The City of Terror - Chapter 474

Chapter 474

 This swan was too sensitive . It had found the bonfire that Wei Xiao Bei had extinguished so quickly . Finding his trail next wouldn’t be too difficult for it .

More crucially, the swan was not leaving yet . It let out a sharp cry . Soon, two other swans flew out of the tree hollow and joined it .

These three swans were not as unintelligent as the Giants . Even after confirming that the thief was here, the first swan did not act recklessly . Instead, it waited until its two companions joined it before they began searching their surroundings .

Wei Xiao Bei might not have opened his eyes and used [Enlightenment], but he had a pretty good idea that these three swans were probably all individually as powerful as he was . Otherwise, they wouldn’t possibly split up to search for him .

Pursuing the enemy demanded sufficient power . Otherwise, if you were to catch up with the enemy and ended up being defeated instead, it would be a cruel joke .

However, something entirely unexpected happened next .

After walking around the area once, one of the swans landed beside the Boston ivy .

Much like a fly that had smelled blood, the entangled mess of Boston ivy immediately shot toward the swan with the force of a spring . The plant instantly turned into a large web and bound the swan tightly .

The other two swans immediately flew toward their companion at the sight of this . As they beat their wings, countless white feathers fell off and turned into white arrows of light that shot toward the ivy .

Pupupupu!

A series of piercing sounds rang out and the ivy that had wrapped around the swan was tattered and shredded by the feather arrows .

The swan that had been trapped was not injured . It struggled with all its strength to break out of the vines . As it applied increasing force, the vines that were as tough as steel started to break apart .

However, the Boston ivy seemed to have gone berserk as well . It continued to extend its vines, wrapping layer after layer of them around the swan . The vines that had been shot to pieces by the white arrows quickly started regenerating and joining back together . The binding power increased and some smaller and thinner vines even started to stab into the body of the swan .

Blood spattered everywhere

The ivy started extracting the blood inside the swan’s body, causing traces of red to appear all over its vines .

Wei Xiao Bei took advantage of this moment of chaos to take a subtle look at the swan . While weakening the swan’s resistance, he also obtained its status information .

… . .

It had to be admitted that Wei Xiao Bei felt as if these swans, amongst all 3-Star Creatures, posed the most threat to him .

He could sense it . The [Feathers of Light] released by the swans were attacks that he could not defend against in any way . They were fast and there were plenty . More importantly, they were capable of piercing his defenses!

Their [Eye of Truth] was also the key to detecting his [Response Search] . [Odin’s Bloodline] also allowed the swans’ power to increase exponentially in an instant . Of course, there were probably other mysterious attributes to that special skill that he didn’t know of yet .

Fortunately, the swans were currently busy fighting against the Boston ivy . Wei Xiao Bei felt somewhat lucky .

As the battle progressed, he made an observation .

These Boston ivies were the natural banes of the swans!

While there was initially a large number of vines, as the swans fired more and more of their [Feathers of Light] at the ivy, more and more of the Boston ivy was startled awake . These vines quickly joined the battle as well .

Moreover, through his [Response Search], he detected a fair portion of the ivy secretly extending their vines along the tree bark toward the two swans in the air . These vines were like lions hiding in the bush, waiting for the delicious wildebeasts to approach .

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei wouldn’t alert the swans of the approaching danger . He was happy to watch the two ferocious monsters fight . It would be the absolute best scenario if they exhausted each other and he swooped in to take all the spoils for himself .

Andre had now relaxed and was happy to see this fight happen .

Meanwhile, Kashmir was repeatedly gesturing at him saying that this was all due to her .

What credit, you say?

Naturally, the credit of [Innate Luck] .

That said, Wei Xiao Bei did believe that this incident had something to do with Kashmir’s [Innate Luck] . Why else would the swan have landed anywhere else but right beside that mass of Boston ivy?

The cries of the swan drowning in the vines started to grow weaker .

Even with [Odin’s Bloodline], this Swan Maiden could not recover from having its blood drawn by countless vines .

After all, it was only 3-Star Terror rather than 4-Star Terror!

