In the rain, the spiritual beasts all hid in their nests, as if they couldn't find a good target to attack. Thus, the three of them advanced slowly in the rain.
Qu Chu didn't have an umbrella or a cloak in the rain, but the rainwater flowed down his body, not drenching his clothes at all. This was a little shocking. Lin Muyu also had a basic understanding of the Holy Domain, and he was very shocked. Qu Chu only smiled at the shocked lad and said, "Every Heaven Realm expert can turn their True Qi into Battle Energy. That's an even stronger power. With the protection of Battle Energy, you will naturally be impervious to fire and water."
Lin Muyu nodded, not really understanding. Tang Xiaoxi took off her cloak and revealed a beautiful face. She smiled and said, "Qu Chu, what kind of beast's spirit do you think I need to refine to help my Fire Fox Martial Soul grow?"
Qu Chu said, "The Fire Fox is of the fire attribute, so it's naturally better to absorb the spirit of a fire attribute beast. However, the rain is slippery, and the fire attribute spiritual beasts are all hiding in their dry nests. I don't think you'll be able to find one even if you want to. Moreover, Princess Xi is about to enter the Earth Realm, so you'll need to absorb at least 2000 beast's spirit, which will be even harder to find. However, Lin Muyu's green gourd might be able to find a good enough spiritual beast."
"Is it because the green gourd is of the plant attribute, and the rain is the best time for plants to grow?"
"That's right."
Qu Chu looked at the dense forest in front of him and said, "Get off the horse and walk. We'll enter the forest and see if we can find one or two suitable plant attribute spiritual beasts."
"Okay!"
…
The three of them dismounted from their horses and held onto the reins as they walked through the dense forest. At this moment, the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the pitter-patter of the raindrops could be heard. Lin Muyu furrowed his brows. He did not have Qu Chu's level of cultivation, nor did he have Tang Xiaoxi's waterproof cloak. His entire body was already drenched, but it did not matter, he could endure this little bit of hardship.
"Be careful!"
Qu Chu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the two youngsters. He pointed to a black plant in front of them and said, "Let's go around it. There's a plant that's currently eating."
"Meat plate?" Lin Muyu was stunned. "What's that?"
Tang Xiaoxi stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "Mu, the Carnivorous Plate is a plant-type spiritual beast. In fact, it's also a kind of wild beast. It specializes in eating rotten corpses. It's not very aggressive, but it's highly poisonous. Let's avoid it! Qu, how old is this plate? "
Qu Chu said, "There are a total of seven black circles on the top of its head. It should be a 70-year-old meat dish. Forget it, the spirit of this plant type spirit beast isn't pure, it's not worth using."
Lin Muyu stared at it fixedly. Could this millstone-sized plant really eat meat?
The next moment, it seemed to feel that someone was staring at it. The slightly trembling millstone-sized plant slowly raised its "face". It was a face full of barbs and mucus. It was hideous and terrifying. Below the face, there was a mouth that was chewing on the carcass of a young wild boar on the ground. For a moment, the stench filled the air.
"Ugh, so disgusting …" Tang Xiaoxi covered her nose and quickly led her horse away.
Qu Chu said, "Brat, stop looking. Let's go!"
"Okay!"
…
Lin Muyu hurriedly chased after it, but she was still in a state of shock. The Seven Star Forest was indeed an inhumane place. There were even these kinds of monsters. This carnivorous plate was something that she had never seen before in the game. It seemed that not everything in this world matched up with the game's timeline!
After walking for a long distance, the three of them couldn't find the path anymore. They could only cut their way through the thorns. Lin Muyu also pulled out the sharp steel sword from her back and walked in front of Tang Xiaoxi to cut the thorns. As they walked, suddenly, a green vine appeared on the ground. It was so green that even the steel sword couldn't cut it. Lin Muyu couldn't help but be shocked, "What kind of vine is this? Why is it so tough?"
Qu Chu only glanced at it and said in a low voice, "Stop cutting, or you'll die!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Muyu hurriedly stopped.
Qu Chu's eyes lit up as he looked around. He smiled and said, "It seems that we've met the legendary Green Vine Monster. Hehe, we're really lucky!"
"Green Vine Monster?" Tang Xiaoxi smiled excitedly and said, "I've seen the description of this kind of spirit beast in the Hundred Beasts Chart, but I've never seen it in person. Where is it?"
"Princess Xi, you have to be careful. This Green Vine Monster has at least 500 years of cultivation!"
"Ah?" Tang Xiaoxi opened her small mouth, "Then it should be very strong?"
"Yes."
Qu Chu pointed forward and said, "Boy, your spirit beast has appeared. Do you see the red crown of the grass in front of you? That's the head of the Green Vine Monster. Go, kill this Green Vine Monster, but you must be careful of its vines. If you get entangled, I'm afraid even a god wouldn't be able to save you. Remember, I won't save you. If you can't kill this Green Vine Monster, then you'll become its delicious meal. This Green Vine Monster eats plants and also humans!"
Qu Chu's words were firm and unquestionable.
Of course, Lin Muyu also knew the pros and cons. She took a deep breath, but she wasn't in a hurry to make a move. Instead, she dipped all the arrows in her quiver in a paralyzing potion and drank a bottle of Stoneskin potion. If her defense was strong enough, she shouldn't be killed so easily.
