After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 126 Bauhinia Poison Ivy

Another hour had passed, so the group hurried on their way, heading towards the direction of the Bauhinia Poison Vine.

Along the way, Su Luo and Feng Xiyue picked up any useful spiritual plants and fruits they saw. Even when demonic beasts appeared, Su Luo and the others didn't need to do anything. The demonic beasts would run away in fear as soon as they saw the Hidden Yin Serpent, which allowed them to travel without any obstacles.

Chu Wenqing couldn't help but praise, "I must say, it's really quite enjoyable for us to act like foxes borrowing the tiger's power!"

The treacherous snake that was using someone else's power to bully others: ...

And so they walked faster and faster until the surroundings became quieter and quieter. The Hidden Yin Serpent also reminded them that they were almost at the location of the Purple Thorn Poison Vine. Only then did the group quiet down completely and take out their spiritual weapons, ready to go.

The closer you get to the location of the Poison Ivy, the sparser the vegetation becomes. Gradually, even shrubs and weeds become fewer and fewer, leaving only more and more exposed soil.

Until they saw several pieces of thick, broken vines lying on the ground, and the further they went, the more broken vines and branches appeared on the ground.

Chu Wenqing couldn't help but squat down, stretch out his arm to compare, and exclaimed in amazement, "Wow! A single vine is almost as thick as my arm!"

"Don't touch it carelessly, lest you hit the thorns," Su Luo reminded her, looking down.

Although the Hidden Shadow Serpent claimed that the Purple Thorn Poison Vine was not poisonous, but merely bound its prey and used the thorns to cause the prey to die in a hallucination before draining its nutrients, Su Luo didn't completely trust the Hidden Shadow Serpent. She only believed about 60-70% of what this cunning beast said. Caution was always the best policy!

"Don't worry, I've been prepared."

Chu Wenqing suddenly produced a wooden clip from somewhere, grinning as he picked up the vine and put it into his storage bag. "Senior Sister said that this Bauhinia Poison Vine is a rare alchemy plant, and it's extremely expensive! It would be such a waste for such a valuable treasure to fall to the ground. Why don't I pick up more so that I can make the most of it and exchange it for spirit stones? I'll treat you to a big meal later!"

"Besides, I'm not the only one picking them up." He gestured with his chin. "Look."

Su Luo followed his gaze and saw Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao picking up vines like busy little bees. The two walked forward and picked up vines without even looking up.

Su Luo: ……

Weren't we already allocating them two mines? Is it really necessary to do this?

Perhaps Su Luo's gaze was too intense, for Feng Xiyue looked up and met Su Luo's eyes. She paused for a moment, then gave an awkward smile, "Sorry, we're used to being poor, we really can't bear to part with these treasures~"

Su Luo thought about it and didn't say much to them, only saying lightly, "It's no fun picking up these small broken branches. If we can defeat the Bauhinia vine, the whole tree will be ours."

Upon hearing this, the three of them lit up and forgot all about picking up the broken branches.

Yes! I almost forgot! The Bauhinia Poison Ivy has tons of vines; once you defeat it, you can get as many vines as you want!

Su Luo smiled, her gaze fixed ahead. "Without further ado, let's continue."

"it is good!"

Remembering what the Hidden Serpent had said about the Bauhinia Poison Ivy falling into a deep sleep during the day, the group couldn't help but slow their pace, following the trail of the vines deeper and deeper. When they saw the situation in the center of the Bauhinia Poison Ivy, everyone subconsciously gasped.

Centered on the Bauhinia Poison Vine in the central area of ​​the teleportation array, the surrounding area is covered with dense, deep purple vines, resembling a giant spider web used to hunt prey. Unlike the vines, the roots of the Bauhinia Poison Vine are a vibrant green, with thick roots firmly anchored in the center of the teleportation array, absorbing the wisps of spiritual energy leaking from it.

What shocked them most was that most of the vines of this poisonous vine were tightly wrapped around one or more prey, binding them tightly, while the thorns of the vine were still stuck in the prey, constantly sucking their blood and life.

Most of these prey were cultivators. Even though they were tightly bound and having their blood sucked by the poisonous thorns, they did not wake up. They were all fast asleep as if in a beautiful dream, with eerie smiles on their lips, making the onlookers' scalps tingle.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Chu Wenqing subconsciously touched his arm, moving closer to Su Luo. "Holy crap... this is creepy! Are these people dead or not?"

Feng Xiyue nodded and whispered, "It's really not normal. We should be careful." Then she moved closer to Su Luo and took Su Luo's left arm.

Seeing that both of Su Luo's seats were taken, Song Qiao pursed his lips, reached out and carefully grabbed the hem of Su Luo's clothes. When Su Luo looked over, he showed a pitiful expression.

"I'm...sorry...I'm a little scared too..."

What's the point of you being afraid and holding me back?

