Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 104 The Cloud Vine Recognizes Its Master

"Don't be surprised, true intelligence is capable of communicating directly through consciousness!"

Babata's voice revealed a hint of smugness.

"With my help, the demon Babata, you can throw away that auxiliary quantum computer of yours. That thing is nothing but a pile of electronic junk in front of me. I not only have the same functions as it, but they are also a thousand times, ten thousand times more powerful!"

"Furthermore, you don't need that bulky helmet to enter the virtual space; I can let you in directly. If you want to find me, you only need to connect your mental energy to the crystal core on the wristband, and you can talk to me directly."

Upon hearing Babata's words, Jiang Lan immediately released a wisp of mental energy, which seeped into the crystal core on his wrist.

The moment his mental energy entered the crystal core, he 'saw' Babata sitting on a huge throne in a palace.

Intelligent life is intelligent life; this function is indeed powerful.

According to Babata, as long as he is by his side, he can directly replace all the electronic devices he needs.

Even the virtual space can be entered directly.

"Tsk... Amazing."

Jiang Lan was aware of Babata's magical properties.

But what he knew before was only information he obtained from novels, and it was completely different from what actually happened in front of him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan also felt a little excited.

At this moment, he was already eager to leave Earth and explore the universe.

The universe is vast, and there are certainly countless unknowns waiting for him to explore.

"Of course." Babata's smug expression didn't diminish at all as he continued with a smile, "It's just a pity that Earth is just an indigenous planet. Your consciousness is unregistered in the 'Virtual Universe Network' and cannot connect. You need to go to a place with a network point to open an account before you can connect to the Virtual Universe Network."

The longing in Jiang Lan's eyes intensified.

The Virtual Universe Network, despite its name, is actually a vast virtual world that encompasses the entire universe.

Compared to the so-called network on Earth, the virtual universe is simply not even in the same dimension.

"Alright, let's go. The Moyun Vine is right next to us. Take the Moyun Vine with us, and then we can leave."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan looked to the side.

Less than twenty meters away from him, there was a green, gourd-vine-like creature.

That's the Moyun Vine.

Jiang Lan stepped forward and carefully placed the gourd-like young cloud vine into her backpack.

Space rings cannot contain living beings.

After doing all this, Jiang Lan looked up and then suddenly rose into the air.

"Boom boom boom!"

The boulders shattered one after another, and Jiang Lan's figure rose rapidly.

……

Half a minute later, next to a tree on Kirishima Island.

The originally soft ground suddenly bulged up rapidly, then broke open, sending dirt flying everywhere.

Jiang Lan's figure emerged from the ground.

He first stood still and looked around.

Suddenly, he saw a green plant that looked like a gourd vine.

However, this plant is much, much larger than the Cloud Vine that Jiang Lan obtained underground before.

Eight thick vines stretched high, exuding an aura that warned strangers to stay away.

Judging from the looks of it, there must be at least a lord-level one.

Jiang Lan connected a wisp of his mental energy to the crystal core of the wristband and said to Babata:

"That one, is it also a Moyun Vine?"

"Yes, I also released that Cloud-Piercing Vine. It was originally intended to lure powerful individuals from Earth, but now that I've found you, the Cloud-Piercing Vine is useless," Babata continued.

"The most crucial aspect of the Moyun Vine is its initial cultivation, which determines its future potential. This particular Moyun Vine was simply cultivated using Wood Crystals. If I'm lucky, it might reach the cosmic level, but normally, it'll only reach the Heng Star level at most, which is nothing compared to the one you have."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan not only showed no disdain, but her eyes lit up.

"In that case, may I tame this Cloud-Piercing Vine?"

"Of course you can, but the potential of that Cloud Vine is limited, and its uses are also limited. If you want it, just go ahead and try to subdue it. Right now, that Cloud Vine is only at the seventh level of the Apprentice rank, so it's not a threat to you at all."

"Okay!"

Jiang Lan grinned and rushed directly towards the Cloud-Piercing Vine.

He doesn't need it himself, but he can give it to others.

Yao Rao doesn't have a decent self-defense item yet, and this Cloud Vine is just right.

As for limited talent, that doesn't matter at all.

By the time Mo Yun Teng reaches the Heng Xing level, he might have grown to a certain extent. Then we can help Yao Rao find a suitable one.

Apprentice level seven is equivalent to a junior lord.

This level of strength is far too weak for Jiang Lan.

With absolutely no room for defense, the Cloud Vine was directly subdued by Jiang Lan and shrunk to the size of an ordinary gourd vine.

Just as Jiang Lan was about to put the Moyun Vine into her backpack, Babata's voice rang in her mind again.

"By the way, you should quickly acknowledge that cloud vine as your own first."

"Okay, how do we identify it?"

Jiang Lan put the newly subdued Moyun Vine into her backpack and took out the one she had just obtained underground.

Babata's voice rang out again.

"Slit your wrist. Once the Moyun Vine has absorbed enough blood, it will automatically recognize you as its master."

Jiang Lan's lips twitched.

He said it quite casually.

However, he didn't mince words. He took out a dagger from his backpack and slashed his wrist.

He used a full 70% of his strength to successfully break through the steel armor's defenses and cut a gash in his wrist.

"Pfft!"

Fresh blood gushed out from the wound on Jiang Lan's wrist.

The cloud-piercing vine seemed to possess its own consciousness, and it directly approached Jiang Lan's wrist.

The blood flowing from the wound gathered into a thin line, which then seeped into the emerald green vines of the Moyun Vine.

However, within seconds, Jiang Lan's wrist healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In no time, his wrist was completely healed, without even a trace of a mark.

Jiang Lan then remembered that he had just taken the Ten Thousand Year Willow Heart, which had enhanced the activity of his cells.

His lips twitched again.

I'm done for, but I still have to suffer all that again.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Lan had to pull out the dagger again and stab her wrist hard.

The blood continued to flow, being absorbed by the cloud-patterned vine.

"call out!"

Just then, a blood-red, grape-like fruit suddenly appeared and landed directly on the young Moyun Vine.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

Strands of blood-red lightning began to crackle across the surface of the cloud-piercing vine.

The 'Moyun Vine' also changed from its original emerald green to dark red.
