Chapter 69 - 69: Resurrection! Platinum-level Boss!
As a familiar voice sounded, the once tranquil Wood Secret Realm suddenly trembled violently, as if experiencing an earthquake.
The next moment, countless thick blood-red roots shot up from the ground like vines.
They headed straight for Mo Xiao and Jiang He.
The attack was incredibly fast, catching even Mo Xiao off guard.
“Jiang He! Don’t move!”
Mo Xiao shouted in a low voice and activated the reaction speed of the Divine War God to the limit.
He swiftly swung his Four Symbols Heavy Sword.
“Clang!”
With a heavy sound of metal clashing, the airborne roots were severed and crashed heavily to the ground.
With the appearance of the red roots, the eerie monster finally revealed its true form.
It was a vine covered in scarlet, furry tentacles, exuding an aura of evil and danger.
At the top of the vine was a dark red flower with a black bead at its center, resembling an eye.
The bead was profound, emanating a crimson light that sent shivers down one’s soul. Inside the open flower, one could see densely arranged sharp teeth and a scorching mouth, emitting a strong smell of blood and malevolence that made people shudder.
Looking at the monster in front of him, Mo Xiao’s expression grew increasingly serious.
“Detection Skill.”

“!!!”
Looking at the terrifying attributes of the Scarlet Demon Vine in front of him, not to mention Jiang He, even Mo Xiao’s expression became even more solemn.
Especially this last skill, it was intertwined.
Heals 20% of his maximum health every second!
What kind of concept was this!
Unless he could directly insta-kill him!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to defeat him!
“Mo Xiao… what should we do? Why don’t we run?” Jiang He hid behind Mo Xiao with a terrified expression, her entire body trembling weakly.
Seeing Jiang He like this, Mo Xiao sighed helplessly, “It’s fine. With me around, nothing will happen.”
As he spoke, Mo Xiao’s body flashed, and Little Gray instantly appeared beside Mo Xiao.
It was originally smiling, but after sensing the surrounding aura, its expression instantly distorted.
Clearly, it didn’t like this feeling either.
“Woo-” Little Gray whimpered softly at Mo Xiao, as if it wanted to return to the pet space.
Mo Xiao stroked Little Gray’s head and said, “Little Gray, run further away with Jiang He. You have the auspicious attribute, so you should be lucky.”
As he spoke, Mo Xiao stretched out his right hand, and a second Four Symbols Heavy Sword appeared in his hand. “Leave this big guy to me.”
Although facing such a terrifying monster, using bows and arrows to grind blood would have a certain advantage, just like how Mo Xiao had dealt with Guardian 2 previously.
However, this guy was completely different.
Unless it triggered instant death, no matter how much HP was grinded, it would instantly recover to full.
“It would be great if we could issue a death sentence declaration, as well as sanctions…”
Mo Xiao took a deep breath and looked straight at the terrifying scarlet vine.
As soon as he turned around, Mo Xiao’s pupils constricted slightly.
More than half of the previously huge open space was now occupied by this strange red vine.
Although he did not know what effect this vine had on him, from the situation, it was clearly not a good thing.
Seemingly sensing Mo Xiao’s gaze, the huge flower at the top of the Scarlet Demon Vine slowly faced Mo Xiao.
The pearl in the middle moved slightly like an eyeball.
“You humans are all like this. Protect your companions? Hahahaha! Ridiculous! Bring your companions and turn them into my nourishment!”
With a sharp roar, the flower on the top of the Scarlet Demon Vine suddenly grew larger.
Then, a dark purple liquid that emitted a stench rose into the air.
The next moment, it exploded in the air.
Like rain, it instantly covered the entire barrier.
“Advanced Resistance Fire Ring!”
Seeing this, Mo Xiao did not panic at all and directly enveloped Jiang He with a Ring of Fire.
Immediately, the poison that fell on Jiang He was completely pushed away by the Ring of Fire.
On the other hand, Mo Xiao seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll in the poisonous liquid. It was as if he was dancing as he rapidly moved.
Not only did he not come into contact with a drop of venom, but he also took this opportunity to cross dozens of meters.
He moved in front of the Scarlet Demon Vine.
“Compared to the Guardian, you seem much clumsier.
“Dragon Wings!
“Power Halo!
“Brutal Power!
“Full-strength attack!
“Shattering Mountains and Rivers!”
A violent sword aura erupted from Mo Xiao’s hand.
As if it was about to shatter a mountain, it hurtled towards the Scarlet Demon Vine.
-122,728!
In an instant, a number exceeding 100,000 appeared above the Scarlet Demon Vine’s head.
This was the first time Mo Xiao had gone all out since obtaining the Four Symbols Set.
Although Mo Xiao had some expectations, he never imagined the damage would be this high.
“This damage… is too high…”
At the edge of the barrier, Jiang He looked at the red number in the air in disbelief.
It’s just too powerful.
Even my Uncle Jiang Shan would find it difficult to deal with such numbers…
While Jiang He was in shock, Mo Xiao’s expression grew even more unpleasant.
120,000 damage had indeed been astonishing.
It far exceeded the Scarlet Demon Vine’s maximum HP.
In theory, it should have been defeated in one hit.
However…
The Scarlet Demon Vine showed no signs of injury at all.
At that moment, a phantom red shield slowly appeared around it.
Then it shattered into countless cracks.
[Beep, the scarlet barrier has been shattered! Please attack as soon as possible!]
As soon as the system notification sounded, the red light appeared again.
It enveloped the Scarlet Demon Vine again.
[Scarlet Demon Vine activated the Scarlet Barrier, HP: 100,000/100,000]
