(Two in one)
…
Ke Ji turned to the devil vine, his gaze became cold, his vast metal power vibrated slightly, calling for his old friend.
A colossal monster appeared beside Ke Ji, a three-story-high super mecha in such a huge forest covered with trees more than ten meters high, it was actually not inconspicuous at all.
Ke Ji leapt into the air and jumped onto the mecha. The huge mecha is not heavy at all, and it quickly shuttles through the forest, crushing all obstacles in front of it.
In less than a minute, Ke Ji rushed to the vicinity of the main vine.
He looked around hastily, only to see Xiao Ziyang and Luo Xiaoyu lying on the ground, covered in blood, their mouths slightly opened unconsciously, and he couldn’t tell if it was blood or something that fell around their mouths.
Ke Ji jumped off the mecha, he grabbed Xiao Ziyang and asked loudly: “Where are the others?!”
Xiao Ziyang turned very slowly— his eyes went to look at Ke Ji, his pupils slowly focusing back as he muttered: “Captured by those vines, all captured…”
“Then bang—slam, those people are gone, only their skin is left…”
Ke Ji let go of his hand suddenly, he looked up into the air, there were still four people hanging from the waving vines.
There are only four people.
His heart was beating extremely fast, he jumped onto the mecha, and jumped up. The mecha stretched out its huge mechanical hands and grabbed the four thick vines.
The mechanical hand slowly spread out, and the four severed vines automatically opened the bindings, revealing the four corpses inside that were so compressed that they were barely recognizable as human beings.
Ke Ji’s breathing was tight, and he forced himself to look over to see if there was Lu Liran inside.
No, at least not the clothes that Lu Liran was wearing today.
Lu Liran is wearing light-colored denim trousers and a beige jacket today. The style of the off-road suit that Ke Ji was used to seeing was not the same, if not for the inappropriate timing of the encounter, he would have complimented Lu Li Ran’s outfit first.
Ke Ji heaved a sigh of relief, and sat in the mecha operating position with some relief.
There was no child in the four corpses— so the family of three, perhaps Lu Liran led that family of three to split up.
Ke Ji asked Lu Liran to take people away first, because he was sure that it was just the scratch on the boy’s leg, which would not lead to the pursuit of the main vine. If it was just the auxiliary vine, he believed that Lu Liran could handle it completely.
But Xiao Ziyang’s side right now was completely unexpected.
After confirming that Lu Liran was not among the four corpses, Ke Ji felt relieved. After moving Xiao Ziyang and Luo Xiaoyu to a safe area, he took a deep breath, patted the mecha, and said in a deep voice: “Familiar?”
The iron giant made a muffled rumbling sound, and rushed towards the savagely growing main vine with great strides. The huge impact of the mecha knocked the main vine almost toppling it over, and the countless roots that had penetrated deep into the soil were knocked over, and danced wildly with teeth and claws.
Ke Ji’s mental power is shared and connected with the mecha’s energy source, and every force of the mecha is accompanied by infinite mental power. The strong and pure mental power condensed into visible-circle ripples, centered on the main vine’s position. It vibrates violently and spreads out, breaking the surrounding giant trees down the middle!
The iron giant circled its hands around the main vines and remained unmoved by how much the vines bound over, easily breaking the vines wrapped around its fuselage.
It exerted force suddenly, making a rumbling sound, like thunder after a heavy rain, and the roots under the main vine were actually pulled out by the iron giant!
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Ke Ji manipulated the mecha to throw the main vine horizontally, and saw that the roots underneath were pulled out of the soil by more than a dozen meters due to inertia, but they didn’t have the slightest intention of completely detaching themselves.

With a thought in his mind, the iron giant several stories high suddenly shrank and folded, and within a few seconds, in a blink of an eye, it shrank into a hand-held weapon, which spontaneously covered Ke Ji’s arm.
Ke Ji grabbed the severed roots with force, the large muscles on his arm bulged with blue veins, he then let out a low growl, and forcibly pulled most of the roots out of the soil.
He pulled out a machete, and fiercely nailed the root into the ground. The strange metallic luster suggested that this machete was not as ordinary as it looked.
When Lu Liran arrived at the scene, he saw Ke Ji and the root in a tug-of-war.
He gasped, and hurried up to cut it off, but Ke Ji hurriedly called out to him: “Don’t cut it! Pull it out!”
Lu Liran’s movements were about to stop, and then he realized that it was not Ke Ji who was entangled in the root, but Ke Ji was pulling the root.
