Ye Shuwan followed Jiang Yufeng's movements, tentatively piercing the energy ball with her mental energy to interfere with its actions and take the opportunity to gain control of it.

Stimulated by the source of the vines, all the branches paused their attacks for a second before suddenly lashing out in all directions without regard for anything else.

What attacked us?

Jiang Yufeng suppressed the strange feeling, his vigilance increased, the blade automatically protected his surroundings, and he held the broadsword horizontally in front of him to cut off the vines that had slipped through.

Most of the energy was diverted to resist Ye Shuwan's invasion, and the vines gradually slowed down, allowing Jiang Yufeng to catch his breath.

This is enough time for him to find its weakness.

He was distracted by the attack, but his peripheral vision was fixed on the roots of the ancient tree.

The vines are said to have a spirit; they will actively dodge when lightning strikes, and if they are hit while trying to avoid it, they will quickly retreat.

Only when his power struck near the tree roots did these vines, despite being torn to pieces, refuse to leave, instead standing in front of him as if protecting something.

Jiang Yufeng deliberately threw another lightning ball at that spot.

Sure enough, the vines intertwined, weaving a net that contained his supernatural power, preventing the tree roots from being damaged in the slightest.

At the same time, several vines also sprouted from the ground, protecting the roots tightly, as if they would attack if any more grenades were thrown in this direction.

Jiang Yufeng understood and stopped attacking that area.

If he were alone, he could freely explore and investigate, and would only suffer some injuries.

But now he has someone to protect him, and he doesn't want to hurt Ye Shuwan in the slightest.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that there might be other creatures attacking the vines, making it difficult to distinguish friend from foe.

If you anger the vines, you'll be attacked from both sides, and something unexpected might happen.

Therefore, he will not act rashly for the time being and will wait for Shen Yanke and the others to arrive before making any decisions.

Ye Shuwan, who had intended to remind Jiang Yufeng, also witnessed this scene.

That's perfect. Jiang Yufeng has already found the vines' weakness, so she doesn't need to put in any more effort.

However, Shen Yanke and the others are almost there.

If they come and kill the vines together, how will the energy source be divided?

She could have simply let Qiqi take it, but that wouldn't be appropriate now.

The crystal cores at the gas station were destroyed because the owners were unaware of them and the fire burned them all, leaving no way to verify the facts.

Now that they've encountered mutated plants, it's inevitable that they'll draw inferences from this and think that plants also have energy.

If I don't encounter any more mutated plants in the future, that's fine. But if I do encounter one again and find that other plants have an energy source while this one doesn't, I might start to have doubts.

If that's the case, it's best to deal with this vine before they arrive.

With her interfering, Jiang Yufeng is confident he can take her down.

Just now, Qiqi said that as long as the connection between the vine and the energy source can be severed, it can silently divide it into two parts and take one of them.

She can no longer enjoy it all by herself; sharing it equally is her biggest concession!

Thinking of this, Ye Shuwan unleashed all her mental energy, fiercely stabbing at that primordial energy.

All the vines were twisted together in extreme agony, as if they were screaming in pain silently.

The roots buried underground surged up uncontrollably, the intense pain from the blow to its source driving it to attack the two of them like madmen.

The suddenly growing vines squeezed their space, and the completely enraged plant, fearless of damage and unable to find anyone to harm it, directed all its anger at Jiang Yufeng and Ye Shuwan.

Jiang Yufeng felt a sense of foreboding; if they didn't deal with it immediately, they would be buried here.

At this point, he no longer cared about waiting for the others to arrive.

He swung his sword to block the vines from getting closer, and then used his lightning-based power to slam the exposed roots of the vines.

The tendrils raced to fling the lightning ball far away.

While he was busy dealing with the lightning ball, he threw a large bottle of liquid at the roots of the vines that had just surged up. The spatial blade followed closely, and the sharp blade sliced ​​through the bottle without hesitation. The liquid splashed and hit the vines.

"Chong-"

The sharp blade sliced ​​into what should have been soft branches and leaves, but instead produced a sound like metal scraping against metal.

The mutated plant proudly stretched out its incredibly resilient body, but in the next instant, it hurriedly tried to shrink back into the soil.

The sparking arrow hurtled towards the blade with tremendous force, igniting the vines in an instant.

The flames spread along its branches, yet somehow remained separate from the other plants.

The vines writhed and twisted like giant pythons, but they couldn't stop the fire from spreading.

The liquid bottle was filled with alcohol, and after the bottle exploded, it was secretly spilled all over the mutated plant.

Thick smoke billowed, and the hissing of sparks, along with the thuds of the plant hitting the ground, composed the final symphony of death for this level-three mutated plant.

"Brother Yu! Xiao Ye! Hey, I finally found you! As soon as I saw smoke here, I knew you must be here, so I rushed over. It's just that the road is too difficult to travel, otherwise I could have gotten here even faster."

Cheng Yan sprang out from behind the woods, a few leaves stuck in his hair, and leaned close to the burning vines to comment: "Wow, you guys finished it all. This is really a big guy."

Shen Yanke walked to Jiang Yufeng's side, crossed his arms, and tilted his head towards Jiang's back, which was injured by the vines: "You're injured?"

“Yu…”

"It's nothing, just a minor injury," Jiang Yufeng interrupted Ye Shuwan. "Thank you for treating me, Shuwan."

When did they start calling each other so affectionately? Shen Yanke raised an eyebrow as if watching a show, then, feeling awkward, left to give them some space.

Ye Shuwan quickly waved her hand: "It's no trouble at all. I should be thanking Brother Yu for protecting me."

"You don't need to thank me anymore." It was as if she was always thanking him, which felt too distant.

Ye Shuwan nodded gently, and her supernatural power enveloped his back.

It wasn't serious at all, and given that her healing ability was already at level two, she recovered in less than two minutes.

"Alright, Brother Yu, are you injured anywhere else?"

"That's all, thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shuwan looked at him accusingly, as if to say that he was being hypocritical.

"It won't happen again next time." Jiang Yufeng coughed lightly, his gaze gradually shifting from her wet eyes to her slightly pouting red lips.

Unable to withstand his aggressive gaze, Ye Shuwan lowered her head and looked away.

Just then, Cheng Yan shouted, "Hey, come quick, there's something here!"

"Brother Cheng Yan seems to have discovered something. I... I'll go take a look." Ye Shuwan's eyes darted around, and she pointed in that direction somewhat awkwardly before turning around and walking away with her head down.

"Together." Jiang Yufeng withdrew his gaze, easily caught up with her, slowed his pace, and walked side by side with her on her right.

Although his gaze shifted away, that aggressive aura lingered around her, and Ye Shuwan couldn't help but breathe softly.

The feeling didn't disappear until I was with other people.

Cheng Yan held up a broken tree branch and fiddled with the green crystals on the ground: "Look, look! Old He found this. What do you think it is?"

(Did you succeed?)

Don't worry, don't worry, with Qiqi on the case, it'll be a piece of cake.

Ye Shuwan then spoke up: "It feels a lot like a crystal core to me."
