Before everyone could investigate what these vines were, the vines' attack swiftly struck!
With a wave of her torch, Baili Hongzhuang caused the vines to retreat slightly. "These vines fear fire!"
As Baili Hongzhuang's words fell, the cultivators who were about to drop their torches hesitated and held onto them firmly. They tested it and found that the vines did indeed have some fear of fire.
However, although the vines retreated a bit, they did not have the intention to leave. They hesitated, seeking an opportunity to attack again.
The cultivators held their torches, but the vines were everywhere. If they held the torches in one direction, the vines would attack from behind. In this darkness, it was truly difficult to defend against them.
A powerful surge of elemental energy erupted from within the cultivators, and although the vines were terrifying, everyone had good psychological endurance. Suddenly, the sound of battle erupted around them.
Baili Hongzhuang handed the torch to Xiao Hei and quickly attacked the vines with her glass sword.
The vines were approaching from all directions. If they were surrounded by all the vines, they would undoubtedly be trapped in a vine prison, risking their lives.
With swift movements and the aid of her agile footwork, Baili Hongzhuang swiftly attacked. She noticed that the vines were like octopus tentacles, extremely agile.
Moreover, the vines were quite sturdy. It wasn't easy to sever them with the sharp glass sword.
"These vines are actually bleeding. Could it be that they have become sentient?" Yang Han's face was filled with shock as he looked at the blood left behind by the severed vines. It was an eerie and chilling sight.
Hearing Yang Han's words, everyone finally noticed the wounds on the vines.
At some point, the ground had already been stained with a lot of blood. Under the illumination of the fire, it was a terrifying sight.
For a moment, everyone felt a chill running down their spines.
The fact that the vines were moving was already strange enough, but such bleeding was something they had never heard of before. It was indescribably eerie and sent shivers down their spines.
However, at that moment, a cry for help suddenly rang out.
"Quick, save me! I'm being entangled by these vines!"
Everyone turned around and saw that Li Yangbing had been entangled by the vines without them realizing it.
The vines moved at an astonishing speed. After wrapping around Li Yangbing's legs, they dragged him along. Before Li Yangbing could sever the vines, numerous vines swiftly entwined him, turning him into a cocoon!
"These vines are sucking my blood! Ahh!"
Li Yangbing's face turned pale. He was the weakest member of the group, and he never expected to be entangled by the vines with just a slight moment of carelessness.
If this continued for another two minutes, he would lose his life.
Everyone immediately noticed a bulge on the vine entangling Li Yangbing, resembling a straw as it sucked his blood.
Witnessing this scene, everyone felt a chill. It was truly nauseating!
Everyone quickly rushed to Li Yangbing's side and severed all the vines. Fresh blood flowed from the severed ends, but it wasn't the blood of the vines; it was Li Yangbing's blood.
"Could it be that this blood doesn't belong to the vines but to the cultivators?" Yan Aoshuang looked at the fresh blood on the ground with an unpleasant expression.
