Everyone’s hearts trembled when they heard this.
“Everyone in the Tang family is extraordinary. It’s no wonder they have the achievements they have today.” In addition to Cao Huibao, Pan Ke, the director of the Botanic Garden, had also become a fan of them. However, he was instead fascinated by their intelligence and abilities.
At this moment, someone knocked on his car window. He was surprised and carefully opened it a little. He saw Tang Susu’s slightly tensed face.
“Director, come with us.”
Just as Tang Susu said that, Xie Fei, who handled the director’s safety, asked nervously, “You… Who are you?”
Tang Susu was speechless.
“Prove yourself first!” Xie Fei simply felt that since Tang Susu had just left, it was a little strange for her to spring up again like that. He was full of vigilance at this moment.
Tang Susu didn’t know how to respond to that. After verifying her identity, she immediately took Pan Ke away.
However, just as she led him to the place just now, he began saying in a faint tone… “Director? You’re the only one left now…”
Pan Ke was shocked by her voice. “Miss… Miss Tang? Don’t tease me. I’m getting scared!”
“Miss Tang? Who is Miss Tang?” The girl’s red lips curled up slightly, and her expression became even colder. In the dark surroundings, she looked especially terrifying.
Pan Ke’s hands and legs were weak as he held onto a tree, but he was suddenly pulled back by a force!
Only then did he realize that the tree trunk he had just supported had instantly emitted a sizzling green sap. When it dripped onto the ground, it created a gigantic pit. There were already corpses of various animals next to the tree.
“All!”
“Hurry and leave!” Eighth, who had just pulled him away, grabbed his arm and escaped with him.
At the same time, acid saps began to rain on the place where they were standing.
“Miss Tang! Miss Tang is still back there!”
“I’m here.” Tang Susu, who was already in front of them, called out to him.
Pan Ke was completely confused. “Then who was that just now?”
“Me too.”
After a long time, he realized he had really been pranked. He didn’t know how he should react, but his tense mood unexpectedly eased a little.
It was probably because it was rare to see Tang Susu acting her age, and he suddenly realized that she was still a young lady. He couldn’t give up like that!
With a local like Luodeng and the director who had a thorough understanding of the surrounding plants, it was making things easier for everyone. As for 008, Tang Susu had it monitor the situation with the convoy to prevent any accidents.
Twenty minutes later, after the five of them broke through multitudes of danger and followed the vines to find the main body of the Blood Vine, they couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
The huge vines that almost covered the entire Red Rock Forest all sprouted from such a small plant.
It was only about ten centimeters thick and was winding around a gigantic tree. The part that extended upward became thicker and thicker as it branched out and multiplied. It supplied all the nutrients to the vines above. The main plant below looked so thin that it could be easily broken!
“No… It relies on the tree next to it to absorb nutrients. It has probably formed a new type of symbiotic relationship with it.” Pan Ke couldn’t help but go closer to observe.
“Be careful!” Eighth felt he was too obsessed with plants. He was so obsessed that he even forgot about the danger surrounding them. Luckily, Tang Susu could keep him under control.
As soon as Eighth pulled him back, a faint, almost invisible mist was emitted. Even Eighth, who was normally immune to poison, felt dizzy!
“Spread out and retreat!” Tang Susu shouted and grabbed Luo Deng, who was beside her and instantly dashed 20 meters away.
A majestic “mist” also spread out at this time, poisoning the surrounding vegetation as they wilted.
Sensing danger, the Blood Vine extended its vines and tried to probe them.
“Try using the Blood Vine,” Pan Ke shouted. “The sap of the Blood Vine might be able to defend against the Antiaris Toxicaria!”
“Antiaris!?” Lowden hissed. “Isn’t that the Bark Cloth Tree?! It was already very dangerous before the apocalypse! Now that it’s even mutated… Let’s just get out of here!”
Run? There was nowhere to run. If they couldn’t get rid of the Blood Vine, they would be trapped here!
They needed to deal with it quickly. 008 had just reported that the vines were already about to reach the barrier on the convoy.
Seeing the poisonous gas gradually approaching, Tang Susu quickly used her Aerokinesis and swept the poisonous gas away.
However, the Bark Cloth Tree counterattack didn’t stop. Instead, it showed signs of strengthening.
“Yunxiang!”
Lu Yunxiang was stunned for a moment and was about to do the same thing and blow away the poisonous gas.
Tang Susu then said, “Chlorokinesis! Try to soothe the Blood Vine so that we can use some of its vines!”
“Huh?” Lu Yunxiang didn’t understand why, but she didn’t have time to think about it. She hurriedly channeled her Chlorokinetic power and approached the vines that were close to them..
