Lu Yuan's calm voice came from above.

Chi Luan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lu Yuan hanging on the tree like a monkey.

Why did you get up in the tree?

The vine was covered with countless cocoons of corpses, and just looking at it made her feel horrified. Lu Yuan actually climbed up there; he was incredibly brave!

"Let me check if this vine is really dead," Lu Yuan said casually.

“Its aura has completely disappeared; it must be dead!” Chi Luan said with a smile. “But how exactly did you find it? All these vines look the same; how did you know this tree was the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree?”

“As you said, all the vines here grow the same way, so if we want to find the real attackers, we need to look in different places,” Lu Yuan replied.

"Different places?" Chi Luan asked in return.

“That’s right,” Lu Yuan explained. “These vines are not afraid of our attacks at all, because as long as the host doesn’t die, they can keep regenerating. They don’t care whether they are cut or burned.”

Hearing this, Chi Luan finally realized what was happening.

"But the vine itself is different; it will dodge and hide when threatened. So you had the firebird set the surrounding jungle on fire in order to find the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree?!"

Lu Yuan nodded.

After the firebird set the bushes ablaze, it focused intently on observing its surroundings and soon located the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree hidden there.

"My God! Are you even human?"

Chi Luan was utterly shocked.

Don't think these things sound easy; they are actually very difficult to do.

The jungle was already full of various plants, and the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree could easily sneak away. Moreover, they were in the very center of the fire, where they not only had to endure the high temperature but also the thick smoke.

How difficult it must be to accurately locate the Bloodthirsty Ivy under these conditions!

But Lu Yuan managed to do it!

This courage and composure, as well as the quick thinking to formulate battle plans, all exceeded her expectations!

This is evident.

As long as Lu Yuan can grow up smoothly, he will surely become a regional overlord!

This person is someone you can only befriend, not someone you can antagonize!

"But we two are really strong, we actually killed the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree, which is a Xuanzhen-level demon tree!" After calming down her complicated emotions, Chi Luan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this...

Lu Yuan paused, then said with a forced tone, "You could say that! After all, your Flamebird played a big role in killing the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree, so it can be considered a joint effort between us."

Upon hearing this, Chi Luan put her hands on her hips and questioned, "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"

Lu Yuan shrugged and didn't say anything, but the mocking expression on his face said it all.

Seeing this, Chi Luan puffed out her cheeks in anger, snorted, and turned her head away.

"Hmph! I'm ignoring you!"

With that, she turned her back to Lu Yuan and went to check out other places around her.

Lu Yuan was hoping she would do something else, so he quickly sped up his work.

After finding the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree, he originally intended to have Xiao Yi use the Holy Light of the Cross to finish it off directly.

But he suddenly noticed a flash of light at the top of the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree's trunk, guessing that there might be something good up there. Worried that the Holy Light of the Cross might shatter the treasure, he changed his mind and had Xiao Yi release the Holy Protection Array.

Quickly climbing to the top of the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree, Lu Yuan took out his machete and slashed at the spot where he had seen the flash of light earlier.

really.

Three fist-sized pills lay inside, perfectly intact.

The elixirs formed from monsters of different attributes are also of different colors.

Judging from the size and color of these three, the smallest one should belong to the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree, while the other two were likely obtained from the bodies of monsters it captured, which were killed before they could be absorbed.

The area is covered with trees and vegetation, and the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree, taking advantage of its environment, can bind its prey and carry it away without anyone noticing.

If all these factors are taken into account in the combat level, the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree's actual combat level can reach at least the fifth level of the Profound True Realm, and it's even possible that it could reach the seventh level, surpassing the potential level limit.

Therefore, it's normal for it to kill two monsters of a higher level than itself.

Fortunately, he did not choose to run away, but instead chose to kill him on the spot.

Otherwise, once the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree has absorbed these two spirit pills, it won't be so easy to kill it!

Lu Yuan put away the three spirit pills. Besides the wood-attribute spirit pill from the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree, there was also a fire-attribute one, which corresponded perfectly to the attribute of the Crimson Scale.

Once it wakes up, it can absorb the energy directly, and its strength will increase even further.

"Hey! You haven't finished watching yet?"

After circling around without finding anything, Chi Luan returned to the tree and urged Lu Yuan to hurry up.

"I'm coming down now!"

Lu Yuan climbed down from the tree with satisfaction and ordered the firebird, "Burn this bloodthirsty vine tree to prevent further trouble."

"Bah!"

The firebird immediately spat out a fireball, which burned the Bloodthirsty Vine Tree to ashes.

"Looking at this obedient firebird, I even wonder if it's my contracted beast or yours?"

Chi Luan watched from the side and couldn't help but complain.

Lu Yuan simply smiled at this.

Despite the fact that the Crimson Phoenix has already formed a contract with the Flamebird, the mythological baptism that Lu Yuan performed on it before the contract was already deeply ingrained in its soul and bloodline, coupled with the buff that makes all beasts submit...

To put it dramatically, in the heart of the Flamebird, Lu Yuan's status might be even higher than that of the Crimson Phoenix.

Therefore, when Lu Yuan gave the order, it naturally carried it out without hesitation.

But that's all there is to it.

Under the contract, the Firebird will not carry out commands such as "kill the Crimson Phoenix".

Conversely, if Chi Luan orders the Flame Bird to kill Lu Yuan, the Flame Bird can refuse.

Overall, the mythological baptism and the submission of all beasts are too overpowered.

"There's nothing around here, let's keep going." Lu Yuan picked up his backpack again.

"Even if there were any, they've all been burned." Chi Luan pouted and muttered softly, dissatisfied.

Lu Yuan touched his nose somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

It's a real shame about this jungle, but he was forced into it by circumstances!

Just as the two were preparing to set off again, a five-person squad blocked their way.

"Miss Akari?"

One of them immediately recognized Chi Luan and asked with delight, "I didn't expect Miss Chi to be here too. Could you tell us what just happened here?"
