Chapter 249 Danger is Coming
Shen Yunxi's eyes darkened. This woman seemed to be more complex than she appeared. Of course, anyone who could participate in the Star-Picking Pavilion's assessment was bound to be simple.
Just then, a series of chilling roars suddenly came from the depths of the thick fog. The sound was like the howl of a wild beast, or a roar from hell.
Immediately afterwards, several dark figures emerged from the mist. They were incredibly fast, like ghosts, and launched indiscriminate attacks on the fleeing crowd.
The Soul Imprint Masters, whose soul power was suppressed, were like lambs to the slaughter. Without the protection of their soul skills and companion soul spirits, they were even less agile than ordinary people. Faced with this sudden change, they panicked and completely forgot how to react.
A huge fist suddenly emerged from the mist, accompanied by a whistling sound, and smashed straight towards Shentu Zihan and her group.
The fist was several meters wide, as if it were carved from a giant rock, with a rough, pitted surface, exuding a primitive and wild aura.
Black mist swirled around the fist, with some eerie patterns faintly visible, radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.
If this attack lands, Shen Tu Zihan and the others will probably be turned into mincemeat.
To make matters worse, the ground suddenly cracked open, and countless green vines as thick as wrists shot out of the ground like venomous snakes that had been lurking for a long time, wrapping around the ankles of Shen Tu Zihan and her group.
These vines are no ordinary plants; their surfaces are covered with sharp, barbed thorns, like razor blades, which pierce their flesh, causing blood to gush out instantly and stain the ground red.
"Without a trace!"
Shen Tu Zihan cried out in alarm, feeling a sharp pain in her ankle. Looking down, she saw that the vine was deeply embedded in her flesh, and blood was flowing down the vine.
The sudden turn of events turned her face deathly pale. The gust of wind blew off the white veil covering her face, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face. However, at this moment, her once bright and intelligent eyes were filled with fear and despair.
"Miss!"
The man beside her cried out in surprise, reacting swiftly as he drew his sword. With a flash of light, he slashed fiercely at the vines wrapped around Shen Tu Zihan's ankle.
However, these vines were as hard as steel, and even a sharp sword blade could not leave a mark on them.
Chen Jiaojiao's scream shattered the tranquility of the mountain forest. She was crying so hard that her makeup was ruined, and she looked like a clown in a play.
"Help! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" she cried, struggling desperately to break free of the vines, but all her efforts were in vain.
Huang Liang was in no better shape. His face was deathly pale, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence. He slumped to the ground, his eyes vacant, as if he had given up all resistance.
Li Daheng was so frightened that his face turned ashen and he was covered in cold sweat. He closed his eyes tightly and muttered something under his breath, as if he were praying for something.
The other two men in the group were in stark contrast: one trembled with fear, like a leaf swaying in the wind, while the other rolled his eyes back, fainted, and fell to the ground unconscious.
Fear spread like a plague among those few people, and their faces were filled with despair and helplessness.
An Mu'an's ankle was also entangled by the sudden attack of vines, and the sharp barbs pierced her skin, bringing a stinging pain.
