I don't know if Xia Lin's rattan net has a certain deterrent effect on these black rats, or if Du Qinglin's offensive is too strong, so that the casualties caused by the black rat group are a little too large, and the offensive of the black rats has slowed down a little, and there is a faint tendency to retreat.

"Now!" Du Qinglin roared at Xia Lin.

Charlene understood, knowing that there was a very good opportunity in front of her, so she immediately did not hesitate to scatter a handful of seeds, quickly running her spiritual power and the wood-based energy in her body, giving birth to a different plant, and tightly blocking the two intersections in front of her.

Seeing the upper and lower entrances and exits blocked by the fast-growing nets woven by different plants, Xia Lin and Du Qinglin were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief for a short time.

The two looked at each other and nodded, already understanding what the other meant.

They didn't pay attention to the swarm of black rats squeaking behind the rattan nets, but after Charlene further strengthened the rattan nets to make sure that the black rats would definitely not be able to attack them for at least a short time, they turned away and decided to clean up the black rats on the first floor first.

The battle with the black squirrels, it is not the first time that the two have encountered, so they naturally know the habits of these black squirrels better. Although those alien plants are very lethal to black rats, in the case of black rats, they will never give up their prey because of casualties.

Not to mention, the two of them went deep into their lair to provoke at this time.

From the very beginning, they and the litter of black rats were a never-ending game.

Du Qinglin nodded, and Xia Lin quietly drank a small tube of spring water. Holding the pitted wooden stick in his hand that had been bitten by the black rat, he followed closely behind. Although because of the spawning of alien plants, she consumed a lot of spiritual power and wood-based energy. But apparently now is not the time to care about that.

This is the first relatively intact ruin that Charlene has encountered in her long history underground.

Although the walls have long been mottled and the original traces are not visible, and even the bricks and tiles inside the walls have become dilapidated, I don't know if it is because this house is an early brick structure, but it has withstood the erosion of time, not only the frame of the house has remained largely intact, but there are even some familiar items inside. For example, the corroded and broken remains of a refrigerator, such as a bed that can still be faintly seen in the shape of the bed. Like what......

Tut! It's a knife, right?

Reaching out and flicking on the knife with only the handle left, stroking the rust remaining on the handle, Charlene couldn't help but sigh.

Du Qinglin still held the weapon in his hand tightly, and did not relax his vigilance at all because of the quietness of the surrounding environment. On the contrary, after solving the scattered few black squirrels on the first floor, he stared at Charlene with burning eyes.

He was waiting for Charlene to tell her where the fluctuations of the power stones she felt were, but it was good if Charlene could find them, but if she couldn't find them, he wouldn't give up.

Since the energy fluctuates here, it means that the power stone must be found here. Even if you don't have a power stone, at least it's something that can have a lot of energy just like a power stone.

So no matter what, he's going to have to take it here.

However, after the first floor was explored. They were at a brief stalemate.

Do you go upstairs first, or go underground first?

If you go upstairs, no one knows if the creatures underground will transfer the power stones that are very likely to be stored underground.

And if you go directly into the ground. Although there are far fewer black rats upstairs than underground, those black rats are also more flexible, and the two of them can't even make sure that they can clean up the black rats upstairs.

And if these black rats are left alone, then whether they will directly block their retreat is also a question.

There were only two of them, and one of them was still not very combat-ready. However, there is a Xia Lin who is very meaningful, and Du Qinglin cannot rest assured that Xia Lin will be left alone on the surface. Two people must advance and retreat together.

Hearing Du Qinglin's words, Xia Lin once again felt the strong unpleasantness of being a drag. She was disgusted by the feeling.

But when she opened her mouth, Charlene still endured it, and she didn't know how to speak. What to say, to say that she will not be a drag? Or is she not afraid of death?

Charlene thinks she doesn't have such noble discipline and sacrifice.

The two retreated to the entrance, and the sound of the black rats in the cave squeaking and frantically devouring the vines made Charlene a little frightened.

The attack power of this black rat was obviously much stronger than the black rats she had encountered before, and these alien plants had not been able to stop them for too long.

A decision had to be made to go upstairs or down, and if these vines were not reinforced, it would not be long before they would bite through these vines and rush at their enemies at the cost of the lives of a few black rats.

This kind of crazy behavior, in Charlene's opinion, is really shocking enough. In particular, the other party is not a monster with no sense of consciousness and pain at all like a zombie, but a strange beast that follows such a law of survival.

