Chapter 1577: 1577

From far away, the Nine Gloom Vine witnessed the entire battle between the four-faced individual and Giant Sarcoma . He also heard what the four-faced individual said to Giant Sarcoma at the very end .

Although he was not completely sure how the four-faced individual’s change of mode worked, the Nine Gloom Vine was still able to make a guess about several things .

He patiently waited for the four-faced individual to pull every inch of Giant Sarcoma from under the ground and finish devouring him completely before using voice transmission to ask him a question .

“Four Face, are you a friend or a foe now?”

The long-horned four-faced individual turned his head and looked in the direction where Nine Gloom Vine was, far away . He grinned .

“Four Face is Four Face, I’m me . I’m not interested in your fight!”

“If they get hold of the castellan’s seal, whether you’re Four Face or not, they’ll attack you sooner or later . ” The Nine Gloom Vine did not want to give up . He still wanted to try and get the four-faced individual on his side .

After all, if the four-faced individual left just like that, the Nine Gloom Vine would have to fight two enemies on his own after this—Silver Armor and the three-tailed snake lady .

“If that day really comes, I’ll kill them myself . ” The long-horned four-faced individual remained unmoved .

“Alright then . ” The Nine Gloom Vine fell silent for a moment . In the end, he did not say very much more . “If you wish to leave, then leave . ”

If he lost an ally, so be it . At this time, he did not want to offend someone who was even more powerful than the four-faced individual . The best thing to do was to let him go .

Seeing the God Territory’s exit rapidly materializing not far away, the long-horned four-faced individual did not bother wasting any more words . His form wended its way through and departed .

Outside the God Territory, the Nine Gloom Vine’s sliver of consciousness watched the long-horned four-faced individual swiftly leaving the dense forest area where he himself was . He could not help sighing softly .

He could sense that the long-horned four-faced individual was eager to leave . He also guessed that the long-horned four-faced individual might be facing some issues with his form since he had just taken over the four-faced individual’s body . At one point, Giant Sarcoma had considered whether or not he should seize the opportunity and dispose of the long-horned four-faced individual . However, he chose to abandon the idea in the end .

There was no reason other than it was not a simple task to kill the long-horned four-faced individual despite his unstable state . Moreover, the Nine Gloom Vine had two other powerful enemies in his lair at the moment .

Compared with a future threat, getting rid of the current threat that faced him was the most important thing .

Seeing that, in the God Territory filled with vines, there remained only the three-tailed snake lady—who was still hiding in the Purple Cloud—and Silver Armor, who was slowly making his way toward him, the Nine Gloom Vine very quickly came to a decision .

His form, which had transformed into tens of thousands of giant boa constrictors, rapidly retreated from the Purple Cloud and directly targeted Silver Armor .

The three-tailed snake lady, who had been watching the outside world closely, felt slightly relieved only after this . She had not dared to lift her head the entire time as the Nine Gloom Vine had been keeping track of her from the sidelines . She knew that he would definitely attack her at lightning speed if she made even the slightest movement .

Even though he had left, the three-tailed snake lady did not recklessly show herself just yet .

She was afraid that her opponent had not gone very far and might turn back to deal with her .

“Giant Sarcoma’s aura is clearly gone; he must have been killed . The four-faced individual’s aura became very strange earlier—even unfamiliar—and vanished after that . I wonder if he died alongside Giant Sarcoma . ”

In this vine-infested world, all sensing techniques, including Divine Telekinesis detection, were all severely curbed by Nine Gloom’s vines . Everyone could only vaguely sense whether or not an aura was present, as well as battle fluctuations .

The three-tailed snake lady could only determine who else was left on the battlefield through auras . As for those whose auras had disappeared, she was unable to tell if they had left the God Territory or if they had been killed .

“The only ones left on the battlefield now are Nine Gloom, Silver Armor, and myself . If Silver Armor’s been killed by that old wretch Nine Gloom…”

The three-tailed snake lady’s brow furrowed tightly . She had never expected the initial four against two, sure-win scenario would turn out like this .

