In front of the six of them, there was a large number of vine-like plants. Countless vines appeared on their main bodies and intertwined with each other. Fang Chen and the others had tested them and found that these vines would attack people on their own accord.
Once a cultivator approached, the countless vines would launch a fierce attack.
"What kind of vines are these?" whispered Sun Qiwen.
"These vines are even harder to deal with than the Heavenly Vine. I'd rather encounter a demonic beast than these damn vines," said Qing Jingtong.
He Jingwei's face was also filled with a bitter smile. Five days had already passed. There were only two more days until the exam ended. They couldn't waste any more time. They had to think of a solution.
"Xiao Fang, do you have a solution?" asked He Jingwei.
Xiao Fang's eyes flickered as he stared at the vines. "All vines have weak points. Let's look carefully."
While Xiao Fang and the others were looking for the vines' weak points, Fang Chen slowly approached the vines. He urged his black flame to see if it would work.
However, Fang Chen was disappointed. These vines didn't fear the black flame at all. As Fang Chen approached, the vines crazily attacked Fang Chen.
"What should we do?" Fang Chen was also very anxious.
They had already reached this point. If they couldn't smoothly pass through this vine forest, then they would miss the opportunity to enter the Five Elements Academy.
"There must be a way," said Xiao Fang.
For a moment, the six of them sank into contemplation.
At this moment, the Little Mouse noiselessly came out of the special spatial ring.
Then the Little Mouse jumped onto the vines' main body. Immediately, countless vines began to attack the Little Mouse. However, the Little Mouse was so fast that the vines were unable to hit it.
Seeing this, the eyes of Xiao Fang and the others brightened.
It was once again Fang Chen's spirit pet. Could it have a solution?
Fang Chen knew what the Little Mouse was doing. It was helping the six of them attract the vines' attacks so that they could pass through the vine forest.
"Let's go."
Fang Chen shouted in a low voice, and the six of them instantly entered the rattan forest. Because the Little Mouse attracted the vitality of the rattan vines, the six of them smoothly entered the center of the rattan forest, and then rushed to the other side.
However, just as they were about to step out of the vine forest, a vine-like plant filled with a dark aura suddenly shot out countless vines and attacked Fang Chen's group of six.
"What happened?"
The six of them were shocked and looked at the dark vine.
"Could it be a mutated vine?" Xiao Fang's gaze was grave as he used all his strength to block the vine's attacks.
Everyone's heart sank when they heard the words' mutated vine '.
Once vines mutated, they would become incomparably bloodthirsty. Their attacks would become even wilder and more ferocious than ordinary vines.
Bang bang bang
For a moment, the six of them were attacked by the dark vine and were unable to advance.
When the Little Mouse saw this, its eyes flickered, indicating that it was powerless. It could attract the attacks of the vines, but it no longer had the strength to help Fang Chen's group fight against the dark vine.
Fang Chen cut down an attacking vine with his sword. He secretly thought that if the Banxianshu was here, it might have a solution.
Unfortunately, the Banxianshu had stayed in the Bloody Battle Space, wanting to transform into an Immortal Tree in one fell swoop.
When they were heading to the Bloody Battle Mountain, Fang Chen had tried to contact the Banxianshu. The latter had sent back a message saying that it had just finished devouring the blood-colored Devil Vine and needed time to break through to the Immortal Tree Realm. Moreover, the Bloody Battle Space was a very special place that was suitable for it to break through.
Fang Chen did not say anything about this.
Puchi
The Hidden Star Sword quickly revolved, and the Flowing Water Sword was pushed to its peak. He suddenly cut down the surrounding vines.
However, Fang Chen immediately noticed that an even larger number of vines had wrapped around his body, making him unable to move.
"Damnit!"
At the same time, these vines also wrapped around the other five, causing their expressions to change.
"Are we going to fail here?" He Jingwei was a bit unwilling. They were only a step away from success, but they were blocked by the dark vine.
"We can't give up!" roared Qing Jingtong.
These vines were very tough. Once they wrapped around a human cultivator, they would become more and more tense, making it so that the human cultivator would be unable to move.
