Chapter 22

"Pei Ming, try to lure some of the plant beasts away," Tyson ordered Ji Ming loudly. (Pei Ming is Ji Ming's pseudonym.)

Ji Ming responded in a panic: "Okay, I understand..."

Having been protected by Huo Yin and the others for ten years, Ji Ming has rarely participated in a real bloody battle. Although his supernatural power has reached level 9 and has good combat power, it is usually only used for auxiliary attacks. 

It's not that Huo Yin doesn't want Ji Ming to experience and improve, but that his combat quality is not high and his ability to adapt to situations is poor, which often drags his teammates back.

If it weren't for the fact that he has awakened with plant powers, coupled with the full protection of Huo Yin and the others, with his combat power alone, it is estimated that he would have died on the Creation star long ago.

A strong gust of wind came, and before Ji Ming could activate his skills, he was thrown away by a branch.

As a botanist, he has a natural affinity with plants. As long as he calms down, he will not be attacked even if he stands among these plant beasts. Unfortunately, the fear of death made him lose his sense of normalcy and he completely forgot what he should do.

"Trash!" Tyson cursed, raised his hand to grab his(JM) belt, and with a sudden force, he threw him out of the encirclement. Several more people were sent to protect him.

"Captain." The voice of a member of the Zhan Song suddenly rang in Tyson's ears, "I found Huo Yin and his team several thousand meters away."

"What?" Tyson suddenly turned his head and looked towards where Zuo Rong was just now, only to find that he was gone. He couldn't help asking with an ugly expression, "Are you sure it's them? What are they doing?"

The voice sounded again: "They are dealing with a level 12 plant beast."

Tyson's eyes were sinister, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "So, this is a trap?!" To trick them into attracting the attention of the plant herd, while they secretly hunted the elite monster?

"Zuo Rong! Where is that bastard Zuo Rong?" He roared angrily.

"There, there he is." A member of the Zhan Song team pointed out.

Tyson looked in the direction he pointed and saw a figure lying flat on the ground under a big tree not far away, with a peaceful expression and no breath.

Tyson was so angry: MMP, he escaped!

Seeing Zuo Rong's peaceful death, Tyson concluded that he betrayed them.

Zuo Rong: I’m not, I didn’t, I’m wronged!

"What about the people Zuo Rong brought over?" Tyson asked again.

Yuan Chu used Zuo Rong's identity to deceive several teammates from the Ancient Tomb. 

Now that Zuo Rong has escaped, Tyson can only vent his anger on these cannon fodder. Poor these desperadoes, they were tricked to death by the combined efforts of their bosses, Huaguoshu and Zhan Song.

"Lead the plant beasts over there." Tyson was not willing to be plotted, and he would make Huo Yin and the others pay the price no matter what.

"They are coming." Tully's cold voice came from the shadow of the trees.

Feng Chenxiu looked from a distance, clicked his tongue a few times, and then asked: "Boss, can we get rid of this elite monster before they arrive?"

"If there is no accident." Huo Yin took out a bottle from his backpack.

"Boss, what is that?" Feng Chenxiu asked curiously.

"High-purity liquor."

Everyone: ???

Huo Yin unscrewed the bottle cap, and a rich aroma of wine immediately floated in the air.

"Ah, ~" Feng Chenxiu took a deep breath with a rippling expression.

"Captain, do you want to use this bottle of wine to deal with that elite monster?" Su Mo's telepathy received some information.

Huo Yin nodded: "The Sun Moon Wheel likes to drink. Once drunk, it will not enter the attack state. We can obtain its source core intact."

"Really?" Feng Chenxiu showed an incredulous expression. Since there is such a simple method, why did they discuss it so seriously before?!

"Probably. Let's try it and we'll know." Huo Yin was also doing this for the first time.

He dodged an attacking branch and came to a downwind outlet a hundred meters away from the Sun Mon Wheel. He placed the open wine bottle on the ground and then returned to his companions.

Everyone hid in the dark and stared at the movements of the Sun Moon wheel.

Two or three minutes later, the Sun Moon Wheel moved, its stamens squirmed a few times, and then opened its petals, and like a snake, it dragged the long stems and slid down from the tree, winding towards the location of the wine bottle.

Everyone waited with bated breath and didn't make a sound.

The Sun Moon wheel swam around the wine bottle and probed around again to make sure that there was no danger, it then lowered its receptacle, wrapped the wine bottle with the stamen, and began to suck up.

Feng Chenxiu: This flower is amazing. Drinking wine is the same as drinking boiled water. 

Su Mo: Looking at this generous appearance, is one bottle not enough?

Huo Yin's face says everything is under control, but there is some uncertainty in his heart.

Huo Yin: Did he underestimate its alcohol tolerance?

Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary. After drinking a bottle of high-purity wine, the petals of the Sun Moon wheel all turned white and fell crookedly to the ground, as if they were dead.

Everyone waited patiently for a moment to make sure it stopped moving, and then cautiously approached.

Huo Yin pulled out a telescopic metal rod and tentatively fiddled with the Sun Moon wheel. Then he poked into its stamen, stirred it gently for a while, and pinched out a piece of source core.

Feng Chenxiu stared, "Is this all???"

Huo Yin finally showed a relaxed look on his face: "Yeah." 

The Sun Mon Wheels has a low IQ, and it is difficult to obtain its source core by force.

After losing its source core, the Sun Moon Wheels's body shrank a bit. Its rhizome unconsciously explored around, then picked a location and took root in the soil.

"What's going on?" Feng Chenxiu, the curious baby, looked at this scene in surprise.

"Plant beasts can think because of the source core. Once they lose the source core, they will return to their original state. After several years of growth, new source cores will be born." Huo Yin explained.

