Cultivating Loser’s Counterattack - C131 Terrifying Green Vines
Yuan Lang momentarily forgot to warn Shen Chang, as he turned around and disappeared from the two people’s sight. Gu Qing and Shen Chang’s face changed at the same time. Not caring about what happened just now, the two of them walked down, one in front of the other. When they followed the noise and arrived at the first floor, disorderly shouts sounded out one after another.
Just as Gu Qing walked closer, she saw a male cultivator lying on the ground. Blood was flowing out of his eyes, ears, nose and mouth, and he was no longer breathing.
Yuan Lang took a step ahead of them, and upon seeing that, shouted: “Quickly throw away all the things you have taken away from here.”
When everyone heard this, they immediately threw out the Universe Bag’s treasure. Only one person hesitated for a moment, holding it in her hand. But in that moment, Gu Qing saw a few green tentacles appearing on the alms bowl artifact in his hands, and disappeared in a flash.
Gu Qing blinked her eyes. She thought she had seen wrongly, but when she looked more carefully, she really saw a few extremely thin tentacles that were as big as the tip of a needle slowly piercing into the disciple’s hands.
Ah!
Another miserable scream rang out. The cultivator, who was still holding onto the alms bowl, fell to the ground with a thud. Then, just like the previous person, he went silent.
Everyone present were dumbstruck. Just as Yuan Lang was about to step forward to save him, Shen Chang suddenly said, “Senior Brother, wait!”
Yuan Lang’s footsteps paused, and he continued to speak: “Look!”
At this time, everyone’s gaze followed Shen Chang’s slender fingers and looked at the first person to scream in pain and lose their life force. His originally white face became ghastly green, and a few black green lines gradually appeared on his face.
In the blink of an eye, those dark green lines wriggled like bugs, as if they were doing their best to break out of the shackles on their opponent’s body.
“Puchi.” “Puchi.” The dark green lines that were squirming like bugs drilled out from the skin on his face.
Then, more and more dark green lines began popping out of the dead cultivator’s skin.
Ah!
Other than Gu Qing and Liu Ying, the other female cultivator was already cowering in fear.
Gu Qing took a closer look and saw what insects were inside those dark green things. They were thin vines that were borrowing the bodies of the dead cultivators as the soil to quickly take root and sprout.
“Puchi.” “Puchi” sounds rang out one after another, and dark green lines began to appear on the other corpse.
“Look!” There’s more over there! ” Someone pointed at the Spiritual Treasure that had been thrown away, and sure enough, they saw a few thin and small tentacles crawling out from the Spiritual Treasure, densely covering over towards them.
“Get out of here!” Yuan Lang’s face changed, and called for everyone to leave.
However, countless green tentacles had already appeared in this ancient tower. They covered the ground in a thin layer, making it look like a large patch of moss.
Gu Qing finally understood why she saw a Hun Tian Bead on the third floor, and why there was one of her own. So everything here was fake!
Yuan Lang raised his arm slightly, and a purple ray of light landed on the dense green area in front of him, and exploded with a loud “bang”. Who would have thought that Golden Core Stage Cultivator’s attacks would be useless against these green vines, continuing to spread like a tide.
Gu Qing’s pupils contracted, she suddenly extended her hand out and shot a fireball.
The vines that were trying to block their path were suddenly stimulated, twisting and turning crazily. Then, they slowly opened up a section.
Seeing that, Gu Qing’s eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Yuan Lang’s back: Martial Uncle Yuan Lang, these things should be vines, the fire attack should have its effects.
After Yuan Lang heard this, he immediately called out to him. A large cloud of fire instantly landed on a large patch of green and a black smoke rose. As expected, the expressions on everyone’s faces relaxed.
Gu Qing didn’t know how to make big moves, but she could fire fireballs consecutively, with dozens of them shooting out at the same time. In the blink of an eye, the green vines all around them were reduced to ashes by this crazy attack.
The group of eight people, who had almost been separated by the vines, were now gathered together.
“It’s here again!”
The area that had just been destroyed into a pile of black ash was once again covered in green vines.
“No!” “This is not a place to stay for long. There are too many things here, and even if we use up all our spiritual energy, we might not be able to completely get rid of them.” Shen Chang said rationally with a calm brow.
“But there are so many treasures here, it would be a pity if we leave. Why don’t we attack and recover in batches? That way, we don’t have to worry about the depletion of our spiritual energy.” Some people spoke out, while others answered. Clearly, many people were thinking the same thing.
With this suggestion, even Yuan Lang hesitated. After all, being able to meet this pagoda was a huge opportunity, to be forced to leave like that was truly a pity.
Yuan Lang was about to speak, when Gu Qing suddenly shouted: “Martial Uncle, to take the risk, you must be worthy, the treasures here are not real!”
