The monster's chest was covered with armor made of twisted vines. Bai Ye's right hand made of vines condensed into a spear tip and pierced the vine armor hard, leaving only a shallow scratch.
If Bai Ye drives his psychic power and condenses the ancient sword with his own awakened psychic characteristics, it will be effortless to break through the vine armor. However, with the temporarily borrowed vegetative spiritual energy, it was somewhat powerless to break through the armor on the monster.
Just judging from the size and the solidity of the vines, it is obvious that this vegetative monster with little sense left can completely crush ordinary vegetative people in terms of spiritual energy level.
If the eleven of them hadn't been well-trained, they might not have been able to control him so quickly.
Bai Ye tried several times on the monster's chest with the short spear in his hand to evaluate the gap between the psychic power obtained by swallowing the fruit and the monster's psychic power.
After trying several times, Bai Ye discovered that the defensive power of the vine armor on the monster was about six times that of the vine armor on his own body. If there was no unique way of weaving the vine armor, the monster's spiritual energy level would probably be passed by himself. Six times the psychic power gained from devouring the fruit.
The twelve of them evenly shared all the psychic power of the four vegetative people. The psychic power obtained by one person was roughly equivalent to one-third of the total psychic energy of an ordinary vegetative person.
Just looking at the numerical value, the monster's spiritual energy level is roughly equivalent to the sum of two ordinary vegetative people.
But considering that the psychic power obtained by these people is only one-third of the amount of ordinary vegetative people, but qualitatively, there is not much change.
Therefore, even if the strength of the vine armor that you weave is not as strong as that of a normal vegetative person, it will not be too far behind. It will probably be about two-thirds to one-half of the strength of normal rattan armor.
To sum up, the spiritual energy level of this monster is roughly equivalent to the combined spiritual energy of three to four ordinary vegetative people.
After judging this, Bai Ye pulled out the short knife hidden in the scabbard on his calf. Because of her sudden height change, the short knife was hidden on her calf, just as naturally as hiding a dagger before.
Bai Ye grabbed the dagger in his left hand and neatly split open the monster's breastplate. He stretched out his plant-like right hand and pulled out the artificial metal pump from its chest.
The metal pump is made of silver zinc-iron alloy, and thick dark green juice is still flowing out from it, staining Bai Ye's vegetative right hand.
Unlike the vegetative boy they kidnapped before, the juice flowing out of this metal pump no longer smelled of vegetation, but instead had a rotten smell.
Bai Ye disassembled the metal pump without changing his expression and found a crystal core with a somewhat distorted shape.
Unlike the smooth crystal core given by Shen Yan before, this crystal core is about the size of an adult's fist, but its surface is as uneven as a walnut skin. Even the gem-like green has a hint of turbidity, mixed with red blood streaks. .
It looks like a diseased tumor.
Bai Ye took the crystal core and looked down at the vegetative monster that had long since lost its vitality.
This monster has two-thirds of its human body, which is much larger than a normal plant's human body. But his body was covered with big bumps, one after another as big as a baby's head.
Bai Ye opened a large bag on his left shoulder with a short knife and found that it was full of rotten meat, but there were still some plant vines left under the rotten meat.
These vines are half woody and half flesh, as if they are at the critical point of mutual transformation.
Combined with the abnormal degree of humanization in the monster, Bai Ye made a bold guess that the monster should be a vegetative state and had an 'anti-human' phenomenon due to unknown circumstances.
And this change does not seem to be friendly to vegetative people.
When Bai Ye recalled the battle, the monster's behavior felt more like a beast that had lost its mind. As for vegetative people, although most of their human senses have been degraded, their basic sanity will still exist.
"Virus...or genetic disorder?"
Bai Ye looked at the crystal in his hand and frowned slightly.
Originally, she was thinking about whether she could rely on absorbing the spiritual energy in this crystal to extend everyone's disguise time. After all, after the short fight just now, the limited time for disguise has been shortened again.
But now, she doesn't dare to use it anymore.
Bai Ye glanced at the spar in his hand again, turned around and handed it to a soldier: "Put it in a lead box and take it back."
Then she looked at Weishan and said, "Observe whether the plants around you have changed."
After all, they had just hunted a vegetative monster. If the surrounding plants were conscious and could detect anything, their behavior just now would most likely have been exposed.
Weishan nodded, pulled a companion, and walked together to the wall covered with vines not far away.
There is also a soldier who is holding a special portable freezing box to collect tissue fragments from the dead monster.
These tissue fragments contain the genetic information of monsters and can be taken back to the biological experts of the Special Affairs Bureau to help them study psychic monsters.
It is even possible to reverse the genetic technology used by the Saint-President Institute of Biology to create vegetative humans.
"White Team, we have a new discovery!"
The soldier collecting tissue materials from the corpse suddenly raised his head and sent a ray of pheromones to Bai Ye.
The soldier named Zhang Shu, holding a scalpel in his left hand and a freezer box tied to the vines in his right hand, squatted half-crouched behind the monster.
There was a surprised and slightly disgusted expression on his semi-vegetative face.
Bai Ye walked forward and saw that the two tumors on the monster's back had been cut open. However, what appeared in the tumors this time was no longer rotten flesh that had not been completely transformed, but a human face!
Two sarcoids, each with a half-melted human face exposed!
Zhang Shu frowned, stretched out his scalpel, gently fiddled with the two faces, and found some remaining bones under the melted flesh.
You can even find vines that are half plant and half flesh like other sarcomas, connecting these bones and human faces.
"The two faces exist together with the skull, most of which has disappeared."
As Zhang Shu spoke, he cut open the male's face and picked out half of the cheekbones.
"This is the part of the skull that belongs to this face. It can be clearly seen that the zygomatic arch has been melted away."
Bai Ye knelt down and carefully looked at the bones Zhang Shu had picked out. He could clearly see the ends of the cheekbones, and there were obvious signs of melting where the jawbone and skull were connected.
Zhang Shu raised his head and looked at Bai Ye: "I guess these two human faces should be the growth of the monster itself, but belong to the other two vegetative people."
"What originally appeared on this monster was not just two faces, but more body parts. At least the head should be complete, but the remaining bones and other flesh and blood tissues have been melted away."
"It may not be appropriate to say melting. It feels more like being 'digested'..."
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd.
"Human face...my face!!"
Bai Ye turned his head and happened to see the soldier who had gone to seal the crystal stone. He was now staring at the crystal stone in his hand with a horrified look on his face.
The jagged crystal gradually revealed a distorted face.
Judging from his face, he looked like a warrior holding a spar!
