The turn of events in this battle left everyone present dumbfounded. No one had expected the crazed Sky-Piercing Vine to turn around and attack its own side!
This showed that in an important battle, one really should not casually use overly unstable weapons.
The Dragon-Scale Wood had not guarded against this either and instinctively struck back. Unless spirit woods had a deep friendship, they would generally retaliate on instinct when attacked. It truly had no friendship with the Sky-Piercing Vine—it had just been planning to make it take on the Jade Spore Skyworm head-on.
Iron Bone Elder cursed furiously, "You idiot, don't you know to get out of the way? Yi Jue is behind you!"
That shout did it. Countless vines from the Sky-Piercing Vine lashed toward him as well, forcing him to dodge in haste, but the vine pursued him relentlessly.
No matter what kind of creature it was, once it fell into a berserk state, a sharp increase in combat strength was perfectly normal.
Seeing the three of them fighting, Yi Jue decisively withdrew her defenses and rushed forward to attack Iron Bone.
She could not possibly flee now. This was a life-and-death battle, and she was deeply worried that without her pressure, the Sky-Piercing Vine might gradually regain its senses, while Iron Bone might even be able to briefly treat its injuries.
The Jade Spore Skyworm's spores were incurable for spirit woods, but Human Race spirit plant masters could help contain the injuries and stop them from spreading further. Quite a few had even developed methods of treatment, though treatment had to be administered quickly. If too much time passed, there would still be no saving it.
If one wanted to save it after delaying too long, the only option was to go to the Spirit Plant
