Chapter 376 Mutated Arrow Vine
“Senior Brother Lu, after listening to your suggestion, I found something on a mutant plant, but I’m not sure. Can you come over and help me take a look?”
While Lu Xuan was studying the new mutant spiritual plant, suddenly, a voice sounded in his ears. He turned around and saw Liu Suzheng looking here expectantly.
He nodded slightly and came to Liu Su.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Lu.”
Liu Su thanked her softly, pointed to a mutant spiritual plant not far in front of her and said:
"Senior Brother Lu, this spiritual plant seems to be similar to a certain spiritual plant in my memory. That spiritual plant is called poisonous smoke wood. It can absorb various poisons and breed poisonous smoke. It is somewhat similar to this mutant spiritual plant. But the difference is huge.”
“The poisonous energy of the spiritual plant in front of me seems to be too strong.”
Lu Xuan looked around and saw that the mutant spirit plant was filled with poisonous gas. It was so strong that it almost turned into substance. A smell that made people want to vomit could be smelled from a few feet away.
This is already a poisonous cloud...
Lu Xuan secretly complained and cast a spiritual rain spell casually.
【Unknown spiritual plant, formerly known as the third-grade poisonous smoke wood, has been subject to...】
A thought flashed across his mind, and Lu Xuan confirmed that the mutated spiritual plant not far away was indeed the mutated poisonous smoke tree as Liu Su said.
Knowing the result, he suddenly felt a lot more at ease, and said to Chao Liusu with a calm expression.
“Fellow Daoist Liu, although the spiritual plant has changed a lot, it remains true to its origins. The core things are difficult to be affected by external factors and often remain the same.”
“Based on this, it can be judged that the mutant spiritual plant is probably derived from the poisonous smoke wood. All Taoist friends need to do is to verify their conjecture.”
“Every change remains true to its original origin…it is true.”
Liu Su was suddenly enlightened, and inspiration surged in her mind.
She once again thanked Lu Xuan deeply, and threw herself wholeheartedly on the poisonous spiritual plant.
“Junior brother Lu, I am not sure about the spiritual plant in my hand. I would like to ask my junior brother to come over and give me some advice.”
Less than half an hour after Lu Xuan returned to his place, another fellow disciple invited him to come over and help him take a look.
“Senior Brother Lu…”
…
In this way, in the next two or three days, if anyone among the people present had any doubts, they would ask Lu Xuan for help.
Lu Xuan has the plug-in ability to obtain detailed information about spiritual plants and can easily answer questions. Subsequent experimental research by others further verified the correctness of his answers.
As a result, everyone became more and more admired and convinced of Lu Xuan, and there were faint signs that he was the leader.
Zhong Hao saw this and smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking with a hint of resentment:
“You promised to help me?”
“Why did you become the boss without even realizing it?”
He gritted his teeth as he looked at the strange and helpless plant in front of him.
Join if you can’t beat it!
“Junior Brother Lu…”
The burly Zhong Hao walked up to Lu Xuan with an eager smile on his face.
"The spiritual plant I chose is too weird. I tried some small methods of raising spiritual beasts, but none of them had any effect. I also asked my junior brother to come over and help me control my eyes."
Lu Xuan, who was helping a spiritual planter perform a confirmation experiment, nodded.
A moment later, he came to Zhong Hao and carefully looked at the imprisoned strange spiritual plant.
The spirit plant is a green and black vine, which looks extremely ferocious at first glance. There are things like arrows hanging on the vine, with different lengths and shapes. The short ones are less than three inches, and the long ones are about one foot, with the ends integrated into the vines. Each arrow has its own characteristics, some are extremely sharp and seem to be able to pierce everything, and some have black awns emerging, which are poisonous at first glance. There are also many arrows wrapped in quivers derived from vines, ready to go.
“The spiritual plant that Senior Brother Zhong is in charge of seems to have extremely obvious characteristics.”
Lu Xuan sighed with emotion.
Logically speaking, it is easy to find the prototype of a spiritual plant with such obvious characteristics at the first time. However, several days have passed and no one has discovered the secret of the spiritual plant. This probably means that the original spiritual plant is extremely rare.
“I thought that I had the highest level of cultivation at that time, so I chose this spiritual plant that was the most peculiar at first glance.”
“It’s a pity that I still overestimated myself.”
"I have roughly observed the spiritual plants separated by Senior Brother Ge, and I can see that this one is the most aggressive, and it can be said that it already has a certain fighting instinct. It can judge the situation, choose the attack method and timing, and compete with other spiritual plants. There is a clear difference.”
Zhong Hao introduced his discovery of this spiritual plant.
“Fighting instinct?”
Lu Xuan was doubtful about what Zhong Hao said, so he asked Zhong Hao to loosen the restraint on Ling Zhi, and then pretended to pass by Ling Zhi casually.
The back was completely presented in front of Lingzhi. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and in the spiritual perception, a sharp wooden arrow came to Lu Xuan's back in an instant. The arrow rotated rapidly, turning into afterimages, and seemed to penetrate Lu Xuan's entire body.
With a sound of "ding!", Lu Xuan, who had been prepared for a long time, thought, a spiritual energy shield appeared on his back, and a black light appeared. He bypassed and picked up the arrow in one go.
The fourth-grade wind and thunder sword cuts the wooden arrow into two pieces.
“Junior brother Lu is good at swordsmanship!”
All this happened in just a split second, and Zhong Hao, who was witnessing it from the side, expressed his admiration.
“Senior Brother Zhong is so complimentary.”
Lu Xuan replied modestly.
“There is indeed something extraordinary about this spiritual plant. Other spiritual plants attack indiscriminately, but it actually attacks sneakily.”
“If an ordinary foundation-building monk encounters it, there may be a risk of injury or even death.”
As he spoke, he came to the green and black vines that had regained their composure.
Various arrows were hanging naturally from the vines, as if the lightning-fast arrow just now had nothing to do with Ling Zhi.
Lu Xuan's spiritual power surged inside his body, and misty spiritual rain dripped down, seeping into the green and black vines.
With concentration, information about Ling Zhi emerged from his mind.
[Unknown spiritual plant, fourth grade, formerly known as third grade arrow vine. It has been affected by some powerful flesh and blood power for a long time and mutated. During the growth process, it can condense various arrows according to the different spiritual energy and substances absorbed. 】
【Possessing a certain amount of intelligence, he can release arrows of different shapes and functions. When encountering a strong enemy, he can trigger a salvo of thousands of arrows, which can instantly damage or even kill mid- to late-stage foundation-building monks. 】
【Arrow vine, a third-grade spiritual plant. During the growth period, it needs the help and guidance of a spiritual planter to condense arrow-shaped spiritual power and produce an arrow-shaped spiritual fruit. When mature, it can be used as a natural bow and arrow weapon. The vine is a bow and the fruit is an arrow. 】
“Arrow Vine…a third-grade spiritual plant changed into a fourth-grade one? No wonder it is obviously different from other spiritual plants.”
Lu Xuan digested the information that popped up in his mind, recalled the sneak attack of the mutant arrow vine just now, and thought to himself.
“With thousands of arrows fired at once, and a certain level of intelligence, it’s a good choice for guarding the cave.”
He was somewhat interested in this mutated arrow vine.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~!
