Chapter 259 - The World Has Gone Mad
The severed vines snapped back quickly, while Jiang Hao took the lead in a headlong rush.
In the mere blink of an eye, Jiang Hao had surged forward fifty meters!
Just then, dozens of wooden vines lashed out like agile whips, striking viciously at Jiang Hao!
Wielding the Mountain Splitting Saber in his hand, Jiang Hao swung it with the skill of a Beat Dog Stick practitioner.
With the potent synergy of the third-grade Beat-Dog-Stick Arts and his Great Strength Divine Sense, he was momentarily unbeatable!
He slashed through countless vines, thick as arms, sending a spray of mysterious green liquid in all directions.
Jiang Hao channeled his inner Qi, his speed skyrocketing once more, and in a flash, he was another hundred meters away.
The pursuing vines had ceased their chase.
Then, a jarring roar echoed from behind him.
Jiang Hao felt it and, with a shiver of fear, halted his steps, turning to look back.
There, Xiao Soong had closely followed in his wake, while the vines had once again entwined themselves around the trees.
?Peace had returned to the area, as if the tumultuous events had never occurred.
Yet, the ground told a different story, littered with thick vines oozing green liquid from their wounds—a testament to the fierce battle that had just unfolded.
“What on earth is this thing?” Jiang Hao muttered, his heart pounding with a mix of astonishment and confusion.
?Reflecting on the recent chaos, he suddenly exclaimed, “No way… Could this be the real-life version of the Black Mountain demon?”
“Damn, has the world gone mad, or have I?”
Jiang Hao gazed at the branches for a long while, gradually settling his nerves.
“This world has changed,” he murmured.
“With my current strength, it's unwise to delve any deeper.”
Jiang Hao frowned, peering into the forest's depths, and resolved to venture no further.
“But this grudge has been set. Once I've enhanced my strength, I'll be back for a reckoning!”
Even now, the memory of the encounter sent shivers down his spine. He was thankful for his foresight in bringing the mountain cleaver.
And with that, his urgency to master a more formidable martial art grew even more pressing.
“Alright, time's about right. I should be heading back now!”
With that, Jiang Hao gave Xiao Soong a pat and got ready to leave.
But as he turned, his eyes caught the severed vines scattered across the ground, oozing an unknown green liquid from their wounds, and he paused.
“I can't just leave without taking something with me, can I?”
Jiang Hao cautiously approached. Seeing no reaction from the vines, he swiftly gathered several severed pieces from the ground.
Once he reached safety, he examined the thick vines, comparable in size to small tree trunks.
After a long inspection yielding no insights, Jiang Hao decided to attempt a dissection.
He picked up a vine and commanded, “System, disassemble!”
?”Affirmative, host!”
“Ding… Congratulations to the host for disassembling a segment of the unnamed wood vine. You've obtained three Vegetation Pills, 1.1 skill points, and 1.1 experience points!”
Vegetation Pill: A concentration of plant essence, created from the absorption of spiritual energy, with the benefits of beauty and complexion nourishment, preserving one's appearance for five years!
“Disassembly complete. Would you like to proceed with extraction?”
Hearing this description, Jiang Hao was momentarily taken aback.
“Hiss—”
“It's like a diluted version of the Face Preserving Pill from the stories!”
Overwhelmed with joy, Jiang Hao was ecstatic.
“What a treasure!”
“Selling this for a few million shouldn't be an issue, right?”
Jiang Hao mused to himself.
