Chapter 315 Man-Eating Tree
Chapter 315 Man-Eating Tree
Many animals and birds fled and flew away. The weak ones simply fell to the ground and fainted.
Qiqi was also shaken by the attack. Zhou Jingze quickly supported her and pulled her into his arms, covering her ears. Qiqi took out the healing pill and stuffed it into her mouth, blocking her hearing.
"Brother Jingze, I'm fine. I blocked my hearing. I just wanted to test the power of the bat's sonic attack."
When the black giant bat saw Qiqi's situation, it made even louder screams and flew towards Qiqi.
Its enormous wings flapped, and its claws stretched out to grab Qiqi's head, intending to kill it with one blow. Zhou Jingze slashed at the bat's claws with his sword. It was like striking steel; the claws quickly retracted, leaving him unharmed.
Qiqi has also dodged the bat's attack range.
"Brother Jingze, attack his wings and lower abdomen."
The giant bat then launched a second attack, its cries growing louder. Its massive claws reached out again, aiming for Zhou Jingze's head, seeking revenge for the blow. This time, Zhou Jingze didn't attack the claws, deftly dodging them. He flew up with his sword and stabbed the bat's soft underbelly. A deep, long wound was immediately inflicted on the black bat. Its flight slowed, and bright red blood dripped from the wound as it cried out in pain.
Its ferocity was aroused. It attacked Zhou Jingze again desperately, wanting to crush his head in one blow. Qiqi flew up and slashed its wings with a sword. The bat ducked and dodged. Qiqi took the opportunity to land on its back, picked up the sword and stabbed it on the bat's wing. With a swish, a huge bloody wound was cut. The black bat flapped its wings desperately in pain, trying to fly away. Now one of its wings could not fly, and it fell to the ground in pain, struggling desperately, trying to fly again.
Giant bats without wings are like wolves without teeth. They are at the mercy of others.
Zhou Jingze chopped off the giant bat's head with a single blow of his sword and immediately cut it open, revealing a large spirit core. He wiped it clean and handed it to Qiqi.
When the little bats saw their leader being killed, they no longer dared to attack. They were so frightened that they scattered and fled towards the mountains and forests, and they did not dare to come out to attack other animals in the near future.
As they stared at the giant bat's corpse, Zhou Jingze chopped off its two enormous claws and stored them in his storage ring. The claws could withstand its sword, making them akin to divine weapons. Since they had no use for the bat's corpse, they discarded it, leaving it for the smaller animals to devour.
They continued to wander around the second floor, not knowing what the man-eating tree looked like. They were also looking for a way to get down to the third floor.
They didn't know that the entrance to the next three levels was right at the man-eating tree, and they could only go down after defeating it.
They walked slowly, digging up any rare medicinal herbs they came across and planting them in the space. They walked into a forest where there was no bird singing, not even small animals, and the silence was a little frightening.
"Qiqi, be careful," Zhou Jingze said, holding Qiqi's hand.
"Brother Jingze, you too, it's so quiet here that it's a bit scary. There are not even birds or insects inside. They might have been eaten by the man-eating tree. Let's find the way down to the third floor as soon as possible." Qiqi said.
"Okay, it's all up to you."
They walked cautiously, also looking for the intersection. As they walked, they heard the sound of rustling the ground.
"Be careful!" Zhou Jingze immediately carried Qiqi away. A vine flew over, but missed. It had intended to wrap around Qiqi.
Qiqi pinned the vine to the ground with a dagger. The vine twisted and tried to break free from the dagger, but Qiqi used a lot of force when she swung the dagger, and the dagger was stuck in the ground. Zhou Jingze took out his sword and chopped it several times, cutting the vine into several sections.
Swish, swish, swish, several vines flew over. "Brother Jingze, these vines are man-eating trees. They trap people and suck out their menstrual blood. They suck people dry. Hateful."
Qiqi also drew her sword and slashed at the flying vines, using it like a knife. She also scattered some poison and took an antidote herself. She tossed an antidote to Zhou Jingze, who stuffed it into his mouth and continued to fight the vines.
The moves Zhou Jingze was using were from the new sword manual given to him by the Pavilion Master. He was using vines to practice the moves. He was honing his skills.
Qiqi rarely had such an opportunity to train herself. After they cut several vines, many more vines stretched out, trying to wrap around them. They quickly dodged among the vines to avoid being cut.
If Qiqi flew slower, her feet would be entangled by the vines, and the vines would pull her back.
"Qiqi." Zhou Jingze saw it and got anxious. He teleported to the front of Qiqi and slashed at her three times in a row. The vine snapped and broke. The vines wrapped around Qiqi fell apart, and Qiqi flew up.
Zhou Jingze got angry and cut off more than a dozen vines in an instant. He cut them close to the roots. The vine tree retracted some of its vines in pain.
Qiqi looked at Zhou Jingze and smiled. This inspired Zhou Jingze's swordsmanship. Qiqi also danced with her sword, and in an instant they cut through all the vines. Zhou Jingze even found the roots and cut off a few.
The vines were so frightened that they dared not even stretch out. They had subdued the vines of the man-eating tree. Seeing them both shrink back, the man-eating tree had become intelligent over the years. They knew how powerful Qiqi and the others were, so they wouldn't dare show their heads when they saw them. They feared they would be uprooted and die.
At the bottom of the secret realm, the old ancestor of the man-eating tree was furious. "These idiots haven't learned any skills at all. They can't even deal with two humans. What's the use of you? I spent a lot of spiritual energy to send you up, but you took root in the upper layer. I'm so angry. You didn't leave any of my inheritance. I'll spare you today. If something like this happens again, I will absorb your vitality to nourish myself."
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze were unaware of this. They were drinking spiritual spring water and eating spiritual fruits to increase their spiritual power. They took out a roast chicken and shared it, and the aroma instantly spread. Many small animals smelled it and dared not approach the area of the man-eating tree. They were all frightened by the man-eating tree. Their brothers and sisters had been drained of their blood by the man-eating tree, turning into mummies.
Although they hated it, they couldn't do anything about it. Even their ancestors didn't dare to fight it. Just now, seeing Qiqi and the others slaughter the man-eating tree, they felt relieved and hoped they could eradicate the man-eating tree.
A wolf cub bravely came up to Qiqi and the others. It clasped its hands together and bowed to them, whimpering. Qiqi didn't understand what it was saying.
Qiqi released Kong Ling. The frightened little beast dared not move. "Kong Ling, listen to what the little beast is saying."
"Master, I heard what it said in space. It begged you to uproot the man-eating trees, destroy them, and avenge their beast brothers and sisters."
