Chapter 371: The Vine of Evil Qi
Karn flew close to land, emerging from the dense bamboo forest and approaching the behemoth they had seen earlier, nibbling on the branches with its graceful long neck.
The creature had apparently noticed them, turned its head to look at the two of them, and then ate the leaves to itself, not the slightest aggression or any sense of territory.
It is sluggish and has a thick skin like a rhinoceros. There is a layer of tortoise shell on the back, which is covered with moss.
Kai'Sa wanted to get closer and touch it, but she caught a glimpse of its fangs peeking out between its chewing and retracted.
"This is the Scaly Eater, one of the oldest inhabitants of Ionia."
The creature in front of him was not a rare beast in Ionia, and Karn was also thinking about whether he would dare to risk the will of Ionia if he was lucky enough to encounter the legendary beast.
Killing the Scaly Eater in the fastest way possible, he began to devour without a trace.
This sample brings a slight change to the skin armor, which makes Karn slightly faster when changing the shape of the skin armor, which is not bad.
Karn felt that he might need a bestiary or an encyclopedia, Ionia had too many creatures beyond his knowledge, and he couldn't just devour living creatures like the Void.
As the days passed, Karn felt as if he had become a farmer, and every day he woke up thinking about how to clean up the land.
However, this fulfilling day will come to an end, and when the Shousheng tree grows large enough, the evil spirits hidden deep underground finally feel threatened and appear on the top of the mountain.
Karn was controlling the ethereals to gnaw at the vines underground, and a wave of magic erupted from deep underground, and the vines erupted like a spurt of oil, staining the silent night sky with a thick black veil.
Like ten thousand snakes coming out of their holes, these vines burrowed out of the ground like crazy, and even pushed out the ethereal spirits that bit them.
The vines exuded a magic as thick as ink, entangled with each other like a wall that surrounded the Guardian Tree, trapped Karn and Kai'Sa in it. Black magic surged up, forming a shield overhead, blocking the moonlight, and the walls were suddenly plunged into suffocating darkness.
In the darkness, there were dots of terrifying purple light, which was the light effect produced by the two of them covering the Void Skin Armor in its natural form.
"If these vines had intelligence, they would have killed us." Kai'Sa scanned around, looking for a breakthrough. But the creeping vine barriers were so tightly entangled with each other that not even a trace of moonlight from the outside world could penetrate it.
"We're from the Void, shouldn't they be afraid?" Karn had ejected his arm blade, which should work well for slicing vines.
"Maybe this is their last counterattack, we're fighting against the natural magic of the whole mountain, so be careful."
"Anyway, protect the Shoushengki. Fight quickly and destroy this miasma before Master Yi arrives. ”
Karn lunged at the vine wall, his twin blades slicing through the deadly arc with a single blow, slicing the wall open, and the moonlight poured down on the blade, opening up the outside world.
Although full of evil energy, these vines failed to break through the conventional limits, but were just a mass of moving plants, so they were easily cut open.
"There should be other tricks......
Karn's suspicion was confirmed, and the vine wall squirmed, and several vines flung out, slamming Karn into his body.
There was a crackling explosion, some of which were severed by Karn and fell to the ground twisted and shrunk, and some of which were blocked by the dark condensation armor of the outer layer of skin armor.
More writhing vines stretched out from the surrounding vine walls, striking at Karn.
At the same time, clumps of vines broke off the wall, twisting on the ground to form hound-like creatures, and quickly rushed towards the Shoushengki.
These little monsters lie on their stomachs on the roots of the Guardian Tree, stabbing the spikes of their tails into the roots, injecting corrupted natural magic.
"Kaisha, get rid of these monsters first!" Karn couldn't pull away, and shouted at Kai'Sa from afar.
During the struggle, he was unable to defeat his four hands with both fists, and was quietly wrapped around his ankles, then his waist, and finally his limbs by an astonishing number of vines, and he couldn't move.
The tough vines are hard to twist, and the skin is covered with blood-sucking spikes, which would definitely not survive in this situation.
But Karn had skin armor on his body.
The vines tightened tighter and tighter, and the spikes on them pierced through the gaps in the dark condensation armor, scraping against the surface of the skin, triggering its devouring instinct.
A purple fluorescent liquid oozed from the cracks in the skin armor, flowing on the vines to wrap it, and began to corrode and digest, and it was soon able to get out of trouble.
On the other side, Kai'Sa is cleaning up the vines as quickly as possible.
Somewhat troublesome, these monsters are connected to the root system of the Mori Wood through their stingers, and she can't handle multiple monsters at the same time with an explosive plasma cannon, which will cause more pollution.
All she could do was run, slashing the monsters' tail spines with the blades in her hands. I saw a streamer of light circling the tree for a few weeks, and the monsters that had been swept by collapsed one after another, crumbling and sinking into withered vines.
Maybe she didn't realize it herself, but now her actions are very similar to the one that she used to use, both of them are so fast that people can only see the afterimage.
After clearing the monsters one after another, vine tumors kept falling from the walls, and Kai'Sa noticed that the roots of the sherderwood had begun to blacken, and she could no longer let these things get close to the shouju.
It has to be done quickly.
She thought of setting fire to the vine wall, but she was worried that it would cause secondary pollution, so she had to find another way.
Returning to Karn, the half-corroded vines peeled off the surface of his body, and the vines sticking out of the wall shrank back after being cut off to prevent the void energy from infecting the subject.
The surface of the vine wall squirmed again, and a large number of vines gathered together and slapped over like waves, pushing Karn away.
Karn stood up again, and looked at the huge fist of vines in front of him, slowly retracting into the wall, his mind like electricity.
"Something must be using natural magic to control these vines, evil spirits...... Or some consciousness. ”
He shifted his vision and spied into the spiritual realm, but the vines were tightly entangled, and nothing was revealed.
"Could it be hidden inside?"
Karn rushed forward, his blade bursting with a burst of light that sliced through the protruding vine wall.
The rattan wall was split in two, and the moonlight shone in again.
But inside the wall, except for the vines, they still weep and converge again, and once again shut the moonlight out.
Karn's attempt was unsuccessful, but Kai'Sa was inspired by his actions.
She walked straight to the rattan wall, and ran at high speed against the wall.
