Chapter 230 Whispers of Life
The system could detect a Level 4 anomaly, but he could not find its true location.
There were so many vines that suddenly sprouted on that open space that Xu Si couldn't tell which one was the parent plant.
Or are they both? Or neither?
At the same time, the spores that were scattered throughout the village suddenly burrowed into the ground and disappeared.
It only left behind fist-sized craters on the ground.
Only countless vines in the village remained, staring eerily at Xu Si in the sky.
The "Painful Gaze" property on the vines suddenly activated.
Xu Si felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his mind, as if countless venomous gazes were trying to invade his consciousness.
However, the calm chill of the [Heart of the Ice Abyss] flowed naturally, and the mental impact was quickly dispelled.
The "Heart Abyss" characteristic even faintly conveys a sense of "desire," as if it is quite interested in this mental attack filled with negative emotions.
Xu Si nimbly twisted and turned in the air, dodging several deadly lashes from the vines.
Taking advantage of this break, he pushed the "Ice Abyss" property to its limit!
A visible pale white cold current suddenly erupted from him, like an invisible giant ring of frost crushing downwards!
"Snap!"
Where the cold front passed, the air condensed into fine ice crystals, and the wildly dancing black vines below suddenly froze, their surfaces quickly covered with a thick layer of solid ice that shimmered with a ghostly blue luster!
Especially those "eyes" with cracks at the top, which quickly lost their luster under the erosion of the cold air and were frozen into ice beads.
A strong chill swept through, and the vines that had been eroded by the cold air shattered into ice shards.
But the mother plant's vitality is terrifyingly strong.
An even more violent tremor came from underground. The spores that had burrowed into the ground turned into vines that broke through the soil from the pits, seemingly endless.
"Brother Dao! Retreat! The whole village is covered in these vines!" Xiao Luo's anxious voice rang in Xu Si's mind.
The convoy had by then retreated to higher ground outside the village, where it was clear that the ground of most of the village was churning, centered on that open space, as if countless earth dragons were moving beneath it!
The group from Tashan had finally broken free of their entanglement, and upon seeing the terrifying scene in the central area, they couldn't help but gasp in horror.
"Knife! Don't be reckless! Run!"
As Xu Zhiyu ascended on his sword, the vines grew longer and continued to lash at Xu Si, resembling a raging "dark jungle."
He slowly exhaled a breath of white air tinged with ice crystals, a cold smile curving his lips.
"We have to get justice!"
Xu Si wasn't doing this for those few ordinary people, but for this flawed world.
The crows continued to circle high in the sky, their three heads fixed on the ever-churning "dark jungle," occasionally letting out urgent cries to send out danger signals to DouDou from below.
Xu Si hovered in the air, the cold mountain wind carrying the dust stirred up by the vines below.
He looked down at the bizarre creation that was growing wildly, and the crimson light deep within his star-like eyes swirled faster and faster.
These level 4 bizarre vitalitys are truly strong.
Needless to say, it took three explosions to destroy the [Time Delay Mirage].
[The Slothful Serpent] If he hadn't used Star Sacrifice, he probably wouldn't have been able to handle it;
The most troublesome thing is that this thing can reproduce infinitely using spores.
Because it's uncertain whether this guy will be instantly killed by its "Star Sacrifice".
If this [Spore-Eyed Earth Mother] still has a few spores remaining, then he will be completely helpless and at the mercy of others once he is exhausted.
Moreover, having tried the Star Sacrifice once, he didn't want to use it a second time unless absolutely necessary.
The endless weakness and sense of being out of control that follow are more terrifying than any danger.
No one would want to experience the feeling of having all their power dissipated in an instant.
Suspended in mid-air, Xu Si was momentarily at a loss for what to do with this [Spore-Eyed Earth Mother].
"Brother Dao, Brother Dao, Captain Fu wants you to withdraw first!" Xiao Luo's urgent urging voice rang in Xu Si's mind.
Xu Si was also hesitating whether to give up first, or to make one last profit before leaving.
At this moment, Yi Yi seemed to hear Xu Si's inner anxiety, and actually shed tears from Xu Si's forehead.
Its small body emitted a soft, icy blue halo in the air, which slowly drifted towards the vines beneath Xu Si's feet like scattered snowflakes.
At the same time, instead of unfolding its "soothing halo" as usual, it hovered over Xu Si's shoulder, its slender, beard-like arm gently resting on his temple.
An unprecedented, extremely subtle sensation seeped into Xu Si's consciousness like mercury.
It's not about sight or hearing, but about listening to the "pulse of life".
Is this a characteristic of Yi Yi's "Whispers of Life"?
Amidst the chaotic "noise of life" composed of countless wildly dancing, jet-black vines, splattering spores, and surging underground roots.
Yi Yi's "Whispers of Life" is like a highly accurate probe, penetrating layers of interference and exploring the depths of the earth.
Xu Si's starry eyes subconsciously responded to this perception.
What he saw was no longer a simple entity or energy flow, but countless "life consciousnesses" of varying strength and speed, flickering, flowing, and intertwining.
The whispers of life began to spread deep into the underground veins along with these life consciousnesses.
That vast "cluster of roots" is like a murky, turbulent underground river of life, with countless tributaries that disperse and converge.
Deep within this underground river, near the edge of the village, lies the foundation of a seemingly inconspicuous, half-collapsed adobe house.
An extremely solid, yet unusually "quiet" point of life is pulsating with a constant, rhythmic beat.
Yi Yi: Hello!
Xu Si: ? ? ?
Spore-eyed Earth Mother: ? ? ?
Xu Si and the unfamiliar consciousness were both stunned, not expecting that the open space was just a decoy.
With their consciousnesses synchronized, Xu Si's Star Eyes instantly locked onto the half-collapsed mud-brick house.
At the same time, seemingly sensing that it was being targeted by a real threat, the "Spore-Eyed Earth Mother" underground launched a frantic resistance!
The vines attacking the entire village suddenly became even more frenzied and chaotic, rushing towards Xu Si without regard for the consequences.
They tried to overwhelm him with sheer numbers to conceal the true location of the mother.
"It's too late."
The sequence origin within Xu Si's body was operating at an unprecedented speed.
As if sensing its master's determination, the star anchor emitted bursts of excited humming.
He greedily absorbed the heat and light of the blood-red sun, which even vaguely formed an energy vortex that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
In front of his palm, the air twisted and compressed, and a scarlet energy ball, only the size of a billiard ball but with starlight so dense inside that it seemed to be collapsing into a black hole, instantly condensed into shape.
Unlike any previous "starburst," this energy sphere was covered with fine, golden threads resembling star anchor patterns, emanating a terrifying aura of destruction.
This time, the energy compression of the "starburst" was several times greater than before.
With real-time tracking, Xu Si had no reason to miss.
