Global Lords: My Species Can Mutate

Chapter 129: Chapter 128: Source of Corruption

Accompanied by the exclamations of cultivators.

Suddenly, a large expanse of terrifying black mist surged from the rift in the distance.

“Thump thump…”

“Thump thump…”

The sound was like a heartbeat, echoing in the ears of everyone present.

Gradually.

A massive shadow, several tens of meters tall, appeared above the dimensional rift, slowly crossing over.

The first thing to come into view was a giant root-like tentacle, reminiscent of octopus tentacles, constantly moving outside the dimensional rift.

Those roots were covered with dense nodules, which incessantly seeped out large amounts of green viscous fluid, looking extremely horrifying.

However, that was not the most terrifying aspect.

At the tangled top of those giant roots, at the center of countless nodules, there was actually a gigantic heart, continuously beating!

Furthermore, on the nodules nearby, strange human faces appeared.

Crying, crazed laughter, suffering, lamentation—various sounds continually echoed in the ears, like resentful spirits haunting, sending chills down the spine.

What kind of twisted plant was this?

Never mind Lin You, many Lords have probably never seen it!

And just as he was shocked and inexplicable, the attributes of the plant suddenly appeared in his view.

[Name: Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine (Corrupted)]

[Race: Plant]

[Level: Tier Eight]

[Power: 1000]

[Constitution: 1000]

[Agility: 1000]

[Spirit: 2500]

[Skills: Devouring (Devours corpses to quickly recover injuries.), Confusion (The faces on the Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine have a strong confusing effect, capable of beguiling and controlling enemies.), Corruption (Corrupts surrounding demons, causing them to mutate, fall into madness, and enhance certain attributes.)]

[Corrupted Source: As long as the Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine is not dead, the corrupted demons nearby will continuously regenerate, endlessly.]

[Introduction: A plant polluted by Demonic Qi, not very aggressive itself, but can corrupt surrounding demons to mutate, devastating all life in its path.]

!!!

Tier Eight Demon!

Lin You was utterly astounded.

Unexpectedly, a Tier Eight appeared here too!

But that wasn’t the most important thing.

The most unimaginable part for him was that this Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine actually had its own exclusive skills just like his Heroic Species!

As long as it doesn’t die, the surrounding demons will constantly regenerate and their attributes will be enhanced.

Doesn’t that mean the Tier Seven Demons he just killed will regenerate as well?!

While thinking.

The Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine suddenly emitted a large cloud of black mist, spreading it outwards.

It truly was just as Lin You guessed.

The fragmented demon corpses, enveloped in the black mist, began to rise again!

“Damn!”

Seeing this scene, even someone as composed as Lin You couldn’t help but curse.

He dared not hesitate, immediately gathering all plants around him to launch an attack on the Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine.

Because he knew very well.

If the Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine continued to live, the corrupted demons around would only increase in number.

The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

“Full speed ahead!”

With Lin You’s shout, all species activated their skills, furiously clearing the surrounding plants, drawing closer to the Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine.

For a moment, vines and wooden thorns flew, explosions resounded continuously.

The entire area surrounding the rift descended into a chaotic battle.

Fortunately, the corrupted black mist of the Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine did not affect his species.

Under the crowd-controlling mushroom of the Tier Seven Mushroom Demon King and the confusing charm of the Enchanting Beldam’s Charming Poisonous Mist, the obstructing demons were finally forced aside.

Lin You led the Plant Legion, charging straight into the core, arriving swiftly before the Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine.

Seeing the madly flailing giant roots, he immediately issued an order to launch a direct attack on the massive heart at the top.

Yet in the next second.

The unexpected occurred!

Suddenly, the faces on the Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine opened their eyes, emitting a terrifying screech in unison, causing the air all around to start warping.

Just about to attack, the plants were instantly disrupted by this sound, chaotically running around.

Even Lin You felt dizzy, his limbs weak.

The Tier Seven species managed to break free from control after a while.

But those Tier Six, due to level suppression, began to attack each other, completely unable to discern friend from foe!

Thud!

Suddenly, the sound of plants being pierced rang out.

The two Tier Seven Blade Shadow Lions clearing the path out front were punctured by the roots of the Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine, dying on the spot.

Lin You snapped back to reality.

Only to find that his species had already begun a full-scale collapse.

By the looks of it, another twenty Tier Six species had already fallen prey to the stealth attacks of the demons.

Even the path leading to the Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine was once again blocked by emerging demons, making it hard to advance!

“Damn it!”

Lin You’s face was grim, immediately using his Spirit link to awaken the chaotic plants, reassembling them.

In a mere few minutes.

His species had been reduced by nearly thirty percent!

Watching those demons killed by them slowly revive under the black mist, urgency finally crept onto Lin You’s face.

“Lord! We’re here!”

Just then, a loud shout suddenly pierced through the distance.

Hundreds of silhouettes riding horses appeared, charging towards his side.

Leading them was Wei Gang, who had stayed in Yellow Sand City to rally reinforcements!

“Wei Gang? Why are you here?”

Lin You used the gap provided by his species to turn and look at Wei Gang who had already arrived in the battle circle.

Behind Wei Gang were over a hundred Tier Six Cultivators!

Lin You hadn’t remembered there being so many Tier Six Cultivators in Yellow Sand City.

Seeming to perceive Lin You’s confusion, Wei Gang quickly explained: “Lord, forgive me, it was underling’s decision to have Manager Xue use all the funds to temporarily issue a call to assemble cultivators nearby for assistance.”

Saying this, he leapt off his horse, swiftly arriving in front of Lin You.

Upon hearing this, Lin You felt invigorated and, without any hesitation, commanded: “Good! Well done, immediately take them to help me fend off those Tier Six demons, and tell them, rewards for blocking demons are doubled!”

In the current situation.

Lin You couldn’t afford to worry about much more.

After all, he still had over two hundred thousand Magic Energy and tens of thousands in funds from Yellow Sand City, enough to hire those cultivators.

As long as he could destroy this dimensional rift, everything would be worth it!

Those cultivators who had followed were also extremely excited upon hearing his shout.

Even those who were about to retreat immediately changed their minds, returning to join the fight.

As the saying goes, great rewards bring forth bravery.

The forces around Lin You quickly swelled to nearly three hundred!

In a blink, the tide of the battle changed again.

“Kill!!”

The cultivators roared mightily, joining the combat en masse, continuously slaying those newly revived Tier Six demons.

And under the healing of the Elf Master and Wood Spirit, they fought with increasing fervor, gradually gaining the upper hand in the battle.

As for Lin You, he led his nearby species to eliminate those emerging Tier Seven species, denying them any chance of regeneration, while simultaneously blocking the remaining Tier Seven.

The entire vicinity plunged once more into an epic clash, battle cries echoing as one.

Finally.

After losing five Tier Seven and dozens of Tier Six species, Lin You managed to lead his species back in front of the Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine.

This time Lin You was prepared.

Giving no chance for the Thousand-Faced Deceitful Vine to emit a second screech, three remaining Tier Seven Blade Shadow Lions beside him transformed into streaks of light, darting forward.

Slash, slash, slash!

All giant roots blocking their way were cut apart.

Meanwhile, the Power of Nature from the Demon King Dragon and Demon Consort Dragon in the sky had also fully recovered.

Instantly activating the Rapid Shadow skill, swiftly flying towards the sky!
