Chapter 467: Do It
“Do it!” Zhan Lian turns and waves at Yun Tao.
Yun Tao, clad in a biochemical protective suit, nods. Together with Liang Ziyu and Axe, he charges toward the massive trunk.
As it turns out, once a Strength-Type ability user becomes strong enough, they’re just as powerful as an elemental ability user.
The three of them press their hands to the tree trunk and begin pushing with all their strength—yes, pushing the entire tree!
More vines surge toward them.
Zhan Lian and Zhang Boxun operate several blenders, shredding the vines into green pulp. Luo Feifan follows up by setting everything ablaze, burning anything that displeases him.
Behind them, An Ran stabilizes the rear.
Her role is crucial—vines spread wildly underground. If they’re not careful, the team attacking from the front might get ambushed from behind.
But as long as An Ran is there, that won’t happen. The entire rear is her domain, and the mutant plants there are under her control.
Up front, flames rage. Amid the inferno, Yun Tao and the others, fully suited up, work together to push the tree trunk—wide as three full lanes—to one side.
“There must be a bunch of flower balls here. Don’t panic—we’ll pull them out one by one,” Yun Tao shouts.
As parts of the massive tree are toppled and vines dragged away, their tangled numbers begin to shrink.
Liang Ziyu steadies himself on Axe’s back, flips over, and joins Yun Tao in lifting a large section of earth—several square meters wide. Beneath it lies thick soil, entangled with roots.
The two of them dig out a flower ball as big as a yoga ball.
Yun Tao punches it open, reaches inside, and retrieves a green crystal core. With that, one-third of the burning tree withers and dies.
From then on, there are no more surprises.
Yun Tao and the others continue tearing up the earth, uprooting flower balls and retrieving crystal cores. Their speed at clearing vines far surpasses Zhan Lian and Luo Feifan’s.
Zhan Lian and Luo Feifan are devastating on the surface, but unless the flower balls are destroyed, the vines quickly grow back. Only by extracting the crystal cores from within the flower balls can the vines be completely eliminated.
Soon, the massive, knotted tangle of mutated vines is cleared away.
In the cold air, the sun hides behind clouds. Zhan Lian and the others drive the truck and car out of the bridal shop and officially set out for the Star District.
Wang Wei is still breathing, barely. Liang Ziyu has no choice but to place him in the truck’s compartment. As soon as he does, Xu Li’er jumps in from who knows where and curls up far from Wang Wei.
“Huh? You again?”
Liang Ziyu stares at the trembling Xu Li’er. Only now does he remember she has always been at the bridal shop—he completely forgot about her.
Everyone else is busy, and Liang Ziyu doesn’t have time to bother with her. He gives her a glare and snaps, “Stay put.”
Then he locks the truck door and goes off to help Yun Tao pull out more “radishes.”
Everyone presses forward. The vehicle starts and stops intermittently, all while they kill vines and scavenge supplies from street shops along the way.
After about two days, they arrive at the edge of the Star District.