Tang Xiaoxi stood at the side and summoned her martial soul. The Fire Fox appeared on her shoulder and seemed eager to fight. She smiled and said in a low voice, "Mu, be careful when you fight. But don't worry, if you really can't defeat this Green Vine Monster, I'll secretly help you even if Qu doesn't help you!"
Lin Muyu smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Princess Xi."
After saying that, he stepped forward, drew his bow, aimed at the head of the Green Vine Monster, and shot an arrow. After all, the Green Vine Monster was a plant, so it was always in a deep sleep. The arrow hit its head with a 'pu' sound and splashed a bit of emerald green juice, but it was definitely not fatal. No plant would die from one arrow.
"Rustle, rustle …"
Rustling sounds came from the ground, and the soil was flipped up. Vines emerged from all directions and gathered around the Green Vine Monster. The head of the tree suddenly rose, and suddenly, a huge Green Vine Monster rose from the ground. It was actually three meters tall, and it was really a huge monster! Thousands of green vines twisted like poisonous snakes, and one of them suddenly reached towards Lin Muyu with a biting cold killing intent. This 500-year spirit beast's killing intent could be seen the moment it attacked.
"Swoosh!"
The green vine tentacle swept past like lightning, and it was about to pierce through Lin Muyu's chest. This was the Green Vine Monster's specialty, and countless cultivators had died under this move since ancient times.
However, Lin Muyu was not one of those people. He saw it clearly, and with a slide, he dodged like a shadow. Even Qu Chu was shocked, "What a beautiful movement technique!"
That was the Butterfly Steps of the Fallen Star Steps. The Fallen Star Steps had a total of three movement techniques, Butterfly Steps, Star Steps, and Glory Steps. The Butterfly Steps focused on moving in a curve, and it was a necessary movement technique in battle. The Star Steps allowed one to move as if they were flying, and their speed would increase exponentially. The Glory Steps was more profound, and it was a movement technique similar to flashing. It could instantly increase one's speed to the extreme, but it would not last long.
After dodging with the Butterfly Steps, Lin Muyu raised his right hand and pulled out his steel sword. He slashed at the green vine in front of his chest!
"Peng!"
He still couldn't cut it, but the juice had already splashed out.
"So tough …" He was shocked.
Qu Chu watched from afar, and he said in a deep voice, "Young man, learn how to integrate the power of your Martial Spirit. Your green gourd can provide you with a very good source of power. Concentrate the power of your Martial Spirit into your arms and the blade, and you will be able to cut off the vine arm of a 500 years old Spiritual Beast!"
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh …"
Lin Muyu's situation was not looking good. The Green Vine Monster had already used more than ten green vine arms to attack and entangle him. If it weren't for the Fallen Star Steps, he would have been killed by the vine arms.
While dodging the attacks of the vine arms, he silently circulated his Zhen Qi and awakened his Martial Spirit. Suddenly, the green glow of the green gourd slowly appeared on his arms. The power went through his arms and into his weapon. He turned around and chopped down. "Crack!" A crisp sound was heard. One of the vine arms of the green vine spirit had been chopped off. Green juice splashed everywhere.
"Beautiful!" Tang Xiaoxi smiled and cheered.
But at the same time, Lin Muyu's back shook. His back was hit by one of the vine arms of the Green Vine Monster. He quickly bent down, but his chest was hit again, and he rolled on the ground. He felt a burning pain, and blood seeped out of his clothes. He was injured.
"Ah?"
Tang Xiaoxi was shocked. She felt the heat in her palm, and the Fire Fox Martial Spirit appeared. She roared, and the fire soared into the sky. She was going to attack!
Qu Chu quickly shouted, "Princess Xi, don't! He can only rely on himself to pass this, or else he won't be able to surpass his own strength, and he will never know where his limit is. If you really care about him, you must believe in him! "
"But …" Tang Xiaoxi was speechless for a while, and she could only continue to watch Lin Muyu being chased by the Green Vine Monster.
…
She used the Falling Star Steps to escape, and at the same time, she turned around and pulled out her bow to shoot. The power of her Martial Spirit was concentrated in her arms, and each arrow almost penetrated the trunk of the Green Vine Monster, but it didn't seem to be fatal.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle …"
The surroundings shook violently, and suddenly, the ground was lifted up. Thousands of vines rose from the ground, and directly tied Lin Muyu up. She actually fell into the Green Vine Monster's trap!
"Stupid Mu!"
Tang Xiaoxi looked into the distance in shock.
Qu Chu closed his eyes and sensed Lin Muyu's aura fluctuation from afar. The corners of his mouth curled up as he said with a smile, "Don't worry, Princess Xi. This kid's life is very tough. He won't die so easily.
Sure enough, after a loud shout, the steel sword pierced through the green vines, and cut down dozens of vines. Lin Muyu stepped out. Although he was in a sorry state, he wasn't dead yet.
Qu Chu said loudly, "The Green Vine Monster's weakness is its head. As long as you can cut off its head, you can kill it!"
Damn old man, why didn't you say so earlier!
Lin Mu Yu endured the pain in her body and activated the [Falling Star Steps]. She leaped into the air and stepped on the Green Vine Spirit's vine arm as she dashed forward. Her speed was so fast that she was like a bolt of lightning.
Qu Chu was secretly shocked. This guy is really a freak, where did he get such a fast speed? Logically speaking, with his cultivation level, even if he drank a first-grade Speed Potion, he shouldn't be able to move so fast!
