Chapter 2295  Poisoning The Poisoner

With the Chimeric Beasts cleared, the group could now take the chance to assess the condition of the plant.

”It no longer has the rich supply of Death Qi, we need to hit the Fruiting Bodies now.” Lady Kang said as she began to prepare a skill.

”Wait!” Lin Mu interrupted them. ”Just destroying the Fruiting Bodies wonʼt do much to the plant itself, it will grow them back again. We need attacks that can penetrate the entire plant from the Fruiting Bodies.” He explained, having listened to Xukongʼs words before.

”So we need to poison it?” Ziran quickly grabbed on.

”If poison even works on that thing.” Qiao De said.

”Whether it be poison or skills that can spread through the body, throwing everything that has a chance to work.” Lin Mu said as he clenched his fist.

He already had a skill that was perfect for it, and he had used it to destroy many Dantians before.

Two streaks of energy spun in Lin Muʼs arm, one red and one yellow. The two energies turned into ribbons before melding together. These were none other than Vitality and Metal Elemental immortal Qi. ”Boulder Collapsing Fist: Third Form- Metal Devastator!” Lin Mu punched out, sending a helix like robbing that directly drilled into the flesh of the Fruiting Body from the inside. ~SHAK~SHAK~SHAK~SHAK~

From there, the energy of Metal Devastator spread, causing small bursts that splattered the sap of the Chimera Plant. But soon, it found its way into the branch of the Chimera Plant!

Once it entered there, it was as if the energy of Metal Devastator had become overcharged.

~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~

”The branch is cracking!?” The group watched as fine cracks appeared all over the branch, from which razor sharp bursts of metal energy escaped.

Seeing that Lin Muʼs skill was working, Lady Kang switched up the skill she was going to use and activated it.

Eighteen Stars rose from her hands and took shape above her.

Bright light was released from the stars, as they transformed to take the shape of an animal.

”88 Constellation Series: Thirty Third Form- The Scorpius!” Lady Kang chanted as the transformed stars moved.

The illusory scorpion shook its tail and glared at the Fruiting Body of the Chimera Plant as if it were a foe.

”Scorpionʼs Toxifying Sting!” Lady Kang chanted.

Then in the next second, the scorpion moved its tail striking the Fruiting Body through the openings in its sides.

~SHING~

The sting penetrated the fruit right at the part where it attached to the branch.

A shining white fluid dripped out of the place where the Scorpionʼs stinger had pierced. But more of the same fluid had entered the branch as well, which was soon about to show its effects.

~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~

And sure enough, the branch started to crack again, as brilliant white energy leaked out from its cracks along with the shimmering white liquid.

It was clear that this was a poisoning skill, that was much stronger than a common one.

The cracks from the first branch had already reached its joining node, while the cracks from the second branch that Lady Kang had targeted were about half done.

”I canʼt lag behind.” Crown Princess Shang said as she took out eighteen small seeds. The seeds looked rather normal and were just a plain brown in color. One couldnʼt even feel an energy fluctuations from them, making them seem rather mundane.

But once, Crown Princess Shang poured her energy into them, the seeds rapidly started to sprout.

~WHOOSH~

The Crown Princess threw them accurately into the opening of the Fruiting Body and watched as the seeds started to grow rapidly.

Tens of vines burst forth from it and wrapped around everything they could grab. Roots also extended from it and pierced though flesh of the Fruiting Body, before it started to parasitize it.

”Huh, will that plant help?” Qiao De couldnʼt understand. ”Wonʼt the poisonous sap of the Chimera Plant hurt it?” he asked, seeing that several of the vines were literally corroding and melting down from the sap.

”Just wait, theyʼll last as long as I need them to.” Crown Princess Shang said as she gathered more energy within her palms.

At the same time, the vines from the seeds she had thrown somehow managed to outgrow the corrosive effect of the sap. While the sap was still melting it down, the vines had a faster pace of spread and the same could be said for the roots that had somehow reached the point of attachment for the branch too.

In just the span of thirty seconds, the vines had fully covered the Fruiting Body as well as the Branch it was attached to.

And soon, small buds developed on the vines, before blooming into a flower that looked like a squash blossom.

”Is that… A Parasitic Immortal Curcurbita?” Lin Mu finally recognized seeing the flower.

”It is indeed.” Crown Princess Shang said as she continued to gather more and more Qi in her palms. Her palms had turned green while veins of red could be seen snaking through them. Whatever skill she intended to use was certainly one with a heavy energy consumption for sure.

”But howʼs the Parasitic Immortal Curcurbita withstand that sap?” Ziran was surprised. ”While they tend to be hardy, they arenʼt this hardy.” ”They were especially bred by me. Iʼve modified them to have rich vitality, fast rate of growth and hardiness.” Crown Princess Shang replied. ”Though in exchange, their lifespan is very short.”

”How short?” Lin Mu asked.

”Three minutes.” Crown Princess Shang said as she slammed her palms together.

~HUALA~

From her palms flames burst forth, before she drew them apart.

”Shang Imperial Scripture: Weed Purging Sickle!” Crown Princess Shang chanted as a sickle formed.

The sickle was green while red streaks of energy crawled through its blade. Lin Mu could sense a strange feeling from the sickle, as if it was made to be the enemy of all plants.
