By killing ordinary fourth-rank Heavenly Gods, Lin Huang could only plunder twenty thousand to twenty-five thousand Rule Bending Powers from each one.
However, a fourth-rank Night Demon Fir could provide Lin Huang with eight to one hundred thousand Rule Bending Powers, which was almost four times more than a Heavenly God of the same combat strength.
The higher the combat strength of the Night Demon Fir, the more Rule Bending Powers they possessed.
To Lin Huang, this monster was undoubtedly the best monster to gain EXP.
As he led the team forward, apart from the beginner-level monsters for Tu Tong and Lan Ling to practice on, he killed the rest right away. He did not give Virtuoso and Saber9 a chance to attack at all.
Virtuoso and Saber9 did not say anything. Both of them had begun to notice that Lin Huang seemed to be particularly passionate about killing certain monsters.
This was because he clearly could not be bothered to attack some of the monsters, but he would fight to kill others.
However, both of them could not figure out what Lin Huang's interest in monsters was. To them, the few monsters that Lin Huang fought to kill did not seem to have anything in common.
In the Demonic Fir Forest, the team kept moving forward.
Before long, the number of Rule Bending Powers Lin Huang had obtained easily exceeded one million, which was several times faster than killing ordinary monsters.
Suddenly, Lan Ling's reminder came, "There's a Dead Spirit Vine just a little further ahead."
Dead Spirit Vines were vine monsters that parasitized the Demonic Firs. While they absorbed nutrients from the Demonic Firs, they would also give back their own powers to help the Demonic Firs hunt. Their attacks were different from the Demonic Firs, which were physical. Instead, they directly affected the soul.
Once the Dead Spirit Vine's absorption of nutrients exceeded the Demonic Firs' capacity, the Dead Spirit Vines would usually choose to leave the Demonic Firs and find a stronger Demonic Firs to parasitize again to prevent the Demonic Firs from being damaged. As for the powerful Dead Spirit Vines, if their absorption rate could not be satisfied by a single Demonic Firs, they would choose multiple Demonic Firs to share the burden. However, such powerful Dead Spirit Vines usually possessed terrifying abilities and could support the hunting of multiple Demonic Firs.
The symbiosis between the Dead Spirit Vines and the Demonic Firs was a virtuous cycle of mutual benefit.
To the Night Demon Firs, the Dead Spirit Vines were even more helpful. This was because when they were asleep during the day, the Dead Spirit Vines would take the initiative to hunt and kill all creatures that invaded their territory.
When they heard Lan Ling's reminder, everyone in the team perked up and became even more cautious.
The Dead Spirit Vine's combat ability was stronger than the Demonic Fir of the same combat power, and it had many tricks up its sleeve. By cooperating with the Demonic Fir Trees, the overall strength of both sides would increase greatly.
However, when Lin Huang heard this reminder, the first thought that flashed through his mind was, 'As parasites of the Night Demon Firs, would the number of rules and order in these Dead Spirit Vines' bodies be similar to the Night Demon Firs?! '
Thinking of this, Lin Huang's eyes lit up again.
If that was the case, it meant that he could plunder double the experience points and double the happiness!
Of course, Virtuoso and the rest had no idea what was going on in Lin Huang's mind.
Lin Huang seemed to be cautiously leading the team forward, but they didn't go far before they encountered another round of sneak attacks.
This wave of attacks was very different from the previous ones. The Night Demon Firs and the Dead Spirit Vines attacked at the same time.
The sky was filled with vines and branches, and the intensity of the attacks was several times stronger than before. Furthermore, this wave of attacks attacked all the members of the team indiscriminately.
The other members of the team were on high alert. Even Saber9's expression grew more serious.
As for Virtuoso, although no expression could be seen through the mask, it was obvious that they were no longer as relaxed as before.
This was because the vines and branches intertwined, so it was very difficult to tell which was the spiritual attack from the Dead Spirit Vines and which was the physical attack from the Night Demon Firs.
Lin Huang was the only one who was unusually excited.
Seeing the attacks that were as dense as rain, he pointed a finger directly and activated Mirror, enveloping everyone in the team.
This time, there was nothing wrong with activating Mirror. It looked like he was worried that his companions would not be able to handle it. Lin Huang was the only one who knew that the actual purpose of this wave of attacks was only to steal kills.
Mirror hovered steadily above everyone's heads. At first, Virtuoso and the rest were a little worried that this defense would not be able to withstand spirit-type attacks. However, they soon realized that Lin Huang's Mirror was far more powerful than they had imagined. Very soon, they relaxed and entered a state of watching the show.
In the air, vines and vines attacked like a storm. However, the moment they touched Mirror, they shot back at an even faster speed.
Immediately afterward, shrill cries filled the air in the mist.
A moment later, the attacks that blotted out the sky disappeared completely. Behind the mist, there was complete silence.
Lin Huang had only used one finger to suppress everyone present.
Tu Tong and Lan Ling were completely dumbfounded. They did not return to their senses for a long time.
Virtuoso and Saber9 exchanged a glance as well. They could see the shock in each other's eyes that was difficult to conceal. This defense technique was simply too invincible!
Meanwhile, Lin Huang stood where he was, experiencing the feeling of an ocean of rules surging into his body.
This simple finger had allowed him to obtain up to a million EXP worth of rules again.
He also sensed that his earlier speculation had been confirmed.
The number of rules in each Dead Spirit Vine's body was about the same as the Night Demon Firs that were parasitic.
This round of harvesting really made him feel double the joy!
After deactivating Mirror, Lin Huang extended his telekinetic threads and dragged the corpses back one by one.
He finally saw the Dead Spirit Vines themselves.
They were black vines, varying in thickness from the thickness of an adult's thigh to the thickness of a water bucket. They looked like giant pythons.
What was special was that these vines did not look exactly the same. Apart from the fact that they were black in color, they were all different.
Some of them were covered in spikes, some were covered in tumors, some were covered in scales, and some were covered in venom …
Although the vines would split into countless branches when the Dead Spirit Vines attacked, one could imagine what would happen if one's soul were to be hit by these vines.
Lan Ling and Tu Tong watched from the side, feeling a little scared.
"Keep them. Even in the universe, the Dead Spirit Vines are considered a pretty good main material for refining spirit-type weapons," Virtuoso said with a smile, "We should be able to sell them for a good price once we get out."
Lin Huang raised his brow when he heard that. He had not expected to reap such an unexpected reward.
Soul-type god relics were usually expensive because the materials for refining them were very rare, let alone god sequence relics used by Heavenly Gods.
The Dead Spirit Vines were the main material for refining god sequence relics. Of course, they would not be cheap, and the demand would not be small either.
The information provided by Virtuoso made Lin Huang even more interested in hunting the Dead Spirit Vines.
This time, it was not just double the joy — it was triple the joy!
