Chapter 1401: Chapter 1401

Having bid farewell to those Swamp Dwarves, Du You and the two sisters flew in that direction through the air.

"Master, do you really believe what those Swamp Dwarves said? I always feel like they might not be telling the truth." On the way, Lin Yushi voiced her uncertainty to Du You.

"Whether they told the truth or lied, all that matters is that we can pinpoint the location of the Dark Vine Demon Emperor. If we can’t find it, we’ll just have to go back and make them tell the truth," replied Du You.

Lin Yucha also nodded in agreement: "Under absolute strength, they will act in a way that is most beneficial to their situation. Besides, this location might not necessarily be fake; I think at most they simply hid some things from us."

This world is no longer the world it used to be; it is a world devoured by the Earth’s will. Relative to the natives here, it is these Professionals who are now the favorites. This doesn’t mean that the Professionals become stronger in this place, nor that the strength of others is diminished.

Instead, the people of the original world are somewhat augmented in their own world due to the boost of the world’s power.

Now the Earth’s will would not give them such an augmentation. The natives, who were already weaker than the Professionals, are now even weaker. Unfortunately, becoming a Professional isn’t such an easy task for them; this isn’t Earth, after all.

"This is the place, shall we give it a try?" From a distance, Lin Yucha pointed ahead and suggested.

"There are no Magical Beasts or animals nearby, which indicates there might be some danger here. If it’s the Dark Vine Demon Emperor, then that would explain things." Lin Yucha observed everything around her with her sharp vision.

Du You nodded: "We should back off first, then capture a few animals to experiment with."

With their strength, capturing a few animals was very easy. The captured animals were thrown from a distance. A special force protected them, ensuring that the animals wouldn’t die from the impact.

Yet, as soon as these animals and lower-tier Magical Beasts landed, they immediately began running in panic. It seemed not because of the capture by Du You and the others, but rather because there was a significant threat in this location.

Regrettably, just as they started to move, the ground changed. Vines hidden underground and in the ponds stretched out like tentacles of a monster, moving very fast without any attempt at concealment.

In an instant, all the animals and lower-tier Magical Beasts were entangled.

The dark vines demonstrated tremendous constricting power, instantly twisting the entangled creatures into weird shapes with all their bones broken. However, instead of directly absorbing them, the vines extended their roots, dragging the dead animals underground as if wanting to absorb them slowly in this manner.

This indicated that these vines were not capable of directly devouring and digesting living beings.

"That’s right, it’s exactly as the data showed, it is the Dark Vine Demon Emperor indeed."

"But something’s not right; the strength of these vines seems too weak." Lin Yushi found it strange. Speaking of data, Lin Yushi hadn’t looked at it herself—since her sister had, it didn’t matter whether she read it or not.

Lin Yucha shook her head: "This is a plant, and it’s a vine type with strong reproductive abilities. There isn’t just one vine here, but many. This seems to be the kind that’s more fragile around the edges."

"So how can we find the sixth-tier Dark Vine Demon Emperor?"

Looking at the ground covered in strange tendrils, even Lin Yushi felt goosebumps rising.

Du You pointed downward and said, "Just kill. I don’t believe that after so many dark vines die, those powerful beings won’t come out. The Dark Vine Demon Emperor might be a plant, but it’s got some intelligence."

Du You had already familiarized himself with this information. If it were purely a plant type, Du You wouldn’t even want it. That kind of plant wouldn’t fight without his control even if it was turned into his Summoned Beast.

On the contrary, plants with some intelligence and combat instinct were what Du You valued. Even without his assistance, the Dark Vine Demon Emperor evolved into a Summoned Beast would still be able to exercise formidable combat power. Just like Du You’s current Summoned Beasts, he hardly controlled them himself, letting them fight on their own.

However, this form of combat really doesn’t align with the battling style of a Summoning Class Professional.

Because the area was too extensive, Du You and the two sisters didn’t directly start killing their way through. They first moved away from the place and found a large group of low-tier Magical Beasts, then slaughtered their way through.

Then, a sea of gold and black was created. Scores of Demon Extermination Spirits and Demonic Flame Skeletons formed teams and headed over there. Demon Extermination Spirits had a certain restraining effect on the Dark Attribute Dark Vine Demon Emperor. Besides, since they had no bones or organs, even if they got entangled, there was no worry about dying; they could keep struggling.

As for Demonic Flame Skeletons, the flames on their bodies naturally possessed tremendous lethal power. Dark vines of not-so-high tiers would gradually wither into ashes if burned for an extended time.

The trouble was that once they fell into a pool of water, it took a while for the Demonic Flame Skeletons to struggle out.

The potency of the Soul Devouring Demon Flame would be reduced to the extreme in water, making it vulnerable to being strangled by underwater vines.

Even so, along the way, skeletons and Demon Extermination Spirits continuously cut through vines, then pulled these things out following the vines. At the center of every vine core was a giant spherical nucleus, wrapped in numerous roots.

This sphere was also the toughest part, and once it was shattered, a large swath of dark vines would gradually lose vitality. Otherwise, the severed vines would heal in a very short time and continue to grow.

"Hardness is good, with strong vitality, indeed as described in the information, very suitable for me."

As Du You went deeper, he saw first-tier vines, second-tier vines, and now he spotted fourth-tier ones. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽

Du You watched and understood the direction of evolution and changes of these vines, and he grew more and more familiar with them. Du You was confident that what he was looking for would not disappoint him; it was a good type of Summoned Beast.

The three continued to advance deeper. As they went further in, the Demon Extermination Spirits and Demonic Flame Skeletons could no longer be replenished. Not knowing if the army they had prepared would be sufficient under these battle conditions, they would have to retreat and find ways to bolster their forces if it wasn’t enough. Just as Du You was thinking this, their mass slaughter finally drew the attention of high-tier dark vines.
