# Chapter 981: Plant People
The three incomplete corpses emitted a pungent bloody smell!
The curly-haired man's gaze immediately fell on Jiang Nan, his pupils constricting!
They let Jiang Nan into the Misty Swamp?
Was Huaxia crazy? Daring to throw such a precious person in there?
[From Pei Xi's resentment value +1000!]
His eyes rolled around rapidly as he raised his hands and lay face down on the ground, holding his head!
His eyes were full of indignation!
"You're committing genocide, inhumane genocide, violating international regulations!"
"My friends and I were kindly managing the vine problem, and you slaughtered us!"
"There's no justice anymore! Huaxia's Dragon Abyss is killing innocent people!"
Pei Xi roared at the top of his lungs, looking at the three corpses with a green glint in his eyes.
Jiang Nan squinted, stepped forward, and planted his foot on Pei Xi's head.
He stomped his head into the mud pit, bent down, and pulled out a cloth bag from his chest. It was filled with blood-red seeds!
"Shut the hell up! Who allowed you to step onto Huaxia's territory?"
"Managing the vine problem? Were you planting blood vines in the soil? Do you think I'm blind?"
[From Pei Xi's resentment value +1000!]
He spat out the mud in his mouth, his eyes wild as he argued!
"Evidence? Show me the evidence? You have no right to detain and kill citizens of Fanguo. You should send me back!"
"My friends and I were just lost, accidentally crossed the border, and you brutally murdered them?"
"If you don't believe me, I'll expose this! Your cruel behavior deserves a proper trial!"
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Nan's eyes. He picked up the Blood-Drinking Halberd and walked toward Pei Xi!
Pei Xi's heart tightened: !!!
Just then, from the two corpses beside him, a large number of blood-red vines grew out!
They lashed out like thorny whips at the surrounding soldiers!
And the Platinum Eight who had lost an arm and had his head smashed flat actually stood up!
The roots of blood vines pierced through his skin from his legs into the ground, crazily absorbing nutrients!
His flattened head restored to its original shape, and the severed arm grew back again!
He charged straight at Yang Cheng, who was nearest, clearly intending to take a hostage!
Even the blood vines growing around went mad, lashing out at the Dragon Abyss troops, creating chaos!
Jiang Nan was stunned. His head was smashed flat, and he still lived? What kind of abnormal recovery ability was this?
How could there be blood vines inside these people's bodies?
Yang Cheng's pretty face turned pale: "They're vine people, be careful!"
Just as the Platinum Eight reached Yang Cheng, about to succeed,
Zhang San's pistol pressed directly against the brother's forehead, his eyes half-open.

"Are you ignoring me? If you're dead, just lie on the ground and stay dead!"
Platinum Eight: ???
When did this guy appear?
"Bang!"
With a gunshot, the Platinum Eight's head had a hole blown through it!
The rifle spewed flames, spirit-binding bullets flew out, turning the three vine people into powder!
But Pei Xi, taking advantage of the moment when everyone was distracted, had countless blood vines burst out from his arms!
With a "boom," they plunged into the ground, and reappeared a kilometer away in the Misty Swamp blood vine forest!
A dozen blood vines drilled out from under his skin, coiling around him, disgusting beyond belief!
The surrounding Misty Swamp blood vines seemed to obey his command, gathering around to shield him!
"Hehehe~ Didn't expect that, did you? Catch me? You're still too green!"
"Just wait for me, all of you!"
With that, he plunged headfirst into the depths of the vine forest without looking back!
Jiang Nan chuckled, turned around to face the Dragon Abyss troops, and spread his arms!
"Fire at me!"
Mu Wan's mind went blank: "What?"
Fire at you? Are you serious? Not going after the curly-haired guy?
Liu Mang snickered: "Just shoot, it's fine!"
Mu Wan naturally obeyed the command. A hundred gun muzzles aimed at Jiang Nan, and a magazine of armor-piercing bullets was fired!
Gunfire spat, the sound of shots dense and rapid!
Pei Xi, frantically running away, heard the gunfire and sneered.
"Shooting? A bunch of idiots. So far away? How could they possibly hit..."
Before he could finish, Pei Xi felt his vision blur, and he had already been displaced right in front of the main force!
Waiting for him was the concentrated fire of a hundred gun muzzles!
Pei Xi: ???
"Rat-tat-tat-tat..."
Before he could react, his body had already been riddled with holes by armor-piercing bullets!
He weakly knelt on the ground, coughing up blood!
How did he come back? Did he run for nothing?
Jiang Nan teleported back to his side and kicked him to the ground!
"I gave you a chance to run, and you only made it forty-plus thousand meters? Garbage!"
[From Pei Xi's resentment value +1000!]
Mu Wan and the others were dumbfounded. Was this also Nan Shen's spiritual art?
Too dirty, right?
Blood vines grew out of Pei Xi's body, plunged into the earth, crazily absorbing nutrients, converting them into life force to repair his ruined body!
Jiang Nan pulled out a pistol, aimed at Pei Xi's stomach, and fired!
