Chapter 24 Hell Difficulty
Nan Shan narrowed his eyes and retreated at a very fast speed to the edge of the ring.
He had never seen such a thing before! The thorny vines kept waving around, almost sealing off all the room for him to dodge.
Since there was no way to retreat, then let’s fight.
The Devouring sword couldnot be unsheathed. If he wanted to pull out the blade, he would need to feed it with a lot of blood.
Nan Shan waved his arm, and the Devouring sword in the scabbard was swung out like a fire stick!
The two came into contact, and a piercing buzzing sound instantly reverberated in the air.
This sound was extremely penetrating, and it had the power of a dragon’s roar. When it fell into the ears of the others, some of the disciples with low cultivation levels covered their ears in pain.
“This can’t be. Although the five elemental spiritual veins are rare, it’s impossible to cut the thorn vine without even pulling out the sword!”
“Tsk tsk, once this plant evolves into a mother tree, it will gain some intelligence. This kid is in trouble.”
In the midst of the continuous discussion, an unexpected scene appeared!
Nan Shan waved his sword, and the vine that came into contact with it instantly straightened. The hole left by the sharp tip wriggled wildly.
Such a scene made one’s scalp tingle.
However, the next second, the vine broke in the middle without any warning!
A large amount of dark red mucus flowed out, carrying a strong smell similar to blood.
“F*ck!”
Nan Shan cursed in his heart and kept moving.
He really didnot want to step on the tree sap that was as red as blood!
Just as countless disciples were exclaiming in shock, a change suddenly occurred!
The bramble vine had never suffered such a
huge loss before. After a brief moment of shock, all of its vines began to wriggle like crazy.
Then, they gathered into an airtight ball, tightly wrapping Nan Shan in it.
“This is bad! Hurry up and save him!”
“The bramble vine has gone crazy! He’s
wrapped inside, and will turn into a pool of pus
in less than an hour!”
“Hurry! Save my disciple with the five-element
spiritual heritage!”
Everyone was suddenly in a mess. Even those elders who pretended to be cool and calm could not hold it in any longer. One by one, they jumped and wanted to rush down!
However, they had obviously overlooked the most important point. The bramble vines were tough, and at this moment, they were even more determined to trap the culprit who had dared to cut off its branches. It was impossible to open it in a short time!
All kinds of lights exploded on the stage, but they were all useless. Nan Shan was still firmly wrapped in it.
Gradually, in the cracks of the branches, drops
of viscous dark red liquid seeped out and spread along the ring. It was a shocking sight!
“Junior Brother Nan!”
Jiang Congshuang, who was in the stands,
showed a rare look of anxiety. She leaped lightly and stepped in the air, ready to attack the thorn vine without hesitation.
The elder behind her caught her in the nick of time and casually placed a seal on her. “All of you step back, the crazy bramble vines are not something you can deal with. Listen to my order, all disciples step back a hundred miles to avoid being affected. The rest of the elders, please advise.”
Before the First Elder could finish his sentence,
the thorny vines that were wrapped in a ball suddenly exploded from the center!
The dark red sticky liquid splattered and
covered the heads and faces of the people who
were closer to the ring.
Even the elder who had moved a few dozen
meters forward was not spared, and even his white beard was dyed red.
As expected of a difficult level challenge. It’s so difficult to deal with.
Nan Shan’s figure stood among the wreckage
on the ground. The Devouring sword was on his shoulder, and his other hand was holding a small sapling about half a meter long.
The sapling looked thin, like a withered branch,
with only two leaves left at the top. Only the pure gold color of its body showed its extraordinary quality.
“Uh, Nan Shan, what’s wrong?”
Seeing the scene in front of him, Nan Shan,
who had just experienced a great battle, could not help but be stunned.
He had just been wrapped in the wizardry
barrier created by the brambles, which had almost cut off his perception of the outside
world.
Moreover, this tree was really worthy of being said to be incomparably tough. At first, it was very smooth to cut down the vines, but the more it cut, the more difficult it became.
In the end, when he waved the Devouring sword, it was as if he had fallen into a swamp.
It took a lot of strength to cut each vine. Fortunately, his eyes were sharp and he saw a faint sapling in the middle of the waving vines.
He risked being scraped and cut the sapling, so he could escape. Originally, he didnot want to take out the
sapling, but after he pulled it out, he saw it turn into a rich golden color.
This should be quite valuable, right? Moreover, the greatest harvest this time was
far from just this!
Perhaps it was because the bramble vines were different from ordinary plants, but the blood-like sap seemed to have the same effect
as fresh blood.
While the Devouring sword cut the vines, it was also watered by the tree sap. Perhaps it was an illusion? Nan Shan felt that
the sheath of the Devouring sword was a little loose. “F*ck, what kind of ruthless person is this?”
“I want to go home and tell my mother that I’ve actually seen someone dig out the mother tree of the bramble vine tree in my lifetime.”
“Is this the power of the five elemental spiritual veins?”
Different from the discussion just now, when
they saw the small sapling in Nan Shan’s hand,
both the disciples and the elders were stunned. “Ahem.”
The First Elder was the first to recover from his
shock. He coughed twice in an attempt to cover
up.
With a leap, he came to Nan Shan’s side. “Can you give me the mother tree of the
bramble vines first? It’s not easy to cultivate a bramble vine with intelligence, and there’s only one in the entire sect.
“Oh, sure.”
Nan Shan quickly realized that the golden-red
sapling in his hand was the mother tree.
Before handing it over, he stared at the First Elder for a long time, but unfortunately, the system did not pop up.
It was a loss. If the First Elder in front of him
could become an investment, he estimated that
this mother tree could be exchanged for many good things.
The First Elder’s expression was twisted with heartache, but he had to pretend that nothing had happened. He carefully put away the
mother tree, turned around, and put on a serious and sternlook.
“The first person to pass the difficult level assessment has appeared. The thorny vines have been damaged, so the difficult level
assessment will be postponed for three days. Those who have registered for the normal assessment can follow the substitute elder to the assessment venue.” After he finished speaking, he personally brought Nan Shan back to the stands. “First Elder, I have a question.” Nan Shan hesitated for a moment and
whispered.
“You can ask me anything.” The First Elder looked at Nan Shan with a kind expression. “Is there a possibility that I could try the hell
challenge?”
Nan Shan’s voice was not loud, but everyone’s attention was focused on the stands, so they
could hear him clearly.
