Chapter 153: Only for Me to Bloom! Only for Me to Admire!

The Hellblood Vine Flower has many mysteries surrounding it.

But Su Yang doesn't care.

No matter how powerful she was before, she is now only his pet beast!

She's already signed the slave contract—does she think she can back out now?

Moreover, the Hellblood Vine Flower's wish to bloom across the entire world is destined to remain just a dream.

Bloom across the whole world? How could she even think of that!

Su Yang tested the Hellblood Vine Flower's mythic talent again—Blessing of the Earth.

Standing in place, his body could easily merge into the soil layer, moving freely through the earth.

The only problem was, Su Yang couldn't stay in the soil layer for long.

Because there was no air in the soil layer—he needed to breathe.

But since Su Yang was already a Silver-Level Beast Tamer, his physical condition far surpassed ordinary people, and combined with the Blessing of the Earth's boost to his recovery, he could hold his breath for an hour or more inside the soil layer.

Su Yang thought this ability might be useful for escaping.

Moving through the soil layer made it hard to be detected.

Today's mission was done; Su Yang planned to go after the Venom Spider.

Killing a Silver-Level beast would certainly complete the task and grant more experience.

But searching for Silver-Level beasts took time—it was better to farm Venom Spiders.

Venom Spiders gave little experience, but they were numerous—plenty to make up for it.

Overall, to keep improving his strength, killing Venom Spiders was more cost-effective.

He changed into an old set of clothes and arrived at the Venom Spiders' lair, then had the Earth Bear attach itself to his body.

The Earth Bear's Undying Golden Body gave Su Yang a strong sense of security.

From his spatial pouch, he pulled out a hind leg of a Red-Skinned Demon Flame Pig; under the strong scent of blood, the Venom Spiders swarmed out en masse.

These Bronze-Level beasts had no brains.

They usually relied on their numbers to bully the few, dominating the area—even Silver-Level beasts dared not provoke them.

But they had just run into Su Yang.

Black venom rained down upon him; Su Yang closed his eyes and released the Hellblood Vine Flower.

"Attack freely!"

In the sky, the Storm Eagle flapped its wings, unleashing a storm of wind blades.

The Hellblood Vine Flower swung its crimson vines, smashing one Venom Spider after another.

Blood-red buds appeared and bloomed; the air filled with a faint red mist.

On the corpses of the Venom Spiders, pink sprouts began to grow.

These sprouts drained all nutrients from the corpses—including their core crystals—and rapidly grew into new Hellblood Vine Flowers of Black-Iron and Bronze-Level strength.

Under the control of the mother plant, these new Hellblood Vine Flowers began attacking other Venom Spiders.

What had happened in Xingcheng now played out near the Venom Spiders' lair.

This was why Su Yang most wanted the Hellblood Vine Flower.

The Hellblood Vine Flower was truly skilled at countering horde tactics.

It didn't fear enemies in large numbers—it feared enemies too few.

It could turn countless enemies into puppet offshoots, then turn them back against their own kind.

A single beast could, in a short time, create an entire puppet army!

"Ding~ Your Hellblood Vine Flower has killed a Bronze Low-Grade Venom Spider, +300 experience!"

"Ding~ Your Hellblood Vine Flower has killed a Bronze Mid-Grade Venom Spider, +1000 experience!"

"Ding~ Your Hellblood Vine Flower has killed a Black-Iron Mid-Grade Venom Spider, +10 experience!"

"..."

Around Su Yang's ears, the system notifications of the Hellblood Vine Flower killing Venom Spiders never stopped.

Many of the Venom Spiders hadn't even touched the Hellblood Vine Flower—only inhaled its pollen, and already the seedlings grew from within their bodies, from their eyeballs...

Even the Storm Eagle's killing efficiency couldn't keep up with the Venom Spiders.

Soon, Su Yang noticed the Hellblood Vine Flowers were beginning to move toward the cave den where the Venom Spiders lived.

The Hellblood Vine Flowers crawled slowly, but their crimson pollen drifted through the air, seeping into the Venom Spiders' cave dwellings...

Another string of system alerts chimed in his ears.

Su Yang had grown numb to them—he simply told the system to mute them!

The Storm Eagle circled in the sky, because it had no more targets left to kill!

The Hellblood Vine Flower, however, stood beside Su Yang, gently swaying its crimson vines, as if utterly content.

"Hellblood Vine Flower!"

"What is it?"

"Do you remember that vine chair you saw last time?"

"I remember!"

"Can you weave one?"

"Of course!"

The Hellblood Vine Flower pulled out ten blood-red vines, each as thick as a finger; the ten vines wove and intertwined, effortlessly forming a vine chair.

"Hide the thorns, don't let the leaf edges stick out—they'll cut people!"

"Oh!"

Then Su Yang simply sat down on it…

Lying comfortably in the wicker chair, Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

This was the life a Beast Tamer was truly meant to live!

Fighting and dying? That's what your Beast should do.

Half an hour later, Su Yang suddenly received a system notification: Hellblood Vine Flower had upgraded to Silver High-Grade!

This rate of upgrade left Su Yang in awe.

But Su Yang also knew that the ten thousand venom spiders inside this nest were completely finished!

"Ding~ Congratulations, Host! Your Beast, Hellblood Vine Flower, has learned a skill—Paralyzing Venom."

"Paralyzing Venom: When Hellblood Vine Flower's thorns and sharp leaves pierce an enemy's wound, they inject Paralyzing Venom, causing the enemy's body to become paralyzed!"

"Not bad—your power has increased by one level, and your venom glands have grown!" Su Yang turned to look at the Hellblood Vine Flower beside him and smiled: "How's it feel? Following me, aren't you sensing your power rising for no reason?"

The moment Su Yang spoke those words, the Hellblood Vine Flower's loyalty increased slightly, reaching a high 90 points.

Indeed, one must be a bit of a mystic and learn to show off.

Su Yang gently stroked the wicker chair and said: "I can feel your loyalty to me. Don't worry—I'll gradually cultivate you. Perhaps I can help you recover your memories and make you stronger than you were in your prime!"
