Chapter 85 The beating green heart
Cheng Yao bent down and supported the ground with one hand.
Under her control, many hands formed from the soil suddenly emerged from the ground around the people. These hands quickly moved towards the roots, and
a huge force dragged the surging mutant roots. They stopped moving.
"If only I could make fire." Zhou Shuai launched an attack, and while releasing skills, he sighed, "It would be so much easier to burn them with fire."
"Our goal is to find the original body." Cheng Yao reiterated. If
the mutant plant body is not completely eliminated, even if this wave is killed, there will be another wave to come.
Zhou Shuai shut up: "Okay."
Several people have learned the basic tracking technique, but after all, they are not professionals, especially for mutants like mutant plants with many and complicated roots, it is even more difficult to start.
"Do you have any clues? I can't hold on any longer." After a while, Cheng Yao's head was covered with sweat.
She judged that this mutant plant was of a high level, otherwise she should be able to hold on for another ten minutes without any problem.
"No." Everyone shook their heads. A tree root has too many branches, and this place is full of plants. The underground world has long been tangled and complicated, and it is no longer possible to tell which is which. This difficulty is no less than finding a needle in a haystack
. "Can you guys do it?" Cheng Yao frowned, "I'll do it." Cheng Yao felt that there was something wrong with their tracking method. Tracking skills still depend on their earth elemental power. The positions of several people were exchanged. Cheng Yao wiped the sweat from her forehead, held her breath, resonated with the earth, and carefully felt the energy fluctuations of the mutated plants. After a while, she opened her eyes. Wen Renchao asked concernedly: "How is it?" Cheng Yao shook her head. Things are more complicated than she thought. Each tendril tracks to a certain position, and then starts to mess up when it moves, and it is impossible to distinguish. Everyone fell into a strange silence for a while. Three 3S, two double S, there is no way to take a mutant plant. If you tell others about it, they will be laughed at by other colleges. Without Cheng Yao's control, the mutant roots around twisted more fiercely. Cheng Yao felt for no reason that these mutant roots were laughing at them. In anger, he directly cut off one of them. As if she noticed the strange look of several people at her, she turned her head and said innocently: "It provoked first." Several people: "..." Really? ... Cheng Yao considers herself a very rational person. This is the first time she lost control today. She doesn't know what happened to her at that moment. After calming down, she pursed her lips and said: "Sorry." "Maybe it's not your problem." Jiang Ning stared at the mutant roots behind. Cheng Yao tilted his head: "What do you mean?" "From the time these mutant roots appeared to now, you are the only one who has been in contact with them the longest. You should have been affected by them." Jiang Ning said. It is not uncommon for mutant plants to affect people's emotions. She has many plants of this type. There are many ways for plants to mutate, such as changes in morphology, structure or physiological functions. Just as Zhou Shuai joked before. The plants summoned by plant-based mutants are essentially a kind of mutant plants, but they can be controlled artificially. Wait. Jiang Ning suddenly had an idea, and an inappropriate idea popped up in her mind. Since the essence of the two is the same, can she also try to use her superpowers to interfere with it in reverse? Jiang Ning felt that she was simply a genius. She let the little fat man spread his perception until she felt the effect gradually attached to her body, and then her mental power began to probe the mutant roots little by little. When it first came into contact with the mutant roots, it showed great resistance, and the whole thing was swaying violently as if it had gone crazy. Even Wen Renchao and Wei Shengyu who were attacking around could not get close for a while. Jiang Ning's eyes lit up. The more it resisted, the more it proved that perception interference was indeed feasible? Jiang Ning increased the output of mental power, and continued to harass the mutant plant, just as it quietly affected everyone. Under her continuous mental attack, Jiang Ning really found a loophole and successfully affected it. Many leaves suddenly grew out of one of the mutant roots, some large and some small, very irregular. Wen Renchao touched it, and the dull leaves were hard and brittle, breaking into pieces at the touch. This is tree madness, which means it has started to go crazy. Jiang Ning took the opportunity to dive into its rhizomes and traced the source of the plant pheromones. Soon he found a clue. "The main root system is in the underground world fifty miles east, and the depth is unknown." Jiang Ning told a few people what he had learned, "Preliminary judgment, its level has reached 3S level." Zhou Shuai was very positive: "There is no time to waste, let's go." "This is a 3S mutant plant, aren't you afraid?" Jiang Ning glanced at him strangely. Zhou Shuai: "With you here, what am I afraid of?" After he said this, everyone fell silent again. Zhou Shuai noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, and he asked uncertainly: "... Is there something wrong?" "Nothing." Cheng Yao spoke calmly, "After killing this 3S mutant plant, how are the six of us going to divide it?" This is a competition, and the result of the competition is the number of monsters hunted in the hands of the audience. This is not as simple as mutual help between acquaintances, and the relationship between the few people is a competition.
