After summoning a large number of Bloodsucking Vines and spiders, Yang Ling heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the Demonic Vines being rendered unable to move. He bent down to pick up a Pure Gold Sand Ore that was about the size of a palm.
It was cold to touch like most metal, and even though it was merely the size of a palm, it was several times heavier than a steel ore of roughly the same size. It was dark red all around, speckled with blemishes of various sizes. It harbored a good amount of impurities. However, compared to the sand-like Pure Gold Sand in the water of the river, its purity was much higher, making it several times more valuable.
One, two…
Soon, Yang Ling managed to dig out Pure Gold Sand Ores of similar sizes from under the ground. From the looks of things, there seemed to be a decent yield of Pure Gold Sand, just that the quality is a little inferior from the impurities that were hard to separate. However, he would have to investigate things further to see if there are any ores of higher quality deeper into the culvert.

Sir, we are here!




Charge, quick, charge into the culvert quickly!

…
The Giant Ape King, Dark Dragon King, and the rest of the group roared as they charged into the area, filled with bloodlust.
Seeing that Yang Ling had not come out for the longest time and hearing the piercing shrieks coming from within the culvert, the rest of the group had not been able to wait any longer. They had charged into the culvert under the command of the Corpse Wizard King. The God of Swords Gerald, Chief Elven Priest, Richardson, and the rest of the group had also charged in, afraid that Yang Ling had met with any misfortune.

My God, this…

After rapidly charging into the culvert, the group was shocked to see the horde of vines dancing in the air. Even though they had already known that there was a large number of Demonic Vines in the culvert, they would never have expected that their numbers would be this huge!

Stop, those are our Bloodsucking Vines!
The Corpse Wizard King shouted, pulling back the Giant Ape King, who had raised his heavy obsidian club and was prepared to charge forward.
The abilities of the Corpse Wizard King was not exceptional compared to the rest of the Magical Beast Army, but as a leader who had once commanded an army of a million soldiers, he was much calmer on the battlefield compared to the Giant Ape King and Dark Dragon King. He had quickly realized that the vines by Yang Ling’s side were different, seeing the Blood Sacs that could be used to brew wine.

That’s right. These are our Bloodsucking Vines!
Yang Ling smiled, instructing the many Bloodsucking Vines and spiders to charge forward, prepared to explore the deeper areas of the culvert.
Whoosh…


The Thousand-handed Blood Vine charged to the front like a giant octopus, leading the horde of Bloodsucking Vines to deal with the Demonic Vines along the way. The Tarantula King led the many spiders and followed closely behind, spewing out webs that could render the Demonic Vines immobile.
The stingers on the end of the Bloodsucking Vines were incredibly sharp. They pierced it into the bodies of the Demonic Vines with the help of the many spiders, manically absorbing their energy and vitality. Soon, the sturdy Demonic Vines fell limply onto the ground, withering rapidly. On the contrary, the many Bloodsucking Vines seemed to have ingested a great tonic, becoming filled with energy as they engaged in a fierce battle. They killed their way forward under the command of the Thousand-handed Blood Vine!

This… This works?
Richardson was incredibly shocked when he witnessed this alarming scene.
Many people had wanted to scout the culvert over the millennia in an attempt to look for the precious Pure Gold Sand Ores. However, most of them had not managed to return. Later, even powerful fighters who had abilities at the peak of a High-level Deity would not dare to approach the area easily. To think that Yang Ling would be able to summon this many strange Bloodsucking Vines and spiders from out of nowhere to kill his way into the culvert!

Of course, as long as my lord takes action personally, there’s nothing that can’t be solved!
The demoness pushed out her already busty chest proudly. Under her thin shirt, her perky peaks wobbled like two little bunnies, almost causing Richardson to bleed from his nose.

Sala, which family does your lord come from?
Richardson was extremely curious about Yang Ling’s identity. Despite having wandered outside for such a long time, he had never seen such a powerful Summoner or Beast Tamer. It was already decent if a person managed to summon two to three Magical Beasts. To think that Yang Ling would be able to summon a blanketing mass of Magical Beasts!

Hmph, fool, what good would it be to you if I told you?
The demoness let out a sly smile after rolling her eyes at Richardson.
She had felt an unprecedented sense of happiness when she was with Richardson, having felt the bliss and joy of being a woman. However, the Wizard Pagoda’s Space was Yang Ling’s greatest secret and the place where the Magical Beast lived their lives. She would never reveal it to outsiders, no matter the circumstance.

Alright, I’ll give you anything you want!
Looking at the mischievous demoness, seeing her slender eyelashes and sweet dimples, Richardson became excited. In that instant, all he had in his eyes was the naughty beauty. He had fallen head over heels in love for the alluring demoness.
…


Unlike Richardson, whose heart had been stolen by the demoness, the Chief Elven Priest was overcome with worry. Even though the many Bloodsucking Vines and spiders seemed to be unparalleled, she, for some reason, had a sense of foreboding. She felt as though something terrifying would happen at any moment.
Pure Gold Sand was extremely precious and would have been pillaged by the people who had been here long ago if there was no powerful Magical Beast guarding the culvert. If what Richardson said was right, countless Divine-level Experts had died in this culvert over the millennia, with none of them managing to get close, much less easily kill their way into the culvert.
It was not normal that Yang Ling would be able to stomp his way into the culvert with just a bunch of Bloodsucking Vines and spiders. Either the powerful monster guarding the culvert had left a long time ago, or…
The Chief Elven Priest became more uneasy the more she thought about it, afraid that the monster had set up a trap in front. She flew to Yang Ling’s side,
Yang Ling, be careful, the other party might have set up a terrifying ambush deep within the culvert!

