Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Wood Magic and the Inescapable Net_1

However, Gao Xuecai’s attention was elsewhere. Before Qin Sisi could say anything, his gaze had already swept past her and landed on the experintal table inside.

"No!" He scread, staggering forward. His trembling palm brushed over the plant roots on the woman’s corpse as he cried in disbelief, "What happened? What happened? Where are my plants? Where is my fruit? How co it’s all gone?"

Mumbling to himself for a long while, Gao Xuecai suddenly seed to realize sothing. He swiftly turned his head and glared at Qin Sisi, aggressively accusing her, "Was it you? Did you destroy the results of my research?"

Qin Sisi’s first thought was: this man is a lunatic.

She paused for a mont before calmly responding, "Yes, it was I who destroyed your research. Such a vicious plant that feeds on human flesh should not exist in this world."

"You don’t understand a damn thing!" Gao Xuecai swore angrily, "This is science, you understand? The advancent of science inevitably requires a blood sacrifice. Hippasus drowned, Bruno was burned, Socrates was poisoned. Their lives bought the progression of science and you mortals only reap the benefits!"

Qin Sisi frowned, raising her voice to argue, "They sacrificed their own lives but the lives you took belonged to others. The situations cannot be compared."

"Hmph!" Gao Xuecai snorted disdainfully, "It’s an honor for them to sacrifice for science."

"What bullshit! You’re a selfish beast who disregards human life!"

Unable to hold back her anger any longer, Qin Sisi bellowed at him. Rational people truly cannot converse with fanatics.

Gao Xuecai’s eyes darkened with malicious intent as he glared at Qin Sisi, ominously declaring, "Since you’ve destroyed my experint, you’ll be the next specin!"

With that, he reached out with an unusually large palm towards Qin Sisi.

"Fireball Technique!" Terrified, Qin Sisi yelled out, raising her right palm towards Gao Xuecai.

At the sa mont, Ye You also lifted his claw, forming a speedy blue radiance and striking out.

A hint of a tornado-like vortex appeared in the blue glow, shouting as it assailed Gao Xuecai’s chest. The wind energy contained within it pushed him forcefully backwards.

With no ability to resist, Gao Xuecai was pushed back by Ye You’s wind attribute magic and crashed into the wall, collapsing weakly onto the ground.

Unfortunately, due to Ye You’s force, being too far away, the fireball released by Qin Sisi fizzled out just as it reached Gao Xuecai. It only left a black scorch mark on his clothes and did not harm him physically.

Qin Sisi regretfully looked towards Ye You, who was also bemused. He hadn’t expected his own magic to void Qin Sisi’s magic.

Seeing Gao Xuecai collapsed on the ground, Qin Sisi dearly wished to send him to hell with her own hands.

However, rembering Ye You’s advice to follow the rules of the human world as much as possible, she suppressed her anger. She looked up and addressed ng Xiaofei and Xu Min, who were cowering in the corner, "Didn’t you want to take revenge? Now’s your chance!"

ng Xiaofei and Xu Min exchanged apprehensive glances, both displayed hesitation. The horrific scenes of Gao Xuecai’s torture likely evoked a natural fear within them.

Seeing their hesitation, Qin Sisi impatiently reminded them, "You’re ghosts now. He cannot see or harm you."

The two ghosts finally understood, "Right, we’re already dead, we’re ghosts now with nothing left to lose, what is there to fear?"

Xu Min gritted her teeth and charged at Gao Xuecai first, and seeing this, ng Xiaofei no longer hesitated to follow.

The two ghosts were about to exhaust all their spiritual power to drain Gao Xuecai’s Yang energy and kill him. But just as they were about to approach him, Gao Xuecai suddenly tore open his shirt revealing his chest, unlocking his arms and adopting a strange pose.

Before Qin Sisi could understand what was happening, Xu Min and ng Xiaofei both scread, being thrown back by so unknown force.

This ti, the two ghosts were thoroughly frightened, they curled up weakly, not daring to approach again.

Startled, Qin Sisi hurriedly looked towards Gao Xuecai, only to see him with a strange symbol drawn in dan cinnabar across his chest and palms.

"Exorcism talisman." Ye You stated solemnly, his gaze stern.

Although Qin Sisi did not understand, she could guess its function based on its na.

Aren’t scientists supposed to be objective atheists?

She was surprised to find that Gao Xuecai, a doctorate in biological pharmaceuticals, believed in ghosts and spirits, to avoid being haunted by the vengeful spirits of the people he had hard, he had painted an exorcism talisman on himself.

Angered and helpless, Qin Sisi thought to herself: dealing with a scientist who knows the occult theory of yin and yang is really challenging.

"What should we do?" Qin Sisi anxiously turned to Ye You in a whisper. If they couldn’t get the two ghosts to intervene, it would be up to her.

Ye You turned his head, looked into Qin Sisi’s eyes and plied her seriously, "Sisi, like I said, this is your hotown. I don’t want your hands to be stained with blood here."

"But..." Qin Sisi began hesitantly. Yet in the urgency of the situation, she did not mind personally taking down the beast.

"Let

do it." Ye You murmured, a fierce glint flashing through his violet eyes.

He gently raised his claw, chanted a spell in his mind and pooled the magic energy within himself. A ball of green light began to form in his hands.

"Wood Magic, Inescapable Net!"

With a deep resonating call from Ye You, the green light from his hands was cast upon the female corpse on the experinting table.

The next mont, the plant roots intertwined within the body suddenly began growing at a rapid pace, becoming long and thick.

One by one, the roots looked exactly like creeping vines, flying towards Gao Xuecai.

Gao Xuecai paled with fear. He quickly abandoned his strange pose and struggled vainly to repel the initial two roots. Standing up in an attempt to escape, he finally understood that the seemingly gentle and beautiful woman before him was a tough one to deal with.

’Where there’s life, there’s hope.’

Escape first, contemplate later.

However, he had barely taken two steps when another root ca charging, tripping him to the ground.

The following roots ca one after another, tightly winding around Gao Xuecai from all directions.

At this point, Gao Xuecai was much like a moth courting its own destruction.

Using his last ounce of strength, Gao Xuecai tried to tear the vines binding him. But when he found the vines were far too sturdy, he let out a despairing roar, like a cornered animal.
