"Yes, yes." Zuo Wei hurriedly agreed, picked up the priest's staff that fell on the ground, and ran behind Guan Heng.
"Whoosh--" At this moment, two vine whips came over fiercely, one rushed towards Guan Heng's face, and the other went straight to chase Zuo Wei.
"Bah!" Guan Heng used his left arm to wrap his arms around the vine whip that was rushing toward the door in front of him, but the Sword of Serving the Moon in his right hand fell quickly. "Crack!" The vine chasing Zuo Wei was cut into pieces in an instant.
Four or five cuts.
"Hey, monster, your opponent is me." Guan Heng chuckled and said, "Stop bullying that rookie priest."
"Brother Guan Heng, don't always call me a rookie." Zuo Wei shouted dissatisfied from behind him: "If you keep saying that, I will fall into the curse of being unable to make progress."
"Ugh!" Guan Heng said, slicing down an incoming vine whip with his sword, "What kind of fallacy is this? I've never heard of it."
Just as Zuo Wei was about to explain a few words, Guan Heng suddenly said: "Damn it, the branches of this vine monster can actually regenerate?! It's endless!"
"Brother Guan Heng, monsters all have their own so-called 'core'." Zuo Wei exclaimed anxiously: "I heard the teacher say that the core of monsters is their weakness."
"I also know about this." Guan Heng muttered angrily, swinging his sword, "Shuashuashua!" Cutting down a few more branches, he shouted: "I won't be able to get close to the vine monster for a while.
You can observe it from behind and see where its core is, so that I can give it a one-hit kill."
"Okay, let me strengthen your defense first."
"Whoosh!" Zuo Wei waved the priest's staff, and an earthy yellow circle suddenly appeared under Guan Heng's feet. It was the guardian magic called "Defensive Iron Wall". Guan Heng's defense power immediately doubled, even if he was repeatedly attacked by those vine whips.
After being beaten, Guan Heng could not receive any harm at this time.
Taking advantage of the effect of the defensive iron wall, Guan Heng rushed forward with all his strength, and finally got close to the position that was only a few feet away from the vine monster.
At this time, Zoe Wei shouted loudly: "There is a dark red flashing spot on the thickest branch of the monster, that's right. That's where it is. I think it should be where the core is."
"Huh? That's where the bunch of keys hangs!"
Guan Heng took a closer look and finally found the huge torso hidden behind eight vertical vine branches, and roared. Guan Heng waved the Sword of Shiyue in his palm, breaking all the vines in front of him, "噌噌噌噌!"
Guan Heng took a long stride and walked forward a few meters. He aimed the tip of his sword at the dark red flashing point and stabbed it with all his strength.
"Pfft!" The green sap spurted out in an instant. The Sword of Shiyue continued unabated until the blade was completely submerged into the monster's torso. Guan Heng's hands then twisted vigorously, and the vine monster screamed and hissed lifelessly.
"Crack!" The entire vine trunk suddenly broke in the middle.
"Whoa!" A bunch of keys suddenly fell to the ground from the monster's body. Guan Heng hurriedly grabbed the items and said, "Don't lose them. It's you who came down to the cellar to find them."
"Zuo Wei, take the key." Guan Heng casually threw the thing to Zuo Wei behind him, "Bah!" The latter immediately caught it and held it in his hand.
"Woo-hoo!" At this moment, the vine monster that had just been killed suddenly changed.
"I thought that only monsters and humans could condense ghosts. I didn't expect that this kind of magical plant could also..." Guan Heng was stunned when he saw the ghost body of the vine monster, and then quickly used the evil-destroying eyes of the ghost-eating beast.
Turn the opponent into a Soul Stone.
"Pa." Taking the Soul Stone in his hand, Guan Heng read the information about the vine monster, which was equivalent to the other party's memory.
"Century-year-old Hell Snake Vine? Its ability is to control various plants around it, absorb and assimilate its own vine branches, and it can also be used as a long whip to attack enemies."
After reading the message about the Dark Hell Snake Vine, Guan Heng smiled slightly: "This is an interesting magical plant. Let's put away its soul stone first." Thinking of this, Guan Heng picked up the soul stone of the Snake Vine.
At this time, Zuo Wei said: "Brother Guan Heng, how are we going to get out of here? It won't be by climbing up, right?"
"It seems we can only climb up." Guan Heng looked around and picked up a thick rattan more than ten meters long, and then said to Zuo Wei: "Let's use this thing to climb up."
As he spoke, Guan Heng tied the thinner end of the cane to the hilt of the Sword of Serving the Moon, then aimed it at the top of the stone wall and the gap in the cellar and threw it upward with all his strength. "Whoop-pop!" The blade of the sword was struck by a powerful force.
After reaching the top of the stone wall, Guan Heng tugged twice and felt that it was still strong, so he climbed up after a few clicks.
After a while, Zuo Wei tied the vines around her waist and asked Guan Heng to pull them up.
"Huh - it was really thrilling." Zuo Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It scared me to death. Fortunately, you are by my side, otherwise I wouldn't know how I died."
"Actually, you also contributed a lot." Guan Heng said with a smile: "Whether it is the defensive magic of the iron wall or the quick and keen discovery of the core of the monster, it is all your credit."
Speaking of this, Guan Heng asked: "Zuo Wei, where are the keys?"
"Here." Zuo Wei shook the key in her hand and said, "Let's quickly go to the iron gate in the back garden, open it and take a look."
Guan Heng nodded, and hurried to the back garden of the house with Zuo Wei. The house where the Shenghui Ge Order is located is not small, and the back garden takes up nearly one-third of the area, but now it is already a mess.
It is overgrown with grass and has been abandoned for a long time.
When Zuo Wei led Guan Heng to the back garden, because she was walking too fast, she was so surprised that countless colorful wild birds flew out of the grass nest. It turned out that they regarded this place as their habitat.
Behind a bush filled with various bird nests is the thick, solid iron gate covered with rust and moss.
"Brother Guan Heng, this is right here." Zuo Wei turned to Guan Heng and said, "The teacher never let me enter the back garden before, so I don't know what is behind this iron gate."
"No matter what is inside, it is something that those arrogant mercenaries and their boss behind the scenes want to get very much." Guan Heng blinked and said, "Let's go in and confirm it now."
Zoe Wei nodded, took out the keys and tried them one by one. Finally she found a key that could fit into the keyhole, and she immediately turned it.
"Click, click." The iron door seemed to have not been opened for many years. Zuo Wei fiddled with it for a long time before unscrewing the door lock.
"Uh...hey..." But the little girl blushed and tried her best to pull the door handle, but she couldn't open the iron door.
"Forget it, let me do it." Guan Heng stepped forward and asked Zuo Wei to stand aside. He held the door handle with both hands and gave a sudden force.
