LORD OF END OF WORLD

86-90

Chapter 86

The seeds fell onto the giant snake's body and made a slight squeaking sound. They fell to the ground and disappeared into the grass where it did not attract the giant snake's attention. However, after Luo Dahai waved his hand to boost the seed's growth, the giant python finally realized it was in trouble.

It saw the gray-green vines burst out like crazy. It went from thin to thick, from sparse to dense, instantly covering the giant snake and wrapping around it tightly. The giant python wanted to struggle, but the seemingly fragile vines were tougher than they seemed. Instead, all the struggling made the vines even tighter and wanted to pierce the flesh. Fortunately, the giant python had a hard and heavy scale armor, otherwise it would have been pierced through several times and would have died.

When struggling didn't work, it would use its teeth to bite and burn the vines with fire. The giant snake was not discouraged, and continued to struggle so that it could eat a dozen or so prey. The fierce battle that had been in full swing just a moment ago seemed like a joke now and the tense and terrifying atmosphere from before instantly became more relaxed.

"Good man, thank you for coming in time!" Members of group two patted Luo Dahai's shoulders and looked at him with gratitude for saving their lives.

Luo Dahai felt embarrassed and waved his hand, saying that he came late and almost killed everyone, and that he should eat faster next time.

Hearing his straightforward and sincere answer, the members of group two were stunned. Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran bowed their heads and laughed together as they both agreed: Did he really come after eating? Those people and Lixin (Xiaoxin) have been together for such a long time that his character is rubbing off on them.

Among the four people rescued by the two groups, the man with wood ability stared at the vines wrapped around the giant python and he opened his mouth in horror. "Is that the steel diamond vine? How did you get your hands on the steel diamond vine seeds? No, no! How can you use steel diamond vine when fighting? After we leave, this wild forest will become a land of death!"

Steel diamond vine, as its name suggests, was a vine that was as tough as steel and a knife couldn't cut it. Fire wouldn't burn it and it loved to entangle itself around living things. The more the living things struggled, the tighter the vines would be, until the living thing was choked to death. The corpse would rot and turn into nutrients that the vines would absorb through its roots. But the real horror was not its vines which were unusually tough, but because of its aggressiveness. Its roots developed fast and, when it was plunged into the ground, it would absorb the nutrients in the soil to stimulate itself. Therefore, its vines tend to stretch for hundreds of kilometers, killing all plants around them and turning the rooted area into a grey-green hell. Any living thing passing through would be strangled to death and turned into fertilizer that nourished its roots. Just like the giant python in front of them.

As a wood ability user, the man naturally knew about mutant plants, like the scutellaria and the steel diamond vine that were the king of mutated plants. Their killing power was better than that of a thousand horses. Improper use of them could cause irreparable damage to human beings. Therefore, this was the reason that he was as frightened as he was and even had a condemning tone. He could imagine that after they left, this forest would certainly be completely occupied by this steel diamond vine and the already precarious human race would have one less land to survive off of.

Luo Dahai understood his concerns and he was not angry because of the other's sharp tone. He only passively patted his shoulder and sincerely opened his mouth. "Don't worry, my boss will deal with this steel diamond vine before it grows further and endangers people."
