Episode 11 Graveyard of the Gods Chapter 11 Plant Life
“Keep your voice down.” Linley was cautious, “See that giant green snake down there.”
Barker glanced downwards and nodded, and Linley said solemnly, “This giant green snake just turned into a small finger-sized snake, hiding in a clump of foliage, and just now suddenly gave me a blow. If I had been too arrogant and hadn’t transformed in Dragonblood Warrior form at first, my ‘pulsation defense’ in human form definitely wouldn’t have been able to resist this blow, and my little life could have been lost here.”
“That serious?” Barker couldn’t help but be staggered.
Linley’s face was serious as he looked around towards his surroundings and lowered his voice, “According to what Desiree told me, the three passages in the Yulan Continent lead to three different graveyards of the Gods, and this is the most dangerous one. Back then, Desiree and the others were hiding on the fifth floor until the ten-year period expired.”
Barker looked a little surprised, “I still want to go to the eleventh layer.”
“The eleventh layer? Even the sixth layer, the Desiree of that year didn’t dare to break into it, and the eleventh layer?” Linley looked at Barker solemnly, “Barker, don’t think you’re careless and sloppy just because of how high your defense is. In this hellhole, quite a few other-dimensional creatures will appear, and there might be ones that restrain your abilities. If you’re not careful, your little life could play out.”
“Remember what Desiree said, if one is a bit greedy, ten out of eighty or so would be lucky to survive.” Linley glanced at Barker, “If ten do survive, I’m guessing that they’re including the five great Saint realm limit powerhouses, as well as those who’ve been here in the past and have experience. It’s me, if I’m careless, I could die.”
Hearing Linley say this, Barker was much more cautious.
After all, if it was possible to survive, those who had come here in the past and had experience naturally had a higher probability. Moreover, of the eighty or so strong people, such as those three ‘six-eyed golden geibis’, and the terrifying magical beasts of the Forest of Darkness, along with the strongest amongst the humans, there were definitely ten that added up to catch up with Barker’s strength.
“Depart.” Linley whispered.
“En.” Barker immediately followed, the two of them carefully, each holding a purple-blooded soft sword and that giant axe in their hands. Both of them were ready for battle at any moment.
This, on the contrary, caused quite a few of the terrifying creatures in the jungle to refrain from attacking them.
“Lord Linley, this place is so dense with vine manes and leaves that we can’t even recognize the direction.” The duo had been flying for quite a while and were getting a little anxious, when they first looked at that Graveyard of the Gods, it seemed like the base was only 10,000 meters long. Yet the space inside this was much larger.
With this means, Linley and the others could only look up.
“Don’t worry, calmly, calmly go find it.” Linley whispered.
Suddenly, “Ah!” A mournful scream came from the distance. Shattered ground leaves also erupted haphazardly from the distance.
Linley and Barker looked at each other and quietly approached towards the location of the battle, and only a moment later the two of them discovered a scene that surprised them – the conspicuously huge flower was currently engulfing a Saint realm powerhouse as if it were a bloody mouth, and the interior of the flower was shaking. It was obvious that the Saint realm powerhouse was resisting.
But in just a few seconds, the flower’s interior returned to calm.
That Saint realm powerhouse was already dead.
“Cannibalism?” Linley couldn’t help but frown.
Back in the Forest of Darkness, when Linley had seen that one metal castle that possessed life, he had understood that …… not only humans, magical beasts, and the like possessed life. Even metals, or plants could possess intelligent life, and sometimes those lives could be even more terrifying.
“My lord?” Barker lowered his voice.
Linley gave him a wink, and at this moment, Linley also noticed something strange, surprisingly, there was a Vineman moving slowly.
“This Vineman has life, I’m afraid some plant life is trying to kill us.” The corners of Linley’s mouth turned up slightly. Such life as plants were generally not very effective with a Black Yul heavy sword instead, after all, cutting off a section. People still had a large cut.
At this time. Using a sharp. The speedy Purple Blood Soft Sword, however, was much more effective.
“Snort-” steeply. The dozens of meters long sinuous Vine Man on the ground in the distance violently popped up, directly wrapping towards Linley, Barker and the two of them, as well as the Vine Man wrapped around a large tree also similarly detached from the tree, wrapping towards Linley and the others.
The vines in the grass also ejected.
