Chapter 334 Old Skill
Chapter 334 Old Skill
Krune pondered a bit and said.
"It depends on how the Vines feel our presence. Could it be Divine Sense?"
Feifei understood what Krune wanted.
"The Tribulation Lightning Layer can indeed hide you from Divine Sense, but I think it is too risky. As far as I can see, those vines would probably be a problem even for Void Breaking Realm cultivators and demon beasts."
Suddenly, Krune and the others saw one of the cultivators trying to move close. Surprisingly, they could barely feel his presence. If not because he was right in front of them, they might have missed him unless he got closer.
"He's using a technique to merge with the environment."
At first, it seemed to be working. He got into the range of the vines, but they didn't seem to react. Unfortunately, just when he stepped on the soil between the vines, the situation changed, and the vines all shot at him. That guy noticed that things had gone south and burst out of the Vines Range. Fortunately, he was prepared for it, so he was fast enough to leave their attack range.
Krune looked a the full event and then had an idea.
"Maybe, it is the vibrations."
Everyone looked at him, puzzled.
"Any movements that you make will cause a reaction. Once you step forward, the ground trembles a bit, if you decide to float, the air around you will move. All of that causes vibration, which I believe the vines are using to feel our presence."
Krune then trowed a Wind Blade above the Vines, and sure enough, the vines immediately attacked it.
Finally, everyone understood what Krune meant with that.
Dilo then thought about one thing.
"Look at the other side of the vines. It seems like they are only stopping us from passing through. They are not beside those cave rooms. I'm not sure, but there is a chance that once we pass through the vines, we will be able to enter the cave rooms and take what is inside."
Krune and the others nodded. They, too, noticed this much.
One of the outsiders also noticed when Krune threw that wind blade and tried to fly above the vines' range. Unfortunately, that idea failed miserably. That's because when he approached the top of that space, more vines came out of it and attacked him. Different from the last guy, this one didn't react fast enough and was soon sucked dry by the vines in the ceiling.
"Seems like that flying past them is also of the question. The vines above are covering any possible gaps now."
It was then that Ruik had an idea and sent Krune and his group a Divine Sense Message.
"Hey, what about Ao's skill? Wouldn't it be perfect?"
Krune was the only one who understood what Ruik was talking about.
"Yes! Ao's Vacuum Blade!"
Ruik and Krune noticed Feifei, Tiane, Dilo, and Xankruan's puzzled faces and then explained.
"Vacuum Blade was a skill that Ao learned while he was still in the Foundation Establishment Realm. It would eliminate the air around him to a certain distance. That was a skill especially used to increase the speed."
Krune then pondered a bit and said.
"Still, at my level at the moment, I think I can use it to make a tunnel void of any air."
Krune then accessed his memory and soon found the skill. Back then, Krune could already use it to a certain degree, so now it would be a lot easier. That skill was, after all, made for low-level cultivators and demon beasts to use.
Krune didn't have a sword to use like Ao. However, he could still create something similar with his Spiritual Energy Manipulation. It wouldn't compare with the real thing, but it was more than enough for what he wanted to do.
Krune then made a small modification so that instead of clearing the air around him, it would create a long void tunnel. The vines soon noticed the difference in the air around them and started to attack in all directions. Still, there was nothing for them there.
When the airflow returned to normal, the vines calmed down again. Still, Krune's void tunnel was there, without any air inside. It's just that it couldn't be seen since there was nothing inside. Ruik then put a little of spiritual energy inside a pebble he found on the ground and threw it through the tunnel.
Sure enough, the pebble passed by the tunnel in a flash, but since there was no air, no vibrations were created. The pebble landed on the wall on the other side, and nothing happened to it. Just to make sure, Ruik also threw another pebble. This time, he didn't use the Void Tunnel, though. As expected, the vines immediately attacked and destroyed that pebble.
That was the proof that they needed, the vines really are reacting to the ground and air's vibrations. The other cultivators and demon beasts also saw that, and their eyes lit up. But there was one problem, what if someone tries to alert the vines while someone is passing through?
