Chapter 191 The Emergence of Intelligence
The Nascent Soul cultivator, relentlessly pursued by the Ghost Blood Vine, was preoccupied with the Jade Stream Fruit he had finally obtained, even as he fled.
He glanced down during a moment of leisure, and what he saw made his eyes widen in surprise.
Where was the precious Jade Stream Fruit, which shone with an alluring luster, now in his hands?
Instead, there was a slippery, dull black stone.
In an instant, anger surged into my heart like a raging tide.
His face was contorted with extreme anger, and veins bulged on his forehead.
He hurled the stone in his hand and roared hoarsely:
"We've all been fooled by that little demon! The Jade Stream Fruit is definitely still in her hands!"
However, at this moment, the Ghost Blood Vine was rapidly approaching from behind, emitting a series of chilling whistling sounds.
The demons, who had just been clinging to a sliver of hope, were utterly terrified upon hearing this sound.
They dared not linger for even a moment, let alone go back to confront Chen Wan'er.
Just as they were desperately fleeing, another demon was unfortunately entangled by the vines of the Ghost Blood Vine.
The demon instantly let out a desperate scream as its body was tightly bound by the Ghost Blood Vine.
They struggled incessantly, but were unable to break free.
This scene brought the fear of the other demons to its peak, and they could only do their best to speed up their escape.
"That's not right! Wasn't it said that there wouldn't be any other demonic beasts where the Ghost Blood Vine stayed?"
Why is it staying with that mysterious bull-horse beast?
Could it be... could it have developed sentience and deliberately set this trap to ambush us?
In the midst of the chaos, a demon cultivator suddenly cried out his doubts in terror.
Upon hearing this, the other demon cultivators reacted as if struck by lightning, instantly realizing what had happened.
The thought of facing a cunning and intelligent ghost blood vine sent chills down their spines, a coldness shooting from their feet to the top of their heads.
In an instant, the remaining demons unleashed an unprecedented speed.
In this life-or-death moment, their will to survive was fully ignited.
They knew that the Ghost Blood Vine, now possessing sentience, was far more powerful than they could contend with.
Compared to it, we are no match at all.
"It's all that banshee's fault! If it weren't for her, how could we have ended up in such a desperate situation!"
If I ever see her again, I will tear her to pieces to vent my hatred!
A demon roared through gritted teeth.
The other demons nodded in agreement, their eyes burning with hatred.
But at this moment, all they could do was flee for their lives.
However, the gears of fate seemed to have already sealed their fate.
In the next instant, the demons who were desperately trying to escape were struck by an invisible force, and their bodies fell forward uncontrollably.
They lay on the ground, their eyes filled with terror and confusion.
A mysterious toxin spread rapidly through their bodies, causing them to convulse uncontrollably.
They tried their best to break free from this unknown fear and helplessness.
But the toxin clung to them like a maggot, relentlessly eroding their bodies.
At this moment, Ghost Blood Vine received a message from Chen Wan'er:
"Xiao Teng, these snacks are for you. Come back when you're full."
As if it understood, the Ghost Blood Vine swayed gently.
It slowly crawled toward the fallen demons on the ground, preparing to enjoy this sumptuous "feast".
Not long after, a chilling and horrifying scream suddenly rang out from inside the cave.
The sound was sharp and mournful, echoing back and forth between the stone walls of the cave, as if countless wronged souls were wailing in agony.
When the Ghost Blood Vine returned after its feast, everyone could clearly see that it had grown significantly larger.
The originally slender vines became thicker and stronger, with the storage bags and storage rings of those unfortunate cultivators wrapped around them, swaying slightly with their movements.
Ghost Blood Vine, like a child eagerly seeking praise from an adult, presented these "spoils of war" to Chen Wan'er as if offering a treasure.
Then, it obediently stretched out its vines, transforming into the shape of a recliner, quietly waiting for Chen Wan'er's praise.
"Junior Sister, has your Ghost Blood Vine already developed sentience?"
Baili Chen's eyes were filled with surprise as he asked incredulously.
Chen Wan'er smiled slightly and nodded in satisfaction.
After all, the Ghost Blood Vine had absorbed so much blood; if it still couldn't develop sentience, she would truly feel like she had lost out big time.
"Manman, among your demon race, what cultivation level does a newly sentient demon like this usually correspond to?"
Chen Wan'er turned to look at Manman and asked curiously.
"Golden Core stage," Manman answered without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Lou Chongxiao's eyes widened in shock.
His mouth was agape, his face filled with disbelief.
"What? Only at the Golden Core stage?"
You mean, it was just a Foundation Establishment stage demon before?
How could a Foundation Establishment stage Ghost Blood Vine scare a group of Nascent Soul stage experts into running away in terror?
This is outrageous!
Manman quickly explained, "The Ghost Blood Vine is one of the four most notorious and dangerous creatures in our demon race."
It possesses terrifying innate talent, enabling it to defeat enemies across realms, and cannot be categorized as an ordinary demon.
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized the truth.
So that's how it is! No wonder the Ghost Blood Vine is so powerful; it has such an extraordinary origin!
But who would have thought that such a terrifying beast would be so easily tamed by their own junior sister?
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but have some doubts.
I really can't tell just how deep my junior sister's strength is.
Where exactly is the bottom line of strength?
Looking back on this experience, everyone has to admit that this trip to Wuwang Mountain was very rewarding.
"Manman, where are we going next?"
Ye Lingyu looked at Manman and asked softly.
Manman was deep in thought, pondering various possible destinations.
Before he could even speak, he was interrupted by Chen Wan'er's voice.
"As everyone has seen, the situation on the demon side is not to be underestimated."
Any random group of demons that appears is led by a Nascent Soul stage expert.
In my opinion, what we need to do most right now is to improve our own character.
Manman, you need to at least break through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.
As for the senior brothers and sisters, shouldn't they also strive to reach the Nascent Soul stage?
Don't forget, our senior brother and his group are progressing much faster in their cultivation than we are."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingyu and the others felt a pang of shame and unconsciously lowered their heads.
They knew in their hearts that they were currently only at the Golden Core stage.
In this territory of the demon race, where powerful beings abound, they do indeed seem somewhat insignificant.
Moreover, whenever danger arises, it is always the junior sister who rushes to the front without hesitation to protect everyone.
This is really not a good idea to continue like this.
Therefore, the six of them decisively left the Snake Clan's Hopeless Mountain.
Find a quiet place nearby with abundant spiritual energy, calm your mind, and devote yourself wholeheartedly to cultivation.
