Chapter 178: Tongtian Vine
The trees in this forest are not very lush. Many of the trees have withered. This forest also feels dead silent. It was different from other forests that gave Jiang Feng a different feeling. When Jiang Feng really walked into the forest and observed those trees up close, he really discovered that the trees here were not just withered. Even the trees with red leaves are actually only bright on the outside. The interior is rotten and clean.
The fallen leaves in the forest are thick, and it is believed that this forest has been around for many years. Judging from some traces, there should be many monsters living in this forest. Although traces of these monsters were found, no living monsters were found. On the contrary, Jiang Feng saw the dry bones of many monsters.
He had been moving forward cautiously, and his divine sense had been dispersed far away by Jiang Feng. As long as there was the slightest sign of danger, Jiang Feng would react immediately. Slowly, Jiang Feng came to the depths of the forest. Here he also saw a large patch of dead vines. These vines stretched from a great distance, and the trees in front of me, almost every mountain were entwined with vines. The ground is also full of vines.
Some of these vines are as thick as a finger, and some are thicker than a bucket. They don't just stretch on the ground, but form a huge three-dimensional network in front of them. And where there are vines, there are many bones of monsters. Those monsters were all entangled in the vines. There are many monsters among them, and Jiang Feng has to run when he sees them.
"No wonder it's so quiet, it turns out that all the monsters in the forest have been killed by the vines. Jiang Feng said to himself.
Lan Wu appeared and looked at the tree vines in front of her with some excitement. Then she stepped forward, stopped at the vine closest to her, crouched down and touched it gently.
Lan Wu's movements were very careful, as if the vine was electrified, and she didn't dare to touch it directly. After several temptations, Lan Wu touched the vine.
"This tree and vine are all dead, what are you afraid of?, is this thing highly poisonous?" Jiang Feng came to Lan Wu's side and said with some puzzlement.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Feng also poked the vine with his finger. Without two stabs, he poked a hole in the vine. Looking at the serious rot inside the vines, Jiang Feng really didn't know what Lu Daolan was afraid of.
"What the hell are you looking for? Describe me, and I'll find it for you." Jiang Feng asked.
Lan Wu's face regained her composure, and she pointed to the vines and said, "This is what I'm looking for." Now it is necessary to go to the source of these vines. ”
"That's it, but it's dead, and it's useless. I guess even if I found the source of the vines, the vines would have died. Jiang Feng said. He became even more confused. I really don't understand what Lan Wu wants this dead tree vine to do.
Lan Wu didn't explain his doubts to Jiang Feng, but cut off a few thick trunks from a tree. The trunks were then tied together and thrown to a place where the vines were densely packed.
Due to the spiritual power of Lan Wu on the trunk of the tree, when it touched the vine, it easily broke the dead vine and continued to rush forward. But before the trunk of the tree had rushed out, Jiang Feng saw that the dead vines suddenly moved. Several vines struck at the trunk at the same time, and the bundle of trunks was entangled with great ease.
"The vine is not dead yet, is this dead appearance just an illusion used to confuse the prey?" Jiang Feng said with some surprise.
"Not exactly, the vines you see here are actually dead. But even if they die, they will attack the invaders. Anything that steps within the reach of a vine, whether living or dead, will become entangled in the vine. Once entangled, it is difficult to break free. Lan Wu said.
This made Jiang Feng feel very strange, he didn't think that there was such a plant, and after it died, it could still be defended. Is this the kind of death that does not turn a blind eye?
"Then what do you want this vine for? Jiang Feng asked.
Lan Wu shook her head and said, "I don't want these dead ones, but the source of this vine, the section of the vine that may still be alive." ”
"That means we're going in. It's a bit of a trick, and once we're entangled, we'll both be here to explain. And if the part of the vine that is still alive discovers us, won't it take the initiative to attack us? In that case, it will be even more difficult for us to get close. Jiang Feng frowned, looked at the dense withered vines in front of him and said.
"Dead vines can attack, but they are only passive defenses. This does not mean that there are really vines still alive. We just need to find a way to avoid the attack of the tree vines, and we should be able to move forward slowly. Lan Wu said.
