Chapter 1043: We're Just That Awesome! (Bonus Chapter)
Even Jiangnan himself couldn't remember how many barrels of Dali 2.0 and fake alcohol he'd poured!
Not a single drop was wasted—all of it was absorbed by the vine's body!
The next moment, Jiangnan heard a "rustling" sound and couldn't help but look up at the sky in confusion.
All the leaves and cotton-candy-like flowers on the Heavenly Vine withered and fell off with a rustle!
It was like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!
Li Bing's eyes were filled with anxiety.
(‧̣̥̇･᷄口･᷅) "Oh no! It's still summer, but the vine leaves and flowers are all withered. Did we over-fertilize and burn it to death?"
"Its daddy, this is all your fault! You force-fed the baby, and now you've milked it to death!"
In an instant, fallen leaves and yellow flowers covered the ground. The once lush Heavenly Vine had become a bald vine...
Jiangnan's forehead was drenched in sweat.
(•́﹏•̀٥)
This... this couldn't be, right? After all, it was a Star Glory-level creature. Was it really this fragile?
Could it be that Dali really wasn't suitable for plant-type spirit beasts?
However, the next moment, a dazzling light burst forth from the vine body near the Heavenly Vine's spirit pearl!
It was like a divine sun crashing to the ground, illuminating the sky as bright as day!
Everyone was blinded by the brilliance!
With a thunderous "boom," the vine's size exploded once more!
On the main trunk, which had been smooth before, rows of oval lumps bulged out side by side!
They were densely packed, covering the entire surface!
The vine roots also swelled up into mountain-like biceps!
The entire vine became ferocious, covered in bumps and shining with a blinding light!
Jiangnan's eyes nearly popped out of his head!
Σ(ଵ口ଵ|||) Holy shit!
Were those rows of oval lumps abs? Normal humans only had eight, and ten was already unheard of!
They were vividly known as washboard abs!
But these abs were a joke!
Several thousand abs on the Heavenly Vine? All abs below the head?
What the hell were these ridiculously strong abs that were like a speed bump? And they formed a kilometer-long continuous strip of closely packed speed bumps?
Others had washboard abs; this one had a washboard-road of abs!
Even the vine roots were covered in bulging muscles?
This was truly "green muscle eruption"!
At this moment, the Dragon Abyss Dark Night members were also shocked. Did this vine have a head? And why was it so bright?
Li Bing swallowed her saliva, her eyes twitching slightly.
(‧̣̥̇≖﹏≖) "Woo hoo! Mus... muscle golden wheel?"
"Look! Look what you've turned our baby into!"
The Heavenly Vine slammed all its vine roots against the ground, its green muscles bulging!
With a deafening "boom," the massive vine leaped into the air!
Countless vine roots, like small whips covered with thorns, wove into a heaven-and-earth net and lashed fiercely at the Mother Vine!
It was Thorn Lash, the sound of air splitting was earsplitting!
The Mother Vine was terrified—it could jump too?
It hurriedly deployed its own vine roots to counterattack, also using Thorn Lash!
The two vines lashed each other with thousands of roots, producing loud "crack, crack" sounds!
But the Heavenly Vine had its physical strength boosted by Dali 2.0 and its physical critical hit increased by fake alcohol!
As soon as they clashed, countless of the Mother Vine's roots were snapped off!
All the broken roots were absorbed by the Heavenly Vine!
However, the Heavenly Vine was not satisfied. It stretched out countless branches and actually began to strip the flowers and leaves from the Mother Vine's head!
It plucked all the Mother Vine's leaves off!
"If I don't have any, you can't have any either!"
The furious Mother Vine slammed the ground in anger!
Jiangnan grinned gleefully. Little Vine was quite vicious, huh? It even pulled its hair?
He wondered where it learned that.
With the boost of Dali and fake alcohol, the Mother Vine lost its advantage. Countless of its roots were broken off!
Although they regrew, the loss was not insignificant!
The Heavenly Vine took this opportunity to break through to Star Glory V!
Mawei Vi grew anxious: "Don't trade blows with it! Suck it dry! Use the move I taught you! Once it reaches Dao Heaven, they're finished!"
The Mother Vine also went all out. It allowed the Heavenly Vine to pierce into its body!
Then it fiercely stabbed into the Heavenly Vine's body!
The two vines connected in this way, simultaneously activating Blood Drain, frantically sucking each other dry!
༼ꐦ˃᷄3˂᷅༽༼꒪ั❥꒪ัꐦ༽
At first, they were evenly matched—if you drained ten portions, I'd drain ten back!
But then, the Mother Vine began to suck the blood of those 100,000 plant people!
It drained them until their eyes rolled back and they twitched, drying them out completely to enhance its Blood Drain skill!
Suddenly, the Heavenly Vine found it couldn't suck back. A massive amount of life essence was drained away by the Mother Vine!
The level it had just reached, Star Glory V, was about to drop, while the Mother Vine was on the verge of breaking through to Dao Heaven!
Mawei Vi shot Jiangnan a provocative glance, full of arrogance.
ᥬ(๑¯ิ◡.¯ิ) "Hmph~ A fake is just a fake. Just wait for the Mother Vine to devour you clean!"
"You think we hung these 100,000 blood bags for nothing?"
"Giggle~ Thanks for sending this vine over, helping the Mother Vine reach Dao Heaven rank!"
Li Bing was furious!
(ꐦᵒ̌～ᵒ̌) "Bah! Dream on! My little vine will never be defeated!"
Jiangnan glared: (ꐦʘ̆口ʘ̆) "You think hanging 100,000 IV bags can stop me?"
"Don't you want blood? I'll give you as much as you want!"
