Chapter 4: The Frightening Man-Eating Plant

  Liu Ting's physical advantage was evident at this moment. If it were any other small animal, they would have run away without a trace when faced with such a situation. They would be rolling and crawling around, wishing their parents had given them two more legs so they wouldn't get caught in the crossfire by accident. But Liu Ting, relying on his compact body, didn't retreat but instead advanced, laughing and following the two entangled giant beasts from east to west and then from west to east, occasionally cheering them on. He was just short of holding a cup of iced coffee and a bag of popcorn in his hands. As it turned out, this level of fighting was indeed difficult to pose a great threat to such a small creature. That's why at this moment, a brazen mosquito was closely following two ferocious magic beasts with notorious reputations, watching the live broadcast of the bizarre scene.

  "It's so cool to watch live, Teacher Zhao's animal world is amazing, but it gets boring after watching too much. Nothing compares to this immersive scene. Ah! Big guy, use some strength, you almost pulled that silly snake down earlier...” Liu Ting was shouting and following the two magical beasts as they fought, looking extremely excited. They had already traveled over a thousand meters, gradually approaching the eerie man-eating tree that seemed sinister everywhere.

  It's just that this Geoma beast, which resembles a triangular dragon, is unlucky and encountered this rainforest electric python that has just molted. Originally, these two creatures belong to the middle-level magic beasts, one lives in the section close to the river, and the other inhabits the dense rainforest. They rarely meet once every few decades. Even if they do encounter each other, they can sense the dangerous aura transmitted from each other, so they won't fight.

  Tragedy is that this rainforest electric python has just completed its evolution into a higher-level demon beast, although it has not become a true high-ranking demon beast, but also became one of the top two in the middle-ranking demon beasts. Because it had just shed its skin, it was in a state of extreme hunger, so during this period, it would desperately hunt and eat to restore its relatively weak body. And the place where this rainforest electric python was hiding to shed its skin happened to be near a small tributary of the Panbai River, and it naturally encountered this enthusiastic Gema beast that came to play in the river. The rainforest electric python relied on its own strength after evolution, and didn't put this clumsy giant beast in its eyes at all, and it urgently needed to eat at this moment, so there was a scene of a heroic victory in this narrow encounter.

  The power of the Thunderbolt after evolving from the Rainforest Electric Eel is indeed formidable, and even the thick layer of fat on the Goma Beast's body surface is not enough to defend against it. However, it should be known that this Goma Beast is a herbivorous species, with no other skills except for its thick skin. Moreover, because this giant beast has many parasitic insects on its skin, just like wild boars on Earth, when it feels itchy, it likes to rub against big trees, and over time, a layer of thick fat forms on its body surface, just like wearing a steel armor, which can resist most attacks to some extent. Therefore, it can survive in the Thunderbolt's continuous release of electric power, but at this moment, it has already reached the point of exhaustion, with no energy left. That's why it will frantically collide with that ancient tree that it normally doesn't dare to approach, and it does so completely as a desperate move to perish together with its enemy.

  This ferocious man-eating ancient tree in this area has a notorious reputation, rivaling some high-ranking magical beasts. It is the undisputed overlord of this place. Normally, it is the only one that hunts and kills other creatures, and no one dares to provoke it. Now, being charged by the biological tank-like Gema beast with full force, it suddenly shook violently. The wide tree body has some cracks, revealing a huge mouth, from which a red liquid resembling blood flowed out. The injured man-eating ancient tree let out a terrifying roar, and thousands of vines on its smooth crown quivered together, frantically lashing down towards the ground, instantly causing the water surface to burst into countless waves, creating a strong visual effect.

  Of course, that's not all. This ancient tree is known as the Devil's Creeper, and once its vines wrap around you, it's a fight to the death. Very few creatures can escape from it. The two entwined demons were immediately attacked by thousands of vines, which were as agile as octopus tentacles. Thousands of them wrapped around at once, and in an instant, they could crush a boulder weighing several tons. Not to mention something like Gomar beast's flesh and blood body.

  The two entwined monsters, weighing tens of tons together, were also pulled into mid-air by the terrifying force of the man-eating ancient tree. No matter how hard the two giant beasts struggled, it was all in vain. Right before Liu Ting's eyes, they were pulled onto the tree's bare trunk. The vines that seemed soft and flexible now became as hard as steel chains, tightly binding the skin and flesh of the two monsters. The sharp thorns on the vines also joined in, stabbing into the bodies of the Rainforest Eel and the Gomar Beast. No matter how hard the skin armor of the two monsters was before, it now seemed fragile like paper, unable to provide them with any safety. The massive Gomar Beast was covered in large patches of vines, suffering a torture similar to being flayed alive. With just a few pulls, its flesh and blood flew everywhere, splashing the man-eating ancient tree and even turning the clear stream into a bright red color.

  "Wow, that's incredible!" Liu Ting watched in awe as the enraged Man-Eating Tree tore the two ferocious beasts into shreds, finally turning them into a bloody mess of scattered bones and throwing them mercilessly into the stream. His expression changed dramatically, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Only the wonders of nature can create such terrifying monsters!"

  In fact, it's not the time for the carnivorous tree to feed now. This terrifying plant that looks like it would make your hair stand on end actually feeds at night when the moon is bright and the stars are few. At that time, its massive trunk will produce a sweet fragrance that attracts hungry animals to come and eat, and then in the quiet of the night, it will anesthetize these poor creatures with the anesthetic toxin secreted from its body. Only after that will it absorb their flesh and blood, slowly devouring them, all of which happens unknowingly and very cleanly. It's actually quite elegant. Unlike now, when everything is in disarray, like a slaughterhouse. This is the aftermath of provoking this terrifying plant - furious, bloodthirsty, a reckless madness that doesn't consider the consequences.

  After appreciating the thrilling battle, Old Liu suddenly became somewhat disinterested, as if he had been touched by a certain heartstring. He unintentionally lingered here for a while before turning around and flying back to where he came from. However, just a few minutes later, this guy who pretended to be profound flew back, his eyes fixed on the flesh that still emitted a strong bloody smell on the ground, and his eyes seemed to have released a green light. As he flew over, he muttered to himself: "I didn't expect to get hungry so soon, it's really troublesome to have an insect body. There's no way, only here has ready-made food. I'm not capable of defeating those powerful ones, so I can only make do with this place..."
