Chapter 1038: Bluffing! I've Got It Under Control
Lying on the bed, Jiangnan was a bit paranoid!
He had gotten quite a bit of news about the Holy Star from Xingyao Wei!
The Mother Vine came from the Holy Star; the Brahma Society was nothing but a pawn, and the Holy Star was the one pulling the strings!
Now that the underground city had been collapsed by him, the Holy Star would certainly take action!
That so-called Heaven Slaughter Project sounded incredibly badass!
But Jiangnan still hadn't figured out the content of the plan so far!
There was nothing he could do about it—the Holy Star was too deeply hidden!
For now, all he could do was strengthen defenses and stay alert!
Half-asleep, Jiangnan sank into deep slumber.
Until the next morning, when the door to his room was suddenly thrown open!
Xia Yao leaped onto Jiangnan's bed in a flying tackle, shaking him vigorously!
(ᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌۶)۶(⁼̴﹃⁼̴｡)
"Xiao Nan! Get up quickly! Sister Li Bing and the others have brought the treasure to 097!"
"They even drove Dragon City straight in!"
Forcefully awakened, Jiangnan's eyes were blurry at first, then they lit up brightly!
"It's done so soon?"
He scooped up Da Lang Mie in one arm, and the next moment, he was already high in the sky, plummeting down!
Accompanied by Xia Yao's startled cry!
A steel dragon city was parked in front of the huge pit left by the sudden rise of 097!
Many members of the Dragon Abyss Dark Night were transporting supplies downward.
Accompanying them were large batches of support troops, over thirty thousand in total!
They were all transferred from various outposts!
There were also many nurses in white lab coats!
At the moment, Li Bing was sucking on a lollipop, intently staring at the pit.
Jiangnan landed with a thud: "How did you guys just march in? Aren't you all trapped inside now?"
Li Bing had huge dark circles under her eyes, but wore a smug expression.
(›●.̮●‹) "What's there to be afraid of? The Tiancong Green Vine has already been made; everyone will be mutated back soon!"
"The reason so many people came is to cook for Little Vine—the little guy has a big appetite; you all wouldn't be able to handle it alone!"
Jiangnan was full of excitement: "Where is it? Where's the monster used to counter the Mother Vine?"
Li Bing looked enchanted.
(ʃƪ¯᷄◡¯᷅) "Hehe~ It's my masterpiece. I used Xiao Mila's blood to complete its Spirit Bead and modified part of its gene sequence!"
"Once it grows up, it can form a Tiancong Force Field, creating an atmospheric structure completely suitable for human survival!"
At this point, Li Bing grew even more excited, her eyes shining with light!
"Inside the Tiancong Force Field, the oxygen content is about 27%, nitrogen 72%, plus some rare gases. It's a bit oxygen-rich, but that's the limit of what we could modify!"
"Long term, some plants and animals inside the Tiancong Force Field might become gigantic due to the oxygen-rich environment, since it's close to prehistoric atmospheric composition!"
"But that doesn't matter. Ahhh~ I actually created such a perfect ultimate lifeform? I'm such a little genius!"
Jiangnan was also extremely curious, with a longing look in his eyes.
Seeing Jiangnan's obvious thirst, Li Bing grinned and pulled a glass jar out of her pocket.
(｡˘•ꇴ•˘)つ༼ᥬ᭄༽✧
"Ta-da~ The ultimate perfect creature! The winning weapon against the Mother Vine!"
Jiangnan: (≖‸≖)...
Are you kidding me?!
Inside the glass jar was a green vine as thick as a finger, its entire body warm and smooth like jade, gently swaying.
"Seriously? This little vine? Sure it can handle that huge chunk of Mother Vine?"
With so many tons of experimental material, this is all that came out?
Li Bing looked smug.
(乛◡乛๑) "Hmph! What do you know? It may be small now, but it'll grow bigger later. Once developed, it won't be smaller than the Mother Vine!"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "This thing?"
Li Bing licked her lips: "Don't believe me? Watch this pit!"
With that, she tossed the glass jar down. Everyone watched with anticipation.
The next moment, with a "boom," a green vine over thirty meters thick shot out from the giant pit, growing to seventy or eighty meters tall in an instant!
It kept growing, its rank only at Gold level!
The thick vine plunged into the earth, drilling deeply into the root systems of the surrounding Blood Vines!
The blood mist vines by the pit struggled frantically, then withered and died.
Then, one green vine after another broke through the ground, blooming snowy white flowers like cotton candy clouds, incredibly brilliant!
A particularly pleasant floral fragrance filled the air.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the area for thousands of meters became the territory of the Tiancong Green Vine, and its rank directly broke through to Platinum, its size exceeding a hundred meters!
Those low-rank blood mist vines became nutrients for the Tiancong Green Vine instead.
Seeing this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. It's this fierce?
Li Bing chuckled: "That's Little Vine's blood drinking technique—using vines to nourish vines!"
