Chapter 81 Blood Vine Corpse Tree

Simply speaking in terms of enhancing individual strength, Wang Ting very much wanted to exchange for the Vine Spider Spine or vine demon skin.

Both of them were excellent traits for stacking individual combat power; one enhanced self-healing ability, and the other enhanced defensive capability.

If the two could be stacked together, it would be even more perfect.

Super-strong defense combined with continuous recovery, plus a Bloodthirsty Poison Web that constantly unleashed toxin erosion and blood-sucking recovery when facing encirclement, would turn Wang Ting into an unyielding, unkillable monster on the battlefield.

But that was only an assumption under the best conditions, and it could only be realized when Wang Ting had enough monster points.

While enhancing individual strength was certainly important, Wang Ting also needed to elevate the strength of his subordinates and ensure that Plant Control could still function after leaving Vine Town.

Wang Ting had behaved very strongly within Vine Town.

Vibration Perception gave him perception capabilities far exceeding those of monsters, and Plant Control gave him the ability to perceive the environment and drive vines to fight using vines.

All of this stemmed from the fact that there were a large number of vines in Vine Town, allowing him to effortlessly spawn and control them as excellent tools for launching attacks.

But he knew that once he walked out of Vine Town and left Outpost Camp, the plants on this wasteland would be very few and far between.

Even if there were any, they would only be low shrubs like seabuckthorn, which were simply not enough for him to control and use in battle.

Wang Ting did not want to cripple his own martial arts, so Vine Core Space naturally became his new choice, allowing him to project the vines inside the space anytime and anywhere, catching enemies off guard.

With such a means, even if he went to the black market for transactions, he wouldn't need to worry too much.

As for the other thing, the Blood Vine Corpse Tree, it was already in Wang Ting's exchange plan.

Monster corpses piled up like mountains in the camp, and there were already hundreds of them just inside the corpse pit.

If he didn't exchange for it soon to resolve all these monster corpses, I'm afraid the corpse pit wouldn't be able to hold them anymore, and by then, other problems would arise due to rot and the like.

The seed of the Blood Vine Corpse Tree looked very much like a red heart. After being exchanged, it sank deep into Wang Ting's consciousness, enveloped by a bubble-like light film.

The power of the Vine Core Space trait poured into Wang Ting's body, and a dark green crystal core, seeming both real and illusory, existed deep within his consciousness.

Extraordinary factors and mental power intersected within it, just like extended meridians.

Within this Vine Core was that magical vine space, closely linked to his consciousness.

As his consciousness continuously perceived it, a completely white square space surrounded by light walls gradually formed, with a length, width, and height of twenty meters. There was no soil in the space, but vines could grow freely within it and might undergo mutations.

Wang Ting intercepted a section of vine and placed it in his hand; with a thought, that section of vine appeared in the Vine Core Space.

The vine took root where it landed, growing many tentacle-like root systems that pierced into the white walls, and then continuously grew, branching out and spreading toward the entire space.

Wang Ting looked in surprise at the speed at which the vines spread. Without needing his urging, the growth rate imparted to the vines by the Vine Core Space itself was already fast enough, at least ten times that of normal vine growth, spreading several meters in a short time.

After the exchange was completed, Wang Ting went to the previously excavated corpse pit at the first moment.

The corpse pit was right next to the residential area stronghold, especially close to the farm.

Wang Ting had specially instructed that there must be very few things around this place, and the surface must be cleaned up.

The huge deep pit was piled high with the remains of the Parasitic Fungus Vine. Apart from the Parasitic Fungus Vine, there were also quite a few remains of the Vine Parasite Corpse. Corpses were piled together, emitting a heavy smell of blood and rot.

With a thought, Wang Ting took out the seed of the Blood Vine Corpse Tree from deep within his consciousness, and then threw it onto the pile of corpses.

The seed of the Blood Vine Corpse Tree sensed the abnormal monster corpses around it. It remained silent for a few seconds, and then began to emit a faint red light, much like the red light brewed by light passing through viscous blood.

The heart-like seed began to beat.

About half a minute passed, and the seed split open. Red rhizomes emerged from inside, looking like intricate blood vessels. Thorns grew on the rhizomes, and in an instant, they took root on the remains of the Parasitic Fungus Vine.

Visible to the naked eye, through these rhizomes, the Parasitic Fungus Vine remains beneath it gradually shriveled up, as if they had been hollowed out by someone.

The seed of the Blood Vine Corpse Tree began to continuously root, from 1 meter, 2 meters, 3 meters————all the way spreading its root system to the entire corpse pit.

By the time the root system gradually spread everywhere, about half an hour had passed.

Then a crack split open at the top of the seed, and a dark red seedling grew out from it.

The vine seedling grew extremely fast. Just two hours later, it had risen from the ground like a vine tree, forming a bright-colored blood-red vine with a thickness of 10 cm.

