Chapter 462 Fusion, Awakening of Plant System
The traces of surging energy gradually expanded, forming jellyfish patterns that tightly wrapped around Cheng Lu's ankle bones.
Cheng Lu seemed to have lost control, gave up the suppression of the water-based supernatural power, hugged the thigh in pain and wailed, and her body rolled to the side.
Visible to the naked eye, blood-red lines appeared on Cheng Lu's skin, spreading upwards at lightning speed, reaching the base of her thighs in the blink of an eye.
The blood vessels in her body seemed to be filled with the roots of strange trees, and the capillaries on the surface of her skin were constantly surging and moving upwards.
The energy fluctuation was so strong that it directly shattered the space constructed by Bai Mengyan to guide the blood mist.
Bai Mengyan subconsciously flashed back. The area that trapped the blood mist was unobstructed, and the thick energy mist spread rapidly.
It all happened so fast that it caught people off guard.
"Cheng Lu!" Bai Mengyan exclaimed, and pretended to flash her spatial ability, as if to isolate this group of wolf-like and tiger-like blood mist.
"Xiaoyan! Let's go!" Leng Yuexiu stepped on the wind mark and quickly bypassed the range of the spreading blood mist. He pulled Bai Mengyan into his arms and dodged to the side.
Leng Yuexiu was walking on the wind track at a very fast speed. In just a blink of an eye, the two of them had escaped from a range of more than ten meters.
Bai Mengyan hurriedly grabbed Leng Yuexiu's collar and said, "Think of a solution, Xiu. We can't just watch Cheng Lu die. Think of a solution!"
Leng Yuexiu tightened his grip around Bai Mengyan's waist to give her confidence, "Don't move here. I still have remnants of the Dream Leaf in my body. This red mist won't do anything to me. I'm going."
Bai Mengyan nodded in panic, and Leng Yuexiu's eyes were frighteningly bright.
"give it to me."
He said this because he was afraid that Bai Mengyan would be overwhelmed by her emotions and step forward to intervene without regard for her own safety.
To be honest, Cheng Lu has to bear her own fate. What the outcome will be is not something Leng Yuexiu can decide. All he can do is to provide some assistance.
As soon as Leng Yuexiu finished speaking, he turned into a green shadow and rushed into the area occupied by the red fog.
The disturbed airflow also brought up red mist and smoke, which looked like a man-eating monster.
Bai Mengyan was extremely worried. She followed her sight and immediately saw Cheng Kaixi not far from the red fog. He was still under the temporary tent.
"Damn it, why is Cheng Kaixi still there!"
Bai Mengyan's spatial power surged, and silver power dust flashed. Cheng Kaixi was instantly shackled by a powerful energy and then pulled over like a cannonball.
Because the withdrawal speed was too fast, ripples of spatial collapse appeared in the space where Cheng Kaixi was previously.
In the turbulence, some fine blood mist was also caught in it. The moment the space was restored, the blood mist that flowed into the collapsed space disappeared without a trace.
Bai Mengyan slowly put Cheng Kaixi down. She knelt down, supported Cheng Kaixi's upper body, and held him in her arms.
Cheng Kaixi's internal organs were very weak, and being pulled away so quickly was a huge impact. He was in a semi-faint state.
No one expected that the blood mist would actually shatter Bai Mengyan's space barrier when it churned.
At present, Bai Mengyan’s space barrier is in its most basic form, which is to use space power to condense an invisible "wall" and use these "walls" to form an enclosed space.
Strictly speaking, this isolated space is only a "physical" isolation. Isolation from another dimension or rewriting the spatial laws of the demarcated area are abilities that Bai Mengyan does not currently possess.
So when violent energy replacement and explosive growth occurred in the space she isolated, this increase exceeded the upper limit of the spatial rules of the isolated space, and it was easy for it to collapse. Bai Mengyan had not considered this before.
This move really caught everyone off guard. The place where Cheng Lu was being treated and the place where Cheng Kaixi was resting were already far apart, at least 50 meters away.
But after the barrier that blocked the spread of the red mist was broken, it suddenly spread over an area of more than 20 meters, putting Cheng Kaixi's position in danger.
The blood mist was still swirling, and occasionally something like a branch could be seen swirling inside the mist.
Everyone else retreated to a farther location, occasionally looking back at the red mist swirling in the middle.
