Chapter 70: Deep of the Cave, Late Foundation Vine! (3)
Feeling anxious as the scent of Vitality Ginseng in the air magnified by amount as time passed by, the group began to ready themselves for the inevitable battle.
"We can't wait any longer, If we didn't take the initiative, we might miss the chance to get the Earth Vitality Ginseng!"
Without hesitating any further, the group rushed forward, deep into the cave where the sound of battle originated...
Summoning a large flame in order to illuminate the environment...
Boom!
Thud!
Upon entering, the group immediately saw the figures of countless beasts lifelessly lying on the surrounding ground. Their wounds were in varying degrees and their eyes carried dull indignation as they stared at the distance.
In the further distance, the figure of the Armored Boar could be seen, lying weakly on the ground as its chest heaved up and down heavily...
Not far away from it, dozens of vines similar to long tentacles could be seen hitting the surrounding beast heavily. Its vines similar to iron whips leave deep wounds on anything it hits.
This...
The group thought as they instinctively halted their movement.
The sticky fluid of crimson blood added to the mud under their feet began to stick on their shoes and stephens ( A kind of footwear in Asia) adding weight to them as they scanned the surroundings in momentarily stunned expressions.
After a short second of being dazed, Leo regained his senses as he instinctively scanned the vine with his soul scan.
Ding!
[ Demon Vine (Epic): Level ???
Innate: ??? ]
...
This... Core formation realm!
Leo horrifiedly thought as he instinctively stepped back... Knowing that he would die immediately if he fought that thing.
Heck, even if it was an elite late foundation beast, he wouldn't win even if there were two of him! Not to mention the epic Core Formation realm...
"F*ck! That is Core Formation Demon plant!"
Jake shouted as he stared at the vine demon in the distance with a fearful expression, making the group's expression grave...
...
Without hesitation, the group was about to retreat when suddenly, Rosa frowned as she examined the demon vine in the distance.
Feeling that something was amiss, she hurriedly gestured to the group to stop before pointing toward the vine demon in the distance, her expression was complicated as if she was hesitating about something.
"... It seems that its attack power is lacking and it was also injured..." She said as she scanned the incomplete body of the vines.
Although the vine looked strong outside, its plant body was greatly injured and was missing some vines...
"Let's go, who cares whether it was injured or not, even if it's on its last leg we could still not fight it without suffering CASUALTIES!!"
Roland almost shouted upon seeing the group's hesitating face upon hearing Rosa.
Although the demon vine looked really injured, Roland still commanded the group to retreat without any hesitation...
Due to him almost reaching the core formation realm and knowing the capability of the core formation realm (based on past experiences), he knew that if they faced that enemy the chances of them dying were higher compared to their chances of killing it... Since the difference between the Foundation realm and the Core Formation realm is almost the same as the small mound and mountain!
Even if the mountain was slashed in half, it was still larger than a mound by a dozen times!
...
"Let's go!"
C-Crack! Bang!
Boom!
However, before the group could move, the figure of the demon vine in the distance began to change drastically.
Its dozen vines which could only reach 10 meters away from its roots began to transform. At first, sharp thorns that easily reached 10 centimeters began to appear on its vine body, followed by the size of its vine beginning to enlarge drastically from the original 10 meters to 25 meters long.
ROaarr!
Seeing the Demon Vine's drastic changes, the beasts attacking it instinctively step back in fear before quickly releasing a loud angry roar as if their reasoning were stripped to them... Again...
Boom!
Boom!
In an instant, the cave was thrown into chaos...

C-Crack!
In the mids of the chaos, a loud cracking sound echoed in the cavern as the stones, stalactites, and stalagmites began to fall and shatter one by one.
In the next seconds, countless beasts began to storm at the entrances of the cave...
Entrapped by the allure of the scent/fragrance inside the cave which at some point increases drastically...
Causing the group to not be able to escape in time and could only hide in the corner of the cavern as they watched the bloody event unfold in front of their eyes, holding their breath, afraid to make noise...
...
"I plan to activate my skills that could create fog in the surrounding area, helping us to hide..." Leo whispered to the group, not waiting for them to reply as he immediately activated his "Mist of Illusion" and "Wisp of Poision" skills...
Instantly blanketing their surroundings with gray-green fog, making the beast fall momentarily blank before regaining their senses and following the strong scent in the distance.
Although the mist could weaken the beast's senses, the fragrance in the front is much stronger... Causing the Fog to not be able to mask the smell.

"This... This skill could suppress senses?" Jake couldn't help but ask Leo beside him upon detecting that the beasts slowed down within the fog.
Although they could not see what was happening to the other side and within the fog, Jake's detection skill was still working fine, allowing him to feel/detect the beast within the fog.
(Leo controlled the fog to maintain a 3-meter distance away from the group to avoid them from inhaling the fog)
"Yes, but it would affect anything within the fog, whether they are enemy or not..."
Leo replied in detail upon seeing the doubt in Jake's eyes, probably wondering why Leo never used this skill in the past.
Boom!
