Chapter 192: Still in a good mood
Hearing the banging sounds coming from the laboratory next door, and even feeling the ground shaking slightly, Xie Ling didn't say anything. When he turned around to look at the stone egg, Chu Xihen inside closed his eyes again.
Xie Ling thought he had just seen it wrong, so he stopped worrying about it and hurried to prepare new nutrient solution on the test bench. He followed Xiao Yan to the next room to rescue Chu Xichi.
If something happened to Chu Xichi and Chu Xihen woke up, they would have no explanation.
The two men came to the next room and heard something hitting the door from inside. They looked outside and saw that there was suddenly a bulge on the door.
"I'll take it in, you don't go in." Xiao Yan's heart was in his throat when he saw this.
Xie Ling was only a fifth-level psychic. If he went in and was slapped by Epiphyllum, he would probably lose half his life.
"Be careful." Xie Ling agreed and handed the large glass cup of nutrient solution to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan held the incense burner in both hands, took a deep breath and prepared to kick the door. Before kicking, he said to Xie Ling: "Stay away. The broken flower has very long arms. Don't get affected."
Xie Ling obediently moved to the side about a meter away.
Xiao Yan thought he was fully prepared, and then he raised his foot and kicked the heavy iron door.
The iron gate was kicked open easily, and Chu Xichi, who was hit against the door, was also squeezed behind the door.
"Master Epiphyllum, please calm down. I'll bring you some nutrients..." Before he could even utter the word "liquid", an Epiphyllum instantly enlarged in front of Xiao Yan's eyes, and then he was knocked away, and the nutrient solution in his hand spilled all over the floor.
The place where Xiao Yan flew out was right at Xie Ling's feet.
"Dr. Xie, you would die if you reached out to catch me when I'm so close? And you just watched me helplessly?" Xiao Yan lay on the ground, full of complaints.
Xie Ling stepped over him coldly and hurried into the laboratory to find Chu Xichi.
"Don't go in, that bitch is crazy!" Xiao Yan quickly got up and chased after him, as if if he was a second slower he would see Xie Ling flying out of the laboratory.
But the scene he imagined did not appear, because Xie Ling just saw Epiphyllum attack Xiao Yan and then ran to Laboratory No. 1, probably to look for the stone egg. With the stone egg, Epiphyllum would be particularly well behaved, and Xie Ling didn't have to worry.
He now wants to confirm whether Chu Xixi is still alive!
After entering the laboratory and looking around, Xie Ling did not find Chu Xichi. He turned to look at Xiao Yan with a serious expression, "Could the little girl have been eaten by that Epiphyllum?"
"No way? When Xi Hen wakes up, it will be the day of our death..." Xiao Yan didn't find anyone either, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
As the two were panicking, the door against the wall behind them was pushed open.
They turned around when they heard the noise and saw a girl wearing a black cloak and with a bruised face slowly walking out from behind the door.
"Where is that broken flower?" the girl asked in a gloomy voice.
"You...you are Chu Xishi?" Although the girl's face was covered with wounds, her facial features were very similar to Loli Chu Xishi, and she was still easy to recognize.
Xie Ling was shocked. How could a loli suddenly become a girl?
Xiao Yan's eyes widened as he said, "Didn't she get mutated by Epiphyllum?"
Chu Xizhi was filled with rage and had no intention of listening to what they were saying. After discovering that Epiphyllum was not in this laboratory, she walked out with murderous intent and entered Laboratory No. 1.
Xie Ling and Xiao Yan followed her in confusion.
As a top scientist and the second-highest ranked player in the infinite game, they had seen many big scenes, but this was the first time they had seen a loli being beaten up and turned into a girl.
At this time, the researcher who was using tools to open the egg shell in Lab 1 ran out in a hurry. When he saw Xie Ling, he said excitedly, "Dr. Xie, please come in quickly. The egg is about to crack open by itself!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Ling raised his legs and rushed forward.
Chu Xichi, who entered Laboratory No. 1 first, was also stunned at the door after seeing the white stone egg placed in the middle of the laboratory.
Several other researchers also stepped back, and everyone watched from a distance, not daring to get close.
It is true that the stone egg is cracking by itself, but the Epiphyllum suddenly runs back and sticks to the eggshell, trying to stretch its petals to bind the entire egg, in order to prevent the stone egg from cracking!
Chu Xichi originally came to seek revenge on Epiphyllum, but after seeing this scene, he forgot about taking action.
The main problem was that the Epiphyllum was clinging to the stone egg, whose cracks were getting bigger and bigger. Many of its petals were torn off, but it refused to let go.
The whole picture looked like a person's hands and feet were torn off.
"How come seeing it like this, I actually feel a little sorry for it?" Xiao Yan said softly.
Yes, he expressed the thoughts of everyone present.
They just think that the behavior of the Epiphyllum trying so hard to prevent the stone egg from cracking is tragic.
Knowing that you can't do it, you still try your best to do it.
Just like the world today, they are weak psychics ready to fight Xiao Chou.
The petals of the night-blooming cereus were torn off, and it immediately grew new ones. However, no matter how hard it tried, the stone egg eventually split into two halves, and it was directly pressed to the ground by one of the halves.
Chu Xihen, who was sitting in the middle, opened his eyes and stood up only when the eggshell was completely cracked.
"Brother!" Chu Xichi stretched out his hand and ran forward, wanting to hug Chu Xihen.
Unexpectedly, the Epiphyllum that was pressed under the eggshell struggled out, jumped onto Chu Xihen's shoulder, and raised its torn petals towards Chu Xihen.
Chu Xichi was a little traumatized by the beating. Even though she had changed into the body of a young girl, she still couldn't help but take a step back. But then she reacted and raised her hand to use her supernatural power on the Epiphyllum.
She looks like a young girl and has a wood-attribute ability that can suppress Epiphyllum.
"Stop it, Xie Xie." Chu Xihen stopped Chu Xi Xie's actions, then reached out and took the Epiphyllum off his shoulder.
When the Epiphyllum flew to Chu Xihen's shoulder, it became only the size of a palm, and its weight and feel were no different from those of an ordinary Epiphyllum.
Seeing how Epiphyllum behaved so well in Chu Xihen's hands, everyone else was amazed, and Chu Xihen also withdrew his hand.
"Brother, are you okay? What is that thing? It's okay for me, but Xiao Xi was beaten badly by it, and he was so angry that he didn't want to come out." Chu Xixi smiled slightly.
Loli Chu Xichi was really at her wit's end, so she called out the girl's figure to help her deal with Epiphyllum.
Chu Xihen shook his head. "I'm fine. I'm not feeling uncomfortable anywhere. I'm just a little hungry."
After all, I was locked in the stone egg for almost a day.
After hearing what he said, Xie Ling ordered the researchers who were opening the stone eggs with tools to go out first and get some food for Chu Xihen.
Then he walked forward and wanted to check Chu Xihen's body, wanting to confirm it personally before feeling at ease.
But the Epiphyllum didn't let him get close at all. It suddenly grew bigger in Chu Xihen's hand, and a thin and long petal was pulled towards him.
"Calm down, they won't hurt me." Chu Xihen gently plucked the petals of the Epiphyllum to make it calm down.
The Epiphyllum listened to Chu Xihen very much. It retracted its petals and behaved like a flower obediently in his palm.
"You guessed correctly. It is a mutant Epiphyllum that grows on that stone and has the supernatural properties to devour other things. As long as you don't get close to the stone, it has a good temper and won't actively attack people." Chu Xihen said.
Several people: "..."
Good temper? Do you want to say it again while looking at Chu Xi's weird pig face?
