Ch77 - Wisteria Vine

A few days later, Liu Mufeng and his party walked into a bush. Liu Mufeng stopped in front of a fruit tree covered with red fruits. This fruit tree was as tall as a person and was laden with red fruits that were the size of quail eggs. Under the sunlight, the fruits were glowing red and looked very appealing. Moreover, it gave people a feeling that it would be juicy, sweet and refreshing, which made people want to pick it up and taste it.

“Mufeng, you want to pick fruits? I’ll help you pick it.” Wang Jiang said flatteringly as he stepped forward.

Liu Mufeng shook his head and stopped Wang Jiang. “Just stand here and watch. If a demon beast comes over, call me.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng took out a pair of black gloves and put them on, then he started picking the red fruits from the tree. This time Liu Mufeng did not use soul power but picked the fruit directly with his own hands. He took out a jade box and carefully put the fruits into it.

After collecting two full fruit boxes, Liu Mufeng then used his soul power to pull up the entire fruit tree from the ground. He put it directly into his storage ring and planned to transplant it into the bracelet dimension at night.

Seeing that Liu Mufeng even pulled the tree, Wang Jiang couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He thought,‘I don’t know what kind of fruit this is, but my cousin actually likes this fruit so much that he even pulled up the tree.’

After picking the fruits, Liu Mufeng took off the gloves. He carefully put them into the storage ring and continued to move forward.

“Cousin, what kind of fruit is that? Do you like it very much? If you like it, I’ll help you find some more?” Wang Jiang asked with a smile.

Liu Mufeng shook his head. “This is a Red Cloudberry fruit. If you eat one, it can poison people. Do you want me to eat more poison?”

Seeing Liu Mufeng’s puzzled look, Wang Jiang hurriedly shook his head. “No, no, no, I didn’t know it was a poisonous fruit.”

“Cousin, since it’s a poisonous fruit, why did you pick so many?” Zhang Hui asked curiously.

Liu Mufeng sneered. “The next time a demon beast breaks into my tent, or when I’m in a bad mood, I’ll put the juice of the Red Cloudberry fruit into your food. What do you think, cousin?”

“Hehe, cousin, don’t, don’t make such a joke.” Looking at Liu Mufeng’s cold eyes, Zhang Hui felt a chill running down on his back.

“Oh, yes, cousin, don’t tell jokes like that. I’m getting goosebumps all over.” With a smile, Wang Jiang hurriedly looked at Liu Mufeng to please him.

“It’s just a joke. Are my two cousins so timid?” He smiled lightly. Liu Mufeng did not continue to speak. However, the faces of the other five people were strangely ugly.

Liu Mufeng sauntered, and while walking, he smelled the surrounding scent as if he was looking for something.

“Cousin, what are you looking for? Do you want me to help you find it?” Wang Jiang asked, looking at Liu Mufeng’s strange behavior. However, Liu Mufeng ignored him.

Looking at Liu Mufeng ignoring him as usual, Wang Jiang sighed and felt very depressed. Mufeng was not like this in the past, now he doesn’t like to care for himself anymore.

The group of six continued to move forward. While walking, suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes.

“Brother, there seems to be some noise. Did you hear it?” Looking at her brother, Zhang Yan asked.

“Yeah, there seems to be a demon beast! Be careful!” After speaking, Zhang Hui took out his magic blade.

“En!” Nodding, Zhang Yan was about to show off her magic weapon when a purple vine that was as thick as the wrist and covered with barbs protruded from the grass and suddenly wrapped around Zhang Yan’s ankle, dragging her directly into the grass.

“Ahhh…” Staggering, Zhang Yan’s center of gravity became unstable, and she fell to the ground. She was dragged into the grass by the purple vines.

“Bastard!” With a low curse, Zhang Yan hurriedly took out her blade and slashed the purple vines under her feet.

“Qiang, qiang…” The blade slashed into the vine, making a crisp crashing sound. But the vine showed no sign of being cut off.

“Sister!” With a startled cry, Zhang Hui hurried to chase after Zhang Yan. One after another, he launched a series of blade attacks on the vine. But it was useless.

Seeing that Zhang Yan was taken away, Liu Mufeng immediately ran in Zhang Yan’s direction.

“Let go! Let me go, you disgusting bastard!” Zhang Yan, not being able to cut the vines off, scolded the vines on her legs more than a dozen times. After hitting the purple vine, it still didn’t hurt or itch, which greatly changed Zhang Yan’s complexion.

With a thought, Liu Mufeng took out a live fish and threw it out.

The purple vine immediately stretched out and swept away the spiritual fish.

Liu Mufeng followed the position of the purple vine and chased the opponent’srhizome. He ran so fast in another direction while everyone thought he was trying to save Zhang Yan!

At this moment, Zhang Yan was already dragged more than five meters. No matter how hard she tried to break free from the vines from her ankles, it was to no avail. Her white ankles were smeared with flesh and blood due to the barbs on the vines. Black blood was ticking and dripping down the ankles.

