Chapter 1473 - Heavenly Deity Valley
After obtaining so many benefits, Xiao Rou felt she had to do something for her master. If she couldn't help him in critical moments, who could say for sure whether he'd casually slap her to death one day when he was in a bad mood?
Xiao Rou was intelligent and knew how to read people's hearts.
Liu Wuxie didn't stop her. He also wanted to see how strong she had become after her recent breakthrough. He opened the desolate world, and Xiao Rou flashed out like a streak of light.
Her roots remained anchored within the desolate world, but that no longer restricted her movements. She could move freely outside while drawing endless energy from the desolate world through her roots.
With a loud boom, the ground exploded as a terrifying Vine Demon burst up from underground. It had concealed its presence from the other Vine Demons and intended to swallow Liu Wuxie alone. After all, humans weren't the only selfish ones who thought only of themselves—the Vine Demons were the same.
The moment the Vine Demon emerged, Xiao Rou struck first and slammed her palm down. The newcomer froze in shock, assuming she was another Vine Demon who had rushed over after sensing Liu Wuxie.
None of them ever imagined she would suddenly turn on it and attack.
"You're a Vine Demon, so why are you helping a human?!" the Vine Demon roared furiously, throwing a punch that detonated with a powerful shockwave.
When palm met fist, Xiao Rou and the Vine Demon were both forced backward. Judging from the clash, however, Xiao Rou held the advantage. The primeval laws within the desolate world had continually nourished and strengthened her.
"Damn it! How dare you submit to a human?!" the Vine Demon bellowed, enraged. It immediately used its roots to communicate with the other Vine Demons, calling them over.
When the nearby Vine Demons received the message, they accelerated toward the battlefield.
Liu Wuxie had already sensed them, but he still chose not to intervene. This was the perfect chance for him to harvest more Vine Demon energy and push Xiao Rou to the eighth level of the Earth Immortal Realm. The more Vine Demons she devoured, the stronger she would grow.
