Chapter 745

Following Li Ran's shout, dozens of silver lights flashed, flying into the vines. Snapping sounds rang out as countless vines were cut down in an instant.

That ray of silver light was extremely sharp. It seemed as though nothing could stop it, and it swept past everything in its path. However, the Soul Vine Tree madly produced a large number of vines, which danced about desperately. Although it could not stop the silver light, it created a large obstacle for Li Ran to find the main root.

Li Ran aimed at the main root several times, but was blocked by the messy vines and branches. The ground was eroded by the Soul Spring, and the main root's movement sped up. It was no longer waiting for Li Ran to cut it down.

The main root evaded several times. Li Ran could not help but sigh. "What a troublesome fellow. Hehe, Shier, hurry up and collect the vines I cut down. The vines that are separated from the Soul Vine Tree will quickly wither. It would be a pity to waste them."

Guo Shier and the others happily agreed. At this time, the Variant Soul Vine Tree realized that the biggest threat was Li Ran. It did not need to care about the others. So, the vines that were attacking the three of them were all concentrated on Li Ran. This gave Guo Shier and the others a good opportunity.

Due to the Soul Vine Tree's large size, it also occupied a large area. One square kilometer of ground was covered with vines dancing in the wind. Li Ran did not enter too deep. Instead, he slowly moved in from the edge. He cut down a large number of vines, which were then collected by Guo Shier and the others.

After several long-range attacks failed, Li Ran was not in a hurry. His plan was very simple: grind the Soul Vine Tree to death. With his strength, he could easily kill the Soul Vine Tree in one strike. However, that would require a large amount of Soul Force. He did not want his strength to decline in this place.

Guo Shier and A Handsome Old Man were grinning from ear to ear. A large number of high-quality Soul Vine Trees were collected into the altar.

…

The group of Professionists who were besieged by the Soul Vines had already been trapped by the vines. There were still a dozen or so who were desperately trying to resist, but they had no way out. Surrounded by flying vines, what made them even more afraid was that their sacrificial ritual couldn't cut through the extremely tough vines, at most they could only push them back.

In the end, only the 6-tiered altar Professionist was left resisting, the others were tightly bound by the vines and dragged to the ground. Although the Soul Vine Tree had yet to break through their altars' defenses, they couldn't escape either. Everyone's faces were pale. Everyone knew what the consequences would be if this continued.

The Mutated Soul Vine Tree didn't have any powerful attacking methods. Its method was to use its vines to entangle its opponent. As long as the opponent showed an opening, it would immediately pierce through and absorb the opponent's flesh and energy bit by bit. It would absorb everything that was beneficial to its growth. However, this kind of opportunity might only come once in a decade, or once in a century.

None of these professions were dead, not even seriously injured. They could still talk and move around the altar, but they couldn't move. They were all screaming in fear. Although they had seen many mutated rune beasts and experienced many battles, this was the first time they had been trapped by a plant.

When all the other professionals were trapped, the six-tiered altar professional finally couldn't hold on any longer. He was surrounded by a large number of vines, and the space he could move in was gradually reduced. Soon, he was also firmly bound, and both he and the altar were pressed to the ground. At this time, no one dared to retract the altar. With the altar's protection, the vines could not attack anyone. They all knew in their hearts that their bodies would not be able to withstand the piercing of the vines.

The group of people were all pinned to the ground, the leading Professionist sighed: "We shouldn't have chased after them, who knows what this thing is?"

Someone said, "I'm searching through my inherited memories …"

The leading Professionist said, "Who is the Wood Element Altar … Quickly search, even if I die, I want to know what it is that killed me!" He felt extremely sullen. He had heard of people being eaten by mutated rune beasts or killed by mutated rune beasts, but he had never heard of someone being trapped to death by a plant.

Sullen, extremely sullen. He would rather be eaten by mutated rune beasts than to be suffocated to death like this. However, he tried many times to break through the vines, but he failed continuously, causing him to scream in anger. Someone around him shouted: "Ancestor, ancestor, someone just went in, we might still have a chance!"

After a few people shouted, the six-tiered altar professional finally calmed down. He said: "We can't break through, but we can try to stick together and save some energy."

More than 20 Professionists spread out in a radius of a few hundred meters, all of them used their strength at the same time, desperately trying to cut open the vines between them. Even if they couldn't cut open the vines, they struggled to forcefully pull apart, desperately trying to get closer to each other.

The mutated Soul Vine Tree didn't spend too much energy to stop them. At this time, its main root was being attacked by Li Ran, so all of its attention was focused on Li Ran's group. As long as it could trap people here, it would be fine. So after more than 20 people worked together, they finally gathered together.

When more than 20 altars gathered together, the people in the middle of the altars had time to breathe, and they could exchange positions with the Professionists on the periphery at any time. This way, they had the possibility of holding on for a long time.

