Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials

Chapter 488 - 248: Devouring the King of Ferocious Plants, Thunder Talisman Formation

As for whether the Heaven-Cutting Vine really exists?!

This thought was just a fleeting notion in Zheng Yi’s mind, immediately cast aside.

The esteemed status of Divine Thought Patriarch meant he would never falsify such matters, and he had no reason to do so.

Hence, the matter must be true.

The clues about the Heaven-Cutting Vine still needed to be explored by himself.

Zheng Yi thought briefly, then quietly turned to leave.

Soon, he captured a mature wolf and brought it back.

To uncover the secrets of this place, Zheng Yi planned to test the waters to see if he could discover anything unusual.

"Off you go!"

With a casual flick, the controlled wolf, still reeling from the terrifying aura, let out a mournful scream and, in a panic, landed on the ground of the deathly still area.

The previously lifeless forest reflected in Zheng Yi’s eyes, then his pupils suddenly contracted and widened, witnessing a shocking scene.

Suddenly, the entire earth seemed to come alive, and tree roots were pulled from the ground, casting illusions in the air. From beneath the tall trees, roots continuously emerged like an octopus in the sea, flexibly whipping these stems towards the mighty wolf, binding it.

Indeed, the Wind-Walking Wolf proved its agility as a Fierce Beast, leaping a few times to evade the attack, only to be directly bound by dense roots, letting out a heartbreaking scream.

Zheng Yi noticed that those roots were covered with spikes that resembled tiny, blood-red mouths, which pierced into the wolf’s body. In just a few breaths, the robust Wind-Walking Wolf was reduced to a bag of bones, strewn on the ground.

Simultaneously, immense tree roots emerged from the earth, churned the soil, dragging the wolf’s carcass deep underground as the soil covered back over as if nothing ever happened.

Having absorbed a Fierce Beast’s flesh and blood, the great tree seemed quite satisfied, its trunk slightly swaying, producing a ’sasha’ sound, appearing quite joyful.

Beyond astonishment, Zheng Yi saw several strands of blood-red light glimmering on the tree bark, which quickly vanished.

Then, everything fell silent once more, the tree that had just been terrifyingly active swiftly relaxed, the roots returned underground, and that area resumed its prior state of deathly stillness, as if the frightening scene just now never occurred.

Without witnessing it firsthand, Zheng Yi could hardly conceive that this seemingly innocuous tree was, in fact, a terrifying Demon Plant, a Fierce Plant.

Over countless years, not only had those Fierce Beasts changed, but even a few rare plants, under certain specific conditions or environments, morphed into more terrifying Demon Plants.

These Demon Plants are extremely rare, yet their danger far surpasses ordinary Fierce Beasts.

In fact, even those ferocious Fierce Beasts become prey for these Demon Plants.

Any creature venturing into the territory controlled by Fierce Plants faces deadly attacks; once targeted, escape is rare.

Even the Wind-Walking Wolf, when facing other Fierce Beasts of similar strength, might use its galloping speed to stand a chance of escaping.

But once it entered the Fierce Plants’ region, it couldn’t endure even a few breaths before being drained dry.

"Since there are Fierce Plants, then the Heaven-Cutting Vine..."

Zheng Yi’s expression changed, delving deeper into contemplation.

Given the presence of such terrifying Fierce Plants here, likely guarding the equally rare Spiritual Object—’Heaven-Cutting Vine’—a threat.

The Heaven-Cutting Vine is likely hidden within this area, and to locate it, this Fierce Plant must be dealt with for further clues.

This area within the Sumeru Forest Cave Mansion bears a unique name.

The Tomb of Fierce Plants!

A region gathered with numerous Fierce Plants, even powerful Demon Beasts dare not approach lightly; an accidental entry leads to death entanglement, becoming buried deep underground.

Throughout millennia, this fertile ground has become a graveyard filled with bones.

Yet outsiders remain oblivious.

Every time the Senluo Cave Heaven opens, unintended intruders accidentally venture here, ultimately turning into bones under the tomb.

It should be noted, if not for such a perilous Fierce Plants’ Tomb, the Heaven-Cutting Vine marked on Divine Thought Patriarch’s map might not have remained undiscovered for so long, possibly found by someone or ruined by a powerful Fierce Beast.

But now, Zheng Yi saw his predicament clearly; a plethora of Fierce Plants gathered together, in mutual devouring, likely confronting the strongest King of Ferocious Plants.

Undoubtedly, this Fierce Plant is the strongest presence in this area, the sole Overlord, and all creatures entering become its prey.

Yet Zheng Yi was rather pleased.

He now confirmed the Heaven-Cutting Vine resides in this area, and this enormous tree capable of devouring all creatures may well be the threat guarding the Heaven-Cutting Vine, this essence of worldly spirit.
