Zhang Heng saw that the gourd under him was waking up from the dormant state, his heart was shocked, his right hand held the knife handle tightly, and he didn't care whether the violent action would damage the flowers, his left hand directly pocketed, and put half a circle of yellow flowers into his palm, and his upper body leaned back, and at the same time his legs exerted force, and the whole person was like a jumping athlete, after crossing a beautiful arc in the air, he used a somersault to unload the force and landed smoothly.

After landing on the ground, Zhang Heng did not pause at all, and his body retreated backwards sharply, until he retreated to the shelf around the corner, and then stopped.

"Whew, it's dangerous......"

Zhang Heng spread out his palm, and there were 5 pinched and somewhat deformed gourd flowers lying inside.

"The host has been detected to have completed an urgent task, and the task reward ...... is now released"

The mechanical electronic prompt sounded as scheduled, Zhang Heng's face floated with joy, and just as he was about to receive the task reward, a terrible sound suddenly came from the giant gourd in the distance!

"Wow!"

A puff of smoke and dust accompanied the fall of concrete fragments, and the body of the giant gourd suddenly rose a little higher, like a ripe radish in the ground, which was pulled out by an invisible hand.

In the smoke and dust, there are several thick roots hidden under the giant gourd that are constantly dancing, and the whole picture is grotesque and terrifying, which makes people feel creepy.

"My Nuwa Niangniang! What the hell can this thing really do? Isn't that enough to meet the alpha threshold? ”

Zhang Heng was horrified in his heart, and he didn't care about listening to any task rewards at this time, so he casually ripped off the plastic bag on the side of the counter, stuffed the gourd flowers and plants in his hand, stuffed them into his trouser pocket, and ran desperately towards the entrance of the escalator on the third floor.

Just before Zhang Heng ran far, the ground where he was originally standing was smashed by a thick vine, and the rubble flew everywhere, revealing the steel structure in it.

The dappled supermarket suddenly shook, as if a small earthquake was happening!

Zhang Heng looked back and found that the shelves that were originally neatly arranged were like dominoes, falling one after another, and the goods on the shelves were scattered, knocking on the ground with a rhythmic sound.

And the center of this chaos is, of course, the giant gourd!

By this time, the gourd in the fruit and vegetable area had swept away the surrounding obstacles with eight vines growing on the top, and all objects that were more than one meter above the ground were scrapped, including two sturdy cement columns.

The original green and quiet melon body no longer rises and falls regularly, but is divided into four petals, and the dagger-like teeth are densely packed, as if a huge flower of death has bloomed in place.

The eight vines that grow at the top extend from top to bottom, gathered in a ring-shaped calyx.

The bottom of the calyx, where the roots grow, is constantly rising with soot.

This mutant creature with serial number 1158, which looked like an upside-down large octopus at this time, was struggling to pull out its head deep into the concrete, and kept moving towards Zhang Heng with thick vines.

But what frightened Zhang Heng was not the slow-moving giant gourd, but the glow-in-the-dark mushrooms that grew on it!

Zhang Heng clearly remembered that when the system released the mission introduction, there was a description of the attributes of the luminous mushroom, as a symbiotic creature of the giant gourd, the luminous mushroom with serial number 1158-1 would release fluorescent spores during ripening, emitting inducible fluorescence.

In just a few words, Zhang Heng relaxed his vigilance at that time, thinking that this was a weak companion plant, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But judging from the current situation, Zhang Heng found that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.

Those mushrooms that had originally shrunk into sticks, after sensing 1158's movements, quickly opened the cap on the top like a peacock opening the screen, and at the same time, the stalk of the thickness of the forearm kept shaking, and it was actually the same as a giant gourd, pulling out the body from the cyan skin, revealing the roots!

Unlike the giant gourd, the glow-in-the-dark mushroom does not have long roots growing at its roots, but sticks out of it with arthropod-like feet, densely packed and looking from afar, it looks like a hermit crab with a green fluorescence, constantly rolling down from the skin of the gourd.

These associated glow-in-the-dark mushrooms are also mutated creatures that can move autonomously!

Zhang Heng complained bitterly, secretly regretting that he had broken the memory chip, if he could read the contents of the chip, knowing that this mutated creature with serial number 1158 was an alpha-level lifeform, he would not take on this urgent task if he was killed.

The mutant creature with serial number 1158-1 The luminous mushroom crawled quickly, and between breaths, it was already following the smell in the air towards the mouth of the escalator where Zhang Heng was.

The left arm was raised, Zhang Heng used his right hand to connect the dots on the left chest, and the bounce of the machine was accompanied by a blue-white light circulating between the metal gaps, and the spiritual energy stored in the mechanical arm continued to gather in the palm of his hand, gradually forming a white thunderball the size of a marble.

Seeing that the ball lightning in his palm was charged, Zhang Heng sank his waist and twisted his hips, took his right foot as a support point, turned half a circle in place, and slammed his left arm forward in a throwing posture.

With Zhang Heng's movements, the ball-shaped lightning bolt agitated in his palm, and finally broke free from the shackles of the magnetic field and quickly smashed towards the surging green wave.

