" This is a bit difficult. She's afraid of encountering another plant rampage and wasting her ability. What if these things rampage more and more frequently each time?
Sen Ran stared at Lin Yiran for a long time: "What kind of ability was that just now? Why could you manipulate knives?"
Lin Yiran came to her senses and didn't intend to hide it from him. She would definitely use her superpower to escape in a while, and the two of them would have to cooperate. There was no point in hiding it from him now.
"Ah, this?" she replied. "This is an ability I was born with. I call it a superpower. I discovered this ability when I was very young. It is the ability to manipulate any metal. Any object with metal in it can be controlled by me. I can point it and hit it wherever I want. What I just demonstrated is this ability."
"Knives are also a type of metal, so I can control them."
Senran was somewhat surprised, but remained relatively calm: "Special ability? The ability to manipulate metal... that's quite impressive. If you can get out, you can register at the Federal Star Guard Institute. Maybe you can find a good job there, and then you won't have to go to such a dangerous place to fight mutated plants."
They have such talented people in their intergalactic world, yet he knows nothing about them and hasn't even registered them. It's such a waste of talent.
Lin Yiran smiled and said, "Let's go out first. My ability, like your mental strength, has a limit, and it recovers very slowly. I already wasted some of it fighting those mutated vines. If there's a second riot later, I'll waste even more of my ability. That would be troublesome. I think it would be better to use my ability to deal with the core of this mutated plant. Let's go, let's not waste any more time."
Senran quickened his pace after hearing this.
Soon, following the faint, flickering red light, the two found the core of the blood-red mutated celery.
This core is truly enormous, hanging above them like a giant red crystal diamond, surrounded by dense vines, as if protecting it or resting within its territory.
Strangely, the red core really did beat like a human heart. When it beat, it emitted a faint red light, not very bright, but unique in the darkness.
This thing looks exactly like the heart that grew from this mutated plant.
"Would it be enough to just break this thing?"
Lin Yiran asked, "I can try going to such a high place, but..."
