Chapter 288

The black whip shadow lashed towards Robert with incomparable speed. Robert's eyes immediately shot out 2 white rays, instantly hitting the black whip shadow.

Those two rays were Freezing Rays, and they immediately froze the items that were attacking them.

However, the ice only lasted for a moment before it disintegrated. It did not launch a second attack and quickly retreated. Gu Ding could only vaguely see that the object looked like a black tentacle.

Robert's momentary freeze on the object was finally seen by many demigods. It turned out that Gu Ding was not just trying to scare them. There was really something attacking them.

Gu Ding returned to Lilliath and the others in a flash and looked around vigilantly. He had thought that he could leave as soon as possible after rescuing Dockett. However, based on the current situation, he was afraid that they would not be able to leave anytime soon.

"What was that tentacle-like thing just now?" Lilliath could not help but ask.

"I don't know." Gu Ding shook his head. However, that thing's attack power was not weak. The impact just now was obviously not much weaker than Gu Ding's current strength.

"It's a Vampiric Vine's will projection. Although it's just a projection, it's still much stronger than the one you killed earlier." Neptune's answer was beyond Gu Ding's expectations.

"The one I killed already had the combat prowess of a Five-star Lesser Deity." Gu Ding was a little incredulous when he heard Neptune's words. "Could it be that this one is already a Middle Rank deity?"

"According to the strength of the will projection's energy fluctuations, yes." Neptune gave an affirmative answer. "Its energy fluctuations are no weaker than yours. You should be able to feel the impact just now. However, compared to the one you killed earlier, this one is just a will projection. There's no energy sphere in its roots to replenish its energy. "

"Tell me where it is!" Gu Ding immediately made a decision. He wanted to kill this Vampiric Vine's will projection.

"It's right under everyone's feet!" As soon as Neptune's voice fell, several black vines stretched out at the same time and quickly wrapped around more than twenty demigods, instantly crushing them to pieces.

Everyone was shocked to see this.

Several greenish-black flames shot out from Gu Ding's hands and instantly attached themselves to the vines.

An ear-piercing roar immediately came from the ground. The roar contained pain and anger. Several black vines as thick as buckets emerged from the ground without warning and rushed toward Gu Ding at the same time.

"I'm afraid you won't come!" Gu Ding grinned and spread his fingers. Five black chains extended from his fingers and quickly wrapped around the black vines. After touching the black vines, they seemed to have a life of their own and crawled toward the depths of the soil.

After touching the black vines, they seemed to have a life of their own as they crawled toward the depths of the soil. It just so happened that after the evolution of his previous ability, the Absolute Seal ability had also been refreshed. He had just used the latest Absolute Seal, so during the three days when the Absolute Seal was in effect, the Weakening Shackles could be used.

The Vampiric Vines that were bound by the Weakening Shackles were instantly reduced to one-tenth of their original strength.

Gu Ding's hands did not stop moving. After the Weakening Shackles were released, greenish-black flames gushed out and directly covered the black vines. After a while, the vines completely collapsed and turned into pure energy that was devoured by Gu Ding's flames.

Another shrill scream came from the ground. This time, the Vampiric Vines went all out. Hundreds of thick vines shot out continuously, and the tips of the vines turned into spiraling thorns and were covered in a layer of strange juice. The juice seemed to have a fireproof effect. Under the cover of the greenish-black flames, the vines did not collapse this time. Instead, they penetrated the flames and went straight toward Gu Ding.

Everyone had astounded expressions as they looked at the scene before them. Every single one of those hundreds of vines carried an extremely shocking impetus, and they were like enormous pythons that charged into the sky and revealed their sharp fangs. Most Demigods knew that even a single vine would be enough to kill them instantly under the attack of such vines, let alone a hundred of them at the same time.

However, Gu Ding did not panic at all. His figure quickly rose into the air, and beams of greenish-black energy shot out from all ten of his fingers, breaking the vines one by one.

Suddenly, a vine sped up and the sharp black thorns pierced through Gu Ding's body.

Everyone could not help but let out a cry of surprise when they saw what happened. Then, many people saw that the rattan had collapsed on its own after attacking Gu Ding.

Gu Ding was a little surprised by this result. He did not expect this body to have such a strange effect. It could directly devour and absorb attacks that could not break through his defense.

This Vampiric Vines was not weaker than Gu Ding, but after being bound by the Weakening Shackles, it was left with only one-tenth of its strength, causing its attack to be greatly weakened and was completely restrained by Gu Ding.

