Chapter 12: Plants of Terror

Before hunting the Scaly Beast, Ye Xi had to make a very important preparation to ensure that nothing went wrong.

After climbing down the tree, he quickly ran to the east.

Most of the soul beasts that Ye Xi has devoured these days are herbivorous soul beasts that are good at escaping, so most of the abilities given to him are related to running, some are tenacious endurance for long-distance running, some are powerful explosive power for short sprints, and more flexible ability to toss and turn quickly in complex terrain.

This makes Ye Xi not only the strongest panda, but also the fastest and most flexible panda ever!

Rub and rub......

A black and white round figure shuttles through the forest at a high speed with incredible agility, like a cheetah galloping through the grassland.

Everywhere he passed, the beasts fled, the birds flew away, the ghost tiger was not at home, and the panda was the king.

In just a few minutes, Ye Xi had already run more than three kilometers and gradually stopped under a towering cliff.

He had already discovered the purpose of his trip.

Beneath the cliff is a secluded paradise with a stream cascading down from above, forming a slender waterfall like a silver ribbon and forming a small crystal clear pool at the bottom of the cliff.

The moss is everywhere next to the waterhole, the wild fruits are thick, and the ancient vines are entrenched, which is full of different charms, which is very suitable for the literati to live in seclusion.

But in fact, it's not as rosy as it seems.

In the depths of the grass, scattered with the hair, scales, and armor of various soul beasts, where moss and fungi take root, there are all broken white bones stacked on top of each other, and looking towards the bottom of the pool, you can faintly see the outlines of some corpses......

This is clearly an out-and-out fierce land!

And the initiator of all this is the large green vine that grows on the cliff to the left side of the waterhole.

This is a plant-based soul beast - Oni Vine.

The vines of this plant are full of spikes, with extremely strong toxins, one is accidentally stabbed by the stinger, and the poison spreads all over the body, even if it is a hundred-year-old soul beast, it will die violently in a short period of time, turning into the nourishment of the ghost vine.

The target of Ye Xi's trip is this terrifying plant!

He had passed by here two days ago, and after learning about its power from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he avoided this place.

He did covet the poison of those highly poisonous soul beasts, but he still didn't dare to joke with his own life and try to devour and absorb them.

But when hunting scales, the ghost vine is indispensable.

"Rushing ......"

Ye Xi moved his two black short legs, and cautiously approached the ghost vine.

He came to a strange rock by the waterhole with ghost vines clinging to it.

Seeing that the ghost vine didn't make any movement, Ye Xi was overjoyed, and immediately waved his sharp bear claws and slashed towards the thick vine on the strange rock.

"Boom!"

As soon as this claw fell, the stones below cracked in the cluster of sparks, and the debris flew out, but the vine itself was not completely separated, and several vine tendons were still connected.

"Good guy, the toughness is so strong, it's more exaggerated than a lone bamboo!"

Ye Xi hurriedly waved his claws again, preparing to cut it off completely.

But at this moment, there was a faint sound among the grass under his feet.

Ye Xi's sense of hearing was extremely keen, and his two dark round ears fanned slightly, and he noticed the abnormality under his feet.

"Not good!"

He immediately turned the bear's paw into a grasp, grabbed the vine that was about to break on the strange rock, and did not stay for a moment, but turned and galloped away in the direction from which he had come.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ye Xicai rushed out three or five meters, and several turquoise vines that twisted and twisted like poisonous snakes sprang out from the position where he was standing, circling and entwining together in an instant.

It is conceivable that if Ye Xi had taken a step slower just now, he would have been bound by these terrible vines!

Although his body is rough and thick, the spikes of the ghost vine are difficult to pierce easily.

However, Ye Xi's mouth, nose, eyes and other parts are still relatively fragile, as long as the ghost vine can control his movements, the poison will sooner or later enter his body, making him a dry bone here!

Fortunately, he still realized that he had successfully escaped.

And taking advantage of the huge force that erupted when he ran wildly, the vine that he grabbed in the bear's paw finally completely tore apart and broke with the body of the ghost vine, and became his trophy.

Ye Xi held this five- or six-meter-long vine and rushed to the river, preparing to start a plan to hunt the scale beast.

However, before he had run far, he suddenly felt a strong tingling sensation on his arm, like a few fleas, and when he looked down, he found that a small green plant had grown on his arm at some point.

Judging from its color and spike characteristics, this is clearly a seedling of a ghost vine!

It was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time it was stretching and winding towards Ye Xi's body.

"Parasitic seeds!" Ye Xi exclaimed.

The Oni Vine has the natural ability to scatter extremely small seeds when it attacks, and once the seeds come into contact with the enemy's body, they will parasitize on the opponent's body, absorbing nutrients to sprout and release toxins, which is difficult to prevent.

Although the root system that grows from the ghost vine seeds is also unable to pierce Ye Xi's flesh and absorb his flesh and blood as nutrients.

But it can catalyze its own growth and development by absorbing the soul power that escapes from Ye Xi's body.

"What an annoying guy!"

Ye Xi didn't dare to let this guy grow savagely on him, so he tore it off with a wave of his bear paw and threw it aside in disgust.

The newly grown ghost vine is still relatively tender and weak, and the length and strength are not at all enough, so it is of little use to him.

"Sure enough, rough skin and thick flesh are beneficial, and many deadly soul beasts can't help me because of this."

Ye Xi thought to herself.

For a moment, he was a little more expectant of the abilities that the scaly beast could bring him, and the speed of his journey suddenly became a little faster, and he quickly left here.

The juvenile ghost vine was not mobile, and after Ye Xi left, it had to take root on the spot and coil the vine on a sapling adjacent to it.

Perhaps, in tens or hundreds of years, this place will become a murderous place full of corpses, just like the cliff waterhole not far from here......

……

After a while, Ye Xi had already come to the river again, squatting in the dense bushes and watching the scene ahead.

A group of scaly-armored beasts were still lying scattered on the riverbank as usual, lazily basking in the sun, with large mouths, allowing a ten-year soul beast called the Signature Sparrow to fly into their mouths and peck at the food scraps between their sharp teeth.

They didn't notice that a chubby "evil" soul beast was looking at them maliciously not far away.
