While observing the situation in the sky, Shen Muyu searched for Xiang Dong's whereabouts, but Xiang Dong had already burrowed into the ground with the help of the flower-shaped zombie, and Shen Muyu's spiritual power could not reach him, so he did not see him.
However, Shen Muyu spotted several human-faced flowers she had seen before in the distance, guessing that they were spies left by Xiang Dong, so she directly used her mental power to attack them.
This time, no black mist appeared, so Shen Muyu easily shattered the crystal cores of these human-faced flowers. Of course, the root that had previously disturbed her vision was also gone, probably because Xiang Dong had directly severed the connection.
Before long, the dense flock of birds in the sky was burned away. After carefully checking and finding that no one had escaped, Shen Muyu released Zhan Yi and Xiao A down.
Having gone to so much trouble to obtain the crystal core, Shen Muyu certainly couldn't give it up. However, to guard against Xiang Dong bringing over some other strange things, Shen Muyu kept searching for him carefully.
After a long time, he still couldn't find it by looking east, but a dark brown, semi-circular lump appeared in Shen Muyu's field of vision.
This little dumpling was the one that had escaped from the lab before. Of course, Shen Muyu had never seen it before and thought it was some new species.
The dark brown mass surged toward Shen Muyu in a rolling motion, while various messy things inside his body constantly appeared on the surface and were constantly being drawn back in.
Some of the dark green plant roots are quite eye-catching, and they are clearly related to the east.
Xiang Dong, who had been holding his breath underground and whose face was flushed, breathed a sigh of relief after sensing the presence of his precious treasure.
This thing likes to eat random things all the time, and its body size has doubled since it started, which has also caused its speed to decrease sharply. Xiang Dong is worried that this thing won't be able to catch up.
Come to think of it, if it weren't for its liking to eat random things, Xiang Dong probably wouldn't have been able to control it.
The ball of dough was probably tired at the time, and it lay still on the ground in a puddle. Xiang Dong thought it was some kind of unknown liquid leak, so he deliberately walked around it twice.
But who knew that the dumpling would flip over and swallow him whole. The liquid was too viscous to get into his nose and eyes, but it stuck tightly to his face.
The suffocating feeling enveloped him instantly, and in his subconscious struggle, his superpowers were released without reservation. The plant roots first roughly helped him isolate some of the viscous liquid, and then they frantically entangled with the dumpling.
It wasn't until all the energy in the crystal core was exhausted that Xiang Dong managed to barely control a portion of the dark brown clump.
Of course, this was not enough for him to escape; it only gave him a little room to survive. It wasn't until he replenished his powers while releasing them that he slowly extended his plant roots all over the huge creature.
Strangely, he did not find the crystal core inside the dumpling.
Such control was very crude for him, not as reliable as the plant roots and stems directly generated from crystal cores. In fact, if the roots and stems were all squeezed out by the dumpling, his control would be useless.
To prevent such an accident from happening, after leaving the dumpling's body, Xiang Dong made the plant roots keep the dumpling moving non-stop to prevent it from eating more and growing bigger, which would cause him to lose control of the dumpling.
...
"Hey A, give that big guy a few incendiary bombs." Although we don't know the details of this hemispherical ball, it's definitely a good idea to fire one at something related to Xiangdong first.
Of course, Xiang Dong was no fool. He manipulated all the plant roots and stems back into Tuanzi's body. Some of the viscous liquid protective fire could not burn inside, so naturally, the tragedy of those birds would not have happened.
However, he overlooked one thing: this viscous liquid was none other than petroleum! Although it wasn't as effective as gasoline, it was still flammable!
Bang!
The instant the incendiary bomb made contact with the dark brown blob, a pillar of fire appeared on the spot, thick black smoke rose continuously, and a small explosion was heard.
Xiang Dong and Shen Muyu, who were in the distance, were both stunned by the scene. One hadn't expected it to catch fire, and the other hadn't expected it to burn so fiercely.
"Damn it!" Xiang Dong was stunned. He never expected that his backup plan would be so easily defeated.
You know, he had a really good plan back then: first, to use the zombie bird to puncture Shen Muyu's car, and then have the unknown dumpling wrap Shen Muyu up inside and suffocate him.
I never expected this person to perfectly counter his superpower. What the heck?
Perhaps due to the extreme emotional fluctuations, the air in the temporary underground space was already insufficient, and now it was almost completely depleted, causing Xiang Dong's face to turn bright red.
However, he didn't dare to open a gap in it to let air circulate, since Shen Muyu's ability was to squeeze through any opening.
There was nothing he could do but try to calm his breathing. Fortunately, the roots inside the dumpling were still intact. Xiang Dong would never allow himself to just sit there and wait to die!
