The vines of the Blood Vine Demon Lotus that protected Zhang Mu's body were like taut springs, as if they had been compressed to the last possible degree. When they reached this point, they directly bounced back with all their strength.

The zombies crowded around Zhang Mu were the first to be hit and suffered the greatest damage from the vines. The vines did not suck their blood at all. The strong and thick vines swept all the dozen or so zombies nearby in half like a hot knife through butter, and the force was still spreading out.

As the first batch of zombies were bounced away, the ones behind them, although not hurt directly, were repelled by an inexplicable force without even knowing what was going on.

However, the power of the Blood Vine Lotus' attack was limited. After passing through layers of zombies' flesh and blood, it only cleared out the zombies within a ten-meter radius of Zhang Mu. The zombie swarm behind him, which spread for hundreds of meters and were stacked together, was only slightly hindered in its forward progress and was about to launch another charge.

However, Zhang Mu would not give them a chance. He looked up, found a direction, locked the route forward, and snorted coldly, "If you don't seize the opportunity the first time, don't even think about it later."

Swish!

Before the zombies could start the second encirclement, Zhang Mu took a step forward and rushed towards the direction he had originally planned with the blood vine lotus protecting his entire body.

The Blood Vine Lotus was in tune with his mind, and at Zhang Mu's request, it now completely handed over control to Zhang Mu.

Under Zhang Mu's control, the vines that were originally only passively protecting his safety were decisively opened in one direction. The vines in this direction instantly opened their bodies like spirit snakes and attacked forward with their fangs and claws bared.

The two leading vines suddenly shot out and pierced into the two zombies in front of Zhang Mu. Without stopping, they penetrated the body of the next zombie before stopping. After sucking all the liquid out, they pushed the floating zombies to the sides.

The vines in other directions remained unchanged, ensuring that Zhang Mu was not attacked by the zombies from other directions. Zhang Mu was now like an airtight electric drill, drilling into the interior of the zombie group and opening a big hole for him.

Only in front of Zhang Mu

The zombies could attack him during this gap. Although there were thousands of zombies here, there were only three or two in front of Zhang Mu. Even if there were more and more zombies, a head-on contact would still limit the number to four.

Even when he was attacked head-on by more than a dozen zombies just now, nothing went wrong. What's more, now, there was no way for a mere four zombies to get within half a meter of Zhang Mu.

As for attacks coming from other directions, the Blood Vine Lotus only had to passively defend itself. It did not seem to be struggling at all, and instead looked quite ready to try. From time to time, when there were not too many zombies in a certain direction, it would mischievously stretch out a vine to take a few sips.

As for the vines that Zhang Mu arranged in front of him, they were all the strongest and toughest of all, and the densely packed barbs on them made them look even more hideous.

The defense of the first-level zombies was like paper in front of the Blood Vine Lotus and was torn apart easily.

Zhang Mu also became playful. Feeling the weakness of the first-level zombies, he became unscrupulous. He no longer limited himself to sucking the zombies' blood and pushing them aside. Instead, he inserted the vine into a zombie's body and directly threw it to his side.

Under Zhang Mu's deliberate control, the Blood Vine Lotus did not absorb the Yuan Crystal energy from the necks of the killed zombies, because Zhang Mu wanted to prepare for the transaction in the evening. If all of it was eaten by the Blood Vine Lotus, wouldn't that mean he would get nothing?

Throw one to the left and one to the right.

As the speed increased, Zhang Mu was having a lot of fun. He was like a powerful excavator that plunged deep into the zombie swarm.

Ping-pong sounds kept coming from the vine defense shield around him. Unknowingly, Zhang Mu was already very close to the outer perimeter of the zombie swarm.

The intelligence of the first-level zombies was indeed worrying. They did not surround Zhang Mu in an organized manner, but only followed his original direction and stuck to him all the way. As a result, the zombies in front of Zhang Mu became increasingly sparse, while the group of zombies behind him became increasingly large. It was so funny that they followed Zhang Mu slowly, just like a group of old ladies competing to feed their grandchildren.

Suddenly, Zhang Mu found that the power of the blood vine lotus was slightly weaker. At first he didn't feel anything, but when the guard

Only when the blood lotus vines that supported his body began to shrink at a slow pace did he realize the seriousness of the situation.

What's going on? Logically, there shouldn't be such a situation where they suddenly become weak, right? I've never heard of mutant plants failing halfway.

Even someone as shocked as Zhang Mu began to feel anxious at this moment. After all, he would never have the chance to get close to these mutant plants that could only be cultivated by high-end evolutionists.

Are we going to leave? Fortunately, we are almost out of the zombie swarm.

The Blood Vine Lotus currently does not have much intelligence, let alone being comparable to the Black Obsidian Worm. In fact, it only has the most basic instincts, so Zhang Mu has no way to communicate with the Blood Vine Lotus and can only worry.

However, it would be a pity to leave like this.

He looked down at the blood lotus vines that were still slowly shrinking. At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Zhang Mu's mind.

Could it be that the energy is not enough and the blood sucked is not enough to replenish the consumption of the blood vine lotus?

It must be like this!

A bitter smile flashed across Zhang Mu's face, and he shook his head helplessly.

I originally wanted to save some money for the night, but I didn't expect that I couldn't catch the wolf without sacrificing the child. I guess if I don't replenish the blood vine lotus, it may just shrink back into Zhang Mu's body and absorb his blood to replenish its energy.

In fact, we can’t blame the blood vine lotus. It is just trying to maintain its own survival.

There is no other way. Just spend a little money to get a big one. Zhang Mu can take the pros and cons lightly.

Money is something that should be spent when it is needed, and you can't be stingy.

After figuring this out, Zhang Mu immediately took out a handful of Yuan Crystals from the Epoch Merchant Ring. Before he placed it just above his left arm, he felt the urgent feeling of the Blood Vine Lotus.

Sure enough, did you guess it right?

Zhang Mu smiled, and stretched out an extra vine from the Blood Vine Lotus, swallowing up all the Yuan Crystals.

After the blood vine lotus had been replenished with energy, it instantly became like an iron chain with good lubrication, and it started to attack with all its strength again. This time, it directly led Zhang Mu forward, and was even more aggressive than Zhang Mu.
