Both of them were a bit dazed. Liu You'er was suffering from a headache due to part of her brain being consumed by a virus.
Xuan Mo was dazed because she had just been forcefully kissed by the ground.
However, both reacted quickly and stood up, only to find that the ground was soft and covered with brown-red Tentacles, which recoiled painfully when stepped on. They resembled Octopus Tentacles, and the color gave off an indescribable feeling of disgust.
Moreover, the area that Xuan Mo had just been "touched" was still smeared with some translucent black-purple slime.
"Over there!"
The two exclaimed in unison, exchanged a glance, and hurriedly ran to the edge of the cliff. Two meters above the ground, there was a protruding rock. Although it wasn't very large, it was barely enough for both of them to stand on together.
Before long, the liquid spreading from the Tentacles increased significantly, covering the ground and slowly rising.
When the liquid reached half a meter high, many remains were completely submerged in it. The flesh on top was visibly peeling off and melting away until it disappeared.
Suddenly, a huge Third Evolution Rabbit came rushing out from somewhere. It was covered in wounds from bites, with a piece of flesh dangling from its hind leg, looking painful. Following it was a Mutated Rabbit, which had patches of fur missing all over its body, its eyes bloodshot, and fresh red blood smeared around its mouth—clearly not its own.
The evolved rabbit hesitated for a moment at the edge of the liquid and glanced back; the Mutated Rabbit was only five meters away.
"Gulp."
It chose to jump into the liquid, followed closely by the Mutated Rabbit.
"Oh come on, if you jump in, I’ll jump too. How romantic."
"…Shut up."
The two were very close, almost pressed together. At this moment, when Xuan Mo spoke, it stirred things up, causing them to draw even closer. Their breaths mingled, creating a strange yet pleasant scent. Coupled with her recollection of earlier events, she felt quite annoyed.
Most importantly, where had the life-and-death chase romance gone? It was perverse.
Xuan Mo's heart raced. Although she knew the situation was dangerous, she couldn't control herself! She tried to shift her focus by looking at the scene before her, but ended up being teased instead. How unfair...
"Eh?"
Liu You'er voiced her confusion.
"What’s wrong?"
He snapped back to reality at the sound and looked over at the two rabbits, only to find that they were not corroded at all; instead, they were swimming unharmed in the liquid.
Yet the flesh on the remains continued to fall off and melt away. Did this liquid only affect dead matter?
The two frowned as they stared at the liquid that had already reached a height of one meter, slightly lost in thought.
"How about you put your hand in and try?"
Xuan Mo's expression stiffened as she smiled wickedly, "I just saved you, and now you're selling me out? That's a bit ungrateful~"
Liu You'er nodded and said, "Then I'll give it a try."
With that, she actually reached her hand down.
"Wow! Are you crazy!"
Xuan Mo pulled back the person whose hand was less than five centimeters from the surface of the liquid, his face filled with terror as if it were his own hand.
"Shh."
Liu You'er placed a finger to her lips, signaling him to be quiet, then pointed in the direction of the rabbits.
Xuan Mo looked over and found that the two rabbits had vanished. His expression darkened as he turned back to see Liu You'er staring down, seemingly focused on something. The good news was that the Tentacles had retracted into the ground, and all the liquid had been absorbed back.
After a while, a satisfying swallowing sound came from the ground.
Had it eaten so many corpses that the ground had become sentient?
Although Xuan Mo had many questions, he held them back and quietly watched Liu You'er.
After some time, when the ground had completely calmed down and returned to its previous state, she whispered, "The ground is dead, but the grass is alive."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Mo furrowed his brows tightly. Although he understood Liu You'er's meaning, he simply could not accept that these disgusting Tentacles were actually grass.
"The terrifying part is that they have evolved abilities and intelligence. Those two rabbits we saw earlier were likely illusions because even though they moved in the liquid, there were no ripples on the surface, indicating their intelligence is still limited."
"But if someone were to unknowingly test it with a living creature or themselves, then they would have a feast."
Liu You'er's gaze darkened as she nodded. Suddenly, she recalled how he had jumped down to save her earlier. It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched, but was this truly a trap or genuine concern? That was worth investigating.
Moreover, if he hadn't saved her, she wouldn't have died either because she could slip into space and reappear when she was two or three meters off the ground.
"I just heard something go down. Did you put something there?"
Although it was phrased as a question, the certainty in the tone made it clear it was a statement. Liu You'er knew she couldn't hide it and nodded.
"You managed to fool this stupid grass... You put in two living creatures that weigh about the same as us?!"
Correct answer~
Liu You'er had placed two fat cows inside, but they disappeared as soon as they went in, leaving only bones, which she then retrieved into her space, so Xuan Mo naturally didn't notice anything.
"No, I just put in two bugs. It seems this patch of grass is even dumber than you thought."
Xuan Mo felt a headache coming on, thinking to himself, who do you think you're fooling? Anyone who can create illusions has some intelligence; trading ants for camels is not something anyone with even a bit of sense would do!
He had already guessed that Liu You'er had Dual Abilities, but he felt that if he spoke up, he might end up being silenced. Just because he couldn't bring himself to kill her didn't mean she wouldn't be willing to kill him! It was quite a bitter thought...
However, Liu You'er was indeed considering whether to take the opportunity to kill him. After all, such chances were rare. If they really fought, while the opponent couldn't kill her, she also couldn't kill him. If W found out about this, it would lead to even more trouble—Liu Yue...
She clenched her fist. Forget it; she still needed to use him to find W's base. The bomb in Liu Yue's mind had to be dug out!
"Hey, you aren't thinking about how to silence me, are you?"
"How could that be~"
Xuan Mo looked at the slight upward curve of her lips and rolled his eyes, responding with a perfunctory smile, "Uh-huh, I believe you. You haven't smiled at me once in a year; of course, I'll believe anything with that smile."
"Um..."
Liu You'er thought seriously about simply pulling out his tongue; after all, he didn't need it to find his way.
"Gurgle"
The familiar sound echoed again, and both of them were taken aback, turning to look, both stunned.
They saw a soft, drooping tentacle swaying back and forth in front of the two Ant Faces, covered in a dense array of reddish-brown eyes, staring directly at them. A chill ran down their spines, and goosebumps appeared all over.
"Smack"
"Buzz"
With a thought, a bolt of Electric Light combined with a wind blade, instantly shredding the Tentacle into bits that sank back into the ground. However, countless other tentacles emerged from the ground, some covered in eyes, others with ears, and some large tentacles adorned with fleshy appendages.
"Uh..."
The two fell silent, staring at the grotesque sight of the towering tentacles that reached over ten meters high.
Xuan: "What should we do?"
Liu: "Let's fight..."
