1044: Chapter 1037: A Fine Line Between Life and Death!
In just thirty seconds, the city gates were filled with holes as thick as fingers, from which blood-red tendrils crept out like agile snakes, constantly encroaching on Ye Chenfeng and his group as well as Kong Fei and his companions.
These overwhelmingly pervasive tendrils seed to suddenly co to life, especially their appearance which was enough to send chills down one’s spine.
The surface of the tendrils seed to be covered by a thin skin, beneath which a red liquid coursed, much like blood within a human body.
Ye Chenfeng’s eyebrows knotted tightly.
He sensed sothing terribly wrong with these tendrils and warned: “Mingxuan, be careful.
I have a feeling there’s sothing off about these blood-red tendrils.”
Shen Mingxuan nodded.
Seeing no way to retreat, he quickly added: “Chenfeng is right; these tendrils seem extrely dangerous and could very likely threaten our lives.”
As the tendrils closed in, mbers of the Heavenly Alliance—Kong Fei, Bao Yutao, and Bao Yuqiang—instinctively felt as if they were on the brink of death.
They no longer had the capacity to worry about Ye Chenfeng and others and imdiately amplified their Venerable Level Middle Stage Soul Force, preparing to face the upcoming danger.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Countless blood-red tendrils spread across the ground, emitting eerie sounds.
In about two minutes, these tendrils reached the front of Ye Chenfeng and the others.
Since they had ventured into the Land of Death, Ye Chenfeng’s Space Ring was equipped with ten extrely sharp Mountain-splitting Knives.
By activating his Soul Force, he promptly took out five of these knives, handing the remaining four to Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, Cheng Dahhu, and Xiao Liyuan, and said: “We should avoid touching these tendrils with our hands.”
Not far away, Kong Fei and the other two watched in perplexity as Ye Chenfeng suddenly produced five Mountain-splitting Knives.
Though they were deeply puzzled, they had no mood to clarify the matter under these circumstances.
When the countless blood-red tendrils finally reached them, Ye Chenfeng and the rest could truly see that these tendrils had extrely sharp spikes on their surfaces.
As the tendrils ca closer, these spikes slowly began to elongate.
The sky-filling tendrils suddenly swept toward Ye Chenfeng and his group.
With the sharp Mountain-splitting Knives in hand, Ye Chenfeng, Shen Mingxuan, and the others quickly severed the first wave of attacking tendrils.
anwhile, Kong Fei, Bao Yutao, and Bao Yuqiang, who were unard, attempted to pull the tendrils apart with their bare hands.
However, as the tendrils wrapped around their arms and they tried to exert force, the spikes on the tendrils fiercely punctured into their flesh.
The minor pain was negligible for warriors at the Venerable Level Middle Stage, but once the spikes entered their flesh, their arms instantly beca numb, rendering them unable to exert any strength.
Upon realizing this, their faces drastically changed.
They tried to use their Soul Force to break free from the tendrils, but seizing the opportunity, the tendrils tightly coiled around their bodies in an instant.
Very soon, Kong Fei and his companions were completely paralyzed, unable to muster any strength, their faces swiftly filled with despair.
On the other hand, because they held the sharp Mountain-splitting Knives, Ye Chenfeng and his group were not imdiately affected.
Using his peripheral vision, Ye Chenfeng witnessed the plight of Kong Fei and the others and imdiately deduced that the spikes on the blood-red tendrils were poisonous.
As the tendrils bound Kong Fei and the others, Ye Chenfeng also noticed that the tendrils were drawing blood from them.
Although the amount of blood drawn wasn’t substantial, if it continued for five to six hours, Kong Fei and his company would surely die from exsanguination.
After discovering this, Ye Chenfeng urgently said, “Everyone, stay alert, the thorns on these tendrils are poisonous, and we absolutely can’t let them penetrate our flesh and blood.
Moreover, these vines should be able to suck the blood from our bodies.
Once they completely entangle us, we’ll be in real trouble.”
Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and the others had also seen the fate of Kong Fei and his group.
Hearing that these blood-red tendrils could also suck human blood made Shen Mingxuan, Lin Xinyi, and the others even more cautious, continuously waving their sharp Mountain-splitting Knives in their hands.
However, the tendrils seed endless, one wave after another attacking, forcing Ye Chenfeng and his group to maintain the best combat readiness at all tis.
Cheng Dahhu swallowed his saliva and said, “Chenfeng, these bloodsucking tendrils seem infinite.
At this rate, if we aren’t entangled by them, we’ll eventually be worn out and die.”
“Bang!
Bang!”
Just as Cheng Dahhu’s words fell, two muffled sounds resonated from the direction of the city gate.
The riddled gate suddenly collapsed, and two blood-red tendrils as thick as adult arms shot out from inside, spreading rapidly towards Ye Chenfeng and the others.
In just an instant, the two thick blood-red tendrils reached Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi.
Ye Chenfeng, without hesitation, concentrated his Soul Force and chopped one of the tendrils with his Mountain-splitting Knife in his hand.
With a “crack”, his knife broke into two pieces.
“Crack!” Another crisp sound echoed.
As Ye Chenfeng’s Mountain-splitting Knife struck one of the tendrils, Lin Xinyi chopped at the other tendril, and her knife also broke.
After their knives broke, Ye Chenfeng didn’t have ti to draw another Mountain-splitting Knife from his Space Ring.
Thus, he and Lin Xinyi could only resist the two thick blood-red tendrils with their bare hands.
As the tendrils coiled around their bodies, they both instantly felt their strength drain away, and could only watch helplessly as the tendrils tightly bound their bodies.
Behind Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi, Shen Mingxuan and the other two were too late to help.
After the two thick tendrils had entangled Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi, they quickly lashed toward Shen Mingxuan and the other two.
They were already struggling to cope with the thinner tendrils, and their bodies were directly struck by the two thick tendrils, their Mountain-splitting Knives falling from their hands, bodies heavily crashing to the ground as the countless smaller tendrils instantly wrapped them up tightly.
The two thick tendrils that had entangled Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi quickly retracted back into the city gate.
Although their bodies were paralyzed, Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi did not pass out, and in a mont, they were dragged into the city gate by the two thick tendrils.
Inside the city gate was a towering blood-red tree, from which all the tendrils, both thick and thin, originated, and these two thick tendrils pressed Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi’s bodies tightly against the colossal tree.
Sharp thorns on the trunk of the great tree pierced into the flesh of Ye Chenfeng and Lin Xinyi as their bodies neared the tree.
With a pale face, Lin Xinyi was about to speak when her expression suddenly changed.
Ye Chenfeng also underwent a drastic change in expression, clenching his teeth tightly, because they both felt the blood within their bodies rapidly draining—much faster than the smaller tendrils outside the city gate could ever have sucked.
Ye Chenfeng felt that if the blood continued to drain at this rate, he and Lin Xinyi would surely die here within an hour.
But now, Ye Chenfeng was utterly powerless.
How could he free himself and Lin Xinyi from this sinister and bizarre plant?
It was truly a matter of life and death for him now, the loss of blood turning his face increasingly pallid.
