Chapter 263 - The Black-Hearted Lugh
Chapter 263: The Black-Hearted Lugh
“Bloodthirsty Hell Vine, you will be the main force this time.”
The Bloodthirsty Hell Vine appeared and directly drilled into the soil layer, rushing towards the small canyon.
This time, the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine was the absolute main force in snatching the Spirit Fruit.
Recently, who knew how many Fierce Beasts had gathered in the small canyon?
Facing a large number of Fierce Beasts, the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine could completely display its advantage in ability.
Especially in the small canyon, which was quite closed and narrow, and in an environment filled with fog, the pollen that the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine spread in the air was too easy to conceal.
The Bloodthirsty Hell Vine easily entered the fog from the ground.
A large number of Fierce Beasts had already gathered in the fog.
However, those Fierce Beasts didn’t make a move.
They all stared greedily at the Spirit Fruit in the middle of the fog and continued to wait.
The canyon wasn’t as completely sealed as Lugh had imagined.
It was still a light breeze that entered along the canyon, passed through the canyon, and blew out from the other end.
However, this light breeze couldn’t blow through the fog of the Misty Demon.
The Bloodthirsty Hell Vine found a spot where the wind was blowing, and extended a blood-colored vine from the ground. The flower buds on the vine gradually bloomed, and beautiful blood-colored flowers bloomed.
The flowers trembled slightly, and the blood-red pollen was swept into the light wind.
In the white mist, the pollen of the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine was so inconspicuous.
A Fierce Beast with a keen sense of smell sniffed, and they smelled a faint sweet fragrance.
This was the first time they had asked about this smell.
They couldn’t tell if it was an ordinary fragrance or a terrifying ability.
But it was impossible for them to leave.
Their instincts told them that the fruit in the center of the canyon was very important.
As long as they ate it, they would gain a lot of benefits.
The Stormhawk flew on top of the clouds.
Its sharp eagle eyes pierced through the fog and illusions, staring at the Spirit Fruit that was about to mature.
Lugh sat on the back of the Stormhawk with a solemn expression.
Behind him, the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly was ready to take its position.
Beside the Spirit Fruit, there were many powerful Platinum beasts.
Magic Gold Hunting Wolves, Azure Eagle, Thousand Clouds Flowing Wind Crane, Troll Ape…
Almost all of them had the strength of Platinum Top-tier.
The beasts that didn’t have powerful strength could only stand behind them.
They stared at the Spirit Fruit with greedy eyes.
As the Spirit Fruit gradually ripened, the last green spot on the fruit was about to disappear.
The Stormhawk swooped down from the sky toward the small canyon.
Its black body instantly turned golden, and its body was wrapped in a storm shield that was getting thicker and thicker.
At the same time, in the fog of the canyon, the bloody vines of the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine shook.
In the canyon, many fierce beasts that were waiting for the Spirit Fruit to ripen and ready to fight for it suddenly felt a sharp pain in their bodies.
Bang!
Bang!
…
They fell one after another.
They fell to the ground and rolled on the ground in pain.
A small number of Fierce Beasts that were not affected retreated in panic.
They just wanted to get away from those Fierce Beasts that were rolling on the ground.
This was the instinctive reaction of the creatures.
Even the few Giant Demon Apes and Magic Gold Hunting Wolves that were closest to the Spirit Fruit also fell.
The other Platinum-tier Fierce Beasts retreated one after another, vigilantly looking at their surroundings.
It was also at this moment that the Stormhawk descended from the sky.
All the Platinum-tier Fierce Beasts that were not infested by the Bloodthirsty Hell Vines were about to attack the Stormhawk.
“Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly.”
Spirit Control was activated.
A Magic Gold Hunting Wolf jumped out, using its huge body to help the Stormhawk block almost all the damage skills.
A Thousand Clouds Flowing Wind Crane stood among the group of Platinum-level beasts and flapped its wings. With a violent storm, it blew all the Platinum-level beasts around it to the side.
Some of the smaller beasts were directly blown away.
It was also at this time that the Spirit Fruit matured.
The Stormhawk stretched out its sharp claws and cut off the Spirit Fruit. It grabbed the main trunk of the spirit vine and dragged the seven red Spirit Fruits. It flapped its wings and jumped high into the sky again.
