Chapter 727: Blame Me
Early the next morning, Liu Qian noticed that the two Earth-shattering Ice Bears had disappeared. He asked in puzzlement, “Young hero s.h.i.+, where are your two Earth-shattering Ice Bears?”
“Sitting on their backs all day is really boring. I plan to stroll around by myself, so I put them into the Spirit Beast Pouch,” Yun Chujiu said indifferently.
Liu Qian and the others had looks of envy, jealousy, and hatred on their faces. ‘You don’t know your fortune when you have it. How we wish we had such a spirit pet that could be used as a transportation tool!’
The next few days went smoothly. When they encountered the demonic beasts, Yun Chujiu naturally hid behind them and let Liu Qian and the others do the work. Although Liu Qian and the others were dissatisfied, they could not say anything since Yun Chujiu saved their lives.
When they arrived at the Spirit Sapping Forest, Liu Qian said in puzzlement, “Young hero s.h.i.+, I wonder if it was normal when you pa.s.sed through this Spirit Sapping Forest? When we pa.s.sed by, these spirit sapping vines turned into this half-dead appearance. It’s really strange.”
Yun Chujiu blinked her eyes. “When we pa.s.sed by, it was also like this. Could it be that these vines aren’t like this usually?”
As soon as Yun Chujiu finished her sentence, those vines began to tremble!
‘That little devil who drank our poison is here again! So scary!
‘This little devil is lying through his teeth!
‘You were clearly the one who sucked all the poison out of our bodies, yet you still pretend to be innocent?! It’s really too hateful!
‘I really want to beat her to death!’
“Young hero s.h.i.+, why are these spirit sapping vines trembling? Could it be that something has happened?” Liu Qian was already scared out of his wits and was panicking.
“It’s nothing. I guess they’re more excited when they see someone coming! When we pa.s.sed by here, nothing happened. I even went up the tree to pick wild fruits to eat!” Yun Chujiu said with a smile.
A Goshawk Sect disciple curled his lips. “Hmph, are you bragging? It’s fine if the vines are on the ground. Once they start climbing the tree, they will start absorbing the spiritual power of the people. The light ones would lose their spiritual power, and the heavy ones would lose their lives. How could you dare to go up the tree to pick wild fruits to eat?”
Yun Chujiu glanced at him, then she tapped the ground with the tip of her feet and leaped up a tree with a whoosh, breaking a branch full of red wild fruits. Then, she jumped down. “See? Nothing happened! There’s no such thing as absorbing spiritual power like you said!”
Liu Qian and the others were dumbfounded. Could it be that this Spirit Sapping Forest really stopped absorbing spiritual power?
The disciple who had mocked Yun Chujiu earlier saw that Yun Chujiu was enjoying the sweet fruit and was a little greedy. He imitated Yun Chujiu and jumped onto a tree. Before he could break the branches of the wild fruit, a spirit sapping vine next to him tied him tightly to the tree!
The vine thought to itself, ‘d.a.m.n it!! I don’t dare to mess with that little devil, and do you think I don’t dare to mess with you?!
‘I can absorb all of your spiritual power and replenish my power!’
That disciple was so scared that he cried out, “Sect master! Help! Help!”
Liu Qian was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. “Aren’t you just looking for trouble for no reason?!”
However, they could not just leave him to die. Everyone used their spiritual power to cut off a part of the vine, and finally saved that disciple who already had half his spiritual power absorbed.
The disciple glared at Yun Chujiu fiercely. Yun Chujiu spread out her hands and said, “It’s not like I asked you to climb the tree. You’re the one who’s greedy. Are you blaming me?”
The disciple was already a little weak after losing half of his spiritual power. After being angered by Yun Chujiu, he choked and fainted.
