Thorn vine world.

This is a small world dominated by vines and plants, and it belongs to the same small world group as the Ishihara realm, which is also known as the "Lushan Realm Group".

Just three days ago.

Using the law projection string given by her master, the cat Meow made a cross-border trip alone, leaving the Ishihara realm and descending to this realm.

At this time.

Cat-eared Lady is walking lightly, shuttling through a vine forest, looking around with a new face.

According to her previous knowledge, vines either cling to trees or climbing to stone walls to grow, and it is impossible to grow too tall without support.

This time.

What she is witnessing now has completely changed her perception.

I saw thick vines, tightly entangled, easily rising to a height of 100 meters in a spiral upward way.

The diameter of this "spiral pipe" is generally more than 20 meters at the bottom, and the diameter gradually decreases as the spiral pipe gradually rises.

The inside of the spiral pipe, not empty, has a rather complex structure, which strengthens the overall strength of the vine tree.

Despite the lack of a tough wooden skeleton to support it, the vines still reach a height comparable to that of an arbor due to their delicate structure.

Besides.

The surface of each vine is covered with hard, sharp spikes.

This is undoubtedly a means of defense.

If an animal accidentally bumps into it, it will definitely be poked with blood holes all over its body.

Not only this vine tree, but most of the vines in this realm are covered with spikes.

The cat meow walks in it, as if entering the land of giants.

She looked around for a moment and exclaimed, "This plant is really a genius architect!" ”

Took a few more steps.

Cat Ear Niang suddenly stopped, stretched out a white tender finger, and poked a vine tree next to her in the air.

"Smack!"

A large hole half a meter in diameter burst out of the surface of the vine in an instant.

Subsequently.

The strength attached to this finger spread to the entire vine tree.

The spiral trunk, which was more than 150 meters high, shook violently.

At the very top of the trunk, the swing was even more than twenty meters, and it seemed that it could fall down at any moment.

"Wow~"

The vine blades rub against each other, making a wave-like sound.

But.

This vine tree stubbornly resisted the toss of external forces.

It shook violently for a while, but it still stood firmly.

The kitten lady glanced up and muttered, "It's even stronger than Ben Meow expected!" ”

She didn't stay long, and walked quickly forward, quickly disappearing into the vine forest.

It's time to do that.

The vine tree, which had been tormented, seemed to come to life and moved all at once.

The spiral vines disintegrated and burrowed into the ground like snakes.

After just a dozen breaths.

A large tree was missing, leaving only a large number of bones in its place.

They were kept inside the spiral pipes, and the vines were revealed when they retracted into the ground.

Look closely.

The surface of each bone has a large number of corrosion marks, which seem to have been eroded by excessive acid.

Obviously.

It's a forest of vines that eat meat and drink blood.

And these strange trees formed by vines are not harmless creatures of humans and animals, but a group of fierce hunters.

The other side.

Meow glanced back.

She had already sensed that the vanished vine tree had popped up in another place.

Cat-Eared Lady muttered in a low voice, "What an interesting forest." ”

This is clearly a forest that "can move freely".

If attacked, or for hunting, vine trees can quickly move to other locations.

This peculiar characteristic can't help but make the little cat mother have a feeling of eye-opening.

As the owner's most loyal maid, the cat meow immediately reported her personal feelings to the owner:

"Thanks to the master for giving the projection string, Ben Meow can see such a unique scenery."

No response.

The cat meow pursed her lips.

She knew that the master was tired of listening to her own sycophants, so she didn't bother to take care of it.

The cat-eared lady was not discouraged, and reported the matter of the vine forest: "Master, Ben Meow found a vine in the thorn vine world......"

She spoke at length and recounted in detail what she had just discovered.

This time.

The kitten mother finally waited for the owner's response: "This thing has a certain research value, maybe you can learn from it, you go and collect some samples." ”

She wagged her tail proudly, and muttered in her heart: "Ben Meow knows that this trick must have an effect on the master." ”

Cat Meow responded excitedly: "Understood! ”

She then asked a question: "Master, do the various vines in the Thorn Vine Realm have the potential to fight against the Havoc Swarm?" ”

Cheng Han pondered for a few seconds before replying, "They can cause a certain amount of damage to the insect swarm, but they will definitely be devoured by the insects in the end." ”

The kitten lady let out an "oh" in disappointment.