After the ball lightning got out of his hands, Zhang Heng didn't care whether he hit the target or not, and ran quickly along the escalator towards the second floor.

"Nourish...... Rumble! ”

Like a thunderbolt falling in a supermarket, the white arc flash instantly illuminated the dim supermarket, because it was a ball lightning released in a confined space, although Zhang Heng had lowered the upper limit of charging, the shock wave generated by the explosion was still very huge.

The qi wave immediately rushed Zhang Heng to the ground, making him lie directly on the cold ground on the second floor.

"Damn, I've obviously lowered the charge limit, why is it still so powerful......"

Zhang Heng quickly got up from the ground, and was about to look back at the situation, but the explosion came again, but this time the movement was much smaller than the first time, and the sound continued, as if someone had lit a string of firecrackers on the third floor, crackling.

And the light printed on the wall was no longer dazzling pure white, but shining with a strange blue-green, as if it was a firework from the Nine Hells that made an explosion, not a human thing.

Just as Zhang Heng hesitated, a thick green vine suddenly burst out, groping at the mouth of the escalator, and quickly winding towards the downstairs.

At the top of this vine, there were six eyeballs of different sizes, staring at Zhang Heng downstairs without blinking.

Seeing the vines approaching him at a rapid speed, Zhang Heng no longer hesitated at the moment, mobilized the mechanical arm again, and raised his hand in the direction of the vines with a punch.

This punch was impartial, and it happened to collide head-on with the attacking vines!

Although Zhang Heng had been prepared, the moment his fist touched the vines, there was still a look of horror on his face!

The tremendous power coming from the vines was far beyond what his physical body could resist!

Fortunately, the mechanical arm also seemed to sense that something was wrong with the power, and immediately the energy surged, and the blue-white light was flourishing.

The fine metal parts ran and rubbed, and several slender auxiliary arms protruded directly from the shoulder blades, some resisting the ground to provide support, and some were attached to Zhang Heng's left arm, resisting the huge force on the vines.

On the other hand, the vine with six eyeballs grew due to the huge pull caused by the collision, causing a crack in the green-brown epidermis, from which dark green juice seeped out and dripped onto the ground.

The six eyeballs looked at Zhang Heng who was standing in place, and the dark green meridians were all over like blood, as if they were very angry at the behavior of the person in front of them who took its attack.

"Look at your dad!"

Zhang Heng's left arm was against the vines, but his right hand was very free, seeing that the situation was deadlocked, his heart moved, and his right palm stroked the mechanical forearm, and he felt a black residual blade from it.

The blade was about a foot long, and its entire body was black, as if it had been burned by fire, and the blade was uneven and dilapidated, and even the handle of the knife was nowhere to be found.

Zhang Heng didn't seem to care about the sharpness of this remnant blade at all, and pinched it directly with his bare hands, and the blade as thin as a cicada's wings quickly cut through his skin, and the red blood flowed along the lines in his palm towards the knife, filling in the runes engraved on the knife.

When the first drop of blood dripped from the tip of the sword, the blackened blade seemed to come to life at once, and a majestic aura erupted from the blade and spread out in all directions.

"Drink!"

Zhang Heng burst into a shout, and his right hand waved forward violently, carrying a strong wind, which directly stabbed one of the eyeballs!

Suddenly, the dark green juice was like a spring water blowout, splashing all over Zhang Heng's face, and the vines seemed to have suffered heavy damage, and the huge force on his left arm was instantly emptied, and the entire vine shrank backwards and disappeared at the entrance of the escalator.

The slender auxiliary arm retracted into the shoulder blade, and the blue-white light in the left arm gradually faded and returned to a faint white light again, which continued to light and dim as Zhang Heng's breathing continued.

"That blow just now directly consumed 5 blocks of psionic energy!"

Zhang Heng glanced at the number displayed on his left arm, and his tone was full of surprise.

At this time, the number showing the spiritual energy reserves had jumped from the original 62 to 57.

After shaking off the dark green juice on the remnant blade and wiping it on his pants, Zhang Heng put it back in his forearm, although he didn't need to do that, because the robotic arm's built-in cleaning function could easily dispose of the dirt, and not even a trace of bacteria would remain on the blade.

Just when Zhang Heng was about to retreat, the entire supermarket began to shake, the surrounding shelves fell one after another in the shaking, and the chandeliers located on the ceiling also kept swaying, and a few even fell directly to the ground because of the violent shaking, splashing glass slag on the ground.

The poorly lit interior, coupled with the constant shaking scenes, makes Zhang Heng feel as if he is in the belly of a giant beast, rather than in an empty supermarket.

"Earthquake?"

Zhang Heng was surprised, although he had not personally experienced earthquakes, he had heard of these natural disasters recorded in ancient materials, and combined with the current situation of such tremors, earthquakes seemed to be the only explanation.

"That's not right!"

Suddenly, Zhang Heng's eyes lit up and he looked at the entrance of the escalator.

There, a huge body glowing green appeared......