"So," Su Mo said, "As long as we master the correct method, we won't need to kill these plant beasts to obtain their source core?"

"Theoretically, that is true. Many resources in nature are renewable and sufficient to meet the survival and evolution needs of all living things. However, humans are more aggressive than any living being. For their benefit, they often over-exploit and destroy the environment. It’s riddled with holes. Isn’t this what caused our Blue Star’s tragedy?”

Everyone was silent.

The current environment of Blue Star is almost apocalyptic. People and animals live under strong radiation, suffer from diseases, and have their life spans greatly shortened.

"I like the Creation Star very much." Huo Yin looked at the starry sky and said calmly, "Although we have to face fierce battles all the time, under the supervision of the planet's consciousness, everyone must follow the rules of nature and not dare to cause wanton damage to this planet. Therefore, it can maintain strong vitality and continue to thrive, giving birth to a life that is constantly optimized from generation to generation.”

After Huo Yin finished speaking, Yuan Chu felt that his strength had increased several times. She turned her head and looked at Huo Yin. His luck changed again, dazzling like a flame, and his vitality became extraordinarily strong at that moment.

The world consciousness of the Creation star recognized Huo Yin.

Yuan Chu's eyes were clear and sparkling, and her heart was peaceful. Together with him, she shared the luck given by the consciousness of the planet.

Huo Yin did not continue to sigh, put away the source core, and led everyone to evacuate the scene, preparing for the next battle.

In the end, Tyson failed to lead the herd of plants to Huo Yin because they were intercepted halfway.

The members of Huaguoshu who were supposed to be killed were scattered around the forest. 

Some were standing on rocks, some were hanging on tree branches, and some were lying in the grass, creating trouble for Zhan Song in all kinds of ways.

"No, it's impossible. How can you all be okay?" Ji Ming looked at these familiar faces in disbelief.

"Tsk!" Milu sneered, "You were trained by the boss for ten years. Do you think you have any other means that the boss doesn't know?"

"Tsk tsk, his face looks pretty good, it's much greasier than before," Champagne said.

"Fuck your grandma, Ji Ming! The boss was so kind to you, why did you retaliate?" Wu Mao yelled, "Even if you want to kneel and lick the country of Dali, there is no need to murder the boss!"

"Not only does he want to kill the boss, he also wants to kill us all." Mi Lu coldly snorted.

"What do you know! I'm not from Huaguo at all." Ji Ming roared angrily, "My father was from Dali, and after marrying my mother, he settled in Huaguo and died of radiation. Huaguo has been rotten to the core! It's not worth saving at all!"

"So, you colluded with outsiders to hunt down the Huaguo soldiers in an attempt to destroy the Huaguo Kingdom?" Huo Yin slowly walked out of the woods, staring at Ji Ming with a serious look.

Ji Ming took a step back subconsciously, his eyes dodging.

"Boss, you're  done?" Mi Lu asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Huo Yin responded casually, never taking his eyes away from Ji Ming.

Huo Yin didn't know that Ji Ming's father was from Dali, but he knew that his mother was a native of Huaguo. 

Radiation pollution is not the fault of a country, but the common sin of all mankind. The Huaguo officials who once held high positions all put down their pride and gave everything to save their country, and many even paid the price with their lives. 

This is no longer a personal grievance, but a national righteousness that affects the life and death of tens of millions of people.

Huo Yin couldn't understand what Ji Ming did. Blaming the world's disaster for his father's death, he not only betrayed the country that gave birth to him but also retaliated and killed the brothers who lived and died together with him. What did they do wrong?

Whether it was for revenge or personal gain, Huo Yin would never forgive him.

"Huo Yin!" A roar came from not far away, followed by a bullet as fast as lightning.

Huo Yin's ears moved slightly and he took a step sideways to avoid the bullet.

Tyson rushed towards him menacingly, his muscles swelled and he was surrounded by black light.

Huo Yin's eyes were sharp and he stepped forward without fear.

The battle between the captains of the two teams officially kicked off the melee.

The members of Huaguoshu are ready to work and have high morale. 

All the members of Zhan Song were injured and their momentum was low. One after another, the enemy retreated steadily, resulting in heavy casualties.

Regardless of whether they are enemies or friends, plant beasts will attack anyone they see, but they are not a fighting race, and the highest level is only level 7. If there were not too many in number and various attack methods, they would not pose much of a threat to the evolvers.

The men on both sides fought desperately amid the dance of the plant beasts.

The members of Zhan Song were obviously in poor condition and soon showed signs of collapse.

Tyson saw his team members fall one by one, and his heart was filled with rage. He knew that he might not be able to be kind this time, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Yuan Chu, who was standing still under the tree, seemed to feel something and looked at Tyson.

She raised her right foot slightly, then took it back again.

After more than ten seconds, Tyson will take out a powerful mini-bomb, trying to blow Huo Yin and the Huaguoshu members into dregs and bury them with the Zhan Song members. He will then use the space source core to directly return to Blue Star.

At first, Yuan Chu wanted to remind or stop it, but she finally gave up.

With Huo Yin's current luck, there must be a glimmer of hope in a dead situation. If she intervenes hastily, not only may she be discovered by Tiandao, but it may also affect Huo Yin's growth. 

The important thing is that this matter involves dozens of lives, and she can only guarantee to save one at most if she intervenes, but if it is left to Huo Yin, there may be a chance to save them all.

Yuan Chu believed in Huo Yin.

While thinking about it, Tyson had already taken out the mini-bomb just as she had predicted. 

While Huo Yin was dodging the stray attacks, Tyson suddenly threw the bomb at him.

"Go to hell!!!"