Feifei then sent a Divine Sense message to Krune.
Krune understood what she wanted and then released his Burnnihilation Domain! Krune looked at the cultivators and demon beasts outside his group and said.
"I don't mind if you use your own methods to reach the other side and take whatever is there. First come, first served. I totally agreed with this sentence. But if any of you tries to purposely alert the vines while my friends are passing through, know that there will be no tomorrow for you."
What Feifei told Krune was that she was going there to check. She will be using her Destiny Divine Soul to the best of her abilities to try to predict any movements in the vines. Although Krune wasn't sure about it, he had to trust her. Krune could also have been the one passing through. But because he is one of the strongest in their group, it was better to stay behind to serve as a warning for the others.
"In exchange, I promise that my group will not touch anyone who tries their own methods to reach the other side. Whatever you do, it's up to you."
Feifei then concentrated in her Destiny Divine Soul. Although the level of this realm is high, she could at least see a few seconds in the future. That was enough for her to pass through the sea of vines.
As soon as she saw one opportunity, she rushed at top speed to the other side. She wasn't the only one, though. Ruik followed right behind as well to help her check the cave rooms. Soon, they landed on the other side. Fortunately, the vines really didn't attack there.
As for Joiu and his group, they decided to pay attention to the other side of the room instead.
"Since Fina and Kiur can land on that side without problem, it means that the opposite side is the same."
Joiu then took a Runestone Formation out of his Spatial Ring and charged it with Spiritual and Elemental Source Energy. This one is a Golden Stars Teleport Runestone. Different from the ones Krune used in the past, this one could be charged in just a few seconds.
Joiu wasn't the only one to think about it. Still, because no one was sure if the other side of the vines was safe or not, no one wanted to teleport there. Soon, Joiu and a few members of his group disappeared with a flash of silver light. Right after, the same group already appeared on the other side of the vines' range.
Seeing that, the other cultivators and demon beasts did similar things and started to pass through the vines without alerting them. They were especially relieved when they saw that Krune kept his promise and didn't do anything to stop them.
Since Feifei and Ruik were the first ones to arrive, they were also the first to enter a Cave Room. After making sure that there was nothing to stop them, they immediately put everything inside their Spatial Rings and rushed to the next.
One by one, Feifei, Ruik, and the other cultivators and demon beasts kept their making harvest. There had been even a few fights in the rooms, but no one tried to attack Ruik or Feifei. When the rooms were finally emptied, those who survived immediately used their own methods to return to the center of the room. Feifei and Ruik also did the same and passed by Krune's Void Tunnel.
Tiane and the others received them with a smiled and asked.
"So, what did we get there?"
Feifei and Ruik used spare Spatial Rings to collect the rewards, so they made it possible for the others in their group to check inside with their Divine Senses.
It turns out that there wasn't any treasure per se, it was all cultivation resources. Spirit Stones of Rank 8 or higher, Different Pills, Herbs, and a few others.
There was quite a good amount, which at least made up for the risk of going to the other side.
Feifei then took two Jade Slips out of her Spatial Ring and passed them to Heavin.
"I found these two Soul Related Techniques. I don't know how good they are, but I know that they are different from the ones Krune gave you."
Heavin immediately used his Divine Sense to read the information inside. After he finished, he got excited.
"Good! No wonder this Mohie Clan is considered a Soul Eespecialized one. These two Soul Techniques aren't anything impressive, but it is evident that they have been refined several times. It seems like we are going to find quite a few of them in this Dimensional Realm."
Sometime later, Joiu reappeared beside Krune and the others. It was visible that he used another Teleport Runestone Formation again to bring everyone back.
Krune looked at him and saw that he looked in a good mood.
"It seems like your group also had a good harvest."
Joiu laughed and then nodded.
"Indeed. Although it is all cultivation resources, there was quite a bit of it."
Krune nodded and then said.
"Well, it seems like the rooms have all been emptied. In that case, let's keep moving forward."
