Chapter 68: Scarlet Vines! Mutation!

“Did the trigger kill it? The system sure knows how to steal the limelight.”

Mo Xiao carried the Four Symbols Heavy Sword and muttered to himself.

After a while, he frowned, because the fallen Elite Wood Demon Flower in front of him was still twitching.

Moreover, the system still hadn’t given him the kill prompt.

“What’s going on? Didn’t I kill it?” Mo Xiao looked at the Wooden Demon Flower in front of him, his brow slightly furrowing. “Its health bar was clearly reduced to zero...”

Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, the demonized Wooden Demon Flower in front of him convulsed twice, and in the next moment, its body instantly turned scarlet. At the same time, countless scarlet vines gushed out of its body, sweeping in all directions.

Looking at these familiar vines, Mo Xiao’s pupils suddenly trembled.

However, the scarlet vines in front of him had no life value at all.

Even if he attacked, he couldn’t stop their actions.

Countless scarlet vines shot out in all directions, piercing the ground of the plain like divine punishment.

The closest one coiled around the Wooden Demon Flower that was currently battling with Jiang He.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Seeing this sudden scene, Jiang He thought that Mo Xiao had done something.

But when she turned around, she found numerous eerie scarlet vines spanning the sky.

One of the vines was rapidly retracting.

As for the Wood Demon Flower caught on the vines, it directly turned into a red light, merging into the black bead at the center of the vine.

“You run first.”

Without waiting for Jiang He to react, the rainbow-like vine in the air rapidly retracted.

In just a few breaths, a huge red sphere appeared in front of them.

“What... what is this?” Jiang He looked at this bizarre red sphere and instinctively gulped. Although he couldn’t see its attributes, it gave him an extremely terrifying feeling.

Mo Xiao’s expression gradually turned cold as he said, “This is a very dangerous thing. You go, leave this to me.”

“No way!”

Hearing this, Jiang He refused without hesitation. “Last time, I didn’t go into the hidden space when you did! This time, 1 won’t leave first, no matter what!”

“You can’t handle this thing! Even 1 may not be its opponent! If you stay here, I can’t protect you! We both might end up dead here!”

Mo Xiao scolded, “Leave quickly!”

“But...”

“No buts! Go!”

“Roar!!!”

Just then, a deafening roar resounded instantly.

Soon after, a red shockwave erupted from the red sphere’s center.

“Shield Charge!”

Watching the red shockwave, Mo Xiao immediately activated a special skill.

Immediately, his figure appeared in front of Jiang He.

[-1,000]

[-1,000]

The next moment, two scarlet numbers flashed above Mo Xiao’s head.

Shield Charge was the evolved version of the basic skill of the Shield Warrior class that Jiang Shan had given to Mo Xiao.

Originally called ‘Guardian,’ it simply absorbed a portion of the damage for teammates.

However, after being rubbed twice, it underwent a qualitative change.

[Shield Charge: Instantly appear in front of a teammate and take all the damage for them! All damage received is reduced by 50%!]

“It’s this kind of thing again... dealing 2,000 damage.” Mo Xiao said gravely, “Jiang He, you should run now. Run as fast as you can. Once we start fighting, I won’t be able to take care of you.”

As Mo Xiao finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared in the red sphere.

Then, a burst of red light shot into the sky.

Like a light screen, it formed a huge hemisphere, enclosing the two inside.

[Beep. You have entered the Demon Vines Barrier. You cannot leave until you kill the Guardian.]

Hearing this message, Mo Xiao’s face couldn’t have looked worse.

If he were alone, dealing with this creature would be a piece of cake.

But now, he had Jiang He with him...

That was a big problem!

If Jiang He died, not to mention Jiang Shan and the Jiang family, he wouldn’t forgive himself.

After all, Jiang He was his friend!

“Take care of yourself... Hide behind me and try to protect yourself, understand?”

Mo Xiao earnestly admonished.

“Yeah...” Jiang He trembled and nodded. Although she didn’t know what kind of monster was in front of her, the previous events had already filled her with extreme fear.

As the red sphere shattered, a giant hand made of vines slowly extended from it. n(O/vE1,u-S-B-//C-o(m

“All, a familiar aura. I finally escaped from that damn place!”

Accompanied by a hoarse voice, a massive monster appeared before the two.

“Oh? 1 sense a familiar aura from you. Have you been to that place?

“Let me kill you and absorb that guy’s power!!”
