Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 222 Strange Movement, The Unexpected Appearance of a Plant-Type Demon

At this moment, Jiang Yu walked over to Lu Yilin and reminded him, "Don't cause trouble."

"He will act when the time is right."

"Sigh," he sighed, looking at Lu Yilin's expression.

Nan Jue, Ai Jiangtu, and others did not side with him because of his "righteous and outspokenness".

He had no choice but to accept it.

After two stops, their group arrived in Peru.

The Peruvian wilderness exudes a primitive, isolated atmosphere.

The air was filled with the scent of damp earth and exotic vegetation. In the distance, the boundless, dark green outline of the Amazon rainforest, the world's largest demon empire, resembled a lurking prehistoric beast, radiating a chilling aura.

The Nationalist government team is currently traveling along a winding path through a rugged canyon.

On both sides are towering cliffs that reach into the clouds, with jagged rocks.

"Everyone, stay alert!" Ai Jiangtu's deep voice echoed through the canyon, carrying his usual composure. "The terrain here is complex, so we must not let our guard down."

“The local hunter guides just said that this section of the road is relatively safe, with only occasional rock-type goblins appearing, but we can’t believe them completely.”

"Understood, Captain." The others responded, each tensing up a bit.

Just as the team was about to pass through the narrowest pass in the canyon, something unexpected happened!
"Om-!"

A low, dense buzzing sound filled the air, as if countless vines were writhing wildly!

Immediately afterwards, the previously silent cliff walls, covered with thick moss and strange ferns, suddenly "came to life"!

"Watch out!" Nan Jue's stern shout rang out immediately.

Countless thick, eerily colored vines shot out like giant pythons emerging from their caves, accompanied by the sound of tearing through the air, from the cracks in the rock walls, the crevices in the rocks, and even from the seemingly solid soil!

Some of them are emerald green, shimmering with a jade-like luster; some are dark purple like blood, covered with sharp barbs; and some are a strange grayish-brown, with a cracked surface like old tree bark, yet containing terrifying power!

These vines were not haphazard; they intertwined into a massive, all-encompassing net that instantly blocked out all passages in the canyon, trapping the entire Nationalist team inside!
"It's a plant-type demon!" Jiang Yu's expression changed drastically. His contracted beast, Night Rakshasa, instantly appeared, emitting a sharp screech and warily watching its surroundings.

"Damn it! Weren't they saying there were only stone monsters? How come so many weird things are popping up!" Guan Yu roared.

Now that at least one of their cultivation levels has reached the high stage, they will begin their operation immediately.
Several vines snapped in two, splattering dark green sap.

However, more vines bravely filled the gaps, and the broken parts were slowly regenerating!

Immediately following the surge of vines, three enormous and twisted figures slowly broke free from the "embrace" of the cliff and landed in the center of the canyon, blocking the way.

They come in various shapes and sizes, but without exception, they all exude the terrifying pressure of a ruler-level demon!
One of them resembles a giant, twisted carnivorous flower king. Its thick root system is deeply embedded in the ground, and its main body is a huge flower bud with a diameter of over five meters.

The demon on the right resembles a giant formed from countless intertwined, resilient vines. It stands over eight meters tall, has no defined head, and only two "eyes" burning with eerie green soul flames are condensed above its torso.

Its arms are two incredibly thick vines covered with tumor-like protrusions. Each swing of the vines produces a dull whistling sound, and when they hit the ground, they send shards of stone flying.

The most peculiar of the demons is the one in the center, resembling a giant, constantly wriggling mass of fungi. Its main body is a dark purple fleshy growth that swells and contracts, covered in wrinkles and slime, with countless enormous mushroom caps growing on it, emitting hallucinogenic spores.

“Three commanders!” Ai Jiangtu’s pupils shrank sharply, but he remained calm.

The war broke out instantly!

Mu Ningxue's face was as cold as ice, and she instantly activated the high-level ice magic "Frozen Coffin"!
Extreme cold air spread wildly from her center, and countless sharp ice shards condensed in the air, shooting towards the carnivorous flower king commander on the left like a rainstorm!
The enormous flower bud attempted to spew venom, but was frozen in mid-air. The sharp edges of its petals were covered with thick frost, and its movements became noticeably slower.

The ice crystal domain clashed violently with the poisonous mist domain of the carnivorous flower king, emitting a hissing sound as they melted away.

Nan Jue, in the center of the command, focused his mental energy and delivered clear instructions in a calm voice amidst the chaos of the battlefield.

"Jiang Shaoxu! Use Mind Blast to disrupt the mental domain of that mushroom monster in the middle! Jiang Yu, Night Rakshasa, coordinate to cut its mycelium! Zhao Manyan, use defensive magic to withstand the pressure from the vine net above!..."

Ai Jiangtu took the lead, using the spatial magic "Instantaneous Movement" in conjunction with the powerful "Spatial Rhythm - Crack" to continuously tear apart the vine net.

Just then, a sudden change occurred.

The mushroom leader, which was releasing hallucinogenic spores in the center, suddenly swelled violently from its huge tumor, and its eerie green soul fire locked onto a figure in the crowd—Mu Nujiao!

Immediately afterwards, the carnivorous flower king on the left and the vine giant on the right let out even more ferocious roars almost simultaneously.

Their target shifted instantly, driven by an almost insane greed. They abandoned their original opponent and rushed straight for Mu Nujiao!
"Mu Nujiao, be careful!"

"What's going on?!" Jiang Shaoxu was also stunned. Her mental attack was much less effective against the commander who was in a frenzied state at the moment.

Everyone's hearts mentioned their throats!
Three commander-level demons are targeting the same person at the same time.

Amidst the chaos, Lu Yilin witnessed this scene, a twisted sense of pleasure even flashing in his eyes—serves you right for pretending to be high and mighty, for not putting in any effort! Now let's see how you die!
At the critical moment!
However, Mu Nujiao, who was locked onto by three terrifying killing intents, did not show the panic that everyone expected.

She took a deep breath, and the winged magical artifact behind her stirred slightly.

Her figure blurred instantly, and she was out of the opponent's attack range in a flash.

At the same time, she waved her hands, and a surge of powerful plant-based magic erupted forth!

"Tree Seed Crystal - Wild Growth!"

Rumble!
The ground shook violently around her!

Countless thick, thorny magic vines, like sleeping dragons awakening, burst forth from the earth!

The carnivorous flower king was tightly bound to its huge flower stem by several demonic vines, twisting and struggling wildly, its serrated petals cutting the vines, sap splattering everywhere.

The vine giant was tripped up by the wildly growing demonic vines. Its huge vine fists slammed into the barrier formed by the demonic vines, producing a dull thud, and it was unable to advance an inch for a moment.

Meanwhile, the mushroom leader in the center, which releases spores, is given special attention by Mu Nujiao.

Countless parasitic seeds were precisely projected onto its fleshy tumor by the demonic vine, quickly taking root and sprouting, frantically draining its life force, causing it to emit painful screams.

Mu Nujiao, alone, with her powerful crowd control abilities as a high-level plant mage, managed to withstand the frenzied attack of three commander-level demons!