"If it devours all the Blood Vines, who knows what kind of monster it'll evolve into?"
"Little Vine has all three of the Mother Vine's talent skills, and because of Mila's blood, they're even stronger!"
Wang Dalei was shocked: "After it grows strong, it won't rebel or anything, will it?"
Li Bing smiled confidently: "I'm like half its mother. Would it dare?"
At that moment, the Tiancong Green Vine lowered several branches toward Jiangnan.
Like tentacles, they touched and poked him.
Li Bing became extremely excited: "Don't move! You drank the Vine Marrow; there's still a lot of Vine Marrow aura on your body. The little guy probably recognizes it!"
Jiangnan was stunned. It could recognize that?
Just then, the Tiancong Green Vine's branches tensed up, seeming about to pierce into Jiangnan's body.
Jiangnan's eyes widened, pulling out a Small Stool as if to smash it.
"Going against heaven, huh? You want to suck on me? Without me, would you even exist? I'm practically half your father!"
The moment the Tiancong Green Vine saw Jiangnan raise the stool, it shuddered, as if awakening the deepest, most terrifying memory of its soul!
The entire vine curled up into a ball, trembling and cowering.
୧༼˃᷄～˂᷅༽୨
Jiangnan was dumbfounded. He hadn't even hit it yet, and it was already this scared?
Li Bing was stunned, then excited: "The Tiancong Green Vine originated from the Mother Vine and retains some of the Mother Vine's cognition, even engraved into its instincts!"
"Little brother Jiangnan, what exactly did you do to the Mother Vine to make even a differentiated vine this afraid of you?"
Jiangnan: (๑◔3◔ิ๑)
"Nothing much. Just dug a hole, pulled out a bit of vine stem, smashed its Spirit Bead, and drank the Vine Marrow, that's all."
Zhang San twitched his mouth. As a witness, you clearly did everything you should and shouldn't have done!
The Tiancong Green Vine trembled for a long time, then tentatively extended a branch to Jiangnan, rubbing against his cheek vigorously!
It used its vines to massage his back and shoulders.
It also transmitted some Life Essence gained from blood drinking to Jiangnan to nourish him.
It did everything it could to ingratiate itself!
Jiangnan looked pleased: "Mm~ Now that's a good kid! You have good eyesight!"
"Follow Nan Shen's lead! Three days, nine meals!"
Xiao Jiuwo ground her teeth: "I feel my position is seriously threatened."
Seeing this, Wang Dalei and Guan Tai were also quite shocked.
No wonder he's the founding master of the pet taming school!
He really knows how to handle spirit beasts! Forget about rebellion or losing control—this one has already started licking!
Li Bing clapped her hands: "Alright, everyone, get to work!"
"The Green Vine needs to reach Diamond rank to open the Tiancong Force Field and mutate everyone back!"
"First, kill all the Blood Vines on our turf, then deal with the ones in Brahma country!"
The Dragon Abyss Dark Night members roared in unison, ready to sweep through and provide nutrients for the Tiancong Green Vine.
That's also why so many people were mobilized.
At this moment, Chen Daoyi, who had recently awakened from his fake death state, arrived on the scene with a nervous heart.
"Th... that matter, how was it handled?"
Wang Dalei's expression turned cold: "All the names and forces on the list have ceased to exist. All Blood Vine seeds were destroyed centrally."
"As for the Chen family..."
Chen Daoyi's heart clenched hard. It had only been this long, and they had already wiped out the forces that had carried out the deeds?
This showed the attitude from above!
Wang Dalei's gaze fell on Jiangnan.
"Brother Jian said that how to deal with the Chen family is for Jiangnan to decide. No matter what the decision, the higher-ups will follow Jiangnan's wishes."
Chen Daoyi was stunned, and Jiangnan was also baffled.
(•︠⌂•︡)ᕤ "Me? I'm just a trash Platinum? What decision can I make? This kind of thing should be handled by the higher-ups..."
Wang Dalei stepped forward, patted Jiangnan on the shoulder, and grinned.
"Cut it out. If you're trash, then there's nothing tough left."
"Brother Jian's exact words: He has a sense of the big picture; he can handle it. Let him decide."
Jiangnan was taken aback. Logically, this matter shouldn't fall to him, but Yang Jian gave him the authority to decide?
Wang Dalei said bluntly: "If you say exterminate, we'll do it now. Chen Daoyi won't leave the Western Frontier alive."
As he spoke, killing intent filled Wang Dalei's eyes.
Chen Daoyi swallowed hard, looking at Jiangnan and shaking his head, his eyes full of pleading.
He never expected that Jiangnan's single word could now decide the fate of the Chen family.
Jiangnan grinned. Big Thunder Nephew isn't stupid either; he played the bad cop well.
"Then I'm going to decide now, okay?"
Chen Daoyi's heart rose, his palms sweating.
