9ooo Chapter 217 Demon Vine Silver Thread Grass (Second Update)
The lush forest spans ten square kilometers, with towering trees hundreds of meters tall scattered throughout. Even above the forest sky, hundreds of demonic vines wave their branches, tens to hundreds of meters long, greedily absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
There are such dense demonic vines here!
Dao Yin flashed and shot over, and the originally tangled demonic vines immediately parted to make way for it.
In the heart of this lush forest, there is a thatched hut. There is also a medicinal herb garden where many top-quality and rare herbs can be found.
The silver light stopped, revealing two people: the First Elder and a pale-faced young man named Li Limin. The sudden change of location in the blink of an eye had certainly frightened him.
But the ability to fly is something to be envied.
However, he didn't know why the Grand Elder had brought him here.
The four elders, leading Xu, Xiao, Lin, and Zheng downstairs, were clearly the ancestor who had returned home. Could the Grand Elder's surname be Li? Was he the ancestor of the Li family?
Upon realizing this, Li Limin was extremely excited. The Grand Elder... was he actually the ancestor of the Li family?
Seemingly sensing Li Limin's agitation, the First Elder glanced at him indifferently and said, "You are a descendant of the Li family, so you must have many questions about why I brought you here. However, I can tell you part of it. My surname is not Li. Fifty years ago, among the five surnames, Elder Li was the seventh elder of the Elder Hall. However, ten years ago, the seventh elder encountered danger and perished."
Li Limin's head buzzed, and he was somewhat dumbfounded. His Li family's elder ancestor was actually dead?
The First Elder continued, “Originally, the Seventh Elder would have personally implanted your soul and guided your cultivation, but that's impossible now. However, the Seventh Elder died for everyone, so the Elder Hall has decided that I will personally implant your soul as the representative of the Li family from the outside world, passing on the ‘Electric Wood Vine’ to your descendants. Furthermore, I will return the Seventh Elder’s ‘Lightning Vine’ to the patriarch of your lineage from the outside world. This will fulfill the reward for your bloodline verification here and the Seventh Elder’s entrustment!”
Although the First Elder's words were well-intentioned, Li Limin's mind went blank upon hearing that the Seventh Elder was gone. He was quite shocked and didn't know how much he had taken in.
"Now, you can rest in this thatched hut for the night. This is my 'Cultivation Forest,' where there are many demonic vines, so don't wander off. Tomorrow morning, I will personally implant your soul!"
The elder finished speaking and vanished in a flash.
Anyone who hears "Thunder Vine" will be greatly surprised. Because this "Thunder Vine" is not a lowly spirit-grade demon seed, but a king-grade demon seed! It is the natal demon seed of the Seventh Elder of the Elder Hall, which was promoted from Electric Wood Vine.
But this Electric Vine is no ordinary creature; it's a Spirit-grade Demon Vine! Its attack power is extremely strong. It's considered a top-grade Spirit-grade Demon Species!
In a corner of an ancient wilderness 30,000 miles away, a group of nearly thirty people, after several days of trekking, finally encountered their first demonic vine!
At first, Xu Ming and Lin Hongwu led the team cautiously, trying to identify whether the surrounding plants and trees were demonic creatures. However, after several days, they did not encounter anything unusual and became somewhat disheartened. But unexpectedly, just as they were about to rest, they saw an astonishing sight in the distance.
A kilometer away, a large clump of shimmering silver grass stretched out, seemingly quite graceful. Stunning, the slender blades of grass were forty meters long, and most importantly, they could actually move!
It's enormous, and it's a plant! A demonic vine! A demonic seed!
Everyone's eyes were burning with excitement!
They'd been gone for several days. Although they hadn't encountered any danger along the way, their food and water were running low. They had to gather roots and stems to replenish their fluids, and sometimes, if they were lucky, they might come across a small lake.
But they were really lucky; they didn't encounter any danger!
The ancient wilderness was truly vast. They had been walking for several days and were still on the very edge of this expansive world, without encountering any danger. This might have been a major reason for their safety.