When he said that, even Liu Ying who was at the side opened her eyes wide: “Senior Sister Zi Jin, how do you know that all of this is not true?”
When Gu Qing said this, she had already thought of a way to deal with it, and she lied without blinking: “You all know that I started as a rogue cultivator, I didn’t have the resources from the Xuanhua Sect like you all do, so I had to rely on myself to obtain everything. So this auction house is the place I go the most, there are many things I have seen others bid for. Why would the things in this pagoda appear outside at the same time? There was only one explanation, and that was … None of this is true! ”
While Gu Qing was speaking, the surrounding vines had already surrounded them like a tide, layer by layer surrounding them in the center. Fortunately, they were not far from the main gate. As long as they worked together, they would have a good chance of escaping.
After hearing what Gu Qing had said, Yuan Lang believed most of it, but he confirmed it, “Is what you said true?”
“That’s right. If it’s not true, then why haven’t I taken a single one?” Gu Qing replied calmly.
Yuan Lang originally believed in her, but she was going to give everyone an explanation, so he nodded his head: “Then that’s fine, everyone immediately retreat outside the door!”
At this moment, when Liu Ying finished listening to Gu Qing and saw how she could casually shoot out dozens of fireballs, she was filled with admiration and followed closely behind her, “Senior Sister Zi Jin, you’re so powerful, even my Senior Sister Gu Qing can only shoot a few fireballs at a time. You can actually shoot dozens of fireballs at a time.”
Liu Ying slacked off openly by her side, and it was also very safe. While others were busy dealing with the extremely fast vines, Gu Qing was very calm. There weren’t even a single vine within 10 meters of her.
Everyone worked together to finally force the seemingly endless vines out of the pagoda when the spiritual energy was about to run out.
Gu Qing stood still, and turned back to look. The door that was initially open had already closed, and the entire tower had quickly disappeared from everyone’s eyes.
Everyone’s eyes flashed with fear. At this moment, everyone had a full understanding of Ancient Ruins. This place was probably more dangerous than any secret realm they had ever experienced.
He had lost two of his peers the moment he entered, and everyone’s faces were filled with worry. Yuan Lang also blamed himself, blamed himself for not checking properly and causing the lives of his two disciples.
Although he didn’t know what Gu Qing was thinking, based on her own understanding of, she knew that Yuan Lang was different from many other cultivators. He had a kind heart, so at this moment, she definitely did not feel good about Yuan Lang.
She lightly strode towards Yuan Lang’s direction, before stopping three feet behind him. “Martial Uncle, we can’t blame you for this matter, we can’t blame you too much. Since we have chosen this path, only we are responsible for our own lives. Opportunity and danger have always existed side by side, and they just lacked some luck. ”
Yuan Lang knew that the person behind him was Gu Qing, but he did not turn back, feeling guilty in his heart, “I know, but I will be in charge of leading you guys, and I lost two people in less than a day …”
Gu Qing circled around to his side and stood still. Looking at the black buzzing sky in front of him, she did not say a word. After a long while, she suddenly asked: “Martial Uncle Yuan Lang, how did you become a cultivator?”
Yuan Lang was startled, and then recovered from his self-blame, “There’s no other reason, because my parents were cultivators, the moment I was born, my spirit root would naturally follow this path.”
“So it turns out that Martial Uncle’s parents are cultivators as well. Could it be an elder of the Xuanhua Sect? ” She turned her head and smiled mischievously at Yuan Lang.
Yuan Lang was blinded by her smile, and this was the first time he saw her smile in such a way, lively and enchanting. When he looked carefully, Gu Qing’s smile had already disappeared, and he was only staring ahead with the corners of his mouth raised.
“You should smile more!” Yuan Lang said in a baffled manner, then continued: “My parents are not cultivators of Xuanhua Sect, they have long traveled around the world, and it was more than ten years ago that I met them.”
“How old are you, Martial Uncle? Could it be the old man? ” Gu Qing laughed again, his eyes bent like crescent moons. Although there was nothing special about his appearance, but that smile was extremely beautiful.
“Wait!” Yuan Lang was startled once again, and stared at her face as he spoke.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Qing’s smile still gradually disappeared. She touched her face with some lingering fear, worried that she would reveal her true appearance.
Yuan Lang’s mood was already much better, but he stared at her face without saying a word.
Gu Qing saw from the other party’s eyes that her reflection was still in disguise, and heaved a sigh of relief. Just then, she realized that she had unknowingly revealed her true nature to make Yuan Lang happy. Ever since she left the Huaqing Palace, she did not have anyone that she could trust. She had already learned how to hide her true emotions, but she did not expect at this moment, she actually believed Yuan Lang. She unconsciously revealed her true nature in front of him.
