Chapter 2130: Nest
The moment the first shadow stepped into the Huo Grass, both Ye Zhongming and the other squad members were extremely tense, ready to act. Yet, nothing happened.
The squad members were puzzled. Typically, whether mutated animals, mutated plants, or even parasites, all had a strong sense of territory and would relentlessly attack any lifeform that dared to invade their domain.
Mutated plants, in particular, were less intelligent than other mutated lifeforms and mostly acted on instinct. So, it was quite unexpected that the shadow did not come under immediate attack.
The shadow, identical to Ye Zhongming, took a few more steps forward. Finding nothing amiss, it paused briefly, then suddenly pressed its hands downward. A surge of power erupted from its palms, striking the Huo Grass on the ground and sending clumps of dirt flying.
Yet, the entire Hive Nest remained silent.
He’s expression grew grim. She did not believe the Huo Grass was afraid, nor that it was in dormancy.
Since neither of those explanations fit, it meant only one thing: they did not fully understand the Huo Grass, and something was amiss that explained their lack of response.
“Shi Yong, use your speed to strike a single Huo Grass quickly. Remember, launch the attack and then retreat immediately.”
After some thought, He decided to try a different approach.
