Ren Xiaosu was glad that he had managed to find Luo Lan very smoothly. He followed the direction in which the creeper vine's vines were rolling and found Luo Lan's position at the end.
But this was probably because Zhou Xiaosu had saved himself. If he had not held on for so long and withered so many of the vines, the creeper vine would not have been so furious that it wanted to focus its attacks on them. And Ren Xiaosu would not have been able to locate them either.
The group of people fled aimlessly. They could no longer see any other goods in the stronghold. This stronghold had been completely taken over by a plant.
Before this, they had never thought that even plants could be so terrifying in this world.
While everyone was fleeing, the creeper vine's vine tentacles were still following them. It did not attack them, but it did not give up either.
"Ren Xiaosu, what do we do?" Luo Lan shouted while panting.
Zhou Yingxue turned around and had a look. As Ren Xiaosu was wearing his armor to fend off the vines, he became the final target of the creeper vine in the entire stronghold.
The creeper vine seemed to want to vent all its anger on him as its endless vines swept towards him.
The vines surrounded Ren Xiaosu like a ball of yarn. The spikes on its tentacles were all trying to dismember the armor!
There was no movement from the vines. It seemed like Ren Xiaosu was also helpless against so many vines.
Luo Lan shouted, "Let's go back and save him! We can't leave him here alone!"
However, Zhou Yingxue snapped, "Just take care of yourself. These vines can't trap my master!"
Luo Lan nearly burst into tears. It had only been a few days since they last met, but Ren Xiaosu had gotten himself another supernatural being as his maid? Why were all the supernatural beings crowding around Ren Xiaosu?!
As if to prove Zhou Yingxue's words, when all the vines wrapped around the vines, Luo Lan saw a black knife piercing through the vines from the inside out. Then, it slashed horizontally, and the seemingly tough vines were easily cut off!
The metal beast leaped out from the encirclement of the vines. Luo Lan heard Ren Xiaosu's voice, "Why are you still here? Hurry up and leave!"
Luo Lan thought to himself, fine, this guy really doesn't need saving.
Everyone started to run again, and Ren Xiaosu quickly caught up with them. None of the vines could stop him in his tracks.
When Ren Xiaosu got to Li Ran's side, the armor instantly retracted into his bloodstream. After the cute nanomachines entered his body, they immediately retracted their mechanical arms and curled up into a small ball to recharge themselves. They were waiting for their master's next summon.
But just as the nanomachines were about to fully enter his body, a vine suddenly tried to stab into Ren Xiaosu's left arm.
In a hurry, Ren Xiaosu mobilized the nanomachines to gather on the surface of his arm and blocked the attack. The price he had to pay was that a small piece of the defensive armor constructed by the nanomachines fell to the ground because of the stab.
After all, he had activated the nanomachines again in a hurry, so Ren Xiaosu did not think it would be a big deal to lose some nanomachines. Luo Lan had mentioned that the Kyung Clan had fully mastered the nanomachines technology, and all the researchers were in their hands. So if Ren Xiaosu wanted to replenish his nanomachines, he could go to the Kyung Clan to get them at any time.
Or with his relationship with the Kyung Clan, it would even be reasonable for them to deliver the nanomachines to him.
There was no time to think. Ren Xiaosu put on his glove again and held Li Ran's hand. Zhou Yingxue curled her lips to herself. She still had the time to think in the midst of their escape. Her master was treating everyone equally, wasn't he?
But at such a critical juncture, how could he still be in the mood to put on an extra glove?
When Ren Xiaosu held Li Ran's hand, Li Ran's happiness skyrocketed. But she immediately realized why the hand she was holding felt so furry.
The creeper vine stopped attacking Ren Xiaosu again. But this time, Ren Xiaosu's direct confrontation with it was too intense. No matter how low its intelligence was, it could still sense that something was wrong.
All of the vines turned around and pointed their spearheads at Ren Xiaosu. They did not make a move and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Let's go, let's go." Ren Xiaosu sensed that something was not right. "I hope it only has a seven-second memory like a fish. If it can forget about us after those seven seconds, that would be perfect …."
Luo Lan thought about this as he ran. This escape was a different kind of experience. Everyone was holding hands as they ran. Amidst the nervousness and fear, there was even a hint of joy. It was as though they were running towards a field of hope.
But no one noticed that when the nanomachines on Ren Xiaosu's arm fell off, a surveillance camera on the street suddenly turned to look at them.
After the armor was removed, it would immediately turn a dull gray color. But this time, when it landed on the ground, it turned into a silver liquid form again. The little guys stood there in a daze. It was as though a program had entered their bodies and started fighting for control with Ren Xiaosu.
But no matter how hard the program tried, it could not wrestle control of the nanomachines away. It was only when Ren Xiaosu was far away that it found an opportunity!
When the nanomachines refreshed again, the little guys started moving again. Then the silver liquid metal kept flowing towards the surveillance camera.
When the small cluster of liquid metal nanomachines got close to the lamp post installed with the surveillance camera, they instantly melted into it and disappeared.
Ren Xiaosu frowned as he sensed something. Although the nanomachines had fallen off, he could still sense them.
But now, they had completely lost contact with Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu thought it was probably because they were too far away. Or maybe it was because the nanomachines had run out of energy. Ren Xiaosu did not take this matter to heart.
He did not lose a lot of nanomachines. Ren Xiaosu did not even need to look for the Kyung Clan to replenish them. This small loss would not affect the armor at all.
Surrounded by the creeper vines, Ren Xiaosu and the others ran for more than ten kilometers. Luo Lan was so tired that he was about to collapse. In the end, it was Zhou Yingxue and Zhou Qi who had to carry him as they ran. Fatty Luo kept "flying" off the ground and suddenly felt that this escape was even more joyous.
Slowly, the creeper vine got closer and closer to them. Ren Xiaosu had an ominous feeling about this. Sure enough, the creeper vine started trying to attack them in the next second, and he was the first to bear the brunt of the attack.
"Master, what do we do? My power doesn't work anymore!" Zhou Yingxue was getting anxious. If her power failed, wouldn't everyone die here?
Luo Lan was no longer in the mood to run towards the field of hope. "Female comrade, can you think of another way …."
But when Zhou Yingxue tried to communicate with the creeper vines, she could only feel a tyrannical emotion flowing through the vines.
Even Zhou Yingxue could do nothing about it!
Zhou Qi wanted to use his power to drain the nearby vines again, but there were too many of them. As a result, the backlash from his power made him spit out a mouthful of blood!
Ren Xiaosu looked around as the black saber in his hand kept slashing at the vines that were sweeping towards him.
Luo Lan sighed. "I'm considered luckier than the hundreds of thousands of people in the stronghold to be able to survive until now."
But at this moment, Li Ran realized she had pulled her hand away.
Ren Xiaosu was alone. Instead of advancing, he retreated. Luo Lan turned around and looked at Ren Xiaosu in shock. Ren Xiaosu's expression was hidden behind his hood.
Ren Xiaosu said, "The person it hates the most right now is me. Y 'all keep going."