"Let's go." Seeing that Charlene had once again strengthened the vines at the entrance of the stairs, Du Qinglin held a long stick in his hand and said coldly.

"Wait a minute," Charlene thought for a moment, but still firmly decided to stay on the surface. "I'll stay on top, and you go down alone."

"No way!" Du Qinglin refused without thinking. He would never allow Charlene to risk her life alone.

"I can protect myself," Charlene looked at Du Qinglin with a serious expression. "Moreover, with me on the surface, even if I can't kill those black rats, at least it can help you reduce some stress."

Although she is not strong in force, Charlene still has absolute self-confidence in her defensive ability, as long as she is given enough time. Especially if the other party has obvious weaknesses at the moment.

Du Qinglin was still frowning, noncommittal to Charlene's words, but his attitude was obviously a little loose.

"Moreover, even underground, with the habits of black rats, there is definitely more than one entrance and exit to the cave, and you can't completely protect me, right? Rather than let me be a drag on you, you might as well let me stay here, at least there are these alien plants here, and I can fully withstand the attacks of these black rats. ”

Du Qinglin still disagreed.

Charlene's safety was too important to him, and he couldn't afford to take risks lightly. "Come down with me, you can still set up defenses behind you at any time."

Although he may be in a hurry, or even only for a few seconds, at least he will have a little more confidence in his heart when he puts people by his side.

This is an underground city, not somewhere else, and the so-called safe place does not exist at all. He believed in himself more than the security he might have.

"You can wait for me to set it up before you decide." These days of contact are enough for Charlene to understand how stubborn the man in front of her is, and if she wants him to change his decision, she must convince the other party with facts.

Du Qinglin was noncommittal to Charlene's words.

Charlene didn't do any more meaningless acts, but directly took out all the seeds she had collected during this time and obtained from the underground plants, except for the little ones left in the space.

Seeing that Charlene was slowly and firmly spawning one different plant after another, Du Qinglin, who originally had some prejudice against Charlene's ability, gradually became stern.

He didn't know how much the Major General knew about Charlene's abilities, but even if he only saw what he saw in front of him, he could have such abundant energy and powerful spiritual power, and at the same time have such a high affinity with the alien plant, let alone in the Federation, even in the history of the Federation within five hundred years, it was rare.

He could even imagine the sensation and attention it would cause once Charlene's true strength and potential were discovered by those in the Federation.

Charlene will be the first to be packed up by the old guys in the army and sent to the Supreme Research Institute. As for what Elder Huangfu said, Charlene is the key to continuing Chu Ci's life, so those old guys won't care.

The Chu family has one less excellent successor, which means that the juniors in their family have a little more hope.

Although these old guys may not be confused to the end in terms of national righteousness, they are not bad at all compared to selfishness.

Du Qinglin's face became solemn, he had to sue the boss about this matter.

Xia Lin planted half of these spawned alien plants at the staircase, let them grow rapidly, directly wrapped the whole building, and at the same time tightly wrapped the place where she and Du Qinglin were standing, and Xia Lin took out the other half only a small part of it, and tightly enclosed the entrance of the underground passage, leaving only a slightly weak position in the middle.

Upstairs wasn't sure what it was, but Xia Lin and Du Qinglin could clearly feel that there was a 99% chance that the power stone was underground, after all, the nest of those black squirrels who were greedy and fearless of death was also underground.

Therefore, although Charlene surrounded the upstairs place, more to prevent the black squirrel from escaping, and then surrounded the entrance of the cave, more defense was still placed at the underground entrance.

And on the periphery of these vines, Charlene also planted a layer of Thousand Phantom Orchids with a very strong hallucinogenic effect.

It is an extremely rare and delicate plant, which has strict growing conditions, and although the seeds are not rare, it takes a lot of effort to cultivate them, and even build a greenhouse for them separately and take care of them every day.

In addition, although it is a psychedelic alien plant, it does not do much harm to the human body, and it can even help the supernatural to pass certain levels and successfully break through the spiritual power advancement, so it is unexpectedly popular in the Federation.

It's just because of its characteristics that it has always been priceless in the Federation, and probably only Charlene can use it in such a luxurious place.

"You're willing to do it."

Du Qinglin's voice was a little strange, but Xia Lin just smiled brightly at the other party, "I only have this special strength, if I am compared again, how can I be qualified to stand by your side?" (To be continued) R655