Of course, if it hadn’t accidentally gotten wrapped up in the vines, it would be a completely different result .

The Boston ivies were not capable of flight in any shape or form . The swans naturally possessed the advantage in that regard .

Regardless of how resilient their life force was, their only fate would be getting cut open and tattered, as they would be the only ones taking a beating .

All of a sudden, several new-grown vines abruptly and very silently started growing beneath the two swans . New sprouts were quickly emerging near these vines .

The two swans were completely focused on saving their companion and did not notice the vines reaching up from below at all .

Truly, it was very difficult to guard against .

Even Wei Xiao Bei would have a hard time discovering the vines growing under such circumstances if he didn’t activate [Response Search] .

The sprouts grew so silently and without even a trace of energy flux . This alone would cause most sensitive monsters to let down their guard .

They were close now!

He couldn’t help but feel nervous, even when he was just spectating from a distance .

He wasn’t concerned that the two swans were about to be ensnared, but that the vines might alert the swans prematurely and cause all their work to go to waste .

In just thirty seconds, a large patch of vines had grown out from the tree bark beneath the swans . It was probably over three hundred square meters in size alone .

Finally, when the fastest of the few vines were just thirty centimeters away from the swans, the birds realized something was odd . They turned their elegant and slender necks and looked downward .

Wei Xiao Bei could very clearly see their feathers stand on ends when they saw what lurked beneath them . He didn’t know if the feathers of swans in the real world would stand on ends in this manner when startled, but at the very least, these swans’ feathers did .

Now that they had discovered the creeping vines, the two swans consciously beat their wings and attempted to distance themselves from this approaching danger .

However, it appeared to be too late .

The slowly growing vines instantly erupted in height upon realizing the swans’ intention to flee .

Whooosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Wei Xiao Bei even heard the whistling sound of the vines cutting through the air as they rapidly grew .

In the blink of an eye, all the vines grew another three meters upward!

One of the swans was slow to react and was instantly entangled by several of the vines . After wrapping around the swan several times, the ivy dragged the bird downward .

The other swan reacted much faster . It accelerated just as it was about to be caught and dodged the first few vines .

Perhaps the swan became too relaxed upon escaping danger, for it failed to avoid a vine that wrapped about from the wide . This vine immediately wrapped around the swan’s leg and dragged it towards the ground .

The swan broke the vine as it struggled and severed all the vines around it with its [Feathers of Light] .

However, though an attack like this would have inflicted tremendous damage to any other monster, it was ineffective against these vines . The swan was wrapped by even more vines before it could escape .

Some of these vines were even severed vines that had been cut by the feathers . However, they continued to wrap around the swan tightly after being cut off from the main body . Some of the vines even extended toward the wings of the swan, cutting off its last chance to escape .

Wei Xiao Bei finally let out a sigh of relief upon seeing all three swans captured by the Boston ivy . He remained cautious . He did not barge out to intervene in the battle and instead continued hiding behind the trees and the leaves .

Perhaps it had been a long time since they had caught such a feast . The Boston ivy appeared extremely excited . Countless vines grew out and wrapped the swans into giant dumplings .

He imagined himself in the situation and found that even he would have an incredibly difficult time breaking free from that situation .

However, these swans were still full of fight and energy . [Feathers of Light] could still faintly be seen shooting out of the gaps of the vines .

However, these struggles quickly turned weaker as the thin vines pierced their bodies .

This was a fair demonstration of how annoying and difficult to deal with the Boston ivy could be .

You could shatter and sever its vines, but the vines would still be full of strength and energy, capable of attacking and striking . More importantly, the vines grew at such a shocking pace! They could grow by several meters in the blink of an eye!

Of course, such sudden growth was only used when ambushing the enemy . The vines mostly relied on their movements to deal with the enemy when they already had the enemy wrapped up .

Wei Xiao Bei could sense the first swan starting to falter .

The swan had no means of recovering from the immense blood loss . Even with 43 points of Vitality, it did not have his [Limb Regrowth] . As such, the speed at which it regenerated blood was significantly slower .

Of course, even Wei Xiao Bei’s regenerative speed could not compare to the speed at which the vines were taking the blood .
