Chapter Fifty-two: The Devil-faced Strangler Fig Tree

  When the three of them walked out of the grand hall with twisted tree trunks, the scene in front of them suddenly changed. It was a dark forest, where giant trees stood tall, their dark branches stretching out to cover the sky, giving people a gloomy feeling.

  Li Luo and others took a glance at this dark forest, then their eyes stopped on a crystal wall in front of them, which was obviously newly erected recently.

  On the crystal wall, words flowed and emitted a faint light.

  Li Luo and they carefully read the text again, then their expressions became more serious.

  "This stage is about seizing the Ghost Mask Fruit."

  In this dark forest, there exists a special plant called the Ghost Face Devil Vine Tree. Its nature is ferocious and it likes to strangle any living creature that approaches it, then bury its corpse at the base of its roots to nourish itself with its flesh and blood, thus growing stronger.

  After the Ghost Mask Devil Vine matures, it will produce a "Ghost Mask Fruit". The second layer of review is to obtain a "Ghost Mask Fruit" in order to get basic points.

  "This Ghost-Faced Devil Vine is not easy to deal with, its surface is covered with poisonous thorns and its attacks are fierce. To be honest, even a cultivator at the Eight Trigrams Unity stage would find it difficult to obtain the Ghost-Faced Fruit from it in a one-on-one battle." Zhao Kou frowned and said.

  Yu Lang, who had originally planned to slip away earlier, pulled his foot back and said, "I suggest the three of us join forces to seize the Ghost Face Fruit, what do you think?"

  "It seems like you want to fly solo." Li Luo said with a smile.

  Yu Lang said somewhat awkwardly: "How is that possible? We are sworn brothers who have gone through thick and thin together."

  Li Luo shook his head, too lazy to bother with this guys nonsense, but he didnt object to Yu Langs proposal. Although he might have a way to get the "Ghost Face Fruit" on his own, it would be much easier with someones help.

  But if its easy, why bother working hard yourself?

  "Lets go."

  Li Luo said something and then took the lead, walking directly into the dark forest. Yu Lang and Zhao Kuo hurriedly followed behind him.

  The three of them walked together, heading deep into the forest. After proceeding in this manner for over ten minutes, they heard a commotion coming from a distance on their right side.

  The three of them exchanged a glance, and quietly moved forward, parting the dense thicket. Then they saw in front of them a patch of muddy wet ground, where a large black tree stood tall. The tree was entwined with black vines, which had black thorns on them, and as they swayed back and forth, it seemed like a giant black python, making a piercing sound that cut through the air.

  On the thick trunk of a large tree, a somewhat ferocious face seems to be visible, making people feel a chill.

  It was a Ghost Face Devil Vine Tree.

  However, around this ghost-faced demon vine tree, there were already six or seven figures present. They were apparently joining forces to destroy the demon vine tree, with each figures powerful light bursting forth as they continuously launched attacks on the demon vine tree.

  The devil vine was also fiercely counterattacking, with the poisonous thorns on the vines whipping down brutally, with a shocking force, directly flogging those six or seven people until they were screaming in terror.

  "Its too pitiful."

  Yu Lang couldnt bear to look directly at them. These six or seven people were just ordinary, only around the sixth rank. Even relying on their numbers, they were still being suppressed by that demonic vine tree.

  And every time I was whipped by the vines, the crackling sound made my scalp numb, as if I remembered the rod wielded by my parents.

  In just a short while, the temporary team in front of him was drained of blood and fled in disarray. Fortunately, the magic vines attack range was limited, otherwise it would not have been so easy for them to retreat.

  Three people witnessed a tragic event and couldnt help but shake their heads.

  "This ghost-faced devil vine is a bit tricky." Zhao Kuai said with some worry, although their strength was stronger than the previous team, but wanting to pass through the ghost-faced devil vines violent tendril attack and snatch the ghost-faced fruit on its branches might not be an easy task either.

  "Yu Lang, you go try first." Li Luo said after some thought.

  Yu Lang heard this and immediately dissatisfiedly muttered: "Why did they call me?"

  "You are the Wind Chaser, the fastest one, if you dont take the lead, who will?" Li Luo said with a smile.

  Yu Lang was unable to refute, and could only curse as he moved forward, a blue aura spreading out from his body, and immediately his figure was like the wind, rushing out and stirring up waves of air.

  "Hmph, no wonder hes known as the fastest man in our Nanfeng Academy." Zhao Kuai said with a strange expression.

