292: Chapter 272: Bloodsucker 292: Chapter 272: Bloodsucker Baseliga Bloodsucking Vine, a magical plant that Lu Ping’an casually made up in the past, but he brought it into reality.
Using the transformed green vine as a template, adding the water-thirsty Devilish Cuscuta factor, and complementing it with the regeneration ability of the Bread Tree, this magical vine was created…
It doesn’t crave blood but craves the water and nutrients in all lifeforms.
One after another, Bloodsucking Vines transformed into Death Gods hanging in the sky, descending from above.
Tearing, pulling, dragging.
Local Magic Monsters who have never encountered such an attack suffered a devastating, irresistible calamity.
How could they resist the Death God descending from the sky?
Suspending, dragging, struggling.
Just the first wave successfully killed over a dozen Magic Monsters.
Still, Lu Ping’an was not quite satisfied.
“…It’s a bit restrained.”
The giant rock monsters were easy to capture, but their tough bodies were hard to tear apart, and the fact that they didn’t need to breathe (no respiratory organs have been found) made suffocation impossible.
Without any vital points on the body, it was difficult for the magical vines to get a grip.
The complete lack of water in their bodies only made the Bloodsucking Vines lose interest after tearing apart a few of them.
“Buzz!”
Sticky mud monsters turned into flaming fireballs after being ambushed.
High temperature and burning are natural enemies of magical plants, especially the water-thirsty Bloodsucking Vines which fear them.
They actively avoided walking fireballs on the ground.
Only the highest-level six-limbed fire monsters were specifically targeted.
“Squeak!”
Accompanied by a nasty tearing sound, a six-limbed monster turned into broken fragments, and the fluid leaking from its body instantly attracted dozens of competing vines.
The next moment, the Bloodsucking Vines, having consumed “blood,” went into a frenzy, stimulated by the delicacy and the taste, attracting even more hungry vines.
For a moment, countless vines locked onto their targets, and the highest-threat, highest-level six-limbed monsters in the enemy team were hoisted up and torn apart.
Right before everyone’s eyes, the mortal world turned into a hell, and the lives that had not yet learned to scream went swiftly to their end.
“Stay away, stay away, and don’t move around.
Don’t try to attack the vines.
Gardener’s affinity-mark can’t be fully trusted.”
Deputy Captain Lu’s voice still rang in their ears, and Lu Ping’an nodded in agreement:
“Yes, stay away, don’t test their patience.
They were born with low intelligence…”
After all, Magic Plants are independent entities, and the Gardener who acts as the Beast Tamer can only share “emotions,” which are ultimately limited in their effects.
Moreover, the intelligence of Magic Plants is lower than that of tamed beasts.
Most of the time, they can only be restrained by “empathy” through their Abnormal Abilities.
As a result, although the principles are the same, the practical effects of affinity-mark and Hostility Marker often differ greatly.
As the master, it is easy to get a “hungry beast” to attack a specific opponent, and the Hostility Marker is highly effective.
Trying to get them not to attack a life form would be going against their bloodthirsty nature, so the effect is indeed not trustworthy.
At this moment, the way Lu Xin and the others looked at Lu Ping’an became even more peculiar.
In the Secret Keeper’s world, strength is always the most reliable passport and identity proof.
Merely this seemingly beyond third-tier power can’t be regarded as an ordinary newbie.
“…Captain level?” Although they didn’t dare to believe it, it seemed like the truth.
How strong a Gardener and Beast Tamer can be depends on the strength of their “babies”.
If a 2-tier professional can raise third-tier or even higher-tier Magic Plants, then treating them as high-level combat power is not unacceptable.
“It must be a special Talent Ability.
Every year, there are a few such monsters.”
“I originally thought he was just an external brain for Captain Xia’s team, but I didn’t expect him to be so strong.
Maybe our previous guess wasn’t wrong, and he is really the one who calls the shots in the team…”
However, Lu Ping’an, who was being re-evaluated by the “newbies” at this moment, was frowning.
Since deploying “Salvation”, it was intended to clear the field.
The current effect was too subtle.
The Bloodsucking Vines, which had eaten their “delicacies,” showed no interest in the hard-to-crack cans and fire piles below.
Even though they also had strong vitality and “contamination,” the absence of “moisture” made the inherently thirsty vines more interested in the humans on the small hillside.
Just one bite, and some of them subconsciously twisted towards that direction.
One can’t expect bloodthirsty creatures to have good memory and self-control.
“Everyone, get over here.”
With that, Lu Ping’an slammed the giant tree behind him.
A wave spread from the trunk, and all the Magic Plants instinctively shook violently.
“Life Shock.”
Resonating with the phantom pain, the parasitic Bloodsucking Vines suffered their master’s whip.
The pain reminded them of their past ordeal of being whipped, and furious, they attacked their master’s enemies, those stubborn iron cans.
At this moment, the older members looked at Lu Ping’an with even stranger expressions.
“Third-tier Gardener’s professional abilities are not as complete as his, right?”
The awakening of professional abilities depends on luck as well as effort.
Hostility Marker, affinity-mark, Life Shock, plus pre-existing abilities and fundamentals – you can’t expect to have them all in four or five years.
What they didn’t know was that this was only the beginning.
At this moment, Lu Ping’an was still helplessly frustrated by the lack of attack effectiveness.
These Bloodsucking Vines just couldn’t get excited when faced with the stone and high-temperature Magic Monsters.
“Forget it; let’s use it once.”
Retrieving his right arm into his sleeve, he rapidly completed a hand seal.
“Boom!”
This loud noise came from behind.
The towering tree suddenly swelled to several times its size, its rapidly increasing mass crushing the earth and turning it into a monstrous tree that supported the sky, creating a manmade sinkhole!
At the same time, each magical vine transformed completely.
The three-fold increase turned tiny eels into giant pythons, and harmless vines into deadly tentacles.
One by one, the magical vines attacked the cans and fire piles below.
This time, with just a simple slap, twist, or pinch, all that remained was a pile of “fertilizer,” a spark, and a bit of powder.
Following this hellish scene, even the newly born Magic Monsters felt fear.
Some started to flee for their lives.
Escaping?
It wouldn’t work.
The “Salvation” attack range had increased several times with the gigantification.
The three-fold increase brought much more than triple the attack efficiency.
In just tens of seconds, the Magic Monsters were wiped out.
As the Bloodsucking Vines completed their hunt and eyed their new “prey,” the giant tree in front of them suddenly vanished, and everything returned to calm.
Only the burning remnants on the ground and the deep pit behind them indicated that it had all been real.
“Let’s go, our time is limited.”
