Inside the passageway, which was over ten meters wide, the overhead lights on both sides illuminated every corner of the passageway. Dozens or even hundreds of superhumans were rushing towards one side of the passageway. In front of them were two enormous black panthers, each over twenty meters long, moving forward at lightning speed.
Lin Ruo didn't even blink. Just as she half-raised her hand in the air, countless ice spikes suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls and the ground. The densely interwoven ice spikes grew several meters in length almost instantly. The superhumans who rushed over didn't have time to dodge. They only had time to add a shield around themselves. Unfortunately, the shield was like waste paper in front of these ice spikes. It was completely useless and broke with a single puncture.
Without any suspense, all of these superhumans were impaled by the ice spikes that grew from all directions, turning them into honeycomb-like creatures. Large amounts of blood flowed from their bodies, dripping from the tips of the ice spikes onto the ground, forming a pool of blood at their feet.
Huang Changqi pursed his lips, his pupils trembling. He knew Lin Ruo's purpose in bringing him out; she wanted to show him her methods. The base he had painstakingly built over so long was utterly vulnerable in her eyes.
Indeed, that was the case; at that moment, his heart was pounding like a drum, and he was in immense agony.
He could sense that although the superpower she had just used was extremely powerful, it hadn't consumed much of her energy.
In the blink of an eye, he killed more than a dozen superhumans, and in such a painful way. The superhumans behind him stopped in their tracks when they saw this scene.
They swallowed hard, afraid that if they rushed forward, they would become the next skewer of ice.
As Lin Ruo moved forward, they began to retreat involuntarily, but they never turned and ran. They all had that toxin in their bodies and needed Huang Changqi to provide them with medicine. If Huang Changqi really died, none of them would survive either way. They were going to die anyway, which is why they hesitated.
Even the two black panthers sensed the absolute danger and stopped in their tracks before the area of ice spikes. They were almost pierced through the heart, and they were panting heavily, not daring to go any closer.
Lin Ruo didn't stop. Just as she was about to step into the area where the ice spikes had been, the dense ice spikes suddenly disappeared. The corpses that had been pinned to the ice spikes all fell to the ground in various positions, and the blood flowed out even faster.
As she walked past the corpses, Ah Liu extended her willow branch from her backpack and deftly extracted all the crystal cores from the minds of these superhumans, leaving none behind. Although the original owners didn't have many crystal cores that they could use, she couldn't let them go to others.
Willow branches rolled up the crystal cores and put them into the backpack behind Lin Ruo. This time she was carrying a hiking backpack, and the dozen or so crystal cores inside were barely noticeable.
The two black panthers belonged to Huang Changqi. When they saw Huang Changqi being hung in the air by Lin Ruo, their huge panther eyes stared fiercely at Lin Ruo, showing her hostility.
A-Liu in her backpack sensed the hostility of the two mutated beasts. It raised its willow branch above Lin Ruo's head, and its aura gradually increased. They were just two level 5 black panthers, yet they dared to lose their temper with their master.
Willow branches shot rapidly toward the two black panthers. Although the two mutated black panthers were agile enough to dodge the attack of two willow branches, countless willow branches then emerged from Lin Ruo's backpack. No matter how agile the two black panthers were, they could not dodge the attack of more than a dozen willow branches at the same time. Before they knew it, their legs were entangled by willow branches, and they staggered. The next second, they were tied up by the willow branches that followed, and could no longer move an inch.
Even after being bound, the two mutated black panthers refused to give up, struggling incessantly and threatening howls. However, the willow branches binding them were extremely resilient, and the more they struggled, the tighter the branches tightened. In no time, the branches were covered in bright red blood.
Seeing that Lin Ruo didn't seem to be stopping it, A Liu understood what Lin Ruo meant. She wrapped the willow branches around their necks several more times, tightening them more and more. If Lin Ruo hadn't told A Liu not to be impatient, these two black panthers would have already had their throats cut, and they wouldn't have been able to struggle for so long.
Lin Ruo was drooling over the flesh and blood of the two black panthers. Although her pets usually ate the flesh and blood of level 6 mutated beasts, there was a large group of gluttons in the mutated forest. In her eyes, there was never too much flesh and blood.
Knowing that there was still a pair of eyes in his way, Huang Changqi hadn't fully confessed yet and needed to leave someone at the B City base who could be questioned. So he couldn't die yet, but he also couldn't let the other person see him using his spatial ability.
With a mental scan of her surroundings, she flicked her finger, and Huang Changqi's head was instantly submerged in a water sphere. Caught completely off guard, he was bubbling and gurgling inside the sphere. The water was very strange; although it was transparent, Huang Changqi couldn't see or hear anything outside. His entire mind was preoccupied with figuring out how to breathe properly, and he had no energy to pay attention to anything outside.
He had just been watching how the mutated plant fought his black panther when he was suddenly attacked by the water ball. He didn't know what Lin Ruo was planning, but that didn't stop him from cursing Lin Ruo in his heart.
At this moment, Lin Ruo outside said to A Liu, "A Liu, make your move."
Upon hearing Lin Ruo's instructions, A Liu twisted the willow branches, and the two black panthers bound by the branches immediately died. Lin Ruo then put them into her spatial storage, as these were snacks to appease A Fu and A Shou, and she couldn't let them go.
She looked up at the superhumans who were being blocked by A-Liu. These people must have seen the two black panthers, which were so big, suddenly disappear. So none of them could be left alive.
With a gentle flick of her hand, a large vat made of black jade crystal appeared in the air. With a thought, the liquid inside the vat immediately gushed out. The vat, which was not large to begin with, began to expand as the liquid gushed out, and in the blink of an eye, it became a tsunami-like volume of water, rushing towards the superhumans.
When the superhumans saw the black panther disappear, they sensed something was wrong and turned to run. However, their speed was ultimately limited, and before they could even leave the long tunnel, they were caught up by the unknown liquid and all were swept into it.
This liquid was formed by Lin Ruo after removing the water from the acid rain he had collected earlier. Now, when he poured it out, Lin Ruo manipulated the water molecules to "dilute" it again. Even so, the acidity in this water was still extremely strong, and its corrosiveness was not much lower than that of the previous acid rain.
Those superhumans who were swept into the water only lasted a few seconds before being completely corroded, leaving only some shiny crystal cores floating in the water.
The water kept rushing forward, and none of the fleeing superhumans were able to escape; in the end, they all turned into crystal nuclei in the acid rain.
Lin Ruo sensed that another superhuman was approaching. With a thought, she quickly purified the acid rain again and stored it in a container, then put the large vat into her spatial storage.
In the blink of an eye, only those shiny crystal cores washed by water remained on the ground, nothing else.
