Reborn In the Apocalypse: My Hotel Has Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 178: The Bloodthirsty Thornvine

Upon hearing Chu Jiangyue’s words, Song Chengjun and Huo Jun both displayed evident smiles on their faces.

Although Shen Zhigui did not show it as clearly as the other two, the slight upward curve of his lips also revealed his good mood.

With the special flyer given by Chu Jiangyue, the three felt less tense about the upcoming adventure.

Each of the three spoke a few words to their team members, then resolutely turned and headed down to the service area below.

In her mind, Chu Jiangyue instructed Little Fox to keep an eye on their situation at all times, and should anything go wrong, she must lead the rescue.

This was not really a difficult task, and Little Fox readily agreed.

Actually, Little Fox had already scanned the service area and found nothing amiss.

However, Chu Jiangyue felt uneasy inside, and since it was impossible for her to reveal what Little Fox had scanned to the others, scouting this path was absolutely necessary.

With their senses on high alert, Shen Zhigui and the others stepped one by one into the service area, growing increasingly anxious with each step inside. Shen Zhigui couldn’t help but begin to gather Thunder Ability in his hands.

Seeing Shen Zhigui’s Thunder Ability, Song Chengjun and Huo Jun followed suit, both gathering powers in their hands.

Song Chengjun possessed Ice Ability, whereas Huo Jun had Dark Ability.

The three entered the service area gates, carefully inspecting for a long time, yet failed to find a living soul or any mutated animals.

"Could it be that we’re too anxious?"

Song Chengjun considered they might have misjudged the situation.

"No, upon entering, I sensed that eyes were on us, but I can’t pinpoint exactly where."

The sensation seemed to permeate all directions; whenever he focused on one, it immediately vanished, only to shift to another.

This perplexing situation was starting to irritate Shen Zhigui; anyone would grow impatient under such circumstances.

"Let’s check again more thoroughly."

Given Shen Zhigui’s feeling, Huo Jun thought it prudent to proceed with caution.

Song Chengjun nodded without any objection.

While traveling outside, caution is always advisable.

Yet, upon their second sweep, the trio still found nothing amiss.

Shen Zhigui frowned slightly, feeling something was out of place.

"Let’s leave, this type of inspection isn’t yielding any results. If there’s a trap here, given our team’s overall strength, we shouldn’t be helpless."

The saying ’strength in numbers’ is not just words.

After contemplating for a moment, Huo Jun and Shen Zhigui decided to retreat.

As for returning inside, it depended on everyone’s choice.

While discussing, the three intended to exit the service area, but just as they were about to step out the door, they simultaneously felt dizziness.

In that moment, all three shared the thought of having been careless.

A rustling sound approached, and they saw a thorny vine as thick as a baby’s arm.

Unlike the Little Vine on Chu Jiangyue’s wrist resembling the Emperor Green Bracelet, the main vine was vividly red, appearing nefarious.

"Host! Shen Zhigui and they are in danger!"

Little Fox had been closely monitoring Song Chengjun and his group and promptly alerted Chu Jiangyue when the thorny vine appeared.

Upon receiving Little Fox’s warning, Chu Jiangyue’s expression stiffened; she hurriedly assembled the previously discussed rescue team and led them towards the service area.

"It’s the Bloodthirsty Thorn Vine! Host, be careful not to get injured by it, as it can easily trigger its Frenzy Mode.

In Frenzy Mode, the combat power of mutated animals and plants instantly doubles!

Moreover, it upgrades by bloodsucking; being this large and its vine so red, it must have drunk quite a bit of blood."

Little Fox’s words made Chu Jiangyue’s mood turn solemn, as she reiterated Little Fox’s warning to the group and informed Shen Zhigui about the Bloodthirsty Thorn Vine.

Upon hearing Chu Jiangyue’s words, Jin Chuyu and Su Zhucheng’s expressions turned somber.

They had only considered the possibility of ambush and robbery, never expecting to encounter mutated plants.

Moreover, according to Chu Jiangyue, this particular mutated plant seemed quite troublesome.

A slight misstep could result in being drained to a husk.

"Let’s go take a closer look; maybe it’s not as bad as we imagine."

Chu Jiangyue suggested, while mentally asking Little Fox if the Bloodthirsty Thorn Vine had any weaknesses.

In life, everything has its weaknesses; surely, the Bloodthirsty Thorn Vine would too.

"Mutated plants are certainly afraid of fire, and Thunder Ability works too."

After all, despite its prowess, it’s still essentially a wooden plant.

"Given that it’s a mutated plant, it’s most afraid of fire. We should call more Fire Ability Users; it shouldn’t pose too much trouble."

After speaking with Jin Chuyu, Chu Jiangyue sent another message to Shen Zhigui.

"I am a Fire Ability user; I will lead the charge!"

Upon hearing Chu Jiangyue, Lin Xuyuan stepped forward without hesitation.

Jin Churan also stepped forward: "I am also a Fire Ability user!"

Among the group, both of their Fire Abilities ranked at the forefront.

Inside the service area, Shen Zhigui and the others had gathered their abilities, but though the trio’s combined attack on the Bloodthirsty Thorn Vine, only Shen Zhigui’s Thunder Ability significantly charred a large section of the vine.

While the others’ abilities caused damage, they were not as effective as Shen Zhigui’s.

"Our abilities aren’t very effective. Mr. Shen, you’ll have to take the lead, we’ll support you."

Shen Zhigui nodded, as that was his intention as well.

"Someone just messaged me!"

The message only could have originated from those outside.

Song Chengjun and Huo Jun covered Shen Zhigui, allowing him to check the message.

With a thought, Shen Zhigui summoned a virtual screen before him and quickly read the message from Chu Jiangyue.

Reading the message, Shen Zhigui’s tension eased slightly.

"Boss Chu messaged me; this is a Bloodthirsty Thorn Vine growing by bloodsucking.

However, mutated plants are most afraid of fire; Thunder Abilities can cause significant damage.

Boss Chu and her team are on their way; we only need to ensure our safety."

Shen Zhigui had great trust in Chu Jiangyue’s words.

After hearing Shen Zhigui, both Huo Jun and Song Chengjun breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it had a weakness; the alternative would be disastrous once their abilities ran out, setting them up for harm.

"Let me soak it with Ice Ability first; then you use Thunder Ability on it!"

Water conducts electricity; so if ice melts into water, it surely conducts electricity as well.

Song Chengjun suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Shen Zhigui and Huo Jun’s eyes gleamed upon hearing it.