With that, he leaped onto the Heavenly Vine's washboard-road abs!
His expression turned ruthless: "You forced my hand!"
Jiangnan spent ten million resentment points—one small ginseng cost 100, so he exchanged for 100,000!
With a wave of his hand, he scattered them among the Dragon Abyss Dark Night!
"Brothers! It's time to bleed a little! Push the vine's level up!"
The Dragon Abyss Dark Night didn't hesitate. They grabbed the small ginsengs and stuffed them into their mouths!
Not only did their injuries heal completely, but their noses turned into high-pressure blood cannons, shooting out two streams of blood!
Tilting their heads back, their nosebleeds shot three to four meters away, splashing onto the Heavenly Vine and being fully absorbed!
(◕ˇ•‸•ˇ)≡=====
(ง˃᷄•益•˂᷅)ง≡========
"Haha! Liu Mang, you're pathetic! With a tailwind, you can only spray three meters? Too weak! Don't get it on your shoes!"
"You're so good? Look at the color of your blood—dark red! You've got internal heat, huh?"
"Hmph! Mind your own business! I can spray six meters against the wind! Nosebleed flowing strong, I'm just that awesome!"
"Stop yapping! You're spraying all over the place! Aim properly! You're wasting it!"
Some had even started using their nosebleeds to draw patterns for fun!
Jiangnan raised his arm and shouted: "One small step forward, one giant leap for civility! Don't overestimate yourself! Aim straight!"
Li Bing's eyes nearly went blind!
Σ(‖*口*)
What the hell was this?
One hundred thousand Dragon Abyss Dark Night members tilting their heads back and spraying nosebleeds—the absurdity of this scene was beyond words!
And they were even competing over who could spray farther?
People who knew might think they were spraying nosebleeds; those who didn't might think they were taking a leak!
The Heavenly Vine received the boost of 200,000 nosebleeds, immediately perking up. It stabilized its level and frantically rose in stars!
Five, six, seven, eight—it shot straight up to Star Glory VIII! It pulled back the disadvantage and once again entered a tug-of-war with the Mother Vine!
Mawei Vi nearly fainted at this sight!
You guys hang IV bags, and they spray nosebleeds?
Where did they get so many nosebleeds from?
If this continued, letting the vine catch up would be the end!
"Suck the blood bags dry! One final push! Hurry!"
The Mother Vine exerted all its strength, sucking the 100,000 blood bags dry in one go, leaving them all dead!
The plant people were filled with sorrow—they could spray nosebleeds, so why did we have to die? We're so miserable!
(›꒪ͦﾛ꒪ͦ‹)...
The Mother Vine's body blazed with blood light, suppressing the Heavenly Vine again, on the verge of breaking through to Dao Heaven!
The Heavenly Vine had actually lost stars. Jiangnan grew anxious: "Still not enough! Form up! Odd-numbered rows, about face!"
The Dragon Abyss Dark Night quickly formed up, turning around so that two rows faced each other. They ended up spraying blood all over each other's faces!
Everyone was confused, not knowing what Jiangnan intended!
Jiangnan bellowed: "Stab the one across from you! Don't stop until you've opened ten holes in him!"
Everyone was stunned. Stab each other? That... that was too cruel!
Just then, Jiangnan tilted his head back, drank a bottle of fake alcohol to numb the pain, and ate a small ginseng!
Then he pulled out two daggers and started stabbing himself in the ribs like crazy!
He stabbed so fast it was a blur!
Instantly, he had more than twenty wounds, blood gushing out like a human sprinkler!
Truly stabbing himself in both sides!
¤=[]:::(｡•̀ཀ•́｡):::[]=¤
The Dragon Abyss Dark Night members' eyes nearly popped out!
This... this was too ruthless! How could he do that to himself?
Li Bing covered her face. She suddenly understood how Jiangnan's body had accumulated so many hidden injuries!
There was no way he could be so reckless!
He was too desperate!
"What are you waiting for? Stab! Isn't this basic?"
"Right, right! A real brother stabs him! We're familiar with this!"
At that moment, Black Crow and Liu Ming, arms around each other, veins bulging on their faces, each held a dagger and frantically stabbed each other's stomachs, blood spraying wildly!
(ꐦ･᷅益･᷄)◞⚔◟(ʘ̆口ʘ̆ꐦ)
Meanwhile, Platelet and Iron Bull were playing rock-paper-scissors, holding knives—whoever won would stab the other three times! They were having a blast, blood gushing everywhere!
(๑꒦ິ﹏꒦ີ)✂C(･᷅～･᷄๑)
Everyone's eyes twitched!
No wonder they had been on missions with South God—they were real beasts!
Then they all roared, gritted their teeth, pulled out daggers, and started stabbing the opposite person!
Some couldn't bring themselves to do it. Jiangnan couldn't stand it; he grabbed two daggers and rushed into the formation!
Using teleportation combined with spatial wormholes, the two daggers went in and out three times, stabbing people frantically!
[From Liu Mang: Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Wang Fei: Resentment Value...]
The resentment value list refreshed like crazy. Jiangnan wore a fierce expression!
I spent ten million? I have to stab it all back!
As long as I stab ten thousand teammates, I won't lose this round! Watch me go all out!
At that moment, Jiangnan teleported madly, screaming erupting wherever he went!
Li Si grew anxious, his face full of desire!
(งʘ̆益ʘ̆)ง "South God! Stab me! Come on, stab me! I beg you! I'm begging to be stabbed!"
Mu Wan pulled out her cleaver and licked her lips!
(๑‾᷄～‾᷅) "South God is busy! I'll satisfy you!"
Li Si: !!!
She really does remember me!
