Chapter 229 Thorns (23)
Seeing the chaotic scene, Lan Jin used a small electric shock and with a flick of his hand, all the separated little lizards fell to the ground.
Looking at the huge disparity in supernatural powers, Lao Gao was speechless: "Why do I feel that except for Sister Lan's supernatural powers, ours are useless?"
Lan Jin disagreed, "No, you haven't mastered how to use it."
Although she herself did not master it, there was nothing she could do. The lightning ability itself was very powerful, and its power had been upgraded and increased a lot, so she had no natural enemy.
But the review she mentioned before is actually very necessary, both for her and the other three. Now that they know the existence of mutant creatures, they can't be as ignorant as before. Otherwise, the next time they encounter mutant creatures they have never encountered before, they will still be in a passive state.
No one would like this feeling, not just her.
But when it comes to this, Huang Jinghe can't help but sigh: "Fortunately, fortunately there are no zombies."
Zhang Ge didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Do you think this thing is easier to deal with than zombies? Honestly, zombies are obviously easier to deal with."
When I think about it this way, it seems to be true. If we turn back time to when everyone finished eating the insect powder, during the period when everyone was crazy, if anyone had superpowers, they would not be so passive.
But many things cannot develop as they wish, so it is really good enough to adapt to the times and find a way to survive in this chaotic world.
…
That's getting off topic.
After electrocuting the group of small lizards, Lao Gao and the other two immediately stepped forward and checked their skins. After finding no crystals on the outside, they cut open the lizards' stomachs again and searched for crystals inside. However, the strange thing was that there were no crystals on the small lizards' bodies, either inside or outside.
Brother Zhang asked doubtfully, "That's not right. How could there be no crystals? The big one has some. Logically, the small one should have some too. Could it be that I'm mistaken?"
But who would have thought that in just a blink of an eye, Brother Zhang actually saw a shiny third-level plant-type crystal on the upper jaw of the little lizard's mouth. He immediately laughed and said, "Wow, this crystal is hidden deep enough."
After all, no one expected that the crystal could grow to this place, and then the crystals on the upper jaws of the six little lizards were all taken away by the three of them.
The crystals were taken down, but Brother Zhang was troubled by the question of ownership. He had said earlier that everything in here belonged to them, but the base didn't have any plant-attributed crystals. On second thought, the four of them didn't really need these plant crystals, so Brother Zhang asked, "Do you need plant crystals? If not, I'll trade with you."
The four of them had no objection to the equal exchange of third-level crystals, and Huang Jinghe then exchanged for 6 third-level water crystals.
After packing his bag, Brother Zhang glanced at his watch and the sky. It was getting darker. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "It's getting late, but should we blow up everything here first and then go down the mountain, or come back tomorrow?"
Lan Jin said, "We should pass by a dense forest on our way back. Let's take a look at the situation first. If we have enough time, we can blow them all up at once. If not, we can only come back tomorrow."
Lan Jin really didn't want to go up the mountain again, but there are some things that you can't avoid doing just because you don't want to. The most important thing is to check the current actual situation and put safety first no matter what.
But after they walked for a while, they found that the plants in the half of the forest that had not been bombed were obviously much more "active" than when they first came in.
To use an analogy, it was as if they sensed that their friends had been "gashed" by someone, and they were looking for an opportunity to avenge them. In just a short distance, the five of them encountered countless difficulties and it was extremely difficult to walk.
Lan Jin looked at the situation and jokingly said, "If we don't deal with this, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out at all."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, a net made of many vines appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
Once upon a time, Lan Jin heard a story, which meant that small flowers and grasses are all living things, but they have no mouths and cannot speak. But if you put two identical plants in front of you, and you praise one plant every day, it will grow very well during its growth process, but if you scold the other plant every day, it will quickly wither and die.
So, although plants cannot speak, they can hear what they say.
And the net in front of them, isn't it because it heard what they said and came to catch them?
If it was just a vine net, there would not be any need to panic. However, when the net was formed in front of them, thorns quickly grew on the smooth vines. The thorns were long and sharp. If they got pricked by them, it would be no joke.
Brother Zhang, who was originally leading the way in front, immediately drove them back, while Lao Gao stepped forward and used his fire ability to buy them time to escape.
No matter how eager these plants were for revenge, they could not weaken the deterrent effect of fire. Originally, this thorny vine was about to touch them, but then Lao Gao used his special ability and they were immediately scared back.
Seeing this opportunity, Huang Jinghe tied a small explosive bow to one of the plants, and then Ling Jiang immediately sealed that place with ice. The group of five retreated while defending.
When the thorny plant was once again one foot and one meter away from them, Brother Zhang quickly pressed the button in his hand. With a "bang", the vine stopped extending, stiffened in mid-air for a while, and then fell to the ground.
But because they were too close to the explosive bow, the impact force really shocked the five of them. Brother Zhang even spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground, and then his whole body went limp.
Lan Jin quickly stepped forward to support Brother Zhang. Seeing that he was completely exhausted, she first looked around for the specific location, then said, "Xiao Huang, the exit seems to be not far away. We will send you out first. You take Brother Zhang down, and we will immediately blow up the other two places. We will make a quick decision."
Brother Zhang said: "But..."
"It's nothing, but if you go now, you'll be holding yourself back."
Lan Jin was afraid that Brother Zhang would continue to follow her, and if something really happened, she wouldn't know how to explain it to the other team members.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Huang Jinghe did not allow Brother Zhang to refute and directly carried him on his back.
Huang Jinghe was very strong, and it was no problem for him to carry Brother Zhang and their bags down the mountain.
As they ran towards the door, they urged, "I still feel something is wrong. Get in the car as soon as you get down the mountain. As soon as we get down, we'll leave quickly."
