"Ah—this little thing looks just like my Black Rose Martial Soul. It can even move."
Xiao Mingyue let out a soft cry.
She looked at the black rose vine in Gui Mei's hand, her red eyes filled with curiosity, and could not help wanting to step closer for a better look.
"Don't go over there."
Old Bulong hurriedly pulled her back.
At that moment, the tiny black rose vine seemed to sense the Soul Power aura contained within Xiao Mingyue. In an instant, it bloomed with a rose, intending to cast a curse on her.
"Hmph—how dare you keep causing trouble?"
Gui Mei snorted coldly. His vast and powerful Soul Power erupted at once, directly shattering the rose.
Having suddenly suffered the fierce impact of Gui Mei's Soul Power, the black rose vine immediately wilted.
"Old man, do you recognize this black rose vine?"
Ye Qifeng raised his eyes to Old Bulong and asked.
"Yes."
Old Bulong nodded. "Its name is the same as Xiao Mingyue's plant Martial Soul. It is called the Black Rose."
"This is also my first time seeing a real Black Rose."
"However, the villagers of Puppet Village have lived near the Forbidden Curse Forest for generations, so we do have records of some of the special creatures living within the forest."
"The village possesses a Forbidden Curse Forest Biological Catalog passed down through every generation of village chiefs. It is now in my hands. I inherited it from the previous village chief, my father."
As he spoke, Old Bulong took out a small cloth bundle from his clothes, wrapped layer upon layer in little pieces of cloth in different colors.
Old Bulong carefully opened it.
Inside was a book with a yellowed cover.
The book had been well protected, without the slightest wrinkle or crease.