Now that they saw this strange and enormous plant, they realized that demonic vines could be this big. Just a few days ago, the flowers, grasses, and trees were just ordinary plants, although they were thicker and stronger than those outside.
"What grade of demonic vine is this? It's shimmering with silver light!" Lin Hongwu was immediately captivated by the demonic vine in the distance. In his opinion, this demonic vine was already extremely powerful.
These people from the outside world, apart from the five who were taken away by Xuan Qing, had no one to guide them and could only rely on luck. Their lives were naturally not in the elders' eyes; life and death were irrelevant. As long as the most important person from the outside world was present, that was enough.
No one answered Lin Hongwu's question, because no one knew the answer. They only felt that the demonic vines here were incredibly powerful, like animals, able to grow so large, actively extending their branches, and waving them so swiftly.
"I don't know, but this is the first demonic vine we've encountered. It might be an ordinary one? After all, if it were a truly powerful demonic vine, there would probably be many more around. It should be deep within the ancient wasteland, right?" Xu Ming said after thinking for a moment. "Young Master Lin, according to our agreement, this demonic vine we encountered should be yours!"
Lin Hongwu's expression changed, and he looked at the seemingly non-decaying demonic vine with some fear.
Are you suggesting he go up and kill such a huge demonic vine? He'd probably get entangled by it before he even gets close, and then be swallowed whole, like the African spotted flower?
Faced with danger and the temptation of the demonic creature, Lin Hongwu was naturally torn. Give up? Or take the plunge?
"Damn it, let's go for it, let's draw lots!" Lin Hongwu finally decided to take a gamble. If they didn't come into contact with the demonic vine, they would never know how to subdue it. So, this time, with the intention of sacrificing themselves, they chose one person from the Lin family team to give it a try!
Xu Ming was somewhat expectant when he saw that Lin Hongwu had made a decision.
What exactly is the grade of this shimmering silver demonic curtain? What kind of demonic vine is it, and how can it be subdued? At first glance, it seems impossible to even begin.
However, outsiders here aren't fools either. They always manage to come up with some solutions, such as trying to exploit common characteristics of certain plants, even if they don't know if it will work.
Soon, one person was selected from the Lin family's team, but it was not Lin Hongwu; it was a guard.
"Be careful!" Lin Hongwu and the captain of the Lin family's guards nodded to him.
Automatic rifles, pistols, sharp daggers, and even grenades and spray spray—all brought in from outside. The spray spray proved quite effective in the battle against the monster. *Thud*, he held firm to his belief. He tried to calm himself, then strode towards the demonic vine. If he succeeded, the demonic seed would be his; if he failed…
Sensing the approaching danger, the demonic vines instantly shifted, their hundreds of silver blades converging on the man. They shot forth with deadly, straight lines, like sharp thorns!
Twenty meters away! The person didn't move, and the demonic vine didn't attack either.
"Young Master Lin, this demonic vine doesn't seem to move?" he reported to Lin Hongwu. Upon closer inspection, each branch of the vine appeared to be a foot-wide blade of grass, silver in color and without thorns. It was very smooth, giving an illusion. How could this silver demonic vine attack? By coiling around?
The first piece of news is very important! Lin Hongwu was delighted to hear it.
"Be careful, try to get closer!"
At a distance of ten meters, the silver grass blades swayed slightly, as if warning the human, but ten meters was not its attack range.
It's just ordinary-grade Silver Thread Grass! Ordinary-grade Demon Vine!
They kept getting closer, five meters, three meters. The pressure was immense. A single blade of grass could probably completely entangle a person. Not only the guards, but also the people in the distance were sweating with tension!
"Two meters away, and there's still no attack! I can see it clearly now, the root is growing on the ground, it's very thick, about 1.5 meters in diameter, and there seems to be a protrusion in the middle of all the branches and leaves!"
The second piece of news! Could it be the location of the demon race?
"Puff puff!" At a distance of one meter, the spray finally came out, a plume of white smoke shooting towards the branches and leaves in front, which quickly contracted. It seemed to be working?
