Chapter 51 Tentacles +1
"You seem... quite smug?"
During the search for the soul beast, Xiao Yan clearly noticed that the rabbit leading the way was in a much better mood.
That's because she wears her heart on her sleeve.
He had seemed melancholy when he heard about the father and son, but now his eyes kept glancing into the depths of the woods, and he could barely suppress the smile on his face.
"Of course not!"
Xiao Wu immediately tensed her face and tried hard to pull her lips down, but when she met Xiao Yan's suspicious gaze...
A wave of unease washed over her. "Let's not talk about this anymore! We're here. Look, there it is, the Burning Heart Vine!"
She quickly pointed forward and stopped walking.
Xiao Yan looked in the direction she pointed.
Parting the thicket, a secluded mountain cave appears.
A faint smell of burning saltpeter wafted through the air, and large swathes of unknown dark purple vines hung at the cave entrance, while the cave walls glowed with a scorching dark red.
Xiao Yan stopped in his tracks.
Clearly, there are more than just the Burning Heart Vine here.
Before he could ask, Xiao Wu explained:
"Burning Heart Vine usually grows around volcanoes, but that's too far from here and there are many dangers along the way, so we came here first."
She paused, observing Xiao Yan's reaction, and continued:
"I remember that a group of fire lizards that had been driven from their original species lived in this area, and they had a symbiotic relationship with the Heartburn Vine."
"The Burning Heart Vine absorbs the fire-attribute energy emitted by the Fire Lizard to grow, and in turn, the Fire Lizard relies on the Burning Heart Vine to reproduce, using the heat it emits to incubate its offspring."
"So we will also actively protect the vines. I remember it's not long ago, and the ones are definitely under 10,000 years old, which meets your needs."
At this point, Xiao Wu saw that Xiao Yan's attention had been completely drawn to her, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips.
How could a human child, born evil, possibly stand against a soul beast with ten thousand years of wisdom!
Another thing she didn't mention is that Erming loves to eat Burning Heart Vine as a snack. In other words, this area is basically one of the "snack zones" of the King of the Forest.
hum!
Just as Xiao Wu was secretly pleased with her cleverness, her body involuntarily took a step forward and walked straight toward the cave entrance that was faintly emitting heat.
"Huh?"
A big question mark immediately appeared on Xiao Wu's face.
At the same time, Xiao Yan's calm voice rang in my ears:
"Now that it's confirmed, what are you waiting for?"
"Go up there and get it!"
"Wait, no! That's not right!" Xiao Wu cried out urgently, struggling to break free. "It shouldn't be you..."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Xiao Yan frowned, his tone somewhat matter-of-fact. "How could I, a support-type Soul Master, possibly do something as dangerous as charging into battle?"
"?!"
Xiao Wu was stunned.
A support-type Soul Master?!
She had personally experienced countless times his Blue Silver Grass vines, which were even more vicious than whips! Was he a support type?
Don't you know that?
"And if we don't send out offensive types, are we supposed to send out support types first? Are we really that stupid?"
Seeing that the rabbit was in a daze, Xiao Yan added another sentence.
These days he has been cramming on the Soul Master system of Douluo Continent, which defines the roles and responsibilities of various Soul Masters, and naturally he has also scientifically categorized himself and this rabbit.
Therefore, his current actions are entirely in line with "tactical logic".
Secondly, Xiao Wu's current body is essentially an "energy entity" maintained by his battle qi, so she will not be truly injured; at most, it will only exacerbate the consumption of battle qi.
Moreover, as long as the fighting spirit is sufficient, the rabbit can exert its strength more effectively, and what it has in abundance is plenty of food to satisfy its hunger!
So if she doesn't step up, who will?
"Wait! Wait! I have something else to say!"
Xiao Wu hurriedly said, still wanting to struggle, facing a whole group of fire lizards and those troublesome burning heart vines all by herself.
The outcome will definitely not be pleasant! It will also hurt a lot!
However, her protests were, as always, choked by an invisible censorship, and her body moved uncontrollably toward the dark cave entrance.
She could only watch helplessly as her right leg channeled soul power and kicked forward with all her might!
"Bang!"
A dull thud echoed at the cave entrance.
Suddenly, a dense hissing sound came from the depths of the cave! Then, one after another, fire lizards covered in dark red scales poured out of the cave!
Xiao Wu's face was deathly pale, and her lips were slightly parted.
Just then, a drop of "Dew of Life" landed precisely in her slightly parted lips, and at the same time, Xiao Yan's encouraging voice came from behind her.
"You've been enhanced."
"Go quickly, Pikachu!"
Before Xiao Wu could even move, the swarm of fire lizards surged towards her like a dark red tide!
There is no way to avoid it.
She gritted her teeth, channeled her fighting spirit, and her long legs suddenly glowed with a pink aura as she arched her back!
Its figure transformed into a swift pink light in front of the narrow cave entrance, narrowly avoiding the first wave of attacks, and then used its toes to touch the top of a lizard's head to propel itself over.
"hiss--!"
Enraged, the lizards unleashed a torrent of fiery rays from their mouths, which crisscrossed into a web.
The Burning Heart Vine hanging from the cave wall seemed to be startled as well. Several thick, dark purple vines suddenly shot out like venomous snakes, lashing at Xiao Wu, who had nowhere to get a foothold in the air!
"Oh!" Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow from a distance.
This is much better than dancing...
In the midst of the battle, Xiao Wu reacted instinctively and teleported!
With a flash of pink light, she moved several feet to the side, the fire net and vine whips grazing past her. The moment she landed, she pushed off the ground with all her might, and her whole body crashed into the swarm of lizards like a cannonball!
"Eight-Stage Throw!"
With a delicate shout, she moved like a butterfly flitting among the enormous fire lizards.
With each approach to a head, the waist twists at an incredible angle to generate power, and the supple arms or legs strike the lizard's joints, neck, and other vulnerable areas with precision.
boom! boom! boom!
Muffled thuds continued as fire lizards were flipped over by seemingly delicate force, swung up, and slammed hard against the cave walls or their companions, their hisses and the sound of bones cracking mingling together.
The lashes of the Burning Heart Vine came from time to time.
But she always managed to dodge them by the slightest mistake, or simply used a dizzy lizard as a human shield.
The battle was aesthetically pleasing, Xiao Yan nodded with a glint in his eyes.
"Let's continue next time."
After a while.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a bunch of unconscious fire lizards lay scattered haphazardly at the cave entrance, their scales glowing much dimmer.
Xiao Wu, panting heavily with sweat dampening her temples, stood amidst a group of sprawling fire lizards, secretly glaring at Xiao Yan, who was leisurely emerging from a cave not far away.
They were angry, but dared not speak out!
but……
She looked around and was somewhat surprised. The vast majority of them were soul beasts that were over a thousand years old, and there was even a lizard king whose aura was close to ten thousand years old!
Logically speaking, she shouldn't be so relaxed right now. Could it be because that energy called battle qi is really as humans say?
Its destructive power is greater than that of soul power.
I thought it was going to be a tough battle, but it turned out to be just like this.
"That shouldn't be the case..."
"Don't just stand there, come and protect us!"
