Chapter 164: Shou Zhe's Delight! Half-Step True Demon Plant Acquired
The Green Phoenix Demon Emperor was already quite skilled in speed, and Ji Yueer temporarily received Wang Shouzhe's [Milk Shadow Cloak] and Wang Baoli's blessing, making her overall speed half a step faster than the Green Phoenix Demon Emperor.
However, this exotic magic vine, while very powerful in a battlefield setting even causing two Transcendent Void Realm experts to avoid its edge, had a weakness in mobility.
The two managed to bait it out of the ruins through continuous combat, then headed south.
Normally, "luring the enemy" isn't this easy.
But this exotic magic vine was extremely irritable, with a chaotic consciousness, almost entirely driven by instinct. It was determined to devour Wang Shouzhe and his group, even fearlessly half-floating through the sea in pursuit.
Of course, this was also due to Wang Shouzhe and his team's excellent acting skills.
The trick to luring the enemy is the word — "lure."
Constantly make the exotic magic vine feel that the prey is about to fall, just a little more effort, and it can capture and enjoy it.
During the process, the force of the exotic magic vine can't be allowed to dwindle nor make it feel hopeless and retreat, requiring a variety of tactics.
Using the word "lure," after spending some days, they finally led the exotic magic vine to the targeted sea area.
Here, the sea was vast, and wispy black mist drifted endlessly.
Arriving here, Wang Shouzhe and his group finally stopped.
The impatient exotic magic vine saw a chance and immediately made a frantic dash, trying to devour everyone.
However, before it reached Wang Shouzhe and the others, a strong and elderly voice belonging to King Chaoyang resonated from the surrounding black mist, "Shouzhe, you went to the ruins and brought a significant wild creature. This magic vine is high-level, and will not be easy to deal with."
"That's why we need everyone to join forces to handle it."
Wang Shouzhe smiled calmly.
During the "luring" process, he and Green Fern had tried to communicate with it multiple times, but only received violent attacks in response.
Wake it up, rationality failed, now it must be killed and used as material.
Meanwhile, Whale Dragon King Dragon Crystal, Old Ancestor Dragon, Jiang Zhencang, and a clone of Emperor Xiu emerged one after another from the black mist.
Along with the original Green Phoenix Demon Emperor and Ji Yueer, the number of Transcendent Void Realm experts present instantly reached six.
A group of Transcendent Void Realm experts each occupied a position, ready to observe the exotic magic vine ruthlessly.
"Such a stout magic vine, so many tendrils, it looks terribly unsightly~"
"I'm certain this isn't a breed from our world."
"This fellow seems to be at the Advanced Transcendent Void Realm, right? Difficult indeed, it's not easy for a magic plant to grow so big. It's unfortunate it encountered us."
The Transcendent Void Realm experts expressed their interest openly, with no trace of tension in their expressions, casually as if they were out on a spring outing.
Each of them emitted a terrifying pressure characteristic of Transcendent Void Realm experts.
Their six pressures combined, the space seemed entirely suppressed by them.
For a moment, the wind stopped and the clouds dispersed between heaven and earth, even the air seemed to become thick and stagnant, making it almost impossible to breathe.
The previously overly arrogant exotic magic vine instinctively felt an enormous threat, and countless thick tendrils abruptly froze in the air.
It was dumbfounded.
So many powerful ones, it's over now~
"Ahem! Everyone's pretty much done chatting, right~" Wang Shouzhe coughed lightly, reminding everyone, "Let's finish it early, so our exploration of the ruins can be considered complete."
With a command.
The miscellaneous Transcendent Void Realm experts finally stopped chatting and commenced a brutal attack on the exotic magic vine. The battle was intense for a moment, with remnants of the vine flying everywhere.
While Wang Shouzhe's group retreated to a safe distance for their safety, watching from afar.
Yet even at this distance, Wang Shouzhe had three shields swirling around him, rotating and flying to keep him completely protected.
"This, this, this..." Divine Artiface Shield Liu Anquan witnessed the scene and couldn't help but mutter, "Family Head, that's it?"
"What do you want to do?" Wang Shouzhe glanced at him.
"Since following the Family Head, I haven't officially taken a hit, nor demonstrated the true function of being a Divine Artiface Shield." Liu Anquan's tone was conflicted, unsure if he was relieved or pained, "Why not move a bit forward? Let me reminisce about my life as a shield in defense? Even just once would be good."
"No way," Wang Shouzhe firmly rejected, "That exotic magic vine is quite strong. If it struggles and suddenly uses some big move, what shall we do? As the head of the family, the burden is heavy on my shoulders, my life doesn't belong to just me alone."
"..." Liu Anquan had an almost crying feeling, "How about not going forward, I'll fly over myself and sneak a Shield Strike, showcasing some presence."
"An Quan! Where's your safety awareness gone?" Wang Shouzhe sternly critiqued, "As a shield, the main duty is defense, not attack. If you go for Shield Strike, sure it's thrilling, it's satisfying, but I'd be missing this shield, leaving a gap in defense. If an enemy ambushes me from the surroundings, wouldn't that be a safety risk?"
