Chapter 168 Vines Kill People
The situation was a bit strange, Qingyang thought it was better to be cautious, and said: "The situation of these two bodies is not right, I think we should see the situation first."
"See what situation? There are so many people here, are you afraid that someone will set a trap here?" Zhong Santong poked Qingyang, and then rushed over impatiently.
Zhong Santong rushed to the side of the corpse in three or two steps, picked up the long sword from the ground, threw it to his second brother Shen Ertong, and then lowered his head to turn over the bag on the corpse. Shen Ertong took the long sword, looked it up and down several times, then glanced at Qingyang and said, "It's a medium-grade long sword of magic weapon, and its quality is better than the soft whip on my body. It can be sold for at least two spirit stones in the shops of Yuling City. Daoist Qingyang, you are too timid in this Yuling Mountain, but you can't get good things."
Looking at this guy's appearance, he was obviously laughing at himself for making a fuss, but Qingyang didn't care about him. He was just persuading him kindly. If you don't want to listen, you will suffer sooner or later.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Ertong finished speaking, he heard several sounds of breaking through the air, and suddenly more than a dozen thorny green vines flashed out from behind the bushes and entangled Zhong Santong, who was closest to him.
Zhong Santong was looking down at the packages, but he didn't expect that danger would come so soon. It was too late to dodge, and his legs and body were immediately entangled by several of the vines. The vines became tighter and tighter, and the sharp thorns on the branches pierced the skin, and the red blood slowly seeped out, gradually dyeing the green vines blood red.
However, in the blink of an eye, Zhong Santong's legs lost consciousness, and his originally thick thighs gradually lost their blood color, and were obviously thinner than before. At this rate, it is estimated that it will not take long for Zhong Santong to be completely sucked into a dried meat by the vines.
It turned out that this was not an ordinary vine, but a demon that could kill people. Now everyone finally understood why the two bodies died here and why they died in this form. The reason why they died here was entirely due to the vines. The bodies were well preserved because the monsters did not dare to come here to gnaw, and the things left here might just be a bait.
Fortunately, Zhong Santong's two arms could still move. Seeing the remaining branches entangled around his shoulders, he quickly sacrificed his magic weapon bronze bell and smashed it towards the vines that were entangled. Those vines seemed to have eyes. They just moved slightly and dodged the bronze bell, and then continued to attack.
It was like a strong man holding a big iron hammer and smashing the branches of the willow tree under the willow tree. He couldn't use any strength at all. What should he do? Is he just waiting to die?
Zhong Santong was indeed a cultivator in the late stage of Kaimai Realm. At this moment, he suddenly used nearly half of his true energy and waved his palm towards the bronze bell.
"Boom... buzz buzz buzz..." A huge sound resounded through the sky. The vines that were waving over seemed to be struck by lightning. They trembled a few times and then drooped softly. Even the vines that had been entangled with Zhong Santong suddenly loosened a lot.
Taking this opportunity, Zhong Santong hurriedly struggled to the outside, but the vines did not give him this opportunity. Affected by the sound waves of the bronze bell, the vines only paused slightly, and after easing the strength, they attacked Zhong Santong again.
The interval was too short, and Zhong Santong had no time to break free from the vines. Fortunately, Yuan Datong and Shen Ertong had already rushed over at this time. They were entangled in four or five vines waving in the air, giving Zhong Santong the opportunity to concentrate on dealing with the vines wrapped around him.
Seeing that Zhong Santong was about to be rescued, suddenly there were several sounds of breaking through the air in the bushes, and then more vines came towards them. It seems that there are at least dozens of vines flying over this time.
It is easy for a cultivator to deal with four or five vines, but seven or eight vines are a bit difficult. If these dozens of vines come together, even if they have three heads and six arms, they can't handle it. It is estimated that it won't take long for the three of them to be entangled into dumplings.
Everyone came together, so naturally they couldn't just stand by and watch. Yun Da Niang and her daughter, the traveling doctor, the monk Wujing and Lu Dingshan also each sacrificed their magic weapons and rushed up, and even Qingyang was no exception.
Eight or nine people were dealing with dozens of vines at the same time. Although it was a bit strenuous, the situation finally improved a little. Yuan Datong and Shen Ertong were no longer in danger, but they did not have the extra energy to save Zhong Santong. Zhong Santong could only rely on himself to escape.
Dozens of vines were flying all over the sky, like a super tentacle monster baring its fangs and claws at them. Just relying on dozens of vines, the nine Kaimai realm cultivators were exhausted. The strength of this monster was at least comparable to that of a cultivator at the third or fourth level of Qi training.
However, after the sudden attack just now, everyone also had some understanding of the habits of these vines. If there were only so many vines hidden in the dark, then Qingyang and his team would definitely win in the end, because there were still two captains on their side who had not taken action.
The battle was in full swing. Seeing that dozens of vines were being held back by nine cultivators, they were at their wit's end. Helan Feng also took out a judge's pen and prepared to step forward to help.
At this moment, another change occurred. Suddenly, more than a dozen roots as thick as arms emerged from the ground and wrapped around the ankles of the cultivators. Everyone was trying their best to deal with the flying vines in the air. Although they were prepared for the dangers around them, no one expected that the accident would happen under their feet.
Without checking for a moment, the monk Wujing and Aunt Yun were immediately attacked. Two or three roots entangled their ankles and dragged them underground. There were roots entangled their ankles and they couldn't move. There were vines attacking their heads from time to time. The monk Wujing and Aunt Yun were immediately in a panic. They were about to be entangled and bled like Zhong Santong.
The other few people were not attacked, of course, not because they were stronger or dodged in time, but because they were standing in a relatively remote position, so the roots did not attack them.
"Everyone retreat!" Duan Rushong shouted.
Seeing that the team was about to lose two more people, the captain Duan Rushong finally took action. After he shouted, all the others retreated more than ten feet in a row, avoiding the attack range of the vines above their heads. The neckless monk and Aunt Yun were still entangled by the roots on the ground at their ankles and could not retreat. They could only curl up and lie on the ground. As for Zhong Santong, whose body was entangled by vines, he could only protect his head with the bronze bell.
