Chapter 368 From Those Around Us
"What's going on!" Chen Feng's eyes widened.
Even though Zhou Nanchu's attacks were all defended, why did our cultivators keep getting hit?
"help me!"
"Don't come any closer! Swift Heavenly Fire, burn! Why can't it burn!"
"It's devouring my flesh, help, ugh—!"
The cultivators were in a panic, and were even flustered and exhausted from dealing with the situation.
One after another, vines appeared abruptly, like maggots clinging to bones.
Their numbers and locations vary, and no one knows exactly how they were infected.
Mingming was still casting spells in the previous lesson, forming a large formation with others, and fighting back and forth with Zhou Nanchu.
In the blink of an eye, it was bound by vines, its flesh and blood pierced by roots.
Their spiritual power was drained, but they were powerless to retaliate and could only wail in agony.
Their miserable state was no different from that of the mortals who had been hit by the red talisman before.
The cultivator who was hit showed resentment in his eyes, but could only fall to the ground.
Each and every one of them is an elite among elites; in the outside world, they would be either sect elders or leaders of powerful forces.
But here, they became ants that no one would remember.
Amidst the overwhelming magic, it was silently swallowed up by heaven and earth.
"How could this be?" Chen Feng's eyes widened as he muttered to himself.
Seeing that Zhou Nanchu couldn't do anything to them, they thought they had the upper hand and could discuss interests.
Under pressure from the Great Emperor, Red Apricot Cliff could not possibly keep the secret of the Immortal Blood Medicine.
Furthermore, the fact that the female healer has already become symbiotic with Zhe Shawei adds even more uncertainty.
Zhou Nanchu had no choice but to sit down and discuss with them, conceding some benefits.
In the blink of an eye, the elite team turned into a disorganized mess.
Not only was the great formation broken, but everyone was also wary and dared not trust others.
With a formidable enemy at hand, they wouldn't stoop to stabbing someone in the back.
However, the suddenly appearing vines also accidentally injured several people.
Someone tried to help, but was restrained by the vines, which entangled and pierced his dantian, causing him to lose all his strength.
Those vines are difficult to cut with metal and iron, and cannot be destroyed by ice or fire.
Once it pierces flesh and blood and disrupts spiritual energy, everything is over.
"Let's retreat!" Li Hui repelled the snake staff and rushed to his side. "This place is no place to stay any longer, let's leave quickly!"
Staying any longer would not only bring no benefit, but could also lead to death.
Li Hui pulled Chen Feng along, the strongest among the cultivators, to make it easier to break through.
Entering the secret realm will result in rejection from the world, and leaving will also be fraught with danger.
Finding a helper will make the process easier.
Chen Feng glanced at it unwillingly: "Alright, let's repel the Serpent Staff first!"
Wow!
The serpent staff split into three more, which came crashing down on him.
Without hesitation, Li Hui manipulated the Ghost Needle Bees to block them.
A dense swarm of dark green bees stretched for miles, obscuring all view.
Li Hui said, "The Ghost Needle Bees can delay for a while, during which time the Serpent Staff will also be unable to cross the boundary!"
"Let's leave immediately!"
Chen Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "What a magnificent formation!"
The swarm of bees formed a living array, which was quite powerful, even surprising this array master.
Every profession has its top performers, and Li Hui, as one of the strongest cultivators, certainly has some skill.
With the help of powerful individuals and the treasures bestowed by the Emperor's forces, even those at the Saint Realm would find it difficult to break through in a short time.
Li Hui proudly said, "Of course, the Ghost Needle Bee is a sacred magical artifact, extremely rare throughout history."
"These mortals from the lower realms, they probably haven't even seen them before..."
Snapped!
Suddenly, Li Hui's expression changed: "What...what's going on?"
Chen Feng's pupils shrank: "When did you fall for this trick!"
Swish!
In just a moment, Li Hui was enveloped by dark green vines.
He roared furiously, "Why! Why me!"
"Get lost, go bother someone else!"
Get off me!
Li Hui had his own pride; he believed he was the strongest among the group.
Even Chen Feng's methods were nothing more than array formations that he looked down upon, so it was nothing special.
As for the hermit of the Ten Thousand Bones Cave, he was merely relying on the power of the Imperial Treasure; he was nothing special in himself.
But now, Li Hui felt his defenses crumble.
Despite his best efforts to prevent it, he still couldn't stop the strange vines.
Watching the dark green branches spread and entwine around my body, getting tighter and tighter.
The humiliation in Li Hui's heart was even greater than the fear of death.
He suddenly realized that he was having difficulty breathing.
Cultivators practice fasting, which means they don't need to eat, and breathing is just a habit.
If it weren't for the need to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, this function would be unnecessary.
Li Hui felt difficulty breathing, which meant that the vines had pierced his flesh and blood and begun to absorb his essence.
Without spiritual power, one is just a mortal body, and will feel sad if one cannot breathe.
I'm afraid it can only be used for anatomical medicine, as Zhou Nanchu said!
"Get out, get out, get out!" Li Hui roared furiously, struggling to fight back, "Ghost Needle Bees, tear it to shreds!"
Buzz!
The dark green array, disregarding its defenses against the serpent staff, charged towards the vines.
It revealed its sharp, enormous mandibles and bit down hard.
Dang Dang Dang!
The sharp teeth that could easily tear apart divine iron and eat rocks like tofu were now only scattering dense sparks!
The vines had already wrapped around most of Li Hui's body, and each attack from the ghost bees could only produce an even more ear-piercing metallic clang.
No matter how hard you try to bite, you can't break through the vines' defenses.
"Even a bee can't bite through it?" Li Hui's eyes were filled with confusion. "This... is a sacred-grade magic artifact..."
He had lost all his means of dealing with poison; even if there were a thousand kinds of poison in his storage bag, they would be of no use whatsoever.
If even the Gryphon bee can't break through the defense, what use are other methods?
Li Hui also lost his strength and crashed to the ground.
The bees persisted relentlessly, still chasing their master, leaving a long, dark trail behind them.
Chen Feng stared in disbelief, his heart growing colder.
Li Hui, who was second only to himself, also fell victim to the virus!
Therefore, it seems that if Zhou Nanchu is willing, none of these people will be able to escape.
"He's just a Saint Realm cultivator, how could he!" Chen Feng's heart trembled. "Why did Li Hui fall for it? What's the pattern? What methods did Zhou Nanchu use?"
He looked around and saw a group of cultivators who were equally confused.
Nobody knows why they will get infected or when they will get infected.
Everyone was lost and confused, feeling increasingly desolate.
If you can't even predict your opponent's attack, how can you possibly defend yourself?
"Huh? It's him?!"
Suddenly, Chen Feng seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes widened sharply: "The person being parasitized has a complete protective aura and will never be contaminated by the poisonous mist and miasma."
"The serpent staff definitely didn't break through the defense; it's impossible for it to affect us from the outside."
"so--!"
Since the danger doesn't come from outside, it must come from right next to us!
Even on their bodies!
"Throw away the Qiankun bag!" Chen Feng suddenly shouted at a cultivator.
"Huh?" The cultivator was confused, but instead gripped the Qiankun bag tightly.
Foolish! In such a dangerous moment, who would be willing to abandon their treasure?
If you get injured, you must take a pill immediately.
Especially since Zhou Nanchu just gave us so many top-grade spiritual herbs, wouldn't it be foolish to throw them away now?
The cultivator looked at Chen Feng as if he were a fool.
Wow!
Just then, his Qiankun bag suddenly trembled.