Not only Zhang Yan but Zhang Hui and the three brothers of the Wang family were also caught by the purple vines, dragging them in the same direction. No matter how the five resisted or attacked the vines, it didn’t seem to hurt or even gave a dent when they hit the vine. Whatever methods they used were useless, and they couldn’t slow down the speed of the vine in the slightest.

Running to the root of the purple vine, Liu Mufeng was also directly wrapped around his waist by a vine that was as thick as three arms combined. Being entangled, Liu Mufeng did not struggle but immediately released his more than 2,000 Fire Spirit Insects.

As soon as the Fire Spirit Insects were released, the vine around Liu Mufeng’s waist immediately burned. The vine seemed to feel the pain. It shook, let go of Liu Mufeng, and shrank back directly. However, the Fire Spirit Insects never had the intention of letting go of the other party, constantly clinging to the vine and continuing to release its own flame to burn the vine.

Falling to the ground, looking at the bloodstains seeping from wounds on his waist, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help but raise his brows. Wisteria Vines, born with poison, were covered with barbs. It was a carnivorous plant. This kind of plant was most suitable for a wood-type cultivator like him to keep and use as a weapon.

With the crazy burning of the Fire Spirit Insects, the violet vine felt terrible and took back several other vines. It began to fight hard against the Fire Spirit Insects on its body. However, the flames on the vines burned more and more vigorously, and they couldn’t be beaten no matter how much they were slapped.

Liu Mufeng released a few Wood Spirit Insects with a wave of his hand. “Go tell it. If it doesn’t want to die, then it should make a contract with me and be my Spiritual Plant. Otherwise, I will burn it to death!” The Wood Spirit Insects could plant spiritual plants and were the best at communicating with spiritual plants.

After receiving Liu Mufeng’s order, the Wood Spirit Insects immediately flew over to communicate with the Wisteria Vine.

At first, the violet vine was very repulsive, and Liu Mufeng immediately released his own beast fire.

Wisteria Vine froze as soon as it saw the flame eagle circling around him. Plants were naturally afraid of fire, and Liu Mufeng’s fire insects and beast fire were fatal threats to the violet vines. Therefore, the violet vine was very afraid of the beast fire. It immediately and obediently agreed to make the contract. He concluded a master-servant contract with Liu Mufeng.

After the contract was concluded, the Wisteria Vine immediately shrank, turned into a small vine sapling and wrapped itself around Liu Mufeng’s right wrist.

Taking out a bottle of spiritual elixir, Liu Mufeng took care of the wounds on his waist that were punctured by the barbs of the purple vine. Then, he took out the jade box and ate a Red Cloudberry fruit to detoxify the vine’s poison. The Red Cloudberry fruit itself was poisonous, but it could fight poison with poison and remove the poison of Wisteria Vine. Generally, where Red Cloudberry fruits could be found, there would be Wisteria Vines. The two belong to the relationship of mutual growth and mutual restraint.

Seeing Liu Mufeng taking the detoxifying fruit, Wang Jiang’s eyes lit up. “Cousin, sell me a fruit!” Wang Jiang knew that it would be impossible for Liu Mufeng to freely give him the fruit. If Liu Mufeng was willing to sell him one, it would be good.

“Three thousand spirit stones!” Looking at Wang Jiang, Liu Mufeng said lightly.

“Okay!” Nodding, Wang Jiang hurriedly took out the spirit stones to buy the fruit. Seeing that Wang Jiang bought the fruit, the others also took out the spirit stones in a tacit understanding and bought the detoxifying fruit from Liu Mufeng as well.

“Master, you are really amazing. You actually know that the Red Cloudberry fruit can cure my poison!”The Wisteria Vine said flatteringly.

“Of course. Otherwise, why do you think I would contract with you?” If he didn’t know about the Wisteria Vine, how could Liu Mufeng casually contract with it? He was not the kind of idiot like the Zhang brother and sister were. If you don’t know anything, you still dare to get the Nine-petaled flower.

After dealing with their injuries, the six did not continue their journey but found a secluded place and sat down to rest together.

“Mufeng, in fact, you picked those Red Cloudberry fruits to understand the poison of the Wisteria Vines, right?” Wang Jiang asked with a smile.

“Yes, there’s this reason. Red Cloudberry fruit can be used as both an antidote and a poison. It just depends on how you use it.” Having said this, Liu Mufeng smiled meaningfully.

“Mufeng, I think you are very powerful, and you know a lot of things.” From the relationship between the nine-petaled flower, the verdant scorpion grass, the golden-capped scorpion, the Red Cloudberry and the Wisteria Vines, Wang Jiang felt that there were no spiritual plants and demon beasts that Mufeng didn’t know along the way. Even if it was just an inconspicuous insect or an inconspicuous grass, Mufeng could name it and say what roles it played. It was simply omniscient!

“It’s nothing. I just read it in the book.” Laughing, Liu Mufeng said disapprovingly. In fact, for a cultivator, the books he read belonged to the idle category and were the most useless books. However, Liu Mufeng didn’t think so. He believed that history, geography, plants, animals, everything had their inevitable meaning. And the more you know, the more you can understand how to use them to help yourself.

“Oh!” Nodding, Wang Jiang felt that his cousin Liu Mufeng was a typical erudite person.
