Bloodsucking Wood Monster Forest

“Piercing Branch!”

“Growth!”

The follow-up skill Growth rapidly grew countless thin branches after Piercing Branch, which were as strong as ropes, quickly binding the body of the 6th rank 8th stage Bloodsucking Wood Monster. It tightly bound the horrible blood-sucking arms of this wild monster, preventing it from having any chance to stretch out.

“Root Piercing!”

Upon Chu Mu’s command, the Demon Tree Warrior let out a roar and its roots swiftly traversed thirty meters of land. In an instant, seventy roots turned into countless sharp spikes, madly penetrating the Bloodsucking Wood Monster’s body. In the end, the monster couldn’t resist the Demon Tree Warrior’s Root Piercing attack and let out a wail like that of an old person. Its body was pierced with holes…

As the thin branches from the Growth skill slowly disappeared, the Bloodsucking Wood Monster finally fell to the ground, completely lifeless.

After dealing with this Bloodsucking Wood Monster, Chu Mu quickly stepped forward and had Zhan Ye tear open the red bark of the monster with its claws to see if there was any Bloodsucking Wood inside its body.

Unfortunately, this was already the fifth Bloodsucking Wood Monster Chu Mu had killed today, and he still hadn’t obtained any Bloodsucking Wood…

“It seems I really have to go there.” Chu Mu lifted his head, gazing at the forest about two hundred meters ahead.

The forest where Chu Mu currently stood was mostly green, with not very tall trees and sunlight shining through, giving the entire forest a peaceful and serene appearance, creating a sense of closeness to nature.

The forest approximately two hundred meters in front of Chu Mu was completely different from the one he was in. It was a place where sunlight couldn’t penetrate the forest, making it look as dark as dusk or night.

The trees there were tall and dense, with entangled roots and very close distances between each tree, also giving a sense of depression. Such forests usually had the presence of some mysterious realms or dangerous soul pets; otherwise, the atmosphere wouldn’t be so depressing, and there wouldn’t be cold winds hitting his face from time to time.

Chu Mu had been walking around the outer periphery of the Bloodsucking Wood Monster’s territory, encountering mostly 5th and 6th rank Bloodsucking Wood Monsters.

Bloodsucking Wood was relatively rare and only some Bloodsucking Wood Monsters with special bloodline could breed this special spirit item that could be fused with other wood-type races.

Fifth and sixth-rank Bloodsucking Wood Monsters could also breed Bloodsucking Wood, but the higher the rank, the greater the probability of breeding it.

The inner part of the Bloodsucking Wood Monster’s territory was extremely dark and terrifying, and Chu Mu hadn’t originally intended to venture in. However, since he hadn’t found any Bloodsucking Wood so far, he had no choice but to try his luck in the dark forest.

The outer part of the Bloodsucking Wood Monster’s territory was warm due to the sunlight shining down. As Chu Mu entered the dark forest, he felt the temperature around him drop suddenly.

Perhaps due to the plants changing from green to gray and black, Chu Mu felt as if he had stepped into another forest entirely.

Strange cries came from the gloomy forest, with eerie shaking of the bushes from time to time. Some soul pets with black shadows quickly passed by, then disappeared among the sturdy tree trunks, vanishing on the spot.

The gray leaves blocked the light, and only occasionally would one or two beams of white light penetrate through the gaps between the leaves, falling on some open fallen leaves below. However, this did not bring much vitality to the forest, which remained lifeless and silent.

After Chu Mu had moved about a hundred meters in the dark forest with the Demon Tree Warrior and Zhan Ye, he released his Soul Sense around to stay alert. Chu Mu could clearly feel that something was moving around him.

Chu Mu’s Soul Sense was at the Soul Lord level, and under normal circumstances, he could search for life and soul pets within a two hundred meter radius. Soul pets that couldn’t hide their aura well would be detected by Chu Mu.

In this gloomy forest, Chu Mu’s Soul Sense was clearly affected, and along with the nature-closeness of the plant spirit beasts, it became difficult for Chu Mu to detect their presence. Feeling that something was nearby was completely due to Chu Mu’s long-term living on Prison Island and the vigilance he had developed there.

“Whoosh”

Suddenly, leaves on the ground ten meters in front of Chu Mu scattered wildly, and something like a giant python twisted its body and fiercely attacked Chu Mu!

“Demon Tree!”

Knowing he couldn’t dodge in time, Chu Mu immediately called for the Demon Tree Warrior to rescue him.

The Demon Tree Warrior reacted quickly, its arm rapidly extending and tightly wrapping around Chu Mu’s body. It pulled Chu Mu back twenty meters at great speed.

“Bang!!!!!!!!!”

The python-like creature’s body slammed heavily on Chu Mu’s previous location, instantly leaving a deep trace there, and broke all the withered branches on the trees on both sides!

“Pull it out!” Chu Mu immediately saw through this soul pet, noticing the python-like body was obviously a thick and enormous vine, which usually belonged to vine-type creatures from the Plant World. The range of the vine swinging was where this vine-type soul pet’s main body was located.

The Demon Tree Warrior loosened its grip on Chu Mu while its arm suddenly struck the ground. Its branch-like arm appeared rapidly in the position of the vine-type soul pet’s main body, resembling an earthworm movement.

