After recovering from his shock, Yang Ling summoned a team of Vampire Bats and instructed them to fly cautiously over to the area, prepared to understand the situation within the hole further.
Whoosh…
Hundreds of Vampire Bats split into ten teams, taking advantage of the rubble in front of the hole to approach the sinister culvert. Compared to the Horned Bee Beasts, they were much slower when it came to short-distance sprints, but their bodies were even smaller and harder to detect. They managed to infiltrate the hole under the nervous gaze of the group. However, just as the group had thought that the Vampire Bats had successfully made it into the hole, an accident happened!
Creak…
Countless pitch-black Demonic Vines suddenly erupted out from within the hole, slicing through the air like a leather whip and instantly swatting down several hundred Vampire Bats. Their sharp stingers pierced into the body of the Vampire Bats like a dagger, then dragged them into the culvert. Some of the Demonic Vines danced around in the air, silently crushing the granite nearby and leaving behind thumb-sized holes. They instantly covered the giant rocks, which even the Giant Apes were unable to crush in holes.



My God, what kind of monsters are they?


Could the hole be filled with those terrifying Demonic Vines?

…
The group was extremely shocked when they witnessed that terrifying scene. Even the Mid-level Deities like the God of Swords Gerald and Chief Elven Priest had a grave expression on their faces. The soil and rocks on the Pure Gold Mountain was extremely sturdy, and even the Magical Beasts that learned the Law of Power such as the Giant Ape King and Dark Dragon King had been unable to create a large pit on the ground; To think that these Demonic Vines were even sturdier, able to penetrate the giant rocks without much effort.
The hardness of the vines was obvious, given that they were able to penetrate the sturdy granite instantly!

Brother Yang Ling, there’s no need to try any further. Let’s go!
Richardson shook his head bitterly as he looked at the sinister culvert,
The Demonic Vines in the hole are terrifying. They are not afraid of being drowned in water, nor do they fear fire. They are also hard beyond imagination. It is rumored that a long time ago, there was once a team of angels who charged into the culvert after getting into formation. Even though they managed to make their way into the hole forcefully, none of the members of the group managed to come out!

Even a team of battle angels were no match for the vines?
Yang Ling’s heart shook. He knit his brows as he thought hard for a solution as he looked at the immeasurably deep culvert. Originally, he had wanted to send the Giant Ape King and a group of heavily armored Ancient Siva Apes to have a try. However, he hesitated after hearing Richardson’s words.
Demonic Vines that could exterminate even a team of battle angels must have powerful battle capabilities. In fact, the Demonic Vines that charged out of the hole might just be a small fraction of their true numbers!
The soil of the Pure Gold Mountain is extremely hard, which meant that getting the spiders and groundhogs to dig their way over was not probable. The Demonic Vines are incredibly sturdy and had piercing attacks, which made sending troops like the Giant Apes and Chimeras to launch a strong offensive on land was not a great idea either, for they would have to pay a heavy price even if they achieved victory. Because of the limited height of the culvert, it was also unsuitable for the aerial units like the Dark Dragons and Twin-legged Flying Dragons to do battle. Their casualties might be even heavier than that of the land units!


What should I do?
Looking at the sinister culvert, then shifting his gaze toward the raging red river, Yang Ling could not come up with a good idea no matter how hard he thought. After clenching his teeth, he decided to put on the Ice-sealing Armor and head personally into the hole to have a look.
He did not believe that he could not defend himself against the vines with his strong physical body, along with the sturdy Ice-sealing Armor, powerful Ground Guardian, and sharp Blood Elf Dagger. Even if he was no match for them, he could at least retreat to safety using his Five-element Evasion Technique.

Sir, I’ll go with you!
The demoness was very sensitive, immediately guessing Yang Ling’s intentions after seeing him put on the Ice-sealing Armor. She volunteered herself, following closely behind Yang Ling.

That’s right. Let’s go together. We’ll stomp them onto the ground and crush them with our clubs!
The Giant Ape King, who loved to battle, did not want to lose out to the demoness. He raised his heavy obsidian club, raring to go, wanting to act as the vanguard for Yang Ling.
…
After understanding Yang Ling’s intentions, the Corpse Wizard King, Hydra, and the rest of the group all volunteered to do battle, quickly getting into formation around Yang Ling to protect him. The Demonic Vines in the culvert were terrifying and would make their scalps crawl whenever they thought about how it could instantly penetrate the granite around the area. However, no one was willing to back down.

Yang Ling, if even a team of battle angels are no match for the vines, I don’t think that you should barge into the area so recklessly!
The Chief Elven Priest was overcome with worry, advising Yang Ling not to take such a risk.

That’s right, Brother Yang Ling, the Pure Gold Sand is valuable, but your life is more important. Furthermore, no one knows if there are any Pure Gold Sand in the culvert or not. Wouldn’t it be a wasted effort if you find that there is no Pure Gold Sand in the hole?
Seeing that the demoness was going to follow Yang Ling’s plan without any hesitation, Richardson became very anxious.
If even a High-level Deity with top-notch abilities like him did not dare barge recklessly into the area, wouldn’t the demoness who was just a Domain Expert be asking for death if she followed Yang Ling into the culvert?



