Chapter 959【956】Plague Cat Girl

Thorny Vine Realm.

This is a small world dominated by vines. It belongs to the same small world group as the Stone Plain World, which is the so-called "Luanshan World Group".

Just three days ago.

Mao Xiaomiao used the string of law projection given by her master to make a cross-border journey alone, leaving the Shiyuan world and arriving in this world.

at this time.

The cat-eared girl was walking with light steps through a vine forest, looking around with curiosity on her face.

According to her past knowledge, vines either grow on trees or climb on stone walls. Without support, they cannot grow too tall.

at this time.

What she witnessed now completely changed her perception.

By this time.

Besides.

This is a forest of vines that eat meat and drink blood.

A large hole half a meter in diameter suddenly burst out on the surface of the vine.

The spiral vines disintegrated one after another and burrowed into the ground like snakes.

A big tree disappeared, leaving only a large number of skeletons in its place.

If an animal accidentally bumps into it, it will definitely be poked with bloody holes all over its body.

Not just this kind of vine tree, most of the vines in this world are covered with spikes.

It shook violently for a while, but still stood firmly.

The spiral tree trunk, which was more than 150 meters high, began to shake violently.

Subsequently.

She looked around for a while and marveled: "This plant is really a genius architect!"

This is undoubtedly a defensive measure.

Walked a few more steps.

The cat-eared girl suddenly stopped, stretched out a white and delicate finger, and lightly poked a vine tree next to her.

The interior of the spiral pipe is not empty, but has a rather complex structure, which strengthens the overall strength of the vine tree.

The leaves of the vine rub against each other, making a sound like waves.

This vine tree that had been tortured seemed to come to life and started to move all of a sudden.

The top of the tree trunk swayed even more than twenty meters, and it seemed that it might fall down at any time.

obviously.

Cat Xiaomiao looked back.

I saw thick vines, tightly entangled together, spiraling upward, easily rising to a height of 100 meters.

She didn't stay long, walked quickly forward, and quickly disappeared into the vine forest.

"Wow~"

Observe carefully.

"Snapped!"

After just a dozen breaths.

She had already sensed that the disappearing vine tree had appeared in another place.

The surface of each vine is covered with hard and sharp spikes.

The power attached to this finger spread to the entire vine tree.

The cat-eared girl murmured in a low voice: "It's such an interesting forest."

The diameter of this "spiral pipe" is generally more than 20 meters at the bottom. As the spiral pipe gradually rises, the diameter gradually becomes smaller.

but.

the other side.

The little cat girl looked up and muttered: "It's actually stronger than I expected!"

Despite the lack of a strong wooden frame for support, the vines still reached a height comparable to that of a tree thanks to their exquisite structure.

This vine tree stubbornly resists the torment of external forces.

And these strange trees formed by vines are not harmless creatures for humans and animals, but a group of ferocious hunters.

There are a lot of corrosion marks left on the surface of each skeleton, as if it has been eroded by too strong acid.

Cat Xiaomiao strolled among them, as if he had entered the kingdom of giants.

They were kept inside the spiral pipe, and were revealed after the vines retracted underground.

This is apparently a "free to move" forest.

If attacked, or for hunting needs, the vine tree can quickly move to other places.

This unique characteristic can't help but make Kitten Girl feel like her horizons have been opened.

As the most loyal maid of her master, Mao Xiaomiao immediately reported her personal thoughts to her master:

"Thanks to the master for giving me the projection string, I can see such a unique scenery."

no respond.

Cat Xiaomiao curled her lips.

She knew that her master was tired of hearing her flattery, so she didn't bother to pay attention to him.

The cat-eared lady was not discouraged and reported about the vine forest again: "Master, I discovered a kind of vine in the thorn vine world..."

She talked for a long time, describing in detail what she had just discovered.

This time.

The kitten girl finally waited for the owner's response: "This thing has certain research value. Maybe it can be used as a reference. Go and collect some samples."

She wagged her tail proudly and muttered in her heart: "I know this trick will be effective for the master."

Mao Xiaomiao responded excitedly: "I understand!"

She then asked a question: "Master, do the various vines in the thorn vine world have the potential to fight against the swarm of catastrophic insects?"

Cheng Han pondered for a few seconds before replying: "They can cause a certain amount of damage to the insect swarm, but they will definitely be eaten by the insects in the end."