Ambush?
A shred of unease flashed past Yang Ling’s heart as he looked at the Chief Elven Priest, who had keen senses.
Even though the Bloodsucking Vines were the natural nemesis of the Demonic Vines and had managed to fend off the retaliation of the Demonic Vines time and time again with the help of the tarantulas by rendering unable to move, but them managing to kill their way into the culvert seemed a little too easy. It felt as though they had not encountered any strong obstruction. Unlike how it was at the start, several of the Demonic Vines were just floating around in the distance like a spirit, no longer swarming toward Yang Ling and the group. It was as if they were plotting a scheme.
Trap, ambush, or…
Yang Ling felt that something was off the more he thought about it. He had just wanted to order the Bloodsucking Vines and spiders to stop when he suddenly heard a creak as a large group of Demonic Vines appeared in front of him. Each one of the Demonic Vines was a dozen meters long, their bodies covered in tentacle-like appendages. They danced around in the air like giant octopi. Unlike the Demonic Vines he encountered just now, these vines had joints on their bodies like bamboo. They seemed to be giant, mutated Demonic Vines.

Not good, retreat, retreat quickly!



Yang Ling anxiously gave an order when he saw the strange mutated Demonic Vines, instructing the group to retreat quickly. Unexpectedly, after a few creaks were heard, a large number of mutated Demonic Vines suddenly emerged from under the ground and water, instantly surrounding the group.

Blade Storm, charge out with me, quick!
The God of Swords Gerald was highly experienced. He had kept up his guard along the way and struck decisively after letting out a violent roar. He flew outward, attacking the many mutated Demonic Vines that were blocking the way of the group, unleashing a barrage of sharp daggers.
Creak…
The barrage of swords sliced through the air, but to the surprise of the group, they were unable to deal any damage to the many Demonic Vines, at the very most leaving a few faint skid marks on the bodies of the vines. An ordinary Demonic Vine was hard enough. To think that these mutated Demonic Vines were even harder. They were impenetrable!

Thunderbolt Windstorm!
After recovering from his shock, Richardson reacted quickly, clenching his teeth as he pounced forward with his large sword. He sliced apart a dozen Demonic Vines in one strike, leaving ghastly marks on the hard ground.
The abilities of a peak High-level Deity were exceptional indeed!

Go, attack together, quickly!


Careful, don’t fight them head-on!

…
The Corpse Wizard King led the rest of the group in backing up the powerful Richardson, hoping to be able to charge out of the area forcefully. Unexpectedly, the mutated Demonic Vines were just too hard. Slicing down with his blade, the Corpse Wizard King felt his arm turn numb while the pitch-black Demonic Vine remained undamaged. They were instantly put in a passive situation.


The speedy demoness and Corpse Wizard King had it better, able to avoid the attacks of the many Demonic Vines time and time again by dodging from side to side. The Giant Ape King had a little more trouble. He had been unable to avoid the attacks in time and had his thigh pierced by a thumb-sized Demonic Vine, blood flowing incessantly. In front of the sturdy Demonic Vines, his heavy armor was completely ineffective.

Not good!

Seeing that the Giant Ape King had trouble moving and immediately getting surrounded by the many Demonic Vines, Yang Ling’s pupils dilated as he teleported outward. His sharp Blood Elf Dagger danced in the air, saving the bleeding Giant Ape King at the critical moment.

Quick, I’ll order the Bloodsucking Vines to open a path, follow behind me, and charge out of the area!
Seeing more and more mutated Demonic Vines swarming out from deep within the culvert, Yang Ling hesitated no longer, keeping the relatively slower tarantulas while leaving behind a portion of Blooduscking Vines to guard their backs. He then commanded the Thousand-handed Blood Vine in leading the many Bloodsucking Vines to open a path outward, forcefully tearing apart a tunnel within the embattlement of the Demonic Vines.
At the critical moment, the talents of the Bloodsucking Vines had once again played a key role. They tangled up the Demonic Vines that had sharp attacks tightly, giving the group valuable time and opportunities!
Whoosh…
After charging out of the embattlement of mutated Demonic Vines, the group did not dare to stop, quickly charging out of the terrifying culvert. Only half of the Bloodsucking Vines managed to follow them out of the culvert. Even the powerful Thousand-handed Blood Vine was covered in several wounds.
Roar…
The group had not managed to catch their breaths when a furious roar came from within the cave. Following that, a massive monster charged out, consumed in bloodlust.
Just like the champion of the Bloodsucking Vines, the Thousand-handed Blood Vine, this monster had a mass of appendages. However, strangely, the end of its appendage was an ugly human head. Its tentacle-like appendages pressed forcefully against the ground as it immediately bounced up into the air like a rubber ball. From afar, it looked like a giant leaping octopus. Its body was several times larger than that of the Thousand-handed Blood Vine, and the reach of its tentacles covered all of the area within the radius of a hundred meters!
Demonic Vine King?
The group gasped after seeing the monster that had evolved to look neither like a human nor a beast and sensed the pulsing ripples of energy coming from within its body.
