Cannon Fodder In Apocalypse: I Rule With Sanctuary Evolution System
Chapter 87: Soul-Eater Plant-2The farming spirit floated out of Ni Mengxue’s body and started to sprinkle the diluted solution across the field. A few of the vines tried to attack him, but they bypassed his body.
When a few vines tried to stop the farming spirit, he merely waved his hand. The next second, a miraculous scene appeared. The vines stopped sprouting.
He snorted disdainfully. "You’re all still far behind in terms of level."
Ni Mengxue paused, a glint flashing in her eyes. ’This farming spirit isn’t as simple as I thought.’
She watched him spread the diluted potion while the Soul-Eater Plant continued its attack.
Countless vines erupted from beneath the ground. In an instant, the peaceful green field transformed into a sea of writhing snakes.
Ni Mengxue didn’t dare take them lightly. She rushed toward the frozen vine holding Meng Xiaoni, only to realise that her own body was still partially frozen.
’If I unfreeze myself completely, the vines will attack me and might injure me too!’
She gritted her teeth and forcibly moved forward. The vines seemed to have been waiting for this opportunity. Several shot toward her.
Ni Mengxue used half of her remaining power to freeze them and barely slipped past their attacks before reaching Meng Xiaoni.
She immediately began stabbing the frozen vine with ice shards. As if sensing her intention, another vine suddenly shot toward Meng Xiaoni.
Ni Mengxue’s eyes flashed. She immediately redirected her power and froze it. But that left her exposed and vulnerable to the other attack. A black vine silently crept up behind her.
By the time she noticed it, it was too late. It wrapped tightly around her waist. Crack!
The pressure was so immense that Ni Mengxue felt as though her internal organs were being crushed. "Ugh!"
Pain tore through her body.
"Meng Xiaoni!"
She shouted his name, hoping the sound would break him out of the illusion. There was no response. Panic flashed across her eyes.
Then the farming spirit’s voice came from nearby. "All done, Ni Mengxue."
She immediately heaved a sigh of relief. "Set it on fire!"
The farming spirit didn’t hesitate. He summoned a matchstick from her space, struck it, and tossed it onto the moss.
Whoosh! The entire green field erupted into orange flames. Ni Mengxue immediately placed her hand against the black vine around her waist and released her ice power.
The vine gradually froze. Her breathing became increasingly difficult as it continued squeezing her. Once it was completely frozen, she stabbed it repeatedly with ice shards.
Crack! The vine finally loosened. Ni Mengxue dropped from the air and slammed onto the ground. She grimaced but immediately got back up and rushed toward Meng Xiaoni.
She continued attacking the frozen vine with her ice shards. Then she looked toward the farming spirit. "Can you pull him down?"
The spirit shook his head. "I can try, but this entire place might explode."
Ni Mengxue’s expression changed. "What?"
The farming spirit pointed toward the ground beneath them. "That thing is preparing to self-destruct."
Ni Mengxue nearly cursed. She tried entering her space while holding the frozen vine, but the moment she attempted to bring it inside, she was rejected.
’The space won’t accept it.’
She quickly entered alone and immediately came back out. Then she understood. The vine was connected to the Soul-Eater Plant’s main vine.
A Soul-Eater Plant had only one main vine. As long as it was destroyed, the entire plant would die. Ni Mengxue knew this possibility.
But didn’t think of using that method to eliminate the Soul-Eater Plant. It was famous for keeping it hidden and not exposing it in the open.
’Who would have thought this one would expose its weakness so willingly?’
She immediately resumed stabbing the frozen vine. It was painfully slow. The flames continued spreading around her, while the blazing sun made the temperature unbearable.
If she stayed much longer, heatstroke would become another problem. The farming spirit floated nearby, watching her struggle without the slightest concern.
"Can you do anything to help?"
He twirled lazily.
"I don’t think so. I can only control plants. I managed to control a few weaker ones because they’re within my current ability. As for the Soul-Eater Plant..."
He shook his head. "Dream on."
Ni Mengxue clenched her fist. "How unreliable."
She searched through her mind for another solution. Finally, she took a chainsaw from her space and began cutting through the frozen vine.
But even the chainsaw struggled against its toughness. "Dammit..."
Realizing brute force wasn’t working, she climbed onto the vine and continued upward. The sharp ice covering its surface tore her hands and legs, leaving several bloody wounds.
The smell of blood immediately attracted the Soul-Eater Plant. The burning vine suddenly twisted and lunged toward her.
Ni Mengxue’s expression changed. She quickly raised both hands. Ice surged outward, forming protective barriers around her, Meng Xiaoni, and the frozen vine.
The approaching vine crashed into the barriers with tremendous force.
Boom! The entire ground trembled.
Ni Mengxue gritted her teeth. ’Hold on, Meng Xiaoni. I’m getting you out.’
When she finally reached Meng Xiaoni, she grabbed his hand. "Enter."
The moment they entered her space, she opened her eyes and saw Meng Xiaoni lying beside her, still unconscious.
Ni Mengxue heaved a sigh of relief, but her expression soon changed. His body was unusually cold.
She quickly checked his temperature and realized he was running a fever. "I truly can’t have even a single day of peace."
She rummaged through her medicines, fed him the appropriate ones, and then took out the silver needles she had previously used on Lu Yucai.
After administering first aid and stabilizing his condition, she finally lay down on the ground to rest.
The farming spirit appeared beside her. "My reward."
At that exact moment, a system notification appeared.
[Ding! Meng Xiaoni’s route has been detected.]
[Ding! Meng Xiaoni has been rescued from a dangerous event. Reward: 10,000 Merit Points.]
Ni Mengxue had barely felt relieved when another notification appeared.
[Ding! A promise of 10,000 Merit Points has been made with the Farming Spirit.]
[Ding! 10,000 Merit Points have been transferred to the Farming Spirit.]
