Of course, it was because of a foresight. Tu Longjian seemed to have opened his eyes of precognition, and quickly found the core weakness of the Blood Vine based on its characteristics.
She pinched the blood vines open with her bare hands, causing the blood-sucking vine demon's scarlet blood to gush out. Tu Longjian then smeared this blood on Feng Tianhe's back, creating the appearance of an injury.
"Xiao Tian, cooperate with me."
"Xiao Tian?" Not hearing a response, Tu Longjian turned his head in confusion, and their cheeks were close for a moment, bringing a warm sensation.
Feng Tianhe swallowed hard, snapping out of his daze. He quickly took a step back and nodded woodenly and obediently, "Oh, okay."
Under Tu Longjian's control, the Qingfeng Hanshuang Formation transformed into a killing formation capable of crushing everything into dust. In the illusion, rolling lightning surged toward the blood-sucking vine, lashing against it.
The main vine of the vampire demon fearfully dodged the lightning, trembling as if in surrender, as if it were telling Tu Longjian something.
"Xiao Tian, what is it saying?"
"Sister, it says it knows a great treasure and wants you to spare its life."
Tu Longjian curled his lips into a smile, and his voice boomed out from within the illusion of the array, "Submit to me."
The vampire vine demon nodded in a human-like manner. A beast-shaped mark appeared between Feng Tianhe's brows. He used the most domineering contract technique in the Beast Taming Technique to connect the vampire vine demon's consciousness unilaterally with Tu Longjian.
After the contract is signed, Tu Longjian can hear the message that the vampire vine demon wants to convey in his mind.
It said in an extremely obsequious tone, "Master, thank you for sparing my life!"
"There is a great demon sleeping in this ancient spiritual realm. With your swift and decisive actions, Master, you will surely be able to conquer it and form a contract with it."
Tu Longjian asked a few simple questions and learned that the great demon was an ancient divine dragon that had long since disappeared. However, the vine demon's eyes flickered, as if it was hiding something.
"knew."
"Master, aren't you going to tame it?"
Tu Longjian smiled slightly, but his words were extremely cold: "The contract we signed is one of master to die and servant to die. You will die if I decide to do so."
The vampire vine demon was covered in cold sweat, suppressing its resentment and scheming, and fell silent as if trembling in fear.
What kind of person did it encounter?
Seeing her delicate figure surrounded by several cultivators, and smelling her fragrant aroma, it assumed she was some kind of alchemical furnace or cauldron, and must be extremely delicious.
Little did I know that the little white flower was a ferocious beast, and it was defeated just like that!
“Master, if you point east, I would never dare to go west. I will remove the second brother immediately.”
"No, you can be even more aggressive. See that male cultivator in front? Let him practice his courage so he won't run away if he encounters danger in the future."
Upon hearing this, the vampire vine demon, eager to show off, controlled its octopus-like secondary vines to whip Gan Xiuming.
Gan Xiuming was working with the others to attack the vine demon when he suddenly realized that the wildly flailing vines were all aimed at him.
"Ah! My..." Gan Xiuming clutched his buttocks and ran away in all directions.
The vines relentlessly pursued him, leaving him covered in bruises and welts.
The others silently watched Gan Xiuming, who looked like a stray dog. When they heard Tu Longjian's telepathic message that he was alright, they all stopped what they were doing and watched the show.
Gan Xiuming glanced at Tu Longjian, who was trapped in the middle by the vines, and thought to himself, since this vine demon is chasing him so hard, he might as well run away first and come back to save Chunxiang when he has a chance.
He was about to slip away when he was startled by a flute melody.
Tu Longjian called out softly from inside the vine cage, "Xiu Ming, don't be afraid, let me lend you a hand."
She placed the [Wenqing Huxin Flute] to her lips and began to play an inspiring battle melody.
Gan Xiuming's morale suddenly surged, and his already taken steps were turned back as if controlled, forcing him to actively meet the wildly swinging vines. He even felt as if he saw the other party's evil smile.
Gan Xiuming cried in his heart, "No!"
He used to remark that Chunxiang's inspirational battle music was very powerful during battles, often helping him to easily kill monsters.
However, it seems that Chunxiang's skill is not yet proficient. Her inspirational battle song has a side effect: it causes teammates to lose control and frantically attack the enemy as if they are frozen in place.
Gan Xiuming was forced to use all his strength to painfully endure the whipping of the rattan cane, which was like being tortured.
This can't go on! Taking advantage of the brief pause in the flute music, Gan Xiuming suddenly stopped, painfully pulled out a bottle of poison, and sprayed it onto the blood-sucking vine.
This vampire demon has reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm. Ordinary poison powder is useless against it, so I can only take out the precious venom I recently refined.
He gritted his teeth and splashed the poison, his heart filled with mixed emotions and a deep sense of reluctance.
As soon as the poison was sprayed into the air, the vampire vines seemed to anticipate it and suddenly retreated, disappearing back into the forest.
His precious medicinal liquid spilled onto the ground, scorching a patch of innocent medicinal herbs.
Gan Xiuming's eyes widened, a dull pain shooting through his chest. He ran away?
It actually ran away! That damned vine demon, beating him up only wasted a bottle of his poison! And I didn't gain anything at all.
Gan Xiuming, clutching his wounds, trembled as he got up from the ground. Only then did he remember Tu Longjian, who was trapped by vines, and looked over.
The dense vines parted, exposing the two people who were standing very close together, who fell to the ground.
Feng Tianhe's clothes were torn open on the back, and only a blurry patch of blood could be seen.
Tu Longjian's pale face was stained with a bright red blood, making him both pitiful and stunningly beautiful.
Gan Xiuming endured the pain and walked over. Seeing Tu Longjian's miserable state, he felt a pang of guilt. "I'm sorry, Xiangxiang, it's all my fault for dodging and exposing my vulnerability."
Tu Longjian shook his head weakly, looked at him affectionately, and a look of heartache appeared on his face. "I'm fine."
"Xiu Ming, what happened to you? You're covered in injuries."
"I'm glad you're alright. Cough cough, maybe that demonic vine went berserk, it was chasing me and attacking me relentlessly."
"I thought this would be a good way to distract it and keep you safe, so that's how it happened."
"Fortunately, I managed to drive it away in the end."
Gan Xiuming gave a bitter laugh, putting on an air of heroic sacrifice.
The others exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat strange, but they didn't know what to say.
If we ignore Gan Xiuming's panicked state, the fact is that he lured the demon vine away, then he threw out a bottle of poison, and the demon vine escaped.
It seems to actually make sense?
It just feels a bit strange.
"Thank you, Xiuming, it's so good to have you here." Tu Longjian pretended to be grateful, took out a piece of blood vine from his sleeve, and handed it to Gan Xiuming.
"I found this when I was trapped in the demon vine cage. It's an ingredient for refining a blood-restoring pill. I'm giving it to you."
Actually, it was a piece of the vine that broke off on the ground when she crushed the Bloodsucking Vine Demon Lord's vine. It couldn't be put back together, so Tu Longjian picked it up and threw it to Gan Xiuming, just like throwing a leftover bone to a dog.
Gan Xiuming accepted the material with delight. Although it wasn't particularly valuable, at least he had gained something after being beaten up.
Besides, it was Xiangxiang who gave it to him; Xiangxiang is so kind.
Gan Xiuming's favorability +2, current favorability 65.
