"Doctor Rong, I am also a member of the Fenghuo Mercenary Group. Every time I go out of the city to perform a mission, I go to Sibao Tower to buy various elixirs, armor, and talismans. This thing has saved me many times, so I admire you. You've been waiting for a long time." The man said and walked towards Rong Xianxian.
Seeing him coming, Rong Xianxian flashed slightly and came to Gu Ming's side, "Your name is Gu Ming, and the one on the ground is called Gu Yi. Who is he to you?"
"We are all brothers of our clan. I didn't expect him to disappear like this." Gu Ming's tone was low, sounding a little sad.
Rong Xianxian had determined from Gu Ming's answer that these people were the targets of her mission.
"Your brother's protective suit was not damaged in the first place. How did the tree roots get into his body?" Rong Xianxian looked at the group of people and asked.
"The withered blood tree suddenly lost control and its roots spread everywhere. When it was escaping, Gu Yi cut off the back. Maybe it was at that time that it got in!" Someone said in an uncertain tone.
"You are wearing level five protective clothing. As long as the protective clothing is not damaged, it can block all harm. Even if Gu Yi breaks off from behind, his protective clothing is intact and should not be invaded by tree roots." Everyone is wearing thick protective clothing, and their facial expressions are hidden behind protective helmets, so it is impossible to judge their mental activities at this time.
Rong Xianxian looked at the protective clothing worn by these people. Her eyes fell on the external oxygen bottle. Judging from the capacity of the oxygen bottle, this tank of oxygen can be used for up to three to six hours, which means that they can use it every other time. The oxygen cylinder needs to be replaced every three to six hours. Without taking off protective clothing, it is obviously impossible to do it by yourself. Those who need to help each other need to do so.
"Captain Rong, I am an academician of the Institute of Mutated Plants. This time we are mainly here to collect specimens to study the changes in the natural environment caused by the survival of the blood tree. I have here the research report of this field study. These reports are our The main results of this trip, since you can get here, you should be able to escape safely. I entrust these research results to you and I hope you can take them out." A researcher said solemnly He handed a backpack to Rong Xianxian.
"Academician Zhang, don't you know that Dr. Rong killed a level five monster with one blow on the night when the monster attacked the city? The crisis caused by the withered blood tree in the backyard of the Pharmaceutical Research Institute was also solved by Dr. Rong and Captain Ning. She They must have come to save us, so you should take your bag back to the capital yourself." The mercenary who just wanted to get close to Rong Xianxian said.
After listening to the mercenary's words, the scientific researchers seemed to be refreshed. If there was hope of survival, who would be willing to stay here and wait to die?
Rong Xianxian faced the eager eyes that were looking at her, thinking in her mind that she could only take two people away at a time using the flying carpet. Academician Zhang, who had important information in his hand, counted as one, so who should she take with her?
At this time, no one noticed that the mercenary who had just been pulled back from the edge of the stone by Rong Xianxian quietly moved to the edge of the stone, poured the liquid in a black glass bottle into the soil, and threw the glass bottle away at the same time. Go down.
When he turned around, he saw Rong Xianxian and others staring at him. Gu Ming frowned and asked, "He Yi, what are you doing sneakily? What did you pour just now?"
"I didn't do anything, I just threw away some useless things!" the mercenary named He Yi replied calmly.
"He helped change Gu Yi's oxygen cylinder, right?" Rong Xianxian suddenly asked.
"Yes, he changed it." Gu Ming didn't know why Rong Xianxian knew this.
The expression on He Yi's face behind his protective helmet changed drastically. He pounced forward and knelt down in front of Gu Yi, "Gu Yi and I walked in the same car and slept in the same bed. We are not brothers, but we are better than brothers. Now he is dead. , Doctor Rong, he was killed by a tree root, you can't doubt me just because we have a close relationship!" He Yi cried sadly.
"He Yi, don't be like this, no one will doubt you!" Gu Ming was about to pull him away when he saw the extraordinarily tall nine-forked blood tree a few hundred meters away suddenly grew taller. There was a roaring sound, and the originally solid land under the boulder became soft and muddy. The boulder slowly sank downwards, and it was seen that the boulder would be covered with soil.
Countless roots rushed towards the people on the boulder, "Doctor Rong, help!" Because the boulder was sinking, the researchers who were shaking under their feet shouted in panic.
"What did you just pour?" Rong Xianxian asked He Yi while using ice spells to freeze the soil under and around the boulder, as well as the roots flying in the sky.
"Looking at the state of this withered blood tree, it is about to evolve. The evolution of the Jiucha withered blood tree requires absorbing a lot of energy. The last time it evolved from Liucha to Jiucha, there was so much noise. This time, the situation is even more serious. , I’m afraid no one can leave today!” Academician Zhang murmured.
"Yes, so, in order to prevent this withered blood tree from harming the people, let's die together with it!" He Yi took off his protective helmet, revealing a face that was pale with sweat.
He Yi rushed to Rong Xianxian and scratched her protective clothing with a knife.
Rong Xianxian raised her foot and kicked him out. With a "bang", He Yi fell outside the boulder. As he flew out, he fired a signal bomb.
Seeing the signal flare emanating from deep in the dead forest, the regiment commander stationed on the periphery waved his hand. The position was confirmed and the booster missile could be launched.
Rong Xianxian had a bad premonition in her heart. She used Qiansi to pull He Yi back. He Yi, who had taken off her protective clothing, was already covered with fine roots, "Why did you do this? Who asked you to do this? ?”
Gu Ming and others also realized what was going on and stared at He Yi angrily.
"Dr. Rong, and brothers, don't blame me. I can't help it. Rong Xianxian, the bottle just now contained the blood of a high-level cultivator. This blood allowed the tree to start evolving. It wants to suck us dry." blood, the tree will complete its evolution, and we will all be sucked dry. I can't survive today, and no one can survive!" The pain of the tree root inserted into the body made the expression on He Yi's face distorted.
"You are so sure that this tree can complete its evolution!" Rong Xianxian sneered.
"This is its instinct, no one can stop it!" He Yi Zhuangruo said crazily.
Rong Xianxian took out a flamethrower in the sachet space and fired flames at He Yi, setting him on fire.
"What are you doing? Kill me!" He Yi shouted in pain.
"I can't let your body provide energy for the evolution of the withered blood tree! If you tell me who asked you to do this, I can give you a good time!" Rong Xianxian said expressionlessly.
