Too much vegetation, like a latticed jungle, at first when stepping into this area of overgrown weeds and intertwined vines, one did not realize how complex the terrain was.
Until they were deeply trapped, it was as if they were imprisoned in a cage made of plants!
Jin Minjun and the four junior sisters were now trapped here. They had already summoned their dragons, but in this area of soft, sinking vegetation, even the strong dragons could not stand steadily.
And the flying dragons found it difficult to spread their wings, as the intertwined thorny vines and giant branches above their heads oppressed them, making it hard for them to fly freely.
This fractured jungle was fraught with danger!
The rat-faced creatures climbed along the vines, crept through the thick layer of leaves and moss on the ground, and approached under the cover of dense shrubs...
Strange cries seemed to be right beside their ears.
An accidental touch of a cold leaf on the neck gave a sense of being held by claws!
They had been too careless.
Jin Minjun began to blame himself.
Under normal circumstances, even if all the rat-faced creatures emerged from their nests, they would not be a match for the fierce dragon he had summoned, let alone the group of people, each of whom possessed a true dragon.
But in such an environment, each rat-faced creature posed a threat to their lives. A moment's carelessness could result in being gutted and having their organs dug out!
Jin Minjun vigilantly observed his surroundings. His spiritual energy perception could detect footsteps, even those from a distance.
Unfortunately, in this situation, he could only hear sounds within ten meters, and the silent fractured jungle was full of danger!
"Junior sisters, how are you?" Jin Minjun asked in a low voice.
"Lu Xiaoyao injured her knee and can't move," the short-haired girl said.
"Your dragons should protect you, don't move around recklessly. The soil under our feet is very loose and might collapse," Jin Minjun said.
"Senior brother, I can't keep my eyes open..."
"Can't keep your eyes open?" Jin Minjun didn't quite understand what she meant, but soon he himself felt a strong drowsiness, feeling very tired, as if he could just lie down on the soft jungle.
Why is this happening??
Why is my body so weak, and my eyelids so heavy?
"Nightshade vines??"
Finally, Jin Minjun noticed a dense, emerald-green vegetation covering the fractured stone walls and extending to the area they were standing on. The leafy scent it emitted made people feel extremely drowsy!
"Trouble... Junior sisters... Cover your mouths and noses!"
"Junior sisters!"
"Junior sister Xiaoyao!"
Jin Minjun was greatly alarmed, shouting several times, but none of the junior sisters responded.
They were hypnotized!!
This place was filled with nightshade vines, and it was also the nest of the rat-faced creatures, which meant that the highly cultivated nightshade vine rat wolf demon also resided here!
With the hypnotic effect of the nightshade vine leaves, if the nightshade vine rat wolf released its hypnotic gas, even some strong ancient dragons might fall into a deep sleep.
"Zhuming Liang, Zhuming Liang, the junior sisters are hypnotized, save them quickly!" Jin Minjun resisted the drowsiness and shouted to Zhuming Liang, who was higher up.
"I'm surrounded!" Zhuming Liang's voice was muffled as it came down.
"The junior sisters are about to have their organs dug out, Zhuming Liang!" Jin Minjun shouted again.
Above the fracture, Zhuming Liang was surrounded by over a dozen rat-faced creatures. They seemed to think he and Chu Yanyan were isolated, so they concentrated their attack on the two of them.
"Bai Qi, deal with them, I'll go down to save the junior sisters," Zhuming Liang said.
"Whoosh~~~"
The Ice Dawn White Dragon stared at the surrounding lush plants, its star-like eyes particularly focused, yet also carrying a hint of coldness and disdain.
It did not use large-scale Ice Dawn magic, as the thick plant layer would serve as a protective wall for the rat-faced creatures, giving them time to escape.
"Whoosh!!"
Suddenly, the Ice Dawn White Dragon pounced like a white leopard, pinning down a rat-faced creature that had been lingering nearby.
The ice claws sliced through, cutting the rat-faced creature in half before it could even scream.
"Hisssssssss!!!"
A low growl sounded, and a large rat-faced creature appeared behind the Ice Dawn White Dragon, trying to use the death of its companion as bait to attack the dragon's back!
"Swish!!!"
The Dragon Stinger Tail cleanly pierced through the rat-faced creature's head, so fast that only a needle-like shadow could be seen. When the Ice Dawn White Dragon retracted its tail, it remained as clean and smooth as ever, without a speck of dirt!
...
Zhuming Liang left Chu Yanyan on the upper level, knowing she would be safe with Bai Qi.
He chose to slide down the hanging vines, but the dense vegetation below made it impossible to see the junior sisters, let alone their summoned dragon beasts.
"Xiao Qingzhuo, any ideas?" Zhuming Liang asked.
The Divine Green Sacred Dragon flapped its wings and landed straight into the thick nightshade vines, raising its head slightly and emitting a melodious chant like a skylark.
The chant seemed to be a form of communication with nature. The originally chaotic plants slowly spread apart, like a receding tide, exposing the soil beneath the fractured area.
At this moment, Zhuming Liang saw an Iron Claw Tiger Dragon, which was growling low and guarding a short-haired senior sister.
The senior sister lay on the thick leaves, unconscious, while several rat-faced creatures circled around her, their mouths dripping with corrosive saliva, clearly eager to tear her apart and eat her organs!
To demons, dragon tamers were the cultivators among humans. For ordinary rat-faced demons to eat a dragon tamer was equivalent to eating hundreds of people, and their cultivation would increase by at least five to six hundred years.
No wonder, even with an Iron Claw Tiger Dragon guarding her, they had no intention of leaving.
"Hei Ya, Hei Ya!"
Zhuming Liang realized he had no dragon with him and urgently called out.
"Oohh!!"
Not far away, Hei Ya responded, but it seemed to have stepped into a pit and was entangled by dense vines, like an insect trapped in a spider's web.
The Black Fang Dragon was no help, so Zhuming Liang looked at the Divine Green Sacred Dragon beside him.
Xiao Qingzhuo indeed had other abilities. Its vertical pupils flashed, and the giant vines above them wrapped around the rat-faced creatures like tentacles, hanging them upside down!
At this moment, the Iron Claw Tiger Dragon struck, gutting the bound rat-faced creatures and making them taste the pain...
