# Chapter 1005: Pulling a Chestnut from the Fire
Outside the Mist Swamp Restricted Zone, a large force of Dragon Abyss Dark Night had assembled!
Although they had been constantly controlling the spread of the Mist Swamp Blood Vine, the area it had encroached upon was still about a third larger than before!
The air was filled with the smell of burning, and sparks were flying everywhere in the sky!
In the stationed camp!
Li Bing, wearing a white lab coat, stood on top of the Steel Dragon City vehicle!
With round-framed glasses on her face, a lollipop in her mouth, and a faint smile on her pretty face!
Hands in her pockets, she gazed with infatuation into the depths of the restricted zone!
"Hehehe~ Such good stuff! I really want to go in and slice the Mother Vine for research!"
Beside her, Wang Dalei's face darkened.
Good? What's so good? He was about to worry himself to death!
To control the spread of the Mist Swamp Restricted Zone, he had invested a massive amount of troops!
The situation on the Western Frontier was urgent, and they were almost out of available manpower, unable to make ends meet!
The Brahma Society was constantly causing trouble, and he didn't know if 097 could hold up!
The Spirit Martial Forces assembled here were meant to support 097!
"Why is there still no news? Could something have happened on the way?"
But just then, the bearded Wei Hai raised his binoculars, his eyeballs bulging so much they almost shattered the lenses!
Σ(|||ര口ര)
"Brother Dalei! What the hell is that? A giant flying aircraft carrier?"
In an instant, everyone looked toward the sky!
A cone-shaped floating island covering over 300,000 square meters was slowly flying over, crushing the air as it came!
In front of the floating island, over a thousand Dragon Abyss Dark Night soldiers were flying, pulling the floating island forward with iron chains!
On the walls, there were also many Earth, Metal, and Wind system cultivators assisting!
Providing power for the giant flying island!
Accompanied by the chants of "Hei ha~ Hei ha~" and the dull sound of air explosions, the giant floating island moved sideways!
Casting a huge shadow on the ground!
For a moment, all the Dragon Abyss Dark Night outside the restricted zone were petrified, their eyes filled with shock!
What... what the hell is this?
Wang Dalei swallowed his saliva: "This... this is from the 097 outpost!"
They had just sent a message asking them to come out and pick up some stuff!
Now this? They brought the whole outpost here? Isn't that a bit over the top?
Jiang Douya stood on the city wall and quickly shouted: "Air brake! Hit the air brake! If we overshoot the boundary, we're all dead!"
The Dragon Abyss Dark Night quickly pushed back, braking the floating island at the edge of the restricted zone!
Wang Dalei said in shock: "How... how did you guys manage this?"
Jiangnan: ╮(•́ꇴ•̀)╭
"There were too many Blood Vines on the ground, it was hard to get around, so we built a floating island to stay in the sky. Is there a problem?"
Wang Dalei felt like he had eaten three pounds of steamed buns, completely choked speechless!
There it is! Versailles Jiang!
And here I was worried that you were isolated and helpless inside, struggling...
I even prepared to send support, but it looks like the situation inside is completely different from what I imagined!
You're living it up so well?
Truly ascended!
Li Bing widened her eyes in confusion.
(ರ⌂ರ?) "Where? Where is Brother Jiangnan? I can't see anything!"
Wang Dalei said helplessly: "That little dot on the city wall. Who knows how he made himself so small!"
Li Bing stacked two binoculars together to use, and finally spotted Jiang Douding standing on the wall!
"Pffthahaha! What the hell! You're so cute!"
Jiang Douding!
No real man would like being called cute by a girl, right?
"Didn't you say you were bringing us something good? What treasure is it?"
"I specially brought the 097 over to load the treasure!"
Li Bing's eyes were full of excitement as she pointed at the Steel Dragon City behind her!
"I've analyzed the gene chain of the Mother Vine's roots and made a major breakthrough. I've figured out how the Mother Vine operates!"
"Let me tell you! This creature is almost perfectly designed! It can't be naturally formed. Its genes must have been modified by something!"
"It was created! Absolutely incredible!"
"If I can slightly modify its gene chain, I can completely turn the Mother Vine into something else!"
"On its DNA double helix structure, guanine always pairs with cytosine. If I can modify the base sequence on the gene chain..."
At this moment, Li Bing was completely lost in madness, chattering away on the vehicle roof, leaving everyone confused!
(･´‸･｀)?
Only Yang Cheng looked ecstatic, letting out admiring exclamations while pulling out a notebook to take notes!
"Ice God! The eternal god! How did she think of that?"
