From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 293: Chapter 388: The Great Task of Saving Tianjiang_1

What the fuck?!?

Fang Ren was completely dumbfounded.

What do you mean there's no time to explain? Couldn't you be clearer when I came to catch Old Master Bai? Why do you have to use the internet slang young people are fond of?

"Well, Bai..."

Just as Fang Ren was about to voice his resistance, he felt a tremendous force pulling at him, and he was whisked away into the building along with Bai Chaojin.

Buzz——

Bai Chaojin didn't give him any time to think. After entering the building, he charged straight for the destroyed elevator and descended over fifty meters.

Bang!

With a loud crash, the steel plates at the bottom of the laboratory dented under Bai Chaojin's stomping, and all the staff looked on in bemusement as Bai Chaojin returned with Fang Ren in tow.

"You, kid from the Fang Family! You better think of something fast!"

Bai Chaojin shook Fang Ren's shoulders several times, pointing at the plants spreading rampantly within the lab and shouting with a face full of panic.

Fang Ren, dizzy from the shaking, took in the lab and the group of researchers. He never imagined that he would simply walk into the main base of the Indra Sky research facility.

Moreover, it seemed that Bai Chaojin hadn't dragged him here to be part of an experiment but to ask for his help.

Before Fang Ren could get a handle on the situation, a researcher inside let out a piercing scream. A plant had pierced his arm; he only managed to get half a scream out before it covered his entire body, turning him instantly into a clump of grass and flowers.

Fang Ren quickly brushed off Bai Chaojin's hand from his shoulder and, using his mind's eye, inspected Bai Xi's condition. Only at this close range did he realize the immense energy he had sensed earlier was being emitted by these plants, all of which were linked to Bai Xi.

Bai Xi was buried under mounds of plants. Her lifeless body was topped with a floating green glow connected to her Spiritual Root, which was providing vitality to all the plants but wasn't reviving Bai Xi.

This fact suddenly fueled Fang Ren's anger, and he turned to glare at Bai Chaojin, "You really are ruthless! Using your own granddaughter as an experimental subject!"

"Damn it!"

Fang Ren swore and said through gritted teeth, "Tell me what I need to do!"

Bai Chaojin felt a sigh of relief and directed his True Qi to block the plants that were pouring into the laboratory. "Qi'er has your Spiritual Root inside her. All you need to do is awaken that Spiritual Root and use it to suppress Qi'er's Life Spiritual Root.

However, the biggest problem now is that you can't touch Qi'er through this thick layer of plants, which might prevent you from awakening it."

Fang Ren frowned and said, "Are these plants deadly to the touch?"

Bai Chaojin replied, "At least my True Qi can't resist their corrosion, and I dare not touch them."

Fang Ren looked at the countless plant-encased bodies in the laboratory and at the green plants that continued to spread, feeling a tingling at the back of his head.

He didn't dare to touch those plants. But as for awakening the Spiritual Root, there was no way to do that from such a distance.

"Damn it, eureka!"

Just as Fang Ren fretted, suddenly, little Qianye jumped out from his pocket, plopped onto his shoulder, and looked confusedly adorable.

Everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the charming creature.

"Is this... a Spirit Form?" Bai Chaojin furrowed his brows. He could sense the rich Spiritual Root aura from Qianye and knew that it was undoubtedly a Spirit Form, but since when had Spirit Forms been alive, let alone capable of speaking?

Fang Ren grabbed little Qianye and, seeing its confidence, knew it must have a solution.

Fang Ren patted Qianye's backside and said earnestly, "Go on, Pikachu, the tremendous task of saving Tianjiang rests on you!"

"Pikachu?" Qianye appeared confused, gnawing on its round arm, then tilting its little head. "Pikachu?"

"Don't worry about it; it just means an amazingly cool adjective," said Fang Ren impatiently.

Qianye nodded seriously, shouted "Pikachu," and charged right into the pile of plants.
