Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 2001 2002: These Vines Are So Annoying

Sun Wei glanced at the sky and said, "Good idea."

As soon as he said it, Sun Wei leaped into the air, but before he could fully ascend, a vine wrapped around him, stopping him in his tracks.

Zhang Zhenlin angrily said, "These vines are too troublesome; we can't move at all."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You go first, I'll cover from behind."

Sun Wei and the others nodded and leaped up simultaneously. As the vines wrapped around them again, Ling Zhenfei swung the Tang sword in his hand, slicing through all the vines with an energy slash.

Freed from the vines, Sun Wei and the others swiftly reached the tree trunk, but the vines surged up the tree again, seemingly determined not to rest until they killed the few of them.

Ling Zhenfei, furious in his heart, thought of something and took out the gourd from inside the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow.

Opening the cap of the gourd, a flame surged out from it, shooting towards the vines.

This flame was truly the nemesis of the vines, and it was no ordinary flame; as soon as it touched the vines, it burned them all away.

Ling Zhenfei then directed the flame towards the trees, burning away the vines trying to crawl up, before leaping onto the tree trunk himself.

The four of them ascended onto the tree, with the vines once again trying to surge up. Ling Zhenfei, using the gourd, unleashed another burst of flames, incinerating the vines completely.

Ling Zhenfei said to them, "Don't move."

Although they didn't understand what Ling Zhenfei meant, Sun Wei and the others remained still.

As everyone paused, the vines attempted to rush up the tree but were burned away. Eventually, they stopped attacking.

The entire area of vines calmed down, the once frenetic tendrils now seemingly smoothed out by an unseen force, almost unbelievably so.

The vines that had risen taller than a person now lay flat, only reaching up to a person's calf.

The flowers still bloomed in vibrant colors, painting a beautiful landscape.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that even if one's spiritual energy reached the heavens, they could eventually be exhausted to death.

Sun Wei said, "That really scared me. How strange this all is."

Ling Zhenfei said, "The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it can be. Beauty can lull us into a false sense of security."

Sun Wei said, "It was truly terrifying. Luckily, your gourd was powerful. It has saved us twice now."

At this moment, Murong Liuqing said, "What should we do next? We can't just wait here forever."

Ling Zhenfei said, "As long as we don't touch those vines, there shouldn't be a problem. The vines react to our movements. The more drastic our actions, the stronger their response will be.

Let's not touch them. We'll move from tree to tree, and they won't react."

Zhang Zhenlin said, "Let's go quickly. Just thinking about what happened earlier gives me the chills."

The group nodded and moved forward, leaping from one tree to another.

Being experts in the Dawen Realm, this method was straightforward for them.

They leaped across the tree trunks for quite some time before the strange vines disappeared below them, and the ground had no clear path, so they landed on the ground.

Sun Wei said, "I get it now. That path was left on purpose by the vines to lure us. These things are truly insidious."

Zhang Zhenlin said, "Are these really just plants? The thought gives me goosebumps."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Now that we've experienced these vines, we should be more cautious."

They continued forward, and the path ahead returned to the arduous, treacherous forest trails they had seen before.

Since only once every twenty years does someone tread this path to Xianling Mountain, it might as well not exist.

But there was no mistake in direction because they could see the tallest peak; they just had to head there,

From the core area, it wasn't long before they started climbing, heading to the main peak of Xianling Mountain.

The uphill path became much more manageable, clearly maintained by someone.

At least it resembled a road, and just as they were about to proceed, a loud roar echoed, and a massive creature emerged from the forest.

This creature's entire body was dark, covered in black fur, standing on two legs, and over two meters tall, incredibly robust, looking nothing like an ordinary gorilla.

Everyone was shocked, hardly believing their eyes that such a creature existed here.

This black gorilla charged out from the trees, blocking their path.

Everyone was stunned, and at this moment, Murong Liuqing said, "Don't worry, this is the Mountain Guardian Beast of Xianling Mountain."

Ling Zhenfei was shocked, having never heard of a Mountain Guardian Beast on this mountain.

Murong Liuqing bowed to the beast and said, "We are disciples of Wuliang Mountain, and we seek to ascend Xianling Mountain. Please, Divine Beast, allow us passage."

The gorilla observed them, even stepping close to sniff them.

Ling Zhenfei sensed that this beast possessed a unique spiritual energy, not to be underestimated.

Perhaps recognizing their auras, the gorilla stepped aside, allowing them to proceed, letting out a collective sigh of relief as they continued up the mountain.

As they proceeded up, Sun Wei asked Murong Liuqing, "How come I've never heard of a Mountain Guardian Beast here before?"

Murong Liuqing said, "My master told me, but he mentioned the Mountain Guardian Beast only appears if it senses the presence of evil demons."

Sun Wei paused in confusion, "The presence of evil demons? But we're good people; there's no trace of evil in us."

Murong Liuqing said, "I don't know, that's just what my master told me."

As they moved forward, a roar from the mountain below caught their attention.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Someone else must be coming; otherwise, the gorilla wouldn't be roaring."

When the gorilla first appeared, it only roared once, but now it let out several hurried roars before the sound faded.

The four of them were puzzled, not knowing what had happened, when suddenly an eagle's cry came from the sky.

Looking up, Ling Zhenfei saw an eagle with red feathers flying up from the mountain below.

Ling Zhenfei and the others froze, recognizing it as the same eagle refined by Blood Son by the cliff just a day ago.

Sun Wei exclaimed in surprise, "This is not good! It's those two we encountered yesterday. They're here too."

Zhang Zhenlin said, "That old man is a master of the Pursue Heart State, we're no match. Hurry, we must run up!"