Jiangnan: (≖_≖)...
"So, Sister Bingbing, can you translate that into human language?"
Li Bing waved her hand grandly, her expression solemn!
(๑•̀⌂•́)و "I want to create a brand new type of spiritual creature! Since the Mother Vine changed the atmosphere to be mainly chlorine-based and used a force field to mutate all of you!"
"I'm going to create another Mother Vine! One that generates a new force field, mutating the atmosphere back to being mainly oxygen-based!"
"Then mutate you all back to normal! All the problems will be solved!"
"You have to use a monster to defeat a monster!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at Li Bing!
Jiangnan was extremely excited: "My god! That's amazing! As expected of the Ice God!"
Li Bing looked proud!
(︶ꇴ︶๑) "Hmph~ I'm impressive, aren't I? Don't worship me too much!"
"I've even thought of a name for the new species. It's called Heavenly Cong Qing Vine!"
Jiangnan swallowed his saliva: "So where is that Heavenly Cong Qing Vine?"
Li Bing coughed lightly: (๑◔ก◔ิ)
"Cough~ I haven't created it yet. I'm missing key materials. The gene chain is already written!"
"With the materials, I can get it done immediately!"
Jiangnan: (≖～≖) Eh~
So after all your rambling, it's just a fantasy?
I thought you'd already made it and brought it here!
"What materials are you missing? Isn't the Mother Vine root enough?"
Li Bing quickly said: "I need the Mother Vine's stem. That thing only exists in the main body, equivalent to the brain stem and spinal cord of a spiritual beast! The more the better!"
"I also need the Mother Vine's spiritual pearl. Not the whole thing. Just knock off a small piece for me!"
Jiangnan: (⁼̴◡⁼̴٥)
"What else do you need? Should I just tie up the whole Mother Vine and bring it over?"
Li Bing waved her hand: "No need! Just a small piece of the spiritual pearl and the stem will do!"
"Don't kill the Mother Vine when you knock off the spiritual pearl, or you'll all die!"
"Oh, and I also need Xiao Mila's blood. I have big plans for it!"
"These little things are nothing for my Brother Jiangnan, right? You can handle it in no time!"
Jiangnan: !!!
Handle it? How the hell am I supposed to handle it?
The Mother Vine's main body is at Starlight Peak level, and you want me to extract its brain stem?
And knock off its spiritual pearl?
Pulling a chestnut from the fire, farting from the brain?
You're overestimating me too much, aren't you?
The Mother Vine is bound to hang me up and whip me!
As its core, even a fool can imagine how tight the defenses are!
And there's the Dao Heaven level expert Pepper personally guarding it!
Plus, I don't have any backup here. Nephew Da Zhi, Brother Li, Old Brother Ye can't come in!
Pulling a chestnut from the fire doesn't even cover it. A hundred S-ranks wouldn't be enough to describe the difficulty of this mission, right?
"Eh... Am I really that amazing?"
Li Bing spread her hands: ╮(•́.̫•̀)╭
"Isn't it like a crotch on fire—naturally burning?"
"You're the god who brought back two resource layer cores from the Abyss! What's a little thing like this?"
Jiangnan covered his cheeks, twisting like a little rubber band!
❀୧(⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)✿
"Giggle~ Don't say anymore~ I'm not that amazing at all. It was all luck! Hehehe~"
Li Bing quickly went along with it!
(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) "No! That's strength!"
"You're the guy who single-handedly leveled Sector 53 and pulled a floating island out of the Void Sea! The World's Strongest Platinum!"
"You don't know how many girls have caught a disease called Nan Yan Addiction. They howl at the sight of you and love you to death!"
Jiangnan's expression turned serious, his eyes flashing with determination!
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "I'll take care of the experimental materials. Is 10 tons of stem enough?"
"How big of a piece of the spiritual pearl do you need? Will half do?"
Li Bing: ୧(｡˃᷄ꇴᵒ̌)૭✧ Nice!
Guan Tai and Liu Mang beside them were sweating profusely!
!!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ Hey hey hey!
Are you serious? You're just agreeing like that?
Even if you're a Space System, there's no way you can get the materials from the Brahma Society's underground city and leave safely!
Who gave you the courage to agree?
Was it the flattery?
Wang Dalei smiled bitterly. Jiangnan really dared to say anything!
Only a fool wouldn't understand the danger of this mission. One wrong move and it's eternal damnation!
How could the cunning Jiangnan not know?
Put yourself in his shoes—even if he himself tried to do this, he might not succeed!
But Jiangnan still agreed without any hesitation!
This guy is going to risk his life again, isn't he?
