The sun was gradually setting in the west, and I don't know when it started. A light mist rose around me, making the shadows look even darker.

In my ears, I can always hear the roars of wild beasts, howls of wolves, roars of lions, cries of eagles, and the chirping of insects, all in succession, echoing endlessly.

Bai Wushang listened for a while and slightly adjusted his direction.

He had already had a simple meal and planned to go deeper into the cave before it got too dark.

While walking, a group of bigfoot deer appeared in front of me.

This is a relatively short animal, only one meter tall, with no horns, deep-set eye sockets and spots on its back.

It is characterized by well-developed muscles all over its body. Although it has short legs, its limbs are extremely thick, and its soles are as wide as an elephant's feet. When it runs, it shakes the mountains and makes a lot of noise.

Bai Wushang held up the torch and retreated quietly without approaching rashly.

In this group of bigfoot deer, the weakest one is still in the middle stage of larval stage, and the leader is probably at the peak stage of larval stage.

Bigfoot deer are known to have bad tempers. Even if their bloodline quality is only 3 stars at the mortal bone level, a dozen of them together are enough to make most peak larvae shy away.

At this moment, Bai Wushang's scalp tightened, and he faintly sensed something approaching.

In the darkness, there was a continuous sound of breaking through the air, from far to near, coming quickly and fiercely.

Before he had time to react, three long, black and thick things grazed Bai Wushang's trouser legs and shot towards the group of bigfoot deer.

"Yo-yo-yo-"

The deer herd screamed in panic, followed by the roar of trampling hooves, and there was chaos ahead.

By the light of the fire, Bai Wushang could clearly see his feet and said in surprise: "Is this... a vine?"

The black stems and leaves are spirally entwined, forming vines as thick as an arm, twisting like a snake's body, shuttling back and forth among the bigfoot deer.

After a while, Bai Wushang saw two dying big-antlered deer tied into rice dumplings, dragged by black vines, retreating somewhere behind them.

Bai Wushang tiptoed and followed behind secretly.

After walking about a dozen steps and turning a corner, Bai Wushang stopped, extinguished the torch as quickly as possible, and then lay down in the bushes.

Not far away, a huge vine took root in the ground, resembling four giant black pythons stuck upside down in the soil.

The thickest one in the center should be the main vine. At the top of the wooden vine branch, there is a dazzling round flower bud. The diameter of the flower bud is more than two meters, exuding a dense brilliance in the darkness.

It should have been a pleasing sight, but when the buds bloomed, Bai Wushang's hair stood on end and he wished he could spit out the fragrance.

What's in the bud is not a stamen at all, but a huge and ferocious mouthpart, like a monster's mouth, with sharp teeth interlocking with each other, and a faint green liquid flowing.

The three branch vines surrounding the main vine quickly sent two strangled bigfoot deer into the bud's mouth.

When the food enters the mouth, the bulging buds close again and make anthropomorphic chewing movements. The sound of eating is very scary in this lonely night.

"Ghost vine, this is a ghost vine! A rare species of plant type..." Bai Wushang's eyes were bright and he murmured silently: "Looking at this size, it should be in the late stage of larval stage and has not reached its peak, otherwise the paravine wouldn't have only

Three..."

Quickly recalling the relevant knowledge points in his mind, Bai Wushang's expression couldn't help but start to get excited.

"Ghost vine is a plant-type extraordinary creature in the abyss. It has ancient blood. It is characterized by its preference for carnivorous food, ferocious nature, and strong recovery ability. Its main attack method is black vine tentacles. It is not only tough enough, but also extends very far. It is the most ideal control system.

One of the pet beasts..."

"I remember it was recorded in the "Record of Holy Beasts" that there was once a master nicknamed 'Ghost Lord', and his pet beast was a ghost vine. Under his cultivation, the ghost vine evolved to the extreme, and was eventually promoted to the legendary level.

The holy beast - the Thousand-Handed Ghost Vine Demon King, one man and one beast, swept across the border with an army of 100,000 orcs, and achieved great military exploits..."

"If I could contract such a pet beast..." Bai Wushang was startled, and thoughts were running through his mind.

After a few seconds, Bai Wushang came back to his senses and took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled it, eliminating all unnecessary distracting thoughts.

He began to seriously analyze the possibility of capturing Oni Teng:

"The methods of subduing pet beasts vary from person to person and from beast to beast. There is no way to generalize. Some are through emotional resonance, some are attracted by bloodline talent, and some are even seduced and coaxed..."

"Among these, the most common one is definitely persuasion by force... Only extraordinary creatures who first prove that their fists are hard enough, have the ability to suppress the opponent, and follow natural concepts such as survival of the fittest and winner takes all, can they surrender obediently...

"

"It goes without saying that this ferocious ghost vine is in good condition. How about signing a pet contract with it? Unless your soul power is high enough to directly suppress it, you will definitely offend it... I must think of a way.

First severely injure the ghost vine and sign a contract with it during its weak period, so that the probability of success will be high..."

Thinking of this, Bai Wushang frowned helplessly:

"But how can I defeat it on my own? The most obvious weakness of Ghost Vine is undoubtedly its slow movement speed, but... the coverage area of ​​its tentacles is too large. Even if the three tentacles cannot cover the entire area, I can't choose

Fight with it..."

"The trap method is unreliable. This is a plant, not an animal. You can't count on it..."

Bai Wushang pondered for a while, then suddenly tapped his forehead: "Perhaps I should think back, which part of the ghost vine can be severely damaged by attacking? There is no doubt that its body is the main vine in the middle, and the buds on it are equivalent to human beings.

If I can destroy my head, I won’t be far from success..."

"Let's first see if there is anything on me that can be useful... Forget the dagger, it's too short... The poisonous spear can be used, but it has to pierce the flower bud. There is flesh and blood tissue there. It can be used to pierce the vine tentacles.

None... In addition, I seriously doubt that the green liquid in the flower buds is a corrosive toxin. Organisms with their own toxins often have certain anti-toxic capabilities. It is also a plant type with strong recovery ability. It is very difficult to see how effective the venom can be.

It’s hard to say…”

"Is there anything else that could come in handy?"

Bai Wushang stretched out his hand to open the dimensional backpack. After a while, his fingers suddenly froze, and a hint of surprise bloomed in his eyes:

"By the way, the heart of the Fireball Snake! How could I forget it? This is a good high explosive. As a dark plant, the larvae of Ghost Vine should still be afraid of fire at this stage. If you can put the heart of the Fireball Snake in the bud