The leading Professionist listened carefully and faintly heard a sound floating towards them. After carefully distinguishing, his face showed a hint of joy: "I wonder who that person is, to be able to fight against this plant for so long. I hope they are not trapped, otherwise we will have no hope at all."

One of the Professionists said: "They are not too far away from us, at most a few hundred kilometers …" Finally, a Wood Altars Professionist exclaimed: "This is … this is a top-quality Soul Vine Tree! Motherf * cker … it's actually a top-quality Soul Vine Tree, but … but I didn't fucking know that the Soul Vine Tree could attack! This is too shocking, it's unbelievable! "

Once they knew what kind of plant this was, the 20 Professionists all became excited, but they couldn't even cut a single branch of the Soul Vine Tree, they could only stare blankly.

The 6-layer Altars Professionist said: "Motherf * cker, how can it be so tough, my sacrificial artifact only left a white mark on it, this is a 6th rank sacrificial artifact … hah!"

Burning, freezing, forcefully breaking, all kinds of sacrificial artifacts, these people used all kinds of methods and finally managed to get a few leaves, they couldn't even get the thinnest vine, all of them were dejected.

The most tragic thing in the world is to be half starved to death, only to have a delicious feast appear in front of you, but you can't eat it.

…

Guo Shier has already picked up a lot of Soul Vine Trees. The Soul Vine Trees he picked up here are different from the ones he got before, the Soul Vine Trees here are the real top-quality ones.

The harvest this time was very big. The three of them leisurely watched as Li Ran fought alone, occasionally sending out giant talisman hands to forcefully pull the chopped vines out from the vines.

The three of them were all smiles as they picked up the loot. Guo Shier found out that the quality of the Soul Vine Tree that came out from the main root was very good, completely different from the Soul Vine Trees he got before, it can be considered as the best of the best. A single Soul Vine Tree, if pulled straight, would be over a thousand meters long, the thickest one could be as big as a water tank, 2-3 meters in diameter, and the thinnest vine was as thick as an adult's arm. The harvest this time was very good.

Li Ran's attack speed was getting faster and faster. He didn't know what kind of sacrificial treasure that silver light was, but its sharpness was amazing. A moment later, the main root was missing a big gap.

The mutated Soul Vine Tree desperately tried to grow, trying to block this gap, but its growth speed couldn't keep up with Li Ran's cutting speed, a large number of vines broke away from the main root and were quickly taken away by Guo Shier and the other two. The four of them slowly approached the main root.

Guo Shier said: "We're almost there, big brother Li Ran, I can see the main root!"

Li Ran laughed and said: "I can see it too, I won't attack it directly, I'll take off its outer layer first, let's see how many vines it can grow!"

Guo Shier couldn't help but shiver a bit, silently praising Li Ran's ruthlessness. When all the branch roots are cut off, the main root will be exposed, there's no way to escape, no way to hide, it's like being stripped naked. He said: "Alright, the more Soul Vine Trees the better, hehe"

Li Ran no longer tried to break through, but circled around the outer layer, specifically looking for the branch roots to cut off. Other than collecting the cut vines, Guo Shier and the others also occasionally used Phantom Talisman Hands to remove the tangled vines, making it easier for Li Ran to find the roots.

With the four of them working together, the mutated Soul Vine Tree quickly thinned down.

Not long after, the four of them removed all the vines on the outer layer of the Soul Vine Tree, leaving only a bare main root and a few dark green vines, powerlessly dancing in the air. No matter how strong the Soul Vine Tree is, it can't withstand such cutting.

Li Ran's soul suddenly fluctuated violently, everyone felt this fluctuation, it was him speaking: "Are you going to surrender, or let me kill you!"

A weak fluctuation came from the Soul Vine Tree: "Don't kill me … don't kill me …"

Guo Shier said in shock: "Damn, it really has a consciousness … it can actually talk with its soul!"

Li Ran's soul fluctuated: "I can not kill you, but … you need to move to a different place to live, to my sealed Secret Realm, if you agree, you will pull out your main root and let me put it in the Secret Realm"

Guo Shier and A Handsome Old Man looked on with envy, A Handsome Old Man said: "Amazing, amazing … no wonder he didn't care about cutting off the vines, he wanted to collect the whole Soul Vine Tree."

Guo Shier said: "If I don't surrender … what will happen to big brother Li Ran?"

A Handsome Old Man said: "He won't easily kill the Soul Vine Tree, this mutated Soul Vine Tree is too precious, if we can move it into the sealed Secret Realm, the benefits are self-evident."

Guo Shier nodded: "En, an inexhaustible Soul Vine Tree base, haha."

Li Ran said, "Don't even think of escaping. You won't be able to escape. As long as I sever the main root system, even if you regrow, you'll lose your sentience. Besides … there will be countless people like me coming in soon. Where can you hide?"

Guo Shier and the others knew that Li Ran was just scaring people, no, scaring the Soul Vine Tree.
