Charcoal flapped its wings, and its huge body soared into the sky. It roared and pounced towards the blood-colored vine.
Upon hearing the dragon's roar, the blood-colored vine's body trembled as if it was startled. However, it quickly assumed a defensive stance.
It was like a giant python that was entrenched in its arms, unwilling to give in to the energy being in its embrace.
"They're both bronze-level rank-3 and they're both double mutated. As a dragonkin, Charcoal should be much more powerful than this parasite! "Lin Huang was confident in Charcoal's ability.
Charcoal flapped its wings and hovered in mid-air. It spat black dragon flames at the vine.
As the dragon flames touched the blood-colored vine, its body was instantly charred. It let out an ear-piercing shriek due to the intense pain and its body rolled around.
"The dragon flames are effective against it?!" Lin Huang's eyes lit up. Charcoal seemed to be able to suppress the parasite as soon as it entered the arena.
Monsters that could control the fire element were the nemesis of most plant-type monsters, let alone dragonkin that could spit dragon flames.
However, he soon noticed that the charred part of the blood-colored vine's body was recovering rapidly. It was almost at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. He frowned.
"This monster has the ability to regenerate at a super speed …"
The parasite was completely suppressed by Charcoal in the beginning as the dragon flames could indeed cause it pain and damage. Moreover, there would be black scars on its body when it was burned. It was afraid of Charcoal.
However, as its injuries recovered, it seemed to realize that Charcoal could not cause any substantial damage to it. It became bolder.
It was initially just taking hits but it slowly learned to fight back.
Its attack mode was very simple. The blood-colored vine kept twisting towards Charcoal. However, Charcoal dodged it easily each time. It was not a threat at all.
Both of them were in a stalemate. Charcoal's attack could not cause any damage and the blood-colored vine's attacks seemed to be useless against Charcoal. However, it still refused to give in.
"If this goes on, I don't know how long it'll take before there's a result." Lin Huang frowned as he watched the battle between the two, but he didn't make a move.
The reason for not attacking was simple. Even Charcoal's attack could not deal any damage to the parasite. Lin Huang did not think that his attack would be effective.
He knew very well that once he made a move, he would immediately become the parasite's target. In such an enclosed space, if it released a large number of Leech Pods, he wouldn't even have a place to hide. The probability of being hit was almost 100%.
Fortunately, the parasite did not seem to notice Lin Huang's presence at all. Charcoal alone was enough to make it too tired to care about anything else.
Although it had been suppressed by Charcoal, the parasite stubbornly refused to move and guarded the white energy body.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Lin Huang's temporary transformation time was up. He floated out of the ground and revealed his human form.
At this moment, Lin Huang heard Little Black's voice.
[We have been discovered.]
"How is that possible? Didn't you say that we wouldn't be discovered if we were 100 meters away? "Lin Huang was surprised.
[It's not my fault. Your aura has been exposed.]
Lin Huang just realized that his aura was different when he was in the form of a specter. However, his aura was exposed after an hour of the Specific Transformation Card's effect.
The blood-colored vines that were fighting with Charcoal seemed to have sensed Lin Huang's presence. They began to get agitated and attacked Charcoal more and more violently.
At the same time, the purple flowers on its body began to leave its body. Countless Leech Pods spread out in all directions.
Seeing that, Lin Huang crushed a Specific Transformation Card immediately and hid in a giant rock next to him. He was not sure if he would be affected by the Leech Pods when he was in the form of a specter but he did not plan to test it.
In less than a minute, the entire underground space was filled with countless Leech Pods. Not a single corner was spared.
Lin Huang was not worried about Charcoal as dragonkins were immune to many abilities. Even if Charcoal was infected, he could recall it back into card form and think of a way to deal with it.
In reality, Charcoal was not affected by the Leech Pods at all. Many of the Leech Pods were attached to its body but they could not penetrate through its scales.
As Lin Huang's aura disappeared, the blood-colored vines became even more agitated. Its Leech Pods were like its eyes as they covered almost the entire area. However, they could not find Lin Huang.
The blood-colored vines could faintly sense the consciousness of the abnormal energy body. It knew that the energy body was desperate to possess something from Lin Huang. It was extremely grateful to the energy body.
It was a seed that was the size of a sesame seed that floated into the area and landed near the energy body. In less than a month, it had grown into a monster that had its own consciousness. Moreover, it was a double mutated monster. It could be said that it was the energy body's doing.
Not only did it treat the energy body as a treasure, it also treated it as a family member that it could rely on.
That was the reason why it did not want to retreat even when it encountered a powerful enemy like Charcoal. It was determined to fight until the end.
However, the human that the energy body needed had disappeared and that made it very angry.
There was only one target in front of the blood-colored vines. However, the target was more powerful than itself and it could not defeat it with its current ability. That made it even more eager to become more powerful.
As soon as the thought came to its mind, the Leech Pods sensed it immediately. The Leech Pods that had completed their parasitism began to absorb the Life Light from the host's body.
The Life Light was transferred to the blood-colored vines through the air. Its aura began to grow stronger.
In Xiaoxia City, the people had no idea what was happening underground.
However, those who were infected by the Leech Pods, including the hosts that were captured by the hunters, began to faint as their Life Light was drained rapidly.
Charcoal, who was fighting with the blood-colored vines, soon noticed that something was wrong. The aura of the blood-colored vines that was initially bronze-level rank-3 began to grow and it was getting closer to silver-level.
Charcoal knew the urgency of the situation and began to attack faster in an attempt to stop the blood-colored vines from leveling up.
However, the blood-colored vines had completely fallen into madness. It felt that the increase in its strength was not enough.
"It's not enough. I want to become stronger!"
As this thought spread, countless Leech Pods in the entire underground space began to rise into the air, surging toward the crack above.