She had also never imagined that Four Face, whom she had been sleeping with for years, possessed the ability to kill two powerhouses—Giant Sarcoma and Crimson Eye—on his own .

The three-tailed snake lady’s thoughts drifted for a while, but very soon, she came back to her senses . Patiently, she waited for an opportunity to exit the Purple Cloud .

Not long later, she sensed intense battle fluctuations from a distance .

She guessed that Nine Gloom and Silver Armor might have begun fighting .

“That old wretch Nine Gloom is completely ignoring me now?!”

Although she was somewhat infuriated, the three-tailed snake lady also felt slightly happy .

This happiness was because Nine Gloom had not chosen to forcibly disperse the Purple Cloud and kill her before Silver Armor could arrive .

However, after some consideration, she could understand why Nine Gloom had made such a choice .

After all, Silver Amor’s abilities were powerful . Instead of spending such a lot of effort to breach the Purple Cloud’s defenses, Nine Gloom would rather stay in prime condition to fight Silver Amor .

“You’ll pay the price for underestimating me!” A ferocious gleam flashed through the three-tailed snake lady’s eyes .

Only after sensing that the distant battle fluctuations had continued for a while did the three-tailed snake lady quietly appear from the Purple Cloud .

However, the very moment she moved, vines surged out from all directions and lashed toward her .

The three-tailed snake lady was stunned at first . Her initial reaction was to think that the Nine Gloom Vine had returned . However, she soon realized that this was not the case . He was merely controlling the vines from a distance to attack her .

“So you want to imprison me here to prevent me from meeting up with Silver Armor?!” The three-tailed snake lady narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately guessed Nine Gloom’s battle strategy .

No matter what, he definitely did not wish to fight two enemies alone .

After all, Silver Armor’s abilities were very strong . In a battle between powerhouses, the slightest difference could cause one to lose, much less one more person interfering from the sidelines .

Once she had considered this, the three-tailed snake lady decisively retracted the Purple Cloud . After making sure of where the distant battle fluctuations were, she charged in that direction, dodging the attacks of the all-encompassing vines with everything she had .

As soon as she moved, out of nowhere, she suddenly felt an intense sense of danger .

The next instant, she felt a vine twining around one of her snake tails . She frantically tried to free herself, but realized that the moment she stopped, more vines tangled themselves around her .

She turned her head to look, but discovered that there were no vines at all in the areas where she had been entangled . She used Divine Telekinesis to scan and realized then that those vines were actually threads that were 10,000 times thinner than a hair .

At that moment, a familiar voice came from behind her, “You’ve decided to come out at last!”

When she heard the voice, the three-tailed snake lady’s facial expression underwent a dramatic change .

She turned her head . A giant boa constrictor created from countless vines was looking at her in a condescending manner .

She also sensed that the distant battle fluctuations had now vanished completely .

“Nine Gloom! You tricked me?!”

“How could I lure you out of that cloud of purple fog if I didn’t use some tricks?” Nine Gloom’s tone was calm .

“So I’ve been your target since the very beginning?!” The three-tailed snake lady came to a sudden realization .

“You could say that . ” Nine Gloom did not deny it .

“So you pretended to fight Silver Armor, letting me think that you couldn’t fight me at the same time to lure me out of the Purple Cloud . You even attacked me on purpose on the pretense of forcing me back into the Purple Cloud, so I would have a sense of urgency to meet up with Silver Armor and retract the Purple Cloud without hesitation… What a great trick!” The three-tailed snake lady said resentfully . She had now completely understood what sort of trick the Nine Gloom Vine had played on her .

“Unfortunately, you figured it out a bit too late . ”

As soon as the Nine Gloom Vine finished, countless threads invisible to the naked eye had already enveloped the three-tailed snake lady, forming a giant, white cocoon . A moment later, the cocoon suddenly changed shape, as if a towel were being wrung by a huge, invisible hand .

At that moment, purplish-red drops began to spread over the white cocoon . In the beginning, it looked like purplish-red flower petals were falling on a piece of white cloth . However, the entire cloth turned purplish-red very quickly .

Purplish-red liquid even began to seep out onto the cocoon’s surface… .