A spirit-binding dumdum bullet entered his abdomen, expanding and remaining inside.
Pei Xi and his blood vines were bound, and he finally calmed down!
Jiang Nan grabbed him by the hair and yanked him up!
He pulled out a photo of Shanmao and held it up to Pei Xi!
"Have you seen her? She went missing in Fanguo three days ago. You'd better tell the truth!"
Pei Xi, covered in blood, his eyes wild, laughed: "Hahaha, missing? You're looking for her?"
"Any Dragon Abyss Dark Night caught in our Fanguo territory is sent to be fertilizer, feeding the mother vine!"
"Don't bother looking. She's probably been sucked dry by the blood vines. Hmph, ptooey!"
He spat a wad of phlegm toward the photo of Shanmao. Jiang Nan waved his hand and blocked it with a spatial barrier!
Then he punched Pei Xi hard in the face, knocking him to the ground!
Pei Xi's eyes were manic: "Kill me! Go ahead, kill me, damn it!"
"That woman is definitely dead. Her body is probably rotting already. You'll never find her!"
Jiang Nan's fists clenched, emitting a cracking sound. His eyes were bloodshot!
He pressed down on Pei Xi, punching him in the head over and over!
Blood mixed with mud splattered all over Jiang Nan. The ground trembled with each blow!
Mu Wan urgently said: "Nan Shen! Stop hitting! We need him alive for questioning!"
"He's provoking you, trying to make you kill him. You need to stay calm!"
But Jiang Nan couldn't hear anything. He kept swinging his fists, the bone-cracking sounds making everyone's scalp tingle.
Screams echoed far into the distance!
Liu Mang shuddered violently. Now he understood why Zi Yuan was afraid of Jiang Nan losing control!
This version of Nan Shen was too terrifying!
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Pei Xi was beaten to death by Jiang Nan's fists!
Then Jiang Nan punched into Pei Xi's abdomen and pulled out the spirit-binding bullet!
"Mira!"
Little Mira waved her hand, and a pillar of restoration light descended!
Pei Xi's injuries rapidly healed, and he was brought back to life by Mira!
But before he could get up, Jiang Nan fired another bullet into his abdomen, binding him again!
Looking at Jiang Nan's bloodstained fists, Pei Xi was terrified, collapsed on the ground, backing away unsteadily!
The feeling of being beaten to death alive was too horrifying!
Jiang Nan squinted: "You want to die? I can kill you countless times, but you can't die yet!"
"From the moment you fell into my hands, your life and death are no longer up to you. They're mine to decide!"
"Wait for death in despair, you bastard! Take him away!"
Pei Xi was filled with despair, almost crying!
"No! Kill me! Kill me now!"
[From Pei Xi...]
But Mu Wan stuffed a rock into his mouth and escorted him in the group!
Looking at Jiang Nan, Mu Wan felt a bit uneasy. This Jiang Nan was completely different from the mischievous, carefree one in her memory!
He had become cold and cruel, like a wounded hungry wolf!
At least he still had his wits!
The group continued toward Outpost 097!
But Jiang Nan turned to look at Yang Cheng!
"Little Cheng, what did you mean by 'vine people' just now? Do you know about the blood-red vines inside their bodies?"
Yang Cheng quickly said: "They're warriors carefully cultivated by the Fanguo Brahman Society!"
"They somehow parasitize Misty Swamp blood vines inside their bodies, living in symbiosis with the host!"
"The blood vine usually feeds on the host's blood, and the host can freely command the blood vine to attack and defend, even using the blood vine's spiritual abilities!"
Xiao Jiuwo was stunned: "Doesn't that make them like spiritual pets?"
Yang Cheng nodded: "Pretty much, but even more troublesome than spiritual pets!"
"Since it's parasitic in the body, the vine person can use the blood vine to recover from injuries. As long as the vine is stuck in the ground, it can absorb nutrients!"
"If it entangles someone, it can also drain blood. Combined with the host's original abilities, its combat power is terrifying!"
Jiang Nan frowned: "Having blood vines parasitizing your body? Shouldn't they be called 'vine people' but rather 'plant people'?"
Yang Cheng's face turned away, flushing red!
(⑉ಡжಡ)
She wanted to laugh but didn't dare!
What the heck kind of "plant people" was that? That's not how you interpret it!
But on second thought, it didn't seem wrong!
"This time we got mutated blood vine seeds. That's a big haul!"
"Once we get to the Outpost 097 lab, I'll have to study them thoroughly!"
Jiang Nan was also worried: "Fanguo's 'plant people' appearing behind the outpost?"
"This isn't right. Let's hurry over and see what's happening there!"
They pushed through the blood vine forest, and the support force finally arrived in front of Outpost 097!
They saw tall concrete walls covered with thick vines!
The right wall even showed signs of collapse, later repaired with earth-type abilities!
And in front of the outpost, Jiang Nan detected many fluctuations in spiritual power!
There were also intense arguing sounds!
He narrowed his eyes: "Let's hurry over!"
