Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 67: Deep Swamp Ghost Vine
Soon, the two arrived at the target area.

Along the way, Gong Changlong also explained to Tang Wulin why he was brought here, because this was the area ruled by the Ten Thousand Demon Kings.

The Ten Thousand Demon King is ranked fifth among the ten fierce beasts. With a cultivation level of 530,000 years, he is the true king of plant-type soul beasts.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, it is generally much more difficult for plant-type soul beasts to grow than animals. After all, most plant-type soul beasts have to wait for a thousand years before they can have a certain self-preservation ability, while animal-type soul beasts have such ability at the tenth level.

But the King of Ten Thousand Demons is different. When it was growing up, it once controlled one-third of the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. Although it is now forced to move to a very dangerous place due to Emperor Tian's fear and has lost control of its territory, its reputation still remains, so that the plant-type soul beasts in these areas grow much more vigorously than those in other places.

Gong Changlong had brought Tang Wulin to this area. At this moment, he was constantly observing the plants around him, trying to determine the next direction.

While observing, he explained to Tang Wulin:

"Plants with life attributes are different from other plants. Their growth will have a significant impact on the surrounding environment. There are usually two situations. One is to absorb the vitality of surrounding plants to strengthen themselves, and the other is to emit vitality to allow surrounding plants and animals to protect themselves. In short, no matter which one it is, we just need to follow the direction of the abnormally growing plants to find them."

Tang Wulin nodded.

He could understand what Gong Changlong said. Possessing the Martial Spirit of Son of Nature, he had an extremely keen sense of vitality. He could clearly feel that as he and Gong Changlong continued to explore more deeply, the vitality around them was rapidly weakening. On the contrary, there was a faint strong vitality coming from the front.

When Tang Wulin and Gong Changlong arrived at their destination, what appeared before them was a swamp.

At first glance, this swamp seems boundless. There is no plant growing on it, and not even a single animal can move on it. It exudes a heavy air of death.

Gong Changlong gazed at the swamp and nodded thoughtfully.

"I see, so it's this, it's not surprising."

Without waiting for Tang Wulin to ask, he took the initiative to explain.

"If I'm not mistaken, the plant growing here should be the Deep Swamp Ghost Vine, a creature that lives in the swamp and grows by absorbing the vitality of nearby creatures."

As he spoke, a ball of fire rose in his hand and he threw it violently into the swamp.

"boom!"

The flames fell, and the swamp suddenly boiled. Countless hidden vines suddenly emerged from the swamp, looking terrifying with their fangs and claws.

Tang Wulin felt an extremely strong vitality from it. It was obvious that it was the culprit that caused no grass to grow nearby.

Gong Changlong nodded with satisfaction.

"Seven thousand years, which is basically right at your absorption limit. Not bad, not bad. I'll leave it to you to handle."

As he spoke, he jumped away, leaving Tang Wulin where he was.

Tang Wulin was dumbfounded.

"Dean?!"

Gong Changlong's voice came from afar.

"Don't worry, I just burned it, so its strength should be weakened. If you are in danger, I will help you, so fight bravely!"

"I……"

Tang Wulin was just about to say something when a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart. He quickly jumped high and avoided the attack of the deep swamp ghost vine.

A roar was heard, and the attack of the Deep Swamp Ghost Vine stirred up a huge cloud of dust. It was obvious that Gong Changlong's attack completely angered this powerful soul beast.

Vines shot out towards Tang Wulin one after another. With nowhere to gain support in the air, Tang Wulin had no choice but to use his Golden Dragon Claw to knock back all the vines that were attacking him. After falling to the ground again, Tang Wulin couldn't help but frown.

Something is wrong.

He clearly didn't feel any hardness from these vines, and the crushing property was successfully activated, but none of the branches he hit back were damaged.

You know, even if Xie Huanyue could withstand one of his Golden Dragon Claws, he would be seriously injured. These branches don’t seem to be as hard as those of an ordinary great soul master, but he was not hurt at all.

This is obviously an abnormal phenomenon, and there is definitely something fishy going on.

Tang Wulin shouted hurriedly.

"Dean, I'm asking for knowledge assistance. Even if you don't help me fight, it's always okay for you to just tell me its characteristics, right?"

He was not stupid enough to explore the truth of this unusual phenomenon by himself. With such a big shot next to him, it would be a waste not to ask.

Gong Changlong's voice came over.

"The Deep Swamp Ghost Vine has two characteristics, which help it make up for its shortcomings in attack and defense."

"One is Devour. It can use this ability to absorb the life force of the target creature and use it to attack."

"The other is damage distribution. It can distribute the damage evenly to all the vines, thereby reducing the damage caused by the attacked part. Therefore, if your attack power is not strong enough, you may not even be able to break its defense."

"Understood!"

Tang Wulin dodged the attack of the Deep Swamp Ghost Vine again, his eyes becoming fierce.

After listening to Gong Changlong's words, he had a certain understanding of this thing's fighting style.

Tang Wulin was not too afraid of its attack. The combat power of plant-type soul beasts was not that strong ten thousand years ago, and it also allocated a considerable part of its attack talent to devouring vitality.

It’s not that the talent of devouring vitality is not powerful, it’s just that it has little effect on Tang Wulin.

Moon had evaluated his vitality. According to him, Tang Wulin's vitality was now stronger than that of most hundred thousand year old soul beasts.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Tang Wulin stood there and let the deep swamp ghost vine suck him, it would not pose a threat to him.

As for the whip, judging from what Tang Wulin had just felt with his Golden Dragon Claw, its power was not too strong. It was of the kind that would cause some pain on the body but would hardly leave any wounds.

What is really difficult to deal with is its defense, or rather its defensive talent.

This swamp is so big that no one can tell exactly how many branches this deep swamp ghost vine has.

If there are thousands of branches, then Tang Wulin will be really helpless. Thousands of branches will cause damage, and it is impossible to kill it without the attack power of a Soul Emperor or above.

And it was obvious that Tang Wulin did not have the means of attack at this level.

Of course, when he is really helpless, Gong Changlong will definitely take action.

But if possible, Tang Wulin wanted to kill the prey himself.

Tang Wulin pursed his lips and began to run towards the center of the swamp.

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. Since Gong Changlong can guarantee his safety, he has to adopt a more risky fighting method.
