After Ah Liu's willow branches stretched out, they could clearly see its original appearance. Wasn't this the big willow tree they had seen on the transport plane before? It turns out it could shrink to such a small size.
Involuntarily, Ah Liu's nearly 100-meter-tall figure came to mind again, and looking at the tender branches in front of him, he was filled with amazement.
They had many questions in their minds, but they also knew their limits and didn't intend to get to the bottom of things.
“The crystal core is correct,” Lin Ruo put the bag directly into her backpack, looked up at Jiang Yue and said, “Since your reward has already been paid, I will wait a little longer before going to the Qi family.”
At this moment, Chen Yu stepped forward, pondered for a moment, and said, "Lin Ruo, we'd like to make another deal with you. We can pay you more ability crystals. Would you like to hear about it?"
Lin Ruo quickly shook her head. Her current power crystal cores were enough for her to skip two levels and upgrade to level 9 power. If she took more power crystal cores, her mental strength growth rate would not be able to keep up, so it would be useless.
"I have enough superpower cores in my hand, and I don't want to cause myself any more trouble."
Although Lin Ruo didn't know what they were after, she was certain that this matter was related to them and these forces. She really didn't want to get involved, and the best way was to stop in time.
But Chen Yu was a little anxious. "We can pay other rewards, whatever you want is fine. This time the base commander was injured and needs to go to Qiyuan Base for treatment. We are really worried about him, so we want you to protect him."
Lin Ruo shook her head firmly after hearing this, saying, "This is a matter between you and Qiyuan Base, a matter between your two bases. Don't involve me."
“But you’re already involved,” Chen Yu said urgently, his gaze fixed intently on Lin Ruo. “A week ago, you helped us kill so many of the Qi family’s ability users. Don’t you know what other helpers or forces the Qi family has around them? Do you know what these forces are about to do to you?”
Lin Ruo narrowed her eyes slightly. "I'm always welcome."
Chen Yu opened his mouth as if to say something, but Jiang Yue grabbed his arm from behind. Chen Yu turned to look at Jiang Yue, who gently shook his head at him.
Lin Ruo's attitude was already very firm, and Jiang Yue had already sensed a hint of displeasure in Lin Ruo's expression. If Chen Yu continued, the talks might very well fall apart.
Seeing that they had nothing else to do, Lin Ruo waved to them, "Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Jiang Yue nodded immediately, "Sister Ruo, have a safe journey."
After watching Lin Ruo's figure quickly disappear into the darkness ahead, Jiang Yue turned to Chen Yu and said disapprovingly, "We've already said that whether she agrees or not depends on her own wishes. What were you about to say? To force her with the current situation?"
Chen Yu sighed. He knew he shouldn't have done it, but he really couldn't find a better candidate than Lin Ruo.
Jiang Yue turned to look at the darkness where Lin Ruo had disappeared. "She's a free spirit. You want to tie her to our ship? Aren't you afraid she'll blow it up too?"
Chen Yu didn't speak. After a long while, he sighed deeply, his voice tinged with weariness. "I was just confused in my haste. Let's go back and discuss other methods."
Lin Ruo did not linger at the B City base. She quickly returned to her car and drove away from the B City base.
She drove, with A-Liu's willow branches sticking out of the car window. Although the contrast between the emerald green color and the silver-white car body was still very obvious under the hazy moonlight, this small branch made the surrounding mutated plants behave like obedient children, and they did not encounter any attacks along the way.
Lin Ruo rested one hand on the steering wheel and the other on her earlobe, her mind racing with thoughts of Chen Yu's actions and unspoken words from earlier that day. A cold glint flashed in her eyes. It seemed that the B City base was indeed surrounded by wolves during this trade conference; otherwise, Chen Yu wouldn't be so flustered.
Yang Songming, that old fox, would love for all three of them to die so he could get to the B City base. Why would he obediently treat Ye Lin's injuries?
The Qi family, the Qiyuan base... and countless other forces are tied together, all undoubtedly wanting to take a piece of the behemoth that is the B City base. It's just a matter of how strong their teeth are.
After thinking for a while, Lin Ruo pulled herself together, skillfully drove around a boulder, and decided to ignore their concerns. If these forces really thought that she was one of them because she helped the B City base, then let them come looking for her; she would genuinely welcome them.
She drove back to the junction of the two mountain peaks. The sky was already beginning to lighten. Lin Ruo looked at the time displayed on the car. It was only four o'clock. She frowned slightly, feeling that the time of dawn had come a little earlier than before.
The same thing happened at this time in the previous life. As time went by, it got light earlier and earlier, and the weather got hotter and hotter. At the shortest time, the night only lasted five hours before it got light again. The prolonged high heat caused many people to lose their lives because they could not adapt. That's why many bases were forced to build underground bases.
It was already daylight, and we had to get back to the fortress as soon as possible, or we would have to endure the scorching heat again.
She pushed open the car door, jumped out, and just as she put the entire car back into her spatial storage, Ah Liu's willow branches emerged from her backpack. Dozens of huge willow branches emerged and quickly wove themselves into a small boat on the water.
Another willow branch pushed Lin Ruo's back, propelling her forward.
Lin Ruo nodded. It seemed that A Liu wanted to take her there. She quickly jumped onto the small boat made of tree branches. The boat was very stable, without any shaking or water seeping in, which showed that A Liu had woven it very finely.
Seeing that Lin Ruo was already standing still, A Liu quickly slid its willow branches across the water at a very fast speed.
As Ah Liu rowed the boat, she gently swayed her willow branches in front of Lin Ruo, as if seeking praise.
Lin Ruo smiled and nodded, "A Liu is really amazing. It seems that our A Liu has many abilities that I don't know about."
Ah Liu swayed her willow branches more vigorously and rowed harder, the small boat creating ripples on the water, and soon reached the other side.
"Let's go, A-Liu, let's go back and absorb the crystal core."
