Chapter 101 Soul Devouring Flower Vine
From Leng Yue's perspective, Ning Xuan walked in the colorful light, with golden light and shadow outlining her slender figure. Her black hair fluttered behind her shoulders, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes were like cold stars. When her black wide sleeves were lifted by the mountain breeze, the red flower branches wrapped around her wrists were revealed.
She flicked her hand, and the entangled red branches fell to the ground. After landing, the petite red seedling suddenly grew rapidly, and in a short while it grew to more than ten meters high. The black and red vines were twisted like dragons, covered with black and red patterns, and extremely thick and huge. Each branch was like a snake spitting out its tongue. The trunk was as thick as an adult man's leg, and there was an inverted crescent-shaped poisonous stinger at the top of the fork.
The black lines on the surface of the vine moved strangely, and actually condensed into ghost faces at the top. When this ghost-faced red vine fully stretched out, the entire mountain wall was shrouded in the scarlet mist it spewed.
The Soul Devouring Flower let out a sharp cry, and seven giant blue flowers bloomed at the same time. The thorns like ice spikes shot out from the stamens, but the moment they touched the red vines, they were corroded into green smoke by the surging red mist. The ghost-faced red vines threw out thorny vines, which spun at high speed and hit the stamens. The Soul Devouring Flower did not dare to resist, and dodged. The vines hit the mountain, and the rocks collapsed and sparks flew everywhere.
“Ka-la-la—”
The three thickest vines entangled the main stem of the Soul Devouring Flower like giant pythons. When the barbs penetrated deeply into the flower stem, dark green venom was madly infused along the meridians. The dark blue petals turned black and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, but more branches were coming out from the ground, trying to wrap around Ning Xuan's ankles.
Ning Xuan's skirt, embroidered with gold thread, moved without wind, and a few blood beads condensed from her fingertips and bounced towards the vines. The ghost-faced red vine suddenly split into hundreds of thin branches, and blood-red ghost faces bloomed on each branch, entangled with the branches of the Soul Devouring Flower, and soon forced the Soul Devouring Flower to retreat step by step. There were scorched marks on the rock wall, and the air waves raised by the fight between the two demon plants forced Leng Yue to retreat step by step.
Seeing that it could not win, the Soul-Devouring Flower immediately retreated into the crack in the ground. The Ghost-Faced Red Vine took advantage of the situation and pursued it. After a moment, a red mist suddenly spurted out from the crack in the ground, and a sweet fragrance emanated from it.
"Oh no, Miss. This red mist is emitted by the Soul Devouring Flower's flower core. The Soul Devouring Flower is going to self-destruct." Leng Yue was surprised at first after smelling the fragrance, and then he became obviously panicked. He never expected that Ning Xuan could force the Soul Devouring Flower to the point of self-destruction.
Before he finished speaking, the trees thirty meters away collapsed. The thick trunks were shredded by the air waves rushing out from the ground before they even touched the ground. After coming into contact with the red mist, they instantly crystallized.
Ning Xuan also sensed that the air was filled with violent and unstable energy. A dull rumbling sound was heard from the ground. Lin Mo grabbed Ning Xuan's waist and summoned his companion spirit, the white tiger, to rise from the ground. A series of loud noises exploded from deep in the earth, as if thousands of drums were beating in the center of the earth.
Dozens of black and red vines broke through the ground, dyeing the sky black and red.
Ning Xuan and the Ghost-faced Red Vine were connected in spirit. She could feel the vine's mixed emotions of fear and excitement. While it sensed the danger, it also seemed to sense a great opportunity.
"Master, the flower core exploded, and the energy within dozens of miles was stirred up! It's too dangerous here, I have to take you away." Lin Mo's voice was torn into pieces by the strong wind caused by the energy riot. Ning Xuan did not answer, but just silently hugged his waist.
The white tiger raised its head and roared, the golden pattern on its forehead shone brightly. Lin Mo drew a semicircle in the air, forming a light blue barrier, the innate skill of the blue flame white tiger, the king's protection.
When Lin Mo's mental power was at its peak at the SS level, the barrier guarded by the king was pure blue, and the range of the barrier could cover dozens of miles away. At this time, it was suppressed to the B level by the rules of the secret realm, and the range and strength of the barrier were also compressed dozens of times.
The sound of the ground cracking became more and more frequent, and the whole valley was like torn cloth. A terrifying shattering sound came from deep in the earth veins. The land within a radius of ten miles collapsed, and the area covered by the red fog became a crystal. The stirred energy turbulence, accompanied by high temperature and strong wind, crashed into the protective barrier. Lin Mo was affected, and blood came out from the corners of his lips.
Lin Mo maintained the protective barrier, standing in front of Ning Xuan, dodging and moving in the criss-crossing energy turbulence.
Ning Xuan smelled the sweet aroma again, and she caught a glimpse of the countless black and red vines that were broken in the energy explosion and were slithering in the cracks below like snakes.
Those vines devoured the red mist that overflowed from the cracks in the ground, repaired their broken parts, and grew new branches and leaves.
Ning Xuan felt a sudden pain in her palm. The seeds of the ghost-faced red vine were glowing. The broken vines in the cracks in the ground were reconnected. Thousands of vine debris were reorganizing, and the black and red skin fell off, revealing the new veins inside.
Ning Xuan was shocked to find that the vine in her palm had extended thousands of black threads and pierced into her meridians. The vine threads were absorbing energy from her body and at the same time returning some red energy to her.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Lin Mo saw Ning Xuan's pale face and looked at her worriedly.
Ning Xuan showed him the vine seeds in her palm.
"It is borrowing your energy to rebuild its foundation! Master, this is very dangerous." Although Lin Mo's level was suppressed, he still had vision and perception. He noticed the changes in the energy around Ning Xuan and said to her worriedly.
Lin Mo had a deep impression of the strange plant in Ning Xuan's body. When he first met Ning Xuan, she was lying wrapped in black and red vines. Later, the vines suddenly disappeared. He thought that Ning Xuan was parasitized by the strange plant. As a result, no abnormalities were detected at the testing center, so he was relieved.
After coming to Ning Xuan, he saw that Ning Xuan used vines when refining medicine. These vines were like right-hand men, able to do things according to Ning Xuan's instructions. They could not only help Ning Xuan refine medicine, but also help her kidnap people and fight.
However, this strange plant is now absorbing Ning Xuan’s energy.
Ning Xuan patted Lin Mo on the shoulder to reassure him, then closed her eyes and sat cross-legged on the white tiger's back, practicing the "Spirit Induction Sutra" to refine the red energy transmitted by the vines bit by bit. Although the red energies were violent, they were very pure. As long as she refined a little bit, she would be able to make up for her lost energy.
In the Shura Field where an energy riot was triggered, a closed loop was formed between the self-destructing Soul-Devouring Flower, the Ghost-Faced Red Vine that was not afraid of the Soul-Devouring Flower's soul-devouring talent, and Ning Xuan.
The red mist produced after the self-explosion of the Soul-Eating Flower Core is its origin. It was originally supposed to seep into the ground, nourish the main flower branches, and form a new flower core. However, the Ghost-Faced Red Vine that was shattered by the violent energy secretly swallowed a lot of it to repair and strengthen itself, and also fed back to Ning Xuan. At the same time, the Ghost-Faced Red Vine that had just been shattered by the energy field was seriously injured and needed Ning Xuan's energy to reshape itself.
