Charlene glared at Chu Ci angrily, holding a silver-white plain ring in her hand.

This ring was handed to her by Chu Ci.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the ring itself, Chu Ci itself...... There shouldn't be any problem...... Right?

However, what does this guy's words mean?

What is it called, "Don't just accept something from someone you don't understand?" Who is this man?

He is also a good person who doesn't know her?

So, is it a hint that she doesn't want to take it?

But if that's the case, what kind of fall does this guy insist on stuffing the ring into her with a cold face!

Seeing Xia Lin's slightly distorted expression, Bai Qiang and Du Qinglin, who were following the two of them, glanced at each other, revealing an expression that could not bear to look at them.

As a member of the main responsible for protecting the security of Xia Lin and Chu Ci, although Du Qinglin did not know the entanglement between Xia Lin and Chu Ci, he could also see that he was the only woman who could follow the boss over the years, except for Bai Qiang, a fierce woman......

Yes...... Girl,The relationship with the boss is not simple.。

Not to mention, Xia Lin is still the only woman that Chu Ci has brought except for Bai Qiang, a military doctor who has enough self-protection ability and rich experience and will not drag down the team.

And it's the boss of his own family who insists on bringing someone else.

Of course, if it weren't for Chu Ci's meaning, it would be impossible to change someone to come up.

But their boss's emotional intelligence ...... It really made them, the onlookers, sweat for him.

Xia Lin hesitated for a while, but still felt that it was better to return the ring in her hand to Chu Ci.

Hey, is this something that can be picked up casually?

Although she hadn't studied the customs of this world and didn't know if the ring had any special meaning in their eyes, she subconsciously, Charlene still had a strange feeling.

"Be careful!" At this moment, Liang Sihao, who was in charge of the investigation, and Lu Weiming, who was in charge of the lurking, suddenly shouted a warning in unison.

Charlene looked up and saw a group of black balls smashing towards the hedgehog that was opening the way in front of her.

What's going on?! Charlene was stunned for a moment, but in the next moment, she was pulled and flashed to the side.

It's Chu Ci.

"Be careful! What a daze! Shen Sheng scolded Xia Lin, and Chu Ci let out a flame and attacked the place where Xia Lin was standing before.

The hedgehog dodged, sensitively dodged the black ball's attack, and then quickly erected a wall of earth in front of him.

"Peng!"

"Pemba!"

"Peng Peng Peng!"

The rapid black ball hit the earthen wall, making a loud noise, and then burst, and instantly the air was filled with a smell of durian.

"Hold your breath!"

"It stinks!"

Charlene subconsciously reached out and pinched her nose.

God, what the hell is this?!

As Chu Ci threw out a few flames, everyone also used their own means to attack the unknown object underground.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"

Because of everyone's attack, the things that were originally lurking under the ground for sneak attacks finally came out one by one.

"What is this!?" Staring at the "dead branches" in front of her that seemed to be vine-type plants, Charlene was shocked.

"Damn, it's the Glory Withered Vine!" Chu Ci cursed in a low voice, "Follow me and burn it with fire!" ”

whispered to Xia Lin, and Chu Ci shouted to everyone again.

"Yes!"

At the same time, it was natural that there was more than one person who could see what was attacking several people. In fact, this kind of underground creature with excellent concealment, strong aggression, and excellent reproduction is one of the compulsory underground creatures of almost all the elite regiments of the Federation.

It's also one of the toughest creatures.

Prosperous and withered vines, one prosperous and one withered, but they are two completely different life forms.

The branches of the vine are luxuriant, an adult vine, the branches and leaves standing on the surface of the ground can be up to 15 meters long, the width of the ground can reach more than 30 kilometers, a vine can reproduce a miniature oasis, can swallow a large amount of carbon dioxide and oxygen, is one of the most essential organisms for the formation of the ecological circulation system of the underground world.

The dead vine was dead and silent, buried deep in the ground, and there was no sign of life at all, just like an old vine that had been dead for many years. Unless it attacks, it will not be detected by any means.

Because it was dead and silent, and there was not even a trace of life.

As a result, even the most advanced detection instruments in the Federation today are difficult to detect in advance.

And the one who attacked with Rong Withered Vine was Rong Teng's companion plant, the black durian.

Of course, although it is called black durian, in fact, it is the same as durian except for the smell, but it is not much similar to the fruit of durian in appearance, as for the essence...... It has nothing to do with durian.

And the black durian not only tastes very smelly, the smell emitted is also toxic, although it is not fatal, but after inhaling a certain amount of toxic gas of stinky durian, because of the interference of toxicity, the sensitivity of the body will decrease, and even the visual ability will be affected.

