Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1333 - 14: Yin Xiu’s Campaign Chronicle, Two Rare Treasures, the Might of the Cloud-climbing Vine! (5)
A massive collision force came from the tentacle, with a red mist emanating from it. Zhao Xing instinctively held his breath, yet his qi-blood continued to surge vigorously, a wave of bloodthirsty slaughter crashing straight into his mind.
"Bang!"
Zhao Xing stepped on Cloud Step, activating the Span of a Step to the Horizon, his entire being exploded into mist.
He first evaded the impact of this bloodthirsty slaughter and then slipped through the arch-like encirclement formed by eighteen tentacles.
"Bang!"
The tentacles seemed to have countless dense tiny tendrils, in the shape of blood-red dragons, rushing towards Zhao Xing.
It had its way of dealing with big opponents, and tricks for smaller ones!
"Death Replacement Grass Man!"
In the very moment of being surrounded, Zhao Xing completed a rule jump.
In the next second, a grassman avatar was crushed and then swept underground by the hemispherical bloody barrier formed by the eighteen tentacles.
At a safe enough distance, Zhao Xing looked down from above.
He saw eighteen faint red vines slowly retracting into the ground, then the pit on the ground was covered with soil again, as if employing the Geographical Advantage Skill.
"Phew, almost botched it..."
Right now, this vine was one of the Dragon Court's botanical rarities, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine!
The Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine lurked in the earth veins, preying on the Dragon Clan. It was the one that just attacked Zhao Xing.
"What a Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine, I fear its spiritual wisdom is about to awaken."
Awakening spiritual wisdom usually requires the Ascension Realm, but in extreme cases, plants like the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine can have autonomous consciousness even if not in the Ascension Realm.
It had devoured countless powerful dragons, retaining their consciousness, forming a collective consciousness within the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine.
Strictly speaking, this isn't true enlightenment. It's more like the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine is possessed by numerous residual souls. However, these souls have already merged with the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine, becoming inseparable.
"Damn, to be outsmarted by a vine, what a disgrace if word got out."
Zhao Xing initially felt the thrill, followed by anger.
"Spent four years lurking here, and it spent four years waiting for me?"
"Indeed, it is highly sensitive to the breath of the Dragon Clan."
"I fear I've long been within its sensing range, it concealed its presence in advance. My Soul Heavenly Vision can clearly see the surface but not penetrate underground, at least not through its camouflage."
"Let me see how strong you are!"
"Arise!"
From within Zhao Xing, numerous avatars flew out, then rooted themselves underground.
The Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine favored feasting on dragons, but coexisted harmoniously with other plant life. Zhao Xing's avatars had no blood and flesh fluctuations, so they successfully drilled underground.
"Escape!"
Zhao Xing deployed the top-tier Xuantu Skill, his Escape Technique digging three thousand meters underground, yet he still didn't see the rootstock of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine.
Once at nine thousand meters down, an invisible rule seemed to block Zhao Xing's avatars from exploring further.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A red wave flowed through the earth veins, wiping out most of Zhao Xing's weaker avatars, but three of the strongest managed to conceal themselves.
"Found you!" Zhao Xing immediately escaped in the direction of the attack.
After traversing a thousand miles underground, a violent roar suddenly emerged.
"Roar!"
Zhao Xing's three avatars almost lost their footing.
"Wow, truly a Fake Dao Establishment Realm. This Dragon Roar even conveyed its intention."
What does it mean? Similar to a dragon's 'get lost' or 'scram'.
"Alright, alright, you are quite insane. I like you even more now."
The more powerful the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine, the happier Zhao Xing was.
"The Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine preys on dragons, severely restraining the Dragon Clan, having even hunted a Dragon Emperor according to records!" Zhao Xing had read many ancient records in Dragon Emperor Jie's palace.
One record mentioned a Dragon Emperor who fell under the attack of a Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine.
But the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine also disappeared with the end of the ancient era.
Dragon Emperor Jie had not seen one with his own eyes either.
"Even though such records exist in ancient times, it is enough to prove the strength of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine."
"Collect!"
Upon confirming the location with his avatars, Zhao Xing immediately recalled them.
"Buzz~"
A Pure Essence Projection unfolded, with a large basket appearing in the air.
Old rules, if unable to subdue it, then seek Mo Yun's Cloud-climbing Vine!
"Both are from the vine realm, can the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine possibly be stronger than the void seed? Big brother, go forth, suppress it!"
Zhao Xing poured a large amount of Spiritual Liquid into the basket, then lobbed it towards the main root direction of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Vine. He then quickly retreated to a safe distance.