Thus a night passed, and when Wang Ting came to look at the Blood Vine Corpse Tree again, it had grown to a height of 5 meters and was about 30 centimeters thick.

On the main trunk of the Blood Vine Corpse Tree, a large number of vine branches split off, presenting a dark red color throughout. Viewed from afar, it looked like swaying human limbs.

"What is this thing?"

Such a strange vine tree appeared in the residential area stronghold. As the person primarily in charge, Feng Bo naturally had already received the news.

He knew this was a vine planted by Wang Ting. At this time, seeing the drained Parasitic Fungus Vine remains under its root system, everyone instantly understood what Wang Ting had asked them to transport the remains back for earlier.

A vine tree that devoured corpses was something they had never heard of before. Could such a peculiar plant be related to the blood vine fruit?

In fact, Feng Bo was not the only one who came over. Ren Chuan, Dong Hu, Xiang Nan, Xu Yan, and others—almost everyone in the Guard Team who was not out on a mission—gathered around, curiously sizing up the plant.

Standing in front of the corpse pit, Wang Ting perceived the state of the blood vine tree through the two traits of Plant Control and Plant Growth.

Hundreds of remains of the Parasitic Fungus Vine and Vine Parasite Corpse had already been absorbed by a small half at this time, all turning into nutrients for its growth.

The Blood Vine Corpse Tree still accumulated quite a few extraordinary factors as nutrients within its body, which had not yet been fully transformed.

"Blood Vine Corpse Tree"

Wang Ting was very satisfied with the growth trend of the Blood Vine Corpse Tree, curling the corners of his mouth upward into a smile.

Xiang Nan couldn't help asking: "Is it the blood vine fruit?"

Wang Ting nodded and extended his hand. The blood vine tree extended a dark red vine tentacle that landed in his palm.

Wang Ting activated the two traits of Plant Growth and Plant Control to accelerate the transformation of extraordinary factors within the Blood Vine Corpse Tree.

The tree body was still growing, quickly reaching 7 meters. At this point, growth gradually slowed down, and instead, a crimson fruit faintly appeared on one of the branches.

The fruit was not big, only the size of a thumb, but with Wang Ting's urging and the continuous consumption of extraordinary factors in his body, the fruit grew larger and larger, gradually growing to the size of a fist.

The fruit was blood-red all over, with skin as smooth as a tomato, but its shape looked more like a heart.

Wang Ting reached out and plucked this blood vine fruit, his gaze falling on Dong Hu.

"Dong Hu, this one is yours."

Dong Hu hurriedly caught the blood vine fruit tossed over by Wang Ting, his face full of surprise and joy.

He hadn't expected that this first fruit would be given to him just like that.

A trace of excitement surfaced on that fierce square face.

"Many thanks, leader."

Dong Hu was a rough-mannered man with hidden meticulousness. As a public reward from Wang Ting as the leader, he wouldn't refuse it, but instead swallowed the blood vine fruit in one bite without any hesitation.

His teeth bit through the fruit skin, and juice resembling fresh blood flowed out.

He sucked it down without leaving a single drop, discovering that although this juice had a sweet taste, it also had a bloody smell just like blood.

Once the fruit was completely swallowed, a scorching sensation immediately began to spread from his stomach.

It was as if the energy of the fruit instantly penetrated all parts of his body, flowing continuously along his own blood.

A dry heat swept over his whole body, and then slight tearing sensations came from all parts of his body. His strength was increasing, and his muscles were continuously undergoing reinforcement.

Dong Hu endured this for about four or five minutes, and finally couldn't help letting out a low roar.

Once the reinforcement was complete, Dong Hu glared with wide-open eyes, his body seeming to possess an endless amount of energy.

"Hahaha, it feels amazing. This must be breaking the human limit!"

The enhancement of strength made him feel as if he were omnipotent at this moment.

But what made him most certain that he had broken through was that hunting instinct like a top predatory creature.

Wild instinct—this was the greatest characteristic of breaking the human limit.

The current him, if pitted against his former self, could easily take down four or five of his past selves by himself.

"How does Brother Dong feel?"

Xiang Nan curiously inquired about Dong Hu's condition. Dong Hu grinned and said: "I've broken the limit. Come and try if you want to know."

His large hand pressed down on Xiang Nan's shoulder. Xiang Nan knew that Dong Hu was showing off his strength to him.

Curiosity also arose in his heart, and he immediately struggled with all his might to break free.

But Dong Hu began to exert force, and a massive strength pressed down from his shoulder. Xiang Nan's expression changed drastically in alarm, his body actually being pressed down by half a stature.

Such terrifying strength.

He suddenly reacted, staring wide-eyed at Dong Hu: "Your strength is more than 300 catties now."

Dong Hu smiled seemingly honestly, grinning: "I also feel it's more than that. We can test it in a bit."
