Chapter 66: Split! Parent body! Plundering souls!

Another half hour passed, and Su Yang leaned against a broken wall, gasping for air.

His forehead was already soaked with sweat.

It was simply too tiring!

Even if the Earth Violent Bear’s Indestructible Golden Body possessed powerful recovery capabilities, it couldn't withstand such high-intensity fighting!

Those Hell Blood Vine Flowers were worthy of being splits without souls; they seemed not to know what fear was, only attacking the living things around them frantically.

The quantity was so large it made one’s scalp numb; it felt like no matter how much one killed, they couldn't be killed off!

The Earth Violent Bear was still a bit better, but the Storm Eagle had gradually disengaged from the battle, killing fewer and fewer Hell Blood Vine Flowers.

Just then, Su Yang heard the military bugle for a complete retreat.

"Are we giving up?"

Su Yang also knew that this might be the best result.

The Platinum-grade Hell Blood Vine Flowers were simply too strong, with several Peerless talents; even Su Su Liqun probably couldn't deal with many of them.

What’s more, inside Daxing City, except for the Beastmasters who were still fighting bitterly, there were probably no living people left!

Retreat.

Is cutting losses!

"Storm Eagle, come over and pick me up!"

The Storm Eagle heard Su Yang’s order and immediately swooped down from high altitude.

As it swept across the ground, Su Yang jumped onto its back.

Almost at the same time, other Beastmasters who received the signal also began to evacuate.

Rising rapidly into the air, Su Yang saw that half of Daxing City had turned blood-red!

The top experts of Daxing City and Seven Star City were still fighting those Hell Blood Vine Flowers.

However, Su Yang noticed that there were still six Platinum-grade Hell Blood Vine Flowers, only one less.

Of course, it was also possible that after killing one, more were produced...

Su Yang was unclear about the battle situation.

In any case, he knew that the Platinum-grade Hell Blood Vine Flowers were too strong.

They had three Peerless talents and were growing at a flying speed!

Those Hell Blood Vine Flowers waved their vines, and countless high-rise buildings were easily swept down by them.

Many Beastmasters sat on their mounts, watching the battle in the distance.

The Beastmasters retreated to a mountain a hundred miles away, along with thousands of troops and over three thousand surviving civilians.

There might be other survivors; they might have scattered.

Everyone began to set up camp, and it was only then that Su Yang noticed that quite a few familiar people were gone.

After setting up the simple tents prepared for them by Daxing City, Su Yang felt he was about to collapse!

The others were not having an easy time either.

Wu Wu Yuqing didn't even set up a tent and lay directly on the grass, not wanting to move.

Of the 170-plus Beastmaster team from Seven Star City, fewer than a hundred were able to return safely.

The losses were extremely heavy!

The campfire was burning, and the Beastmasters sat around the campfire, all silent.

In many people’s eyes, tears were still glistening.

Many comrades-in-arms had left forever.

Most importantly, Daxing City hadn't been defended either.

"Tian Chong didn't come back!"

Wu Wu Yuqing said in a low voice.

"Hmm!"

Su Yang nodded.

He heard crying.

He took a deep breath, walked out of the camp, and looked at the civilian camp on the hillside.

The wailing sounds were almost all coming from there.

Daxing City had a population of at least 100,000; those who could escape were very few.

Many children had lost their parents, many elderly had lost their children, many wives had lost their husbands, and for many families, not a single person had escaped!

If this happened in Seven Star City, if his mother and sister were in trouble, heaven knows what crazy things Su Yang would do.

In Su Yang’s mind, he was thinking about the intelligence on the Hell Blood Vine Flower.

He returned to the campfire, his mind in a mess.

Wu Wu Yuqing said in a low voice, "Don't be sad, just get used to it. Old Tian died in battle; at least he counts as a hero!"

"I know!"

Su Yang hesitated for a moment, but still decided to see Su Su Liqun.

Only he knew some of the intelligence about the Hell Blood Vine Flower.

Some things had to be reminded.

If they could rely on this intelligence to completely kill the opponent, that would be even better.

Su Su Liqun’s tent was the largest and most luxurious, located in the center of the Seven Star City Beastmaster camp.

After the guard soldier reported, Su Yang met Su Su Liqun.

Su Su Liqun looked exhausted.

On the table in front of him were two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, and a bowl of white rice, but they had all gone cold.

"I am very happy to see that you were not injured!"

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Su!"

Su Su Liqun rubbed his messy hair and asked, "Is there anything you need?"

"I suspect that the plant-type fierce beasts we encountered are actually all clones, and they might have a common parent body!"

Su Yang finally said this.

If he didn't say it, he was afraid no one would ever know.

Because there were crystal cores inside the splits of those Hell Blood Vine Flowers too.

"What?" Su Su Liqun looked at Su Yang in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

"Just a feeling!" Su Yang said seriously, "When I fought those blood-colored plants, I felt they had no souls, no joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness; they were more like a bunch of chaotic killing machines..."

"Wait, let me think!"

Su Su Liqun stood up and tried hard to recall the several Platinum-grade blood-colored vines he had fought during the day!

Those blood-colored vines were indeed more like machines.

They only knew how to kill continuously.

Their vines never dodged attacks.

They were fearless in the face of death, and every attack seemed to have a tendency to perish together.

Logically speaking, even if plant-type fierce beasts generally had low intelligence, Platinum-grade fierce beasts should indeed possess some wisdom!

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages was the instinct of all living things.

Yet they didn't!

Thinking of this, Su Su Liqun said, "Your guess is bold, but it’s not impossible. There are indeed some extremely rare plant-type fierce beasts that possess the ability to create clones, but they use cuttings."

"Since cuttings work, why wouldn't seeds?" Su Yang proposed, "Actually, we could send a Beastmaster who possesses a Spirit-type pet to take a look; they should be able to feel the souls of fierce beasts, right!"

Spirit-type pets, although rare, were not non-existent in Seven Star City.

"You’re right, our Seven Star City happens to have such an expert!"

Su Su Liqun took Su Yang out of the tent and ordered the guards, "Call Huo Kun for me!"

Soon, Captain Huo arrived.

It was only then that Su Yang learned that this Captain was also skilled in the Spirit-type.

"City Lord, do you have any orders?"

"Come out with us for a trip to do an experiment!"

"Alright!"

The three Beastmasters left the camp and found a Gold-grade Hell Blood Vine Flower in a small town outside Daxing City.

After cutting off all the vines of this Hell Blood Vine Flower, Huo Kun placed his hand on the main trunk of the Hell Blood Vine Flower.

"Spirit communication!"

His eyes instantly turned silver.

After a long while, his eyes returned to brown-black.

"It has a soul!"

"What?"

Now it was Su Yang’s turn to be surprised.

How could a clone have a soul?

Could it be that the parent body of the Hell Blood Vine Flower had even cut off its own soul?

Huo Kun looked at Su Yang and said, "Its soul is very strange, similar to a collection of many broken human souls, full of resentment, only knowing how to kill and destroy, chaotic and unbearable... I think it indeed has no true soul; the souls inside it were all plundered!"
