Chapter 1319: Chapter 1321: The Seed of Devil Vine Chapter 1319: Chapter 1321: The Seed of Devil Vine Song Jian activated his Soul Wander skill, his figure turning semi-transparent as he swiftly navigated through the mining tunnel. Along the way, he encountered a number of Goblin Miners and Abyssal Human Guardians, but because his figure was semi-transparent and not obvious in the dimly lit tunnel, no one was able to detect him.
However, the duration of Soul Wander was only nine seconds, and even with the duration enhancement from his equipment and other skills, it lasted less than twelve seconds. Such a short time was not enough for Song Jian to escape from the mining tunnel.
Put, put, put~
Sharp tendrils, like spears, easily pierced through the bodies of the Goblin Miners, skewering them together like candied hawthorns. Even those powerful Abyssal Human Guardians had no ability to fight back against the Legendary Realm Abyssal Magic Vine, being slammed, coughing up blood, and sent flying one after another.
As Song Jian ran, his figure gradually became visible during the process. It seemed the Abyssal Magic Vine had already locked onto his scent. Even when Song Jian entered a soul state, the vine didn't lose its target, chasing him relentlessly from behind.
Boom, boom, boom~
With each dodge, the thick tendrils of the Devil Vine viciously slammed into the walls of the mining tunnel, creating large holes and fissures that began to spread throughout the tunnel. Before long, there was a collapse inside the mining tunnel.
The collapse of the mining tunnel had little effect on the Devil Vine. After all, the hard rock walls were as brittle as tofu before the vine, causing it no hindrance at all. However, it was a catastrophic disaster for the Goblin Miners and Abyssal Human Guardians in the tunnel.
Even those who hid in other mining pits and were not attacked by the Abyssal Magic Vine were buried by the collapsing rocks. Most of the Goblins and Abyssal Humans were crushed to death, and only a small number, by luck, avoided the initial collapse. But with their strength, they had no way to escape from the mining tunnel on their own and could only wait for rescue in the cramped area.
However, given the current enraged state of the Abyssal Magic Vine, it was uncertain if anyone would dare to come here to rescue them.
Song Jian was extremely fast. Behind him, two sets of wings had appeared. The effect of the Chaotic Heavenly Wings was not much stronger than a flying sword in terms of long-distance acceleration and sustained flight, but they were superior in close-range dodging and short-distance sprinting. It was precisely by relying on the Chaotic Heavenly Wings that Song Jian managed to stay just ahead of the Abyssal Magic Vine's pursuit.
“Intruder, there's an intruder in the tunnel, it's that Divine Favoured One!” An Abyssal Human Guardian spotted Song Jian and bellowed loudly, attempting to stop him, but was directly sent flying by a strike from Song Jian's Sky-breaking Sword, and his body crashed hard against the rock wall.
Before he could steady himself, he felt as if he had been hit by a train, a piercing pain in his chest, and then darkness fell before his eyes – he knew no more. His body hung from a thick vine, speeding through the mining tunnel.
In his bid to escape, Song Jian could no longer concern himself with hiding his figure. Very soon, the news of his appearance in the tunnel reached the Abyssal Humans. However, those Guardians at the entrance of the tunnel, even though they knew Song Jian was inside, didn't dare to enter and attempt to capture or kill him.
At that moment, the Guardians at the entrance of the tunnel were staring dumbfounded at the mountain top, their faces showing terror at the sight of the Abyssal Magic Vine, which resembled a tentacle monster.
“Run!” A shrill scream filled the air, triggering a panic. All the Abyssal Humans scrambled down the mountain in disarray, while an overwhelming number of Devil Vines flowed down the mountainside following the contour of the rocks. Every animal or beast they encountered was killed by the vines, which then slowly ensnared and devoured them.
At this moment, Song Jian saw the light ahead – the entrance to the tunnel was right before him. If he could just leave the tunnel, his chances of survival would greatly increase, and his spirits lifted.
Put, put, put~
Just then, Song Jian suddenly felt a sense of crisis from behind and heard sounds similar to gunfire. Before he could look back, he felt something slam into his back.
Song Jian's Vitality Points took a steep dive, and a sharp pain erupted from his back.
Does the Devil Vine also have long-range attack capabilities?” Song Jian was startled, but the attack from behind made Song Jian's speed increase even more, shooting out of the mine like a cannonball and escaping into the sky.
Just as Song Jian thought he had escaped to safety, a joyful expression barely emerging on his face, he saw the entire mountain covered with dark purple vines cascading from the peak. Countless tendrils, like tentacles brandishing claws, nearly obscured the sky above the entire mountain.
At this time, Song Jian was still within the enclosure of the vines, and it wouldn't take long before the vines emerging from the peak would spread to the foot of the mountain and the entrance of the mine.
“I must keep running!” Song Jian fiercely stamped his foot and bolted, not daring to fly into the sky. He could only weave through the forest, while the vines, in the moment after Song Jian escaped the mine, simultaneously changed direction, chasing after Song Jian.
“Damn it, it's locked onto my scent. Unless I escape this vine's enclosure, no matter where I hide, it will track me down…” Song Jian thought to himself.
With the might of the Abyssal Magic Vine at the summit of the Legendary Realm, even if these vines could spread for dozens of kilometers, Song Jian wouldn't find it strange. Short of escaping the range of the Abyssal Magic Vine's enclosure in a brief time was simply impossible.
With this in mind, Song Jian glanced at a distant and yet unfinished town of the Abyssal Human Clan and immediately changed direction, heading towards that town to escape.
To transfer trouble elsewhere, the Abyssal Human Clan still had three Legendary Realm experts after all. With their strength, even if they couldn't kill the Abyssal Magic Vine, they had the power to put up a fight when joined together, otherwise they wouldn't attempt to mine the vein knowing that an Abyssal Magic Vine was inside.
As Song Jian was pondering, he suddenly felt darkness before his eyes and looked up, only to see countless fist-sized black dots appearing in the sky. These points seemed to be spit out by the countless tendrils of the Abyssal Magic Vine.
“What, what is this…”
Swish swish swish swish~
These fist-sized black dots in the sky were plummeting towards the ground at high speed, with a sharp whistling sound filling the air.
Their landing spot was precisely where Song Jian was positioned, and they almost covered the entire area within a hundred meters around him.
In the blink of an eye, these black dots were very close to the ground, and only then did Song Jian see what they were.
“These, these things are all seeds of the Abyssal Magic Vine?” Song Jian exclaimed in surprise.
Just then, a seed of the Abyssal Magic Vine fell to the ground, instantly smashing a huge pit into the earth, and upon impact, the seed exploded right away, like a bomb. With a “boom,” the blast sent debris flying, and the surrounding trees were shattered by the explosion caused by this fist-sized seed, its force almost comparable to a missile.
Song Jian's complexion changed drastically, and without a second thought, he disappeared from his spot, entering the Shattered Divine Realm. Faced with such terrifying power and the number of seeds from the Abyssal Magic Vine overhead, Song Jian instantly knew he was outmatched and chose to evade.
Moments later, a string of explosions thundered through the forest, boiling and bellowing to the heavens, sending dust into the air, and almost flattening a vast expanse of woods.
