Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429: 239 Trapped (First Update)_2

Fang Yuxin walked, deep in thought. She suddenly thought of a method to deal with the mutant plants, as troublesome as they were, nature provided many parasitic plants, such as Cuscuta chinensis. This plant was lush, with tendrils that could sprout parasitic roots and insert them into the host’s body.

If she had a mutated Cuscuta chinensis, it might be perfect to combat the Mutated Rose.

However, this was just her speculation, and moreover, she had never heard of Cuscuta chinensis parasitizing on a rose. Moreover, she didn’t even have a mutated Cuscuta chinensis, not to mention its seeds; she could only think about it.

As she pondered, she was already approaching the Mutated Rose. At the same time, Fang Yuyang was nearby, vigilantly watching the surroundings, ready to help her fend off any sneak attacks. _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

As the two of them approached, the Mutated Rose seemed to become more alert. Its thick branches grew and tangled ceaselessly, and its large, dense leaves overlapped to form an impenetrable shield wall, preparing to defend against their attacks.

At the same time, at the base of the petiole, buds the size of soybeans silently stretched out, with delicate flower stems attached below, seemingly easy to snap with a gentle pinch. The small buds gradually grew to the size of a thumb, the top opened a tiny mouth, and a stamen extended from it, opening an even smaller mouth, like a venomous snake, hidden under the leaves, ready to launch a sneak attack at any moment.

Fang Yuxin gripped the handle of her blade and swung forcefully, the long, narrow blade slicing quickly through the air, and with a sharp whoosh, it chopped towards the shield wall made of overlapping leaves.

"Thud!"

The sharp blade hit the shield wall, but instead of the expected rustling of leaves, it produced a dull thud like a blade chopping wood.

The leaf surface was sliced, and green sap oozed from the wound, but in an instant, the incision healed itself.

Fang Yuxin narrowed her eyes, suddenly took a step back to dodge the lashing bud, and simultaneously twisted her wrist, chopping the blade onto the delicate flower stem. The stem looked extremely frail, about two to three millimeters in diameter, and should have been easily severed. Yet, when the blade hit it, it made a sound like metal striking stone!

The stem was slightly nicked before swiftly retracting back, disappearing into the stacked leaves. Fang Yuxin used her Spiritual Sense to observe, noticing that the bud had completely retracted to the base of the petiole, again reduced to the size of a soybean, looking like a tiny bud.

Fang Yuyang saw that neither of Fang Yuxin’s attacks had been very effective. Worried she might feel disheartened, he reassured her, "Xinxin, don’t rush. This Mutated Rose is almost Level 3, so it’s understandable that it has high defense."