Unfortunately, the side where Su Jiancheng was was almost close to the area where the zombies were, and he felt like he was facing a great enemy alone.
Leng Yuexiu had been in there for a while, but there was no movement. He could only see those vines that were like devil's claws rolling around.
The longer the time drags on and the longer the blood mist remains, the more it indicates one result, that is, Cheng Lu has basically no power to resist and is swallowed by the strange tree seed.
Bai Mengyan's face looked ugly, and the others weren't much better.
Cheng Kaixi finally opened his eyes tiredly under Bai Mengyan's comfort and Ruan Jing's warmth.
At this time, the blood mist finally began to thin, and all the energy shrank towards the center.
Finally, taking advantage of the thin fog, the outline of a human figure inside was revealed.
The two overlapping figures, one seemed to be standing upright, the other curled up at the feet.
As the mist dissipated further, Leng Yuexiu's figure gradually emerged. He stood firm in the smoke and dust with his hands hanging at his sides.
The remaining blood mist seemed to be able to distinguish who its master was, and all gathered into the body of the curled up figure on the ground.
Leng Yuexiu's expression remained indifferent, and he looked down at the person under his feet.
"I think you need some time. I'll go tell everyone I'm safe first. Everyone is worried about you."
Cheng Lu, who was curled up beside Leng Yuexiu's pedicure, said softly, "Well, thank you, Captain Leng."
Leng Yuexiu said nothing and walked towards the outside with big strides.
A distance of several dozen meters was not far. Even without using his wind-based abilities, Leng Yuexiu's pace was not slow, and it didn't take him long to reach Bai Mengyan.
The other people on guard also trotted over, wanting to know the outcome.
Even the snow leopard did not rashly run to Cheng Lu on its own. This seemed to be the result of everyone's tacit consent, thinking that Cheng Lu was doomed to die.
From the perspective of a passing snow leopard, Cheng Lu's feet were also seen. They could no longer be called feet. They were completely covered by tree roots and looked like a "human-shaped" plant.
Leng Yuexiu was very calm. Facing Bai Mengyan's inquiring gaze, he remained composed and said nothing.
After everyone gathered, Leng Yuexiu curled up the corners of his mouth into a smile.
"Cheng Lu..."
"Out of danger."
Everyone with a depressed look on their faces suddenly had a light in their eyes and stared at Leng Yuexiu.
Leng Yuexiu didn't keep the secret and continued, "There are some flaws in the way the red mist devours the roots of the seeds. The seeds are not affected by this energy."
"But this was just an episode. Cheng Lu's awakened water-based ability saved her life. The strange tree seed wanted to live in Cheng Lu's body and grow, but the core of the water-based ability, the sea of consciousness, refused to give in.
The strange tree seeds continued to absorb the blood mist to gain energy, and their roots filled Cheng Lu's entire body. I helped her cut off some of them, and the process was not very pleasant.
Later, the power of the strange tree seed was evenly matched with her water-based ability. Relying on her willpower and support, she successfully tamed the strange tree seed. Now the strange tree has become a part of her body and also a means for her.
You can understand it as a plant-type ability, but it is definitely different from the normally awakened plant-type abilities. After all, this plant is forcibly parasitic.
But everyone can rest assured, after the recent 'battle', they can now live in harmony, and Cheng Lu's life is no longer in danger."
Leng Yuexiu explained so much patiently, which was rare. After listening to him, everyone showed excitement. After all, no one wanted their comrades to die tragically. This was simply the biggest surprise.
Leng Yuexiu pressed his hand downwards and said to the few people who were looking at Cheng Lu, "Give her some time. The power of the strange tree seed is strong, and her body will undergo some changes. She may not want to see you in her current appearance yet, so please be patient."
"Girls all love beauty. It's human nature and I understand it." Su Jiancheng continued.
"Yes, yes, it was quite a big scene just now. She must be exhausted. It would be better to let her take a break." The rabbit agreed.
The snow leopard still had an expression of surviving a disaster on its face. It followed with its eyes, pursed its lips and said nothing, receiving the "scrutinizing" gazes of several people.
After solving Cheng Lu's problem, Leng Yuexiu instructed, "Okay, you've rested enough, it's time to get down to business. Divide into pairs and continue cleaning."
