At this moment, everyone noticed the changes in their bodies. Their footsteps became lighter, they became faster, and they became stronger!
Previously, they felt that climbing up the heavy truck was very strenuous. But now, they could simply jump on it in one go.
Everyone was surprised, however, the ground was still cracking. They hurriedly started the vehicles to prevent them from sinking deeper.
Tang Mingchu laughed coldly. “Long time no see, old friend!”
In an instant, he rose into the air and fired lightning at the two vines that wanted to chase after him. Previously, when they used the Five-Element Talisman, it was not very effective. Now that their powers had reached the second level, they could finally face it head-on!
Cheng Cheng and Bai Yanhui’s lips curled up as well. They realized Tang Mingchu was still holding a grudge for being dragged up and tortured!
Eighth stepped on one of the vines and released his poison. The pink vines instantly turned purple-black, and it spread at an extremely fast speed. Then he grabbed another vine that wanted to attack him in the air. That vine immediately withered and it no longer dared to provoke him.
They easily dealt the dozens of vines that had been pulled out of the ground. Just as they were gathering strength to face the next wave…
All the other vines that were about to drill out of the soil suddenly shriveled up!
Everyone immediately realized something and looked in the direction where Tang Susu had disappeared.
A slender and beautiful girl supported a limp person as she walked over. On her other hand, there was a pink crystal core that was almost transparent!
She threw it over, and Tang Mingchu immediately took a tissue to help her wipe it clean. “Susu, here!”
Lu Yunxiang bit her lip and said, “Do you still remember the time when Tang Mingchu went missing in Qingzhou Shelter? Steward Duan and I questioned you because… We knew that there were crystal cores in these vines that had a high chance to awaken one’s superpower. At that time, we were just waiting for the right time to harvest these crystal cores.”
“The time is ripe?”
“We couldn’t beat them, so we wanted to make more preparations first.”
“Then did you warn others not to go near that place?” At this moment, Tang Susu was somewhat sharp. After all, her third brother had suffered quite a bit at that time.
Bai Yanhui also became a little serious.
Lu Yunxiang felt her face burning. “I reminded them, but I underestimated the power of this thing. It can even be used from such a long distance… However, we didn’t tell them what it actually was. We were afraid that others would find out about them and steal the cores from us…”
In the end, Tang Susu and the others beat them to it, and the crystal core was used to upgrade his brother, helping him awaken his superpower. It was a blessing in disguise.
She threw one to Lu Yunxiang. “Something’s happening over there. Catch up with them!”
Lu Yunxiang wanted to say something, but Tang Susu had already left.
She held the crystal core tightly, her heart unusually heavy, and she felt a little ashamed.
“Keep it. Susu knows you prepared it for Manager Duan.” Bai Yanhui patted her back. He remembered she had indeed told everyone to pay attention, but he had not taken it seriously. In the end, he was dragged to the ground. It was indeed none of her fault.
When they quickly caught up with the convoy in front, countless pine needles shot out from the depths of the forest like sharp weapons, but they were inexplicably bounced back when they almost hit the convoy!
For a moment, the entire road was covered with mutated pine needles that flickered with a cold light like needles of steel.
Tang Susu knew the barrier was working.
However, they were not so lucky.
Eighth cursed and quickly dodged. He was best at chemical attacks, but he couldn’t do much against physical attacks!
Just as he was being flustered, Tang Mingchu smiled and slapped a talisman on him. Before he could react, he had already burrowed into the ground.
The ground suddenly became as soft as cotton candy. When he climbed out of the soil, he gave the people who were driving a fright.
After passing through the pine forest area, it looked much safer. Everyone stopped their vehicles.
When Eighth crawled out of the ground like a zombie, he saw the culprit was already sitting in the car, smiling and admiring his embarrassment.
Last night, Tang Mingchu had suggested that he should reveal all of his boss’s flaws. The more the better. Naturally, Eighth didn’t agree to it.
Luodeng jumped out of the car, still in shock. “This place changed so much. A lot of people used this path in the past, but now…”
There were abandoned cars everywhere on the roadside, and some were lying in the middle of the road. They had been sucked dry by something, leaving only skeletons lying on the ground.
The road that used to be cleaned regularly was covered with weeds, moss, and strange vines. The blue sky was covered by the dense vines, blocking the light..