"The spray works, haha!"
"Pfft!" Spraying the medicine, they continued forward.
Just then, Lin Hongwu and his group saw the hundreds of silver branches and leaves suddenly contract and gather, then pounce on the guards at incredible speed—a speed that could rival that of a world champion 100-meter sprinter.
"Watch out!" The person on the other side saw it clearly and immediately shouted a warning, but it was too late. The dozen or so silver threads of grass, like snakes, wrapped around the guards and lifted them into the air.
"This demonic vine is indeed powerful!" the guard cried out in alarm. The grass was wrapped around him so tightly! *Thud!* In his panic, with only one hand free, he gripped the cleaver and slashed at the grass binding him. But after several strikes, he only managed to damage the surface of the grass, a few drops of green sap seeping out. He couldn't cut through it at all!
The demonic vines tightened their grip! He was having difficulty breathing.
It's gone mad!
Boom! Boom!
A dozen or so blades of grass, entangled around the sanitation workers, suddenly slammed down from a height of ten meters.
"It's over," Lin Hongwu exclaimed, his face turning pale as he heard the thumping sound.
Unexpectedly, the demonic vine's entanglement was so terrifying; even worse, it would slam into people after binding them. Once struck, no matter how skillful one was, they were rendered helpless. Stunned and disoriented, death was the only outcome.
"Damn it, we can't get entangled in it! Otherwise, we're doomed!" Xu Ming swallowed hard, his mouth dry, and said.
"Now, it's your turn!" Lin Hongwu took a few deep breaths and said bitterly.
It's the Xu family's turn now.
But only one person died, before even getting close to the demon seed. The grass was fast enough; if you couldn't outrun it, you would be entangled, your internal organs and bones crushed, or you would be smashed to death.
"I know!" Xu Ming said, his expression tightening.
The spray wasn't working, and the machete seemed to have limited effect as well. What other weapons did they have? Guns? Grenades? A direct attack to the groin?
Because, before that team member died, he seemed to have seen the root location, which should be where the demon seed existed.
"How many different types of bullets does each person have left?"
The answer is, very limited, not many!
A hundred kilometers away, another battle was nearing its end. Zhang Guodong witnessed a fight between the Golden Lion Beast and the Silver Thread Vine. More importantly, they had both been badly wounded, leaving the Golden Lion Beast with numerous wounds and immense exhaustion. The Silver Thread Vine was also covered in broken limbs and sap.
It was almost a lose-lose situation!
This delighted Zhang Guodong. Although he didn't know the grade of the demonic vine before him, at least he might finally have a chance to obtain a demonic seed?
The demonic vine's weapon was grass leaves, numbering in the thousands, several times more than the branches and leaves Song Ming and his companions had encountered. Of course, Zhang Guodong was unaware of all this.
Regardless, Zhang Guodong is going to get a bargain this time!
"Hehe, let's drive this big beast away first!"
Zhang Guodong took a single stride, covering thirty meters. He was closing in on both extremes! This speed was faster than the speed of the one-horned golden lion, faster than the speed of the waving branches!
The sudden appearance of a third dangerous creature made the Golden Lion Beast and the Demon Vine feel a great threat. The former roared a warning at Zhang Guodong, while the latter waved its remaining few hundred branches and leaves, seemingly making a last-ditch effort.
"Not bad. After taking those three larger brain beads, I should have broken through to the nineteenth round of the fist technique. I'm moving towards the twentieth round. My speed has increased quite a bit!" Zhang Guodong stopped fifty meters away, feeling the increase in speed with some joy.
But this feeling was interrupted by a roar, which infuriated Zhang Guodong.
"You stinking lion, you're quite big, but you're no match for me!" Zhang Guodong shouted at the one-horned golden lion, not caring whether it understood him or not. "Leave now, and I might spare your life!"
"Roar!" But what the other side returned was a tremendous roar that made Zhang Guodong's ears ring. Enraged!
