Take Its Life

But just as the arrowhead was about to touch the bottle—

Those emerald vines shot up as if they had anticipated it all along. Their dense leaves curled and folded over one another, enclosing the bundle of potions in the blink of an eye.

The Storm Arrow struck the leaves and failed once more.

Ling Chu drew a frustrated breath. Those vines had already swallowed two bundles of her Corrosive Potions!

But her anger surged for only a moment before Ling Chu calmed down and rapidly considered a new strategy.

After enduring so many hardships and drilling through a bone barrier several meters thick, they had finally reached the giant's heart. They could not get stuck at the final step and let these vines ruin everything.

Beside her, You Jiali pondered briefly before speaking. "We need to make these vines disappear temporarily and expose the Corrosive Potions wrapped inside. Only then will you have a chance to shatter the bottles with your arrows. Maybe... Blood Burst could work?"

"Blood Burst?" Ling Chu blinked, doubt in her eyes. "These vines don't have blood. How would you use the Blood Burst skill?"

Hearing that, You Jiali took out one of his own rations from his backpack.

He clenched the blood vial. "If it has no blood, then we'll make some ourselves."

He looked up at Ling Chu and asked, "Want to try?"

Ling Chu's eyes lit up, and she nodded.

"Okay!"

It might actually work!

You Jiali raised his hand and threw the blood vial, its trajectory aimed directly above the cluster of vines wrapped around the Corrosive Potions.

Sure enough, sensing the disturbance overhead, the vines immediately split off most of their tendrils and leaves, tightly wrapping the incoming blood vial and locking it inside.

Now!

You Jiali snapped his fingers.
