Chapter 93 Strange Vines
Chapter 93 Strange Vines
Yu Yao sat quietly in the corner of the sofa, watching Chi Heng with his eyes closed.
When bored, one's thoughts tend to wander, and one can't help but marvel at how good-looking he really is.
Excellent physical appearance and bone structure.
Unlike Lin Fengmu's beauty, Chi Heng's appearance is more sharp and heroic, and his handsomeness is striking.
Despite his exquisitely handsome features, his cold demeanor and striking eyebrows gave him an air of aggression and asceticism.
It makes people want to get closer, yet also makes them feel intimidated.
With such looks and figure, instead of going into the entertainment industry to benefit everyone, she chose to become a shady mercenary.
What a waste!
Yu Yao was engrossed in watching something, her elbows resting on the coffee table, when she unexpectedly met Chi Heng's gaze.
Yu Yao's eyes widened. "Did I disturb you?"
Chi Heng hesitated for a moment, his Adam's apple bobbing almost imperceptibly, before he said dryly, "No."
Then I quickly went back into meditation and focused on absorbing the energy from the mutated pearl.
Yu Yao blinked blankly, and finally stopped staring at him.
Instead, he took out a book on Taoist talismans from his spatial storage and quietly began to read it.
Therefore, she did not notice Chi Heng's quiet sigh of relief and his relaxed body.
......
Time ticked by, and one by one, the mutated pearls in Chi Heng's hand turned to dust and disappeared.
His momentum also rose steadily during this process, soaring all the way to the mid-stage of the second level.
After absorbing the 12th mutated pearl, Chi Heng was just one step away from reaching the late stage of the second level.
Seeing him stop moving and open his eyes, Yu Yao asked softly, "Have you reached your limit?"
"Yes, twelve is the maximum."
"That's good too, we'll be in post-production soon."
Meeting her eyes, Chi Heng's lips curled up slightly, and he replied gently, "Yes, it's a pleasant surprise."
"Ah."
After exchanging a few quiet words with Yu Yao, Chi Heng began to prepare brunch in silence.
After thinking about it, Yu Yao decided to help him out.
Soon after, the other teammates began to finish absorbing the nutrients one after another.
Only after asking did I learn that Chi Heng had absorbed 12 mutated pearls, while the others had absorbed 10.
However, the results were quite good, and all of them reached the mid-level of level two.
......
Chi Heng and Yu Yao prepared an easily digestible breakfast and lunch consisting of lean meat porridge, cornbread, stir-fried bok choy, chicken breast, and stewed mutated silverfish.
There's a limit to how many mutated pearls a fish can absorb at each level, but silverfish don't have that limit.
Although it's not as effective as a mutated pearl, it's better than nothing.
In addition, large silverfish are easy to digest and delicious, making them a great choice to eat after diving.
As a major contributor, Moyu was also given an extra can of silverfish.
Yu Yao hadn't expected Chi Heng to do this.
But I soon figured it out.
As long as your teammates are reliable, why worry about anything else?
......
During the meal, the members of the Xuanfeng Squad gradually finished absorbing the nutrients, and their levels all increased.
Lin Fengmu is also close to reaching the late stage of level two.
Chu Chenzhou directly leveled up to level two with the help of mutated pearls, and then absorbed a few more, soon reaching the mid-stage of level two.
Apart from Bo An, who had just entered the mid-stage of level one, everyone else had reached the late stage of level one.
Their combat capabilities are also quite impressive.
When the two groups met up to chat after the meal.
Only then did Yu Yao and the others realize that, apart from Lin Fengmu, the other party had absorbed twelve pills.
The maximum number of items per level in Chu Chenzhou is also ten.
The others each had around seven to eight.
Indeed, the amount absorbed is related to innate talent.
Yu Yao couldn't help but glance at Chi Heng.
He gave her a slight, gentle smile, which even carried a hint of mischief, as she tilted her head slightly.
Lin Fengmu narrowed his clear, phoenix-shaped eyes slightly, his gaze towards Yu Yao carrying an accusatory tone.
It's as if it's saying, "What am I lacking that you're not looking at?"
Yu Yao: "......"
It's pretty boring!
She shifted her gaze expressionlessly and listened attentively to what the others were saying.
See it.
For a straight woman to look at flirtatious glances is no different than a blind man looking at an elephant.
......
After chatting for a while, everyone went back to rest.
They set off again in the afternoon.
In order to get back to Kyoto as soon as possible, they deliberately chose to travel through deserted areas with few people and relatively flat roads in the following days.
So it went relatively smoothly, and we didn't encounter too many difficult zombie hordes.
As they approached Yamanouchi Province, south of Kyoto, Dongfang Jin felt an extremely strong sense of unease.
That chilling feeling made even Dongfang Jin, who was usually unfazed by the collapse of Mount Tai, turn pale.
