Chapter 298 Poisonous Vine

This was clearly the space where these awakened earthworms were active, digging out a very spacious area underground, which made it convenient for Ye Xuan and the others.

Chen Li, following his intuition, led the group forward. After more than ten minutes, the group finally found the main target!

This place was already a depth of one thousand meters underground, due to the activities of the awakened earthworms, causing the space here to be vast, like a palace.

And at the end of this palace, from a distance, a huge spirit stone mine could be seen lying there.

This spirit stone mine should be the one located beneath the coal mine, with the concentration of spiritual energy around it much richer than other places.

On the surface of this spirit stone mine, countless vines were clinging, some of which were even rooted within the spirit stone mine itself.

At this moment, these thick green vines, many of them had some yellowed spots at their tips.

Those yellowed wounds were obviously caused when Su Mengli used the Flame Red Lotus Missiles to burn them during the sealing of the earth.

And Long Hanjie, along with a few miners on him, were not far away.

Long Hanjie transformed into the ancestral dragon form, his body coiled into a circle, protecting the miners in the center.

Its body was fighting against those vines.

There were a huge number of those vines, covered with poisonous thorns, and were thick, long, and tough.

Long Hanjie was already covered in wounds, with hardly any resistance left.

The vine monster was not in a hurry, as Long Hanjie was its favorite food.

As for the few ordinary people protected by Long Hanjie, it didn’t care at all, which was why it was slowly toying with Long Hanjie.

If it was interested in those miners, with its strength in the underground world, before Ye Xuan and the others arrived, it could easily devour them all.

The vine monster was born within the spirit stone mine, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, growing to such a terrifying extent.

Its resources were abundant, and its appetite was picky; ordinary food couldn’t catch its eye.

To the vine monster, ordinary humans were just junk food, not interesting at all, eating them would only give it indigestion, providing no help to its strength.

But Long Hanjie was different, with the SSS-class ancestral dragon form, the energy contained in his blood was very attractive to it.

That’s why, it immediately took action, binding Long Hanjie and bringing him into the underground world.

By the time Ye Xuan and the others arrived, Long Hanjie had already been consumed by this vine monster, weakened all over, covered in wounds, and poisoned.

Seeing Ye Xuan and the others coming, Long Hanjie weakly cursed, “You finally came, I thought I was done for!”

Upon hearing Long Hanjie’s words, Ye Xuan smiled and said, “You are the ancestral dragon form, the future of China relies on you, how could I let you perish?”

At this moment, the vines clinging to the spirit stone mine began to move rapidly.

After a while, those green vines intertwined with each other, forming a shape resembling a human face.

Then, the vine monster actually spoke, “Food, so many delicious foods! I will eat you all.”

Ye Xuan looked at the vine monster in shock, “A plant like you can actually speak, truly incredible!”

The vine monster let out a strange laugh, then countless vines covered the sky and ground, attacking Long Hanjie and Ye Xuan’s group.

Su Mengli took a step forward, and the Flame Red Lotus, like it was free, was unleashed towards the vine monster, the terrifying flames suddenly raising the temperature around.

The countless vines clashed with the Flame Red Lotus, followed by numerous screams, countless vines were burned and severed, a pitiful sight.

In fact, Su Mengli’s strength was quite comparable to Long Hanjie’s at present. However, facing the vine monster, the consequences were completely different due to a matter of restraint.

Long Hanjie’s ability was the ancestral dragon form, with outstanding attack and defense in its Divine Form, suitable for direct confrontation.

However, this vine monster had a large number of tough, long, thorny vines, with toxins as well.

Long Hanjie was directly countered by the vine monster, tearing and struggling against the vines, but the toxins continuously drained Long Hanjie’s strength, weakening him further.

On the other hand, Su Mengli was different, fire overcomes wood, and vine-like monsters naturally fear fire, especially the top-class Flame Red Lotus in the fire.

The vine monster’s defense and regenerative abilities couldn’t withstand the Flame Red Lotus, it couldn’t get close to Su Mengli, and its thorns and toxins were ineffective, how could it fight against Su Mengli?

Therefore, as soon as they met, Su Mengli, with her own strength, suppressed the vine monster.

Su Mengli unleashed all her firepower, the Flame Red Lotus burning even more fiercely, ready to turn the vine monster into ashes.

The vine monster let out a series of screams, its vines severed countless times, finally, it decided to fight back.

Countless vines of the vine monster began to harvest, at the same time, the root system inserted into the spirit stone mine slowly pulled out.

The vine monster actually left the spirit stone mine, and its numerous vines intertwined rapidly, undergoing a transformation.

After a few seconds, the vine monster actually turned into a human form.

Its entire body was composed of countless vines, those originally several meters in diameter vines were compressed to less than a millimeter thick, entwined together like knitting a sweater, forming a human shape.

Su Mengli continued to control the Flame Red Lotus to deal with this vine monster, however, the vine monster in human form possessed terrifying speed and strength.

With a light leap, it easily dodged Su Mengli’s fire.

Su Mengli’s Flame Red Lotus was not afraid of how strong or how many opponents there were.

It was only afraid of the opponent’s speed, which could cause her fire to fall behind. No matter how terrifying the power of the Flame Red Lotus was, it needed to make contact with the opponent to be effective; if it couldn’t touch the opponent, it would be useless.

After easily dodging the attack, the vine monster’s hand suddenly extended, transforming back into a vine form, reaching out towards the injured Long Hanjie.

It needed to replenish its vitality after being damaged by the Flame Red Lotus.

At that moment, a butcher’s knife descended from the sky, ruthlessly chopping down on the vine.

The vine monster’s arrogance was quite extreme, the butcher’s knife couldn’t cut the vine, but it successfully slowed down the vine monster’s speed.

Ye Xuan immediately used the power of electromagnetic manipulation to attract Long Hanjie and a few miners over, protecting them behind him.
