The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 53 Devil’s Vine

Wang Wu's guess was correct. More than ten minutes later, when the sun's afterglow completely disappeared, the last three giant flying balls finally flew over the valley. One of them slowly landed in the most spacious location, less than 500 meters away from Wang Wu's rock crevice and less than 30 meters away from the sharp bend of the stream where he had been hiding.

At the same time, Wang Wu also saw clearly what this so-called hot air balloon giant was.

It was clearly a giant sphere made up of countless branches and vines.

It was covered with dense branches and leaves, and the interior could not be seen clearly, but at the very bottom there were thousands of thick roots, hundreds of meters long. From a distance, they looked like a man's thick beard.

As for why this thing can fly and stay in the air, Wang Wu really doesn't know the principle.

The only thing he could see was that as the giant vine ball slowly descended, the tens of thousands of roots underneath were dancing automatically. They were very flexible, like the tentacles of a super giant octopus.

The moment they touch the ground, these root tentacles easily penetrate into the soil.

At this moment, one could see the ground within a radius of dozens of meters squirming wildly, as if a group of scarab beetles had drilled into human skin. Wang Wu was terrified by the sight.

This crazy wriggling extended to a radius of two or three hundred meters before gradually stopping.

Then the giant vine ball came to a steady stop on the ground, but judging from the feeling the moment it landed, it didn't seem to be very heavy.

"So it's just some weird plant? Some kind of goblin monster?"

Wang Wu breathed a sigh of relief. If it was a plant, it shouldn't be very invasive, right?

But just as this thought flashed through his mind, he saw countless red ants with wings flying out from the giant ball of vines.

They are larger than ordinary ants, with an overall length of about three centimeters, and their wings are not small. At first glance, they look like bees.

No one knew how many of these flying red ants there were, but in the blink of an eye, half of the valley was filled with them, densely packed everywhere, followed by the sound of the little goblins fleeing frantically.

Damn, it turns out that these migrating ethnic groups are all the same, all they do is plunder!

Wang Wu also felt a little uneasy, wondering if there were any powerful monsters traveling with him.

As a result, his place apparently became the focus of the flying red ants' search.

The iron-toothed locusts that he had not finished eating were discovered at the first moment and then carried away by the flying red ants, leaving no residue at all.

That would have been fine, but Wang Wu was horrified to find that the wild grasses in the valley, which had been full of vitality and had begun to thrive, had withered in such a short period of time, as if all their vitality had been devoured.

I'm rough!

Wang Wu cursed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, the red ants did not discover him who was in level 8 stealth mode.

Maybe you can spend money to avoid disaster this time, but this valley is really full of disasters. No, this entire line is full of disasters.

Wang Wu finally discovered the pattern.

From the Iron-Tooth Locust Legion, to the crows, to the flocks of birds, to the joint fleet of the giant vine ball and the red ants, their migration routes basically remain along this line.

It was obvious that there was a forest with more nutrients about three kilometers away in the south of the valley, but the last time the Iron-Tooth Locust Army did not go there to cause trouble.

Even to the north, at the foot of the North Mountain two kilometers away, there is no damage and the area is now full of greenery.

"According to the blue wolf, this area is the boundary between the territories of two great monsters. Could it be that those great monsters have used some method that I don't understand to mark their own territory and only allow people to take designated routes?"

When Wang Wu thought of this, he suddenly understood. He said, he is a great demon after all, he cannot be such a coward.

However, it was useless to think it through. He could only watch helplessly as the ecological environment in the valley, which had just recovered, was once again ruthlessly destroyed. Moreover, this time it was even worse than the last time, and it was simply the end of the family.

After all, the iron-toothed locust only eats the surface part and not the roots.

What kind of vine is this...

"Damn, this is not good!" Wang Wu suddenly felt a bad sense of crisis in his heart. There was a faint vibration near the ground where he was, as if the greedy root tentacles were digging and absorbing the bottom of the cliff.

Was he discovered?
But at this moment, he didn't dare to move and could only try his best to maintain level 8 stealth status.

But within a few seconds, the ground nearby suddenly collapsed, and he was buried by rocks and dirt. There was no way out. Wang Wu tried desperately to crawl out, but he found a thick root tentacle like a hemp rope under his feet. It didn't seem to notice him, but just kept digging, exploring, advancing, and charging forward frantically...

That would be fine, but the key is that I don't know what stimulated this thing. While it was charging forward, it was growing and expanding wildly, and it was also growing many tiny buds.

And this sprout is growing almost every second.

Wang Wu was originally buried in the soil and rocks and it was difficult for him to break free. Now he was even more unable to escape and was entangled by these roots and sprouts in a blink of an eye.

Is this okay?

Wang Wu also became anxious. He was busy pinching off the roots and sprouts with his claws, and even biting them directly with his teeth. If this continued, he would not be able to bear the lack of air and breathing.

As a result, he had just bit off a few roots and sprouts when he felt himself losing consciousness in his mouth.

Then my whole body lost consciousness and a feeling of numbness came over me.

It's broken and poisonous!
A few lines of information emerged like ghosts at this moment.

"You took the root of the devil's vine and were poisoned. You were forced into a paralyzed state. The toxin also caused 100 points of erosion damage to you. Because you have 3 points of paralysis toxin resistance and 7 points of plant toxin resistance, your paralysis will weaken after 60 seconds. You ultimately suffered 70 points of toxin erosion damage."

"Your level 6 self-healing talent has been activated..."

It's really the devil!

Wang Wu thought with some despair, and then he could do nothing but let the devil vine wrap around him tighter and tighter and drag him into the soil underground.

There was mud all around him, and Wang Wu felt like he was buried alive. His breathing had stopped, and he could do nothing.

The only thing to be thankful for is that his satiety is still at 500 points, and his level 6 self-healing talent is being activated crazily.

It was strange that in this state of absolute darkness while being buried alive, he did not feel very uncomfortable. Instead, he could clearly feel the strong beating of his heart and the blood rushing through his body like a torrent.

That is a rich vitality bursting out!

It is the flower of life that is blooming!
But at the same time, it is like a lit bonfire, blazing and warm, but destined to go out.

Yes, it is destined.

Wang Wu was stunned at this moment and even forgot his situation for a moment.

"So this is the limit of life. Is this the meaning of cultivation?"

He suddenly realized that this was not a new truth, but after all, no one could see the end of their life so clearly. Just like when you wake up in the morning, you are energetic, healthy, and in a good mood. How could you have imagined that decades later, you would be lying on a hospital bed, dying, and at the end of your life?
So Wang Wu was still very shocked.

The next moment, his numb, almost unconscious body suddenly began to revive, like the moment when a frozen snow mountain melted.

So at this moment, he suddenly woke up from a deep sleep, and that clear, mysterious and magical feeling immediately receded like a tide.

Everything returned to reality.

Sixty seconds have passed, the effect of the paralyzing toxin is disappearing, and at the same time, three more messages flash before his eyes.

"Due to your level 6 self-healing talent, your body has developed a small resistance to paralysis poison. You have gained 1 point of paralysis poison resistance, currently (4/25)"

"Due to your level 6 self-healing talent, your body has developed a certain resistance to plant toxins. You have gained 1 point of plant toxin resistance, currently (8/10)"

"Warning, you are in a state of suffocation. Due to the upper limit of your current body's endurance, you will die in 600 seconds!"