Jiang Feng thought about it carefully, but in fact, he didn't understand it too much. Lan Wu said that she wanted to find a tree vine that was still alive, and said that there were not necessarily any tree vines alive, which seemed a bit contradictory. In addition, the tree is densely packed with vines, and it is obviously not easy to pass. After thinking about it, the only way is to force it through.
The Huangquan Sword was released by Jiang Feng, and he planned to cut down all the vines of the dead trees, so that he could cut a path. But just as he was about to make a move, Jiang Feng suddenly stopped. He looked at the vines he had touched before, frowning at what he was thinking.
A moment later, the Huangquan Sword was put away. Jiang Feng flew up and floated directly towards the place where the vines existed. After Lan Wu saw it, she hurriedly chased after her. wanted to pull Jiang Feng back, but Jiang Feng waved his hand and didn't go back with Lan Wu.
Jiang Feng, who was drifting forward, carefully avoided the vines when he encountered a tree vine blocking the way. He tried not to touch the vines. I've been dodging the vines and moving slowly.
Watching Jiang Feng keep moving forward, Lan Wu found that those tree vines did not attack Jiang Feng. She also hurriedly followed Jiang Feng's example and floated forward. After getting close to Jiang Feng, Lan Wu disappeared directly.
Jiang Feng, who was moving forward slowly, was moving forward very smoothly. Although the vines here were dense, Jiang Feng could always find a way to let him pass. These vines were indeed as Jiang Feng thought, as long as they didn't break them in large quantities, the vines wouldn't attack.
The further you go, the denser the vines become. Jiang Feng's drift was getting slower and slower. After a few hours, Jiang Feng finally came to the center of this tree and vine. Here, Jiang Feng saw a huge vine that was tens of meters thick, towering into the sky, and covered with many branches. Before looking at this tree vine, Jiang Feng never thought that there would be a tree vine that could grow so thick.
"It's also dead, I guess it's out of play. Jiang Feng looked at the huge vine in front of him and said.
Lan Wu appeared and looked at the vines in front of him. She was stunned for a moment before she said, "If this vine is still alive, then it is inside the main trunk." We need to cut the vines. ”
Jiang Feng flew around the main trunk, and he really didn't see any vines that still showed signs of life. If you think about Lan Wu, you can only see if there is still a section of vine inside the main trunk. But you have to be careful when you cut it.
At the root of the trunk, there are no branches. The tree vine in front of Jiang Feng and Lan Wu was like a thick pillar. At a height of 30 meters, a large number of branches extend out. This left a vacant land for Jiang Feng and them. Jiang Feng was also ready to hollow out the entire trunk. Because Lan Wu said that the section of the vine that is still alive is not necessarily at the root.
He plunged the Huangquan Sword into the main trunk as hard as a stone, and when he pierced all the blades of the sword, he could feel the branches of the vines trembling. Jiang Feng waited for several minutes before he controlled the Huangquan Sword to cut it little by little.
Because he was afraid of the attack of the tree vine, Jiang Feng cut very slowly, and only in this way could he paralyze the tree vine. After all, the destruction of continuous tree vines will cause the tree vines to fight back.
First dig a piece the size of the door panel from the main trunk, and then continue to dig inside, and after digging out a certain space, Jiang Feng will enter inside, and then use the first piece to plug the gap. This time, Jiang Feng, who was inside the trunk, moved a lot bigger. Those vines are going to attack him, and they can't penetrate the trunk to attack him.
After digging more than two meters further, the trunk suddenly became soft. After another meter ahead, there is no need to dig because the front is empty. After Jiang Feng entered the hollow trunk, he looked around. Soon he noticed something different. That's the only place here that still breathes of life.
Right in the center of the main trunk, there is a bulge that looks like a bamboo shoot. After Jiang Feng passed, Lan Wu immediately came out. With an excited face, she peeled off the bamboo shoot-like thing in front of her layer by layer. Inside, Jiang Feng saw a section of tree vines more than ten centimeters long, thinner than a little finger, and only a little light green. Although there are a few young leaves on this vine, the faint fluctuation of life also comes from here. But Jiang Feng really doubted that this piece of vine would survive.
"Look at your happy face, what the hell is this? Jiang Feng asked.
Lan Wu gently stroked the small piece of vine with her hand, her face full of excitement. After Jiang Feng asked for more than ten seconds, Lan Wu said, "This is Tongtian Vine." A real, alive vine. ”