At one time, hundreds of vines, thick or thin, covered the sky, from the sky, from the surroundings, from the bottom, even in the soil there were vines emerging, Linley, Barker and the two of them were instantly caught in this prison. Countless rattan mansions directly wrapped around them.
Countless rattan mansions, twisting into a green rattan ball with a diameter of ten meters.
Linley and Barker were inside this large ball.
“This is troublesome.” Linley’s arms exerted force in a vain attempt to open this vine-man, but this vine-man was extremely flexible, and could even be slightly elongated. Relying on brute force alone, it was simply impossible to break open this vine-man prison. Moreover, Linley could also feel countless needles stabbing his entire body through the vine-man.
Although the ‘pulsation defense’ was resisting, his own Dou Qi was decreasing drastically.
“My lord, it can’t hold out.” Barker was also anxious, he wanted to swing his huge axe, but his arms that were entangled by a large number of Vine Mane could not dance at all, those Vine Mane were terrifyingly strong in terms of toughness and strength, “My lord, what should we do?”
Barker was anxious.
His strength was great, but this giant Vine Mane life force was much greater.
Suddenly-
“Haha, the two of you will suffer death, after killing the two of you, I will kill three more. I’ll be able to gather enough corpse heads, and then I’ll be able to become a god when I give it to my lord. Don’t resist, you can’t resist, the power of your human life ground can’t catch up with me.” The shrill and rampant voice echoed in this vine cage.
“Getting together corpse heads?” Linley’s heart was startled.
He now somewhat understood why the various beings in the Graveyard of Gods wanted to kill them.
“Die.” The shrill voice resounded once more.
Linley could only feel terrifying power being transmitted from the Vine Mann, each of these Vine Manns possessed extreme strength, and at this moment, with hundreds or thousands of Vine Manns firing at the same time, even Linley and Barker felt a terrifying oppression.
With a large number of Vine Manes entangled, Linley’s arms, legs, and dragon’s tail were all entangled, and even with brute force, he could only move in small increments.
“To kill us both?” Linley smiled coldly, merely flipping his wrist.
The demonic purple light immediately lit up, under the ‘wind’s rhythm’ attack, wherever the purple blood soft sword passed, the rattanman broke apart, Linley’s purple blood soft sword transformed into a phantom in an instant, countless rattanmans snapped apart, only to hear a mournful, miserable scream.
The only thing that could be heard was a mournful scream. Immediately quickly fled.
In just a moment, those intact Vine Manns all disappeared, while the broken Vine Manns were on the ground, but as if they possessed life-giving tentacles twitching on the ground.
“Hmph.” Linley glanced around.
Linley was searching for where the core of that Vineman’s life was, and in just a few moments, Linley found some clues, but the results of his discovery caused Linley to shake his head and sigh, “This guy’s main body is actually hidden under the ground, it’s troublesome to go down and kill him.”
Barker was also somewhat fearful, “Lord Linley. What if I were to encounter this Vineman Being alone? This purple-blooded soft sword is small and can be swung with a flick of the wrist, and if my giant axe relies on wrist movement alone. The attack power wouldn’t work, it wouldn’t be able to cleave through that Vineman.”
Linley also nodded slightly.
Barker was strong in defense and strong in strength. Using a giant axe was also a powerful swing, and just now, Barker’s entire body was entangled. With his arms unable to exert any force, it was indeed difficult to break open this vine-man.
“Against this kind of plant, using brute force is far inferior to using a sharp weapon.” Linley glanced at Barker.
“It’s mainly because your law comprehension isn’t high yet. Even if I’m empty-handed, I can still use ‘Rhythm of the Wind’ and cut through those Vinemans with my palm blades. Using ‘Earth Upanishad’ can also shatter those Vinemans.” Linley reminded Barker. “In the Yulan Continent. You rely on being strong in strength. Strong defense is fine, but if you meet some of the ones with strange instincts. You’ll really be out of luck.”
“En.” Barker remembered this lesson to death.
“Let’s go.” Linley said.
However, when the two of them had flown only tens of meters away, Linley slanted, like running thunder, directly towards the bottom, and then his right arm swung up like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly smashing into that ground. The entire underground trembled.
Earth Upanishad – Earth Pulse
This was Linley’s limit nowadays, much more earthly than the 256 heavy vibration waves of power in the past.
