"Venusaur!"
Faced with the desperate attack of the Eternal Demon Thorn Vine, Qing Mu gave Venusaur a wink.
Venusaur instantly understood and immediately withdrew the surrounding pink petals. At the same time, a large number of petals flew out from the Fiery Apricot on Venusaur's back, and the two merged together.
Pink petals began to swirl rapidly around Qingmu and Venusaur, instantly transforming into a pink petal barrier that protected them.
Just as the petal barrier took shape, the Ten-Thousand-Year Demon Thorn Vine's desperate attack arrived.
Countless dark purple vines, like javelins, pierced the petal barrier, producing a metallic clanging sound.
Qing Mu watched quietly as the petal barrier clashed with the attack of the ten-thousand-year-old demonic thorn vine, her heart remaining undisturbed.
This was originally just an attempt, and it wouldn't matter if it failed. With the guardians there, the ancient demonic thorn vines couldn't possibly harm them.
However, to Qing Mu's surprise, the dark purple vines only lasted a short while before being obliterated by the rapidly spinning petal barrier, posing no threat to Qing Mu and Venusaur at all.
Seeing this, Qingmu stroked his chin and said, "It seems that the barrier formed by the falling petals is even stronger than expected. It has such an effect on the first use."
Although Qingmu managed to defend himself, this was his strongest survival technique, and he naturally saved it for the most critical moment.
Therefore, Qingmu needs to first create a defensive move that can be used frequently to defend against some attacks that are not particularly strong.
This move cannot consume too much energy, and since it is a defensive move, the casting speed cannot be slow either.
The most powerful Crazy Plant consumes too much energy, and it's Qingmu's trump card, so it naturally can't be used for defense.
While Seed Bomb and Poison Strike are powerful, their unique characteristics make them unsuitable for defense.
As for the flying leaf blade and the vine whip, their power is too weak to defend against attacks with even slightly greater power.
After much deliberation, Qingmu finally chose the newly learned Petalfall move from Venusaur as the starting point for her defensive moves.
The Falling Petals skill is quite powerful and easy to control, with a high skill ceiling. With some research, it can be expanded into defensive applications.
Thus, the Falling Petal Barrier was created, and it demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in its first battle.
"Da na!"
The instant the Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine's attack ended, two enormous seeds emitting green light immediately pierced through the flower curtain and quickly arrived at the Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine's main body, exploding in two.
Rumble—
Several explosions rang out, and a warm current appeared in Qing Mu's body. That was the soul power fed back from defeating the Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine.
Seeing that the Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine had been defeated, Qing Mu condensed a small green ball in his hand and threw it towards the Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine's main body.
After the green ball landed, it immediately transformed into a light green ripple. The barren land around the Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine, which was originally empty, immediately sprouted many weeds, and specks of white light converged towards the Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine.
After a moment, Qing Mu glanced at the Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine and said indifferently, "I know you've recovered almost completely. Do as I say and you can survive. Otherwise, I don't mind letting you experience the taste of death."
Upon hearing Qing Mu's words, the Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine trembled slightly. In an instant, a main vine emerged from the ground and nodded to Qing Mu in a human-like manner, indicating its willingness to listen to Qing Mu.
Seeing this, Qing Mu couldn't help but smile slightly. This free punching bag... no, this free sparring partner has arrived, hasn't it?
Especially since this Demon Thorn Vine is quite old, 15,000 years old, training with it won't lower his level, killing two birds with one stone.
"Very good. Since you are willing to listen, let's begin. First, create ten vines and attack Venusaur."
"Ivysaur, after you take root, use Petalfall again. Let's see how fast the petals rotate."
Thus, with the voluntary help of the Eternal Demon Thorn Vine, Venusaur's Petal Barrier improved rapidly. It only took one day to find the optimal speed, and its proficiency with the Petal Blend move also reached a new level.
During this time, when Qing Mu saw that the time was about right, he opened up the Grass Field with a 30% boost to the Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine, which immediately raised its strength to a whole new level.
Even so, the Eternal Vine is no match for Venusaur and can only be used as a training tool. It is defeated by Venusaur time and time again, and then rescued by Qingmu's Grassy Terrain time and time again, in this endless cycle.
However, while the Eternal Demon Thorn Vine is painful, it is not without its benefits.
After all, it didn't have a grassy field like Qingmu before, so it couldn't practice so recklessly. After experiencing a lot of attacks, its attacks have become more concise and deadly.
Moreover, Qingmu, finding the Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine's attack methods too crude, even personally demonstrated and taught it some advanced attack techniques.
This undoubtedly made the Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine even more successful. Although its age did not change much, its strength improved significantly.
And so, through continuous training, not only were Qingmu and Venusaur getting stronger, but the Eternal Demon Thorn Vine was also rapidly growing stronger, constantly adapting to the increasingly higher demands of Qingmu and Venusaur.
A week later, when Qingmu and Venusaur were leaving, the Eternal Demon Thorn Vine bid them a reluctant farewell.
Who says there are no good people in the world? Isn't this one?
Although it was only a short week, the impact on the Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine was undoubtedly enormous. Qing Mu's various ingenious ideas left the bewildered Ten Thousand Year Demon Thorn Vine dumbfounded, and it also made it feel that it had wasted its previous ten thousand years of life.
If it had met Qingmu and Ivysaur earlier, it could have devoured more soul beasts, and its current cultivation level might not be 15,000 years, but 20,000 years, or even higher.
And with this extraordinary encounter, the Ten-Thousand-Year Demon Thorn Vine is filled with confidence in its future.
If it doesn't die, it might be able to live for over 100,000 years. At that time, it could take human form and go to the human world to see what it's like and absorb some of its knowledge. That would be a wonderful thing.
After leaving the Eternal Demon Thorn Vine, Qingmu and Venusaur began searching for their next target. This time, they planned to choose a stronger opponent to test the attack power of the Crazy Plant.
As the strongest move of both, Venusaur's mastery of Crazy Plants is not yet complete, and it requires a lot of battles to improve.
Just as Qingmu and Venusaur were searching for an opponent, a group of people wearing green academy uniforms arrived outside the Azure Forest.
