Chapter 124

The entire sky above Xingcheng was filled with blood-red mist.

Countless Xingcheng beastmasters were using wind-based skills to blow away the crimson mist.

Many other Xingcheng beastmasters, wearing gas masks, directed their beasts in battle against the vines.

A rock giant over fifty meters tall was desperately pulling at those vines!

But though the rock giant possessed immense strength, the vines were extraordinarily tough and refused to break.

Some were even beginning to bind the rock giant.

Civilians were being rapidly evacuated under the organization of Xingcheng soldiers.

Many civilians and soldiers suddenly collapsed mid-run, writhing in agony, then—just like the farmer before them—blood-red vines sprouted all over their bodies!

This terrifying Hellblood Vine was spreading wildly within Xingcheng!

It's a Platinum Rank beast!

And it has three Legendary talents!

Su Yang was nearly driven mad!

Within Xingcheng, seven Platinum Rank beasts were all offshoots—no mother plant!

Then where was the mother plant?

Soon, an old beastmaster with snow-white hair flew in atop a Blue Cloud Giant Eagle.

The old beastmaster said: "Lord Su, your arrival is truly a blessing!"

"We know the situation is urgent—this is our vanguard; the main force may take days to arrive!" Su Su Liqun hurriedly asked, "What exactly is this plant beast?"

The old beastmaster's face twisted in pain: "That blood-red plant beast appeared three days ago. When it first showed up, we didn't take it seriously—we just wiped them all out. But we never imagined they'd spread so quickly!"

Su Yang knew this couldn't be blamed on Xingcheng.

It was said this Hellblood Vine had never been seen before—Xingcheng's beastmasters had no idea how strange it was!

Only Su Yang, with his system, could instantly see through the Hellblood Vine's true nature.

For Xingcheng to obtain intelligence, they had to sacrifice countless beastmasters' lives!

Su Su Liqun asked: "Do you have any intelligence on this beast?"

"They have strong resistance to fire-based skills; their vine whips are extremely tough; after blooming, they emit that blood-red mist—we've analyzed it, and the mist contains their seeds. When fighting them, never inhale it, or they'll grow out of your lungs!"

Many Qixing City beastmasters silently covered their noses.

The old beastmaster said: "I've sent people to prepare gas masks for you—they're extremely effective!"

Su Su Liqun nodded: "Good!"

"But even so, Xingcheng may be lost…"

The old beastmaster watched people covering their mouths and noses with wet towels, fleeing through the crimson mist.

Covering the nose and mouth was useless—no one could hold their breath for long.

"The seeds in that mist don't just enter through the respiratory tract—they can also sprout from the eyes… It's too terrifying!"

The old beastmaster lamented: "Our warehouses have no enough gas masks—we can only prioritize issuing them to beastmasters!"

Su Su Liqun nodded, face heavy with worry: "I understand."

"These blood vines range from Black Iron Rank to Bronze Rank. The more blood and flesh they consume, the more energy they absorb, and the faster they grow—even the city lord's own Platinum Rank beast was killed by these vines!"

"Black Iron Rank blood vines can parasitize Bronze Rank beastmasters and their beasts; Bronze Rank vines can parasitize Bai Yin Rank beastmasters and their beasts—and so on."

"When you fight, make sure your beasts hold their breath—never inhale the mist. Also, avoid getting wounded. They have some long-range attack capability; if you're injured, they'll sprout from your wounds. Once they start growing, pull them out immediately… if you have long-range attacks, use them!"

Over a hundred Qixing City beastmasters shuddered as they listened.

High resistance to fire!

Airborne transmission!

Wound transmission!

And long-range attack capability!

They felt these blood vines were simply too terrifying.

Looking at the endless crimson vines, the requirement to avoid injury felt impossibly high!

Even Su Yang felt the name "Hellblood Vine" was perfectly apt—it truly was Hell-tier.

The old beastmaster, seeing the equipment of Qixing City's rescue team, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The vanguard of Qixing City's rescue force all had flying mounts.

Most of these flying mounts were wind-type.

Wind-type beasts mostly possessed long-range attack capabilities.

Not long after, two military trucks arrived, and the 170+ Qixing City beastmasters immediately donned the issued gas masks.

The gas masks included full body casing, water-resistant cover, eye windows, breathing valves, hydration systems, head straps—and even communication devices.

As the beastmasters put on the gas masks, they heard Su Su Liqun's command.

"Everyone, enter Xingcheng and exterminate those Blood Vines—depart immediately!"

Saying this, he rode his companion beast and charged without hesitation toward a Platinum-grade Hell Blood Vine Flower.

"Comrades, remember to protect yourselves!"

These were Su Su Liqun's final words.

"My lord, take care!"

Many Beast Tamer said this in their hearts.

Including Su Yang!

Over one hundred and seventy Beast Tamers from Qixing City followed Su Su Liqun and plunged into Xingcheng!

Behind them stood the elderly Beast Tamer with white hair.
