The shrill screams echoed in the cave.
Xue Kong poked a bloody hole in each of Ling Yunzhi's limb joints, and blood oozed out, staining his clothes red.
Unable to continue standing, Ling Yunzhi fell to the ground and hit his head again.
Xue Kong hurriedly walked over and picked him up: "Don't waste the spiritual blood, otherwise the Earth Sleeping Vine won't absorb enough, and then it won't be able to produce the Earth Sleeping Fruit."
Hearing Xue Kong's shameless words, Ling Yunzhi was sweating profusely and was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
He immediately started cursing, "You heartless villain! Even if I die and go to Hell, I will curse you day and night to have a miserable death!"
"If that day really comes, I will chase you to the Nine Nether Hell and kill you once again." Xue Kong's expression remained calm, and he was not angered by Ling Yunzhi at all.
Then he flicked it lightly, and Ling Yunzhi in his hand flew into the passage from Xue Kong's hand like an object.
A large amount of blood flowed out from the bloody holes in the limbs and splashed out.
The spiritual blood dripped onto the dormant Earth-Sleeping Vine and was immediately absorbed and penetrated into it.
The next second, the sleeping vines in the passage recovered from their slumbering state and came back to life, as if "rain has finally come after a long drought."
The branches of the sleeping vines coiled like snake heads, following the fragrant scent of the spiritual blood and suddenly piercing into Ling Yunzhi's body.
"Ah!!" Ling Yunzhi screamed in pain as countless ground vines pierced his body and hung him high.
"Xue Kong! You have a vicious heart and betray our friendship. I curse you to die a miserable death!!"
"If I hadn't taken the initiative to find you in the Sky Poison Sect and brought you to the stone pillar to practice, how could you have practiced so quickly!"
"I look up to you, I regard you as a brother, I regard you as a close friend, and yet you treat me like this!!"
Except for his head, Ling Yunzhi's body below the neck was pierced by the earth-sleeping vines all over, all of which were madly sucking his blood.
However, apart from a slight pain at the beginning, Ling Yunzhi gradually felt no pain.
I don’t know if it’s because of the massive loss of blood, the senses gradually lost their function, or if it’s just how it should be when being sucked by the Earth Sleeping Vine.
"Ling Yunzhi, actually, I have always regarded you as a close friend."
Xue Kong said with great emotion: "That's why I helped you so many times before, and even gave you my precious cave for cultivation. Doesn't this express my sincerity?"
"But... now I have a need and need your help. As a close friend, are you going to remain indifferent and turn a blind eye?"
As he spoke, Xue Kong suddenly became serious: "When you were in need, I helped you. Now I am in need. If you don't help me..."
"Then you are not my Xue Kong's best friend!"
"In that case, I will have no more psychological burden to use you to feed the sleeping vines."
puff.
Ling Yunzhi finally couldn't catch his breath, and was forced by Xue Qi to spit out a cloud of blood, and his breath suddenly weakened.
The dark figure in the sight stood there quietly, with a calm gaze, as if admiring his own masterpiece.
Ling Yunzhi cried, with two lines of tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
She sobbed, "I don't want to die. I don't want to die so early..."
"I haven't found a dual cultivation partner yet, haven't achieved the accomplishments I dreamed of, and haven't made my friends and family proud of me. I didn't abandon the righteous path and join the Demon Sect just to feed the demon flowers with my spiritual blood."
"Brother Xue, please let me go. I will capture other cultivators for you and have them replace me."
Xue Kong on the opposite side was still standing there, even with a faint smile on his face, and was completely unmoved by Ling Yunzhi's pleas for mercy and insults.
"Please, I feel like I'm losing all feeling..."
"Please, Senior Brother Xue, since I'm the only one who hasn't mocked you before, please spare my worthless life. I really don't want to die..."
“Wuwuwu…”
Ling Yunzhi, a tall and strong man, burst into tears in despair.
Perhaps what is most frightening is not death itself, but the process of moving towards death step by step.
This is tormenting and painful, and it is unbearable for ordinary people.
"Since you gave your life for me, I can tell you a secret." Xue Kong suddenly spoke and said this.
"Behind this Earth Demon Valley, there is a city called Guanglan City. From Guanglan City, you can reach the Earth Demon Island. The real treasure is only on this Earth Demon Island."
"But..." Xue Kong smiled slightly, "All cultivators below the late stage of foundation building will die on the Demon Island."
"Your cultivation is low, and you will die in the end."
"Since the outcome of death cannot be changed, if you can create some value before you die and provide me with assistance, why would you be unwilling to do so?"
"Best friends are supposed to sacrifice for each other and achieve each other, aren't they?"
Ling Yunzhi had thought about Xue Kong's strength and deep scheming, and his cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness, but this was the first time he saw Xue Kong's shamelessness.
He used other people's lives as stepping stones and yet he could still speak so righteously.
He got angry again.
Even more desperate.
So in the short life that followed, he no longer begged for mercy, but instead launched a violent attack on Xue Kong with the foulest words.
Xue Kong listened to all the insults and attacks and laughed heartily: "It will take some time for the Earth Sleeping Vine to bear fruit. You just stay in this dark cave and quietly welcome the arrival of death."
After saying that, Xue Kong turned around and walked to the body of the black toad.
Generally, there are useful things in the bodies of monsters, but this black toad is an exception. Its body is full of waste and there is nothing useful.
However, Xue Kong still waved his sleeves and put the black toad's body into the storage bag.
Then, he came to Ling Yunzhi again, ignored his curses and insults, pondered for a moment, raised his right hand, and once again used "New Sprouts from the Wasteland".
The ground cracked and "New Sprouts in the Wasteland" fell from Xue Kong's palm.
Finally hidden in the earth.
The [Dead Tree Comes to Life] technique is different from ordinary techniques. Starting from "New Sprouts Grow in the Wasteland", it is a growth-type spell, changing its form at each stage.
Although upgrading to the next stage is related to Xue Kong's active practice.
But more often than not, "new sprouts sprout from the wasteland" absorb vitality and grow on their own.
"In case someone gets there first, this killer move is hidden here." Xue Kong murmured, and then without stopping, he walked out of the cave.
The interior of the cave gradually became dark again, with only Ling Yunzhi's increasingly weak voice still blaming and cursing.
Outside the cave, Xue Kong looked around.
All the vines outside the cave entrance were destroyed by Xue Kong and could not be restored to their original state.
It is possible to use a huge rock or move a big tree to slightly hide the entrance of the cave, but there will still be some flaws. Xue Kong thought about it seriously and finally gave up the attempt to cover up his mistake.
Let the cave entrance be exposed.
Xue Kong raised his head, identified the direction, and moved away from here.
