Everyone held their breath as they watched the events unfolding beneath the tree.
The humanoid vines had a simple method of attack, but it was exceptionally effective against those nimble-footed demons.
The vines had high tensile strength and was able to restrain the demons’ movements. Winding around the bodies of the demons, the vines gradually tightened. In addition, new vines would immediately replace any part torn off by a demon. There was completely no chance for escape.
From afar, those demons appeared to be in a crazed frenzy. More and more vines wrapped around them as the noose around their necks slowly constricted.
Crack…
The clear crack of bone breaking carried over – that crisp sound giving one a tingling sensation all over.
The demons were defenseless against the humanoid vines, their necks being snapped off one by one.
Countless demon bodies dropped lifeless to the floor.
But…
Rapidly, another batch of demons approached from behind.
Ji Fengyan’s eyes hardened. She slashed her own wrist with her evil-vanquishing sword.
A big gush of fresh blood spurted out spraying all over the vines. The blood was absorbed by the humanoid vines in an instant, causing their bodies to become visibly bigger!
The originally finger-width thick vines had become as thick as a wrist. The dozens of humanoid vines instantly multiplied in numbers! Standing in a dense bunch, the criss-crossing thick vines had turned into a high wall – completely blocking off the demons.
Ji Fengyan tore off a piece of cloth and secured her wound. She swallowed an elixir before shouting at those dumbstruck youths. “Let’s go!”
Startled, the youths dared not hesitate a moment longer. They saw clearly how those humanoid vines had suddenly multiplied only because Ji Fengyan had fed them with her own blood. Although they still didn’t know what all this was, they understood clearly now.
This was an opportunity hard-won by Ji Fengyan’s blood sacrifice.
Without another second’s delay, the group immediately scurried high among the tree branches. They fled from the bloody scene with the quickest speed.
Those demons managed to shred all those humanoid vines into pieces after half a day’s efforts. They had also wasted a ton of combat energy in doing so. When they finally had time to continue their hunt, Ji Fengyan and the others had long vanished without a trace.
Roars of fury erupted from the demons. Their continuous howls spread across and beyond the forest.
It was already evening time.
The exhausted youths had finally escaped from the demons’ bloodthirsty pursuit. They were nearly numb with weariness, trembling all over when Ji Fengyan finally let them stop at a safe spot.
“Let’s rest here for a while.” Ji Fengyan jumped off a high spot on a tree. Forging ahead among the treetops was a good way to counter the demons’ pursuit of their scent. Only after crossing a small stream did Ji Fengyan feel it safe enough.
It was as if Ji Fengyan’s words finally woke the bunch of youths from their trance. Everyone plopped to the ground – but no one dared to take off their World-Termination-Armour.
At this moment, they all felt as if their entire bodies were coming loose.
Who could have known that so many demons would appear in a normal battle simulation. If not for Ji Fengyan, they would have long been disemboweled by those demons and ended up in the stomach of that azure ice giant.
