Chapter 12 The Spirit of Plants
"The Octopus Beast King?!"
A name suddenly popped into Lin Yi's mind.
"No, it's probably not a Beast King yet, just a King-level monster!"
Whether it's a Beast King or a King-level monster, it makes no difference to Lin Yi, who is at the intermediate-level warrior level; they are both beings he cannot resist.
There was no time to react. In a fraction of a second, the long, purple, scale-covered tail had already crossed space and lashed out at him. The sheer force of the attack was enough to make his body ache as if it were being cut by a knife.
"Damn it!"
Lin Yi could only reflexively swing the divine sword in his hand and slash at it.
But he knew it was all in vain.
Boom~! !
Lin Yi felt a powerful force surge beneath his feet, throwing him backward into the air. The gale-force winds carried by the long, purple, scale-covered tail grazed his cheeks...
The gale alone tore apart the B6 combat suit worth millions, and Lin Yi's consciousness went black as he fainted from the pain.
He didn't want to either, but having lived two lives, Lin Yi was genuinely afraid of pain!
A King-level monster is as powerful as a god against a Mid-level warrior.
Before Lin Yi lost consciousness, he vaguely saw a golden vine, about the thickness of a bowl, lashing towards the long, purple-scaled tail...
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yi slowly awoke on the white stone beach.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
Lin Yi felt as if his body was about to fall apart.
"Master, is this Kirishima?"
"The climate is really comfortable."
The voice of the Life-Eating Vine rang in Lin Yi's mind at just the right moment, a childish voice with a hint of joy in it.
Lin Yi stood up, ripped off his combat uniform which was over 80% damaged, had the leaves of the Life-Eating Vine fetch some lake water, washed off the bloodstains, and took out a dry set of sportswear from his spatial ring to change into.
He finally let out a slight sigh of relief, still shaken. "That was really dangerous!"
The golden tendrils of the Life-Eating Vine swayed gently. "That's right, Master, be careful when you leave Kirishima."
"That was a monster stronger than me, very fierce. It tore many of my vines to pieces."
Lin Yi touched the cuts on the vines around his waist, and could imagine the fierce battle the Life-Eating Vine had gone through after he lost consciousness.
"Don't worry, Little Devourer, there are great opportunities on this island. We'll definitely take down that monster when we leave."
The Life-Eating Vine remained silent.
Clearly, after this incident, it felt that its owner was somewhat unreliable.
Indeed, it's true that good people from certain families often end up in places where king-level monsters roam.
Lin Yi briefly reassured the Life-Eating Vine, then turned to look at the mist-shrouded lake behind him, having made up his mind.
"Once I've increased my strength, I'll definitely turn that King-level monster into a plated octopus!"
……
The island is shrouded in mist, with lush trees, vibrant flowers, and abundant thorns... full of life.
Lin Yi carefully made his way through the island's forests.
Having learned from his previous experience, he became even more cautious. The golden tendrils of the Life-Eating Vine were tied around his waist and extended outwards at some point, exploring the area several miles ahead and clearing away any enemies that might threaten Lin Yi's life.
"Little Eater, focus on investigating the plants."
This place, thanks to the spirits of plants and the Namo Cloud Vine, has long been transformed into a kingdom of plants, with few traces of monsters.
Lin Yi's caution was not without reason. About 3 kilometers away from him, in the flower bushes, there was an eerie blue flower, bigger than a washbasin, that looked strangely eerie.
A golden vine, as thick as a bowl, moved over like a serpent, startling it.
The next second, the blue flower, which was originally larger than a washbasin, suddenly expanded and bloomed, becoming three or four meters in diameter. This huge flower shot directly at the golden vine like lightning, like the gaping maw of a monster, trying to devour the golden vine.
"You blind, slutty flower!"
The tender flesh-eating vine muttered something, and the next second, like a golden whip, it shattered the man-eating flower of the blue rose.
Several tens of seconds later, Lin Yi arrived here, following the path cleared by the life-giving vines.
"A man-eating flower?"
I glanced at the flower fragments on the ground, then looked at the broken stem. Blood was still gushing from the broken stem, which was very strange.
"It's a pity. Carnivorous plants are rare to begin with, and blue ones are even rarer. If we could bring one back and keep it at home, Xu Xingyue and her parents would surely be happy."
Lin Yi was confident that during this trip to Wudao Island, his parents and his adopted daughter-in-law would also make rapid progress in their strength, quickly reaching the level of War God. In the villa's greenhouse, raising a man-eating flower of the initial Beast General level would be nothing special.
Thinking of Xu Xingyue's charming and happy expression when she saw the blue rose's "carnivorous flower,"
Lin Yi couldn't help but complain to the Life-Eating Vine, "What a waste!"
Devouring Vine:...
Is it wrong to protect its master and kill monsters?!
……
Half an hour later, Lin Yi's field of vision suddenly opened up.
"It wasn't easy, but we've finally arrived at our destination!"
Lin Yi looked at the willow trees in the distance and couldn't help but smile.
The golden tendrils of the phytophagous vines beside it meandered, looking eager to try their luck.
The willow trees here grow very tall and thick.
"One, two, four... nine trees in total! That's right, they are the willow trees, the spirits of plants!" Lin Yi said.
The nine willow trees in front of us are indeed very thick. The thinnest willow tree is about one meter in diameter, and the thickest willow tree has a diameter of three meters... The thousands of willow branches of the nine willow trees sway in the wind.
"Master, is this the spirit of plants you spoke of?"
The urgent voice of the Life-Eating Vine echoed in Lin Yi's heart.
Lin Yi confirmed, "Yes..."
The voice just fell,
Whoosh!
The golden tendrils of the Life-Eating Vine soared into the air, like serpents, rushing towards the willow tree.
This action was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the tranquility. Almost instantly, all the willow branches danced wildly, like threads rapidly coiling around the golden tendrils of the Life-Eating Vine!
Its speed far exceeds the speed of sound.
Even the life-devouring vine, at such close range, was unable to escape the overwhelming multitude of willow branches and was completely entangled.
Immediately afterwards, thousands of willow branches tightened, dragging it forward.
"What the hell?"
The golden tendrils of the Life-Eating Vine instantly loosened their entanglement around Lin Yi. The tendrils exerted their strength, like steel bars taking root, fiercely plunging into the ground to resist the dragging of the willow branches.
Boo-hoo!
Boo-hoo!
Boo-hoo!
A tug-of-war ensued between the planetary-level vines and the willow trees. The golden vines were stretched taut in the air, and the immense force pulling them apart caused a teeth-grinding creaking sound to emanate from within. Similarly, countless willow branches snapped one by one.
It should be noted that the thinnest of these nine willow trees is 30 to 40 meters tall, comparable to a ten-story building! As for the thickest willow tree with a diameter of three meters, it is nearly 100 meters tall... Such a terrifyingly tall willow tree has an unbelievable number of branches, each of which is over 100 meters long.