Five Platinum-grade flying-type beasts followed closely behind.
All of this happened in a flash. Before the surrounding beasts could react, the Spirit Fruit was snatched away by Lugh.
Seeing that five Platinum-grade beasts were chasing after him, Lugh did not feel nervous.
The Spirit Fruit was in his hands.
The most crucial step of the plan had already been completed.
In his opinion, it was more practical to use the Stormhawk’s speed to snatch the Spirit Fruit.
If he were to directly attack it, it would also damage the unripe Spirit Fruit.
Fortunately, the time of the Stormhawk was just right.
At this moment, Lugh heard a scream.
He turned around and saw two Wind Cloud Eagles behind him. One of the Thousand Clouds Flowing Wind Crane’s eyes suddenly exploded.
Pink bloodthirsty vines started to grow out of their bloody eye sockets.
“Stormhawk, this is a good opportunity. Kill them!”
The three severely injured and blind Platinum-grade flying-type beasts were just three living targets. They were soon killed by the Stormhawk’s wind blades.
Next, the remaining two Platinum-grade beasts were temporarily controlled by the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly and died under the wind blades.
The other one, which was slightly weaker, was directly killed by the Stormhawk using its sharp wings.
After dealing with the pursuers, Lugh stored the seven bright red Spirit Fruit in a jade box and kept them well.
[Ding! You have snatched the seven Spirit Fruit. Mission completed.]
Lugh ignored the system notification and looked towards the direction of the canyon.
The white fog above the canyon had already dissipated quite a bit.
From time to time, there would be Gold-tier and Platinum-tier beasts escaping from the canyon.
Some of the beasts had really escaped.
Lugh noticed that most of the beasts that had truly escaped were rare elemental-type beasts.
He could hear the notification of the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine being killed and gaining experience points.
If this continued, the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine might quickly rise to Platinum Middle-tier.
“Let’s go as well.”
The Stormhawk and the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly nodded.
Lugh did not feel guilty at all about snatching the experience from the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine.
The Stormhawk brought Lugh and the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly to the sky above the canyon. Lugh directly jumped from the sky towards a gap in the terrain of the small canyon.
He had already noticed that there were the most Fierce Beasts that had escaped from this place.
After jumping down, he noticed that the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly had closed its wings and used its six legs to tightly hug Lugh’s back.
With one kick, he landed on a solid mountain rock. The ground trembled and countless Fierce Beasts were bounced up.
Lugh was unarmed. Almost every punch was able to blow up a Fierce Beast.
Even a Platinum-grade Fierce Beast would find it difficult to withstand two of his punches.
After killing more than twenty Fierce Beasts in a row, the Fierce Beasts that wanted to escape from this gap began to cower. They began to change their direction and run towards the other gaps.
Although the other gaps in the canyon were steep, it was not as if they could not walk.
Lugh was very strong and his speed was not bad. However, chasing and killing was not his advantage.
“Can you let them come over?”
Lugh asked the Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly, and the butterfly nodded.
An obscure spiritual fluctuation spread out.
Those Fierce Beasts quickly swarmed towards another relatively flat gap. However, they had just run a few steps towards that gap, and as if they had seen some terrifying Fierce Beasts. They retreated one by one, then changed their direction and rushed towards Lugh.
“What did you let them see?”
Lugh asked curiously.
The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly replied, “It’s you, Master.”
“Am I that scary?”
The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly nodded seriously. “That big bear is super scary.”
“What about them? They don’t seem to be able to see me!”
“Five Senses Illusion. Master, don’t worry. They can’t see you. I will cooperate with you. In their eyes, every dead beast was killed by the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine.”
The Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic Butterfly said in a low voice, “However, I suggest that Master kill a Platinum-rank beast on a limited basis. Hallucinating their five senses will consume a lot of my energy.”
“Okay, no problem.”
If he killed using the Berserk Bear with one punch, the other beasts would not even look at Lugh. They would only slightly avoid the position of the corpse.
The effect of the Five Senses Illusion was quite good.
As they fought to the back, fewer and fewer beasts ran out. Lugh also began to kill his way into the canyon.
Sometimes, when he encountered a beast that had just been parasitized by the Bloodthirsty Hell Vine, Lugh would also give it a quick death.
Only Lugh could snatch the experience points of his pet.