So the group immediately decided to take a detour to the west.
And so, on the eighth day after leaving the Lincheng safety zone, the group arrived in Qing Province, located in the central part of the country, after a long and winding journey.
This is an inland area with a relatively high elevation.
The weather is dry and windy.
The scorching wind felt like a series of slaps with sparks on one's face.
It hurts and burns!
In this kind of weather, not only Chen Wanjun, but also Yu Yao and Luo Mei didn't want to get off the bus.
But they had no choice but to get off the bus.
Because they were encountering the largest zombie horde in days, led by several level-three superpowered zombies!
Luo Mei, cursing and swearing, swung her Immortal-Slaying Blade through the horde of zombies.
Yu Yao secretly activated the "Riding the Wind" skill for her teammate.
He stood in mid-air, facing the surging tide of zombies without any fear.
As her hair flew about, her hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals. Talismans swirled in the air, transforming into various arrays according to her will.
After suppressing a large group of zombies, it shattered with a bang, with pleasing results.
Once the high-level zombies in an area are cleared out, Yu Yao will casually take out a rocket launcher and carry it on her shoulder.
They fired directly, blasting away all the remaining low-level zombies.
If you kill too many, you'll attract the attention of other high-level superpowered zombies.
He jumped down into the air to dodge attacks, then took out his twin swords and charged into the zombie horde to slash and kill.
The blade flashed, and each swing took the life of at least one zombie.
It was as if they were dancing a dance of death.
Despite the large number of zombies, they couldn't get close to her at all.
......
Qi Xian then took the Vermilion Bird Bow and found a secluded tree!
Each arrow killed a high-level superpowered zombie, greatly relieving the pressure on the others.
His ruthless actions quickly attracted the attention of another level-three superpowered zombie who had been hiding its abilities.
No one expected that it was a wood-type zombie, whose greatest skill was controlling plants.
Unfortunately, Qi Xian was on a big tree!
As soon as the level three wood-type zombie exerted its power, all the branches on the big tree seemed to come alive.
One by one, they attacked Qi Xian.
Although Qi Xian was protected by the Southern Bright Fire, he did not suffer any real harm, and the branches on the big tree were almost burned off.
But this also threw him off his rhythm.
Just as he jumped down from that pitiful tree, another metal-type zombie launched a dozen or so golden blade attacks at him.
It was only through Chi Heng's intervention that he was able to block it.
......
The fierce battle continues, with countless zombies lurking in the air.
Yu Yao had just leaped up and used a rocket launcher to take down a large number of low-level zombies.
Upon landing, a level-three speed zombie lunged at Yu Yao's back with incredible speed.
Jiang Yi, who was not far away, immediately used vines to imprison it, and Luo Mei then swung the Immortal Descending Blade with all her might to kill it.
Just then, an extremely thick vine suddenly sprouted from under Luo Mei's feet.
He then swiftly and tightly wrapped his arms around her.
Yu Yao immediately froze it with an ice-freezing array, then lit fire on her blade and chopped at the vine as it broke free of the ice.
The scene was filled with flashing swords and fiery shadows, creating an extremely powerful atmosphere.
Although several cuts did not completely sever the vines.
But the vines released Luo Mei as they wished and withdrew.
Luo Mei was out of danger for the time being, but Yu Yao herself was in a predicament.
Countless vines attacked her from all directions underground.
She used her cloud-stepping technique to dodge and weave, while simultaneously slashing at the vines, sending flames soaring into the sky.
When Luo Mei and Jiang Yi saw her being surrounded, they instinctively came over to help her.
Just as the three of them worked together in perfect harmony to drive away all the vines.
The thick vine that had retreated earlier suddenly shot out again, heading straight for Luo Mei at an extremely fast speed.
Upon seeing this, Yu Yao immediately used the Sky Rift to stop its movements, at the moment it paused.
Luo Mei had already cut the vine in half with her Immortal-Slaying Blade. As another vine attacked, Jiang Yi used it to pull Luo Mei away.
At that very moment, a unique dark brown vine suddenly sprang out from beneath Yu Yao's feet.
With nowhere to hide, she could only use her ethereal flash to teleport 10 meters away. Not far away, Dongfang Jin also released ice blades to entangle with the vines.
But as soon as she landed, an even faster vine shot out from under her feet.
It's obvious they're after her!
It makes it impossible to defend against.
Almost the instant the vines appeared, they wrapped around Yu Yao's waist and quickly dragged her to the ground.
People who are fast enough can barely see how she disappeared.
"Ayao!"
Luo Mei cried out in surprise, but Yu Yao was nowhere to be seen.
Clearly, the vine meandered around, but its purpose from the very beginning was Yu Yao!
The value of the strategy of "killing the healer first when the team fight starts" is still increasing...