In less than a minute, the hundreds of vines that were chasing after it were completely destroyed by Gu Ding.

This exchange finally made the Vampiric Vine realize how powerful Gu Ding really was. It actually burrowed deep into the ground, trying to escape.

"Gu Ding, it's trying to escape!" Neptune quickly warned after noticing it.

"Trying to escape? Do you think it's that easy? "Gu Ding spread his fingers again, and the original five black chains appeared again. Everyone saw that one end of the chain was connected to Gu Ding's fingers, and the other end was already deep into the ground. Gu Ding's figure floated in the air, and he suddenly pulled with his right hand. The chain in his five fingers slowly retracted. The chain was straight, and it was obvious that something was pulling on the other end.

Gu Ding saw that the pulling speed was too slow, so he stretched out his left hand and grabbed the chain. Like a tug-of-war, he pulled hard.

"What is he doing?" Someone asked, puzzled.

"The other end of the chain should be the monster. He's trying to pull that thing out." Someone next to him made a guess.

His guess was right. Gu Ding really wanted to pull the Vampiric Vines out of the ground and get rid of it once and for all. If he allowed it to escape, there would be chaos on Dragon Cove in the future. Moreover, this Vampiric Vines was already quite strong. It could crush a demigod in an instant. If it was allowed to grow, even Kane's original body might not be a match for it. Moreover, the Vampiric Vines would instinctively attack all living things within its sphere of influence. If it was allowed to escape, it would be a huge threat to the civilians of Dragon Cove.

Under the effect of the Weakening Shackles, the Vampiric Vines' will projection was less than one-tenth of Gu Ding's strength. Soon, it was pulled to the ground amidst anxious and fearful howls.

It was a giant creature that was nearly ten thousand meters long. Its entire body was pitch-black in color. After being pulled up by Gu Ding, it twisted its body frantically, trying to burrow back into the ground. However, it was bound by the chain in Gu Ding's hand and could not escape.

After realizing that it could not escape, it once again launched a frenzied attack on Gu Ding. Its gigantic body directly lashed out at Gu Ding.

"Hmph!" Gu Ding snorted coldly. His legs were firmly planted on the ground, and he showed no intention of backing down. He swung his Steel Fist, which was imbued with greenish-black energy, without holding back and collided with the giant vine.

"Boom!" A deafening sound that sounded like the end of the world exploded in everyone's ears. The originally solid ground was like a turbulent sea, and huge waves started to form under Gu Ding's feet.

"Boom!" Another deafening sound was heard, but this time, it was the sound of a giant building collapsing. Along with this sound, the gigantic vine fell to the ground in disappointment.

Everyone was stunned by the scene that had just unfolded.

Everyone thought that Gu Ding was able to win because he was bound by the chain and restrained by the flames. However, they did not expect Gu Ding to be able to suppress the vine head-on with his strength. Moreover, it was a complete suppression.

Everyone saw that after the collision, Gu Ding did not seem to be affected at all. However, the giant vine was no longer wriggling. It was obvious that it had been severely injured by the blow.

In fact, things were not as they thought. Gu Ding's blow did not cause much damage to the Vampiric Vine. After all, it was so huge and its skin was not thin. It was just that the shock from the punch caused it to feel extremely dizzy, so it did not even have the strength to wriggle.

Seeing that the giant creature had finally calmed down, Gu Ding began to think about how to deal with it. He might not even be able to finish absorbing such a huge Vampiric Vine in a few hours.

Just then, Kane suddenly appeared not far away from Gu Ding in a Flash.

Biggie and the others looked at her warily.

"Gu Ding, let me have this Vampiric Vine's will projection." Kane's request surprised Gu Ding.

"I can let you have it, but what are you going to give me in exchange?" Gu Ding had just absorbed a lot of energy not long ago, and his strength would not have a breakthrough in the short term. Therefore, he was not in urgent need of the energy contained in this Vampiric Vine. It was not a bad choice to sell it.

"Wait!" Lilliath suddenly spoke. "Before we exchange, we have a condition! Otherwise, we won't let you have this Vampiric Vine! "

"What condition?" Kane raised her eyebrows. Few people dared to talk terms with her. However, the situation was stronger than the person. Gu Ding's combat effectiveness had completely surpassed her. Even if she appeared in person, she might not be able to suppress Gu Ding.

"The condition is simple. You have to lift the death warrant against us!" Lilliath said matter-of-factly.
