Chapter 206 Black Snake Vine [Update]

"Senior, do you smell a fragrance?"

Xu Mu looked around cautiously while waking up the puppet cat on his shoulder.

Under his layers of defense, he could still let out the scent. This scent was definitely not simple, so he had to be careful.

If it's poisonous, you're in trouble.

"I'm the smeller from the puppet!"

Like a living creature, the puppet cat rubbed its eyes with its paws and stretched. Then it stood up, slapped away Xu Mu's hand that stretched out to caress the cat, looked around, and pointed in one of the directions.

"The scent should be coming from that direction!"

A humane smile suddenly appeared on the puppet cat's face: "You are really lucky!"

"What's the meaning?"

Xu Mu said a little puzzled.

Are you being sarcastic?

"You'll know if you go over and take a look. There aren't many spiritual beings that can penetrate the scent into the formation. I guess it's not wrong." Puppet Cat said.

"Spiritual creature?"

Xu Mu decided to go and have a look.

Before completing the task, I thought this cat would not harm him.

Xu Mu put away his formation and moved forward carefully in the direction pointed by the puppet cat.

Roar!

A two-headed bison beast ran past him with a drunken look on its face and rushed in the direction pointed by the puppet cat.

"Senior, are you sure there's nothing wrong with you?"

Looking at the monster beast going away, Xu Mu said worriedly,

"Don't worry!"

The puppet cat is full of confidence.

"Then can you tell me what it is?"

"You'll find out when you get there."

"..."

A cat actually flirted with me.

Xu Mu complained in his heart.

Seeing the other party's confident look, he felt a little relieved.

After walking for about four or five miles, a tree suddenly opened up in front of us. A tree with lush branches and leaves appeared. The crown of the tree was spread out like an umbrella, covering hundreds of meters in radius. The branches were covered with white fruits as crystal clear as jade.

“Ginseng fruit!!”

Seeing the baby-like shape of those fruits, Xu Mu's beads almost burst out.

But he was soon shocked. There might be ginseng fruits in this world, but it was definitely not the one in front of him.

Because the spiritual energy emanating from this tree is not particularly strong, it will definitely not reach the point where eating one will make a person become an immortal.

"Ginseng fruit? This name is quite vivid!" The puppet cat murmured: "But its real name is Yu Lingzi! It was named by my master!"

Xu Mu did not dwell on the name of the fruit tree. He asked, "Senior, are these fruits the good things you mentioned?"

"good!"

The puppet cat nodded.

Xu Mu frowned and said, "Didn't you say that all the spiritual creatures in this space are polluted by evil spirits?"

"Everything must be reversed when it reaches its extreme. There are always some exceptions in this world! The jade spirit tree in front of me is one of the few spiritual plants that will not be infected by evil spirits!"

"real?"

Xu Mu said a little distrustfully.

"Do I need to lie to you?" the puppet cat said disdainfully.

Hearing the puppet cat's assurance, Xu Mu couldn't help but look happy.

Judging from the aura radiating from these fruits, the grade will definitely not be lower than the fifth level. There are at least thousands of fruit trees in front of you. If you pick them all, it will definitely be a huge sum of money.

At least it can offset the consumption of spiritual stones on his body. As for doing things for others, he has to advance the money himself in the end.

Seeing the joy on Xu Mu's face, the puppet cat reminded: "Don't be too happy too early. It's not that simple if you don't want to pick these fruits."

"Of course I know this! There are monsters guarding the treasures of heaven and earth, and the spirit fruit tree in front of me must be the same!"

If it weren't for the protection of monsters, all the fruits would have been picked long ago.

"You are quite smart!"

"Thank you for the compliment, senior! I just don't know what kind of monster it is?"

Xu Mu covered a ten-mile radius with his spiritual thoughts, but did not find a single high-level monster.

"You'll know soon."

The puppet cat looked at a three-tailed ape not far away that was jumping rapidly among the branches. It looked like it was also attracted by Yu Lingzi.

"Jiji!"

The three-tailed ape had obviously lost its mind due to the stimulation of the scent. As soon as it got close, it scratched its ears and cheeks, and then eagerly jumped towards the Jade Spirit Tree.

Just when the three-tailed ape landed on the tree and wanted to reach out to pick the fruit, a black shadow shot out from the ground with a whooshing sound, wrapping around it as fast as lightning.

