Chapter 313 - The Great Battle Approaches
In the ascension realm in Divine Tree Continent, Lu Ran observed the effects of various vicious plants. This sparked the idea of having Dark Crow research the power of vicious plants and study plant curses. In reality, Dark Crow had already been researching, though the progress had been slow. After a long time, only one experiment had succeeded.
The Crimson Dandelion was a type of vicious plant whose pappus would produce a parasitic effect on any living being it landed on, causing red fur to grow all over its body. This red fur would severely disrupt the flow of energy within the host, making it difficult to activate skills.
At first glance, this ability didn’t seem particularly powerful. However, the Crimson Dandelion was famous in the vicious plant community. While it wasn’t a direct threat on its own, it was an excellent support tool for other vicious plants, making it significantly harder for prey to resist.
Among all the vicious plants from the ruin that Dark Crow had studied, the Crimson Dandelion had the highest compatibility with it. This was primarily due to its curse properties, which also interfered with an enemy’s spirit, similar to Dark Crow’s abilities.
Now, the Crimson Fur Curse, combined with Enemy Lock, caught Manager Ying completely off guard. For a brief moment, its energy flow was thrown into chaos. Seizing this opportunity, Ugly Ox’s eyes lit up. With a furious roar, it swung its hammer at the cat.
The Psychic Barrier shattered under Ugly Ox’s strike, having lost Manager Ying’s control. The impact sent Manager Ying flying out of the factory. This long-range coordination stunned everyone present. But in the next moment, an overwhelming pressure filled the air.
“Damn crow.”
Although Manager Ying was hit for the first time, it remained mostly unscathed. It was only slightly disheveled, covered in dust. Furious, Manager Ying quickly found a way to dispel the Crimson Fur Curse.
While the curse was strange, the Crow Legion wasn’t strong enough to keep it suppressed for long. After just a brief disruption, Manager Ying stabilized its energy flow, igniting flames all over its body and burning away the parasitic red fur.
At the same time, it shot a glare at Ugly Ox. In an instant, Ugly Ox seemed to fall into an illusion, frozen in place. The various skill effects on its body rapidly faded away. Lin Nian and the other members of the Twelve Zodiacs exchanged glances after witnessing this.
“That’s enough. Manager Ying’s strength is unquestionable,” Gu Qingyi said.