There was only one mutant plant, and there were six of them.
"I..." The little fat man raised his hand, "I can do without it."
"There are still five." Cheng Yao shrugged.
Except for Zhou Shuai, who was a little behind, the other four were almost equal in strength.
Cheng Yao was determined to get the first place, and Wen Renchao and Wei Shengyu were also unwilling to give in.
Jiang Ning supported his chin and made a suggestion: "How about dividing it according to everyone's actual contribution after the mutant plant conversion is completed?"
There is an important thing in the competition, that is, the conversion ratio.
Each level of alien beasts represents a different number. A-level alien beasts are used as the unit of measurement, S-level alien beasts are ten, double S-level alien beasts are twenty-five, 3S-level alien beasts are fifty, and those below A-level are discounted by half.
Therefore, every year, there is a saying among the freshmen: "If the level is not enough, we can make up for it with quantity."
Jiang Ning didn't need to say more, and everyone knew it.
After reaching an agreement on the division, the six people began to move forward to the east.
With the improvement of mental strength, Jiang Ning's perception of the outside world became more and more acute.
The closer the few people got to the main root system, the more humid the air around them became.
This is not a good sign.
She was afraid that it was like the M412 planet, with a death swamp inside.
Fortunately, she noticed that there were more than six of them around, and those individual soldiers also caught up, always keeping a distance from them.
Everyone hurried on the road at night, and inevitably slowed down a little. When they approached the destination, five days of the competition had passed.
This is indeed a swamp, but it is different from the Death Swamp.
The shallow beach is full of tender green plants, and hundreds of flying beasts are playing under a huge tree in the middle of the swamp like animals.
Jiang Ning was suddenly enlightened, as if she had returned to the previous world.
She stared at the scenery in front of her for a long time.
Until all the pure white birds turned their heads 180 degrees and stared at everyone in an extremely weird posture.
"Ga——"
It made a sound similar to a duck, and swooped down on the few people unexpectedly.
Jiang Ning reacted quickly and propped up the perception barrier.
By the way, he also protected the fat boy next to him.
The pond heron is an S-level monster, and the fat boy can't deal with it.
The fat boy also knew not to cause trouble for Jiang Ning, but quietly turned on his supernatural power and quietly assisted her.
Jiang Ning was busy summoning plants and cast an admiring look at the fat boy.
The fat boy is quite good!
Jiang Ning has a way to deal with birds freely, which she also realized in the simulation training.
She quickly merged the pepper with the dandelion, and then blew the dandelion gently.
Boom boom boom -
there were explosions all around.
"Damn, I want this skill too!" Wen Renchao said enviously.
He used space magic to quickly shuttle around. He thought he had killed fast enough, but he didn't expect Jiang Ning to stand there motionless and kill so many at one time.
Looking back at Wei Shengyu and Cheng Yao, one puppetry can control several pond herons at the same time, and one can release earth thorns at the same time to attack several alien beasts.
There were only him and Zhou Shuai, and not only was their attack speed slow, they could only attack one at a time.
Wen Renchao: "..."
After a lot of effort, the few people finally cleared the pond herons around.
What puzzled everyone was that the mutant plant did not take action during this period.
With a skeptical attitude, several people sent the fastest Wen Renchao to check.
Wen Renchao felt that his special ability was finally useful.
He flew above the mutant tree and looked down.
Then his pupils shrank, as if he saw something that shocked him.
Cheng Yao immediately flew to his side and looked down.
When she saw it, her expression froze instantly like Wen Renchao's.
One or two of them had this expression, which made the remaining four people shudder.
Jiang Ning asked Wei Shengyu to take him over.
What was reflected on the lake under the mutant tree was not its reflection. It was like a piece of glass, allowing people to see the world below through the lake.
Under the mutant tree is a huge, beating green heart, and the brown roots that attacked everyone before and the big tree in front of them are all tied to the heart.
In addition to the mutant roots and the mutant tree, there are many yellow, white, thick and thin rhizomes around the heart.
Several people followed these rhizomes and found that almost all the plants around were tied to it.
This, this, should we fight or not?
The expressions on everyone's faces were too rich, and the people outside the stadium were curious about what the six of them saw.
They asked Feng Yanzi to adjust the position of the miniature camera in the stadium.
Feng Yanzi did so.
Then.
Everyone outside the stadium looked at the scene in front of them in shock.
The contaminated area has always been mysterious. It is dangerous, but it also attracts people to learn more about it.
Now, a living heart has grown in the contaminated area.
It is obvious that half of the credit for the N001 area to be what it is today is due to it.
After everyone was surprised, a series of questions followed.
How was this green heart formed? How long has it been formed? Are other contaminated areas also repairing themselves like N001?
Feng Yanzi lowered her eyes, she was thinking about whether to continue the competition.
Now it seems that human activities have obviously disturbed it.
