Chapter 1345: Thorn Forest
The unity of heaven and man, this realm is a good thing that all martial artists, including the strong people in the Jindan period, dream of, in this case, the cultivation of martial artists is like opening countless plug-ins, you can quickly improve your strength, and there is no trace of sequelae.
Of course, the Ghost Face Fruit is not a heaven-level spirit fruit after all, and its ability is still limited.
The enhanced soul energy of the Ghost Face Fruit is useful for the martial artists below the foundation building period, but for the strong people in the foundation building period, the effect is very small, let alone the Jindan stage.
To be honest, Lin Ze has always been worried about the ghost face fruit in his heart.
His current strength is quasi-congenital, and the ghost face fruit has a very strong effect on Lin Ze.
What's more, a cherished spirit fruit like the Ghost Face Fruit is definitely the top goods in the buyer's market, Lin Ze really wants the Ghost Face Fruit in his hand, and he can get anything from the buyer's market.
For example, the war flying boat that Lin Ze was very coveted before, as long as there is a ghost face fruit, Lin Ze can get it very easily, and the quantity will follow Lin Ze's meaning.
However, the growing environment of the ghost face fruit is very ordinary, it can grow in the desert, it can grow in the forest, it can grow in the swamp, and even in the sea.
As long as there is enough flesh and blood, the devil vine can grow there.
It's just that, even if so, the number of devil vines is not much.
Just like ordinary vines, the lifespan of the devil vine is also limited, although it has a lifespan of hundreds of years now, but it is far worse than the lifespan of other innate stage brute beasts that is as long as four or five hundred years.
The propagation of devil vines is not by flowering and bearing fruit like other plants.
The devil's vine bears the fruit of the devil's face fruit, but the devil's face fruit does not have the ability to reproduce.
The real reproduction of the devil's vine actually relies on the automatic separation of the root system.
In addition, the survival rate of automatic separation of this root system is extremely low.
Because, after the adult devil vine has separated its offspring, it will no longer care about it and let it die on its own.
As mentioned earlier, the devil's vine grows underground, and its roots are generally seventy or eighty meters underground, or even more than a hundred meters deep, and the separated root system is also at this depth, and its vine is not even half a meter long at this time.
It's only a little bit of length, but you need to grow it to the ground yourself.
Just imagine how low the survival rate of these isolated roots is.
Of course, there are also some masters of cultivating elixirs who want to cultivate the devil vine by themselves, and deliberately excavate these newly separated devil vine babies from the depths of the ground.
It's just that I don't know if it's because I saw the sun too early, or because I didn't experience the hardships of drilling through the hundreds of meters of underground trials, these devil vine seedlings all died in a short period of time without exception.
Anyway, as far as Lin Ze knew, no one had been able to cultivate a living devil vine until now.
Lin Ze wanted the ghost face fruit very much in his heart, but he knew very well that his idea was just a dream, and if he wanted to realize it, the possibility was infinitely close to zero.
However, what Lin Ze didn't expect was that he met the devil vine here, which not only frightened Lin Ze, but also made Lin Ze happy.
The reason for the shock was because Lin Ze knew the strength of the Devil Vine, and he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with the Devil Vine.
Rejoice because since he has found the traces of the devil's vine, then it is possible for him to get the fruit of the devil's vine, the devil's face fruit!
As long as Lin Ze gets the Ghost Face Fruit, he can greatly increase his soul energy, and then improve his understanding, so for the Ghost Face Fruit, Lin Ze is determined to get it.
However, the devil vine is not so easy to deal with, not to mention the number of sub-vines around it that reaches tens of thousands, and even its speed is not ordinary.
The devil vine is born with the ability to escape from the earth, and it is still very strong, in the underground, the devil vine is quite a high-speed railway, even if the average martial artist sees it, he can't catch up with it, otherwise, Lin Ze will not be difficult to deal with.
Its body is wrapped around the ground deep underground, sticking rattans out of the surface to hunt, and it is accustomed to walking on the ground and moving quickly, and shrinking extremely quickly when it is wounded.
With Lin Ze's strength, especially his induction power, it is easy to dodge its attacks, and it doesn't seem too difficult to hurt it, but it is not so easy to seriously injure it all at once so that it cannot escape, so that it can finally extract all its body and throw it into Lin Ze's plane seed world.
That's right, what Lin Ze wants is to catch the devil vine.
The devil vine is so precious, of course Lin Ze doesn't want to miss it, even if it is to delay to find the next treasure for this, Lin Ze thinks it is worth it.