“Puff”

The Demon Tree Warrior’s bark arm suddenly drilled out from fifty meters away underground, transforming into two extremely sharp wooden drills aiming at the main body of the vine-type soul pet!

The vine-type soul pet’s reaction was quick as well, swiftly retracting its vines, but the Demon Tree Warrior’s arm was accurately bound, blocking the sharp wooden drill’s piercing from below.

“It turns out to be a Crown Blood Vine.” While the Demon Tree Warrior was entangled with the vine-type soul pet, Chu Mu also determined the identity of the soul pet.

The Demon Tree Warrior possessed a certain level of beast attributes, making its arm strength even more powerful than ordinary soul pets from the Plant World. Vine-type soul pets mainly rely on their long-range piercing vine strikes as their principal method of attacking. If they face other Beast-type soul pets, they might directly bind their opponent and drag them alive. However, compared with soul pets like the Demon Tree Warrior that can root to the ground and possess strong arms, they are significantly weaker.

With a long pull of its arm, even though the transformed wooden drill arm was already entangled by the vine, the Demon Tree Warrior forcefully dragged the Crown Blood Vine out from between the gray trees.

Once it was dragged out, the main body of the Crown Blood Vine was revealed. It had a red tree trunk for a body, elongated and with numerous blood-like vines wrapped around it, resembling pythons.

“Hmm, it doesn’t seem to be a Crown Blood Vine?” Chu Mu looked at the slightly odd soul pet and showed a hint of surprise.

The body of a Crown Blood Vine is made up entirely of intertwined vines, with no tree trunk at all. However, this soul pet has the body of a Blood-sucking Wood Demon, making Chu Mu feel like it was a combination of a Crown Blood Vine and a Blood-sucking Wood Demon.

“Fox Elder, what is this thing?” Chu Mu had never seen such a bizarre creature, so he asked.

“I’m not quite sure what it is… According to my guess, it should be a hybrid of a Crown Blood Vine and a Blood-sucking Wood Demon. At least that’s what it looks like from its appearance… As for its strength, it’s probably around the Seventh Rank… Your Demon Tree Warrior might not be able to deal with it.” Fox Elder replied.

The Demon Tree Warrior’s combat power was equivalent to an ordinary Plant World commander level. Regardless if it’s a Crown Blood Vine or a Blood-sucking Wood Demon, both were Commander-level soul pets. If this hybrid soul pet reached the Seventh Rank, it would indeed be difficult for the Demon Tree Warrior to defeat it.

As he had just finished speaking, the hybrid soul pet of the Crown Blood Vine and Blood-sucking Wood Demon suddenly let out a shrill cry. As its body danced around, nearly ten python-like vines emerged, passing through fifty meters of gloomy trees and pounced towards the Demon Tree Warrior!

The Demon Tree Warrior quickly retracted its arm, grabbed two of the powerful vines, and tore them into two pieces. However, there were still seven or eight vines fiercely rushing towards the Demon Tree Warrior’s body.

“Snap!!! Snap!!! Snap!!!!”

Five vines with Seventh Level power struck the Demon Tree Warrior’s body, causing it to visibly shake. Deep marks appeared on its tree bark skin.

“Ooh!!!!!!!!!” The Demon Tree Warrior let out a pain-filled cry, showing its clearly angry face beneath its wrinkled tree-bark visage!

“Zhan Ye, Sky-Splitting Claw!”

Zhan Ye had already prepared for battle. As the Crown Blood Wood Demon was still not retracting its vines, Zhan Ye suddenly released the Dark Strike skill. Zhan Ye’s body slid out of the shadowy forest, creating a black, chasing trajectory, as its claw swiped through the main body of the Crown Blood Wood Demon!

Zhan Ye was an armed soul pet with a battle power surpassing that of a peak commander level. Although only Level 6, its combat power was stronger than many Level 7 Commanders. The power of this “Sky-Splitting Claw” reached Level 8, and after the claw blade swiped, a deep mark appeared on the Crown Blood Wood Demon’s body.

“The chances of such hybrids or mixed soul pets producing Blood-sucking Wood would be higher… Make sure you catch it and don’t let it escape.” Fox Elder reminded Chu Mu.

As soon as Fox Elder spoke, the Crown Blood Wood Demon seemed to clearly sense Zhan Ye’s strength and suddenly swung its seven or eight vines with great force, sending Zhan Ye flying. It then swiftly chose to retreat.

Since Fox Elder had spoken, Chu Mu naturally couldn’t let it escape. He immediately ordered both the Demon Tree Warrior and Zhan Ye to chase after it…

Although the Crown Blood Wood Demon’s escape speed was not fast, Chu Mu found out to his great annoyance that when he released his soul sense, there were actually quite a lot of Level 6 and Level 7 Blood-sucking Wood Demons guarding the area around the Crown Blood Wood Demon. This made killing the Crown Blood Wood Demon even more difficult for Chu Mu.

“Ghost Monarch, come out!” The soul contract spell slowly recited, and a group of black ghostly energy swirled around Chu Mu’s body. Gradually drifting to the side, it turned into a sinister ghostly Rock-type summoning pattern!
