Within the ravine, a robust vine emerged, its main stem as thick as a basketball and its body nearly ten meters long, emitting a faint green glow. This was the main root of the Green Demon Vine, precisely targeted by Chang Wei.
Faced with Chang Wei's sudden attack, the Green Vine seemed caught off guard, and it stopped instantly from wandering leisurely underground.
However, this was only a brief moment of shock. It quickly realized what was happening and, sensing the intense killing intent emanating from Chang Wei, it hurriedly tried to escape deeper underground.
"Want to escape?"
Chang Wei smirked. He had long regarded the Green Demon Vine as his right-hand man, and he was not about to let it escape so easily.
He coldly observed the Green Demon Vine's struggle, then released a massive amount of spiritual power, erecting an invisible barrier in front of the Green Demon Vine.
"boom!"
The green vines struck the barrier with a dull thud, as if hitting hard cowhide.
It struggled frantically, trying to break through the barrier. Each impact put immense pressure on Chang Wei, as if he had truly trapped a ferocious beast.
The smile on Chang Wei's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.
He was filled with admiration; this Green Demon Vine was indeed extraordinary and possessed powerful abilities.
But at this moment, it was impossible for it to escape.
Chang Wei gripped his silver-white longsword tightly, leaped into the air, and the longsword drew a bright arc in the air, slashing towards the main root of the Green Demon Vine with a sharp blade light.
With a loud clang, the collision between the longsword and the green demon vine sparked a shower of sparks, and a powerful force traveled along the blade to Chang Wei's arm and body.
He felt the force of the recoil, and his body swayed slightly, but he quickly regained his balance.
He knew that this battle had just begun.
Chang Wei retreated repeatedly, his face slightly pale, as he witnessed the tiny bloodstains cut into the main trunk by the sharp blade, from which flowed a mixture of black and purple sap, as if he had angered the soul of the Green Demon Vine.
It no longer retreated or fled, but charged fiercely at Chang Wei with a resolute attitude.
The thick vines, like collapsing giant pillars, rushed straight at Chang Wei. His expression changed drastically, and he dodged quickly, trying to avoid this earth-shattering attack.
"Boom~!"
The main root crashed down, instantly causing the ground to collapse and forming a deep trench. At the same time, the other vines seemed to come alive, intertwining into a net and sweeping towards Chang Wei.
These vines seemed to have no fear of the flames, and only Chang Wei's wind blades posed a slight threat to them.
However, while the wind blades are powerful, they consume a great deal of energy. Chang Wei has already used up most of his energy in the continuous battles, and the wind blades are now difficult to sustain.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Saya Takagi, Sato, Sasaki, and others traversed the dark, dense forest. As they went deeper, they gradually sensed the eeriness of the forest.
This place is like a desolate graveyard, quiet and eerie, sending chills down your spine.
"rustle……"
A strange sound broke the silence of the forest, and everyone immediately became alert, stopped in their tracks, and looked around.
Kagami and Sasaki also caught up, and seeing everyone's tense expressions, they couldn't help but frown as well.
"Boom!"
Just as everyone was on high alert, the surrounding trees suddenly came to life, and one after another, the large trees crashed down and rushed towards the group.
"Flash!"
Saya Takagi shouted and quickly shielded the support-type evolver Hoshino Ai behind her, dodging the attack.
The other evolved beings also unleashed their skills to evade the sudden attack.
However, Tang Yingtong and the others did not back down. Facing the fallen giant tree, she shouted:
"Fire Slash!"
A colossal blade forged from deep blue flames appeared out of nowhere, its length reaching a staggering ten meters. The moment it materialized, the surrounding air crackled under the intense heat of the flames as it slashed fiercely at the towering tree falling towards it.
"Ah-"
Like a sharp blade slicing through tofu, the giant flaming blade effortlessly cleaved into the tree, instantly splitting it in two and creating a treeless, safe zone for everyone.
"boom!"
As the trees collapsed, dust and fallen leaves flew everywhere. When the dust settled, Takagi Saya and the others stared in shock at the empty area around Ido Kageto and the others.
"This little girl's strength is truly not to be underestimated!"
Everyone silently expressed their admiration, beginning to understand why Chang Wei valued her so highly—because she truly possessed such strength.
Sasaki and the others, on the other hand, seemed much calmer. They were well aware of the strength of my niece, Kageto, who was considered a top expert in their Imperial Tutor Department.