“Ah.” A miserable scream came from the ground.
“Hmph, you’re lucky if you don’t die.” Linley quickly flew up, “Barker, let’s go.”
Linley was actually able to calculate the approximate location of that Vineman life essence underground from the tendency of a large number of Vineman to escape. But it was only an approximate location, and in Linley’s opinion …… this kind of Vineman life essence must be huge.
As Linley estimated it, he directly cast an ‘Earth Upanishad’ attack towards the central location.
“Even if I can’t attack the core of the being, I can still attack the other locations of the being.” Linley thought so in his mind. Linley thought correctly, his strike hadn’t struck the core of the main body, and that Vineman being had indeed gotten away with it, but Linley had still caused him to suffer a great deal of damage.
Shortly after engaging the Vineman being, Linley and Barker searched for the passageway hideout, it was in a staircase wrapped in a large number of plants, Linley and Barker walked along the staircase and finally found the entrance to the third floor.
“Be careful, there could be a divine grade magical beast ‘Bar Serpent’ on any level. Can’t be careless.” Linley gave a reminder to Barker.
“I know, I won’t even speak when I find the Ba Snake.” Barker nodded.
Immediately, Linley and Barker stepped directly into the third level, as soon as they entered the third level, both Linley and Barker couldn’t help but shiver, it was too cold, this kind of cold was something Linley and Barker had never felt before.
This was the world of ice.
Icebergs stretched on and on, while there was also a large amount of white airflow surrounding it, and when that white airflow came close to the ground, Linley and Barker both couldn’t help but shiver.
“Why is it so cold?” Linley’s heart was secretly shocked, “I have pulsation defense and scale armor protection and I feel so cold, it’s too perverted.”
However, no matter what Linley and Barker thought in their hearts, they didn’t dare to say anything, when there wasn’t complete certainty as to whether or not there was a divine grade magical beast ‘Bar Serpent’ on this level, the two of them didn’t dare to make a sound. Linley and Barker flew carefully.
Suddenly-
“It’s Edens.” Linley saw a Saint realm powerhouse not far away, and at the moment, Edens was flying carefully with two other Saint realm powerhouses.
As Linley and Barker approached over towards them, Edens seemed to have noticed Linley as well, and he hurriedly glared at Linley sharply.
“What’s wrong?” Linley’s heart was startled.
Edens’ eyes were, obviously, anxious, while also pointing in a distant direction.
Linley immediately followed the direction of Edens’ pointing towards the distance, and Linley only saw a snake-like torso covered in green scales, it was more than ten meters thick in diameter, and as for the length, what Linley could see was only dozens of meters, with the rest of the torso partially blocked by icebergs.
“Could it be the Ba’al Serpent?” Linley’s heart trembled.
Barker was also shocked, and he and Linley looked at each other, coincidentally both flying quietly. Regardless of whether it was the two of them, or Edens and the three Saint realm powerhouses in front of them, they didn’t dare to make a single sound for fear of waking up that terrifying god-level magical beast, the ‘Ba Snake’.
After flying for a while, Linley saw the main part of the Ba Snake’s body.
The sinuous body of the snake was wrapped around a huge iceberg with no end in sight. However, this part of it that circled around the iceberg was already thousands of meters. This was the largest magical beast Linley had ever seen since he was a child. Usual magical beasts were at most at the hundred meter level.
But this Ba Snake, all it saw was thousands of meters.
“Could it be over ten thousand meters?” Linley, Barker, and the rest of the group continued to fly quietly in search of the passage. Linley looked at the Saint realm powerhouses behind him who had also entered this third level, “I hope these guys, they don’t wake up that Ba Snake. If they get dragged down by them, it’ll be really miserable.”
There were already quite a few Saint Domain powerhouses in the third layer now, and if any of them made a mistake, everyone would be in bad luck.
“The head of a Ba Snake.” Linley saw the huge snake head that was twenty meters tall in the distance, the Ba Snake was closing its eyes, the breathing wasn’t exactly loud, but in the silent environment of the third level, Linley and the others could still clearly hear it.
This Ba Snake sleeping, the mouth also rhythmically sprayed out black airflow, black airflow like a whirlwind towards the surrounding escape, when the black airflow touched the surrounding icebergs, the icebergs will be directly reduced to pieces.