[What is Ke Meiren doing, aaaahhhh, screaming]
[Fuck, so careless, as expected of you]
[What the hell is going on here?! How come all the trees around here have been cut down?!]
[I’m going, are those blood? Are they??]
Lu Liran glanced at Ke Ji, and immediately, without asking any further questions, he backhand grabbed the thin stem, to help Ke Ji. After helping pull it out with Ke Ji, the man took out a machete again and nailed it in place.
Ke Ji took a breath, he looked at Lu Liran, and saw that Lu Liran was almost in good condition and didn’t look in any distress. He thanked God from the bottom of his heart.
“Is this the main vine?” Lu Liran asked.
Ke Ji nodded: “Unless the roots are pulled out and burned, even if this cluster of main vines is burned to ashes, it will come back again.”
Lu Liran looked in the direction of Ke Ji’s finger, and saw that the main vine had pierced the building, and the roar of several engines could be heard in the air, and huge flames could be seen spraying out from high altitude from time to time.
“Is that the military fleet of the Desolate Star Government?” Lu Liran asked.
Ke Ji nodded: “They lack experience in dealing with devil vines, and the rack jets won’t last long! If they are swept away, the main vines will notice our side, and it will be even more troublesome to eradicate them.”
Lu Liran understood Ke Ji’s meaning. Desolate Star military fleet was like buying time for them.
As they spoke, a jet spraying kerosene was swept by the vines of the main vine. It hovered in mid-air with black smoke, and then was entangled up by the vines, throwing it to their side.
Seeing this, Ke Ji cursed, he grabbed Lu Liran and ran in the opposite direction.
There was a loud “crash”, and the billowing air wave immediately knocked the two of them out.
Lu Liran and Ke Ji lay on the ground, they turned their heads in difficulty, and saw that the area they had just been in had turned into a sea of flames.
“…what should we do?” Lu Liran looked at Ke Ji.
Ke Ji frowned, and after a few seconds of silence, he said to Lu Liran: “Retreat first, take Xiao Ziyang and the others out of this place, let’s put off a discussion until later.”
Lu Liran nodded, and after finding Xiao Ziyang, he saw that the man was already talking nonsense.
“……ah, it hurts……people are gone……what a big steel armor…bang, bang, bang……”
Ke Ji’s face remained unchanged, he took Xiao Ziyang from Lu Liran’s hand, and pressed his fingers lightly on the back of the man’s neck, within a few seconds, Xiao Ziyang rolled his eyes and passed out.
Ke Ji and Lu Liran carried two people out of the ruins-like simulated wilderness, and saw the miserable scene of vines growing everywhere outside.
There were people running from the water park, half naked and disheveled, and screaming.
[My God, I wanted to go to Xingmei today…]
[It’s so miserable…]
Lu Liran handed over Luo Xiaoyu to the medical staff who rushed over, and then looked at Ke Ji, and saw that Xiao Ziyang had also been put on a stretcher, but Ke Ji was gone.
Lu Liran frowned, and jumped onto the roof of the nearest fire truck, ignoring the shouts of several staff members below, and he climbed up and looked for Ke Ji from afar.
Soon, he found Ke Ji’s figure.
Ke Ji walked into the wild area against the flow of people. The jet just exploded a second time, and the original personnel, who were still at the scene to do emergency bandage treatment, all retreated.
The fire became more and more intense, and the rolling heat wave made it difficult for people to take a step closer.
Except Ke Ji.
Ke Ji approached slowly, staring deeply at the sea of flames, and his surging mental power enveloped the entire burning area.
The flame climbed up the trees and jumped to a height of more than ten meters, like a giant, making Ke Ji even smaller.
With Ke Ji as the center, the mental power rushed from all directions to the center of the burning sea of fire like a tide.
If someone was still here at this moment, they would be surprised to see that those fiercely burning hot flames were extinguished out of thin air in clusters, or in other words, they seem to be forced back.
Billowing waves of fire poured into the opened cracks in the ground one after another. After a few minutes, the place that was originally like a fiery inferno doesn’t even have half of a flame, and all that could be seen was a man standing there abruptly, walking slowly towards the place where the deepest slope opened.
Ke Ji’s cheeks were covered with cold sweat, he gritted his teeth and slowly walked towards the piece of soil where the main vine opened its roots.
It could be seen that the ground on the surface was burnt into grains by the fire, and in the uncovered soul, the light of the fire loomed, shining on Ke Ji’s cheek.
The ground under his feet was full of previous cracks, and in every cracked gap, flames could be seen swaying, as if magma was flowing underneath, and sparks would float out of the cracks from time to time.
