"Escape?" Li Yun chuckled. "Don't say it so harshly. I just want to stay here. Otherwise, do you think they can really trap me?"

After these words were spoken, both Dr. Schmidt and Lu Ying felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

But Li Yun had no intention of explaining. He just stared at the handsome crimson demon opposite him and said with a smile: "But I am curious, you have already broken through the containment, why are you still wandering around Base No. 3?"

"With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to leave here during the chaos, right?"

The Crimson Demon looked at him deeply, then grinned and said, "As followers of the same great being, there is no need for us to use these false lies, right?"

Li Yun nodded in agreement, and suddenly switched to telepathy, sighing, "Your goal should be 2-088, right?"

The Crimson Demon grinned and said, "Sure enough, your target is also it. How about we join forces? I'll let you use it after I attract the Lord's attention, and we'll share this world equally, okay?"

"That sounds like a good idea."

Li Yun smiled and said, "However, I want to use 2-088 first. How about you queue up behind me?"

After hearing Li Yun's conditions, the Crimson Demon fell silent.

The two looked at each other quietly for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter.

Dr. Schmidt and Lu Ying were watching from behind, confused as to what the two were doing.

At this moment, the ground behind Dr. Schmidt exploded, and a thick vine with a diameter of more than three meters suddenly emerged and attacked the back of Li Yun's head like lightning.

“Puff——”

The ice-blue blade flashed, and the thick vines that were rushing towards him were instantly cut into two pieces.

The extremely low temperature icy force spread out, freezing the broken vine into an ice sculpture, which then fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

At the same time, Lu Ying had reacted before the ice sculpture fell.

He held the purple sword tightly in his right hand and held Dr. Schmidt's shoulders with his left hand. His skin was covered with purple veins similar to those on the sword. Then he bent his knees and jumped, and actually jumped directly thirty meters high, jumping onto the crystal chandelier on the top of the hall.

Dr. Schmidt barely managed to stand on the chandelier, then quickly lowered his head and looked down.

After cutting off the vines attacking from behind, Li Yun thrust the ice-blue sword into the ground with his backhand. Then, he pulled the vine that he had already controlled into his arms with his right hand. He wrapped his arms around the thick vine and pulled it hard.

"Bang!!!"

The floor and walls beneath his feet instantly collapsed, revealing the Flame-Eating Vine's main roots hidden deeper down.

At this time, the flame-eating vines had grown to a degree that even Dr. Schmidt could not help but be shocked.

Its main rhizome is at least fifty meters high, and the vines extending from the rhizome are even more densely packed, with at least hundreds of vines, large and small, added up.

The thinnest vine is at least twenty meters long and one meter wide.

The thickest vine is up to a hundred meters long and only about twenty meters in diameter.

After being violently dragged out by Li Yun, the flame-eating vines seemed to be enraged, with flames burning all over the body. Hundreds of tentacles danced wildly like a flaming demon, constantly smashing the surrounding floor, walls, and even the ceiling in front of Dr. Schmidt into pieces.

"boom--"

Another thick vine hit the ceiling next to it.

Lu Ying was shocked and immediately wanted to take Dr. Schmidt away from here.

But Dr. Schmidt stopped him and just stood on the crystal chandelier, looking at the battlefield below with a frown.

He has realized that Li Yun and the crimson demon both covet a certain abnormal containment object in the base.

How could he leave so easily before finding out which object they were coveting?

...Which object could it be?

Could it be 2-239?

No, no, no, the answer can't be that simple!

Dr. Schmidt above was racking his brains for a brainstorm, while Li Yun below was floating above the broken floor, quietly looking at the crimson demon with bat wings spread out, also flying in the air across from him.

"Since we can't reach an agreement, we'll have to resort to different methods."

The crimson demon had a hideous smile on his face, and without making any movement, the flame-eating vines behind him began to wave violently.

In the previous Pandora plan, Li Yun had come into contact with the flame-eating vines. On the surface, this thing could only absorb flames, but in fact, its judgment of flames was quite strange. Even Li Yun's nuclear energy was easily absorbed by the other party as flames.

Therefore, to some extent, this seemingly weak plant-like anomaly actually has some effect of restraining him.

The Crimson Demon took this factor into consideration, so he chose to control the Flame-Eating Vine and continuously feed it with flames after it broke through containment, allowing it to grow from a potted plant to its current size in just half an hour.

To be honest, if it was just the ability to devour flames, it would be fine.

Even if it is a true immortal plant, Li Yun has the confidence that he can use his energy to explode it.

But the problem is, this thing is an anomalous containment object!

Who knows if there is an upper limit to its flame-devouring ability.

If not, Li Yun would use all his strength to output nuclear energy, and it would probably make the flame-eating vines grow to the point where they would burst the entire earth soon.

