Zhang Che had not expected at all that the main body of the vines was actually the source of the spiritual energy.
What was even more unexpected was that the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine was clearly a plant, yet Zhang Che’s data eyes displayed some simple attributes to him!
Although those attributes was indeed extremely simple, only showing its name and some characteristics, it was shown to him nonetheless. That was very unusual. To put it in perspective, his data eyes had showed no reaction when Zhang Che came across the demonic flowers in the past.
-Looks like there are still many mysterious layers undiscovered in the beast world,- Zhang Che sighed inwardly. Even now, beastmasters had only explored tens of thousands of kilometers into the beast world at the most. Those who did were all the best of the high-tier beastmasters. Among the ordinary beastmasters, there weren’t many who explored even several thousand kilometers deep, let alone ten thousand kilometers!
In the gap of those several thousand kilometers, legend-quality, or even epic-quality exotic beasts, were already not uncommon. Some had even spotted divine-quality exotic beasts before.
What about ten thousand kilometers deep? Or places beyond that?
No one knew exactly how vast the beast worlds were. What exactly was in those places so deep into the beast world that they were unreachable? No one knew…
Perhaps even those rare divine-quality beastmasters weren’t clear about the secrets in the true depths of the beast world.
“Why think so much? I’d better take care of this Blood-Sucking Demon Vine first and let the frisky monkey have a good meal!” Zhang Che shook his head, not worrying so much.
The Blood-Sucking Demon Vine’s strength was clear in his data eyes. It had reached epic-quality, and emitted strong spiritual waves. If he could kill it and obtain the demon vine’s essence, it shouldn’t be a problem for the frisky monkey to advance.
While Zhang Che was thinking all that, the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine opposite him was obviously not fond of his intrusion. It waved its countless vines about, launching a crazed attack on him. Alas, the elemental queen used the last of her strength to summon her golden scarlet flames and stopped them all.
The elemental queen had said earlier that the fire elements nearby were isolated by the Blood-Sucking Demon Vines by some unknown methods. She had lost her sustainability in fights, and wasn’t able to hold on for much longer.
Since the elemental queen couldn’t fight for long, then let the powerful combat forces who could do it!
The golden vortex was filled with energy. Zhang Che had no problem in fighting a long drawn-out battle. “Kill!” With a loud cry, the scarlet and white sword burst out with a resplendent light, and flew forth.
At the same time, Zhang Che felt he wasn’t secure enough. The main thing was, he didn’t want to drag the matter out. Thus, he summoned the Earthen Rock Demon out as well.
That fellow was an earth-attributed subdued beast. As long as it stood on earth, there was no need to worry about running out of earth elements to use. Once it was summoned out, at Zhang Che’s order, it strode forth with long steps, reaching out and grabbing the oncoming vines like it was grasping a handful of grass, pulling and snapping them.
Zhang Che wasn’t satisfied with just that. He also ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to use his Extreme Yin Ray skill, shooting at the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine’s main body.
Although the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine was a little peculiar, being a plant that resembled an exotic beast, it would most likely suffer quite a bit from an extremely cold attack like the Extreme Yin Ray.
It was indeed the case.
After the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s Extreme Yin Ray struck the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine’s main body, the countless vines slowed down noticeably. Zhang Che grabbed the opportunity and had the scarlet and white sword sweep across them, cutting down most of them.
The Earthen Rock Demon let out a silent roar. Electric light shone in its hands. A huge rock spear with the powers of lightning coursing through it suddenly appeared, and it hurled the spear at the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine’s main body violently.
The Blood-Sucking Demon Vine sensed the danger. However, its main body was slow. Naturally it wasn’t able to dodge an attack like that.
However, the plant had certain degree of intelligence, after all. It knew to move its countless vines to form a densely packed green shield in front of its main body.
BAM! A deafening bang rang out! The shield formed from countless vines was instantly punched through by the lightning spear, leaving a hole behind. Afterwards, without losing any momentum, it plunged into the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine’s main body.
Large amounts of green fluids spattered in all directions. The vines on the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine stirred crazily, as if it was letting out a miserable shriek.
“Die!” Zhang Che yelled. The scarlet and white sword no longer attacked the vines swinging about in the air. Instead, it directly streaked towards a certain part of the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine’s main body at Zhang Che’s command.
His powerful spiritual sense let him vaguely discover where the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine’s weakness was. He quickly made his attack, aiming right at the vitals.
The sword flew out; the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine sensed the grave impending danger.
However, given the scarlet and white sword’s lightning-fast speed, it couldn’t dodge in time at all, and was slashed at its root. Afterwards, its huge body was directly split in half, collapsing to the ground.
However, the grave injury wasn’t enough to kill the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine on the spot.
Before its death, it launched a crazed, final counterattack. Countless vines danced about like mad demons, all of them lashing towards Zhang Che!
