Chapter 49 Weakness

The little rabbit nodded and then hummed twice.

So that's how it is; she knows what to do now.

"Don't worry, I won't let the Thousand-Thread Vine destroy this place."

Since the root of the Thousand-Thread Vine is not above, it must be destroyed; we cannot allow it to generate new vines.

Shen Jue used the Flying Eagle Claw to throw the object upwards, accurately hitting the tree trunk and climbing up the tree.

Upon reaching the designated target location, Shen Jue repeated his previous trick, gradually approaching the spherical object at the top.

She pushed aside any vines that blocked her way.

The space was too narrow, making it difficult to wield the knife. As for the dagger, she had tried it, but it couldn't cut through at all.

However, Shen Jue did not give up. The higher she climbed, the more she tried to use the dagger in her hand to cut the vines.

Then she discovered that the vines were not indestructible.

The newly grown vines have relatively low defense and can still be cut with a dagger.

The closer she got to the sphere, the greater the resistance she encountered, because the speed at which she cut the vines couldn't keep up with the speed at which the sphere produced the vines, which was a form of indirect obstruction.

However, Shen Jue was not worried about this.

What worried her was that the higher she went, the denser the vines became, leaving no gaps for her to get close to the sphere.

Since the dagger can't cut it, why not try burning it?

Fire is the nemesis of all plants; I wonder if the same principle applies here.

Shen Jue took out a torch, lit it, and the flames on the torch burned fiercely. She placed the torch under the vines.

Soon, the vines sensed the danger and began to retract.

It seems to be useful.

So Shen Jue had no choice but to hold up the torch with one hand and occasionally use the other hand to grab the rope of the Flying Eagle Claw as he climbed up.

Fortunately, her physical condition improved significantly recently, which allows her to endure such exertion.

During the climb, Shen Jue carefully controlled the direction of the torch, trying his best to prevent the flames from burning the leaves and branches of the towering ancient tree.

The little rabbit under the tree stared intently at Shen Jue without blinking.

It knew that the human's current behavior was not suitable for disturbance.

I don't know if this human will succeed. I hope they don't burn the tree down, or it won't be able to go home.

The little rabbit's worries were unnecessary, even completely unfounded; Shen Jue was even more cautious than it.

Playing with fire here is dangerous; if she accidentally sets it on fire, she won't fare well either.

Shen Jue moved upwards little by little, and at this moment the vines blocking the way finally revealed the top of the eagle claw rope.

Shen Jue lightly tapped the inside of the wristband strapped to his arm, and his entire body instantly rose more than a meter.

This is much faster than climbing.

Previously, the rope's endpoint was covered by newly grown vines before the rope had even been placed in the correct spot and before any action could be taken.

Now, with the torch and the speed of the Flying Eagle Claw, it won't be long before she can reach the top sphere.

She is now about twenty meters away from the top.

With torches illuminating the way, she could rise at least one meter each time.

Now, the curled-up vines seemed to have nowhere to go, twisting together. Not long after, Shen Jue saw with his own eyes that these curled-up vines, with a snap, fell off on their own.

She wasn't mistaken. The vines that she couldn't cut with a knife or dagger before, when rolled into an area the size of a basketball, snapped with a snap.

The rattan balls fell like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Shen Jue has excellent hearing; she clearly heard the sound of the rattan ball hitting the ground.

Fortunately, the little rabbit wasn't hit.

She didn't want anything to go wrong with the rabbit, after all, she still didn't understand why the prompt was asking her to help the rabbit solve its problem.

Generally speaking, notification sounds don't occur without a reason.

It's possible that she received some kind of reward after helping the rabbit solve its problem.

Shen Jue generally refers to these kinds of notification sounds as "adventure notifications".

The last time this notification sound appeared, she successfully formed a contract with Qingfeng.

Therefore, she deduced that unless she wasn't working hard enough, the prompts wouldn't alert her to tasks she couldn't complete.

Just to figure this out, it's worth helping the little rabbit.

Since the rattan ball fell, the little rabbit knew to dodge and avoid being hit.

Looking at the large space left above, Shen Jue finally revealed a smile.

Seize the opportunity and ride the wave.
