Traveling through ancient times to survive

Zhao Qing was not too surprised to see the plants that could move freely. There was no other life here except these big trees and the vines on the trees, so the only things that made her feel dangerous were these trees or vines.

Zhao Qing stepped back step by step, but the vines did not respond.

After retreating a mile away, Zhao Qing took out a large piece of meat and started to refine oil. He did not stop until he had refined three cans of oil.

Of course Zhao Qing didn't plan to push it directly. Isn't the reason why people become human to use tools reasonably?

When everything was ready, Zhao Qing returned to the original place. The vine balls had been dispersed and hung on the tree again. Zhao Qing used the same method to lure the vines out with the torch again.

Zhao Qing quickly threw the can that had just been filled with oil at the vine ball. The can broke under the huge impact, and the oil inside splashed all over the vine ball.

The vine ball seemed to be enraged. It changed its form instantly, and a giant green snake formed by multiple vines pounced towards Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing jumped to the left to avoid the attack. A big hole was created on the spot. The giant snake reacted quickly and rushed towards Zhao Qing again.

Zhao Qing successfully dodged again, and his attacks missed several times. Not only that, he was poured with another can of oil. The giant snake quickly changed its fighting style. It spread out again, and vines attacked all at once, locking all the directions in which Zhao Qing could dodge.

A knife appeared out of thin air in Zhao Qing's hand, and he attacked like lightning, so fast that an afterimage appeared, and with every strike of the knife, several vines were cut off.

Of course, the vines were not without any effect. A few of them actually hit Zhao Qing's body. Unfortunately, due to Zhao Qing's inhuman physique, these actions did not cause much harm to Zhao Qing. At most, he just got some skin damaged.

As for Zhao Qing's opponent, the vines were almost cut in half, and it swung them around wildly. Even Zhao Qing could see its anger, and after venting its anger, the vines under it quickly retreated back into the woods.

Dead and broken vines were left in their place. They were motionless and no different from ordinary vines.

Zhao Qing pulled out the mall panel, and sure enough, the button flashed again. She absorbed all the limbs on the ground, and the button became brighter. Zhao Qing sighed, it seemed that she had to kill the taproot.

Zhao Qing tried to lure it with the torch again, but unfortunately it had learned its lesson and disappeared immediately after putting out the fire, ignoring the provocation of Zhao Qing.

It seems that we have to go to its lair. Zhao Qing put on a bow, held a knife, maximized his mental perception, and walked into the woods again cautiously.

Although it seemed easy to deal with these vines just now, Zhao Qing did not dare to let his guard down, because the battle just now started outside its territory, and it did not extend outside because it must be beyond its ability. The reason why it was so weak just now might be that it broke through by force and exchanged strength for distance.

The trees outside were clean and the hanging vines disappeared. Zhao Qing walked towards the direction where the oil came from.

After walking a few dozen meters, there was a sound of breaking air above his head. Zhao Qing raised his hand and chopped, and the vines were cut off, but Zhao Qing also felt a slight recoil from his palm. It was indeed not as easy as before.

Starting with this vine's attack, the battle started again, and more and more vines came towards Zhao Qing.

After half an hour, Zhao Qing had cut off countless vines. He was gradually running out of strength and his clothes were tattered, which showed how difficult it was to resist.

Zhao Qing was tired and for a moment he failed to react in time, and was immediately caught by the vines. They wrapped around Zhao Qing's neck and tightened it so much that Zhao Qing fell into coma.

The enemy was finally defeated, and the number of vines was reduced by at least two-thirds. But it doesn’t matter. As long as it swallows this enemy, it will definitely make a new breakthrough.

The main vine recalled all the branch vines, and they dragged the unconscious Zhao Qing towards the nest.

In the center of the territory, a vine that was much thicker than the other vines broke out from the ground and rolled towards Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes instantly, rolled to the side, dodged the attack, and conjured up a can of oil to throw at it. The vine was furious, and no prey had ever woken up in front of its main body.

The vine, which had just gained intelligence and possessed only a few simple emotions, certainly did not understand the cunning of humans. How could it have imagined that Zhao Qing was pretending to be unconscious on purpose?

Not wanting to deal with those endless branches, Zhao Qing decisively pretended to be defeated and let the enemy take her back to their nest.

Zhao Qing dodged while drawing his bow and shooting an arrow. The arrow head brushed past the vine branches. Of course, it was not that Zhao Qing couldn't shoot accurately. The friction generated heat, and the grease on his body caused a raging fire.

The trunk struggled violently, and the branches responded anxiously. The fire not only did not decrease, but became even bigger. Of course, this was because Zhao Qing also threw two cans of oil on the branches.

Unfortunately, the illiterate vines didn't understand, and all the branches were still madly rushing towards the trunk. The fire burned more violently, and all the vines rolled on the ground like crazy.

"Master, I surrender! Help!"

A painful voice came from Zhao Qing's mind.

"Are you the vine in front of me?" Zhao Qing replied slowly in his mind.

The childish voice became more impatient: "Yes, Master, save me!"

"What good is it to save you?"

"I am willing to submit to my master with all my heart!"

"You can't even deal with me, so it seems there's no point in me taking you in. I might as well kill you and absorb the energy from your body which will be useful to me." Zhao Qing pretended to be disdainful.

"No, no, no! Master, I'm useful! I know the locations of two of my kind nearby." The child's voice in my mind sounded extremely panicked.

Zhao Qing was delighted, but he remained calm and continued to hint: "That's it? I can find you, so why should I be afraid that I can't find your kind? And your vines can fight, but there is a fatal flaw, that is, they are afraid of fire. Think about whether you have any other abilities?"

"I can control plants. When I level up a level, I will be able to know what is happening within a ten-mile radius of where there are plants."

The ignorant vine was completely fooled. It endured the pain of the burning fire, fearing that it would be abandoned because of its uselessness. It even revealed its main ability for the next stage.

Zhao Qing felt even more satisfied. It was worthy of being able to grow into such a powerful mutant, and it even had a very excellent monitoring function. Not bad.

Zhao Qing still looked reluctant: "Okay, although it's of no use, I'm kindhearted and can't bear to see others begging me like this, so I'll accept you with reluctance."

Although Zhao Qing agreed to let the vine go, she was not unprepared. At this time, the vine was burned to death, all the branches were dead, and only the main body was still alive. Even if it knew how to pretend, a mere half of the main body was no match for Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing took out the stream water that had been stored in the space button and poured it on the fire. After the fire was out, Zhao Qing poked the smoking trunk.

"Well, since you have chosen to submit to me, how can I take you away?"

The vine replied weakly: "Master, dig up the soil under me. My taproot is buried inside. Just take it away. I will recover slowly."