A concentrated sharp whistle rang out. Zhang Che wasn’t afraid at all, however. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile. All of a sudden, the Earthen Rock Demon’s enormous figure stood in front of Zhang Che, shielding him.
A wave of crackling noise rang out endlessly. Countless bits of rock, big and small, scattered from the attacks on the Earthen Rock Demon’s body, but the attacks weren’t able to hurt its foundations at all.
Meanwhile, Zhang Che took the opportunity and slashed with the scarlet and white sword once more, finally killing the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine.
When everything settled and peace returned, Zhang Che let out a long breath.
For his first time facing this kind of plant-type exotic beast… well, maybe referring it as an exotic beast wasn’t appropriate, but Zhang Che really couldn’t find a better term for it, and thus categorized it as an exotic beast… At the start, he actually didn’t know how to look for the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine’s weakness. According to the usual practices, plant-type objects were surely vulnerable to flames. However, the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine was obviously not very scared of the elemental queen’s attacks.
Fortunately, he had a strong spiritual sense, and had the golden vortex. With a flash of inspiration, he had found the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine’s weakness and slashed twice at it, successfully killing it.
“Hmm? It actually gave soul force points!”
At the moment the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine was killed, a notification rang out in Zhang Che’s mind, informing him of his obtaining of the soul force points, surprising him.
It seemed like classifying the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine as an exotic beast wasn’t wrong after all…
Receiving the notification of killing the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine meant that it couldn’t be any more dead. It was impossible for it to be feigning death. Zhang Che lowered his guard, directing the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to fly over.
Immediately, he looked at the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine’s several-meters-wide body. Its midsection was emitting thick spiritual fluctuations.
-It seems the spiritual reaction comes from the inside of the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine’s body. In that case, it can’t be a parasitic spiritual herb. Could it be that this plant-type exotic beast mutated from a spiritual herb?- Although he guessed that, he wasn’t certain whether it was true, since the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine was the first plant-type exotic beast he had ever seen.
“Why think so much? Let’s see what exactly is in that fellow’s body!” Zhang Che pouted, and stopped worrying about pointless things. He walked up and found the correct position, slashing down with the scarlet and white sword. The Blood-Sucking Demon Vine was cut in half, exposing the area emitting the spiritual waves.
An extremely concentrated burst of blood-colored light shone from where the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine was sliced open.
Zhang Che walked up, carefully controlling the scarlet and white sword to shave away layer after layer of the fibers on the outside. Soon, an oval-shaped red crystal appeared in his sight.
Zhang Che suddenly had an absurd thought. -This thing… could it be the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine’s heart?-
However, the red crystal could be referred to as its heart. After all, it should be the Blood-Sucking Demon Vine’s energy core. Perhaps it was the energy essence converted from all the exotic beasts it had killed.
Zhang Che didn’t know whether the frisky monkey could eat it. He summoned the pet with a wave of his hand, letting him judge for himself.
In any case, this monkey was very smart. Surely he could tell what he could or could not eat at a glance.
As he had expected, the frisky monkey immediately cried out excitedly when he saw the red energy essence in Zhang Che’s hand. “Baba, eat, eat!”
Obviously, the heart’s effect wasn’t very different from spiritual herbs. The frisky monkey could eat it.
Since that was so, Zhang Che didn’t waste any time and directly stuffed the fist-sized red crystal into the frisky monkey’s hand. Afterwards, the frisky monkey directly opened his mouth wide, swallowing the red crystal down.
In the next moment, a violent yet pure energy wave erupted from the frisky monkey’s body, scaring him into turning into a dark golden ray of light and directly entering Zhang Che’s spiritual sea.
“Such a strong eruption of energy! The frisky monkey should be able to advance a star tier, right?” Zhang Che smiled at the thought of it.
Perhaps the frisky monkey wouldn’t advance only a star tier. After all, he was only at three-stars and was considered a low-tier exotic beast. After absorbing the energy essence of an epic-quality exotic beast all of a sudden, it was impossible for him to only advance a star tier!
Zhang Che didn’t go anywhere after the frisky monkey returned to his spiritual sea. He decided to wait for his pet to finish advancing in this devastated valley. After all, there should be quite a number of lesser spiritual herbs in the area. He needed to wait for the frisky monkey to guide him after he was done advancing and gather them all.
—–
The wait lasted about an hour.
When the frisky monkey appeared before Zhang Che once more, the latter immediately realized the monkey had directly grown a whole size larger.
Previously, the frisky monkey stood about a hundred sixty centimeters tall, with an average build. At this moment, the frisky monkey was even taller than Zhang Che, standing about two meters tall. His figure resembled that of a bodybuilder, with bulging muscles under his body hair. One look and anyone could tell the frisky monkey was filled with explosive strength!
