Lin Yun ignored it and only uttered a single character. Four flaming vortexes appeared in front of him, and a gold-red lance that was over three meters long drilled out of the Flame Vortex. Gold runes were carved on that lance, and it was doused in golden flames.
Once the spear completely came out of the flame vortex, it looked like a large hand condensed from flames was holding it.
Woosh!
A sharp, cracking sound echoed as the huge hand wielding the golden lance ruthlessly impaled the main body of the Mana Devouring Vine, pinning it to the ground.
The Mana Devouring Vine frantically struggled, twitching like an enormous snake. Its huge body was slamming against the Wisdom Tree's branch, making it shudder.
Lin Yun sneered. He had spent so much effort just to find its main body, nothing more. Those ruthless vines were basically only clones, and as long as the main body of the Mana Devouring Vine wasn't killed, it could possess as many clones as it wanted. Killing it from exhaustion wasn't a feasible plan.
As a large number of vines rushed at him from behind, three Fire God Spears surged out from the other three vortexes in front of Lin Yun.
These three spears easily skewered the Mana Devouring Vine's main body, pinning it even more thoroughly to the ground.
The reddish flame slowly ignited, and like a plague, quickly spread through the body of the Mana Vine, and the other vines growing from the main body all broke at their roots.
Facing that huge danger, the Mana Devouring Vine could only give up on its clones and focus all its power on its main body.
The green vines that had started coiling around Lin Yun instantly withered, softening like dying snakes. After a few seconds, they turned a sickly yellow and transformed into a pile of rotten wood.
Only the main body of the Mana Devouring Vine remained in front of Lin Yun. He waved his Draconic Staff and sprayed flames over a large area, setting it all ablaze.
A miserable sound came from within the raging flames. After a dozen seconds, the golden-red flames sharply increased in intensity and thoroughly covered the Mana Devouring Vine, whose crazy struggle came to an end.
Lin Yun waved his hand and scattered the flames. All that was left of the Mana Devouring Vine was a large lump of charcoal.
The others caught up at this time, and Zeuss couldn't help looking at Lin Yun with shock. Ever since he fused with the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and advanced to the 9th Rank, Lin Yun's strength had risen too abruptly.
That was a level 38 Mana Devouring Vine, yet he easily got rid of it! Lin Yun had suppressed it all along... All of its attacks were countered by Lin Yun so effectively that it was like getting choked to death.
It could be said that this Mana Devouring Vine wasn't even allowed to show the full extent of its power. It could only sullenly die.
After the direction of its main body was discovered, Lin Yun immediately used corrosive flames to get rid of the cloned vines before nailing down the main body and burning it to death.
But Lin Yun's strength wasn't enough to make Zeuss feel safe… Instead, he felt more and more worried.
In Constance's God Nation, with his strength as a 7th Rank Magic Apprentice, he wouldn't be able to feel safe even if he had a Heaven Mage accompanying him.
As for the possibility of remaining alone on the Intrepid, that idea bothered Zeuss even more. He had experienced the strangeness of the Intrepid already, and there were still those damned ghosts on the ship.
”Merlin, we should hurry up and leave. Mana Devouring Vines usually aren't alone. The fact that there aren't any living creatures around here must be because that Mana Devouring Vine devoured everything. It might not be too good if there are more…”
Zeuss was worried, but he still reined in his temper as he persuaded Lin Yun. The terrifying encounters on the Intrepid made Zeuss look at this mana-absorbing thing with fright, especially since the Mana Devouring Vine looked like the monster and its tentacles. The fear that rose from the depths of his heart couldn't easily be suppressed.
Lin Yun ignored Zeuss' worries and took out several spirit mana crystals and kept them in his hands.
Zeuss' expression turned deathly pale as he let out an alarmed screech.
”Merlin, quick, mana crystals are fatal temptations for Mana Devouring Vines!”
Zeuss didn't even have time to finish his sentence before he felt clear mana fluctuations coming from the grass as a Mana Devouring Vine rushed out from it, crazily charging straight at Lin Yun.
The mana fluctuations on a living creature's body could generally be sensed more than five kilometers away, but pure mana crystals could be sensed at least ten to fifteen kilometers away, making them like lighthouses in the middle of the night. Such a huge temptation could easily make Mana Devouring Vines become frantic.
The fluctuations emitted by five spirit mana crystals were enough to make those Mana Devouring Vines rush at him.
No less than five Mana Devouring Vines were drawn over. This time, these Mana Devouring Vines didn't even bother to hide their main bodies. The dark-green parts charged at him alongside all the jade-like clones.
