As night fell, Qing Xuanming and the others watched helplessly as the fog around them grew thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But they didn't dare to light a fire to disperse the fog. The fire was too obvious and would attract some things that were peeping at them in the dark, or even some scary beings.

Zhu Yanci was a little panicked: "Xuanming, are you still there? Why can't I see you?"

"I'm sitting here, I haven't moved, but the fog is so thick and terrifying. I think it's a little unsafe to stay at the edge of the cloud while we're holding the fire. I've got another spirit rope, and you guys should tie it around your waists quickly."

Bai Miaoran found it unusual that no one could be seen in the fog more than a foot away. According to previous investigations, there would definitely not be such thick fog.

Several people tied the spirit rope around their waists one by one and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't act rashly next time. There's nothing we can do now. We can only wait until dawn." Qin Xueming could only remind them to be vigilant.

Darkness is the time for hunting, so they can only call each other every once in a while. Even if they have the cultivation of spiritual masters, they are helpless here.

Because they tried to send out their spiritual power, but it was of no use at all. The spiritual power dissipated directly, or was swallowed by the fog. This foggy forest was really weird.

"Help, is there anyone here?"

"Someone come and save me."

Xuan Shuichen asked the others, "I heard someone calling for help. Do you want to go check it out? Maybe we can get some information."

"Well, let's go and take a look. The main thing is that we are tied together, so we won't get lost." Qing Xuanming thought for a while and agreed.

"Hey! Fellow Daoist, brother, where are you?" Zhu Yanci and the others heard the voice intermittently, confusedly, and couldn't tell the direction.

"Here I am, someone is finally here." The man cried with joy.

They followed the sound and found the person who was calling for help.

When he took out the night pearl and shone it, he found that the man was entangled in vines and blood was dripping from his body.

They realized something was wrong and immediately released their fire spiritual power. In the area illuminated by the fire, they found that they were surrounded by these strange vines.

Zhu Yanci was furious: "Damn it, why didn't you say you were tied up by vines?"

The man felt wronged: "You didn't even ask!!!"

"Okay, Yanci, help cut off his kidneys first and let him down. Besides, now is not the time to worry about this. We have been surrounded. Find a way to break out." Bai Miaoran interrupted Zhu Yanci.

Zhu Yanci took out his magic sword and cut off the vines with one stroke. It took him a while to cut off all the vines that bound the man.

The others were constantly swinging their swords to cut off the demonic vines that were reaching out to them, buying them some time.

"Thank you, fellow Daoists. My name is Zhang Zhuo, and I'm a casual cultivator. If I can escape alive this day, I will definitely fulfill your promise. Of course, this is within my ability."

Zhu Yanci threw a healing pill, a soul-restoring pill, and a blood-replenishing pill to Zhang Zhuo, "We'll talk about this later. You should heal your wounds first."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist." After saying this, Zhang Zhuo quietly swallowed the two pills and began to heal his wounds.

"Do you know what kind of vine this is? It can actually continue to wrap around and absorb people's spiritual energy and flesh and blood."

Hearing Xuan Shuichen's question, Bai Miaoran's mind flashed through a book about demonic plants she had read, and one of the demonic plants in the book was the Demon Blood Demon Vine.

"This is the Demon Blood Vine. I remember reading about it in a book about demonic plants. It's a demonic plant from the demon world. It feeds on the flesh and blood of humans, spirit beasts, and demonic beasts day and night to help it grow.

But when I read that book, it clearly stated that the Demon Blood Vine, because it feeds on flesh and blood, had been exterminated by the demon world. How could there be a Demon Blood Vine here? The Demon Blood Vine has the power to bewitch people, using the illusions it creates to lure people in, and then it will slowly devour them.

"Also, judging by the thickness of this demon blood devil vine, it seems it has been here for at least a hundred years and must have sucked the blood and flesh of many humans and beasts. Its weakness is the tree heart that grows underground.

But the heart of the tree is definitely surrounded by its vines. It will be very difficult to destroy its heart. Since it is a demon plant, it is also a plant. It must be afraid of fire. Use fire to drive it away first. Yanci, you have the fire spirit root, so it depends on you.

"No problem, watch me."

Zhu Yanci first slowly released a little bit of his fire spiritual power to see if he could force the evil vine back.

However, the fact is that this demon blood demon Teng is not afraid of the fire set by Zhu Yanci at all.

Zhu Yanci had no choice but to use one move: "Fire Fills the Sky with Sand."

This trick did have some effect, but it was just some effect. The vines could not be killed at all. After being cut, they would grow back again. They could never be cut off.

Seeing the vines surrounding them, the others were not willing to be outdone. Even Zhang Zhuo, who was recovering from his injuries, started fighting.

"Hurry up and find its weakness. If we continue like this, we will run out of spiritual power. Its weakness should be the place it focuses on protecting. Pay special attention to the place where it is heavily wrapped in vines." Bai Miaoran felt that her spiritual power was constantly decreasing, and immediately stuffed a soul-restoring pill into her.

Time passed by bit by bit. Even though they had the cultivation level of a Spiritual Master, they were still unable to defeat the Demon Blood Vine.

"This demon blood devil vine should be at level six."

The sixth level of demon beasts and spiritual beasts is equivalent to the spiritual emperor level of human cultivators.

The vines of the Demon Blood Demon Vine kept flying towards them, and the spiritual power and the smell of blood made it extremely excited.

Facing its cut vines, it was a little annoyed. After all, the growth of these vines required its strength. If they were cut off, it would be its loss. It could not tolerate it, so it attacked more fiercely.

Zhang Zhuo was hit and bleeding profusely. "Oh no! I don't know what's wrong with this demonic blood vine. Its attacks are getting more and more fierce."

"Found it, I found his weakness." Zhu Yanci shouted excitedly.

"Look at the southwest direction. That should be his tree roots. After my continuous probing of the vines there, not only did they retreat, but there are also many vines that move slightly in that direction, constantly strengthening the defense."

Qing Xuanming and the others looked in the direction Zhu Yanci pointed and found that it was indeed as he said. This made them feel relieved because they had been fighting for a long time.

Not only that, they fought for so long without alarming anyone else, which shows that the sound could not be transmitted. Perhaps the vines were too thick and the sound could not be transmitted.

"You cover me, let me destroy it."

Qing Xuanming nodded: "Okay, go ahead and destroy its heart tree without worry, we're behind you."
