Chapter 186 Ghost Blood Vine as a Pet?
Chapter 186 Ghost Blood Vine as a Pet?
After everyone had run far away, Chen Wan'er turned around and asked Manman:
Do you recognize that monster from earlier?
Manman's face was ashen, clearly terrified, and she said in a trembling voice:
"Sister Chen, that is the extremely famous Ghost Blood Vine among the demon race."
Once it gets entangled, it will mercilessly drain the cultivator's blood before it will stop.
Moreover, generally speaking, there are no other demonic beasts present where the Ghost Blood Vine appears.
After hearing this, Lin Qingxue looked back with lingering fear.
He secretly rejoiced: Thank goodness, his junior sister noticed in advance.
Otherwise, they would probably have become food for the Ghost Blood Vine.
Everyone looked terrified, but Chen Wan'er's eyes gleamed with a strange light after hearing the news.
He seemed to be plotting something in his mind, his enthusiastic expression evident in his words.
"Manman, do you know what the weaknesses of this Ghost Blood Vine are?"
"Weakness? Never heard of it. But it must be afraid of your big iron hammer."
I see. It seems they fear the power of lightning. That makes things easier.
Chen Wan'er glanced around at everyone, then fixed her gaze on Baili Chen.
"Third Senior Sister, you all rest here for a while. I'll take Fifth Senior Brother out to scout things out."
Upon hearing this, Lou Chongxiao immediately understood that Chen Wan'er hadn't simply gone out to gather information, and quickly said:
"Junior Sister, are you planning to go out and cause trouble? Can I come along?"
Baili Chen looked completely bewildered. What was going on?
They just went out to scout out the situation, didn't they?
"Fifth Senior Brother, don't listen to Eighth Senior Brother's nonsense. He's just going to scout out the situation. Let's hurry up and go."
After saying that, Chen Wan'er took out her spirit sword and left with Baili Chen.
Fifth Senior Brother, do you know?
My fourth senior brother has made further progress in his cultivation in the Demon Realm, and I truly admire him.
It is truly commendable that he could persist in cultivation under such difficult circumstances.
Upon hearing this, Baili Chen was immediately filled with doubt and quickly inquired:
"His cultivation level has improved again? Could it be that he has invented a new artifact?"
Seeing that her fifth senior brother's competitive spirit had been piqued, Chen Wan'er continued:
"Yes, he has developed something that can simulate the demonic energy of the demon race, helping them to conceal their identities."
Baili Chen thought to himself, "Didn't I already develop the Demon Qi Talisman? Why hasn't my cultivation improved?"
Could it be that I lack comprehension?
Baili Chen was still pondering the exact difference between himself and his fourth senior brother when he heard his junior sister say, "We've arrived."
Are we here? Why does it feel like we're back in the same place?
"Junior Sister, what are we doing here? There are Ghost Blood Vines around here."
"That's right, we came here specifically to find it."
"Us? Junior Sister, you didn't agree to that!"
"Fifth Senior Brother, don't you want to surpass Fourth Senior Brother?"
How about we give everyone a surprise next time we meet?
"You two finally reached the fifth level of the Golden Core stage, and now Fourth Senior Brother has reached the sixth level."
After hearing this, Baili Chen nodded blankly:
"I think so! But what does that have to do with us being here?"
"Help me catch the Ghost Blood Vine."
Upon hearing this, Baili Chen immediately grabbed Chen Wan'er and turned to leave.
Capture the Ghost Blood Vine?
He felt that he should go back to his cultivation and improve his cultivation level more quickly.
"Junior sister, why are you grabbing it? That thing sucks blood!"
"I know, I'm going to catch it and keep it as a pet."
I don't have anything special around me right now, except for big iron hammers.
Since this Ghost Blood Vine is so powerful, I'll take it.
Junior sister's idea is really bold, but he doesn't have the guts!
Didn't you hear what Manman said? Once you're entangled by the Ghost Blood Vine, your blood will be drained.
"Fifth Senior Brother, how can you bear to see your Junior Sister have nothing?"
Chen Wan'er put on a pitiful, almost crying expression and looked at him with pleading eyes.
Baili Chen couldn't hold out for more than three seconds before he had no choice but to give in.
"Alright, whatever Junior Sister wants to do, I, as her senior brother, will accompany you."
"Fifth Senior Brother, I'll lure the Ghost Blood Vine over here later, and you can use a talisman to trap it."
Upon hearing that his junior sister wanted to personally lure the Ghost Blood Vine, Baili Chen firmly objected:
"No, that's too dangerous."
"I'll lure it away. I'll teach you how to use these talismans, and you can trap it."
"Fifth Senior Brother, you are a master of using talismans, so it would be most appropriate for you to trap it."
Besides, I have a big iron hammer for self-defense, so you don't need to worry.
After saying that, Chen Wan'er flew forward on her sword.
Chen Wan'er knew that if she were to be entangled by the Ghost Blood Vine, the system would be there to help her in an emergency.
But if Fifth Brother gets entangled with him, then he'll be in real danger and his blood will be drained.
This time, Chen Wan'er put away the big iron hammer.
Holding a spirit sword, he poked and prodded at the ground, trying to lure out the Ghost Blood Vine.
However, after all that effort, the Ghost Blood Vine was nowhere to be found.
"Isn't the Ghost Blood Vine supposed to suck blood?"
You coward, why don't you dare show yourself?
"Come out and suck my blood if you dare!"
Chen Wan'er's arrogant shouts echoed continuously in the cave.
Not long after, a faint rustling sound could be heard.
Chen Wan'er pretended not to hear, but in reality, she was already prepared to slip away at any moment.
But he deliberately turned his back to the source of the sound, appearing completely unprepared.
Soon, she felt something rushing towards her.
Chen Wan'er immediately wielded her spirit sword and ran away.
We mustn't use the big iron hammer now, or we'll scare away the Ghost Blood Vine and all our efforts will be in vain.
She could only focus on running away as fast as she could, and even stuck a speed-up talisman on her spirit sword.
Seeing that the Ghost Blood Vine was chasing faster and faster, Chen Wan'er became anxious and stuck another speed-up talisman on the spirit sword.
After turning a corner, Chen Wan'er immediately spotted her fifth senior brother.
He immediately activated his spirit sword with all his might, rushing towards his direction.
"Fifth Senior Brother, it's all up to you now!"
It was Baili Chen's first time doing something like this, so he was inevitably a little nervous.
He clutched several spare talismans tightly in his hand, thinking that if he couldn't trap the Ghost Blood Vine later, he could remedy the situation immediately.
The Ghost Blood Vine was about to rush over aggressively, but when it saw Baili Chen standing still, it stopped instantly.
Its vines twisted and turned incessantly, as if weighing and contemplating something.
No way, could it be that this Ghost Blood Vine has actually developed sentience?
Chen Wan'er quickly scanned the system, but strangely, it wasn't there.
We've already come this far, we absolutely cannot afford to fail now.
Chen Wan'er steeled her heart, took out a dagger, cut her palm, and dripped the blood onto the place where the talisman was pasted.
Then he grabbed his fifth senior brother and quickly retreated, thinking that this time he might be able to lure the Ghost Blood Vine into a trap.
As expected, the bloodthirsty instinct of the Ghost Blood Vine ultimately overcame its negligible rationality and chased after it relentlessly.
The two successfully put the Ghost Blood Vine into a specially made bag, the inside of which was covered with talismans to prevent it from escaping.
"Fifth Senior Brother, let's go. After I subdue the Ghost Blood Vine, I'll have it lead the way for us to find treasure."
