Doomsday Roulette

The carnivorous plant on the edge lunged to bite the demon's arm, but it narrowly avoided the attack, darting into the cluster of carnivorous plants and charging toward Ye Zhongming.

Although it evaded the first carnivorous plant, as it moved deeper, the plants became denser. Just a few meters away from Ye Zhongming, the demon was bitten on the leg by one of the carnivorous plants.

The demon let out a furious roar and swung its massive hand toward the head of the carnivorous plant, striking it with a loud crack that caused the plant's head to split open.

In the past, this carnivorous plant would have certainly died; its head was both its most powerful weapon and its fatal weakness. Once shattered, it meant death.

Although the level 5 golden carnivorous plant was strong and had significantly improved defenses, it was still insufficient against the level 7 demon. When facing such a demon alone, the carnivorous plant would be instantly killed.

However, now that over twenty carnivorous plants possessed the branch linking skill, the damage inflicted on this particular plant was distributed among its kin. This meant it only sustained one-twentieth of the damage, so despite being split open and oozing some juice, it did not die.

Seizing this opportunity, the other carnivorous plants quickly latched onto the demon.

In terms of raw strength, the carnivorous plants were certainly inferior to the demon, but their biting force was remarkably formidable. After all, this was their specialty, with teeth as sharp as the finest weapons.

The demon attempted to break free, but was unsuccessful.

This struggle wasn't feeble; the demon's sheer power, even at a momentary burst, was astonishing.

Yet apart from one carnivorous plant's stem being slightly torn, the others remained unharmed.

The demon initially intended to free itself by tearing all the plants in half, but due to the shared damage from the branch linking, it was confined in place.

This moment was brief.

Previously, even while dodging the carnivorous plants, the demon maintained a high-speed movement and changing directions. It wasn't foolish enough to charge straight in; it would adjust its opponent's center of gravity and defensive focus, then strike when least expected.

Thus, even though Ye Zhongming was always prepared, he couldn't predict the demon's movements.

This creature was just too fast.

From the very first moment Ye Zhongming laid eyes on the demon's movement, he sensed this would happen.

That was why he had scattered the seeds of the carnivorous plants.

It was all for a chance to strike.

Now, these carnivorous plants provided him with that opportunity. Although it was still brief—perhaps with the next effort, the demon would break free—it was enough.

The ten thousand layers seal blade slash was activated.

Bright blade radiance illuminated the night sky, and as soon as these beams appeared, they slashed toward the bound demon.

Currently, the blue sand dance war knife, when swung with full force, had its sharpness increased by 30. Considering its base sharpness attribute of 470 after upgrading from green, this value representing attack power had surpassed 500, reaching a terrifying level.

Combined with three types of engravings and the ability of the ten thousand layers seal blade slash, this move made the demon feel an imminent danger.

It struggled violently, and at this life-and-death moment, it unleashed tremendous potential, tearing the surrounding carnivorous plants apart!

Even Ye Zhongming, who was in the midst of the slashing action, was shocked by the demon's sudden outburst of power. It truly managed to break free from the grip of over twenty carnivorous plants!

These newly sprouted plants lost their vitality all at once.

The plan deviated from Ye Zhongming's expectations; the demon regained its freedom a moment sooner than anticipated.

This slash might completely miss due to this factor; the demon's speed was ultimately too fast.

But just as the demon was about to move, its body suddenly slowed down without any warning.
