Chapter 65: The Demon King and the Weak Demon Vine
The magic vines that came like a tide covered the sky and the sun, making Green feel an indescribable pressure.
"Oh! Damn it! Green instantly activated the reinforcement, jumped out of the carriage, and quickly retreated, "I kind of regret that I rushed overnight. β
Green's reaction speed is very fast! But the other two girls didn't have the speed of Grimm.
In the next instant, the tide-like magic vines directly crushed the carriage, which was not very strong! At the same time, some of the vines wrapped around Sokumon and the two girls like tentacles.
"Wow! ~Help me! The tavern girl Alyssa screamed, clutching the vine on her lap.
The magic vine wrapped around the girl's leg like a tentacle, and climbed up along the leg.
"Don't! No! Don't! The girl struggled in horror, but the vine still crawled coldly on the girl.
"Let me go!" Natalie slashed at a vine with the short sword on her waist.
However, in the face of the soft and tough demon vine, the short sword only slashed in half, and then it was stuck.
In the face of Natalie's resistance, the demon vine did not retreat at all, but wrapped around Natalie with a more fierce attack.
"Woo! ~Damn it! β
The magic vine climbed up the girl's skin, tied the girls' hands and feet, and tightly strangled the girl's delicate body, and some of the magic vines went deep under the clothes along the gaps in the clothes, ravaging the soft skin of the girls. The girls' struggles are getting weaker......
"Don't ...... Don't ......" Alyssa has completely lost the power to resist, and can only let the demon vine wreak havoc on her.
Outside the carriage. Green stood outside the vine's attack range and watched the terrible scene in front of him.
After turning on the dark vision, Green was able to see the whole picture of the magic vine very clearly.
In the darkness, Thousand Shadows stood in front of Grimm, cutting the vines they tried to approach into small pieces as if they were cutting fruit.
"It's a bit of a hassle......" Green glanced at Chikage, then shifted his attention to the magic vine, "Identification!" β

Parasitic Vine: A mutated parasitic vine that likes to capture prey and parasitize its seeds under the skin of its prey. Because the binding force of the parasitic magic vine is moderate, it will maintain a delicate balance that makes people unable to move, but it will not be uncomfortable, so it is loved by some special people.

Comprehensive Combat Power Evaluation: Black Iron Rank, Challenge Level 9
ββββ
Challenge Level 9, Black Iron Rank, no supernatural strength. It stands to reason that the weak Demon Vine is no threat in front of the legendary powerhouse. In fact, the demon vine really can't help the powerful battle maid, but even if Chikage can cut off a large number of vines, the demon vine's health bar does not fluctuate at all.
Plant monsters are very disgusting, and the magic vine is the best among the plant monsters! Unlike living creatures, magic vines don't have a "vital point", and it's impossible to actually kill them unless they are uprooted. Of course, adventurers don't need to actually kill it, they just need to cut down its vines.
As if playing "Ninja Fruit", Chikage chops down the magic vine to pieces.
The demon vine also seemed to sense that Thousand Shadows was not to be messed with, and finally began to retreat, but it did not intend to let go of the prey it had already obtained. Alyssa, Natalie, and Sokumon, who was pulling the cart, were being dragged deep into the forest by the vines.
Chikage looked indifferently at what was happening in front of her, and didn't rush to save them. In Chikage's eyes, except for the owner, other creatures are all objects that need to be guarded - it's already good if you don't cut them, how can you take the initiative to save them?
Green didn't rush forward eitherβthe vine was parasitic and didn't kill its prey right away. Therefore, Green stood in place, concentrating on identifying the demon vine and analyzing the information using the virtual godhead.
[Identification] collects information about the target. The longer you focus, the more intelligence you gather, and the intelligence you gain is analyzed by the virtual godhead, and finally the data and results are fed back to Green at a glance. In terms of function, the "Virtual Godhead (Pseudo)" is very similar to the brain chip, but the function is more advanced than those smart chips on the earth.
After a few seconds of focused identification, Green finally got the information he wanted.
There are three roots of this magic vine!
"Found it!" Green quickly removed the Poison Dragon Bow from his back, "Shoot intensively!" β
Green instantly strengthened his strength, agility, and perception, three shot-related attributes.
Aim!
Shoot!
The acid arrows flew straight towards the location of the vine's rhizome.
"Smack! ~β
"ε²~"
The area hit by the acid arrow emitted a cacophony of corrosion. The Devil's tough skin and resistance to heat and cold make it defenseless against acid arrows.
The battered vine went crazy, retracting its vine as if it were mad.
Immediately after, Grimm's next acid arrow flew again!
"ε²~"
Green completely ignored the movements of the magic vine and stared at the point where the rhizome of the magic vine was, shooting arrows!
The strong skin of the demon vine can ignore ordinary arrows, but it is as fragile as tofu in the face of corrosive acid arrows. Even if it tries to block it with vines, it makes no sense in the face of pervasive acid.
Ten acid arrows shot out, as if pouring a bucket of concentrated sulfuric acid on the root of the magic vine, and the magic vine completely lost its movement.
After making sure that the vine was dead, Green looked at the two girls lying on the ground, paralyzed, and Sokumon.
"Are you alright?" Green walked over and pulled them out of the crushed carriage.
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, we'd be in trouble......" Natalie thanked.
"Should have rested in the city for the night and waited until dawn before setting out. It's too dangerous to travel overnight. Green sighed.
"It's all my fault." The tavern girl's mood was a little low, "If it weren't for my hurry to leave, this wouldn't have happened." β
Green: "Reflect and wait until you get to a safe place before you think about it, it's still ...... Let's camp first! At least we're not short of firewood right now. β
The carriage was no longer usable, but the wood left behind was ready-made fuel.
Soon, a campfire was lit.
After eating a little dry food and assigning the vigil, the two maidens leaned on Sokumon, covered with blankets, and fell into a deep sleep.
Next to the campfire, Green took the magic vine, deducted some parasitic seeds from it, and tasted it.
"Bitter." Green cried and swallowed the bitten parasite, "It's not delicious." β
Plant monsters are worthy of the famous "Black Five" in the game, and there is no loot after killing them. If you can, Grimm would rather face a dragon than a plant-based monster - dragon slaying is risky, but the reward is also high, and once you succeed, you will get rich instantly! And plant-based monsters are not only difficult to deal with, but the benefits after killing are almost zero.
Throwing a piece of magic vine into the campfire, Green raised his head and looked at the night sky.
The shadow under Green's body flickered, and the original inky shadow faded in color. Immediately afterward, there was a flapping of wings in the forest, and the otherwise quiet forest seemed to be noisy......
After a while, the forest was quiet again.
Greene: "Thank you. β
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Chikage's voice sounded a little tired.
"Come, let's eat."
"Hmm~"
A pair of slender arms hugged Green from behind, and his head rested on Green's shoulder, and Chikage had a satisfied expression on his face......
