274: Chapter 274 Protection by the Vine Cage, Feng Yange is Enraged
" Zhushou! "
Feng Yange saw clearly that it was Zhushou and shouted in panic, " What happened to you? "
Zhushou was lying not far away, its mouth full of blood; it was the first time she had seen it so disheveled.
" Mistress, hide well, it's dangerous. "
Zhushou climbed up from the ground and rushed toward the darkness once again.
Feng Yange felt panicked and hurriedly ordered Bai Jiuxiao, " Quickly contact them, tell them to rush here for support, tell them it's dangerous here, and tell them to be careful. "
Bai Jiuxiao agreed and hurriedly contacted them.
Feng Yange was not idle either; she could not remain trapped in this vine cage. She was not a canary, and she did not need this kind of protection.
" Listen, let me go. I don't need this kind of protection from you. A single vine cannot protect me. You are strong, but together we can become stronger. "
The vine cage still showed no sign of opening. Feng Yange was a bit irritated; this vine was truly stubborn.
In this world, the strong are respected, that is correct. But if you encounter a stronger opponent, fighting alone won't work, so you can fight in groups.
" Mistress, they will arrive soon. " Bai Jiuxiao guided them along the path and told them about the situation here.
" Sword, Dengdeng, come out. "
Feng Yange shouted coldly, " You go to Zhushou's side and check the situation. If you can win, fight; if you can't, grab that vine and have it unlock the vine cage. Tell Zhushou and the Dark Spirit, if you can't win, come back to me. "
Something that could make both Zhushou and that vine so troubled must have terrifying strength. She could give up this chance to obtain the Ancient Secret Realm key, but she could not ignore their lives.
" Yes, Mistress! "
Feng Yange grabbed the vine, but could not pull it open at all; it was unreasonable.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived one after another. Seeing Feng Yange trapped in the vine cage, their expressions tightened slightly.
" Mistress, we will go check on that vine. We will make it unlock the vine cage as soon as possible. "
" Remember, if you can't win, don't fight. Saving your lives is the priority. No one is allowed to play the hero. " Feng Yange ordered in a deep voice, " Tell that vine, if it doesn't open, I won't let it find Zhushou in the future, and I won't allow it to appear by my side again. "
Everyone agreed, and the ten of them immediately walked forward.
" Everyone be careful, it's very dangerous here. "
Yue Lan spoke, his voice carrying an unprecedented seriousness, " The opponent's strength might be above mine. If a real fight breaks out, fighting alone will have no chance of winning. "
" Mistress said we cannot fight alone, so we will fight in groups. With our strength, plus Mistress's Domain, plus Zhushou and that vine, what are the chances of winning? "
" I cannot estimate, let's go see first. " Yue Lan walked in front of them, not forgetting to remind them, " Hide your own aura, if anything goes wrong, turn invisible and leave. Your lives are important. "
Everyone agreed. Yue Lan was the strongest among them and possessed the ability of foresight, so listening to him was the right choice.
After walking for about half a cup of tea, everyone finally saw clearly what was fighting them.
A pitch-black, giant monster covered in tentacles, with a terrifying aura. The smell emanating from its body was nauseating. It had a black body, a pair of red eyes, and its tentacles were flapping, splashing black mucus.
" So disgusting! "
Bai Jiuxiao took several steps back; he did not want to be splashed all over.
Zhushou's small body kept lunging, biting, and tearing, only to be slapped away, falling to the ground, and then repeating the process over and over.
Sword was fighting the tentacles, and Dengdeng was using fire attacks, but they caused absolutely no damage to the tentacle monster. It was as if an invincible expert was being provoked by a group of juniors, slapping them away time after time.
" That vine, Mistress felt a surge of Life Qi, let her go immediately, otherwise both Zhushou and she will ignore you. "
The vine attacking the tentacle monster froze for a moment and was fiercely slapped away by a tentacle. Zhushou lunged over, bit onto that tentacle, and tore with force. Blood flowed down Zhushou's teeth. The tentacle monster struggled, and its tentacles lashed out even more fiercely.
" Retreat! "
The vine said one word, and in a split second, it retreated rapidly toward Feng Yange's direction, so fast that others didn't even have time to react.
" That vine actually spoke. "
Xuan Li was dumbfounded. This really opened his eyes; a vine had actually spoken.
" Stop talking, retreat! "
Yue Lan spoke, and soon, everyone retreated, leaving behind the giant tentacle monster, which let out bursts of hissing sounds. Stones in the cavern rolled down; it was thoroughly enraged.
The vine returned to Feng Yange's side, and the vine cage instantly unlocked. The vine did not pounce over but stood far away.
" Kill it, key. "
Feng Yange walked to the vine and crouched down, reaching out to touch the vine, but the vine dodged.
Feng Yange saw the scars on the vine's body and took out the spirit spring water, pouring it on it. She made her voice as gentle as possible, " I know you are very strong, but it is stronger. You brought Zhushou to fight it for so long without winning; you cannot kill it alone. "
The vine drooped down, looking as if it were hanging its head.
Feng Yange reached out and stroked its 'head', " It was I who wanted to come for the Ancient Secret Realm key. You told me that killing it would allow me to obtain it, so I should go together, not be locked up by you. I cannot win alone, but I have many family members. If we join forces, we might have a chance to obtain the Ancient Secret Realm key. "
The vine stood up instantly, but it seemed not to understand very well.
Zhushou raised its foot and kicked the tip of the vine, " So stupid, Mistress means we should gang up on that guy instead of fighting it one-on-one. Even if we add ourselves up, we aren't as big as one of its tentacles. "
Zhushou was huffy, sat down on its butt, and was very annoyed.
" Zhushou is right. When we encounter a strong enemy, we should join forces. This is the meaning of our Cultivate. Everyone here has their own abilities; as long as we use them well, there is still a chance to win. "
Feng Yange communicated with this vine; it was a Top-tier Wood Attribute, it should be able to understand, right?
However, Feng Yange still did not understand why this vine seemed to have a somewhat slow brain. If it were her Little Twelve, she would have to consider it seriously; she was afraid of eating tender vines.
" I'll listen to you. "
The vine's youthful voice was very pleasant. Everyone surrounded the vine, eyes narrowing slightly. Xuan Li poked the vine with his hand, falling into suspicion, " Mistress, could this vine be Little Twelve? "
" The System only said he was a Top-tier Wood Attribute and didn't tell me to take him in. Moreover, I feel he is a bit... strange. " As Feng Yange said this, the vine didn't react much. Seeing Long Ze and the others looking at it, it was even a bit embarrassed.
Everyone's lips twitched slightly; they had an indescribable feeling of strangeness.
Sometimes they said it was annoying for provoking Zhushou, but right now, they were staring at it and talking about it, yet it did not feel Life Qi, and it was even shy.
A bit arrogant, a bit shy, but also wanted to make friends?
[ Host, the Top-tier Wood Attribute is its mastermind; that is your Little Twelve. This is just a part of Little Twelve, similar to an ability manifested as a Clone. ]
" System, does that mean Little Twelve has been controlling it to hang around me all this time? " Feng Yange stared at the vine, " Could it be that Little Twelve's true form is a vine? "