Recalling the fierce battle in Jiangnan City, facing endless streams of special zombies, evolved zombies, and even more terrifying hunters, if it weren't for my Tang Yingtong's astonishing power, which erupted like a phoenix rising from the ashes and repelled many powerful enemies, their losses would have been even more severe.
Therefore, in their hearts, the safety of Tang Yingtong is of utmost importance. If anything were to happen to her, it would undoubtedly be adding insult to injury for the Imperial Tutor Department.
They were not worried at all when they were attacked, because they knew that I, Tang Yingtong, was capable of handling it with ease.
"Who is it?"
I, Tang Yingtong, paid no attention to what others thought. Her gaze pierced through the dust and focused on the unknown threat.
My eyes are as deep as water. Looking around, there seems to be a flame flickering in her eyes, as if it could burst into flames at any moment.
The woods were deathly silent, except for the echo of her voice.
Saya Takagi and the others frowned, their bodies surging with energy, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
"Do it!"
At my command, Tang Yingtong gave a rustling sound that suddenly rang out from the woods.
Immediately afterwards, a red figure rushed out like lightning, wielding a huge flaming longsword, even more powerful than before.
"boom!"
The long sword slashed in one direction, instantly producing a loud bang.
A seemingly ordinary tree was split in two, revealing the intricate texture of its roots, much like the veins of the human body.
Black liquid flowed from the tree and quickly gathered on the ground to form a black lake.
"You still dare to hide and show your true colors!"
Tang Yingtong stood to the side, her entire body enveloped in flames, resembling a female war goddess, majestic and awe-inspiring. She looked at the monster she had slain and sneered disdainfully.
"What is this?"
Saya Takagi and the others came to their senses and looked at the monster in front of them. It looked like a tree on the outside, but its inside was similar to that of a human. It seemed to be able to control other trees, which puzzled them greatly.
"I am not sure as well."
I, Tang Yingtong, shook my head helplessly, "But what is certain is that Chang Wei is in trouble now."
None of them possessed Chang Wei's ability to detect objects, so they could only stare blankly at the monster before them.
"There are probably more monsters like this ahead," Tang Yingtong warned everyone. "We must be extra careful."
After saying that, she took the lead and walked forward.
The group exchanged glances, and Sato and the others placed Hoshino in the middle, following closely behind.
As they continued forward, just as Tang Yingtong had predicted, many strange plants appeared ahead:
Flowers that can devour human bodies, dizzyingly colorful mushrooms, and incredibly sharp weeds.
One of Sasaki's evolved beings was almost cleaved in two by these weeds, but fortunately, Ido Kagetoko intervened in time to save him.
Under the scorching flames, the wild grass was mercilessly devoured, as if foreshadowing the coming of darkness and making one wonder if they would ever see the dawn of tomorrow.
……
On their unknown journey, the group endured hardships and encountered all sorts of strange and mutated plants. Each encounter was like opening a new visual feast.
If they knew that Chang Wei had only fought against three types of mutated plants, they would probably be shocked into disbelief and feel an indescribable sense of frustration.
"Bang!"
Chang Wei's figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string, sliding a few steps on the ground before coming to a stop.
His face was grim, his eyes fixed on the raging green demon vines before him.
Each of those dozens of vines seemed to contain the force of a thousand pounds, and when they were stacked together, it felt as if tens of thousands of pounds of force were squeezing him.
He struggled to resist with his arm, but still felt excruciating pain, as if it were about to break.
He shook his hand, his face pale, and the hand gripping the knife trembled slightly. A surge of indomitable fighting spirit welled up within him; he knew that if he delayed any longer, he would be the first to collapse.
Therefore, he no longer held back his power and released all the earth energy he had absorbed.
"cut!"
With a low shout, he instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged towards the Green Demon Vine.
At the same time, a flaming longsword sliced through the air with a crackling sound, swiftly slashing towards the Green Demon Vine.
The ground churned as if an earthquake had struck, and countless pebbles and clods of earth rose from the ground, forming a huge meteorite shower that hurtled towards the Green Demon Vine.
In mid-air, a pale blue wind blade appeared out of nowhere, several feet long, tearing through the air and slashing fiercely downwards.
The air exploded in that instant, and an invisible wave shot out like an arrow, heading straight for the Green Demon Vine.
……
At this moment, Chang Wei unleashed all his abilities without reservation, determined to cut down the Green Demon Vine.
