Chapter 961: Queen of vines

Several hundred gray Experimentals were crawling within the forested wilderness behind the mountain that protected the defensive position. They had received orders from Black Robe to hold at this location and kill any humans who tried to escape from here.
Black Robe did not have them attack the defensive position directly because he had taken some of these barbaric Experimentals from the expeditionary army, such as Valentin, the former commander of the advance guard.
Among these Experimentals, many of them were soldiers who had survived the battle at the Great Wall but were captured by him. If these barbaric Experimentals were to appear on the battlefield, the expeditionary army would probably start hating him. Especially Valentin, he must absolutely not be seen by the expeditionary army.
These Experimentals, who were crawling on the ground and waiting for the hunt to start, suddenly turned their heads and looked back after detecting the scent of a human.
A light breeze blew past, and a pleasant smell drifted towards them. It was as though roses had suddenly bloomed during the night.
But the Experimentals did not care whether it was a fragrance or a stench. They only knew that since a human had come here, they would have to kill whoever it was.
But before they could locate the source of the fragrance, the Experimentals saw some strange and dangerous-looking vines spreading towards them in the forested wilderness.
The Experimentals’ instinctive fear caused them to start retreating. They stared with extreme caution at the creeper vines that kept pressing forward at them.
Valentin let out a roar, and an Experimental carefully approached the creeper vines. It tried to grab its tentacles to see what it really was.
But the moment it touched the creeper vine, the dense growth of creeper vines on the ground sprang up at the same time and stabbed into the Experimental’s body.
The body of the Experimentals that could not even be penetrated by bullets was completely pierced by the vines.
In an instant, the terrifying vines wrapped up the Experimental into a cocoon before dragging it into the wilderness.
All of a sudden, all of the Experimentals here felt they were facing a formidable enemy. They had never come across such a strange plant before.
The Experimentals still retained a low level of intelligence, so they knew how dangerous the creeper vines were.
When the maid in the wilderness saw that the Experimentals were no longer taking the initiative to provoke the creeper vines, she slowly walked out. “I hurried all the way here, and you dirty creatures are the first things I see. How unlucky…”
The Experimentals quietly sized up the woman who was standing across from them. They saw she wore ten shimmering rings on her fingers and a shiny pearl necklace around her neck, which made her look extremely opulent.
Moreover, she was wearing a purple qipao even though she was out in this wilderness. Why would anyone wear something like that during a battle? Unless she was extremely confident of beating them?
In fact, the maidservant was full of confidence.
At the beginning, she did not really test out how strong her power was after she absorbed the creeper vine at Stronghold 61 and only felt like she had an inexhaustible amount of strength. Later, she did not sit idle after parting ways with Ren Xiaosu at the Sacred Mountains. The maidservant headed all the way northwest and tested her limits on the bandits there.
However, the bandits were too weak. After taking on all the bandits along the way, she still could not figure out the limits of her power.
But in any case, she was extremely confident now.
Zhou Yingxue could still hear gunfire coming from the other side of the mountain. That meant the battle over there must be very intense. If she handled things here quickly, she would make it there in time.
Zhou Yingxue shot a glance at the Experimentals, but she did not hide the disdain in her eyes. It was as though she would taint her eyes by looking at these hideous creatures a moment longer. She thought it strange that there were no signs of Black Robe, which her master mentioned to her.
But whatever, she would just have to kill them first.
Thinking of this, the vines around the maidservant started sweeping towards the Experimentals. When the Experimentals tried to escape, they realized the creeper vines had already and completely surrounded them.
That’s right, the maidservant had surrounded all of the Experimentals by herself. The few hundred Experimentals Black Robe had painstakingly raised were about to perish among the vines.
Valentin led the Experimentals in an attempt to tear their way out of the vine encirclement. But no matter how powerful they were, they could only struggle inconsequentially in the face of the creeper vines that could destroy a city.
The Experimentals kept tearing off the vines that had pierced their bodies, but more vines started wrapping around them. There was no end to it regardless of how hard they tore at the vines.
“Alright, stop struggling already. After I’m done with you all here, I have to rush off to save my master.” As soon as the maidservant said that, the vines covering the entire wilderness suddenly became enraged and overwhelmed the few hundred Experimentals. In just one second, all of the Experimentals died.
Overshadowed by this level of power, the battle became totally one-sided. It was like a fight between an adult and a child, with the outcome in no doubt for a moment.
The maidservant took out a satellite phone from her luxurious handbag and made a call. “Master, I’ve finished off all the Experimentals behind the mountain, but I didn’t see the Black Robe you mentioned.”
Ren Xiaosu’s voice came from the other end of the line, saying, “It probably ran away in advance again, but that’s fine. It can’t escape this time.”
“Alright then, I’ll head over to the main battlefield to help out now,” the maidservant said.
“There’s no need for that.” Ren Xiaosu said, “You can’t reveal your power to everyone yet, or people will easily link you to the destruction of Stronghold 61. That will be difficult to explain, and it’ll be bad if you get attacked by public opinion.”
“Why should we care about what they say? It’s not like I’m afraid of them,” Zhou Yingxue said nonchalantly.
“Enough. If you have strength to spare, you can secretly hunt down and kill the defeated barbarians in the mountains.” After that, Ren Xiaosu ended the call.
The maidservant curled her lips and muttered, “He’s always ordering me around like this. I’m already a first-class superhuman, yet he hung up on me in such a hurry! He didn’t even ask about me. Heartless!”
With that, the maidservant walked off. The vines on the ground followed her and moved through the wilderness behind her, covering all the mountain paths in their way.
But what did her master say just now? Was the expeditionary army about to be defeated? Wasn’t it rumored that the Northwest Army was having trouble fighting the expeditionary army? How did it end up with the barbarians suddenly getting defeated then?
Could someone else have come to rescue her master?
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was looking at the Wolf King on the mountaintop, and the Wolf King was looking back at him in silence.
Ren Xiaosu was very sure this was the same Wolf King he knew back then. He even gave some black medicine to it at that time, which it liked very much.
Sometimes, Ren Xiaosu wondered where the wolves had gone and why he had not heard from them again since then.
Logically speaking, even if the wolves had been living in the wilderness after they grew stronger and bigger, they would have been seen by some people. However, it was as though they had disappeared into thin air.
Ren Xiaosu finally realized the wolves had followed Yan Liuyuan to the grasslands! Yan Liuyuan was the new king of the steppe!
Suddenly, a horn clarioned on Mt. Zuoyun. The war horn sounded sorrowful with a hint of haste and fluster. The barbarians who were attacking the defensive position suddenly started pulling back.