Relax, I am just going to go in and understand the situation. I’ll move alone and will be able to retreat if there’s any danger rapidly!
Yang Ling spoke as he took out his lethal Blood Elf Dagger, then ordered the Corpse Wizard King and the rest of the group to stay behind and await orders. He then formed a Wizard Seal before teleporting outward. As a precaution, he quickly cast Ground Guardian.
Creak…
Yang Ling had just arrived at the entrance of the hole and had not had the chance to take a closer look when he became the target of the attack of countless Demonic Vines. In that instant, the sturdy vines lashed onto his body like a steel whip. It was a torrential rain of attacks, like an endless, violent tempest. Some of the vines even thrust toward Yang Ling head-on like a harpoon, attempting to pierce through his chest.
Thump, thump, thump…
The Ice-sealing Throne Armor released a brutal chill, blocking off the torrential assault of the Demonic Vines along with the Ground Guardian that had immense defensive capabilities. Yang Ling heaved a sigh of relief. He let out a violent shout before unleashing a fierce counterattack, his sharp Blood Elf Dagger turning into a flash of red light as it sliced through the air, cleaving off a section of a pitch-black Demonic Vine.
The Demonic Vines were extremely hard, but the Blood Elf Dagger was not an ordinary item. It had absorbed the Blood Essence of countless people and Magical Beasts. The entire dagger was blood-red, and it let out thick waves of a metallic stench, as well as streaks of sharp red blade aura. From far away, it looked like a red dancing ember!
One, two…
Soon, Yang Ling had gathered a pile of Demonic Vine stingers by his side. The stingers were still twitching continuously as if they were a venomous snake that had just been sliced into two. It had amazing vitality. Some of them even tried to crawl back into the culvert. It seemed as though they also had immense intelligence and spiritual qualities, much to Yang Ling’s surprise.

They sure live up to their reputations as Demonic Vines, to be able to live on even after being sliced into two!
Yang Ling waved his hand and sliced apart a Demonic Vine that was attempting to attack his right eye, then walked quickly forward, defending himself as he observed the situation within the culvert.
The entrance of the hole was not large, but it was a completely different world inside. It was pitch-black and endless. The middle of the hole was occupied by the murky river, while the sides were wide riverbeds, covered in rocks of varying sizes. The crackling sounds of water rushing past the soil echoed in the culvert as countless Demonic Vines swarmed toward him from all directions.


The interior of the culvert was very dark, but Yang Ling quickly saw his surroundings using his exceptional vision. Under the dark red soil were streaks of bright light. There were even small edges of the ore protruding out of several areas around him. They were completely red, extremely different from an ordinary pebble. This was a valuable mine of Pure Gold Sand.
Just as he had expected, there was indeed a Pure Gold Sand mine within the culvert. The only question now is how many ores did this mine contain!
Creak…
Seeing that they were unable to crush Yang Ling’s Ground Guardian and Ice-sealing Armor, the Demonic Vines quickly changed their strategy, coiling around Yang Ling like poisonous snakes as they attempted to strangle Yang Ling to death. Their sharp stingers immediately turned into flexible yet sturdy ropes, once again shocking Yang Ling. Slicing down with his sharp Blood Elf Dagger, it was as if he had hit a soft sponge. There was no way for him to exert any force!
Not good!
Yang Ling’s pupils dilated when he saw the strange vines covering the entire area, instinctively pulling his body back in retreat. Unexpectedly, a large mass of Demonic Vines had appeared behind him, blocking off his path of retreat. He had just wanted to teleport out using a Wizard Seal when he got entangled in the horde of vines.
Vines that could entangle people like a snake could?
At the critical moment, the familiar sensation made Yang Ling think back to the first time he had encountered the Bloodsucking Vines. Thinking quickly, he rapidly summoned the Bloodsucking Vines from within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. The number of Bloodsucking Vines did not pale in comparison to that of the Demonic Vines. In fact, there might be even more Bloodsucking Vines than their counterparts!
Creak…
The Bloodsucking Vines were not as strong as the Demonic Vines in terms of hardness and offensive capabilities, but they were sturdier and had higher numbers. More importantly, the Bloodsucking Vines also had a trump card — Devour. Their tentacle-like appendages had a sharp stinger. They pierced their stingers fiercely into the bodies of the Demonic Vines and manically started to absorb their energy.


Bloodsuckers against demons!
In that instant, vines danced in every corner of the culvert as the two types of vine coiled against each other. They entangled each other as if they were two venomous snakes fighting for their lives. The fierce attacks of the Demonic Vines could instantly pierce through the bodies of the Bloodsucking Vines. However, they were covered from root to tip by the Bloodsucking Vines, and could not use their strength even if they wanted to.
A fierce snake, no matter how sharp their venomous fangs or how poisonous they were, would not be able to display their strength if they were rendered unable to move!
Chitter…
With the wave of Yang Ling’s hand, a large number of Red-haired Tarantulas suddenly appeared within the culvert. They shot out strands of sturdy web, tightly trapping the Demonic Vines that were trying to retaliate. One strand of the web might not have too big of an effect, being able to be broken with a little force. However, the strength of tens of thousands of webs piled together was immense!
At the start, the many Bloodsucking Vines had been at a disadvantage. However, as Yang Ling summoned an endless stream of Bloodsucking Vines and after the Bloodsucking Vine King, a Thousand-handed Blood Vine, appeared, the Bloodsucking Vines gradually got into a stalemate with the other party with the help of the large mass of Red-haired Tarantulas. In fact, they were gradually getting the upper hand.
There was a massive number of Demonic Vines in the culvert, but the number of Bloodsucking Vines in the entire Wizard Pagoda’s Space was on a completely different level. If one Bloodsucking Vine was not a match for its opponent, then Yang Ling would send ten, or even a hundred, completely sealing off the other party as they absorbed the opponent’s energy and vitality.
The flexibility and devouring abilities of the Bloodsucking Vines were displayed to its fullest extent, suppressing the sturdy Demonic Vines!
