Chapter 129 The Dodder of the Apocalyptic Powerhouse 15

"squeak--"

Just as we rounded the bend, the car came to a sudden stop.

"Old Shen, do you even know how to drive?!" Cheng Yan lost his balance and was slammed hard against the back of the seat in front of him by the inertia.

Jiang Yufeng, who had been resting with his eyes closed in the back row, opened them: "What's wrong?"

Shen Yanke frowned as he looked at the tree trunk blocking the middle of the road: "The road is blocked, and it's inconvenient to drive. Shall we get out of the car first?"

The five of them set off early in the morning, planning to take the mountain trails that had previously been used for transportation, and reach the border of H City in two hours.

I was driving along just fine when a dead tree suddenly appeared blocking the road.

The tree trunk was entwined with vines, and the roots were irregularly broken, as if they had been forcibly snapped off by something.

Ye Shuwan's mental energy had been in a state of relaxation the whole time, and she always felt that something was wrong along the way.

There seemed to be an unusual energy fluctuation, quietly following their car.

However, it seemed rather clever, carefully concealing its tracks, and the car was driving fast, so she couldn't determine what it was.

Now, it seems she has found it.

vine.

Qi Qi's voice rang out at the same time:

[Wanwan, this is a level three mutated vine, be careful!]

A determined glint flashed in Ye Shuwan's eyes:

(What are the weaknesses?)

After absorbing the energy from this mutated plant, her mental abilities will likely reach level four!

To get close to its true form and extract its energy source, we need to go there, but its true form isn't here.

Ye Shuwan made up her mind and followed the other four, pretending to casually approach the vines by the tree.

Her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and Jiang Yufeng pulled her closer to him, his expression wary: "Everyone be careful! Be on guard."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Shuwan's foot suddenly got tangled in vines, and she lost her balance: "Ah—"

Jiang Yufeng was already on guard, and the moment she fell to the ground, he shielded her in his arms.

The vines moved incredibly fast; before anyone could react, the two were pulled into the deep forest and disappeared without a trace.

Cheng Yan scratched his head anxiously: "What should we do? What was that thing? I hope nothing bad has happened to Brother Yu and Xiao Ye!"

Shen Yanke wasn't particularly worried. He knew Jiang Yufeng's strength and that he should be able to protect himself in the short term.

However, he will definitely protect Ye Shuwan, and over time, oversights are inevitable.

So we need to get there as soon as possible. Fortunately, each of them carries a GPS tracker: "They disappeared in this direction just now, Lao He, can you pinpoint their exact location?"

He Sihuai looked at the small red dot on the tablet in his hand, then lifted his foot and walked in a certain direction: "Follow me."

……

On the other side, the two were pulled back to their original bodies by the vines.

Its body was entangled on an ancient tree, with vines as thick as an adult's waist tightly wrapped around the trunk, and countless branches sprouting from the roots, coiling around their bodies from all directions, as if trying to strangle them to death.

But in the instant they got close, they were all cut in half by Jiang Yufeng's blade.

The situation was critical just now. Jiang Yufeng was focused on protecting Ye Shuwan and also wanted to see what was causing the trouble, so he was dragged along along the way.

Now that the vines had stopped, he no longer needed to hold back. After severing the branches from the two people, he unleashed several lightning balls.

The lightning crackled and sparked, scorching the roots and leaves of the vines, which were originally emerald green with dark red veins, until they were completely black. I dared not approach them easily anymore.

But it still doesn't want to give up.

A month ago, the vines accidentally absorbed the blood of a group of people and suddenly developed sentience.

It vaguely realized that these things were helpful to it.

After that, several more groups of people came, but they were all drained of their blood, and their corpses became fertilizer for its growth.

In just one month, it has grown into the behemoth it is today.

Unfortunately, no one has passed through that mountain since then.

Today, it finally got fertilizer again, and it could sense that the nutrients in this fertilizer were more than it had absorbed before.

This made it very excited.

However, these fertilizers are more difficult to deal with than the ones we've encountered before.

With its limited intelligence, it planned to defeat them one by one.

It has its eye on one of the weaker ones and wants to absorb it first before dealing with the others.

Unexpectedly, it also brought along the one that looked the most formidable.

They even set off a bomb, ruining its beautiful body that it had worked so hard to raise.

It was afraid of pain, yet unwilling to give up.

The tendrils, like hundreds or thousands of jade snakes, surrounded the two of them, seemingly hesitating whether the nutrients were worth their full effort.

Ye Shuwan was held tightly in Jiang Yufeng's arms, and her feelings were inevitably complicated.

She had originally planned to be caught by the vines, resolve the situation quickly, and then enjoy the energy all to herself, but that's no longer possible.

Jiang Yufeng meant well; in order to protect her, he himself suffered multiple abrasions.

Moreover, she had no means of attack in his heart; her only weapon was the one he had given her just last night. Since he could protect her without hesitation, she had even less reason to blame him.

Ye Shuwan sighed heavily in her heart. She looked up and her face was filled with gratitude and guilt. She gently tugged at Jiang Yufeng's sleeve and said in a slightly panicked voice, "What should we do now, Brother Yu? I'm sorry. It's all my fault for getting entangled with you and dragging you into this mess."

"It's alright." Jiang Yufeng patted her head reassuringly, his tense nerves still on edge. "I have a GPS tracker on me, Shen Yanke and the others should be able to find me soon."

"These vines aren't particularly strong offensively; they're just numerous."

"If it attacks with all its might, I'm afraid I alone cannot protect you."

"It's best to hold out for now and wait for them to arrive."

Perhaps afraid that she might overthink things, Jiang Yufeng, who is usually taciturn, talked quite a bit this time.

"Okay, sure," Ye Shuwan replied softly.

But the vines probably also sensed that the others were rushing here.

The vines that had been standing still suddenly launched an attack, twisting and lashing out at the two of them, each slamming into the ground leaving a heavy mark.

Jiang Yufeng protected Ye Shuwan as they dodged left and right, and several conjured blades blocked their way, cutting away many branches for them.

However, their numbers are so vast that if one vine breaks, another immediately follows, endlessly.

Simply relying on defense is not realistic.

Another vine hurtled towards Ye Shuwan's head. Jiang Yufeng was in a hurry to block it for her, but he overlooked one behind him. He was suddenly hit and staggered two steps, feeling the taste of blood in his throat.

"Brother Yu!" Ye Shuwan reached out and supported him.

"It's alright." Jiang Yufeng suppressed his discomfort, waved his hand and threw out a few lightning balls, getting a few moments to catch his breath.

However, the vines quickly surrounded them again.

If they cannot find its weaknesses in time, the situation will be very unfavorable for them.
