Ye Yiqing, who was running at the front, gradually slowed down and then stopped completely, standing still and staring straight ahead.
"Are we there yet?" Coco poked her head out to look ahead.
Then he froze for a moment.
Everyone except her, Hera, was stunned.
"Ah~ what~"
Ye Ciqing was entangled by more than a dozen vines.
His whole body was flushed, his eyes were glazed over, and he looked like he was completely drunk.
Coco's face turned red and then pale, and occasionally trembled. In short, it was extremely exciting.
Ye Yiqing wasn't much better off, forcibly suppressing her urge to sever ties with Ye Ciqing.
A sword aura slashed out, severing all the vines that were binding Ye Ciqing.
He immediately ran over, caught Ye Ciqing, and placed him steadily on the ground.
The severed vines did not wither; instead, they quickly contracted towards one spot.
Ye Yiqing reacted quickly, slashing out with his sword again, a shark fin-shaped sword aura flashing past.
Split the large rock at the source of these vines in two.
Strangely, the stone that had been split in two seemed to come alive and wriggled a couple of times.
Then it slowly dissipated, revealing its true form.
It was a huge pink flower bud, surrounded by vines about the thickness of a wrist.
"What is this thing..." Coco hid behind Hera, trembling as she looked at the flower bud-shaped alien that had been cut in half.
Ye Yiqing walked over, bent down, and plucked a pink petal.
The enormous petals were as big as a human face.
But less than ten seconds after being picked, it withered quickly in Ye Yiqing's hands.
In contrast, the two flower buds still growing on the ground were still oozing green liquid from their cut surfaces.
But there was no sign of it withering.
Ye Yiqing's eyes narrowed, and he reached out and grabbed the base of the flower bud.
Then he quickly got up and pulled hard.
The flower buds were pulled out, revealing several thick and vibrant rootstocks.
The rootstock is still connected to the ground at the end, so it is impossible to tell how long it is.
Ye Yiqing grabbed the rootstock with his other hand, just about to exert more force.
As if sensing something, the flower bud's rootstock quickly broke off on its own and then instantly shrank into the soil.
Ye Yiqing dropped the flower bud, took out a knife, and slashed the ground, leaving a cut more than ten centimeters deep.
But the rhizome still managed to escape.
"It got away." Ye Yiqing put down the knife and shook his head.
The flower buds on the ground, whose roots had already broken off, withered instantly.
"Huh? Huh! What happened?" Ye Ciqing suddenly woke up and looked around in confusion.
"Oh, you were just bewitched by the alien creature. Ye Yiqing just rescued you," Coco, who was sitting next to him taking care of him, replied.
"Ah?! What about that mutant? Did you kill it?!" Ye Ciqing tensed up instantly and quickly sat up.
“Uh… over there.” Coco pointed to the withered flower bud.
Ye Ciqing looked over, was first stunned, then realized something, and his body trembled violently.
"Then... well, tell me, what did you see me like back then..." Ye Ciqing's neck seemed rusty as he turned to look at Coco.
“Uh…” Coco turned her head away, her face slowly flushing red. “You were wrapped up in a bunch of vines, and you even looked like you were enjoying it…”
"Ah—!" Ye Ciqing suddenly clutched his head and roared to the sky, then jumped up in front of everyone.
It darted into the nearby bushes and ran for its life.
"Hey, little brother!" Seeing Ye Ciqing run away, Ye Yiqing reached out to comfort him, but stopped when he saw his retreating figure.
"Please don't tell anyone about my brother's matter today, thank you," Ye Yiqing said to the three of them, then bowed to them.
"good."
"No need to be so polite."
“Yes, we’re all friends, so of course we won’t say anything.” Coco waved her hand, and both she and Han Xiaoxiao felt that Ye Yiqing was being a bit too polite.
Only Hera, that stubborn fool, nodded in agreement.
"This mutant isn't dead, is it?" Looking at the withered flower bud, Han Xiaoxiao's eyes revealed disgust.
"Nine times out of ten, this is probably just one branch of it."
The only thing that's uncertain now is whether it has a subject at all.
"If there is no main body, and it is just many such flower buds intricately connected together sharing life, then it will be a bit troublesome."
At that moment, Coco and Han Xiaoxiao both looked at Hera.
“It’s just like me.” Hera’s words were exactly what the other two were thinking.
"Hmm? What do you mean, 'seems like'?" Ye Yiqing walked over.
Coco began to explain to him, "When you went hunting, Hera showed us her abilities."
It was discovered that as long as one part of her body tissue was intact, it could regenerate with the right nutrients.
"So, as long as there's one cell left alive, Hera won't die?" Ye Yiqing frowned slightly.
"Uh...you could say that," Coco said, somewhat uncertainly.
Ye Yiqing nodded.
"But at least we can now confirm that the strange flower bud should just be a 'murderous' level mutant."
Otherwise, with my brother's spiritual power at the 'Nova' level, he would probably have been killed long ago.
Then, as if remembering something else, he added...
"Also, there's that alien creature we encountered in the mist earlier. Its realm is probably also 'murder,' but within the same realm, its combat power is top-tier."