Taking this into consideration, the nuclear energy capabilities cannot be used, and the spiritual consciousness is also difficult to release because of the Crimson Demon.

Therefore, all Li Yun can use now are his body and various strange treasures in his storage space.

But at the moment, Li Yun is just a clone, and the so-called physical body is actually made up of nuclear energy.

Therefore, when the power used by Li Yun exceeds a certain limit and activates the nuclear energy in his body, it will also be absorbed by the flame-eating vines.

Just like just now, he pulled out the flame-eating vine, and the nuclear energy in his body was quickly absorbed by the vine.

This also caused the vine to grow wildly, and in the blink of an eye it grew into the thickest giant vine that was a hundred meters long.

"So, the only external force left is the last one?"

Li Yun dodged the swing of the vines by leaning sideways, and inserted the ice-blue long knife into the vines with his backhand.

In an instant, the icy force spread, and a layer of white frost spread rapidly towards the roots of the vines with the blade as the center.

“Crack—Crack—”

The ice with white steam quickly wrapped around the entire vine, and then exploded into ice chips all over the sky amidst the violent tremors.

Countless tiny ice crystals reflected a strange light under the light, turning into a white mist that blocked the vision of Li Yun and the crimson demon.

At the same time, the frost that spread to the roots of the vines met the raging flames.

The two collided with each other and dissolved into each other, resulting in a stalemate for a while.

Li Yun frowned, loosened his right hand that was holding the hilt of the knife, dodged another flaming vine attacking from behind, then spread out his five fingers, and a golden sword engraved with a black dragon pattern appeared out of thin air in his palm.

"If one is not enough, then have another one!"

"This is the thing I don't lack the least!"

“Puff——”

The golden sword was inserted into the vine, and countless golden thunders burst out instantly, tearing the entire vine apart from the inside.

Afterwards, under the astonished gaze of Dr. Schmidt and Lu Ying, Li Yun below continued to take out one magical weapon after another from the void, which were enough to be considered abnormal by them.

Energy of various colors continued to bloom in the gaps between countless vines.

Among them, there was golden lightning that could not be absorbed by the vines but instead tore them apart, there was frost that could instantly freeze the vines, and there was also a sky-blue wind blade that could easily break through the vines' iron-like skin and cut them in half...

In addition, among the treasures Li Yun took out, there were some props with special powers.

For example, there is a long banner that can tear apart space, a bronze bell that can suppress flame-eating vines and so on.

These weapons and props have different abilities, but they all have one thing in common, which is that their energy levels are not very high. They are transitional equipment that Li Yun had used before, but have long been gathering dust in the storage space.

The reason for choosing this treasure is not because Li Yun does not have more advanced treasures.

But he was worried that using more advanced treasures would destroy the entire base and even the entire Pacific Ocean.

By then, the anomaly that was contained with great difficulty will break out of containment.

The destruction of some of the contained objects may also cause unpredictable and horrific consequences.

At this moment, Li Yun finally understood the tiredness that Bai Lang and Yamu had experienced back then.

The feeling of 'the earth is so fragile' really resonated with Li Yun at this moment.

"boom!"

There was another roar, and the golden dragon-patterned sword pierced into the main root of the flame-eating vine.

The violent gravitational thunder burst out from the blade crazily, constantly tearing the body of the flame-eating vine, causing countless dense golden cracks to appear on its surface.

Not long after, Li Yun drew out his sword, raised his hand and took the only vine seed left after it turned into ashes into his palm.

Around him, the base hall, which had been bright before, had turned into ruins, with countless remains of flame-eating vines scattered everywhere, constantly collapsing under the influence of various energies and eventually turning into ashes.

Apart from its ability to absorb flames, the Flame-Eating Vine is actually a growing plant monster.

With Li Yun's strength, it would be easy to deal with even if it was just a clone.

After collecting the seeds of the flame-eating vines, Li Yun turned his head and looked at the crimson demon flying in the air not far away.

The crimson demon looked at Li Yun in astonishment, as if he didn't expect that he could get rid of the flame-eating vines in such a short time.

“This…how is this possible?!”

A slightly exaggerated exclamation came from the crimson devil's mouth.

Li Yun frowned and was about to speak when he saw the crimson demon smile strangely.

"Did you think I would say that?"

Hearing the words of the Crimson Demon, Dr. Schmidt above was slightly startled.

Then, the entire base suddenly began to rumble and shake.

Looking from the outside of the base, one can see that the seabed where the base is located suddenly cracked into huge grooves and cracks.

An incomparably huge horn, as if made of steel, emerged from the soil and rocks on the seabed and pierced through the entire base building from bottom to top with ease!
