Another direction.
Yao Zhixue walked leisurely through the howling snowstorm, and the Charming Beasts that appeared around her were turned into ice sculptures.
Some Charming Beasts were lucky enough to break through the outer snow blockade and rush into the heart of the blizzard, but their speed and sizes gradually slowed down.
With their vision obstructed, they couldn’t move forward and eventually turned into ice sculptures, falling onto the ground.
“Yao Zhixue!”
A voice rang out; Zhou Xinyu’s figure emerged in the distance, flanked by a large rooster flapping its wings.
“I saw a gathering signal over there; it should be people from our school!”
Yao Zhixue glanced in that direction and asked, “Have you found Zheng Cheng?”
“We haven’t found Brother Cheng yet!”
Cai Ji shouted, “But I believe Brother Cheng must be ahead… as long as we catch up, we will definitely find him.”
“Alright, let’s go!”
Yao Zhixue tapped the ground, and an abundance of ice quickly formed, tracing a snowy and icy path on the ground that spread rapidly towards the distance.
She was wearing a pair of skates, gliding over the ice at an incredibly fast speed propelled by the blizzard, even faster than Cai Ji flying midair.
Zhou Xinyu was shocked: “Whoa! Can the icy path be used this way?”
Cai Ji was also surprised: “This mountain has a no-fly restriction; you can’t fly using normal methods, his technique is really clever.”
“Hurry, hurry!”
The two hastened their pace, following closely behind Yao Zhixue.
Cai Ji had it easy since it could fly.
But Zhou Xinyu had a hard time, having to sprint with all his might just to keep up without falling behind.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a violent tremor came from the ground ahead, and numerous pitch-black vines burst forth from the earth, striking toward them like giant pythons!
Not far in another direction, a mass of writhing vines was also attacking another group of people.
“It’s the Cave Beastmen!”
“Who sent that gathering signal?”
“Over there… it’s teachers from our school!”
The three of them looked over to see three school teachers desperately dodging the black vines while being hounded by several Jackal Werewolves.
Their goal was clear; they wanted to cross the vine-infested area to reach the mountain’s summit.
Unfortunately, the entire waist of the mountain was covered in these black vines!
“Boom!”
At that moment, the ground beneath the three also burst open, and a dozen black vines struck toward them.
Yao Zhixue waved her hand, and a flurry of ice and snow swept forward, forming a barrier in front of the three.
With a ‘boom’, the wind and snow directly dispersed the dozen vines, but the remaining force continued unabated, crashing towards the three.
“Hide behind me!”
Zhou Xinyu roared, stepping forward as his figure suddenly grew, transforming into a mini-giant about five meters tall.
He was bare-chested, with a rotund figure, bronze skin, and intricate, bizarre patterns tattooed all over himself.
Facing the attack of a dozen vines, Zhou Xinyu pressed his hands together and muttered under his breath, “Zha!”
Suddenly, a golden giant Buddha phantom appeared behind him, with hands as if holding up the sky.
“Boom!”
In the midst of the loud explosion, all dozen of the vines smashed onto the giant Buddha phantom. The Buddha cracked, but the vines recoiled and gradually withered.
“Students over there!”
A teacher shouted from afar, “Hold off these vines so that the teachers can reach the mountain top to complete the mission.”
“What?!”
Cai Ji immediately yelled, “Why should we block these Charming Beasts while you as teachers…”
Before he could finish, Zhou Xinyu pulled him aside, smiling, “Please, go ahead, teacher~”
“Hehehe…”
The teacher chuckled and looked at Cai Ji, “Young man, you’re still too naive. We want you to stay here for your own protection!”
“It’s already so dangerous here; who knows what powerful Charming Beasts there might be at the summit?”
“Staying here is for the sake of your safety!”
In the midst of this outcry, several figures drew near.
Zhou Xinyu also strode forward, roaring again, this time with a hint of Sanskrit power in his voice, attracting the vines that were originally attacking the three teachers.
“Please go ahead, teachers, we will definitely hold back these Charming Beasts,” he said.
“You are… Zhou Xinyu, right!” one of the teachers shouted, “Well done. Once this mission is over, we will definitely give you an excellent evaluation.”
“Let’s go!”
The three teachers exclaimed and quickly broke free from the surrounding vines, rushing towards the mountain top.
One of them asked, “Old Wang! That’s a direct descendant of the Zhou Family, are you really going to leave them here?”
The bearded teacher named Wang gritted his teeth, “I’ve been stuck at LV69 for many years now, and I suspect you’re in a similar situation.”
“This is a Blessed Land that has been sealed for ten thousand years; there must be powerful treasures or props inside, maybe even what I need to complete my Realm Breaking Task.”
“As long as I can get what is needed to complete the Realm Breaking Task and become a quasi-Epic Level strongman, who would dare to trouble us?”
“There might be even stronger treasures… By then, not to mention a direct descendant of the Zhou Family, even the real Zhou Family itself, I won’t fear!”
The other two were clearly convinced by Teacher Wang’s words and picked up their pace.
However, just at that moment, the ground suddenly split open again, and more vines burst forth.
Many of the vines bore strange blooms resembling large human faces.
The flowers were vibrant and striving to open, while their pistils hissed silently like little snakes.
Waves of bizarre psychic fluctuations and a chalky substance spread out, immediately enveloping the three teachers.
“No good! Psychic attack!”
