Chapter 47: They faced the giant snake and vowed to protect Mo Li to the death. Her heart stirred: S
Mo Li had already witnessed the battle between the two sides. She quietly released her swaying vines, which seemed to be holding back their energy. One of them stretched out a small branch and gently rubbed it against her fingertip. The next moment, it burrowed into the ground at a speed that could not be detected by the naked eye and spread rapidly, heading straight for the giant beast's lair.
This vine is a half-life vine of Mo Li's superpower. She nurtured it with a seed of a mutated ghost blood vine, and in order to help it advance, she traveled all over the world to find something that could help it. There was no way around it, this thing was just too strange, and the things that could help it were all more strange than the last.
The key point is that many of them are located in dangerous places that no one dares to set foot in. Fortunately, hard work pays off. Before crossing over, it evolved to the tenth level, and each level has a talent skill, which can easily kill that giant beast.
Because of the ferocity of the battle, Ye Zixuan and Dongfang Yu were completely outmatched. If they hadn't been wearing indestructible protective suits, they would probably be covered in injuries of all sizes by now.
Although no visible scars were visible on the outside, only they knew how bad the situation was inside. Their superpowers had reached the point of being completely exhausted, which was extremely dangerous. Even the warriors who fought the most brutal battles against the Zerg on the interstellar front would not exhaust their superpowers unless absolutely necessary.
If this is done, firstly, recovery will take a very long time and consume a huge amount of resources; secondly, it will severely damage mental strength; finally, it will affect future advancement of superpowers; and more seriously, the level of superpowers will stagnate from then on.
Their current problem is worse than simply reaching the point of exhausting their superpowers. Their mental seas are also beginning to show signs of turmoil. If they continue to fight in this way, which is equivalent to burning their own life force, they risk losing their lives.
Just as they exchanged a glance, intending to gather the last of their supernatural abilities and endure the immense pain to forcibly extract a portion of their spiritual power to unleash their strongest attack on the tongue, the tongue, which had just been arrogant, ruthless, and terrifyingly powerful, instantly became limp and fell straight to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust, before they could even retract it.
Ye Zixuan was completely dumbfounded: "What... what's going on? What happened?"
Dongfang Yu glanced at the tongue, now lifeless, and put his trembling hand behind his back. "Dead." He then turned and quickly walked to Mo Li, asking worriedly, "Are you alright? Were you frightened?"
Mo Li smiled, spread her arms, and spun around in place: "With you all protecting me so desperately, how could I possibly be in trouble? I'm fine. If anything should be in trouble, it should be you guys."
Ye Zixuan was somewhat annoyed that he was a step too late. He had intended to endure the intense pain emanating from all parts of his body, but it turned out that pain was not something that could be endured just by saying so. The pain made him gasp and hiss.
Mo Li found the solution both funny and infuriating, but mostly touching. She took out two green pills that emitted a strong woody fragrance and quickly fed them to them.
"It will help your body recover."
This is a Wood Essence Pill, made by extracting the essence of nearly a hundred kinds of precious herbs and condensing it with her own wood-type healing ability. It can truly bring the dead back to life and heal flesh and bones.
If it were a common injury, it could be treated with the medical bay in the spaceship. However, based on Mo Li's observation, it was clear that their injuries could not be treated by the medical bay.
After taking the Wood Essence Pill, Ye Zixuan and Dongfang Yu clearly felt the changes in their bodies. In order to prevent them from being disturbed and to allow them to recover from their injuries in peace, Mo Li had no choice but to take advantage of their unpreparedness and secretly repel the disgusting tentacles that kept reaching out from all directions. These things were really tenacious, and they didn't die easily. Although she felt a little annoyed and disgusted, she still turned each of them into ashes.
This battle, which went unnoticed, lasted until just before their wounds had healed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Mo Li's forehead.
Dongfang Yu took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her face, asking with some concern, "Are you feeling unwell? Why are you sweating so much?"
Ye Zixuan: "Ah Li, were you scared just now? That wretched beast, wait, I'm going to chop it into a thousand or eight hundred pieces right now."
"Wait a moment."
Ye Li called out to them.
"What's wrong, Ali?"
"No need, otherwise you'll miss out on an exquisite delicacy."
Ye Zixuan was puzzled: "What?"
As he finished speaking, the once pitch-black space began to light up little by little until the darkness was dispelled and the giant beast revealed its true form.
"A Zerg worm? How can there be such a huge one here?"
"The Zerg? It?"
This was the first time Mo Li had learned that snakes were a type of interstellar insectoid. It seemed she would need to spend more time researching related information later.
"Yes, this race of insectoids is very difficult to deal with. Just now, Dongfang Yu and I were lucky to avoid the venom it sprayed. If we had been infected, our mental strength would probably have been ruined."
Many frontline soldiers, due to the limitations of their combat protective suits, were rendered incapacitated after their armor was damaged in battle and they were corroded by the venom of the Longworm Clan; the venom directly affects their mental strength.
Mo Lihen could clearly hear the lingering fear in Ye Zixuan's tone. Indeed, after he finished speaking, he let out a long breath, patted his chest, and comforted himself, "Fortunately, although the battle was fierce, I subconsciously avoided the sprayed poison. Otherwise, I don't want to think about the consequences."
"I'll go collect that long worm, you two go and gather the fertile flowers."
Dongfang Yu stopped her: "It's too dangerous, let me do it."
“I have experience in handling ingredients. You two just go about your business, I’ll get it done quickly.” As he spoke, he took out a set of professional tools from his spatial storage. With a gentle pull, various types of knives were displayed in front of him and Ye Zixuan.
"This is amazing, Ali! Can you really eat this worm?"
"Yes, and it's very delicious, but it needs to be processed using professional methods. This mutated snake, besides its gallbladder, has eight venom sacs throughout its body, two of which are hidden and need to be thoroughly cleaned, otherwise it's inedible. And..."
Ye Zixuan's head was spinning: "You're right, professionals should do professional things. I'll go dig up the fertile flowers, it's not that complicated. Let's go, Dongfang Yu, don't cause trouble for Ali."
Dongfang Yu felt speechless. He really wanted to ask, "Who is more like the one causing trouble?"
Mo Li looked at the snake, which was at least a hundred meters long, and his eyes lit up. He picked up his knife and slashed it away so fast that he couldn't even see a shadow. His speed was unbelievable.
Ye Zixuan and his group thought they had done a very fast job. They wanted to see Mo Li's skills in dealing with the insectoids up close, but when they looked, the place where such a large, long worm had just been lying was completely empty, without a drop of blood, and there was no trace left behind.
"Ah Li, where's the snake?"
