Chapter 676: Disappearing ( 3 )
The moment the ice needles entered the mutant tree’s roots, its petals bloomed, and it let out a high-pitched, piercing sound.
"Ugh!"
The three of them felt severe headaches from the soundwave attack. Clenching his jaw, Jin Xuyan circulated his energy to block his hearing. Holding onto his longsword, he leaped into the air.
Using the gravitational force, he aimed the tip of his longsword at the pistil. His longsword was covered in black flames as it descended at a fast speed.
When the mutant plant realized the danger, the longsword had already pierced the pistil and cut it in half. In an instant, green liquid spurted out.
Seeing this, Jiao Lizhi turned pale. "Brother Yan!" Before her brain could react, her body had already moved.
Du Beiye was taken aback when she saw her sister jump down without hesitation. "Sister!"
She thought that with so much acidic liquid, even if both of them survived, they would be severely injured. Unexpectedly, a bright light suddenly burst out from the hole.
Du Beiye was almost blinded by the light and could only raise her palm to block it. After a few seconds, the light slowly dimmed, and she rushed to the hole.
When she looked down, she saw nothing but debris and piles of dried corpses scattered inside. Her sister and her Captain were nowhere to be found.
"Krayan, scan the location. Find them!"
"Scanning in progress..."
Du Beiye waited for a full two minutes before she heard Krayan’s voice. "Host, there is no sign of your sister and Shrotam within a radius of one hundred kilometers."
Thinking that they might have entered her sister’s space, Du Beiye said, "Krayan, contact Gaia. See if my sister entered her space."
"Understood."
Three minutes later, Krayan replied, "Host, your sister is not in her space."
Hearing this, Du Beiye became anxious. She clenched her fists and muttered, "If she is not inside her space, then where is she now?"
Noticing its Host’s unstable emotions, Krayan replied, "Since Gaia is not activating the emergency protocol, its Host should be alive and not in any danger."
After hearing this, Du Beiye calmed down. She nodded and said, "You are right. If something had happened to my sister, Gaia would have been shut down, and you wouldn’t be able to contact it."
After calming down, she decided to check the underground to look for clues.
At the same time, a bright light suddenly appeared in the desolate Land of Snow. After a moment, the light disappeared, and two figures lay motionless beside the massive mutant man-eating flower.
The mutant plant was cut in half, and the green liquid made a sizzling sound whenever it touched the snow beneath it. The strong acidic scent filled the air. As the wind blew, snowflakes drifted freely.
Half an hour later, Jiao Lizhi’s fingers moved slightly. Feeling the pain in her body, she frowned and opened her heavy eyelids.
When she took a breath, she noticed that the air was fresh and that her body was covered with a layer of snow. Pushing herself up, she looked around and saw a vast expanse of land covered in white.
She turned her head and saw the mutant plant’s corpse. She looked around before spotting a figure buried under the snow. Pushing herself up, she dragged her body and walked over.
When she saw the familiar face, she squatted beside him and held his hand. With a thought, she brought the two of them into her space. The moment they reappeared inside the space, she fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
When Jiang Ziyi came out of the house, he saw them and exclaimed in shock, "Fengyan!"
He rushed over and held her wrist. As he checked her condition with his energy, he frowned deeply. Without even bothering to carry her to the house, he pulled her up and placed his palm on her back.
"Gaia, give me the Sthanam crystal," he said.
The next moment, a piece of black crystal appeared beside him. The black crystal was at least twenty centimeters long and five centimeters thick.
With one hand holding onto the crystal, he absorbed the energy and used his body as the medium to transfer the energy into Jiao Lizhi.
"What the hell is happening? How did you get injured so badly?" he muttered with worry.
While he was healing her internal injuries, Jin Xuyan opened his eyes for a moment and saw this scene before fainting again.
Twenty minutes later, he let out a sigh and carried Jiao Lizhi into the house.
When he came out, he stared at Jin Xuyan and said with a deep frown, "This brat is not as smart as I thought. He can’t even notice the trap. Fortunately, Fengyan is smart and knows to come here as soon as possible. Otherwise, they might have been caught by now."
After a long silence, Gaia’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind. "In this lifetime, he never came into contact with the Matkuna Race. So, it’s normal for him not to know how cunning they are."
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyi became even more unhappy and complained, "He has not entered the family yet, and you are already defending him? If he joins the family, won’t you kick me away?"
Knowing how petty this man was, Gaia decided to ignore him and said, "If you delay any longer, he might become a cripple. By then, the one who cries will be you."
Jiang Ziyi glared at the air for a moment but still picked up the sthanam crystal and went to heal Jin Xuyan’s injuries.
At the same time, outside the space, a group of people wearing protective suits walked out of an armored car. Following behind them was a large truck used to transport heavy items.
They walked toward the mutant plant, and one of them said, "Find the core."
Following his order, the group used a machine saw to cut the pistil and inspect the mutant plant. Twenty minutes later, the group returned, and one of them said, "Sir, the crystal core is gone."
