Chapter 191: The Birth of Intelligence
The Nascent Soul cultivator who was being relentlessly pursued by the Ghost Blood Vine was thinking about the Jade Stream Fruit he had obtained while fleeing.
He took a moment to look down, and what he saw made his eyes widen in shock.
There was no trace of the extremely precious Yujian fruit with its alluring luster in his hand.
Instead, there was a slippery, dull black stone.
In an instant, anger surged into my heart like a surging tide.
His face was twisted with extreme anger, and veins bulged on his forehead.
He threw the stone in his hand fiercely and roared at the top of his lungs:
"We were all fooled by that little demon! The Yujian Fruit must still be in her hands!"
However, at this moment, the ghost blood vine behind him was approaching at an astonishing speed, making bursts of terrifying whistling sounds.
The demons who had just been hoping for a lucky break were all terrified when they heard the sound.
How could he dare to stay for even a moment, let alone go back to settle the score with Chen Wan'er.
Just as they were running for their lives, another demon was unfortunately entangled by the vines of the ghost blood vine.
The demon instantly let out a desperate scream, and its body was tightly entangled by the ghost blood vine.
He struggled constantly but couldn't break free at all.
This scene brought the fear of the other monsters to its peak, and they could only try their best to escape as fast as possible.
"That's not right! Didn't they say that where the Ghost Blood Vine is, there won't be other monsters?
Why does it stay with that mysterious cow-horse beast?
Could it be... could it be that it has developed intelligence and deliberately set this trap to ambush us here?"
A demon cultivator suddenly shouted out his doubts in panic and fear.
When the other demon cultivators heard this, they reacted instantly as if they were struck by lightning.
When they thought that they might be facing a ghost blood vine with intelligence and cunningness, their backs went cold and a chill ran from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
In an instant, the remaining monsters burst out with unprecedented speed.
At this critical moment, their desire to survive was completely aroused.
They knew very well that the Ghost Blood Vine, now with intelligence, was far more powerful than they could contend with.
In front of it, people like us are nothing compared to it.
"It's all that witch! If it weren't for her, how could we be in such a desperate situation!
The next time I see her, I will tear her into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
A demon roared with gritted teeth.
The other demons nodded, with flames of hatred burning in their eyes.
But the only thing they could do at this moment was to run away desperately.
However, the gears of fate seemed to have determined their end.
In the next moment, the demons who were still desperately fleeing seemed to be hit by an invisible force, and their bodies fell forward uncontrollably.
They fell to the ground, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.
A mysterious poison quickly spread throughout their bodies, causing them to twitch uncontrollably.
They tried their best to break free from this unknown fear and powerlessness.
But the poison was like a maggot attached to their bones, corroding their bodies tightly.
At this time, Ghost Blood Vine received the message from Chen Wan'er:
"Xiao Teng, I'll leave these snacks to you. Come back when you're full."
The ghost blood vine seemed to understand and its vines swayed gently.
He slowly crawled towards the fallen monsters on the ground, ready to enjoy this sumptuous "feast".
Not long after, a creepy and inhuman scream suddenly rang out in the cave.
The sound was sharp and shrill, echoing back and forth between the stone walls of the cave, as if countless wronged souls were wailing in pain.
When the Ghost Blood Vine returned after a full meal, everyone could clearly notice that its body had grown significantly larger.
The originally slender vines became thicker, with the storage bags and storage rings of those unlucky monks wrapped around them, swaying slightly with its movement.
The ghost blood vine was like a child who was eager to show off his achievements to the adults, and handed these "trophies" to Chen Wan'er as if they were treasures.
Then, it stretched out its vines obediently, transformed into a lounge chair, and quietly waited for Chen Wan'er's praise.
"Junior Sister, could it be that your Ghost Blood Vine has developed intelligence?"
Baili Chen's eyes were full of surprise and he asked in disbelief.
Chen Wan'er raised the corners of her mouth slightly and nodded with satisfaction.
After all, the ghost blood vine has sucked so much blood. If it still can't develop intelligence, then she really feels that she has suffered a great loss.
"Manman, among your demon race, what level of cultivation does a newly born demon like this generally correspond to?"
Chen Wan'er turned to look at Manman and asked curiously.
"Golden Core Stage." Manman answered without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Lou Chongxiao's eyes widened in shock.
His mouth was wide open, as if he couldn't close it, and his face was full of disbelief.
"What? Only at the Golden Core stage?
Are you saying that before it was just a monster in the foundation-building stage?
But how could a ghost blood vine in the Foundation Establishment stage scare a group of Yuanying stage masters so much that they pissed and shitted and fled in all directions?
This is too outrageous!"
Manman quickly explained, "The Ghost Blood Vine is one of the four most famous beasts of our demon race.
It was born with an extremely terrifying talent, so it can transcend realms and defeat enemies. It cannot be confused with ordinary monsters at all."
When everyone heard this, they all suddenly understood.
So that’s how it is. No wonder the Ghost Blood Vine is so powerful and has such an extraordinary origin!
But who would have thought that such a terrifying beast could be easily tamed by his own junior sister.
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
I really can't tell how strong my junior sister is.
Where is the bottom line of strength?
Looking back on this experience, we have to admit that this trip to Hopeless Mountain was very rewarding.
"Manman, where are we going next?"
Ye Lingyu looked at Manman and asked softly.
Manman was lost in thought, thinking about various possible destinations in her mind.
Before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Chen Wan'er's voice.
“Everyone has seen that the situation on the demon tribe’s side cannot be underestimated.
Whenever a group of monsters come out, the leader is always a powerful Yuanying stage cultivator.
In my opinion, the most important thing for us right now is to improve our own cultivation.
Manman, you have to at least break through to the great perfection realm of foundation building.
As for my senior brothers and sisters, isn’t it time for them to work hard towards the Nascent Soul stage?
Don't forget, the cultivation progress of the eldest brother and his group is much faster than ours."
After hearing this, Ye Lingyu and the others showed a trace of shame on their faces and lowered their heads unconsciously.
They knew in their hearts that they were only at the Golden Core stage of cultivation now.
In this demon clan territory filled with powerful people, it does seem insignificant.
Moreover, every time there is danger, the junior sister always rushes to the front without hesitation to protect everyone.
If this continues, it is really not appropriate.
So, the six people decisively left the Snake Clan's Hopeless Mountain.
Find a quiet and spiritually rich place nearby, calm down, and devote yourself to cultivation.
