Chapter 176 Not everything can be done by men

Sheng Ran looked up and saw Sheng Jieyue standing on a rock not far away.

At this moment, she has revealed her half-beast form, her snow-white peacock wings are fully stretched out, and the eye-shaped markings on her tail feathers are shining in the scattered sunlight shining through the thick fog.

He should have looked holy and noble, but a faint black aura lingered around him.

The black air rolled like a living thing, with a few rice-sized poisonous insects entangled in it, making a slight "sizzling" sound as they crawled - the breath on the runes on the ground was exactly the same, cold and sticky.

"You really practiced the evil magic of the Poison Sect." Sheng Ran looked at her in disbelief, with a strange look in his eyes.

Her heart ached slightly, it was just this body's instinctive reaction.

After all, they are blood relatives. As her sister, the original owner must be very uncomfortable if she saw Sheng Jieyue's current appearance.

Sheng Ran tightened her grip on the dagger, her knuckles turning white. This lion-tooth dagger was a birthday gift from Ling Rui, and she hadn't expected it to be used so soon.

Although the blade of this dagger is sharp, it is only a conventional weapon after all. It may not be useful against poisonous insects and evil spells.

"So what?" Sheng Jieyue laughed crazily, her tail feathers flapping violently, stirring up a gust of wind with a fishy smell.

The black energy quickly condensed in her palm, transforming into the shape of an inch-long poisonous insect. "To gain power, let alone witchcraft, I'm willing to sacrifice the entire population of the west city!"

She raised her hand and waved, and a black gas resembling a poisonous insect rushed towards Sheng Ran.

Wherever it passed, the weeds on the roadside instantly withered and turned black, and even the hard bark of the trees began to show signs of mold.

"Prepare to die! This time, no one can save you!"

Sheng Ran immediately dodged to the side, and the black gas flew past her shoulder and hit the tree trunk behind her heavily.

With a "hiss", a hole as big as a bowl was instantly corroded in the tree trunk. Black juice flowed down the wall of the hole, emitting a pungent stench.

She looked at the withered and blackened trees, and her heart sank to the bottom.

Sheng Jieyue's evil magic was even more powerful than she had imagined.

What made her even more anxious was that she could occasionally hear the hissing of poisonous insects in the thick fog, but she could not hear the voices of the beastmen.

They were led away by the poisonous insects, and it is unknown whether they will encounter danger.

"Why aren't you hiding anymore?" Sheng Jieyue's voice was filled with sarcasm. "Aren't you very good at pretending? Don't you rely on those beastly husbands for support? Now that they're gone, you're just a useless bitch at the mercy of others!"

Two black auras attacked from the left and right. Sheng Ran bent down and rolled, avoiding the attack while swinging his knife at one of the black auras.

The blade pierced through the black air, but it was like cutting cotton, with no effect. The black air just paused and continued to pounce on her.

The fog grew thicker, visibility was less than ten feet, and the black air on the runes on the ground grew stronger, gradually spreading over the ankles and bringing a biting chill.

Sheng Jieyue's laughter echoed in the fog, with a strange reverberation, and it was impossible to tell which direction it was coming from.

"It's useless!" Sheng Jieyue's voice came closer and farther. "The Poison Sect's bone-eating Gu can't harm ordinary creatures! You don't have any special abilities, and you don't have a beast form. In this world of beasts, without the protection of a man, you don't even have the right to live!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several tiny living insects crawled out from the thick fog and climbed up Sheng Ran's trouser legs.

She immediately swung her knife to cut it off, but the insect instantly split into two after falling to the ground and crawled even faster.

These poisonous insects came back to life, and the more they were killed, the more they appeared, and soon they surrounded her in a circle.

Sheng Ran gritted her teeth. Although she had no special abilities, she relied on her reaction and instinct to swing the dagger and kill the crawling poisonous insects.

But the poisonous insects were like an endless tide. Red marks appeared on her arms where the insects had crawled, and they were itchy and painful.

Sweat dripped down her forehead, blurring her vision. Her breathing became increasingly rapid, but she never took a single step back.

"Hahaha! Look at how miserable you are!" Sheng Jieyue's laughter became increasingly shrill. "This is what happens when you go against me! You think you can steal my support? Steal my glory? Dream on!"

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook slightly.

The soil under Sheng Ran's feet loosened, and several green vines suddenly broke out of the ground and wrapped around her.

The vines carried the scent of damp earth and grew very fast, reaching her waist in an instant.

Sheng Jieyue widened her eyes, with an even more excited glint in her eyes.

It must be her halo as the protagonist that is taking effect. Even the plants in the sacred mountain are helping her to get rid of Sheng Ran. She, the cannon fodder, is about to be strangled to death!

"God bless you!" Sheng Jieyue was proud, flapping her tail feathers vigorously. "Danxue Mountain is indeed a sacred mountain! People like you who blaspheme the gods and pretend to be a messenger of God should be punished!"

But the next second, Sheng Jieyue's smile froze on her face.

The vines did not strangle Sheng Ran, but instead quickly entangled with each other, forming a dense green barrier around her.

As soon as the poisonous insect crawling towards Sheng Ran touched the vine, it was pierced by the fine thorns on the vine and instantly turned into a pool of black water.

Immediately afterwards, more vines broke out of the ground from all sides, lashing at the black air and living poison in the air like flexible whips.

Every whip was accompanied by a fierce gust of wind. Those seemingly inexhaustible poisonous insects and black air dissipated instantly after touching the vines, without even leaving a trace.

"What...what's going on?" Sheng Jieyue's voice trembled, and she could no longer maintain her crazy smile. "This is impossible! You have a plant-type beast husband with you? Where is he?!"

She looked around, and apart from the sound of the wind, there was no other sign of orcs in the thick fog.

Plant-type beastmen are extremely rare in the beast world, and most of them can only heal plants and promote the growth of crops. They simply do not have such fierce attack capabilities - this is completely contrary to common sense!

Sheng Ran was also stunned.

She looked at the green barrier around her, and her fingertips subconsciously touched the vines. The vines actually rubbed her fingertips gently, bringing a gentle warmth.

It's working again. What kind of ability does she have?

[Host, I sense that the energy within you has completely stabilized! Come and see if you can control these plants independently!]

In the thick fog, Sheng Ran slowly stood up and loosened the hand holding the dagger slightly.

Then he waved his hand suddenly, as if giving an order, and the vines really moved forward with his movement, quickly and powerfully.

Sheng Ran raised the corners of her lips unconsciously. It really works!

She looked forward, her gaze penetrating the mist and falling on Sheng Jieyue's shocked face.

Sheng Ran's voice was not loud, but it was filled with unprecedented determination, like a sharp sword, piercing Sheng Jieyue's delusion: "Sheng Jieyue, have you forgotten - not everything needs to be done by a man."

These words were like thunder, exploding in Sheng Jieyue's ears. She suddenly opened her eyes wide, looked at Sheng Ran in disbelief, and then looked at the vines that were still growing.

Could it be that these are not the abilities of the plant-type beast husband, but... Sheng Ran's own?

But how could a useless woman with no beast form and no special powers possibly control plants?
