Chapter 74: Flame Entanglement

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

According to Elder Wood Spirit’s description, they had probably walked for half an hour before reaching the forbidden area of the Wood Spirit Tribe.

“No wonder they call this place forbidden. Even the Wood Spirits would find it difficult to stay here, let alone ordinary humans.”

Mo Xiao remarked as he looked ahead at a towering mountain. Only at the foot of the mountain where they stood, there was a huge cave.

And there was nothing near this high mountain.

There were only bare rocks, and the nearest tree was thousands of meters away.

This was not an ordinary mountain range; it was a volcano.

Occasionally, flames would flicker at the top of the mountain.

This environment was indeed forbidden for the Wood Spirits, as they were plants and such temperatures would cause them to wither and die due to dehydration.

“A sacred place of wood turned into something resembling a sacred place of fire. Quite intriguing,” Mo Xiao chuckled. “Let’s go and complete the task quickly to move on to the next stage.”

“Okay.” Jiang He nodded and carefully followed behind Mo Xiao.

[Congratulations on arriving at the mission location. Mission update.]

[Character introduction: A strange evil aura has appeared in the Wood Spirit’s sacred place, seemingly originating from the outside. However, the entire Wood Spirit’s sacred place is almost under the control of Elder Wood Spirit. Only this area, with its extremely high temperature and no vegetation, remains beyond the observation of Elder Wood Spirit. Perhaps the source of that evil aura lies here.]

[Please explore the entire cave and identify the source of the evil aura! Exploration progress: o%.]

“An exploration mission? Based on the percentage explored on the map?” Mo Xiao was surprised by the mission prompt. He had never seen such a task before.

Even in his previous life, exploring terrain like this was usually turned into an achievement, not a formal mission.

Muttering to himself, Mo Xiao walked straight into the cave.

Unlike other caves, this one was not dark because it was an active volcano. The walls of the cave were filled with flames, making it seem like they could explode at any moment.

“Could the source of the evil aura really come from such a place? The Scarlet Demon Vine is a plant after all. How could it survive in a place full of flames?” Jiang He couldn’t bear the temperature and expressed doubt.

“The Scarlet Demon Vine is not a plant-type monster. It only attaches itself to the Wood Demon Flower and becomes the Scarlet Demon Vine. Its true form should be a crystal filled with evil aura,” Mo Xiao calmly explained.

“Really? How do you know so much?” Jiang He asked, puzzled.

Mo Xiao glanced at Jiang He and said, “When 1 teleported into the hidden space earlier, 1 had encounters with creatures of this evil aura. The Scarlet Demon Vine is already considered weak.”

Just as Mo Xiao was explaining, countless vine-like structures resembling flames suddenly shot up from the ground and entangled them.

The appearance and color of these vines were no different from the patterns on the rocks, making it impossible to distinguish them from the surroundings.

This sudden attack startled both of them.

Without hesitation, Mo Xiao drew his huge sword and swung it, breaking all the vines in one strike.

Immediately, all the vines broke, and the true form of the vines was also revealed under Mo Xiao’s mighty force.

[Flame Flower Vine, Elite]

Level: LV20

HP: 3,000/3,000

Strength: 200

Agility: 100

Spirit: 250

Endurance: 200

Physique: 250

Flame Spit: Spews blazing flames from its mouth, dealing fire damage to nearby targets.

Fiery Vines: Releases fiery red vines that entangle the target, continuously inflicting fire damage.

Flame Burst: Gathers all the fire energy in the body and causes high fire damage to enemies in the area after an explosion.

It was a vine with a red flame-like flower. The color and patterns on its body were very similar to magma.

It was impossible to tell if it was a monster or a rock.

“This is a fire… plant?” Mo Xiao’s expression also became strange upon seeing the monster. “Are there really such bizarre creatures?”

Logically, wood and fire elements should be in direct conflict. Mo Xiao had never thought such a creature would exist.

While Mo Xiao was still feeling surprised, the Flame Flower Vine moved again.

It instantly retracted all the vines and emitted a dazzling red light all over its body.

The next moment, a terrifying burst of flames erupted from its body, directly charging at Mo Xiao with the flames.

“Mo Xiao!!!”

Seeing this scene, Jiang He exclaimed again.

“Why are you shouting?” Mo Xiao rolled his eyes at Jiang He with a speechless expression.

At the same time, he nimbly grabbed the entangled Flame Flower Vine.

-[31

Only then did Jiang He react. She looked at Mo Xiao and realized that there was only negligible damage on his head.

[You brushed against the Flame Flower Vine, and the skill ‘Fiery Vines’ has been copied!]]

[Ding! The power of the Fire God has been triggered! ‘Fiery Vines’ has evolved into ‘Flame Entanglement’!]

[Flame Entanglement: Releases ropes made of flames to entangle enemies, inflicting minor fire damage and causing them to be immobilized.]

“Control skill?” Mo Xiao was slightly delighted.

He didn’t lack survival skills or attack skills right now.

However, he didn’t have any control skills.

Finally, he got one, so naturally, he was happy.

“If we hadn’t come to this place, I might have forgotten that I even had the power of the Fire God skill,” Mo Xiao muttered.

He had been surprised by the flames just now.

But he quickly realized that the power of the Fire God skill made him immune to all fire damage.

There was no need for him to be afraid.

So Mo Xiao just stood there and let the flames of the Flame Flower Vine wash over him, which allowed him to copy the new skill.

Now, he turned his attention to the Flame Flower Vine, which had extinguished its flames.

Without waiting for it to move, Mo Xiao threw it away and slashed it with his sword.

Instantly, he killed it.

[You have killed the Flame Flower Vine Elite and gained 5,000 experience points!]

“5,000 experience points? The experience here is pretty good,” Mo Xiao nodded in satisfaction. “Let’s continue forward. This place should be full of fire-type creatures. You stay behind me; 1 have the skill to be immune to all fire damage.”

Hearing Mo Xiao’s words, Jiang He first opened her mouth, but no words came out.

She had already been surprised enough by Mo Xiao. After all, he had the power of resurrection now, so immunity to fire damage was not that surprising anymore.

“Eh, Mo Xiao, quickly come and take a look. What is this?”

Just as Jiang He was about to follow Mo Xiao and move forward, something special suddenly piqued her curiosity..
