But they didn't rest long before the ground trembled again, and a huge plant mutant like Optimus Prime rose from the ground and opened its jaws to engulf them.

This xenomorph was the same as the xenos they had seen before, with a blackish-gray body and a shriveled surface that looked like a rock.

Xia Lu hurriedly swung his blade to split the xeno's body to prevent it from being swallowed by it.

Boom, the huge xenomorph body was cut, and in an instant, it lost its vitality and fell to the ground, and three people were also crushed under it.

With the cover of its body, the sound of xenomorph activity around it was quieter, and it was obvious that the restless xenos had lost their tracks.

The three of them finally had a chance to breathe, and Gu Yue's cold gaze fell on Xia Lu.

"Do you always like so much nosy? Well, Kurokigen must know that we are here, and he will not show up. ”

She gritted her teeth and glared at Xia Lu viciously.

Xia Lu shrugged.

"It seems that you didn't remind me just now, you want to deliberately give me some color to see, are you Yanjing people used to being so arrogant?"

"White Peony asked you to come with me just to avoid these troubles, and it seems that you are not doing your duty."

Gu Yue was choked by him, and her face turned even darker.

Apparently she also knew she was wrong.

It took a deep breath before her emotions calmed down.

"They haven't found any trace of us, we need to be quiet for a while, maybe the movement just now didn't completely arouse the alarm ...... Kuroki"

As soon as she said this, she suddenly stopped, lowered her head and looked down at the ground.

Xia Lu also lowered his head, and found that there was a crack in the ground under their feet.

Several vines that looked like insects slowly crawled out, circling around the isolated space formed by the spatial barrier.

They seem to sense something, and the vines keep touching their surroundings.

The surrounding mutated plants seemed to be very afraid of these vines, and quickly left the place where they were sitting, and the few mutated plants touched by these vines immediately turned gray and crystallized into stones like black crystals.

Xia Lu was even more surprised.

He'd seen these crystal-like stones in other mutated plants, what the hell was this?

looked up at Gu Yue, but saw her eyes flickering, as if she had found something extremely important.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Lu looked at her suspiciously.

Gu Yue came back to her senses, and the light in her eyes quickly retracted.

"Nothing ......"

After a pause, she said, "Is this barrier safe for you?" The tentacles of the wood spirits can become very small, and they can get through any crevice. ”

Xia Lu gave her a foolproof look and said, "Don't worry, this is a spatial barrier, and no matter or energy can penetrate it......"

As he spoke, his gaze sharpened.

"I feel that you and White Peony have something to hide from me, and the situation here is not as simple as I thought."

Gu Yue's face instantly stiffened when she heard this.

"Don't tell you that things have nothing to do with you, your task is only to eliminate the black wood root and prevent it from continuing to spread, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

Xia Lu's eyes narrowed and he didn't continue to ask.

It would be in vain to continue asking, and she would definitely not tell herself.

But at this moment, a hissing sound sounded.

But I saw that the vines around him suddenly began to sway their bodies rapidly, like a poisonous snake spitting out letters, and the voices of countless vines gathered together, sounding very penetrating.

Xia Lu vaguely sensed that something was about to happen, because she saw Gu Yue's face quickly become nervous.

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out, and a huge force slammed out of the ground, exploding the land.

A giant plant mutant tore through the earth and quickly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

It resembles a giant scythe, with long barbed spikes on its blade.

The giant scythe was more than ten meters long, and after drawing an arc in front of everyone's eyes, the barbed side smashed down on them.

Gu Yue's face changed and he hurriedly said, "Get out of the way!" ”

Xia Lu and the evil monster were motionless, and there was no panic on their faces.

Rumble! The huge scythe fell, and the entire ground was cut into a ravine.

The earth trembled, and the thick mist was cut in a line and quickly drifted to the sides.

However, the huge scythe shattered on top of Xia Lu's head, and the entire scythe shattered where they were.

Black crystals again, only this time they tend to soften a bit, like black jelly.

A lot of mucus came out of the scythe's rift, scattered around them.

Roar!

A low roar rang out from beneath the earth, and a wave of air erupted from a crack in the ground.

However, the sound grew farther and farther away, as if the terrifying creature underground had moved away from them.

Sensing that this huge creature was leaving, Gu Yue slowly sighed, looked at Xia Lu and said, "There will be more infected wood spirits coming in this direction soon, let's get out of here quickly." ”

Xia Lu nodded, raising his hand to control the movement of the spatial barrier.

However, the spatial barrier only moved a little before suddenly disappearing.

Xia Lu's face changed instantly.

"Oh no, I think I'm poisoned."

Gu Yue's face turned white instantly.

"No way, you ...... in your body"

She didn't finish her sentence, and the ground shook violently.

As if sensing something, the giant beast that had just left had returned.

Bang! The ground exploded, and countless slender vines shot out like bullets, heading straight for the ancient moon.

Gu Yue's face changed drastically, and she quickly raised her hand, and her hand shone brightly.

The flower branches on her body grew rapidly, forming strange patterns around her hands, and the light of the inscriptions lit up one after another.

Immediately after, branches and flowers quickly grew around her body, emitting a strange light.

The flower opened, and a corrosive liquid erupted from it, incinerating all attacking vines.

It's just that she can guard the front, but she can't guard the back, and a black vine with the thickness of an arm behind her quickly wraps around one of her feet.

Gu Yue was shocked, and the naked eye could see that the snow-white skin was rapidly withering, like a plant that had been drained of nutrients, showing a withered posture.

Her skin also darkened.

"Help me!"

Gu Yue realized that she had been attacked and screamed.

At the same time, her hands once again shone brightly, attacking the poison ivy behind her.

Xia Lu's eyes narrowed, and he quickly cast a spatial barrier to wrap her and himself again.

The black poison ivy was cut off, and black mucus flowed out, and Gu Yue also fell to the ground with a pale face, panting.

However, at this time, her first reaction was not to escape by chance, but to suddenly raise her head and glared at Xia Lu viciously.

"You did it on purpose!"

Rumble!

As soon as she finished speaking, the ground exploded again, and the freshly broken scythe reappeared.

It's just that this time it lost its goal, like a ready attack, towering in front of two people.

The ground trembled slightly, and there seemed to be countless vines moving under their feet.
