Chapter 691: Spread of the Vines and the news
The vampire is currently trying so hard to stay conscious as even his mental strength is getting exhausted.
He doesn’t know where this thing came from but it is sucking him dry. After another hour of struggle, he couldn’t take it anymore and gave up.
The vine started growing rapidly and the body of the vampire was being slowly consumed soon all that was left of him was some skin and bones.
Sam’s wrist screen once again changed with an additional ten points.
But this is not the end, at this moment, a young Vampire is bringing a female human with lustful and hungry eyes.
There are very few ways for a human to live peacefully without the fear of being eaten alive. And one of them is being sexy enough for these cold corpses to feel the arousal.
This woman is one of those lucky few that is even treated nicely because of her bed-chamber arts.
But when the young vampire who is hungrily kissing this woman saw the body of one of his kind being sucked dry and the vines are growing rapidly and even a flower blooming on it, he ran forward and the woman followed him.
As soon as he was within the range of the vines, he was entangled and pulled in along with the human woman. Both of them struggled a lot but before long, the human woman who is screaming a lot until now just stopped as she realized nothing is happening to her.
As soon as she released the spiritual energy, the vine is not even absorbing it and just let her go.
She just physically struggled and freed herself from the vines and escaped, but the vampire was still stuck in the vines.
She ran towards the camp and yelled at the top of her lungs to call for the people.
At this moment, the flower already bloomed and the pollen already spread before the flower disappeared and the new flower is on verge of blooming.
The woman who ran to the camp came back with a bunch of Vampires following her.
They didn’t dare touch the vine, but the vine has a certain range within which it would attack directly.
Two more vampires got caught and they were being sucked dry and the vine spread even more. Now it is even sucking death energy out of the trees that could survive in this environment making the trees to be destroyed.
The Vampires that are within the area looked panicked as they maintained a distance. They decided to go back and call for their seniors and also marked the area they are in so that they could maintain this safe distance.
But the little white pollen is something they couldn’t see and it also spread within their supposedly safe area.
The next day, a Transcendent stage Vampire along with some high-level Pre-transcendent stage vampires came to this place and watched from the supposedly safe distance, but as soon as they stepped there, they saw the carcasses of some undead creatures and small beasts.
Before they could examine what happened, the vines entangled them and started sucking them dry. The new vines came out of nowhere and the Pre-transcendent stage Vampires couldn’t put up much fight. The transcendent stage cultivator managed to get out with brute force, but half of his energy was sucked dry.
He couldn’t help but sneeze loudly as he felt something tingling in his nose, but he was relieved that he managed to escape and left the place with that itchy feeling of the mouth and lungs.
He immediately went back to the Vampire base camp to move and gave the account of the current situation with this new plant they discovered.
The human woman who saw the whole scene couldn’t help but take another look at the vines before she left.
As soon as she reached the camp, another Vampire scion who has his eyes on her for a long time took her away to the bedroom and once again she looked at the forest where the vines are still moving with a helpless look.
Sam only checked the number increased in his wrist screen, he didn’t know who was the victim of his crooked invention.
After all, from the war, he and the whole Undead realm are enemies anyway. Even if he only thought of it is as a transaction, it is not possible for the undead creatures to think so.
The wight commander that escaped has already informed the remaining two factions regarding Sam’s actions. His action of collecting them for his chess is something they could accept no matter what.
They are already planning for their next attack and every one of them has Sam’s picture with them so that they wouldn’t forget to take revenge on him.
It is better to strike first than later since he also has the need for points and has to piss Indra off once more.
He actually worked really hard to create these vines. If he has wood element it would have been easy, but he doesn’t have that, so he had to work extra hard.
He made such adjustments that the vines which would have fed on the soul energy and spiritual energy of any creature are now completely fixed on the death energy. It is also a form of dark elemental energy which is also spiritual energy, to put it simply, Sam just made it pickier about its food.
Apart from that, he grafted it with some other plants and the flowers are the results of that. These plants are not the strongest and they are not even favorite food for any creature, they don’t even have any medicinal properties, the only advantage for them is that they will spread faster.
The pollen of this plant grows easily as long as there is energy.
Due to the forceful grafting and combined mutation of these two plants, this new vine was born. If he planted this new vine in a normal world, it wouldn’t be useful at all. Even in Naga Loka and Banished realm, it would at most capture a target and leave them after realizing that they don’t have any death energy.
But here except for most of the humans, every creature is dependent on the death energy to live or to be precise dependent on this energy to continue its existence.
And every being with that energy is food for the vine, generally, this vine wouldn’t go after the vegetation but in this realm, it is going after everything that could hold the death energy and the more it eats, the more it grows, the more it grows the more flowers bloom and the more flowers, the more the pollen, more pollen then it is more vines and more victims.
Sam estimated that it would grow to a large scale at which the higher-level people of the different races would notice it and take it seriously after a month and he would personally make a move them.
The vines would have already spread so much by then and some of them would have grown enough to devour the late-stage Transcendent stage cultivators. This makes his points grow easier and he can provoke the races as he liked with these vines behind him.
Not only would he be able to get what he wanted he might even capture that wight commander back.
But what he doesn’t know is that his estimations are wrong by a long shot. While he is helping his friends in a relaxed manner, the news about vines already spread to the higher-level authorities of the Vampires.
Almost ten Vampires died and all of them have a certain importance for their race, so the Transcendent stage cultivator who inspected the place and escaped from the vines came back and reported everything to his family head.
But the family-head is pretty relaxed.
“This is the realm of undead and what you are saying happened in the forest of dying. Some rotten fool would have brought a different plant from the higher realms before dying and it must have fallen there.
Just don’t go near it and completely ignore it for now. If one more incident happens, just destroy it. Why are you reporting these silly incidents to me?
Is this the first time you encountered something inexplicable that could kill our kind?
Don’t forget most of the races beyond our realm don’t like us and they have so many protection methods against us, this must be a new kind.
Currently, what we have to think is how to rally the attack on the Banished realm when they are at their weakest.
They just went through a war and all the races have weakened. Our fortune is good since that Wight kid also failed in his invasion and even escaped like a coward, this has evened our field with the Wights and Ghouls.
Now we have to think of a way to rally another attack and invade into their lands and we can easily take over.
So, do your assigned tasks properly and don’t think of these useless things.”
