"Young Daoist Liu, you..."
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but frown, looking a little unwilling.
"Hey! Fellow Daoist He, our strength is limited, so I'm afraid we won't be the opponent of this Evergreen Thorn. Fellow Daoist Zhang is very strong, so let him give it a try..." Liu Ping said seemingly cheerfully.
Hearing what Liu Ping said, He Bu was slightly startled, but his attitude suddenly changed. He smiled at Lu Li and said:
"It's true that I was fascinated by this elixir and forgot for a moment that this thing is powerful. Fellow Daoist Zhang, in this case, I won't take away your love. You can do whatever you want..."
"Since these two fellow Taoists have no intention of doing this, I'm sorry."
Lu Li glanced at the two of them with a half-smiling look, "However, the ugly thing is, if the two fellow Taoists regret it later, don't blame me for being ungrateful..."
"Haha, fellow Taoist, what are you talking about? If we say it out loud, we will throw water away. We will never go back on our word. Just do as you please..."
"Yes, fellow Daoist Zhang, just feel free to go get it."
After hearing what the two people said, Lu Li didn't say anything more, calmed down his expression, and slowly leaned towards the evergreen thorn.
Liu Ping and Liu Ping glanced at each other, and the smiles on their faces suddenly disappeared. While staring in Lu Li's direction, they secretly communicated through sound transmissions.
I saw Na He Bing nodding from time to time, and I didn't know what the two of them were talking about.
On the other side, Lu Li had a faint sneer on his face as he continued to slowly approach the Evergreen Thorn step by step.
Hissssssssss...
Just when Lu Li was about three feet away from the bush he had chopped down before, dozens of tentacles covered with barbs suddenly rose up under the branches and leaves of the bush in front of him.
Like big green snakes, they neighed horribly towards Lu Li.
"What can you do to me?"
Lu Li frowned coldly, made seals with his hands, and nine extremely large fireballs flew towards the toothy and clawed tentacles in an instant.
Those tentacles seemed to be very afraid of the fireball. Upon seeing this, they dispersed instantly, forming a blank area, allowing the fireball to fly past.
Immediately afterwards, a giant tentacle as thick as a bucket suddenly shot out from the depths, hit the first fireball with a bang, and then quickly retracted.
Then, the second huge tentacle came out and bombarded the second fireball. In this way, within a moment, all nine fireballs were stabbed and exploded.
Lu Li was not surprised by this, because he had long discovered that the evergreen thorn had three thick tentacles hiding deep inside, and this move was just a test.
But the three tentacles were so powerful that it made him frown.
After his eyes flashed, Lu Li once again used Nine Fires, but this time it was no longer a rampage. With the control of his spiritual consciousness, he directly blasted towards the small tentacles on the periphery.
Although these small tentacles tried their best to dodge, under his control, these fireballs seemed to have eyes, chasing after these small tentacles.
As a rumble of explosions was heard, countless vine thorns and broken branches suddenly flew everywhere.
However, there are quite a lot of small tentacles with green thorns, and the ones in front of you are only a very small part. After blowing up one part, new tentacles will immediately fall from the sky.
Moreover, some of the tentacles were much longer than before. Caught off guard, Lu Li was almost hit by them several times. It was obvious that the evergreen thorn deliberately placed these short tentacles in front to confuse Lu Li.
The purpose was to cover those long tentacles and prepare Lu Li for a surprise attack.
Seeing this situation, Lu Li did not dare to be careless. While using the fireball technique to bombard the small tentacles, he secretly watched for the sudden attack of the evergreen thorns.
After going back and forth like this, the two actually fought for a full quarter of an hour.
During this period, Lu Li did not use any other means. He relied solely on his physical skills and Nine Fires to entangle him. Under the repeated bombardments, he seemed to be quite exhausted.
Finally, Lu Li had almost cleaned up the small tentacles on the outside, but Lu Li was not in a very good condition at this time. His face was pale, shaky, and he looked unsteady.
"Zhang Daoyou, are you okay?"
When He BuGeng saw this, his eyes lit up and he flew towards Lu Li. On the surface, he was caring about Lu Li, but in fact, his eyes were staring deep into the bushes.
"No, it's okay, it's just that the real energy consumption is a bit serious." Lu Li said, and sat down cross-legged, pretending to recover while saying:
"This guy is really insidious. He actually hid so many long tentacles. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have really fallen into his trap! But after all, it is still not as good as me. Now it has no room for backhand. When I recover, I just took the three-color moon orchid, and the two fellow Taoists will be ready in a moment..."
"Hey!!! Don't worry."
He Tong looked at it for a while and found that there was really no movement inside. The evergreen thorns also made a hissing sound, which sounded very painful, which made him calm down:
"You can recover here. As for the three-colored moon orchid, I'll just go and help you take it out..."
As he spoke, he winked at Liu Ping, "Brother Zhang seems to have spent a lot of money. Brother Liu must take good care of him and don't let anything happen to him..."
"Haha, there won't be any accidents. Just go ahead, brother." Liu Ping laughed and waved towards He Tong.
The two of them performed their own performances, completely ignoring the 'incomparably weak' Lu Li, because the strength Lu Li had shown before was only what he would have achieved in the later stage, not to mention that he had lost all his true energy at this time.
The two of them even doubted that they could easily take down the evergreen thorn even if they did it themselves.
After He BuTong left, Liu Ping suddenly took out a red pill and looked at Lu Li with a half-smile, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, this is called Wenxin Dan. I wonder if you have heard of it."
The Heart-Winning Pill is actually an upgraded version of the heart-eating worm. It just wraps the eggs with a special spiritual liquid. As long as the mother worm is stirred, the eggs will break out of the shell and devour the human heart.
After taking this pill, there is no antidote except for the mother worm to suck it out the moment it breaks its shell.
"You, what do you want to do...!"
After Lu Li heard this, his expression immediately changed to a very cooperative one. He stood up in a panic and looked at Liu Ping with fear.
"do what?"
Liu Ping smiled sinisterly, "I see that Zhang Daoyou has such cultivation at such a young age, so his talent must be great, right? Don't worry, I don't want to kill you, I just want to take you as a slave, okay?"
In fact, this was what Liu Ping had secretly discussed with He Tong just now. Liu Ping took a fancy to Lu Li's talent, so he took the initiative to give up the elixir and asked He Tong to help capture Lu Li.
But what he didn't expect was that Lu Li would be so weak after the battle with Evergreen Thorn, which made Liu Ping feel that he was at a loss...
Ah, ah ah...! ! !
At this moment, a heart-rending scream suddenly came from deep in the jungle...