"Jiji!"

The three-tailed ape struggled and roared, but in vain. In an instant, it was pulled into the ground by the black shadow and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Tree Vine?"

With Xu Mu's cultivation level, he could clearly see that the black shadow was a rattan as thick as a thumb, and it was covered with sharp barbs. As soon as the ape was entangled, the barbs dug into its flesh.

"It's not Yu Lingzi's tree vine, but a parasitic plant called Black Snake Vine. They like to live near fruit trees with strong fragrance. They rely on the scent of spiritual fruits to attract monsters, and then kill and absorb nutrients. "Puppet Cat explained.

"What level is this snake vine?"

"This depends on how long it has been growing. The longer it grows, the stronger it will be. Theoretically, there is no upper limit!"

"..."

What you said means you didn’t say anything!

Xu Mu complained in his heart.

Since the puppet cat couldn't provide valuable information, Xu Mu had no choice but to do it himself. He released his spiritual thoughts to penetrate into the ground and check the black snake vine.

"First level? Fuck!"

Sensed by his spiritual sense, the aura of the Black Snake Vine was only at the first level, which made Xu Mu couldn't help but curse.

The three-tailed ape just now was at the fourth level. It was obvious that the black snake vine was deliberately hiding its aura.

Although he was depressed, this result was within his expectation.

Although the power of divine thoughts is miraculous, not everything can be seen.

Especially when facing monsters.

Some very low-level monsters can be born with the ability to evade divine thoughts.

The reason is also very simple. Without this ability, they would have been hunted down long ago.

This is also the reason why those Golden Core monks go to the forest every day to hunt monsters. Unless they are monks who specialize in hunting monsters, their hunting efficiency may not be as good as that of an experienced foundation-building monk.

The group of red spiders we met not long ago successfully deceived Xu Mu. If he hadn't been strong, he would have probably failed.

"Senior, are you sure these fruits are edible?" Xu Mu thought for a while and asked again.

"If you don't believe it, forget it!" the puppet cat said nonchalantly.

"In that case, senior please get on and off my shoulders first and stay away from me."

"What do you want to do?"

The puppet cat was a little surprised.

"Of course we can kill it with our magic!" Xu Mu said with a smile: "But this is my first time to cast this spell. In order to avoid an accident, it is better for seniors to hide first."

The puppet cat glanced at him dubiously, then jumped off his shoulders and hid several hundred meters away.

After confirming how good the opponent was, Xu Mu's body slowly floated up from the ground. After reaching an altitude of tens of meters, he quickly formed the magic formula with his hands.

Roar!

An illusory Kunpeng Dharma appeared behind him. He opened his mouth wide and sucked it hard, and energy within a ten-mile radius began to gather towards him.

Huge energy fluctuations spread hundreds of miles away, and the monsters in the jungle seemed to sense the natural disaster and began to flee.

"What the hell is this kid doing? Aren't you afraid of attracting high-level monsters?" the puppet cat muttered in a low voice.

A large amount of vitality gathered into Kunpeng Faxiang's body and turned into a chaotic-colored energy ball, which exuded terrifying and violent energy fluctuations, as if it contained energy that could destroy the world.

What Xu Mu wants to use is the magical power Swallowing Heaven. Although he has upgraded this magical power to an extraordinary level, this is the first time he has actually used it.

In order to avoid causing too much trouble, he did not exert his power to the maximum, and only absorbed the vitality within a ten-mile radius.

With his current level, he could theoretically reach hundreds of miles.

After feeling that the energy was almost gathered, Xu Mu used his spiritual thoughts as an anchor, squeezed the magic formula with his hands, and released it.

Roar!

Kunpeng Dharma Prime roared, and the energy ball turned into a beam of light and shot towards the ground.

Buzz!

In the void that the light beam passed through, layers of white ripples appeared, rippling silently toward the surroundings like water waves.

The soil on the ground melted like snow under the impact of the light beam.

All of this was like slow motion, until the light beam penetrated tens of meters into the earth and was about to contact the black snake vine, a deafening roar spread out like an overwhelming mountain.

A strong shock wave centered on the energy beam, lifting the ground tens of meters high, rolling like an earth dragon, sweeping in all directions.

Xu Mu, who stood up out of thin air, his expression changed slightly.

"Oops! It seems like you used too much force!"
