Chapter 297 Deep Underground

At this moment, Ye Xuan and the others stood back to back, standing together.

Su Mengli’s mind moved, and a red lotus appeared above her head, emitting a faint red light, illuminating the surroundings.

Qin Heng was a bit nervous at the moment, saying, “What exactly is this thing?”

When the vines were chasing Xia Mo just now, Qin Heng had tried to use his pig slaughtering knife to chop these vines.

Unfortunately, his pig slaughtering knife, mainly used to restrain animal-type mutant beasts, had little killing power against these vines and had no effect.

Upon hearing Qin Heng’s words, Ye Xuan said, “This should be some kind of mutated plant. Mengli, your fire has quite a destructive power against it. You should try first to see if you can break through this barrier.”

Su Mengli nodded, her body floating up, and then all the long-range weapons on her MK50 nano battle armor were activated.

Next, these weapons, accompanied by the power of the red lotus fire, fiercely shot out in all directions.

For a moment, the surroundings turned red, the temperature of the air rose significantly, the terrifying firepower of the MK50 nano battle armor, combined with Su Mengli’s red lotus fire, had a terrifying killing power.

The enclosed space formed by countless vines, under the burning of the red lotus fire, emitted a strange and miserable cry.

Afterwards, these vines were burned and broken by the red lotus fire, and then retracted into the soil, and the surroundings returned to normal.

The few people around were shocked as they looked at Su Mengli. Truly worthy of the SSS-class Flame Red Lotus, it was too fierce, its destructive power was simply invincible!

The blockade plan of the underground vines failed. Ye Xuan said, “Long Hanjie and a few miners have been taken away. With Long Hanjie’s strength, he should be able to hold on for a while. I have decided to go down and rescue him. This mission is not mandatory, those who want to leave can leave first.”

However, no one spoke up. Everyone was hot-blooded youths, how could they possibly retreat halfway?

Moreover, although these vine monsters had taken Long Hanjie by surprise, it was unexpected, plus Long Hanjie had been beaten up by the mutated giant panda before.

When Su Mengli took action just now and burned those vine monsters to the point of wailing, the blockade set up was removed obediently.

Therefore, these vine monsters were not invincible. Everyone going to rescue people still had a good chance, it wasn’t a suicide mission, so how could they retreat at this time?

Seeing no one backing down, Ye Xuan said, “Chen Li, your ability is to control the earth. You should have sensed the route the vines retracted just now. You will lead the way next.”

Chen Li said directly, “No problem, leave it to me!”

After speaking, Chen Li directly used his ability. He opened his arms and made a splitting motion.

Then, the ground in front of Chen Li rumbled and shook, the earth split open, revealing a dark and deep passage.

Chen Li took the lead, walking at the front. Under his ability, the surrounding soil seemed to have a life of its own, avoiding where he passed, and everyone gradually delved deeper into the underground world.

Su Mengli released the red lotus fire outside, serving as both illumination and alert, while Ye Xuan also remained vigilant.

The vine monsters from before were very treacherous, suddenly attacking and capturing Long Hanjie. At the moment, everyone was heading towards the lair of those vine monsters, naturally they had to be on high alert.

In this environment, Qin Kai’s magic glider was of no use. He wore magic armor, holding pumpkin bombs and throwing knives, ready to strike at any time.

After advancing several hundred meters underground, the surroundings gradually opened up, as if they had arrived at a mysterious underground palace.

At the same time, faint sounds reached the ears of Ye Xuan and the others, causing everyone to be on high alert.

After a moment, a group of mutant beasts came into view.

These were a type of earthworm-like mutant beast, not very large in size, but due to the mutation, they had grown to tens of meters long, with a body diameter of one to two meters.

These earthworms living in the underground world had smooth pink skin, giving off a more disgusting feeling than snakes due to the lack of scales.

There were many of these earthworms, entwined with each other, wriggling towards Ye Xuan and the others.

Qin Heng was the first to act, controlling two pig slaughtering knives, flying towards these earthworms, and then easily cutting several of them in half from top to bottom.

However, before Qin Heng could be happy, the earthworms that were cut in half had almost no blood flowing from their wounds.

They had actually become independent individuals, still jumping around.

Qin Kai prepared to use a pumpkin bomb, but Ye Xuan stopped him, saying, “Wait, this is the underground world. Let’s not use the pumpkin bomb for now to avoid causing a collapse.”

Qin Kai could only say, “Okay.”

Unable to use the pumpkin bomb, Qin Kai could only use throwing knives.

However, Qin Heng’s pig slaughtering knives could only split these earthworms in half, unable to kill them, so Qin Kai’s actions were naturally futile.

At this moment, Su Mengli said, “Let me do it.”

Seeing this, Ye Xuan said, “Mengli, let me help you.”

Su Mengli nodded, her mind moved, and a stream of red lotus fire burned towards the group of awakened earthworms.

Ye Xuan used electromagnetic manipulation, causing the earthworms to be affected by gravity, involuntarily moving closer to each other, becoming more dense.

Encountering Su Mengli’s red lotus fire in such a dense formation of awakened earthworms was naturally very satisfying.

When the crimson red red lotus fire touched these earthworms, it was like adding fuel to the fire, and with a bang, the flames surged.

These awakened earthworms, being so fat and greasy, the oiliness on their bodies made the flames of the red lotus fire even more intense.

For a moment, the awakened earthworms let out a piercing cry, struggling to escape the sea of fire, but Ye Xuan exerted all his electromagnetic manipulation power to prevent them from leaving.

The entire underground space was filled with the smell of frying oil.

Chen Li was a man with a good appetite. At this moment, smelling this scent, his stomach inexplicably growled twice.

Two minutes later, the red lotus fire disappeared, and the large group of awakened earthworms had all been burned to ashes.

The surrounding soil had almost been burned into bricks, showing the terrifying power of the red lotus fire.

At this moment, Zhou Yun and the others who had invaded realized that the red lotus fire was truly worthy of being SSS-class, its killing power was something they couldn’t catch up with even if they tried their best.