After all, encountering the devil's vine is something that can be encountered but not sought, and the next time you want to encounter it, you don't know when it will be.
And the Xuanyin tomb has always been here, and in the future, Lin Ze will have time to come here to hunt for treasures.
Comparing the two, Lin Ze of course dealt with the devil vine here first.
"The most important thing now is to find out this devil vine first!" After thinking about it, Lin Ze still didn't dare to be reckless, so he used light skills, turned on his induction power, and quickly walked through the entire surrounding forest.
Half an hour later, Lin Ze returned to his place with a heavy face.
This forest is not big, and there are big trees hugging three or four people all over the place, and these big trees seem to be a huge umbrella cover, covering the whole forest tightly.
If that's all it takes, then it's okay, Lin Ze won't have that difficulty finding it.
It's a pity that this forest is full of thorns, yes, the kind of thorns, but in terms of scale and hardness, they are far beyond the thorns on the earth.
What's even worse is that perhaps because of the abundant spiritual energy on the Shenzhou Continent, these thorns have evolved, their root systems are extremely developed, and as long as these thorns exist, the root systems in the ground are all tangled and entangled, and they are hundreds of meters deep, extremely complex and firm.
Even if Lin Ze wanted to use the escape technique underground, it was very difficult.
In the same way, Lin Ze is even more confident in finding the devil's vine here.
After all, such an environment is the best environment for growth, and if the devil vine stealthily enters it, unless the thorns in the entire forest are uprooted, the average warrior will not want to find it again.
If only that's all, it's just a matter of being careful and taking more time when catching.
What really made Lin Ze's mood a little irritable was that there were not very few traces of devil vines in the entire forest, but a lot of them.
Lin Ze counted roughly, and found that there were hundreds or thousands of the same traces, so many traces made Lin Ze have no idea where to start, let alone where to start, which is really annoying.
After the Devil Vine appeared here, Lin Ze immediately asked Qu Jingwen in the Plane Seed World to start checking the relevant information of the Devil Vine.
(Lin Ze believes that a good memory is better than a bad pen, so Qu Jingwen and everything in their minds were required to be written, and then directly put into the library that Lin Ze established in the Plane Seed World.) )
After Qu Jingwen and their information, Lin Ze knew that the devil vines were surnamed Xi and lived in groups, all because they were plants after all, and for safety, the length of their vines was also limited, and they could not leave the root system too far, so they could only rely on a sweet fragrance similar to a spirit fruit to attract the surrounding brute beasts to cast their own nets.
And how far can a single devil vine spread its fragrance, and how many brute beasts can it attract?
Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the devil vine can only rely on the collective power to expand the scope of the hunt in order to attract more food.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Ze was so surprised when he first saw the first devil vine.
With the first strain, is the rest far away?
No, the current situation of these thorns everywhere in the forest directly gave Lin Ze a stick.
In this forest, there are very ordinary thorn forests growing everywhere, and there are so many of them that even Lin Ze thinks that this is not a forest, but a world of thorns.
This is not the worst, the worst thing is that I don't know how they have developed, these thorns have formed a similar symbiotic relationship with the devil vine in the forest.
Thorns rely on the devil vine to attract a large number of brute beasts to let them suck it, the scraps left by the devil vine to nurture the thorns of this forest very well, and then the devil vine is relying on the protection of the thorn forest, well hidden in the thorn forest, to avoid being discovered by foreign powerful warriors or brute beasts, and then destroyed.
The two have their own benefits and are interdependent.
In other words, if Lin Ze wants to subdue the large number of devil vines in the forest and obtain their ghost face fruits, he must first deal with those huge number of thorn forests.
There is nothing remarkable about the thorn forest itself, even if it is pulled out one by one and burned in batches, it is not difficult, the key is a matter of time.
Lin Ze roughly calculated that it would be impossible to kill these thorn forests in batches without a few months.
As for directly burning the entire thorn forest by fire prevention, there is no need to think about it, unless Lin Ze has to face countless competitors.
This thorn forest is not small, once it burns, it will be clearly visible within a range of more than twenty miles, and when the time comes, it will definitely cause countless curious warriors to come here.
At that time, Lin Ze needed to face not only the devil vine, but also these countless competitors.
Originally, this big gold mine was unique to Lin Ze alone, but a big fire directly provoked countless competitors, such a thing only a fool would do.
Lin Ze is obviously not a fool, so he ,.........