Clearly, Fang Chen did not want to give up. He constantly used his fire concept. Black flames burned the vines, but he found that the black flames were useless against the vines. He then used his water concept.
In the end, the water concept was also useless against the vines.
Fang Chen then used his sword concept, but it was also useless against the vines.
In the end, Fang Chen used his ice concept. He did not have any hope for the ice concept.
After all, among the several concepts, the ice concept's progress was the slowest. Until now, he had only reached the first minor realm.
Hiss Hiss Hiss
The Concept of Ice was unleashed, and countless icy auras instantly covered the rattan. Following that, the rattan actually started to freeze.
The next scene shocked Fang Chen.
"This …"
When the vines froze, the vines wrapped around his body seemed to be frightened, and they actually slowly retreated.
Fang Chen's ice concept was fiercely attacking the surrounding vines. For a moment, none of the vines approached Fang Chen. This made Fang Chen extremely shocked.
Soon, Fang Chen found that the vines were afraid of the ice concept.
"Use the ice concept."
Fang Chen shouted. Immediately, Xiao Fang and the others were stunned. Then, Xiao Fang and He Jingwei used their ice concept.
Xiao Fang and He Jingwei's ice concept was much stronger than Fang Chen's. It had already reached the second minor realm, and its power was very strong.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Fang and He Jingwei were free.
"Hahaha, the weakness of these vines is actually the icy aura." He Jingwei grinned and laughed.
"If it wasn't for Fang Chen, we wouldn't have found it." Xiao Fang was also very happy.
After finding the weakness of the vines, they could walk out of the vine forest smoothly.
"Hurry up and save us." Qing Jingtong saw the situation and shouted anxiously.
Qing Jingtong, Luo Zhongtian, and Sun Qiwen had not comprehended the ice concept, so they could not get rid of the vines. They could only ask Xiao Fang and the other two for help.
Hearing this, the three of them nodded. They came to the front of the three people who were entangled and used their ice concept to force the vines back.
"The three of you are in the middle." Xiao Fang said in a low voice.
With the three warriors with ice concept around, the group of six moved forward carefully.
When they passed by the dark vines, the latter did not attack. Obviously, it had noticed the icy aura in the air.
In the end, the six of them left the vine forest calmly. Seeing this scene, the Little Mouse's figure flashed and directly entered the vine forest, jumping onto Fang Chen's shoulder.
The six of them stood outside the vine forest, looking at each other with smiles on their faces.
"Fang Chen, thanks to you." Qing Jingtong looked at Fang Chen and said.
If it wasn't for Fang Chen's spirit pet attracting the other vines' attacks, they would not have been able to walk to the dark vines so easily.
"Yeah, this time it was really scary but not dangerous. Luckily, the mutated vines are afraid of the ice concept. If it was any other concept that we don't have, we would probably be finished." Sun Qiwen said.
Luo Zhongtian did not say anything, but his eyes showed a trace of a smile.
He was also very happy to be able to leave the vine forest.
He Jingwei and Xiao Fang also looked at Fang Chen with burning eyes. They were very envious of Fang Chen's spirit pet.
After chatting for a while, the six of them continued forward.
At this time, in an open space in the mountain range, Xu Yang and Zhang Qiang, the two warriors of the Five Elements Academy, had been waiting for Fang Chen and the others to arrive.
"Why haven't the six of them arrived yet?" Xu Yang suddenly said.
"They're most likely going to fail the newcomer exam." Zhang Qiang grinned.
"If they can't even reach us, then it's even better if they fail. Our Five Elements Academy does not want weaklings." Xu Yang's lips curled up as he arrogantly said.
"There are still two days. Let's wait." Zhang Qiang also knew that Xu Yang did not want to waste time here, but there was no other way. This was a mission.
Within the Five Elements Academy, the students had to obey the orders of the Five Elements Academy's higher-ups. This was the most basic rule.
Once someone disobeyed, the result would be very tragic.
"I hope they won't disappoint us." Xu Yang stared at the mountain range and whispered.
