Hunting the Undying Green Vine, the Mysterious Girl in Black Veil

"This Undying Green Vine is undoubtedly the best choice for my second Spirit Ring. Its undying vitality is exactly what I need right now."

Chu Chen set his sights on the Undying Green Vine. With over four thousand years of cultivation, its vine-like tentacles could cover an area spanning a hundred meters.

They could sense and exchange information with one another, transmitting everything nearby to the Undying Green Vine's main body at any time. To kill such a special Spirit Beast, one could only attack its main body.

"This place is thick with vegetation, and the Undying Green Vine has hidden itself so well. Anyone who wanders in by mistake is bound to suffer badly."

Only thanks to his ability to fly had Chu Chen been able to spot the Undying Green Vine's nearly flawless camouflage.

This special plant-type Spirit Beast could even bury its tentacles deep underground, using a single thin tendril to cover the entire area above and below the ground. It could launch a fatal attack at any time, from anywhere.

Moreover, wherever the Undying Green Vine grew, there was bound to be an extremely dense Life Aura. It could even devour the power of other plant-type Spirit Beasts nearby to continuously strengthen itself!

"Although the Undying Green Vine is famed for its vitality, those tentacles hidden everywhere can deliver a fatal blow at any moment."

The Blue Silver Emperor gathered in Chu Chen's hand as he prepared to unleash his Strongest Strike directly at the Undying Green Vine's main body.

However, at that moment, a fox-shaped Spirit Beast fleeing in panic stumbled into the area. Not far behind it, a young girl was rapidly approaching. A black veil covered her face completely.

Chu Chen recognized the fox-shaped Spirit Beast. It was a Mystic Fox with extremely powerful healing abilities.

Clearly, the veiled girl was hunting the Mystic Fox.

The girl held a dagger, Soul Power gathering beneath her feet as she continuously closed in on the Mystic Fox. Its leg was injured, and it clearly could not keep running.

"Got you..."

The girl panted as she spoke. Holding her dagger, she swiftly approached and decisively killed the Mystic Fox with a single slash. This mere hundred-year Mystic Fox had no ability to resist at all.

As a Spirit Beast possessing only healing abilities, it had always occupied an extremely weak position among Spirit Beasts!

"Why is she absorbing the Mystic Fox's Spirit Ring? Could her martial soul be a healing-type martial soul? Then someone should be accompanying her. How could a healing Spirit Master kill a Spirit Beast alone?"

Chu Chen kept a close eye on the Undying Green Vine.

Although the appearance of the girl and the Mystic Fox had disrupted Chu Chen's plan, the Undying Green Vine seemed not to have reacted at all.

After the Mystic Fox was killed, its energy condensed into a hundred-year Spirit Ring that emerged. After ensuring the surroundings were safe, the girl began absorbing the Mystic Fox's Spirit Ring.

An exquisite begonia flower bloomed in the girl's hand amid a glow like glazed crystal!

"This is... the Nine Heart Begonia? She's Ye Lingling?"

How could Chu Chen fail to recognize the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul? If so, it was only natural that Ye Lingling had chosen to absorb the Mystic Fox's Spirit Ring.

"Rustle..."

Suddenly, a faint disturbance arose. With his sharp perception of the surroundings, Chu Chen sensed that the Undying Green Vine had made its move. A green vine emerged not far from Ye Lingling.

Whoosh!

The tip of the green vine was incomparably sharp, slicing through the air with piercing whistles.

Ye Lingling opened her eyes, and her face instantly turned pale at the sight. She had reached a critical point in absorbing the Spirit Ring and could not be interrupted at all!

As the green vine shot toward her, despair welled up within Ye Lingling. But then a Blue Silver Emperor burst from the earth, swiftly forming into a wall that blocked the attack for her.

Under Ye Lingling's astonished gaze, Chu Chen swiftly appeared. The Blue Silver Emperor coiled around his hand condensed under the extreme compression of Soul Power, transforming into a long spear.

The spear flew forth, locking onto the Undying Green Vine's main body.

The Undying Green Vine clearly possessed some basic intelligence. Like Chu Chen, it condensed its vines into a wall, but it had underestimated the piercing power of Chu Chen's Blue Silver Emperor, which had gathered both Soul Power and vitality.

Boom!

The spear plunged directly into the Undying Green Vine's main body. In an instant, the ground within a hundred-meter radius seemed to tremble.

Looking closely, it turned out that countless tentacles were shaking violently. Even Chu Chen felt a touch of physical discomfort at the sight as he descended from the air to Ye Lingling's side.

Through the black veil over Ye Lingling's face, Chu Chen seemed able to see the shock in her eyes.

"You are..."

Ye Lingling spoke with a trace of probing in her voice, but her cool personality prevented her from saying anything further. At that moment, she had entered the most crucial stage of absorbing the Spirit Ring.

"Focus on absorbing the Spirit Ring."

Chu Chen's voice reached her. For some reason, Ye Lingling felt a little safer. Though she did not know who the boy before her was, his martial soul was clearly only Blue Silver Grass. How could he contend with the Undying Green Vine?

Chu Chen's previous attack had truly enraged the Undying Green Vine. Its tentacles danced through the air before crashing down heavily, each strike carrying tremendous force.

Boom!

Chu Chen swiftly dodged aside and released the Blue Silver Emperor. No matter how strong the Undying Green Vine was, it was ultimately a plant-type Spirit Beast.

As long as it was a plant, it would inevitably be suppressed by the Blue Silver Emperor!

Even its aura alone was enough to make the Undying Green Vine wary. Much less now, when Chu Chen chose to fully release the Blue Silver Emperor. Clusters of Blue Silver Emperor tore through the ground and struck down the vines in the air with the same piercing force.

Then Chu Chen controlled the Blue Silver Grass to wrap Ye Lingling layer upon layer, like a cocoon waiting to hatch.

"With the Blue Silver Emperor's aura suppressing it, the Undying Green Vine won't be able to hurt Ye Lingling. Now I can deal with you without worry."

With every step Chu Chen took, Blue Silver Emperors bloomed around him. In contrast, the Undying Green Vine's tentacles retreated again and again. This was the Blue Silver Emperor's absolute suppression over all plant-type Spirit Beasts.

First Spirit Ability, Life Streamer!

The Blue Silver Emperor erupted with surging Blue-Gold Light. Vitality rapidly condensed into the Light of Life, bathing Chu Chen's entire body within it, and his strength was fully enhanced.

He chose to fight the Undying Green Vine head-on. With the Light of Life formed by his First Spirit Ability protecting him, Chu Chen had no fear of the Undying Green Vine's attacks.

Boom! A green vine thrust toward him. Chu Chen answered with a punch, sending the entire vine flying. It fell to the ground and convulsed violently. Then Chu Chen condensed his Soul Power, and the green vine visibly withered before his eyes!