She very much hopes that she will be able to make another big discovery.

Just like the discovery of the Giant Stone Forest in the Stone Plains Realm before, he helped the master successfully ignite the law divine fire and provided more help to the master.

Cat Meow immediately became excited again: "This meow will carefully investigate this realm to find species that have the potential to fight against the catastrophic insect swarm. ”

Cheng Han gave an approving "um".

Subsequently.

The link was broken.

Cat Ear Niang waved her little fist vigorously and said self-motivated: "Ben Meow has to come on!" ”

She dodged and disappeared from the vine forest in an instant.

Only a faint gray glow was left in the place, hanging in the air and circulating, and faint dark fluctuations surged up from it.

Subsequently.

Within a radius of one kilometer.

I saw vine trees, the surface of which gradually became gray-white patches, and the texture also changed subtly, looking a bit like stone.

Gray-white patches are like viruses that spread rapidly to other areas.

Thirty seconds later.

From head to toe, these vine trees have turned gray and white, and the vine skin, spikes, and leaves have all turned stony.

It's not just the appearance that has changed.

Even the vegetative scent of plants has disappeared, replaced by the coldness of rocks.

In other words.

They literally turned into rocks.

There used to be a small noise in the woods, such as the rubbing of green leaves and the soft chirping of insects, but now it was as quiet as a dead field.

On the edge of the dead domain.

"Poof!"

Just hear a soft sound.

A thin vine suddenly emerged from the ground and accidentally broke into the Dead Realm.

The next moment.

A mutation has occurred.

The surface of this vine suddenly appeared a gray white, and then spread rapidly.

Sensing that something was wrong, the vines quickly shrank underground, trying to escape the area.

However.

Too late.

Only a few moments passed.

The vine turned into a stone vine, and the pestle lay motionless on the ground.

But.

It's not over.

The grayish-white color slowly spread towards a wider area like a plague.

All the vines that were contaminated turned to stone in a short period of time.

The weirdest thing is that even if the vine tree senses the danger and takes the initiative to cut off the gray vine, it still doesn't help.

The rest of the vine tree turned gray one after another, and then the whole vine tree turned into a stone sculpture

Five minutes flew by.

The vine forest with a radius of 50 kilometers has completely turned into a strange stone forest.

And then.

The grayish-white color, which symbolizes death, has finally slowed down.

The vine trees in the distance, sensing that something was wrong, disintegrated and moved to other places.

View from the sky.

There was a wave of "migration" in this forest.

Between the petrified forest and the vine forest, there is a clear separation zone, and the area has been growing rapidly.

The other side.

Through a secret method, the cat Meow observed the changes in the vine forest.

The little cat mother wagged her tail excitedly, with a look of amazement: "The divine power given by the master is so powerful!" ”

Previously, Cheng Han successfully ignited the law divine fire, so he gave a wisp of divine fire and handed it over to Mao Er Niang to test the power of the divine fire.

It's a necessity.

From igniting the Divine Fire to condensing the Divine Element, it is not only a process of refining oneself, but also a process of exploring the origin of the Divine Fire and then clarifying the path of the Divine Seal.

Since it is "exploration", it is inevitable to try a lot and cause sabotage everywhere.

And a mere ray of divine power turned a large area of forest into a stone forest, and this kind of power far exceeded the Xuandu level, and steadily reached the level of gods.

Cat-eared Niang experienced the power of divine power for the first time, and of course she was very excited.

This moment.

The cat meow watched the large gray spread, and suddenly muttered, "No wonder the owner named it 'Gray and White Plague'." ”

She didn't understand too much just now, it was obviously the divine power of the stone spirit system, why was it called "plague"?

Now that she fully understood, she felt that the name was too apt.

Cat Ear Niang thought for a while, and sent another message to her master: "Master, from today onwards, Ben Meow is your plague messenger. ”

Still no response.

The kitten lady didn't care.

She crossed her hands on her hips and meowed happily: "Ben Meow is a powerful plague messenger!" ”

*

The first appearance of the Gray Plague was like a stone falling to the surface of the water, and soon set off a series of events.

Half a day later.

A group of six-legged creatures, clad in spiked vine armor, quickly made their way through the vine forest, cautiously approaching the barrier.

They are none other than the intelligent race of the Thorn Vine Realm, the Vine Monsters.

