C19 Hidden Dangers

The story started from just now.

Just as Tao Yao was about to dig out the green vine, the roots in the pot suddenly rushed towards Tao Yao and tightly wrapped around her, turning her into a white chrysalis.

Tao Yao's heart skipped a beat. She thought that she was done for. Just as she was about to be covered by the green vines, the Spatial Elf, Miaomiao, suddenly appeared and saved her.

A white light flashed past, and the surrounding roots instantly shattered into pieces. A red-green pearl flew out of the green vine's body and quickly entered Tao Yao's stomach. Then, Tao Yao arrived in a dark place.

"Huh? What is that?" A green light flashed in the dark place, and a cold wind suddenly blew. The wind blew the air and made a whimper sound. It was as if thousands of people were wailing. A thick blood mist drifted along the wind. Looking at the strange scene in front of her, Tao Yao's entire body was covered in a cold air, and her scalp was numb.

Then, the blood mist condensed into a bloody and cruel picture. Tao Yao was so shocked that she was dumbfounded.

The main characters in the picture were all green vines. It turned out that this green vine had been fortunate enough to evolve in the early days of the apocalypse. At first, it was ignorant of everything around it and did not harm anyone. But by chance, it knew that human blood could allow it to obtain more energy, so it became greedy and harmed people again and again.

It started to use the food in the supermarket as bait, successfully attracting groups of people. When the humans were overwhelmed by the surprise and were defenseless, the green vine silently dragged them to the second floor and sucked their blood dry. The pungent stench was like what Wang Hu had guessed. It could secrete a substance that could neutralize the smell of corpses. Therefore, when the green vine died, the stench also came out.

As for the green pearl, it was the crystal core of the green vine. The reason why the crystal core entered Tao Yao's body was that the sudden burst of power in the Purple Spiritual Space made the crystal core feel a sense of crisis. Its survival instincts made it escape into Tao Yao's body. On the other hand, Tao Yao was a mutated wood-type mutant, so the crystal core was intimately close to Tao Yao.

This was a good thing, but the bad thing was that the blood-colored mist that was wrapped around the pearl. The reason why Tao Yao was unconscious was mainly because of the blood-colored mist.

"Yaoyao, sit cross-legged and calm down. Put aside the distracting thoughts in your heart and try to feel the power of the crystal core above." Miao Miao's voice sounded in her ears.

Tao Yao did as Miao Miao said. Soon, she felt the crystal core's obvious intimacy. Ten minutes later, Tao Yao felt a trace of power flowing through her body. Finally, the crystal core turned into a ball and floated into Tao Yao's pores. More and more power flowed through Tao Yao's body. However, no one noticed that a trace of blood-colored mist wrapped around the green energy and floated into Tao Yao's body.

After digesting the crystal core, Tao Yao suddenly opened her eyes. The sunlight outside the window was especially glaring. She slowly closed her eyes again and used her hand to block the sunlight. When she opened her eyes again, a few figures surrounded Tao Yao. A large shadow fell on Tao Yao. Tao Yao moved her hand away and raised her head stiffly. A few large heads appeared in front of Tao Yao.

Tao Yao's face suddenly turned purple. The corner of his mouth was swollen into a bun. Tao Yao was startled. She could even hear her own rapid heartbeats. It was as if her heart was beating on a drum. She put her hands on her hips and made a circle. "I don't know how scary a person can be!"

Everyone was shocked by Tao Yao's reaction. They didn't pay much attention to her tone. For a moment, their expressions were awkward and they averted their eyes.

In the end, it was Wang Hu who saw the awkward atmosphere and waved his hand in disdain. He said, "It'll be fine once the person wakes up. Why are you all gathered here?"

"How is it? Is there anything on you that doesn't feel well?" Wang Hu asked unnaturally. After being with those rough men for a long time, he didn't know how to get along with the delicate girl. He felt strange.

"I'm fine. Look." Tao Yao made a strong man gesture.

Actually, Tao Yao wasn't exaggerating. Ever since she absorbed the crystal core, she felt that her body was extremely good. Even her superpower that was so weak could be improved.

"You've been unconscious for a day and a night."

"What? A day and a night?" Tao Yao looked at Wang Hu in shock. She couldn't believe that she had actually been unconscious for such a long time.

After lying down for so long, Tao Yao came to the first floor.

Everyone saw Tao Yao come down and greeted her one by one, making her feel a little overwhelmed.

Tao Yao understood a little bit more after thinking about it. It must be that her performance in the battle with the green vines was recognized by them.

Tao Yao smiled and greeted them. She walked to Wang Hu's side and asked about the next plan. Wang Hu looked into the distance and said with his hands behind his back, "Everyone's injuries are almost healed, so I have already asked Yang San and Ye Feng to get two cars. When they come back, we will set off."

Tao Yao nodded with a face full of approval. Although she didn't feel the strong sense of crisis like last time at home, she still felt uneasy and anxious. It was better for her to leave early.

Not long after, Ye Feng and Yang San came in with red faces. Ye Feng shouted excitedly to Wang Hu from afar, "Big brother, we are so lucky today. We saw two unowned cars on this road. And those cars are probably new. The fuel tanks are full."

Tao Yao was also affected by their smiles and looked happy. When Yang San saw Tao Yao, his smile was a little unnatural. The usually carefree man was actually a little nervous today.

Tao Yao looked at Yang San in confusion.

Yang San looked at Tao Yao's puzzled gaze, and his dark face flushed red. After a long while, he said in a muffled voice, "That day, it's all thanks to you. I will remember this favor in my heart." After saying that, he ran away as if there was a wolf chasing him.

Tao Yao was dumbfounded by Yang San's words.

"This big guy is actually..." Ye Feng explained the situation in a few sentences.

Tao Yao shook her head and laughed, "If it wasn't for everyone holding the green vine, I wouldn't have had the chance to destroy the green vine's root on the second floor."

"You can't say that. If you didn't kill the green vine at the last moment, Yang San would have been in a miserable state."

...

"Since the car is here, let's pack up and leave," Wang Hu said to everyone.

The things were quickly arranged and placed in the trunk. The group of seven were ready to set off. Wang Hu walked in front with big strides and waved his hand, "Let's go."

Tao Yao, Wang Hu, and Ye Feng were in the same car. The remaining four were in separate cars. Two cars drove west one after another. The little black cat also came out from a corner and jumped under the car, following Tao Yao and the others.