  Li Luo stared at Yu Langs figure, this guys speed was indeed very fast, and it could be seen that he had obviously put more energy into the cultivation of speed, which was actually a very smart choice.

  Hiss!

  As Yu Lang rapidly approached the ghost-faced devil vine tree, the latter also sensed it and immediately descended like a giant python with its vines.

  Yu Lang quickly dodged and weaved, but as he approached, the demonic vine tree seemed to sense a threat and more and more vines came howling in, constantly blocking his evasive space. As a result, Yu Langs figure was no longer as elegant as before, and he began to look a bit disheveled.

  He finally chose to retreat, his figure flashing as he left the range of the Devil Trees attack and landed beside Li Luo and Zhao Kuang.

  "No way, its impossible to get close, let alone snatch the ghost face fruit." Yu Lang wiped the sweat from his face and said helplessly.

  "Its actually not that difficult."

  Li Luo smiled and said, "The speed at which Yu Lang was just now has already forced out the attack frequency of this ghost-faced magic vine tree. Next, well work together to take it down. Zhao Kuo will be in front as a meat shield, Ill assist him in entangling the magic vine trees frontal assault, and youll wait for an opportunity to strike from the side and snatch the ghost-faced fruit."

  "In this way, most of the trouble will be borne by Zhao Kuai."

  Zhao Kuang heard this and chuckled, saying: "Dont worry, Im thick-skinned."

  Li Luo nodded, not saying too many hypocritical words. For now, since they were working together, everyone had to show their own role. He didnt want to let Zhao Kou slack off just because of their good relationship, and besides, Zhao Kou probably wouldnt accept that either.

  "Go." Yu Lang didnt have an opinion either.

  Having decided on a simple battle plan, the three of them no longer hesitated. Li Luo drew out his pair of knives from his waist, while Zhao Kuai took down the large axe from his back.

  "Lets get started!"

  Along with Li Luos low shout, Zhao Kuang let out a loud roar and his sturdy and majestic body charged out like a fierce bear, directly rushing towards the magic vine tree in the most violent posture.

  A faint silver glow emanated from his body, and when the Silver Bear stirred, Zhao Kuangs already robust physique expanded another circle.

  Hmph!

  The response of the Devil Vine came quickly, a giant python-like tendril flashed and whizzed over, bringing with it a sharp breaking wind sound.

  Zhao Kuang wielded the large axe in his hand, as if it were a blade of violent wind, cutting off the vines that came at him head-on with a loud crash, and the bright green sap splashed open.

  The mud under his feet suddenly burst at this moment, and a tendril drilled out of the ground, pointing directly at Zhao Kuangs lower body.

  However, at this moment a blue-glinting knife light flashed by, cutting through the vines.

  A blue aura rose from Li Luolis body as he stood behind Zhao Kuang, his twin blades occasionally flashing with a blue light that cut off some of the vines attacking Zhao Kuang.

  The two of them kept approaching the demonic vine tree.

  But as they got closer, the demonic vine tree also started to go berserk, countless vines smashing down like crazy, and even though Li Luo tried his best to help resist, some of the vines still managed to whip Zhao Kuangs body, leaving behind streaks of blood, but he didnt make a sound, gritting his teeth, step by step, getting closer.

  Yu Lang, take action!

  At this time, Li Luo knew that the timing was almost right, and he suddenly let out a loud roar.

  "Alright!"

  Yu Lang, who had been waiting on the sidelines, heard the call and burst out in an instant, his speed reaching its peak. Taking advantage of the fact that Li Luo and the others were distracted by the magic vines, he made a beeline for the ghost-faced fruit hanging from the branch.

  His speed was extremely fast, and with a blink of an eye, he approached the Ghost Face Fruit. Just as he was about to snatch it, the mud beneath him suddenly burst open, and a strange figure shot out from below, trying to seize the fruit first.

  "Damn it!"

  This sudden change made Yu Langs face turn iron-green, and he burst into a loud scolding. No one expected that someone was hiding in the dark, waiting for the yellow sparrow to fall!

  However, just as Yu Lang was watching the newcomer take a step ahead of him, Li Luo suddenly let out a loud shout: "Yu Lang, close your eyes!"

  With a sudden cold expression, he raised his hand and a blue light ball had already condensed on his fingertips, shooting out violently.

  A blue light ball suddenly burst near the distance between Yu Lang and the silhouette that made a surprise attack, and in the next instant, a strong light burst forth.
