Chapter 690: Happily Ate More
Yun Chujiu and An Feng, who was just missed by Liu Qian, walked into a dense forest.
This dense forest was truly a “Dense” forest. Tall trees blotted out the sky and the sun, and many vines grew on them. Even though it was daytime, only a little bit of sunlight penetrated through the gaps between the vines and the leaves. Fortunately, Yun Chujiu had the Illuminating Pearl with her, which was hung on her chest to illuminate the place.
It was inevitable for people to feel uneasy when they walked in such a dense forest. They were afraid that a demon beast would jump out from somewhere.
Yun Chujiu carefully walked in with a rolling pin in her hand, while An Feng followed behind her to keep an eye on the surrounding situation.
“An Feng, something is wrong. Why haven’t we encountered any demon beasts?”
“Miss Jiu, I’m afraid this place is a little strange. You must be careful.”
Before An Feng could finish his sentence, a strange sound came from underground. It was as if something was running around beneath them. Yun Chujiu and An Feng were startled. They subconsciously jumped onto the trees nearby to hide.
However, before Yun Chujiu could stand still, the vines suddenly turned into poisonous snakes and wrapped around her.
An Feng was in the same situation. The vines here were densely packed, and before he could react, he was already wrapped up like a rice dumpling.
An Feng’s heart sank. This was bad! The vines wrapped tighter and tighter, and he could not break free at all. Moreover, his hands were wrapped up, and he could not form seals or use his spiritual power. What should he do?
At that moment, Yun Chujiu and An Feng finally understood what the underground noise was. It was a trap to let make them jump up the trees to avoid it. Then, these vines would capture them. It was probably the roots of these vines underground. These vines were really cunning.
Just as An Feng was worrying, two middle-aged men walked over from not far away. When they saw Yun Chujiu and An Feng tied to the tree, the two of them looked at each other and laughed out loud.
“These two idiots still think that anyone can brave the Chimeric Plains? They entered the Spirit Sapping Forest without first investigating it. They’re simply walking to their deaths!”
“That’s right! However, this is a good thing for us. These Spirit Sapping Vines only absorb people’s spirit energy. Without their spirit energy, killing them will be effortless. Their storage rings will be ours! That fool seems to have an Illuminating Pearl hanging on her chest. Good boy, that’s a valuable piece of treasure.”
“You’re right! This is my favorite kind of deal. One that doesn’t involve any effort! Those vines will secrete an extremely corrosive mucus in a moment In less than an hour, their spiritual power will be completely absorbed!”
The two of them happily chatted and laughed. They did not care about the noise underground. Those vines could only be used on those who jumped onto the tree, but they could not do anything to those who were on the ground. Therefore, the two of them crossed their arms and watched Yun Chujiu and An Feng make a fool of themselves.
An Feng thought for a long time but could not come up with any good ideas. His hands and feet were tightly bound, and even though he had many abilities, he would not be able to use them. He could only seize the opportunity before his spiritual power was completely absorbed and use his spiritual power to break the vines.
An Feng was frowning as he tried to break the vines bit by bit when he heard a cracking sound. He saw Yun Chujiu, who was on the tree next to him, bite the vines.
The two people below were stunned at first, then they burst into laughter. They were so happy that tears were about to fall!
“F*ck! Where did this idiot come from?! Does he think that these are ordinary vines? These Spirit Sapping Vines are poisonous. If he does that, he’ll die faster.”
“Isn’t it better to die faster?! We can leave this Spirit Sapping Vine forest before dark after we loot their storage rings.”
Just as the two of them were talking happily, they heard a series of cracking sounds. When they looked up, they saw that not only was the young man not dead, but he happily ate more of the vines…
