Chapter 296: Underground Monster

The mutated giant panda blocked with its bear paw, taking two steps back, while Xia Mo was thrown out hundreds of meters.

The transformed tail beast, of course, couldn’t be limited to just this class of power. However, her combat power was still restricted by Xia Mo’s own limits, so her strength was limited.

At this moment, several pumpkin bombs exploded on the mutated giant panda, causing its fur to be slightly messy, but other than that, it had little effect.

This mutated giant panda was indeed formidable, with a huge body, immense strength, and tough skin. Its talent could be considered exceptional.

If there was any weakness to this mutated giant panda, it might be its lack of speed, which was also an opportunity for Ye Xuan.

He looked at the mutated giant panda and said, “Let’s all attack together. As long as we can ensure that this mutated giant panda is immobilized for five seconds, leave the rest to me!”

As Ye Xuan’s voice fell, everyone attacked once again.

Chen Li, who had been shattered by the rock giant, immediately absorbed the surrounding rocks and soil, regenerating and charging towards the giant panda.

Xia Mo, in the form of the white rabbit, also charged towards the mutated giant panda, engaging in a fierce battle of claws and paws.

Long Hanjie directly entwined around the awakened giant panda’s legs like a rope, restricting its movements.

As for Su Mengli, Qin Kai, and Zhou Yun, they launched long-range attacks, aiming various strikes at the awakened giant panda’s head.

Faced with numerous attacks, the awakened giant panda struggled to defend itself and ended up sitting on the ground.

However, with its tough skin and resilience, the attacks barely harmed it. It just needed to endure for a few minutes to gain the upper hand.

As the mutated giant panda sat down, Ye Xuan’s Luxian Sword appeared in his hand.

He infused the power of electromagnetic manipulation into himself, turning his body into a speeding arrow aimed at the mutated giant panda’s head.

In an instant, the mutated giant panda felt a strong threat, but being entangled by the rabbit, rock giant, and ancestral dragon, it couldn’t dodge.

The mutated giant panda let out an angry roar, releasing a strong golden light that sent Long Hanjie, Xia Mo, and Chen Li flying.

Unfortunately, Ye Xuan’s Luxian Sword was not affected by this force.

Seeing this, the mutated giant panda raised its arms to block the Luxian Sword.

The Luxian Sword pierced through the mutated giant panda’s arm like cutting through tofu.

The mutated giant panda let out a howl of pain, then suddenly lowered its head, biting down on its own arm.

In an instant, the mutated giant panda tore off its own arm, splattering blood everywhere.

With a pained howl, the mutated giant panda leaped up and fled into the distance.

Ye Xuan was shocked to see the mutated giant panda survive under the Luxian Sword.

While its combat power might not match the Kunpeng King, its defense was undoubtedly stronger.

On the other hand, Ye Xuan’s strike had destroyed the consciousness of the Kunpeng King by targeting its head.

This time, Ye Xuan struck the mutated giant panda’s arm, but it was prepared. In the moment the Luxian Sword pierced it, it severed its own limb to survive.

Although it didn’t die immediately, a part of the Luxian Sword’s energy had invaded its body. Losing an arm, the giant panda’s chances of survival were slim even if it escaped.

The biggest difference between it and the Kunpeng King was that the Kunpeng King died on the spot, while it had the strength to flee.

Ye Xuan didn’t pursue the awakened giant panda. Their main goal today was to rescue people, and that took precedence over everything else.

Ye Xuan then said, “Long Hanjie, return to your original form and quickly send the miners and rescue team members away.”

Long Hanjie transformed from the ancestral dragon back into a large bird form. White Shaojie’s abilities were not useful at the moment, so he helped the miners and rescue team members onto Long Hanjie’s back for evacuation.

However, at that moment, the earth suddenly cracked, and hundreds of thick green vines burst out of the ground, entwining around Long Hanjie’s body.

These vines were numerous, lightning-fast, and quickly immobilized Long Hanjie and the others, making them unable to move.

Subsequently, the vines dragged Long Hanjie and the others underground, swiftly disappearing without a trace in less than five seconds.

Ye Xuan’s face turned grave as he asked, “What’s going on? Xia Mo, where did they go?”

Xia Mo, now back in the form of Kaguya Otsutsuki, stared at the ground and said, “They were taken deep underground. No, there’s a spirit stone mine below. My perspective ability can see through ordinary matter, but not spirit stones. If I’m guessing correctly, the ones who took Long Hanjie and the others should have been living beneath the spirit stone mine!”

Spirit stone mines are very precious and are usually hard to find. Most of the time, spirit stone mines have owners.

This time, during the coal mining, a spirit stone mine was accidentally discovered. Due to the different properties of spirit stone mines and coal mines, it led to a collapse.

Beneath the spirit stone mine, there was an unknown awakened monster lurking.

This unknown awakened monster, possessing a spirit stone mine underground, would have significantly enhanced strength due to the power of the spirit stone. It suddenly attacked, dragging Long Hanjie underground without any resistance!

Ye Xuan’s expression turned serious as he said, “Xia Mo, can you fly in rabbit form? Take the miners and rescue team we saved and leave first. Also, bring Bai Shaojie with you. We might not have time to worry about him later. The rest of us will explore this underground world together.”

Xia Mo’s expression changed as she said, “Why should I be the one to take people away? I want to join the battle too.”

Seeing this, Ye Xuan said, “The overall situation is more important. What’s the point of you wanting to fight? Do you want so many ordinary people to fight alongside you? If something goes wrong, who will take responsibility?”

At this moment, Xia Mo was not cosplaying as the fierce Magic Queen Morgana but just a naive and sweet Kaguya Otsutsuki. After two seconds of silence, Xia Mo transformed into a large rabbit form.

Ye Xuan immediately used electromagnetic control to lift the miners and rescue team members onto Xia Mo’s back.

Subsequently, the white rabbit form of Xia Mo flew into the sky, preparing to take the rescued people and Bai Shaojie away.

However, at that moment, several vines shot up into the sky, thick and fast, aiming towards Xia Mo’s rabbit form.

Ye Xuan, Su Mengli, and others immediately took action. Su Mengli controlled her nano battle armor, launching missiles with red lotus flames at the vines.

With the missiles combined with the red lotus flames, several green vines were burned and severed.

Ye Xuan also acted, using the power of electromagnetic manipulation to entangle the vines together, preventing them from threatening Xia Mo.

Xia Mo increased her speed, taking the ordinary people away from the danger.

Just as Xia Mo had left for less than ten seconds, the ground around them cracked, and rocks flew everywhere.

One thick vine after another emerged from the ground, covering an area of several kilometers, extending towards the sky.

Eventually, the vines intertwined with each other, forming a huge vine cage that sealed off the surroundings, plunging everything into darkness.
