"Li Ze, that's the kid who knocked me down, you have no idea of his power."
Speaking of Li Ze, even Ba Wangba still felt a bit fearful.
In the Northwest War King's peak, aside from Li Ze, no one dares to claim they are first.
"What? You're saying that shout was from Li Ze?"
Tang Rao just found the voice familiar, but he had never heard Li Ze shout like that before.
He is human!
"Yes, I'm sure it's him. As soon as he arrived at the Land of Immortals, he became a Luo Immortal. The entire Energy Circle was black, as black as ink, attracting everyone who went to recruit him."
When Li Ze arrived, he couldn't believe such a lean man could actually have a black Energy Circle.
"Could something have happened to that kid?"
With others, Tang Rao wouldn't even care, but with Li Ze, Tang Rao had to worry.
After all, he was a potential stock he valued highly from Blue Star.
"Impossible, his strength is so great, who could trap him?"
In Ba Wangba's eyes, Li Ze was like a god.
"No, that's a unique distress signal of a Beast Soul User. The person you mentioned, something has happened."
What?
Tang Rao believed the words of the old crane.
He chased the sound and nearby found Li Ze suspended in mid-air by vines, being whipped by them, he was already at death's door.
A Beast Soul User is what they are because of the characteristics of beasts.
When a Beast Soul User is normal, they are like ordinary people. Once heavily injured, they revert to the beast's juvenile state.
Wailing like a beast is both their call for help and self-protection.
"Li Ze, hold on."
Before Li Ze lost consciousness, he thought he was hallucinating.
After breaking into the third area and mistakenly falling into a trap, Li Ze got caught by a powerful person who used Binding Immortal Vine to tie him up, swaying him back and forth over a cliff. Each time the Immortal Vine swung, another vine would whip Li Ze once.
Li Ze's whole body was injured. This kind of torment was slower than directly taking Li Ze's life.
"Boss, it's the boss!"
Li Ze murmured.
The Binding Immortal Vine had a mind of its own.
Realizing Li Ze was still alive, it tightened even more.
The flesh on Li Ze's body was already damaged, and the wounds started to fester, the surroundings couldn't bear to look at it.
"Don't speak for now."
Tang Rao also realized the Binding Immortal Vine had a mind of its own.
The more he shouted, the more the Binding Immortal Vine exerted force, ultimately it was him who suffered.
Li Ze wisely stopped speaking.
The Binding Immortal Vine also wasn't as forceful as before.
"Hahaha, a little piece of meat, two pieces of meat, three pieces of meat, plus one more on top, we can have a feast tonight."
A hoarse voice appeared around Tang Rao.
Only the voice was heard, but the person was unseen, and that's exactly the kind of situation Tang Rao faced.
"Who's there, come out."
Just as Tang Rao finished speaking, he was bound up by enormous pulling force.
Tang Rao never realized when the Binding Immortal Vine approached him, but as soon as the words ended, he was already pulled up.
"You, give me some buffer time, damn it."
Smack!
The first whip landed on Tang Rao as he was suspended over the cliff, and just from the first whip, Tang Rao cried out in pain.
His clothes were torn, his flesh was wounded, and the piercing pain delivered a fatal blow to Tang Rao.
"Brother Tang Rao, I'm here to save you."
The third one.
As Ba Wangba spoke, the Binding Immortal Rope pulled him up as well, leaving only the old crane.
Tang Rao originally thought they would be wiped out, but not having understood the enemy's nature, of course, he wanted to spare his people from suffering.
"Old crane, leave, hurry!"
With strong spiritual power, Tang Rao communicated with the old crane telepathically, hoping to avoid the Binding Rope's pursuit.
"I'm already old, and if I gain a reputation of betrayal at my age, it's certainly not worthwhile. I'll save you."
The old crane seemed calm. He happened to know the owner of the Binding Immortal Vine. However, he didn't know if the vine's owner could resist the temptation of a gourmet meal.
"You? You know this creature that's neither human nor ghost?"
Before Tang Rao's question was answered, the old crane had already stepped into the circle surrounded by Immortal Vines.
His entire body emitted flames, not even daring to approach a step towards the old crane.
So, this old fellow already knew the weakness of the Binding Immortal Vine.
"Octopus, seeing an old acquaintance, aren't you coming out?"
The old crane stamped his feet, his former grace when he first met could no longer be seen, his eyes now brimmed with killing intent.
What the heck is an Octopus?
Tang Rao dared not ask further, for the more active he was atop the cliff, the more he suffered.
"Hahaha, old friend, it's you, do you want to share these three youngsters with me?"
The old man called Octopus emerged.
Originally a faint blue smoke, it transformed into a human shape.
"Who's your old friend? The three you captured are all my friends, release them immediately."
Indeed, just looking at the old crane, he still possessed a sort of authority within.
"Wang He, we are both Hidden Immortal Emperors, part of the same circle. Are you going to jeopardize our relationship just for these few people? Is it worth it?"
The person the old crane called Octopus turned out to also be a Hidden Immortal Emperor. Originally thinking that meeting a Hidden Immortal Emperor was a rare occurrence one might not see in a lifetime, and yet, a couple of encounters have happened. Is there anyone luckier than Tang Rao?
Octopus didn't buy what the old crane said. The few cute ones tied to the cliff looked delicious, perfect for a wild game meal. The ducks at the mouth were not easily relinquished by a mere sentence from the old crane.
"Octopus, just one word, are you releasing them or not?"
In the entire Land of Immortals, Octopus was quite a figure. How could the old crane threaten him?
He stated firmly, "Absolutely not."
Whether for eating or dignity, he would not let go.
"Are you really not letting them go?"
"Not letting go!"
The tension between the two grew, Tang Rao's mind shifted, releasing the Little Fire Ginseng. The clone of Little Fire Ginseng jumped onto the vines of Li Ze and Ba Wangba, instantly setting the vines ablaze. The vines recoiled in pain, dropping Ba Wangba and Li Ze to the ground. Though it hurt them a bit, it didn't end their lives.
Tang Rao also imitated earlier actions, throwing Little Fire Ginseng onto the Binding Rope, bouncing him back as well. These were all inspired by the old crane's actions.
Fortunately, the Binding Rope was timid. Fearing the loss of master's property over the cliff, it chose to retract first.
"You damn bastard, few have dared to bind me up there, we must have a good chat about life today, and I'll tell you about the Dragon Array."
For someone who doesn't have the eye to discern, it's necessary to teach, making Octopus submissive, watching how he could still clamor to eat Tang Rao and the others.
"Big brother, how did you guys get down?"
The old crane knows well the power of the Binding Immortal Vine, having faced Octopus over the years.
