The prickly gourd didn't care about its little follower's feelings. When it first came to its owner's side, it was just as unreasonable, but after being taught a few lessons, it became obedient.
Yan Zi ignored her and continued her frantic collection.
The prickly gourd stuffed all the pieces she had cut down into its stomach to digest them.
Experience points also started to skyrocket!
Yan Zi continued sweeping and soon reached the very center of the boss monster.
At this moment, red fingers were intertwined above, and a lot of red smoke was floating around, making it look sinister.
As soon as Cigua arrived, he felt a strong smell of blood tea, and his heart felt even more uncomfortable.
"Master, these red mists are the painful cries of the wronged!"
Yan Zi raised an eyebrow, somewhat not understanding the meaning of those words.
A-Jiao immediately perked up and ran to them to explain: "The painful cries of the wronged mean that these people were tortured to death in their previous lives, so their souls are still wandering in the human world and cannot be reincarnated smoothly."
After hearing this, Yan Zi felt a chill run down her spine. This wasn't just a disguised form of hurting and saddening her, it was going to damage her mental well-being as well...
Her sharp eyes swept over the leader monster.
"Everyone get ready, we must take down this big guy today."
After Yan Zi finished speaking, she shot an arrow at the tree trunk, but it only reduced its health by ten points.
【Sarcandra glabra (d)】
Strength: 100, Speed: 100, Spirit: 60
[Skill 1 - Thorn Strike: A charge attack towards a target, where vines imbue the target with energy, creating a sharp, piercing effect. Every three attacks can trigger a critical hit, with a critical hit rate as high as 50%.]
2. Its trunk possesses a certain ability to devour. Once you enter its range and are drawn in by its power, you will lose your senses and your soul will be torn apart. Once devoured, the vines will inherit its power.
【experience:\/】
After looking at her new panel, Yan Zi couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.
This boss monster's progress is far too fast.
She hadn't come to check on things for only two days, and the other party's progress had already been like a rocket.
Yan Zi almost lost her composure.
If this leader monster were to actually go out, I'm afraid everyone in the entire area would die.
She didn't believe that the leader monster couldn't leave this place; it was just too lazy to move, so it had stayed put.
It's also possible that this area is more suitable for him to grow and expand, so he hasn't evolved legs to migrate yet. If he continues to develop like this and grows to another stage, everyone will probably become his nourishment.
Instead of cutting aimlessly, Yan Zi began to slowly advance from the outside in.
She even took a moment to check on the condition of the prickly melon!
It would have been better if it hadn't looked, because once it did, its experience points started to increase rapidly.
The experience points, which had been hovering around 2000, are now trending upwards, approaching 3000!
Yan Zi silently asked in her heart, "Thorn Gourd, how are you feeling now? Can you continue to devour these things?"
The prickly gourd's eyes glowed red, and the whole plant was incredibly excited.
It originally thought that these plant roots would be somewhat beneficial to it and wanted to eat them as a supplement, but it never expected that eating them would actually have such a great improvement on its body.
The most obvious thing is that its experience points are constantly increasing, much faster than when it uses skills to attack other monsters.
While killing regular monsters can also increase experience, it's only a small amount. Boss monsters are different; they carry all sorts of treasures!
Although these roots are poisonous and some are even mixed with dirty blood, coincidentally, it is a plant with healing abilities.
With this ability, it can benefit from any root system, as it needs to absorb clean energy and can purify away impurities.
The prickly melon excitedly shouted in its mind, "Master, these vines are all useful to me. If I haven't eaten them yet, please put them in my backpack and store them so I can digest them slowly."
After saying that, Cigua continued to eat without looking up.
Yan Zi breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
If that's the case, then I'll go all out!
Yan Zi stared intently at the tangled roots all around her. The further she went in, the more she saw several strings of people hanging from each root.
She moves incredibly fast, and wherever she goes, she cuts everything in her path, leaving only the roots that never touched a human body.
They cut through everything in their path, fighting their way to the very end!
As soon as Yan Zi approached the deepest part, she sensed a dark and gloomy force enveloping her.
A-Jiao swallowed hard: "This power is a bit strange. It doesn't seem like something a boss monster could create, does it?"
Yan Zi frowned. "You know about the Boss Monster?"
A-Jiao nodded, "I've dug holes all over this desert region. There's no area I haven't been to. I even know a few of the boss monsters. Although they are also burdened with sins, they are basically in accordance with the laws of nature. I have never encountered such behavior of corrupting a large number of the born beings..."
Yan Zi: "Don't you elite monsters also torture and kill humans?"
Ah Jiao nodded and then shook his head.
"Our relationship with humans is one of mutual plundering of each other's resources, so it's normal for us to fight and kill each other. But the way this kind of leader monster does it is a bit strange. It could kill directly, but it chose to use this torture method, which is really not right."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zi raised an eyebrow. Could it be that these strange creatures also harbor secrets unknown to others?
Yan Zi: "Is this kind of behavior normal?"
After hesitating for a moment, A-Jiao said, "It's normal for us monsters to tear each other apart and die, but this guy seems to have devoured all his fellow monsters and then turned around and sacrificed other humans..."
Yan Zi was a little confused. Since they were all leader monsters, it shouldn't be surprising that they would do such a thing, right?
A-Jiao's eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment: "This behavior is against common sense! It does not conform to the iron law of survival for all races! If it is exiled, it will become a monster despised by all races, including its own race, and it will never be able to hold its head up again."
Yan Zi: "For what it did, it deserves to be despised."
Ah Jiao nodded, looking worried, and said, "You'd better be careful. That guy is definitely up to no good and might want to hold you responsible!"
Yan Zi was somewhat confused. Could cause and effect be transferred?
Before she could react, the guy who had been silent all along suddenly started to tremble violently.
Her first instinct was to run away!
But the vines that entwined around her seemed to understand her meaning, and actually formed a cage that firmly fixed her within a small space!
Yan Zi: "It seems you guessed right!"
A-Jiao's face instantly tightened, and he shrank his head into his turtle shell, not knowing what to say. This was definitely an evil spell, but he didn't know how to break it!