Kitten Girl let out a disappointed "Oh".

She very much hopes to make another big discovery.

Just like the previous discovery of the giant stone forest in the Shiyuan world, it helped the owner successfully ignite the divine fire of law and provided more assistance to the owner.

Mao Xiaomiao immediately became excited again: "I will carefully examine this world and look for species that have the potential to fight against the catastrophic insect swarm."

Cheng Han said "hmm" in approval.

Subsequently.

The link is broken.

The cat-eared girl waved her fist vigorously and encouraged herself: "I have to work hard!"

She performed a dodge and disappeared from the vine forest in an instant.

There was only a faint gray light left on the spot, hanging in the air and circulating uncertainly, with faint dark waves rising from it.

Subsequently.

Within a radius of one kilometer.

I saw only vine trees, with gray and white patches gradually appearing on the surface, and the texture also changed subtly, looking a bit like stone.

Like a virus, gray and white patches spread rapidly to other parts of the body.

Thirty seconds later.

These vine trees turned completely gray-white from head to toe, and the skin of the vines, the spikes, and the leaves all turned into stone.

It's not just the appearance that has changed.

Even the unique smell of plants disappeared, replaced by the unique coldness of rocks.

In other words.

They literally turn into rocks.

Previously, there were some small sounds in this forest, such as the stroking of green leaves and the gentle chirping of insects, but now it was as quiet as a dead zone.

On the edge of the dead zone.

"puff!"

Just hear a soft sound.

A thinner vine suddenly emerged from the ground and accidentally broke into the dead zone.

next moment.

Something happened.

A touch of gray suddenly appeared on the surface of this vine, and then spread rapidly.

The vines sensed something was wrong and quickly shrank toward the ground, trying to escape from this area.

however.

Too late.

Only a moment passed.

The vine turned into a stone vine, sticking motionless to the ground.

but.

It's not over yet. The gray-white color is like a plague, slowly spreading towards a wider area.

All vines that were contaminated turned into stone within a short period of time.

The strangest thing is that even if the vine tree senses the danger and takes the initiative to cut off the gray-stained vines, it still doesn't help.

The other parts of the vine tree still turned gray one after another, and then the entire vine tree turned into a stone sculpture.

Five minutes flew by.

The vine forest with a radius of fifty kilometers has completely turned into a strange stone forest.

And then.

The gray-white color that symbolizes death has finally slowed down in its spread.

The vine trees further away, sensing something was wrong, disintegrated one after another and moved to other places.

View from the sky.

There is a wave of "migration" in this forest.

An obvious isolation zone has appeared between the petrified forest and the vine forest, and its area has been growing rapidly.

the other side.

Mao Xiaomiao observed the changes in the vine forest through secret methods.

The little kitten girl shook her tail excitedly, with a look of wonder on her face: "The power given by the master is so powerful!"

Previously, Cheng Han successfully ignited the divine fire of law, so he gave a ray of divine fire to the cat-eared lady to test the power of the divine fire.

This is necessary.

From igniting the divine fire to condensing the divine essence, it is not only a process of tempering oneself, but also a process of exploring the origin of the divine fire and then clarifying the path to the divine seal.

Since it is "exploration", it is natural to try a lot and cause damage everywhere.

And a mere wisp of divine flame turned a large area of ​​forest into a stone forest. This kind of power far exceeded the level of Xuandu and firmly reached the level of gods.

The cat-eared girl experienced the power of divine power for the first time, and of course she was extremely excited.

this moment.

Cat Xiaomiao watched the large area of ​​gray spread, and muttered with a sudden look on his face: "No wonder the owner named it 'Grey Plague'."

She didn't quite understand just now. It was obviously a divine power of the stone spirit system, but why was it called "plague"?

Now that she understood it completely, she felt that the name was so appropriate.

The cat-eared girl thought for a while and sent another message to her master: "Master, from today on, I will be your plague messenger."

Still no response.

Kittygirl doesn't care either.

She put her hands on her hips and said "meow" happily: "I am a powerful plague messenger!"

*

The first appearance of the Gray Plague was like a stone falling onto the water, quickly triggering a series of events.

Half a day later.

A group of creatures with six legs, covered in spiked vine armor, quickly passed through the vine forest and cautiously approached the isolation zone.

They are the intelligent race of the thorn vine world - the vine monsters.

