The little black tree wasn't some stupid creature that would just stand there and let itself be attacked. It immediately gathered the black mist on one branch, and neither side would give way. The sizzling collisions and the poisonous gas were visible to the naked eye.
Shen Muyu was not idle either, keeping an eye on his surroundings while gathering his attack.
The black sapling's abilities can only be fully utilized in the soil, but there is no suitable environment for it right now. If it keeps releasing its energy without replenishing it, its energy will eventually run out. Therefore, Shen Muyu must finish this battle quickly.
That special liquid wasn't inexhaustible for the transparent slime either, and its body was slowly shrinking.
Soon, Shen Muyu's attack came again, and the black sapling tacitly made room for her, and the mental arrow accurately hit the transparent slime.
The black tree intercepted most of the scattered debris, and Shen Muyu absorbed the rest. She was hesitant to let the fragments come into contact with the vehicle, since it was equipped with reactive armor.
One or two pieces are fine, but if a dozen or so are triggered at the same time, the risk of such a small space collapsing is too great, so Shen Muyu would rather suffer the pain himself.
Sigh, something that was originally meant to protect oneself now requires one to protect it. But despite the complaints, it's impossible to actually get Shen Muyu to take it off, since this thing definitely has more benefits than benefits.
Moreover, this thing is easy to install and easy to replace, but it's quite difficult to disassemble because it requires unbinding each piece individually, which is very time-consuming.
Taking advantage of this explosion, the black sapling also completely destroyed several small fragments. After the transparent slime reassembled, its body was only the size of a fist.
Being brainless doesn't mean being unaware of danger; the transparent slime instantly flew out of the car.
The smaller the body, the shorter the time required to gather. Shen Muyu's attack was not as well gathered as the time before last, so he was not in a hurry to launch it. But who knew that the little guy would disappear in the next second.
"Why does this one seem a tiny bit smarter than the previous two? Could it be that increasing size also boosts intelligence?" Shen Muyu continued to focus his mental energy, figuring he could use it again next time he came out.
"Little A, let's go to the room on the left." Without putting the little black tree back, Shen Muyu planned to explore both rooms first, as the little black tree could still hold out for a while.
The room on the left was more in line with Shen Muyu's understanding of a laboratory, with many tables and experimental equipment arranged in a neat and orderly manner.
Shen Muyu also saw a large insulated box, but for some reason the box was open, and many test tubes were overturned on the ground. This time the liquid was no longer dark brown, but a bright green.
"Zhan Yi, collect!" Although Shen Muyu didn't know how to use it, he definitely had to take what was free! What if it came in handy later or he could exchange it for something else?
The room emptied in an instant, and Shen Muyu was overjoyed. It was rare to find such a reliable backpack; Shen Muyu had thought it wouldn't be able to pack anything.
Without stopping, Zhan Yi opened the door to the room on the right, but Shen Muyu was dumbfounded the next second.
"Russian nesting dolls?" Shen Muyu's lips twitched as he looked at the transparent slimes of different sizes but arranged in order.
The smallest one should be the one that just ran away. Shen Muyu estimated that the largest one was about 180cm in length, width and height. Looking at the size of the door, it probably couldn't even get out of the door normally.
"Little A, run back!" Shen Muyu shouted as she looked at the five guys standing neatly in front of her. Anyway, there was no one inside, so her mission should be over.
Xiao A drove back the way he came, but the gap between the two rooms in front and on the right was not very big, and he encountered a problem of difficulty turning.
A screeching sound filled the space.
...
"There's a noise outside! It sounds like a car!" The screeching sound was so loud that it went straight into the innermost room, and the young man immediately stood up and said excitedly.
"Quick, listen carefully!" The middle-aged woman heard it too and immediately pressed her ear to the wall next to her.
"There really is a sound! The base has sent people to pick us up!" The middle-aged man with glasses paused for a moment and then shouted loudly.
"Why do I feel like the sound is getting farther away?" the young woman said hesitantly.
"Could it be that they didn't discover our cave? Back then, for security reasons, they didn't set up a sensor area at the entrance; they used a traditional key instead!" the middle-aged woman said, her eyes wide.
"Quickly use the radio to shout, don't let them leave!" the old man said hastily, remembering the universal radio.
"Yes, yes, the radio!" The young man hurriedly ran to his original spot, where there was a very simple radio device by the wall.
Every room in this base is equipped with one, mainly to prevent the captured creatures from escaping. I never expected it to be used now.
Pressing the button, the young man shouted at the cube in front of him, "There are still people here! Don't leave! Basement level four! There are still people at the very back of basement level four! Don't leave!"
Because of his nervousness and anxiety, his voice was not very coherent, but Shen Muyu, who was about to rush into the elevator, heard it.
