Volume 1_Chapter 74 Slowly Eroding



After repeatedly failing in their attempts to break the Blood Vine Lotus' defense, the mutant tigers finally realized the seriousness of the situation. At this moment, Zhang Mu instantly summoned the Blood Vine Lotus and strangled the mutant tigers' throats before they could make a sound.

It must be said that the name of this mutant tiger is not overstated, and there is a reason for its majesty. Even if the vine is as thick and tough as the blood vine lotus, the mutant tiger will quickly cut its vine with its claws.

When they risked scratching their feet and tried to use their claws to tear open the vines, the blood lotus would immediately grow a new vine to continue strangling their necks, making it impossible for them to make any sound.

There is not much else about the blood vine lotus, just the vines, which can be spent as if they were free.

At this time, the wolfhound dropped the mutant tiger's corpse, circled around Zhang Mu, and barked a few times mournfully, as if complaining about why Zhang Mu took so long to act.

Zhang Mu spread his hands and said helplessly, "There are still more than ninety tigers left, and there is also the white tiger. Why don't we let you deal with it? If you are so confident."

Hearing Zhang Mu's words, the wolfhound shook its head instantly and fell silent. Even if it killed the mutant tiger, it was because of its laziness and the fact that it overwhelmed the opponent in terms of momentum, which gave it the opportunity to kill it with one strike. Under normal circumstances, a head-on confrontation between the wolfhound and the mutant tiger should be a 50-50 situation, but it was only because of the wolfhound's inability to utilize its attributes and the wolfhound's sneak attack that it was at a loss.

But let alone ninety of them, it probably wouldn't be able to handle even the four mutant tigers that Zhang Mu was currently holding in a cage, so it didn't dare to make a sound the moment Zhang Mu mentioned it.

However, Zhang Mu looked at the wolfhound licking the blood from its mouth with interest. He didn't expect it to be able to kill a mutant tiger alone. He didn't expect it to be so ferocious. "Tsk tsk tsk, it performed well this time. There will be a reward when I go back."

After hearing Zhang Mu's praise, the wolfhound instantly raised its head, looked at Zhang Mu excitedly, and wagged its tail.

The fact that it was able to severely injure part of the mutant tiger with its earth-attributed thrusts was also closely related to the dozens of earth-attributed beast cores that Zhang Mu had stuffed into it before.

If there is no such pure earth energy to refine its beast core, the wolfhound is not sure to remove the protrusions on its carapace.

The thorns can be condensed enough to resist the mutant tiger's claw.

If it had not been strengthened before, the wolfhound's earth spikes would not have been able to withstand the mutant tiger's dying blow and would have been smashed to pieces, and then hit the wolfhound directly without any hindrance. After bearing this force, even if the wolfhound did not loosen its teeth, it would have suffered the most fatal blow.

The madness when on the verge of death, even a rabbit will bite when it is desperate, let alone this is a big tiger. Zhang Mu no longer looked at the wolfhound rubbing its head against his shoulder, and perceived the situation inside the prison through the perception of the blood vine lotus.

Now the mutant tigers have almost completely given up struggling. They keep cutting the blood vine lotus wrapped around their necks, but new vines will immediately continue the mission and they won't move at all.

Zhang Mu felt that the time was almost up and it was time to close the net, so he controlled the power of the Blood Vine Lotus and slowly dragged the four mutant tigers to the inner wall of the vine cage. Instantly, large roots grew out and pierced into their bodies. Because the vines of the Blood Vine Lotus were actually limited, controlling these four mutant tigers and maintaining the composition of the vine cage had already exhausted all the vines it could mobilize, so it could only rely on shorter roots to pierce into their bodies and begin to extract blood from their bodies.

The blood vine lotus is like a bottomless pit with no bottom. One by one, it penetrates into their bodies and sucks out blood. If others saw this scene, they would be scared to the point of being unable to move. There is no bloodiness, only a slow death.

Those mutant tigers were slowly losing their vitality, and their paws that had been able to struggle a few times just now now showed no signs of movement.

Seeing that they had no intention of resisting, Zhang Mu immediately retracted the vines that bound the four mutant tigers, intending to put all his strength into absorbing their power.

But, at the moment when Zhang Mu changed, the four mutant tigers opened their tightly closed eyes in tacit understanding. Zhang Mu thought to himself that something was not good. That's right, these mutant tigers have not shown their abilities yet.

Sure enough, things developed in the direction that Zhang Mu had guessed but did not want to see. The mutant tigers' throats, which had just been tightly strangled, had a slight gap. They seized the opportunity and barely opened a small gap at their mouths.

But this is enough!

I saw these four mutant tigers

At this moment, flames spurted out at the same time, directly burning the inner layer of the Blood Vine Lotus' cage, and it seemed that the Blood Vine Lotus' defense was about to be broken.

Oops! He was so careless. He didn't expect that the attribute of this mutant tiger was fire, which was a natural counter to the blood vine lotus. Zhang Mu thought that it was bad. As long as the throat of any of these mutant tigers was opened, all the mutant tigers in the village would probably come out in droves.

Seeing that most of the vines that were strangled around their necks were burned off in an instant, they could immediately send a warning to their companions. Even if they died, their companions and the boss would definitely kill these two treacherous and cunning people and bury them with them, so their death would be worth it.

The mutant tiger was actually quite intelligent, and its eyes were filled with a sense of satisfaction, as if Zhang Mu had finally lost to it. It could already see Zhang Mu's face through the thin outer wall, and they were staring at each other.

Zhang Mu was out of options at this point. Once the roars of these mutant tigers were heard, he and the wolfhound would have no choice but to run away. The white tiger seemed too dangerous to Zhang Mu.

If possible, he still didn't want to face the white tiger that seemed to be about to break through to the second level.

Thinking this way, Zhang Mu was already preparing to retreat. He was estimating the time it would take for the tigers to run over to see if he could take out the animal cores of these five tigers.

Even when he had the thought of escaping, Zhang Mu was still thinking about the animal cores in the heads of the five mutant tigers. After all, he couldn't escape empty-handed. After all, he had gone to such great lengths, Zhang Mu couldn't let himself make a wasted trip.

But at this moment, the tiger roar that Zhang Mu had been waiting for for a long time did not come. He looked back in surprise and found that the mutant tigers were also in disbelief. The vines of the blood vine lotus that had just been broken in half had been reconnected at some point, and then tightened the mutant tigers' throats even more forcefully.

Zhang Mu's eyes lit up and he understood instantly.

The Blood Vine Lotus was once severely damaged by fire from the merchant of the 35th Era, and its life recovery properties after mutation gave it some resistance to the attributes of fire.

Compared with the flame of No. 35, even the power that has been deliberately restrained is not comparable to that of this small mutant tiger.

In other words, the natural nemesis of the Blood Vine Lotus has completely disappeared.
