Chapter 182: Digging Up the Hometown

"Are you sure you remember correctly? Are you sure there is an HBP research institute here?" Xiao Yan questioned when he saw the endless desolate scene in front of him.

Upon learning that the HBP Research Institute was bombed by Chu Xi, Xie Ling still did not give up and asked Xiao Yan to bring a few earth-attributed psychics to dig at the original address. Even if they could only dig out a few words, it would be of great benefit to them.

After Xie Ling drew a tube of blood from Chu Xihen, he was temporarily fine. Xie Ling could study the blood for several days, so he and Chu Xihen personally brought Xiao Yan to dig up their old home buried underground.

When they arrived, they found that their hometown had been invaded by a large number of mutated plants. In addition, it had been snowing for the past few days, and large areas of plants were covered by the snow, as if a mountain had grown out of the ground.

"Could you have remembered your hometown wrongly?" Chu Xi gave Xiao Yan a sarcastic look.

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "You're right. I don't even remember where my hometown is."

Chu Xi was lazy to talk, pointing his little finger at the small snowy mountain in front of him, and said to the three earth-attribute esper who came with him: "It's here, let's dig!"

The earth-attributed mutants were brought here by Xiao Yan. They didn't know whether they should listen to a little girl, so they looked at Xiao Yan and waited for his instructions.

Xiao Yan said: "Dig, what are you looking at me for?"

After receiving the order, the three earth-attribute mutants stepped forward together and prepared to take action, first pulling out the mutant plants and then turning the soil.

"Wait a minute." Chu Xihen, who had been trembling since he landed, suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked.

Before leaving, Xie Ling gave him many warnings, saying that it would be okay for him to die, but Chu Xihen could not have any accidents, so he was now particularly nervous about Chu Xihen's every word and action.

Xiao Yan sometimes just couldn't understand why he died twice and made Chu Xihen into Xie Ling's love rival, but in the end it was all for nothing and Xie Ling didn't care at all.

Moreover, Xie Ling is a science madman. Any of his research subjects can be ranked before Xiao Yan, his bed partner. Xiao Yan can either not stand this anger and quarrel with Xie Ling, or he has to endure it obediently.

Xiao Yan, who had somewhat masochistic tendencies, chose the latter without hesitation.

"This mutated plant is still alive, be careful." Chu Xihen said, and pulled Chu Xichi back a little.

He was worried that the earth attribute mutant would be too arrogant and get ambushed by the mutant plants that were still alive and buried in the snow.

"Ah? He's still alive even after being frozen like this?" The earth-attribute psychic couldn't believe it.

The ability level of the three earth-attributed psychics who came here has just reached level five. Xiao Yan only brought them here to dig the soil. They are afraid that they will not be able to deal with the mutated plants that can survive in such a harsh environment.

So Xiao Yan made a gesture to them, asking them to step back and stand with Chu Xihen and his sister.

He held a white paper figure between his index and middle fingers and threw it onto the snow. The words "Wen Jian" were written on the figure.

As soon as the paper man landed on the ground, a cloud of black mist rose up and directly transformed into a big man over 1.8 meters tall. It was Wen Jian, Xiao Yan's former teammate.

Xiao Yan's special ability is mental attack. The mutant plant was in hibernation, just like it was dead. He couldn't even feel the danger, so he had to summon his dead teammates to deal with it.

Wen Jian is a person with metal-attribute supernatural powers. Once summoned, he did not need Xiao Yan to give any orders. He simply raised his hand and summoned dozens of swords, which stabbed towards the small snow mountain.

The mutated plants in the snow were attacked and immediately stretched out their branches and leaves into a pile, and a towering tree rose from the ground in an instant.

The branches shook, and the sword that Wen Jian had inserted into the branch was thrown back to where Xiao Yan and the others were standing.

Then, densely packed transparent ice leaves flew towards the living people present.

Xiao Yan and Wen Jian retreated quickly, causing the leaves to fall onto the snow.

But just for a moment after landing, the leaves flew up again, flying all over the field, just like Chu Xihen used his water-attributed supernatural power to transform into a butterfly.

The three earth-attribute esper and Chu Xihen's siblings all hid behind the helicopter.

Because the helicopter pilot was one of the earth-attribute psychics, they parked the helicopter on the snow and planned to drive back directly after digging something up, without the need for the Psychic Bureau to send someone to pick them up.

The icy tree leaves hit the fuselage, making a "bang bang bang" sound, and in the blink of an eye, the brand new helicopter was turned into a honeycomb.

"Oh my god, I thought the mutated plant was of wood attribute, so I summoned the Wen Sword specifically to deal with it. But it turns out that this thing merged with the ice and snow and became of water attribute. Our helicopter is gone!" Xiao Yan shouted while dodging.

Wen Jian controlled the flying sword to help him block most of the ice leaves, but the ice tree was obviously very angry that its good dream was disturbed. The ice leaves were as inexhaustible as the wind and snow in the sky.

Chu Xihen held a bow and arrow, originally aiming at the ice leaves in front of him, but because it was too cold, his hands were shaking and the arrow missed Xiao Yan's head several times.

"Xihen, is your aim okay? Do you still want me to die?" After being almost accidentally injured for the third time, Xiao Yan couldn't help but turn around and question Chu Xihen.

"Sorry, my hands are frozen." Chu Xihen's words sounded like an apology, but there was no trace of apology on his handsome face.

When Chu Xichi heard him say this, his eyes were filled with heartache.

Then she cursed Xiao Yan: "You piece of junk, your powers don't have any killing power at all?"

After she finished cursing, she activated her supernatural powers and flew into the sky on the half moon with her small body. She spread her arms and the moon blades circled in her palms.

Before sending out the moon blade, she first used her special skill [Phantom Pain] on the ice tree: causing the enemy to fall into illusory pain and collapse to death.

This was a special skill that Chu Xihen obtained when they cleared the third copy, but he did not learn it and left it for her. She had no chance to use it later on this journey. Now she made the ice tree hallucinate and think it was burned by fire. When it stopped firing ice leaves around, she threw out the moon blade to attack.

Xiao Yan on the ground raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw that she finally took action.

Then he felt a chill on his neck. Chu Xihen had pointed an arrow against his neck.

"Don't tease her!" Chu Xihen said coldly.

His hands were indeed cold, but not cold enough to cause them to shake like that when using a bow. He was just deliberately poking Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan's supernatural power is so lethal that he doesn't need to use it and just wants to wait for Chu Xichi to make a move.

This guy was seeking revenge on Chu Xishi for dyeing his hair a rainbow color, but he didn't dare to be too blatant, so he could only use this childish method.

"How can it be a joke? I just want to see the little girl's special abilities!" Xiao Yan said pretentiously.

Then he looked at the ice tree in front of him, "Look, your little girl is so strong. She beat the ice tree so hard that it couldn't fight back."

It was just as he said. Chu Xichi's moon blade was so powerful that it cut the leafy ice tree into a lonely popsicle in just a few strokes.

Seeing this, the three earth-attribute psychics who had been hiding here and there finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They all walked forward, ready to start digging as soon as Xiao Yan gave the order.

But the next moment, all the ice branches that were cut off by Chu Xizhi came back to life, shaking on the snow, and even the ground they were standing on began to crack.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and a large area of ​​the ground sank. Several people and the damaged helicopter fell down together...
