The Ghost Vine let out a shrill scream. Seizing the opportunity, Lu Lingfeng rushed forward, not giving it a chance to breathe. The weapon in his hand shone brightly, and he fiercely chopped at the main body of the Ghost Vine.
The main body of the Ghost Vine was cut with a deep wound, and green sap flowed out continuously.
As Lu Lingfeng and Pei Xijun took the opportunity to launch a final attack, they finally defeated the Ghost Vine completely.
Lu Lingfeng and Pei Xijun stood wearily on the spot.
"Finally won."
Lu Lingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Xijun said, panting slightly:
"Yes, but this Ghost Vine is really a tricky thing."
They rested for a while, and Lu Lingfeng immediately took the recording soul device in his hand, his eyes shining with anticipation, staring intently at the soul device that was recording data.
Soon, the information of the Ghost Vine appeared on the screen of the recording soul device:
Ghost Vine, Hundred-Year Soul Beast, Soul Ring Color, Yellow, Toxicity, High, Points, 5.
"Points… 5?"
Lu Lingfeng rubbed his eyes hard with his hands, widened his eyes and looked again.
"I didn't see it wrong, did I? 5 points?"
Lu Lingfeng's face was full of disbelief.
Pei Xijun leaned forward, and after seeing the numbers on the recording soul device, she also showed a surprised expression.
"This… How could there be only 5 points? This Ghost Vine is so difficult to deal with, and its strength is not weak, how could it only have so few points?"
Pei Xijun said with a frown.
Lu Lingfeng's expression was solemn, and he held the recording soul device tightly in his hand, as if he wanted to see through it.
"There must be something strange about this. Perhaps there is something wrong with this recording soul device?"
Lu Lingfeng asked in doubt.
Pei Xijun shook her head:
"That's unlikely. This recording soul device has always been very reliable. Could it be that this Ghost Vine has something special that caused the points to be underestimated?"
The two fell into contemplation, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
"It's really a thankless thing…"
Lu Lingfeng sighed helplessly:
"Yes, it took so much effort, but only 5 points. This Ghost Vine is indeed elusive."
Pei Xijun frowned slightly:
"If I had known, I wouldn't have spent so much energy on it. It would be better to look for those soul beasts that are easier to deal with and have higher points."
Lu Lingfeng nodded:
"It's too late to say this now. I just hope that we won't encounter this kind of seemingly powerful but pitifully low-scoring soul beast again in the future."
Pei Xijun sighed:
"I hope so. After this trip, I feel like I'm about to collapse from exhaustion, and in the end, I only got so few points."
Lu Lingfeng patted Pei Xijun on the shoulder:
"Don't be discouraged, we've only just begun. Maybe there are surprises waiting for us later."
Pei Xijun glared at Lu Lingfeng:
"You're just good at comforting people. If this surprise doesn't come, we'll be at a big loss."
After a while, Lu Lingfeng raised his head, his eyes revealing determination.
"In any case, we have already defeated the Ghost Vine. That's a fact. Since the points are so low, we will no longer entangle with these Ghost Vines."
Lu Lingfeng said.
Pei Xijun nodded:
"You're right. Every challenge we've encountered along the way is a valuable asset. Let's just treat these 5 points as a small accident."
Lu Lingfeng smiled slightly and put away the recording soul device.
"Don't worry, our luck won't always be so bad. Let's go, let's continue to find soul beasts."
Although Pei Xijun was still a little dissatisfied, she knew that she couldn't waste time here, so she followed Lu Lingfeng forward.
Along the way, the two were a little silent, obviously still depressed about the Ghost Vine's low score.
Pei Xijun said again:
"This Ghost Vine is really infuriating. It would be great if we could raise its score a bit."
Lu Lingfeng shook his head:
"That won't work. These points on the recording soul device are all based on the actual situation, and the points won't change because of our wishes. We can only accept this result and then choose our targets more carefully."
Pei Xijun snorted:
"Okay, I hope we can encounter some truly valuable soul beasts next, and make up for this loss."
Lu Lingfeng said firmly:
"We will. We must believe in our strength."
Pei Xijun smiled and nodded, then followed Lu Lingfeng deeper.
The first two groups went straight into the deep mountains from the beginning.
Sha Zhuge and A'li were not to be outdone, and they all used their fastest soul skills to closely follow behind them.
The mist in the valley was thick, greatly interfering with people's perception.
Sha Zhuge and the others carefully shuttled through the staggered stone pillars and trees, always vigilant about the surrounding dangers.
"Be careful! There are stone pillars ahead!" A'li suddenly shouted.
Everyone quickly adjusted their direction and narrowly avoided the stone pillars hidden in the mist.
"This mist is too annoying, you can't see the road at all."
A clansman complained.
"Stop complaining, focus your attention. If you can't see clearly, you have to look carefully for the location of the soul beast."
His partner said seriously. After he finished speaking, they continued to chase forward.
Suddenly.
A soul power net popped out from the ground.
"Not good!"
Sha Zhuge reacted quickly, immediately grabbed A'li next to him, and jumped back.
The elastic net fell from A'li's eyes. Sha Zhuge rolled over in the air, avoiding the attack of the soul power net.
A'li was also startled:
"That was close! This trap is really hard to guard against."
"Thank you, Sha Zhuge."
A'li said with lingering fear.
"I just don't want you to hold me back."
Sha Zhuge said coldly.
A'li was also puzzled.
The scene when she greeted Sha Zhuge at the beginning was still clearly imprinted in her mind.
At that time, Sha Zhuge's face was filled with a kind smile, and his eyes revealed friendliness and kindness.
His slightly raised Corners of mouth seemed to be able to melt people's hearts, making people instantly let down their guard.
She was clearly infected by his enthusiasm, and a warm current surged in her heart, feeling that she had met a very friendly person.
It seems like since she took him to Zhuge Lan.
He seems to have a deep hatred for Zhuge Lan, hating Zhuge Lan to the core.
Since then, his whole attitude has undergone a 180-degree change.
Even he is no longer as kind to her as before.
A'li was full of doubts and couldn't figure out the reason.
What exactly did Zhuge Lan do that could make Sha Zhuge's attitude change so drastically? Did they have any grudges before?
But since she met Zhuge Lan, Zhuge Lan has always been gentle, elegant, and willing to help others, and has never made enemies with anyone.
Could it be that there is some misunderstanding?
But Sha Zhuge's hatred is so obvious that it doesn't seem like an emotion that arose for no reason.
The more A'li thought about it, the more strange she felt. What kind of secret is hidden behind this?
She decided that after this action is over, she must find a chance to ask Sha Zhuge properly and find out the reason for his attitude towards Zhuge Lan.
