Chapter 163: A Western Cowboy-Style Belt Pocket

Translator: Pluto Editor: Ver into the air They fell likea s for al from a distance, there were already about five small mounds scattered around her Based on her memory, this was certainly the spot where Snow disappeared Unfortunately, though Lin Sanjiu had dug through a large surface area of soil, revealing the network of tightly packed giant white rhizole person even afterof hope was dashed abruptly Lin Sanjiu could feel her blood vessels pulsating She

[Should I try another area?] She tried her best to encourage herself She walked back to the caround nervously She didn’t even dare to take a break to catch her breath She continued digging for another two hours straight before she finally collapsed and sat down on one of the mounds She looked at the sweat and dirt all over her and tasted the bitterness in her ht was before her The plants which once spotted the landscape had been uprooted and du with soil and rocks White rhizomes with the size of locomotives were revealed beneath the surface The intricate network of roots covered a large area It was just as if someone’s skin had been pried open and instead of blood and flesh, there were only countless white ots

However, this was only the upper layer of the ‘white radishes’ A large part of their round, and who kno deep they extended

"Is it possible that thepeople and animals weren't sucked into this network of radishes?" Lin Sanjiu , why are there dead people encased within them…"

The alternative was that people coincidentally died in this area As the ‘white radish’ grew, they gradually wrapped around the corpses Thinking, Lin Sanjiu felt that this hypothesis was also plausible After all, she had touched those thingsIf the ‘white radishes’ did attack people, there was no reason she was still perfectly fine here

Actually, the simplest solution was to find a rat or a worh she had stirred up the ground quite a bit while digging, not a single bug appeared from the soil or the plants

She remembered that when she first came to Garden of Eden, she saw many hideous, helmet-sized beetles Their heads were covered with red compound eyes and there was always a couple around, whether she was sleeping, eating or walking They appeared out of nowhere and occasionally Hui Chuyan would shriek out when she was caught off guard Xueqin even taunted the girl for that

The beetles’ nests were equally disgusting The nests comprised of a few shallow round holes Typically, each nest held four beetles, which also fitted precisely four human heads Lin Sanjiu was so familiar with this detail because she had already destroyed quite a nu She wondered when those beetles disappeared from their nests, just like her coazed vacantly at the network of white roots in front of her She started to count the hours subconsciously Snow, Bai Xiaoke and Error 517 were the earliest to disappear It had already been 24 hours Even though she didn’t know the exact time the others disappeared, it had already been almost 15 hours since she first discovered their disappearance

As her mind drifted in that direction, Lin Sanjiu quickly slapped herself

"I don’t care how long they’ve been gone!" She clenched her teeth as she furrowed her brows in resolution "If they are alive, I want to see them Even if they’re dead, I need to see their corpses!"

As Lin Sanjiu did not knohat those ‘white radishes’ were, she was still quite wary about the and avoided even scraping the surface of their skin However, now enraged, she didn’t care anymore She took out Er Dao’s saber and swiftly struck a ‘white radish’ with it

The white epidermises of the radishes weren't as hard as they appeared to be Just as the blade of the saber touched the epidermis of that radish, the epidermis suddenly split open by itself even without the saber cutting through its surface Perhaps, split open was the proper term here It was more like it opened up, like how a person opens his mouth to eat The epidermis of the white radish opened up and Lin Sanjiu could see long strands of sli

Her saber sunk into the soft, slielatinous mess without any resistance Then, the ‘white radish’ instantly sealed its epider half the saber in its ‘mouth’ Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a few seconds as she held the hilt of the saber in her hand She wanted to ss deviated so much from her expectations, she didn’t knohat to do momentarily

[Should I pull the knife out? Or should I just slash through?]

Before she could ain "Slurp" The saber was ‘spat out’ froe amount of slime The sealed epidermis looked the same as before as if it had never opened up in the first place
