"Great Sage!
Great Sage!
Where are you? "
Li Mo peered into the pitch-black hole, only to see nothing but endless darkness. Even Great Sage was nowhere to be seen.
Li Mo slid bit by bit along the thick vine at the entrance.
But to his surprise, this tree hole wasn't as simple as it looked from the outside. It was so deep that even after a quarter of an hour, his feet still hadn't touched the ground.
"This tree hole must be connected to the underground cave. It's a bottomless pit!"
Now he finally understood why Han Tianyu had marked this place as a dangerous area. Who knew what kind of terrifying Demonic Beasts lurked in this dark underground cave?
"Should I go up?
But Great Sage is still down there.
It'll be too much of a waste if I go alone.
Forget it, since I'm already here, I might as well go down and take a look. As long as I'm careful, there shouldn't be any danger. After all, Great Sage is here! "
After another mental struggle, Li Mo decided to go down and see what was going on.
He placed his safety in Great Sage's hands once more.
After another quarter of an hour, Li Mo's feet touched the ground and a musty smell assailed his nostrils.
"Cough … Great Sage!
Where are you? "
Li Mo was choking as he walked step by step in this pitch-black underground world.
But what puzzled him was that no matter how many times he called the Giant Vajra Ape's name, there was no response.
"Did it run inside?"
Looking at the darkness before him, Li Mo's heart was filled with dread.
He didn't have a torch or any other lighting tools on him, so it was hard for him to move forward.
While Li Mo was in a dilemma, a speck of light appeared in front of him. In the pitch-black darkness, it was especially dazzling.
Then, a familiar voice was heard.
"Wu …"
The Great Sage held the glowing stone in his hand and ran over to where he was!
"Where did you run off to?
What's this glowing stone? "
"Wu …"
Great Sage ignored Li Mo's grumbles and dragged him inside.
With the stone's light, Li Mo could see where they were.
This was an underground cave. The ground was covered with dried leaves that had fallen from the tree over the years. On both sides of the cave were walls made of mud and gravel.
Li Mo didn't find any signs of human activity, so it must be natural.
The deeper they went, the more spacious the cave became. Moreover, the walls around them also sporadically glowed like the one in the Great Sage's hand.
Li Mo took a piece and studied it for a long time.
Apart from the fact that the stone could emit light, he did not see any other clues, nor did he feel the existence of any energy.
After walking for a while, they finally reached the bottom of the cave.
This place was abnormally spacious. The surrounding walls were filled with glowing stones, illuminating the dark underground cave as if it was daytime!
"My God!
What's that? "
Li Mo saw a tree as tall as a person growing in the middle of the cave. What baffled him was that this tree was flourishing without any sunlight and even emitted a faint blue glow.
Wu wu wu …
Great Sage let out excited cries and dragged Li Mo towards the tree. It seemed he was very interested in it.
However, when they were just ten meters away from the small tree, the ground suddenly trembled slightly.
Thick vines burst out of the ground like giant pythons and coiled towards them!
"F * ck!
What is that? "
Li Mo was shocked. He had only heard of demon beasts in animal form.
This was the first time he saw a sentient plant!
Wu wu …
And Great Sage seemed to know of its existence, dodging left and right to avoid the vines.
Li Mo didn't let his guard down and waved the Dragonscale Sword.
Swish swish swish …
Golden light flashed and the vines were cut in half.
They writhed a few times on the ground before disappearing into a puddle of green liquid.
But the vines didn't lessen because of Li Mo's attacks. In fact, more of them came out of the ground.
They formed a barrier in front of the tree, as if to prevent Li Mo and Great Sage from getting close.
But the more it was like this, the more Li Mo believed the tree was out of the ordinary.
All of a sudden, his curiosity was piqued, and he was determined to see what was going on.
"Cleave!"
Li Mo snorted and slashed at the thickest vine.
Swish swish swish …
The Dragonscale Sword flew up and down and countless sword shadows sliced through the vines.
However, the vines seemed to be endless as they continued to break out of the ground!
"What the hell is this? At this rate, even if we don't get entangled, we'll die of exhaustion!"
Li Mo's forehead was covered in sweat, while Great Sage wasn't having it easy either.
Using its sharp fangs and arms to tear, they weren't in any immediate danger.
However, in the face of more and more vines, who knew what the outcome would be?
"No, I have to find the root of the vines!
Cleave … "
Boom …
Li Mo shouted and floated in the air. A huge golden crescent struck the ground.
The sound of the explosion rang out, and the soil splashed up to a height of ten meters. The vines also turned into thick green liquid in the explosion.
But in just a few breaths, new vines crawled out from the ground!
"Cleave …"
Li Mo was waiting for this chance. He found the spot where the vines came out and began to use his skill.
This time, he released two skills in a row, and his body's energy was depleted by half.
Boom …
With a huge explosion, the root of the vines appeared in Li Mo's sight.
Li Mo blasted a ten meter deep hole in the ground. Inside it was a green thing as tall as a man, beating rhythmically like a human's heart.
Every time it jumped, countless vines would grow out from it!
"F * ck!
What the hell is so disgusting? "
Li Mo felt a chill run down his spine, while Great Sage was ecstatic to see it.
Completely ignoring the vines, he shuttled through the gaps between the vines and arrived in front of that thing in the blink of an eye.
"Be careful, Great Sage!"
Li Mo panicked, afraid something bad would happen to it.
It was the king of Misty Forest, but that was only in the demon world.
There was no way the plants would buy it.
Without a second word, Li Mo used Piercing Space to chase, ignoring his energy consumption!
Great Sage saw Li Mo and pointed at the throbbing heart, then took a bite.
Pfft.
The Great Sage's fangs tore off a chunk of the creature's flesh, and a thick green liquid gushed out of its body.
Great Sage sucked it without hesitation, making Li Mo retch.
But this green liquid didn't have a strange smell, and instead had a faint fragrance.
When it broke, the vines stopped growing.
They withered and disappeared.
With the danger over, Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the Great Sage's stomach seemed to be as bottomless as the cave, and he sucked up all of the liquid inside.
However, it didn't seem to have had enough. In the end, it even wanted to eat that thing's skin.
In the end, Li Mo stopped him and pulled him into the hole.
But the glowing tree was nowhere to be seen!
"No way!
Could it be that the tree had become a spirit?
Did it grow legs and run? "