“Quick, get away… uh!”
“Ah!”
The three teachers suddenly screamed in agony, turning on each other, but were quickly swallowed up by the vines on the ground.
Watching from a distance as the three were devoured by countless vines, Zhou Xinyu’s gaze was as undisturbed as an ancient well.
“There are indeed traps. These strange Charming Beast vines are not easy to deal with… We must find their weakness!”
Cai Ji at his side said, “Did you know there were traps there beforehand?”
“I am not a god, how could I possibly know,” Zhou Xinyu retorted, a large Demon Suppression Pestle appearing in his hands, smashing numerous vines into retreat.
“But use your head and you can figure it out, these weird vine Charming Beasts must be spread all over this mountainside; they can’t just be a few.”
“Then those teachers…”
“It’s a gamble!”
“Boom!”
Zhou Xinyu kept moving forward as dense vines transformed into large pythons that entwined around him.
Yao Zhixue also reached out and grabbed, amid the blizzard, an ice giant descended from the sky, stepping directly onto the cluster of vines, freezing a large number of Charming Beast Vines.
“Humans!”
Suddenly, not far away, a Lizard-man shouted, “How about we join forces?”
“Kill this Charming Beast and we’ll head to the mountain peak together!”
“Hmm?”
Zhou Xinyu’s smile was peculiar, but he cheerfully responded, “Sure, no problem!”
…
“Boom!”
As Zheng Cheng stepped into the center range of the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines, a violent and dull explosion echoed up ahead.
In the dense center of the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines, a large number of bizarre flowers suddenly appeared.
They clung to the body of the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines like barnacles, all over the place.
The strangest thing was that these flowers actually had the appearance of human faces.
They wore expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, but mostly struggling and numbness!
In the center of the strange flowers, there also grew a clump of black pistils.
Upon closer inspection, those were not pistils.
But rather a bunch of coiled black and colorful pythons!
These peculiar flowers gathered together, forming an even larger human face flower that looked terrifyingly ferocious.
Those black and colorful pythons opened their mouths wide, took a sudden inhale.
The nearby Spirit Charm Fire, like rivers converging, got absorbed by these black pythons.
And the energy fluctuations on this curious flower were getting stronger and stronger!
The Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique suddenly flashed, scanning the attributes of this group of odd flowers.
[Name: Spirit Charm Human Face Flower]
[Level: LV80]
[Physique: ???]
[Power: ???]
[Agility: ???]
[Spirit: ???]
[Skills: ?????]
[Description: Charm Clan member, transformed into a ghostly state that acts solely on instinct after the fall of the Spirit Charm Emperor. Forms a symbiotic relationship with the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vine; no intelligence, no consciousness, no spirituality.]
“Another Epic Level creature! And it has a symbiotic relationship with the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vine?”
“With this kind of relationship… No wonder it occupies such a vast area.”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes lit up as he involuntarily exclaimed.
“Sss!”
An eerie sound suddenly came from the Spirit Charm Human Face Flower.
Around its pistils, it began to spew out a large amount of black fog.
As this fog spread.
More Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines burrowed out of the ground.
Transforming into giant pythons that rushed towards Zheng Cheng!
“How many Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines are there living here!”
He cursed under his breath, his figure swiftly moved to appear behind the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines that were gradually being set alight.
The dense mass of snake vines charged over, and the burning Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines blocked them, furiously igniting.
To Zheng Cheng’s sides, within a radius of several miles, almost all was occupied by the figure of Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines, almost covering half the mountain, blocking the way to the Spirit Charm Palace!
“Sss sss sss!!!”
Weird shrieking noises came from the Spirit Charm Human Face Flower.
The dense mass of snake-shaped pistils started to shake violently.
More and more Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines surged out from them, attacking Zheng Cheng.
At the same time, part of them split off, heading towards another corner!
“Boom!”
A huge ochre toad-like skeleton suddenly fell from the sky, smashing hard on the ground, turning a large cluster of Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines into mush.
“Huh? There are actually others who are faster than us?”
The surprised voice of Cai Ji came followed immediately by a change of tone, “This aura… an Epic creature!”
“Wait! It has the energy fluctuation of an Epic creature but lacks the corresponding Domain presence…”
“An Epic puppet!” Gui Xiao added, “It has the body and energy, if we can refine it…”
“The path here is all blocked by this plant, kill it first!”
The three concurred, immediately springing into action.
A large amount of black Poison Mist suddenly surged from the Evil Ghost, corroding the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines approaching the fog at a visibly rapid rate.
“Skeleton! That flower is the true body of these monsters, kill it!”
“Got it!”
Bone Spines swiftly grew from the giant skeleton’s body, coated with toxins, it charged at the Spirit Charm Human Face Flower.
The surrounding Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines were immediately corroded by the spreading poison fog from its body.
“Hahaha, die!”
The skeleton roared angrily, and when it was about ten yards away from the Spirit Charm Human Face Flower, he threw a fierce punch at it.
“Boom!”
With a single punch, a violent air cannon surged out, destroying all the obstructing Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vines and smashing hard on the Spirit Charm Human Face Flower.
“Sss…!”
More than a dozen snake-shaped pistils were instantly destroyed, while the remaining ones immediately started to hiss.
Huabo suddenly looked up towards another path, “There are others over there…”
Gui Xiao turned and said, “Friends over there! We are all of the Human Race, how about we join forces?”