The most famous feature of vine monsters is not how powerful they are, but their peculiar reproduction method.

Although they are also creatures of flesh and blood, they are not viviparous or egg-laying.

But - planted.

Just like planting trees and grass.

After the male and female vine monsters have done indescribable things, the latter can expel multiple life vine seeds.

This kind of vine has the same characteristics as a seed. Plant it in the soil, water it and fertilize it regularly, and the vine will turn into a strange vine tree.

The newborn vine monster will begin to breed in the center of the trunk.

About a year later, when the vine monster reaches the juvenile stage, it will wake up, break open the trunk of the tree, and emerge.

Also.

The vine monsters are a very cruel and easy-to-kill race. The "fertilizer" they provide to the vines are often living creatures.

After these prey are captured, they will be buried alive directly under the vine monster tree, with only their heads exposed.

The roots of the strange vine tree will penetrate into the prey's body and greedily absorb the flesh and blood of the prey.

The prey usually does not die immediately, but suffers extreme pain for several days to more than ten days before taking its last breath.

At this moment.

The leader, a vine monster, stood outside the isolation zone, observing the petrified forest with four eyes.

A few seconds passed.

The leader of the vine monster suddenly moved.

"Woo~"

A strange hissing sound came from its mouth, and an extraordinary wave surged in its body.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Dozens of black thorny vines burst out of the ground in an instant, only entangling five vine monsters.

There was a slight commotion among the vine monsters, but it soon subsided.

The eyes of the tied vine monsters flashed with fear, but they had no courage to resist.

Because the vine monsters are a very violent race.

It is very common for upper-level vine monsters to use brutal methods to deal with lower-level vine monsters.

"Woo~"

The leader of the vine monster shouted again, seeming to be issuing an order.

Subsequently.

It waved its arms vigorously.

A dozen vines swung vigorously, throwing them towards the petrified forest like throwing stones.

The five vine monsters flew over a hundred meters in the air and landed heavily in the isolation zone.

Originally, this place was a piece of soft soil, and the ground was full of nutrient-rich humus.

However, due to the gray plague, a large number of stones appeared out of thin air in this area.

Several vine monsters stood up and stood there in fear, not daring to enter the petrified forest.

With their primitive instincts of life, they have sensed that there is a very terrifying force lingering in the petrified forest.

The leader of the vine monster's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his thick right hand was slightly raised.

A green light flashed past, and a sharp vine gun suddenly appeared in its hand.

The leader waved his right hand vigorously, and the vine gun flashed away, with a shrill whistling sound, and hit a vine monster like lightning.

"boom!"

The vine monster exploded.

This is an explosion in the physical sense.

The dark green vine armor shell, mixed with a large number of flesh and blood fragments, covered a large area and flew as far as more than fifty meters.

no doubt.

This is done as a warning - if you don't move forward, you will die!

The other four vine monsters were frightened and quickly ran towards the gray forest on their six legs, fearing that they would fall behind and be killed by the leader.

Ten seconds later.

These test subjects successfully passed through the isolation zone and officially entered the petrified forest.

They behave very carefully, always walking around the petrified trees, never getting close to any petrified tree, and their progress is as slow as a snail.

The leader roared in annoyance, and opened his mouth to urge: "Woo~"

This is ordering them to speed up, go deep into the petrified forest as soon as possible, and initially explore the situation inside.

The four vine monsters did not dare to disobey, so they had no choice but to speed up and enter the depths of the forest.

A quarter of an hour later.

The guinea pig is back.

The leader then led people into the forest to conduct a detailed search for the cause of the petrified forest.

Unfortunately, they found nothing.

Three hours later.

The leader returned to his tribe with a group of men.

That night.

A big riot broke out.

Thousands of vine monsters in the entire tribe were all horrified to find that gray and white patches appeared on their bodies and were slowly spreading.

Late at night.

The tribe fell completely silent.

The vine monsters all turned into lifelike stone sculptures.

The scene above.

All fell into the eyes of Cat Xiaomiao.

The cat-eared girl snorted disdainfully: "Ignorant vine monsters, you dare to take refuge in the swarm of catastrophic insects. Do you think I can't recognize your aura?"

She sighed a little worriedly: "The power of the insect swarm has penetrated into this world. It is estimated that a war will break out in this world group soon."
