Time and Space Management Bureau: Live broadcast with Dingliu in the end of the world

The teammates inside the ring of fire inexplicably narrowed their eyes upon seeing Bai Mengyan's clean and efficient movements, their hands gripping their weapons so tightly they cracked.

Bai Mengyan's gaze never left the vines entwined on the main branch. Holding the cut banyan branch in her hand, the mutated vines showed no change, as if they were completely oblivious.

Now Bai Mengyan had her answer. She brushed all the leaves off the branch, leaving only two or three at the top.

She looked at a spot half a meter above the banyan tree trunk, where there was a slightly raised bump in the moss and vegetation on the ground. Judging from the tangled veins of the vines, it was probably the root of a vine.

The leafless branch, like a sharp sword, was precisely shot by her onto the mound of earth.

A whooshing sound came from the air, and everyone's gaze followed the tree branch to the mound. Sure enough, something inside the mound seemed to have been pierced.

A cloud of smoke rose into the air, and soon rustling sounds came from all directions, sounding like snakes crawling.

Within seconds, one lush green vine after another broke through the soil from beneath the moss and vegetation, climbing up the branch with only a few leaves from different angles.

Then, a chilling scene unfolded: the three remaining thick leaves at the tip of the branch, each larger than a palm, withered visibly, their life force drained away, and finally turned into dead leaves that fell to the ground.

Bai Mengyan narrowed her eyes. "Sure enough, it wasn't the banyan tree that truly drained the nutrients, but the vines."

After putting this idea into practice, Bai Mengyan used a "flash" to return to the fire circle.

"Brother Rabbit, did you notice anything just now? Can you tell where the energy source of the vines is located?"

The rabbit interrupted the effect of its superpower. "No, the energy isn't being used, so there's no way to track it. It's much more cunning than the mutated banyan tree. It disperses its energy in all directions before concentrating its attack, making it very difficult to trace the source. We need to create a bigger commotion."

Bai Mengyan nodded to indicate that she understood. "The tree crystal of the mutated banyan tree has been obtained by Team Leng. He is currently trying to imitate the state of the mutated banyan tree as closely as possible to prevent the mutated vines from going berserk. In fact, the banyan tree can no longer pose a threat to us. What we need to do is find the crystals formed by the vines."

Snow Leopard glanced at Su Jiancheng and asked in a low voice, "Won't our probing threaten the boss? He's tied up there and can't move."

Su Jiancheng was clearly very satisfied with the snow leopard's question, and stared at Bai Mengyan with a probing gaze, hoping that she would give a convincing reason.

Cheng Kaixi glanced at the snow leopard with dissatisfaction, then stood in front of Su Jiancheng and said, "Is Captain Leng a paper tiger? Does he need us bunch of idiots to save him? If you have different opinions or plans, just raise them. There's no need to use other people's words to raise questions. Wasn't what Xiao Yan just did risky?"

"If we don't dare to take any risks, what are we doing here? We might as well become their fertilizer."

Su Jiancheng's gaze gradually turned cold. After a brief eye contact with Cheng Kaixi, just when Cheng Kaixi thought Su Jiancheng would not back down, Su Jiancheng suddenly smiled.

"What are you saying? The information that the little princess risked her life to bring back is very important to us. We should listen to the little princess. The boss must have known that we have a way, which is why he was able to go into a deep sleep. This is also a kind of test."

Su Jiancheng used a smiling face to defuse the cold atmosphere, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She took what she had just said as a perfunctory remark and didn't bother to argue with Cheng Kaixi.

Bai Mengyan didn't say much, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "As long as he doesn't immediately escape with the tree crystal, I think the mutated vines shouldn't attack him."

"Enough with the small talk, let's give the mutated vines some appetizers to warm it up. Black Hawk, go play with it. Rabbit, keep an eye on things."

Black Hawk gave a sinister smile. "No problem."

Black Hawk and Rabbit nodded to each other, and then Black Hawk turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The black smoke drifted to the open ground outside the circle of fire before gradually gathering to form the shape of a black eagle.

As soon as Black Hawk landed, the vines that had sprouted from under the moss and vegetation stirred and quickly approached him from all directions like dragons.

Black Hawk was, after all, a blood slave transformed through Leng Yuexiu's Wu Qi Pill. The dark source power of the shadow element in his body was all obtained from Wu Energy, so he was not afraid of the vines climbing on his body and sucking his blood.

The mutated vines might become stronger with Black Hawk's blood, but Black Hawk can fully activate the energy. Compared to his teammates, the tentacles of the corrupting vines are more at ease and have fewer concerns.

With this connection, the teammates in the fire circle weren't too worried.

Bai Mengyan piled up the leaves she had just picked from the banyan tree branches, her eyes narrowed, and several knife marks appeared on the large leaves, cutting them into diamond-shaped fragments.

Seven or eight leaves, after being processed, became a large bunch. When Su Jiancheng saw it, the corner of her eye twitched involuntarily.

If these rhomboid fragments were empowered by spatial forces, so many of them flying out would surely cut the mutated vines into pieces.

On the other side, Black Hawk didn't wait for the mutated vines to climb up. He moved his feet and started running on the soft vegetation and moss.

He wasn't moving fast; it seemed he was deliberately testing the waters. The vines, moving at a slower pace, changed direction to track the black eagle.

Black Hawk's speed-enhancing ability demonstrates his superior agility; whenever a vine is about to bind his ankle, he feints past it.

It appears that dozens of thin, weak vines are surrounding him, trying to intercept him, but none of them are able to succeed.

Bai Mengyan stood beside the rabbit. "So, can you track down which vine is controlling these?"

The rabbit's eyes followed the black hawk closely as it ran across the limited open space in front of them.

"No, it's not strong enough."

Bai Mengyan smiled and called out, "Brother Black Hawk, increase the intensity, create an opening, what's the point of always running away?"

Black Hawk came to an abrupt halt. "Alright!"

The moment the black eagle stopped, the vines that had been tracking him instantly clung to his body, completely binding his limbs and torso.

He twisted his body with all his might, using his shadow-based powers to protect himself from being pricked by the vines and having his blood containing cinnabar absorbed.

"It's tied tight enough!"

Cheng Lu asked with some concern, "Is Black Hawk Brother alright?"

No one answered her, because Black Hawk would give her the answer.

Clusters of black mist surged from Black Hawk's body, and as the black mist enveloped the vines, the vines, which were constantly tightening, stopped moving.

The newly sprouted vines, like tender shoots, had no binding force whatsoever. Black Hawk didn't need any special abilities to break free; he used his own strength to do so, and many of the thin, weak vines snapped off.

Niu Erzhu couldn't help but exclaim, "That black smoke looks so cool!"
