Chapter 270 Borrowing Light
It is impossible to eradicate them.
Lin Luoran soon finds that the blood-red tentacles monsters have more than one body. The whole yard is conquered by them. The roots exposed on the ground are so thick that it takes several people to surround each of them. It is unknown how deep they are under the ground.
They are fast-growing and extremely strong, which is unfavorable for the cultivators.
Does the tentacles monster have no weakness? Lin Luoran doesn’t believe it. Casting the Wind-riding Spell, she floats in the air to watch cultivators encircle and fight the tentacles monsters that keep growing. Among these cultivators, Wen Guanjing and An are the most powerful when they cooperate. She sees that the two men give up cutting the tentacles, but skillfully land at the root of the tentacles monster. When the tentacles monster is blocked by An’s figure circle, its root is suddenly cut off by Wen Guanjing’s sharp sword.
Then the tentacles dry up at the speed visible to the naked eye. Cultivators who are fighting the tentacles monster feel that they are suddenly released. When they look at Wen Guanjing and An on the ground, they understand that the two men have killed the monster together. No wonder the tentacles winding around them become dry.
People’s morale is high. Wen Guanjing and An have set an example that to kill the tentacles monsters, they have to cut off their roots.
Some cultivators have landed on the ground and struggle to move to the root of another tentacles monster. Their levels are not as high as Wen Guanjing and An’s, so they are going to kill the tentacles monster in a group of ten.
Lin Luoran doesn’t land. Floating in the air, she is still frowning. She doesn’t believe that the nasty bat tried so hard just to sent these powerless tentacles monsters.
Wen Guanjing and An are not naïve, either. They still stay in the place where the tentacles monster grew. Within two minutes, another tentacles monster falls down and turns to dry rattan. Cultivators cheer for their second victory, feeling that they have found the way to deal with tentacles monsters.
At the same time, the ground shakes again. At the place where the first tentacles monster was killed, a new tentacles monster breaks through the ground in an instant! Compared with the previous one, its body is almost one-half larger!
Some of the cultivators, who were still cheering and didn’t notice the danger, have been rolled in. The protective cover that could have protected them is instantly crushed!
It becomes stronger… Lin Luoran concludes while emitting a ray of gold light, cutting off the tentacles that wind around a female cultivator. Before she calms down, Lin Luoran pulls her up with a water rope. “You are not capable enough. You had better stay with me.”
“Thank you, Master Lin.” The female cultivator is embarra.s.sed. They complained about Lin Luoran’s ruthlessness before, but they didn’t expect that Master Lin, who seems ruthless, forgives and saves her.
Seeing that the new monster is more powerful, cultivators don’t dare cut off its root again. They have no choice but to deal with the tentacles. But they are not Lin Luoran. In this way, their Reiki will run out soon. How long can they hold on even if they have Replenis.h.i.+ng Qi Bolus?
Wen Guanjing cuts off a tentacle and then fly on a sword to Lin Luoran.
“Sister Lin, we can’t fight like this anymore. I have just observed and found that it took two minutes for another tentacles monster to grow. How about…”
“Do you mean that we cut off their roots at the same time, and then get out of here in two minutes?” In the course of fighting side by side, they have reached a tacit agreement. Before Wen Guanjing finishes his words, Lin Luoran has guessed what he is going to say.
Wen Guanjing nods, but Lin Luoran is not as happy as he expected. Instead, she says slowly, “First of all, we are not sure whether we can remove the black cloth on our heads in two minutes. Even if we can, will the bat monster and Crystal not stop our such obvious actions?”
Wen Guanjing is stunned. He is so fl.u.s.tered that he forgets that their enemies are not only these powerful tentacles monsters, but also the bat monster and the Blood Line hiding in the dark.
Lin Luoran continues, “Wen, have you noticed that no tentacles come to wind around you when you are talking with me?”
“They are afraid of your ability?” Wen Guanjing’s eyes light up.
Lin Luoran smiles mysteriously. When she puts away the luminous flower, what in front of their eyes is only the blue light of the protective cover. Then the tentacles rush over again. When Lin Luoran takes the luminous flower out again, tentacles seem so disgusted that they round the protective cover and flee.
Wen Guanjing and the female cultivator are shocked. The female cultivator asks hesitantly, “Are those tentacles monsters afraid of the luminous flower?” She turns her head and finds that these cultivators who have got luminous flowers expectedly have less difficulty in fighting monsters. So she is more convinced of her idea.
But Lin Luoran shakes her head. “What they are afraid of is not the flower. Wen, do you remember where the flowers come from?”
How can he not remember? The magnificent and unusual underground world under Kalahari Desert, the opportunity for his completion of Training Qi, the unusual animals and plants, the appalling Blood Sacrifice, the mysterious way of heaven, the disappearance of the cultivator Gathering Vitality, the woman who called herself the female saint of Jiuli Tribe, and the hot lava she directed – the impression that the hot Kalahari desert leaves Wen Guanjing is the fiery heat.
The fiery heat? Wen Guanjing feels that he has finally grasped the key point!
Yes, what the tentacles are afraid of is not the plant, but the light emitted by the plant. Growing with lava, the underground plant is full of Fire Reiki. The reason why his sword can successfully cut off the roots of the tentacles monsters is that his sword belongs to the Fire.
There is a lack of Fire in the five elements here. If it weren’t for the black curtain, he would have thought of this!
“Master Lin, what shall we do next?”
Lin Luoran smiles, “Now that they are afraid of light and fire, let’s borrow some light!”
Borrow light? How to borrow? Since there is a black curtain over their heads, of course, they need to tear the curtain. They may not be able to get out of here even if they eliminate these tentacles monsters. They have to break the dark curtain! Lin Luoran thinks that it is not just these tentacles monsters that are afraid of the light. She hands the luminous flower to the inferior female cultivator.
“Wen!”
Wen Guanjing nods solemnly. If the bat monster and the Blood Line come out, the task of dragging them will fall on him and An. Oh, and the little cultivator?
Seeing that he has understood what she means, Lin Luoran flies by the sword to the sky. She is getting closer to the black curtain. As long as they manage to buy some time, she believes that she can do it! Breaking the sky to borrow light. It sounds pretty cool.
In the attic, seeing Lin Luoran leaving the cultivators and flying higher and higher, Crystal raises her eyebrows and says, “Does she want to escape alone?”
The bat monster despises Crystal. How come that the vampire who has lived hundreds of years not be able to understand the cultivator’s intention? She is indeed stupid.
“It seems that we need to go out and cause some trouble for them.”
Crystal nods, concealing her emotions. She just had a dispute with the bat monster about how to deal with Lin Luoran.”