Ke Ji’s face became paler, and he stood there straight and closed his eyes tightly, forcibly suppressing the mental power so that he could compress all the sea of fire into the soil, drilled deep into the root of the main vine, and burned the main root of the devil vine.
When Lu Liran rushed here, he saw Ke Ji standing there alone, he only had time to see a thing like a wall of fire in front of Ke Ji, retreating under the ground.
Lu Liran’s eyes widened slightly, somewhat hard to believe what he was seeing.
However, before he could digest what he saw, he heard an ear-piercing howling sound coming from the depths of his feet, and the whole ground shook violently again.
It was shocking to see the billowing heat waves and flames under the open land.
Lu Liran took a deep breath and looked at Ke Ji suddenly.
The man was dripping with cold sweat and closed his eyes tightly.
“You…” Lu Liran opened his mouth, but didn’t say anything more.
He grabbed Ke Ji’s hand, and under a violent shock, on the bumpy and cracked ground, the two were like two leaves floating in the torrent, supporting each other.
The blazing flames and the kerosene of a whole jet machine are enough to burn the roots of the main vine, especially under Ke Ji’s mental power, the flames penetrated everywhere, and once they found the root of the main vine, they spread quickly hitting the deepest part of it.
When the wildfire burned out, the land gradually returned to calm, and the looming flames completely subsided, and the entire land turned into crystal-clear granular substances, so beautiful that it was difficult to associate it with the ashes of the disaster after the fire.
Ke Ji slowly opened his eyes, his body swayed slightly, he took a step back staggeringly, and almost knelt down with some loss of strength, but was held firmly by a force.
He was slightly startled, he turned his head suddenly and saw Lu Liran, standing less than one meter behind him.
Ke Ji opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Lu Liran: “Let’s get out of here first.”
Lu Liran tightly grasped Ke Ji’s arm, supporting the man step by step out of the ruins.
Dozens of staff members of the medical and search and rescue teams ran in after the ground stopped shaking. One of them was about to stop Ke Ji and put him on a stretcher to take him out, but Ke Ji stopped him.
“I’m fine.” Ke Ji said in a deep voice, hiding his right arm covered with steel-blue mecha behind his back.
He glanced at the instrument in the hands of the search and rescue team that could detect energy fluctuations, and saw that instrument suddenly displayed—an extremely high peak.
He gently pulled Lu Liran off, he grabbed Lu Liran and walked away quickly.
“Hiss, the energy fluctuations here are so strong! What the hell is it?!”
“Hey, it seems to have disappeared again? Strange, did I read it wrong…”
The author has something to say:
Readers who read before 18:30, refresh again!! More than a thousand words were added!
The new title “After the susceptibility period, I Live Broadcast in the Wilderness to make Money for the Cub” is almost like this! Let’s get acquainted with each other~
(Is there any other idea for the title! Wide calling!)
I will find an editor to edit the title of the novel tomorrow, hehe, I may change the cover in a few days.
(Then the author thanks the reader for the gifts!!!)
thank you big bosses, memoda 3-
Sunnyshies: Not mentioning the “new” title, I didn’t expect this scene to be this intense. When I was reading this in mtl, I really didn’t think much of this scene. It’s like “puff” and they were done. Only at this time did I know that there was too much going on. Well, what stand out in this chapter was the fact that Xiao Ziyang didn’t left his girlfriend. You know, I was expecting him to leave like everybody else when I first read the scene.
Speaking of this novel’s world building and power system, they were quite interesting. Actually the author can write an upgrade flow novel for this, but I don’t think its the author’s forte. The author liked “mc strong from the start” characters, but fortunately, the author wrote the extras in the perspective of the past.
Did Lu Liran identify the man behind the beautiful face ?
Also desperately need a cub update!!!
is it already time for the big reveal?! :O can’t wait for the next chapter~
Thank you for the update! Let’s get the family together and check on cub! 🤣❤️🤣❤️
Impressed with Ziao sticking around his girlfriend.
».. his vast metal power vibrated slightly..« mental power
».. if it was blood or something that fell around their mouths.« something else
».. he would have complimented Lu Li Ran’s outfit first.« Lu Liran’s
Aah, did he find out or not? (Good thing that I don’t have to wait for an update atm xD) That scene how KJ burned it down inside of the earth was so cool. And I wonder if that thing is dead now or not. I’m also not sure if there was more than one vine that landed on that planet, too long ago to remember..
Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
hmmm I think they said there are at least 8 devil vines looming in desolate star…
Vaov Ke Meiren forced flames to ground and burned the devil vine? So cool, so strong so perfect.
