As time passed, more and more people were infected by the Leech Pods in Xiaoxia City.
After the blood-colored vine broke through silver-level, its aura did not stop growing. Instead, it was getting stronger.
In less than two minutes after it broke through silver-level, there was an energy wave coming from its body. It had broken through silver-level rank-2.
As it broke through silver-level rank-2, the skin of the blood-colored vine became brighter.
As Charcoal pounced on it, one of the blood-colored vines collided with it.
"Boom!" This time, Charcoal was sent flying and smashed into a rock wall.
Although Lin Huang could not see what was happening outside, he could hear the sound of the wall being smashed and Charcoal's angry roar.
"Xiao Hei, how much longer do you need?" Lin Huang urged anxiously but he did not get an answer from Xiao Hei.
After sending Charcoal flying, the blood-colored vines began to bombard the ground in a frenzy.
Soon, the surrounding ground began to collapse under its powerful bombardment.
However, it could only attack the area around Lin Huang. It could not attack Lin Huang who was at the bottom.
Although that was the case, Lin Huang was anxious. He could feel from the vibrations around him that the area that he was at would collapse sooner or later.
Fortunately, the blood-colored vines stopped after a short while. It was once again entangled by Charcoal, who had pounced on it.
Knowing that he was at a disadvantage in terms of strength, Charcoal did not fight his opponent head-on. Instead, he chose to fight.
Flapping his wings, he dodged the blood-colored vine's attack while spitting dragon flames to harass it.
Although the Dragon Flame could not cause any substantial damage to it, it was still very painful to burn its body. This annoyed the blood-red vine to no end. It waved its vines in an attempt to chase Charcoal away. However, most of its attacks missed.
After a few times, it seemed to realize that Charcoal's goal was to harass it so that it would not attack the ground. Hence, it decided to ignore Charcoal and the vines turned into a drill, drilling into the ground.
In the soil underground, Lin Huang who had turned into a ghost had changed his vision. The soil was almost transparent in his eyes.
As soon as the vines pierced into the ground, he noticed it. He frowned and slowly floated up.
His entire body changed from a standing position to a lying position, his entire body tightly pressed against the bottom of the energy body.
The vines pierced into the ground like a drill. There were even a few times where Lin Huang was standing. However, its attacks missed.
Seeing that the drill was less than a meter away from him, Lin Huang could not help but break out in cold sweat. With the blood-colored vine's combat strength of a silver-level rank-2, he would definitely be injured if he was pierced by it.
Charcoal was worried that something would happen to Lin Huang. Seeing that, Lin Huang was stunned, Charcoal could not help but a sigh.
Although the blood-colored vine's combat strength and defense had increased tremendously, Charcoal's attacks were not as effective as before. However, under Charcoal's sharp claws and bites, the blood-colored vine's body was quickly injured.
It was annoyed by Charcoal's pestering, so it gave up on Lin Huang and turned to fight Charcoal.
The vines wrapped around Charcoal's neck. As its strength had surpassed Charcoal, Charcoal could not break free. It could only use its mouth and claws to struggle.
"Warning: Charcoal is under attack. Please recall it!"
A notification popped up in front of Lin Huang.
"Recall Charcoal!"
Lin Huang ordered without hesitation. He knew very well that if Charcoal died, the card would disappear as well. It was not easy to obtain an epic-level dragonkin. If it died before it could grow, Lin Huang could not accept it.
As soon as Lin Huang ordered, Charcoal turned into a card and returned to Lin Huang's body.
However, in the eyes of the blood-colored vine, Charcoal had completely disappeared. It was a little surprised.
After being absent-minded for a moment, it remembered that there was still a thief underground who was thinking about its energy body. It immediately attacked the surface again.
The vines that were as thick as an arm turned into a drill again and again, piercing into the ground.
"Xiao Hei, how much longer do you need? Say something!"
Lin Huang could not take it anymore. The attacks of the vines had almost covered the entire area. The closest attack was less than 20 centimeters away from the back of his head. At that time, if the rattan had bent slightly upwards, his head would have been pierced through.
"Alright!"
As soon as Xiao Hei spoke, Lin Huang felt the warm sensation on his palm disappear.
The blood-colored vine let out a crazy roar. One of its vines pierced through the top of Lin Huang's head. It was so fast that Lin Huang could not dodge it.
At this moment, Charcoal was summoned again. It blocked the sky above Lin Huang. Meanwhile, Lin Huang turned around and ran far away.
The blood-colored vine's fatal attack landed on Charcoal, piercing through its left wing. Black dragon blood spilled all over the ground.