This is obviously extremely dangerous in a dark dungeon.

And the black durian with the withered vine, it is even more unknown how many federal powerhouses have been buried.

But that's not the only difference between the vines and the withered vines.

In fact, it is only in the hunting period when it is withered, and will hunt any prey that comes close to its territory. However, the Eito vine during the Eito period was not offensive at all, as if it was really just a simple oasis, attracting many underground creatures to live and rest here.

And it is precisely because of this characteristic of the withered vine that it can better hunt many prey that come to find a resting place during the withered vine period.

If it weren't for the fact that the withered vine was not aggressive at all, it could still provide a small resting place for explorers, and only when the withered vine was full of aggression, the withered vine was in the federal underground creature danger ranking, maybe it would have to rise a few more levels.

The wilted vine in front of him is still in the middle stage of growth, but its attack power is not small. With the strength of a few people, it is not impossible to take down this prosperous vine, but the time will never be short.

And in this process, not to mention whether it will attract attacks from other underground creatures, it is a question of how long they can hold out under the gas attack of the black durian.

Fortunately, thousands of years ago, after a lot of blood experience and experiments, the Federation finally found a way to deal with the Rong Withered Vine, and that was fire!

Moreover, it can't be an ordinary fire, it must be a high-temperature fire of more than 300 degrees, or the flame of a fire type supernatural of the fourth order or higher to be able to burn it.

Fortunately, although they had never seen the Eiji Vine, before they came down, they were still carefully equipped with all the weapons that could be restrained or dealt with by underground creatures according to the knowledge they learned from the military headquarters.

These are all the results of the ancestors with their lives, and no one dares to be sloppy.

Looking at the rapid contraction and retreat of the Rong withered vines under the attack of the flames, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This is their first battle underground, and it's not even a small test. Thankfully, nothing was done.

After this battle, which was like a welcome ceremony, the danger and vigilance of the dungeon in everyone's hearts were raised to a new level.

Before, before Rong Kuteng launched an attack, they didn't even notice the slightest abnormality!

If it weren't for the fact that the vine was still young, if it wasn't for the fact that the vine was extremely hidden, it was buried deep in the ground and the main rhizome could not move, so its sensitivity was affected, if it wasn't for it......

Maybe they're really going to plant a heel on this withered vine.

It's a shame that this encounter was transmitted back to the Federation?!

However, after killing the Glory Withered Vine, the benefits obtained are also gratifying.

Found the place where the rhizome of the Glory Withered Vine was, and the hedgehog with the soil ability dug up the rhizome buried deep in the ground very smoothly.

Looking at the black-gray rhizome of the withered vine in Chu Ci's hand, which looked like the roots of a tree she had seen when she was a child, the corners of Charlene's mouth twitched.

What is this? Where is the essence of the withered vine? It's like a bear's paw?

"Carve me a wooden knife." Chu Ci took the rhizome of the Rong withered vine in his hand and weighed it for a while, and said to Xia Lin.

"What?" Charlene's face was inexplicable.

"Taste the taste," Chu Ci curled the corners of his lips and smiled brightly, like a child who had received a delicious candy.

"Taste...... Flavor? Charlene swallowed her saliva and looked at the roots in front of her with uncertainty on her face, "Can this thing be eaten?" ”

"It's said to taste good." Du Qinglin's face was eager to try. He's a metallic ability, but unfortunately, if you cut it with a metal knife, the rhizome of the wilted vine will be worth nothing.

"Wooden knives?" Charlene looked at Chu Ci in surprise, "Are you sure?" ”

Although the thing in front of me looks like it is no different from the roots of a tree, the thickness and hardness of it don't look like it can be cut with a wooden knife, does it?

"Yes." Chu Ci nodded, there was no joke on his face, "It must be the tool you used to wrap the carving knife with wooden energy, and the wooden knife carved by your own hands little by little." ”

"I'm going to engrave?" Charlene was taken aback for a moment, and raised her hand to point to her nose, "Why?!" ”

"Or else?" Chu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly and asked rhetorically.

"But......" Charlene was a little frustrated, "okay, I'll carve ......"

Although White Rose is also a wood-based ability, her wood-based ability and her healing ability complement each other, which means that it is ......

In addition to helping her cultivate her healing attributes, her only ability is to help her fight and fight. Or, help her flexibly control the whip in her hand.

As for the others, such as giving birth to different plants, or controlling different plants to help her fight......

Bai Qiang smiled enchantingly, what is that? Fighting, it is enough for her to have a whip. R1152
