Chapter 332: Changes in An Ruhuishui
Soon, a basin-sized gap was carved out in the vines of the corridor, revealing the interior. The vines inside were still entangled, but their color was closer to a grayish-white, similar to the giant vine seen by everyone before.
The two mercenaries, wielding machetes, chopped for a while before handing over the task to the others to take turns. The vines here seemed to grow exceptionally hard, making the chopping process feel like cutting through stone. Several people were exhausted and panting by the time they managed to cut through a few vines.
"Something’s not right. Did any of you smell something, like a bloody scent?"
Han Yan sniffed the air, her gaze revealing a hint of alertness.
"Captain, doesn’t seem to be anything unusual. Maybe it’s just a feeling of oxygen intoxication, a bit dizzy. Perhaps it’s because there are too many plants here."
Several mercenaries shook their heads. They were seasoned veterans who had experienced numerous battles. They were sensitive to the smell of blood and wouldn’t miss it.
"No, it’s definitely the smell of blood. Stop chopping. Wait a moment."
Han Yan became increasingly uneasy. Ever since entering this botanical garden, everything seemed strange. The rampant growth of vines, the colossal plants blocking out the sky, and the three people who disappeared without a trace—all contributed to her growing unease.
However, when she thought about the intelligence she had received and the value of the thing inside the botanical garden, she hesitated to give up.
