Chapter 224 Retribution

Wang Hao could not help but be overjoyed, and said to Wang Guangan: "Ancestor, it is the life spirit fire, I have seen the description of this spirit fire, exactly the same as the record!"

Wang Hao was about to go forward to collect the spirit fire, but was held down by Wang Guangan on the shoulder, "Wait!"

Wang Hao looked at Wang Guangan in confusion.

Wang Guangan frowned and said: "The situation here is not right. The vicinity of the life spirit fire is most suitable for the growth of spiritual medicines, but look, why are there only a few high-year spiritual medicines here, and no low-year spiritual medicines at all?"

"Ancestor, what do you mean, a trap?" Wang Hao suddenly realized that this place was indeed abnormal, not just a matter of a few spiritual medicines, such a precious place, monsters should like to build nests here, but there is not a single monster! The monsters nearby seem to deliberately stay away from this place!

"Could it be that the third-level monster deliberately left these spiritual medicines to attract other monsters?"

"It shouldn't be a monster," Wang Guangan stared at the unusually thick vine with vigilance: "Maybe it's a tree monster!"

"Tree monster?" Wang Hao suddenly remembered the tree monster he met in the Danding Sect's spiritual medicine garden. The situation here is so similar. He should have discovered it earlier!

"Think about it, we have walked all the way here. The surrounding plants first flourished and then became scarce, until there was no trace at all. Only the big roots of this vine were left. If it were an ordinary plant, even if it robbed nutrients, it would never take them all for itself!" Wang Guangan said slowly: "I'm afraid it's not just the surface. The spiritual veins here should also be penetrated by these roots. Most of the spiritual energy of the entire spiritual vein will be taken by it to nourish itself! Such a large mine cannot be produced by only the second-level spiritual veins. Perhaps it is because this monster has been constantly asking for spiritual energy for thousands of years and hurting the spiritual veins, which led to the demotion!"

No wonder the surroundings are bare, without even a weed. It turns out to be like this.

After listening to Wang Guangan's explanation, Wang Hao also understood the abnormal situation around him.

The competition between plants is more cruel than that between cultivators and monsters.

This vine was born fortunately around the spiritual fire of life. Relying on the spiritual fire of life, it grew more vigorously than the surrounding plants from the beginning.

But after all, there is no sunlight here, and the nutrients in the soil are limited. In order to maintain its own growth, it will occupy the living space of other plants at all costs and plunder all the nutrients to itself.

Then it was fortunate to be born with spiritual wisdom and became a vine monster, so it plundered more crazily until it was the only one left in a radius of dozens of miles!

Even so, the nutrients around were still not enough, so the vine monster began to deliberately cultivate several high-year spiritual medicines, relying on the strange fragrance emitted by the spiritual medicines to constantly attract monsters to come!

Not surprisingly, all the monsters who wanted to devour the spiritual medicines were killed, buried underground as fertilizers, and turned into nutrients to be absorbed by it! No wonder there are no traces of monsters around!

Compared with the one in the Danding Sect's Spiritual Medicine Garden, this vine monster is undoubtedly more excessive and more extreme.

Plundering spiritual energy for self-cultivation, cultivators also do this, but which spiritual mountain where cultivators live is not full of vitality and spiritual energy?

Most cultivators emphasize the unity of man and nature, and the coexistence of man and nature. No upright cultivator will destroy the environment around the spiritual mountain!

Plundering everything in the world to feed itself, except for me, all others will be destroyed. This kind of selfish behavior is evil among cultivators!

Fortunately, tree monsters cannot move their bodies before transforming, so they can only harm this area!

Although the opponent may be a third-level vine monster, Wang Guangan does not intend to retreat. The spiritual fire of heaven and earth is too rare, and it would be a pity to give up. Moreover, this treasure land has been favored by his Wang family. If this monster is there, it cannot be occupied and must be eradicated. In addition, Wang Guangan also wants to try his own methods. He has not taken action since he became a Jindan cultivator. The fastest way for cultivators to enhance their fighting power is actual combat! This is a good opportunity. Even if he is defeated by a vine monster that cannot move freely, he can still take Wang Hao away!

He turned around and said to Wang Hao: "Hao'er, you retreat and protect yourself. I will go to meet it!"

Wang Hao nodded and retreated hundreds of feet. There were still roots of the vine monster around him, but they were only as thick as his arms. With the red lotus true fire blessed by Gan Yang True Flame, Wang Hao was confident that these roots could not hurt him.

At this distance, he could also observe Wang Guangan's fighting method and increase his own knowledge. At the same time, he might be able to hit the vine monster at a critical moment!

Seeing Wang Hao walking away, Wang Guangan shouted: "Such destructive plunder is not tolerated by the way of heaven. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and eliminate you, the vine monster!"

Wang Guangan took out the three-flame fan given to him by Jin Heng, looked at the vine monster with a sharp look, and fanned it fiercely.

A blazing flame turned into a huge firebird and swooped towards the vine monster.

The vine monster has a well-developed root system and strong perception. It had already discovered Wang Hao and the other two. It didn't take action before because the two had not yet reached the vicinity of its body, and it couldn't kill them with one strike.

He Qing was not the first cultivator to discover the secret of this place. Dozens of people had come here before him. At first, the vine monster killed everyone it saw.

But later, it became greedy. If it met one or two cultivators, it would let them pick one or two spiritual herbs, and then show its momentum to scare them away. These greedy cultivators usually find more cultivators to explore the secret together, and often because of greed, they will not find cultivators who are much stronger than them to help.

Without exception, when they came again, they all turned into fertilizer for the vine monster! In this way, after thousands of years, this place is still unknown to the outside forces!

The vine monster wanted to repeat the same trick, but it didn't expect that this time it would be a Jindan cultivator and a mid-stage foundation building cultivator. However, even so, it was still confident that it could kill the two. When the two greedy humans picked the spiritual medicine, even the Jindan cultivator could not escape the close-range attack.

Unfortunately, its secret was discovered by the hateful humans.

The firebird hit the main root of the vine monster that was not on guard, burning that section of the root system to ashes!

The vine monster was extremely angry, waving vines to fight back. Several vines suddenly broke into several pieces, and a green light flashed, turning into spears that shot at Wang Guangan at high speed!

These are the vines of the vine monster's body. They are already powerful. After being blessed by its demonic power, they are even sharper, comparable to the flying swords of immortal cultivators.

As soon as the vine monster made a move, its strength was also exposed. Wang Hao and Wang Guangan judged that it was only a third-level low-grade vine monster.

Wang Hao was a little surprised that the vine monster had existed for thousands of years and had the help of the life spirit fire, but it was only this powerful.

But it made sense when he thought about it. The surrounding resources were plundered by the vine monster, and even the third-level spirit vein was downgraded. Without subsequent replenishment, how could it advance?

There is a cause and an effect, and the law of nature is clear, and retribution is inevitable.
