Chapter 745 Bating it Ou
"Master, it seems that those vines are trying to get to us but unable to reach..." Nadia spoke as she glanced at the frozen container with the corner of her eyes. It radiated an unusual chill, causing her soul to shudder.
'What is that? I'm a little uncomfortable in its presence, yet it is giving a favorable sensation...' She bit her lips but didn't dare to ask what it is...
Davis nodded his head with the same mocking expression on his face, "It's a Yin Essence..."
"Yin Essence!?" Nadia's eyes flashed with greed.
As a wolf who possessed an affinity with the moon, she desired dark, and yin attributed locations, with the latter being preferred a little than the former.
"Hehe..." Davis noticed her desiring expression, "It's not for you..."
"I'm currently using it for baiting the plant lifeform out of the mountains..."
Nadia blinked and turned to look at the vines starting to stretch out more towards them. Her eyes widened as she moved her lips, "Master, it's coming!"
Davis just continued to smile while watching his two slaves scorch the thousands of vines to death. Their flames were far-reaching, extremely stronger than his flames due to the stage difference. The vines all swiftly lit up the moment the flames touched them as if they were covered in gasoline.
They even burnt down the Eighth Stage vines that started to blot out the sky in response to his aggravation and bait.
Abruptly, his eyes flashed as he looked towards in the direction of the Ethren Empire.
'Eight minutes...'
From the start of the battle till now, only eight minutes had passed, but the experts of the Ethren Empire had arrived in the distance but were blocked by his slave, Kalamaz Ethren. However, he could feel their undulations reach the Mid-Level Law Sea Stage, meaning that the stronger Imperial Protectors have arrived.
Davis confusingly narrowed his eyes.
Even Magical Beast Tides only causes these experts to arrive after the Magical Beast Tides reached its stagnant point, but even after losing their Emperor, four Imperial Protectors to the Conferred Queen's Protector, they sent four strong Imperial Protectors to this place?
Judging by how they quickly came after being delayed by the news relay, it could be seen that they rather knew about this plant lifeform.
However, when he asked his four slaves about the Sunset Tear Mountain vines before, they only recited that those vines were the ones who caused the Sunset Tear Phenomenon and didn't say anything other than this despite his stern investigation.
That meant that perhaps the Emperor and the stronger Imperial Protectors who were at the Mid-Level Law Sea Stage knew about this plant lifeform.
Davis coldly laughed.
If they were bent on entering this region even after hearing the Conferred Queen's Protector's name...
'I couldn't be blamed, right?' An evil grin formed on his lips.
Davis returned his gaze towards the ruined mountains and saw the vines get destroyed and burnt in hundreds at a time. The two slaves simultaneously set up flaming walls that extended to ten kilometers, blotting out the sky, drenching the vines in intense flames as far as they could.
They never held back and continuously unleashed apocalyptic waves of fire that made the atmosphere turn incredibly hot! The vines tried to pass through the flaming walls, but they were all burned into a crisp.
Davis believed that they would have to maneuver to the side with no choice, but contrary to his expectations, numerous vines started to emit a bone-chilling coldness and broke through the flaming walls with the yin attribute.
Davis closely observed the vines that broke through the defense and found that they possessed the strength of the Mid-Level Eighth Stage!
'So it's not a Low-level Eighth Stage Lifeform...' Davis mused in interest as he initially felt it to be the case after stealing the Yin Essence from it, after all, the vines sucking the energy out of the Yin Essence were at the Low-Level Eighth Stage.
But now, the plant lifeform seems to possess Mid-Level Eighth Stage vines as well, and they seem to number in the hundreds.
If it were a High-Level Eighth Stage Lifeform, he felt that he would have to escape this place as soon as possible, but...
His sapphire eyes flashed with a mocking light.
Those Ethren Empire's Imperial Protectors who had arrived were like basically asking him to make them his slave. He could use them to distract it and perhaps even critically injure it.
And judging by how they were still not entering this mountain region, it could be seen that they were either intimidated by the hundred thousands of vines or feared the existence of the Conferred Queen's Protector in this region.
In any case, he didn't need them for now, so he concentrated his sense on the flaming purgatory below.
Even though the Mid-Level Eighth Stage vines were flailing around trying to break away from the two hindrances, they were still being burned to a crisp!
'Heh, it seems like the yin attribute it absorbed couldn't be used for a long time...' Davis laughed in disdain.
He felt everything was within his grasp, and whether if it was his delusion or confidence, he didn't know.
Abruptly, the mountain started to tremble...
Everyone in the region and even those who were hundreds of kilometers away felt that! The tremor increased in intensity, and the magnitude shook the entire mountain and left the onlookers feeling like the whole mountain was going to split apart!
Davis's lips curved as he knew that it was about time the plant lifeform exited the mountain to pursue him, or rather pursue the Yin Essence that he had stolen from it. He felt that it could in no way resist the temptation of the Yin Essence since it seemed to be mainly feeding off of it.
However, even with its two hundred and fifty kilometer long vines, it wasn't able to reach him; hence, the only way that it could reach him was for it to exit the mountain!
That was why he retreated to where Nadia floated!
*Boom!~*
A part of the mountain collapsed and caved in when a ten-meter thick vine swayed above. It continued to ascend, and its kilometer-long enormous yet grotesque body appeared in his view.
Thick veins that were deep blue in color were running all over its body, throbbing in rage. Its stem was vast and dense, making up most of its lower body while there were strands of millions of thick hair below it, probably its root hairs.
The vines nearest to its head were larger in diameter and stronger than the thousands of vines below them. At the top of its head was a single, yet huge, hundred-meter wide six-petaled flower with a hue of the dusk coloring it.
Its petals have small and deep blue lines running inside its body like veins, reaching its pistil and stamen.
"Ahnn~?"
However, Davis cast his attention to Nadia, who actually widened her eyes while a strange moan escaped out from her lips.
Nadia clenched her teeth while her fists shivered. Her yellow pupils trembled for an unknown reason. She looked at the flower in desire as if it cast a bewitching spell on her.
Looking at her reaction, Davis became astonished because even her drool was cascading down her lips!
