Chapter 609 - Those vines arent enough to trouble my master (1/2)

But it was also probably due to Zhou Qi’s self-sacrifice that this could be pulled off. If he had not held on for so long and made so many of the vines wither, the creeper vine would not have gotten so furious it concentrated its attack on them. In turn, Ren Xiaosu would not have successfully found their position.

The group was fleeing without knowing where they were heading. There were no other survivors that could be seen in the stronghold anymore. This stronghold had been completely occupied by the plant now.

Before this, they could never have expected the plants in this era would be so terrifying.

While everyone was escaping, the feelers of the creeper vine were still chasing them. It did not attack, but neither did it give up on chasing after them.

“What about Ren Xiaosu?” Luo Lan shouted while panting breathlessly.

Zhou Yingxue turned around and glanced behind her. Ren Xiaosu was in his armor and withstanding the creeper vine’s attacks as he became its only target in this entire stronghold.

The creeper vine seemed like it wanted to unleash all its anger on him as countless vines swept over to his position.

The vines enclosed Ren Xiaosu like a ball of wool, while the spikes on the feelers tried to cut through the armor!

There was no movement within the vines anymore, and it appeared that Ren Xiaosu was also helpless against so many vines.

Luo Lan shouted, “Let’s head back and save him! We can’t leave him here alone!”

However, Zhou Yingxue snapped, “Take care of yourself first! Those vines aren’t enough to trouble my master!”

Luo Lan nearly burst into tears at this insult. How did Ren Xiaosu gain a maid superhuman in this short period that Luo Lan had not seen him? Why did all the supernatural beings like congregating around Ren Xiaosu so much?!

As though to confirm Zhou Yingxue’s words, when all of those vines finally enclosed Ren Xiaosu, Luo Lan saw a black saber piercing through the vines from inside. Following, the extremely tough-looking vines were cut apart like they were dry twigs!

The metallic beast leaped out from within, and Luo Lan heard Ren Xiaosu say, “Why’re y’all still standing there? Hurry up and flee!”

Luo Lan thought, ‘Alright, this guy really doesn’t need anyone to save him.’

Everyone started fleeing again while Ren Xiaosu quickly caught up to them as the vines did not slow him down at all.

When Ren Xiaosu came to Li Ran’s side, he deactivated the armor and returned the nanomachines into his bloodstream. Once those cute nanomachines were back inside his body, they immediately retracted their robotic arms and curled up into tiny balls to recharge while waiting for their master to summon them again.

But just as the nanomachines fully returned to his body, a vine stabbed for Ren Xiaosu’s left arm.

In an instant, Ren Xiaosu mobilized the nanomachines once again to form a shield on the surface of his arm to block the attack. The price of blocking the attack was a small piece of the defensive armor constructed from the nanomachines chipping off and falling to the ground.

After all, Ren Xiaosu had activated those nanomachines in a rush. He didn’t feel like it would be a big problem if he lost some. Luo Lan had mentioned the Qing Consortium had fully mastered the nanomachine technology. Since the nanomachine researchers were now in their employment, if Ren Xiaosu wanted to replenish his nanomachines, he could just approach the Qing Consortium anytime.

Or maybe based on his relationship with the Qing Consortium, it wouldn’t even be unreasonable to say they might send him some replacement nanomachines.

But this was no time to be pondering about that. Ren Xiaosu put on his glove again and held Li Ran’s hand. Zhou Yingxue secretly smirked when she saw this. Even while escaping, she could still think about how her master was equally fair in his treatment towards others. But it was just that at a critical moment like this, why would anyone still think about putting on a glove again?

When Ren Xiaosu grabbed Li Ran’s hand, Li Ran could feel her sense of happiness soaring. However, she immediately realized the hand she was holding felt a little fuzzy.

The creeper vine immediately stopped attacking Ren Xiaosu again. However, Ren Xiaosu’s direct confrontation with it this time was simply too intense. No matter how low its intelligence was, it could still detect that something was not right.