The most famous trait of vine monsters is not how powerful they are, but how they reproduce.

Although they are flesh and blood creatures, they are not viviparous or oviparous.

Rather, it's grown.

It's like planting trees and grass.

After the male vine monster and the female vine monster have done unspeakable things, the latter can discharge multiple life vine species.

This vine seed has the same characteristics as a seed, and if you plant it in the soil and then water it regularly and fertilize it, the vine seed will become a vine monster tree.

The newborn vine monster will begin to give birth in the center of the trunk.

After about a year, when the vine monster reaches its juvenile stage, it will wake up and break through the trunk of the tree to emerge.

Furthermore.

The vine monsters are a rather cruel and murderous race, and the "fertilizer" they provide to the vine seeds is often living creatures.

Once captured, these prey are buried alive under the vine monster tree, revealing only one head.

The roots of the vine monster tree will burrow into the prey, greedily sucking the flesh of the prey.

Prey usually does not die immediately, but endures extreme pain for a few days to a dozen days before swallowing its last breath.

At this moment.

A vine monster at the head stood outside the barrier, observing the petrified forest with four eyes.

A few seconds passed.

The leader of the vine monster suddenly moved.

"Woo~"

It let out a strange hissing sound from its mouth, and an extraordinary wave surged through its body.

"Poof! Burst! ”

Dozens of black thorn vines broke through the ground in an instant, only entangled five vine monsters.

There was a slight commotion in the vine monster group immediately, but it subsided immediately.

The bound vine monsters had a look of fear in their eyes, but they didn't have the courage to resist at all.

Because the vine monsters are a very tyrannical race.

It is not uncommon for the upper vine monsters to use brutal methods against the lower vine monsters.

"Woo~"

The leader of the vine monsters shouted again, as if issuing orders.

Subsequently.

It waved its arm hard.

A dozen vines swung violently, like throwing stones, and threw them into the petrified forest.

The five vine monsters flew more than a hundred meters in the air and smashed heavily into the barrier.

Originally, it was a soft muddy ground with nutrient-rich humus.

However, due to the Grey Plague, a large number of rocks have sprung up in the area.

Several vine monsters stood up, a little frightened, not daring to enter the petrified forest.

With the primordial instincts of life, they had sensed that there was a terrible force lingering in the petrified forest.

The vine leader's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his thick right hand was slightly raised.

A green light flashed, and a sharp rattan spear suddenly appeared in its hand.

The leader waved his right hand vigorously, and the rattan spear flashed away, and with a terrible whistling sound, it struck a vine monster like lightning.

"Bang!"

The vine monster exploded.

This is an explosion in the physical sense.

The dark green rattan shell, mixed with a large number of pieces of flesh and blood, covered a large area, and flew more than fifty meters away.

No doubt.

This is done as a warning - if you don't move forward, you die!

The other four vine monsters were frightened, and hurriedly ran to the gray forest on six legs, lest they fall behind and be killed by the leader.

Ten seconds later.

These test specimens successfully passed through the isolation zone and officially entered the petrochemical forest.

They are very cautious, always walking around petrified trees, never approaching any of them, and moving as slowly as a snail.

The leader roared a little annoyed, and opened his mouth to urge: "Woo~"

This is to order them to speed up and go deeper into the petrified forest as quickly as possible to get a preliminary survey of what's going on inside.

The four vine monsters did not dare to disobey, so they had to speed up their pace and enter the depths of the forest.

A quarter of an hour later.

The test is back.

The leader then led the people into the forest and searched in detail for the cause of the appearance of the petrified forest.

Unfortunately, they found nothing.

Three hours later.

The chieftain returned to his tribe with a group of men.

That night.

A big riot took place.

The thousands of vine monsters of the entire tribe were all horrified to find that gray and white patches had emerged from their bodies, which were slowly spreading.

Late at night.

The tribe was completely silent.

The vine monsters have all been transformed into vivid stone sculptures.

The above scene.

All fell into the eyes of the cat meow.

The cat-eared lady snorted disdainfully: "The vine monster who doesn't know whether to live or die, dare to take refuge in the catastrophic insect swarm, can't Ben Meow recognize your breath?" ”

She sighed a little worriedly: "The power of the insect swarm has actually penetrated into this realm, and it is estimated that this realm group will soon break out into a big war." ”