Lin Huang turned around and saw that. He could not help but frown.
Initially, Lin Huang could have recalled Charcoal and run out of the underground space. However, he stood where he was.
"Recall Bai!" Lin Huang ordered.
The next moment, a silver-haired Bai appeared in the underground space.
"Advance it for the second time!" Lin Huang ordered.
He summoned Bai over to level up because he planned to let Bai and Charcoal work together to completely kill the parasite.
"Are you sure you want to consume two Advance Cards to advance Bai?"
"Yes!"
"Advance Card has been consumed …"
Two golden streams of light formed automatically in the void and circled around Bai. Soon, they transformed into a huge golden cocoon that enveloped him completely.
Lin Huang's abnormal aura attracted the blood-colored vine's attention. It saw the huge golden cocoon on the ground. It seemed to have realized something and immediately lashed out at the cocoon. It wanted to break the mutated cocoon and interrupt the mutation of the monster that appeared out of nowhere.
If it was a normal monster mutation, it might be interrupted by its attack. However, the process of card advancement was irreversible. Even a demigod would not be able to change the outcome. Naturally, the blood-colored vine's attack was futile.
The time taken for the advancement of the card was much shorter than the normal mutation. In less than a minute, the golden cocoon automatically disappeared.
A young man with white hair appeared in front of Lin Huang again. His appearance did not change much, but his aura was unique and dangerous. There was also a black mask on his face, covering half of his face.
"Congratulations, you have obtained an epic-level Monster Card - Four-winged Bloody Baron (God's Servant)."
At this moment, the blood-colored vine lashed out again.
Bai's eyes turned crimson and four crimson wings spread out from his back. He turned into a streak of crimson and disappeared from where he was.
His movement was so fast that Lin Huang could not capture it at all.
"Charcoal, you're in charge of defense. Work with Bai to kill this parasite!" Lin Huang instructed Charcoal.
The wound on Charcoal's wings healed at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. He was born with the Super Regeneration ability, so he could heal such a small wound in a short while.
Charcoal flapped its wings again and again to harass the blood-colored vine with Dragon Flame.
Now that the blood-colored vine did not have the healing ability given by the mutated energy, it could not ignore the Dragon Flame anymore.
On the other hand, the four crimson wings on Bai's back turned into four crimson blades and slashed at the blood-colored vine at a terrifying speed.
His body was like a bloody glow, shuttling back and forth in the underground space, slashing at the blood-colored vine again and again.
Although the blood-colored vines had a powerful defense, Bai's wings were as sharp as a gold-level equipment. Even though he could not cut the vines in one hit, he managed to leave a ghastly wound on Bai's body.
There were more and more wounds on the vine. It could not capture Bai's movements at all. Moreover, Charcoal was distracting it. Soon, it was exhausted by the attacks from both of them.
However, Lin Huang soon realized that the aura of the vine was increasing again. It was showing signs of a breakthrough.
What he did not know was that there were more than 100,000 people infected by the parasite in Xiaoxia City. Moreover, it was not limited to ordinary people and iron-level. Many bronze-level hunters and even some silver-level hunters were infected.
A silver glow appeared on the blood-colored vine again. It was a sign that it was going to breakthrough to silver-level rank-3.
Lin Huang could not care less. He quickly sank into the ground and ran towards the blood-colored vine.
When he arrived below it, he jumped out of the ground and removed the Specific Transformation Card. He held the black sword relic in his hand and slashed at the wound that Bai had caused earlier with the Thunder Sword.
Lin Huang's attack was as fast as lightning. The blood-colored vine was caught off guard by the sudden attack.
Its gigantic body was sliced into half by the sharp blade of the relic.
Although it was cut into half, the blood-colored vine did not die immediately. Instead, it attacked Lin Huang. A vine that had turned into a drill bit pierced through Lin Huang's abdomen and came out from his waist. The impact of the attack sent his body into the air. At first glance, it really did look like a piece of cured meat that was hung on a hook.
Lin Huang spat out a mouthful of blood. Before he lost consciousness, he immediately ordered, "Use the Healing Card!"
When he woke up, he saw Bai and Charcoal guarding him as soon as he opened his eyes.
"Where's the parasite?" He immediately sat up and saw that the blood-colored vines on the ground not far away were no longer moving.
"Did you really kill it?!" Lin Huang could not believe that he did it.
"Congratulations, you have obtained an epic-level parasite card. The parasite is a new type of monster. There's no name yet. You can customize it. "
