At the fork in the passage, Yi Tian couldn't determine which path Xun Wang Shizi had taken. His expression changed and he couldn't help but become impatient.
At this moment, the vibration came from under his feet again and the entire passage shook. A lot of gravel leaked out from the top of the passage, which made Yi Tian's eyes light up. It was clear that the concentration of cold qi on the left path was increasing. Although he wasn't sure, Duan Xiaolou had most likely taken this path.
He focused his mind and spread out his divine sense to the furthest. However, his divine sense seemed to be restricted by the restrictions in the Hundred Herb Corridor. At most, he could only detect three to four kilometers away.
However, this was enough. Yi Tian felt a high-frequency spirit pressure fluctuation coming from the depths of the passage. Needless to say, Duan Xiaolou and someone should be fighting.
Yi Tian pushed off from his feet and jumped into the left passage like an arrow. Along the way, he glanced at the restrictions on the stone walls and found that there was a gravity barrier around this place. The further he flew, the greater the effect of the barrier. When he was one kilometer away, he would have to consume 10% more spirit force to maintain his speed.
Not long after, he saw a mess in the distance. The passage seemed to have come to an end. There was also the sound of spells colliding. After Yi Tian rushed out of the passage, he saw lightning flashing before him.
Two spells, one red and one blue, were fiercely colliding, causing disorderly arcs of spirit force to shoot around the cave.
The blue spirit force emitted bursts of cold air. This was naturally Duan Xiaolou's spell. However, Yi Tian found that Duan Xiaolou was no longer as free and easy as before. Without the advantage of time and place, and with the restriction of the surrounding runes, it was naturally more strenuous to fight here than in the outside world.
His opponent turned out to be a spirit plant. When Yi Tian saw the appearance of the spirit plant, he was stunned. Wasn't this the Asura Blood Vine of the Asura Imperial Family? However, this Asura Blood Vine was in its mature form. He had never heard of an Asura Blood Vine before. When a mature Asura Blood Vine matured, its entire body would be crimson red, and the flower bud in its center would open to a length of three feet. In the center of the flower bud, there would be many red stalks, and from time to time, a fishy red liquid would flow out.
In addition to the stamens, there were many vines extending out from the surroundings. The thinnest of these vines was as thick as a baby's arm, while the thickest was at least as thick as a bucket.
The blue spiritual light in Duan Xiaolou's hand was obviously infused with the cold air of the Black Yin Primordial Water. It was the nemesis of the Asura Blood Vines. However, it seemed that he had been fighting for quite some time now, and his spiritual energy had been greatly depleted. Otherwise, he would not have been suppressed by his opponent.
Seeing that he had appeared in time, Duan Xiaolou shouted, "Brother Yi, let's work together and get rid of this Asura Blood Vine."
Yi Tian hurriedly replied, "Be careful, Crown Prince. Let me help you." After saying that, Yi Tian took out the Taiyuan Sword and held it in his hand. Then, it turned into thousands of thin threads and pierced toward the stamen of the Asura Blood Vine.
Unexpectedly, Duan Xiaolou shouted anxiously, "No, Brother Yi, don't anger it."
Before he could finish speaking, the thousands of thin threads had already struck the Asura Blood Vines like raindrops, leaving behind many tiny wounds on the Asura Blood Vine. Suddenly, a large amount of red juice flew out and turned into a rain of blood.
Duan Xiaolou exclaimed, "Be careful, it's poisonous." After saying that, he retreated first.
Yi Tian also realized that he had acted too recklessly, so he flew back to the passage he came from.
After a few sizzling sounds, the red vines suddenly sprang out from the entrance of the passage and blocked his retreat.
The red juice flew onto the surrounding stone walls and immediately made sizzling sounds. At the same time, it left behind many small scars.
Yi Tian did not expect the Asura Blood Vine's juice to be so corrosive. He immediately felt his scalp go numb. The juice that splashed onto his protective barrier continuously consumed his spirit power, increasing his already heavy spirit power consumption by 30%.
However, Yi Tian suddenly realized that the weight on his body was gradually disappearing. After scanning with his Divine Will, he discovered that the restriction runes that were originally engraved on the walls of this cave had been scratched off by the commotion just now.
As a result, the heavy environment that originally restricted him gradually lost its effect.
When he turned around and saw that Duan Xiaolou had also recovered, Yi Tian asked, "Crown Prince, do you have any good ideas?"
"We can't fight it head-on. Let's retreat for now and come back to try again after resting. This Asura Blood Vine is at least 20,000 to 30,000 years old. We won't be able to take advantage of it even if we forcefully attack, "Duan Xiaolou replied.
"Fine, let's retreat first. Crown Prince, you go first. I'll cover you," Yi Tian replied in a deep voice. Since he had made up his mind to leave, there was no need to consider anything else. After putting away the Taiyuan Sword, Yi Tian hurriedly took out the Nirvana Golden Bell and shook it rapidly. He used the remaining force of the sound wave to shake away the surrounding vines.
When Duan Xiaolou saw that the path ahead was open, his face lit up with joy. He sprinted toward the entrance of the tunnel, but before he reached the exit, there was a violent vibration from below.
Immediately after, the soil under his feet suddenly burst open, and a vine as thick as a water bucket suddenly sprang out from the ground and blocked in front of him.
At the tip of the blood-colored vine was a crimson flower bud that was about three meters in size.
With a bang, the flower bud opened, revealing two square stamens that covered Duan Xiaolou from head to toe. They hit the retreating Duan Xiaolou and held him down.
Yi Tian was shocked. If Duan Xiaolou died here, he would not be able to get away with it. There would be a lot of trouble then.
He raised the Taiyuan Sword and slashed at the neck of the flower bud. However, he did not expect the Asura Blood Vine to be so intelligent. After sensing the danger, it immediately shrank back into the ground with a whoosh.
Yi Tian looked around in the blink of an eye and saw the soil beside the main stem rapidly arching up. After ten breaths, several vines rose from the ground. One of them was the flower bud that had swallowed Duan Xiaolou.
However, at that moment, the flower bud emitted a faint blue light, and a layer of frost condensed around it. The flower bud started to freeze from the inside out. The flower bud seemed to be affected by the cold air and gradually wilted. In the end, it was frozen into a straight ice pillar that stood there.
Yi Tian knew that Duan Xiaolou's life was not in danger yet. He was just trapped for a while. It seemed that he had to think of a way to rescue him first. Looking at the Asura Blood Vine in front of him, Yi Tian raised the Ice Essence Flame in his hand.
He originally wanted to use the Wood Vine Technique to deal with the Asura Blood Vine. That would be the best way to deal with the Asura Blood Vine. However, he did not know Duan Xiaolou's current state. If Duan Xiaolou knew that he could control the Asura Blood Vine, it would definitely not be a good thing.
Fortunately, Duan Xiaolou reminded him that the Ice Essence Flame would be equally effective even if he did not have the cold True Qi.