Su Luo looked at the three timid-looking "kids" beside her, sighed, and ultimately said nothing.

She then turned to the Hidden Serpent and coldly ordered, "Go and scout ahead."

Hidden Yin Snake: ...

It knew this wicked woman had no good intentions! She actually made it eagerly go to its death!

Seeing that the Hidden Yin Serpent didn't react, Su Luo raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"

The Hidden Serpent shuddered and muttered, "I'll go..."

After saying that, the Hidden Yin Serpent twisted its body and slowly walked towards the roots of the Bauhinia Poison Vine. When the others were not looking, its inorganic snake eyes were full of ruthlessness.

Want to use it to get through here? Well, you'll have to see if you're lucky enough to have it!

Su Luo stared intently at the Hidden Yin Serpent's back, and seeing it slowly stalling for time, a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.

The Hidden Serpent hesitated for a while, figuring it was about to wake the Poisonous Vine, before finally approaching the roots. Just as it got close, it accidentally stepped on a vine and cried out, "Ouch!"

Almost simultaneously, the previously silent Bauhinia poison ivy suddenly twisted its body, and countless vines went berserk, attacking everyone and stirring up clouds of dust. The barbs on the vines also released venom.

As soon as Su Luo and the others come into contact with the venom, they will be instantly paralyzed and unable to escape. Then, the Poisonous Vine will use its vines to drag the prey to its roots, where it will become its nutrients!

However, these venomous stings were useless against the Hidden Shadow Snake, so while impatiently dodging the vines, it also kept an eye on what was behind it until it heard several thuds of people falling to the ground, at which point it was overjoyed.

Aaaaaah! It succeeded! All that humiliation and groveling to those bastards was worth it, making them lower their guard! Now they're completely doomed!

Thinking of this, the Hidden Yin Serpent threw its head back and laughed wildly, almost going insane with excitement. "Hahaha!!! You're finished!!! You thought you could get away with threatening me with the Heart Demon Oath? Hahaha! Fools! Even if I can't kill you, other things can still send you to your deaths!! Hahaha!!"

The Hidden Shadow Serpent was in a great mood and was about to go over and "enjoy" the desperate look on Su Luo and the others' faces as they were unable to move. However, before it could get there, it was stopped by the Bauhinia Poison Vine.

The Bauhinia Poison Ivy was a spirit plant with almost no intelligence; it was only through luck, aided by the spiritual energy of the teleportation array, that it was able to grow rapidly. Now, having just finished eating and fallen asleep, it was being disturbed, which was incredibly annoying! And for some reason, it felt itself growing increasingly angry, wanting nothing more than to snap everything in its path!

Want to leave? You can't go anywhere unless you become its food!

As a result, the vines swung wildly, raising dust everywhere, and even the cultivators who were tied to the vines were tossed around.

"Tch! Get out of here!!"

The Hidden Serpent, extremely impatient at being blocked, was repeatedly struck by the vines, its wounds opening and tearing open in excruciating pain. After several such attempts, it finally couldn't take it anymore. It fixed its gaze on the Purple Thorn Poison Vine and charged forward, unleashing all the pent-up anger within it.

The Hidden Serpent attacked while dodging, its tail sweeping out wind blades that severed all the vines, and its sharp forepaws tearing the poisonous vines in a few swift movements.

The Bauhinia poison vine felt no pain; it only attacked the Hidden Shadow Serpent more and more frantically, with vines occasionally wrapping around the serpent and binding it tighter and tighter.

The two sides were not far apart in strength, but the Hidden Serpent was more intelligent. After fighting for more than half an hour, the Hidden Serpent tore off all the vines of the Bauhinia Poison Vine, leaving only a huge, bare root, isolated and helpless.

"Ho...ho..."

The Hidden Shadow Serpent was covered in blood and could barely stand upright. Its scarlet eyes were fixed on the Bauhinia Poison Vine. Only after confirming that it could no longer attack did it raise a victor's smile.

"You think a mere broken tree can fight me?! I am the most powerful being in Cloud Mist Valley, you are nothing! Hmph! I'll dig up the tree and devour your tree spirit in a moment!"

This fight caused the Hidden Yin Serpent's cultivation level to drop to the late Foundation Establishment stage, but it doesn't matter! As long as it eats the tree spirit of the Purple Thorn Poison Vine and absorbs its cultivation, it can return to its peak!

Thinking of this, the smile on the Hidden Serpent's lips widened.

"Clap clap clap!"

Just then, a crisp applause rang out not far behind them, followed by a familiar sound that froze the blood of the Hidden Yin Serpent.

"You actually defeated the Purple Thorn Poison Ivy directly, without us even having to lift a finger. Tsk tsk tsk, well done!"

At that moment, the Hidden Yin Snake felt goosebumps all over its body, and a chill ran through its bones.
