Outside the Valley of Wind and Thunder, on a wide open space.
A tall young man in a blue novice combat suit appeared out of thin air.
"The Wind and Thunder Canyon is right ahead." Zhao Xing looked into the distance.
Between the two towering mountains, there was a naturally formed rift valley.
The mountain was covered in black clouds, and there was a barrier outside the canyon.
When he got closer, he saw a floating screen beside him.
Wind and Thunder Canyon Rankings
"First place, Helian Lie, killed the wind and thunder mutated beast in 1 minute and 32 seconds…That's fast.”
Zhao Xing looked at the name and muttered to himself.
The ranking of Wind and Thunder Canyon was the ranking of Tranquil Academy.
Zhao Xing had heard of this Helian Lie before.
The record was set ten years ago.
The current Helian Lie had long become a Transcendent Overlord.
The last time he saw him on the Battle Network news, it was said that he had already rendered meritorious service on the battlefields of the ten thousand races.
He had become the new Earl of the Empire and was often used as an example by the Tranquil Academy.
"Impressive. In ten years, no one has been able to break the record.”Zhao Xing sighed.
He could only attempt the Wind and Thunder Canyon ten times. If he wanted to set a record, he only had ten chances.
There were many novice lords who wanted to surpass the record holder, but it was very difficult.
"As long as you enter the top 100 of the leaderboard, you will receive an additional reward.”
"Every time the rankings are refreshed, you can obtain it. However, the most generous reward is still the first place.”
"I wonder how far I can go.”Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Every year, thousands of students would come to Anping Academy.
And this ranking was based on the historical rankings of the past 10 years!
Even if he managed to get into the top 1000, it was still something to be proud of.
After all, they were facing the competition of all the novice lords in the past 10 years.
Of course, this ranking only showed the top 100. Only he knew the rest of the rankings.
"Let's begin."
Zhao Xing strode into the canyon barrier.
…………
After entering the Wind and Thunder Canyon, the environment changed.
The sky turned gray, and the wind continued to blow, as if a heavy rain was about to fall at any moment.
It was also Zhao Xing's first time clearing the level. Although he could be teleported out at any time, he could still be injured.
Hence, they proceeded forward carefully.
"There have been countless people who have passed through the Wind and Thunder Canyon and have gained a lot of experience.”
"However, the experience points for a Plant Lord are very little. Most of them are after they level up or exchange points for powerful equipment.”
Zhao Xing recalled some things to take note of.
The mission for the Wind and Thunder Canyon was to kill a Level 30 elite-quality exotic beast in the canyon.
Completing the mission will give you 100 points.
Because it could be completed multiple times, it was very popular among novice Lords.
However, there was no one around, so Zhao Xing didn't have to line up or worry about stealing monsters.
"Elite-quality exotic beast leaders are randomly generated, but they generally have wind and lightning attributes.”
"There's also a group of normal-tier exotic beasts around.”
Zhao Xing pondered as he advanced. He slowly came up with a plan.
…………
After spending about ten minutes, Zhao Xing finally approached the nest of the elite-quality exotic beast.
A huge tree had fallen to the ground. Even though it had fallen, the trunk was still ten meters tall.
New plants grew around him.
There was a hole near the bottom of the tree trunk.
An exotic beast with scales, a horn, fangs, and four thick hooves that looked like a combination of a wild boar and a rhinoceros was resting inside.
"Huff ~""Huff ~"
There was a herd of horned boars playing and fighting outside.
They were more than two meters tall, and every time they collided, a dull sound would be produced.
The horn even had faint lightning sparks.
"Thunder Boar?"
Zhao Xing hid behind a tree and watched from afar.
"This Thunder Boar has thick skin and meat. I wonder if the tough vines will work.”
With a thought, his internal world shook.
A heartworld projection then appeared in front of him.
The shadow was faintly discernible, and that piece of soil overlapped with the territory of the internal world.
"Shuoshuo ~"
Tough vines immediately appeared and took root in the soil of the Wind and Thunder Canyon.
Beast Lords could summon their subdued beasts to fight their enemies.
Plant Lords could do the same.
Of course, the disadvantage of the Plant Lord was also very obvious in the early stages. When the Tenacious Vines were summoned, they were rooted to the ground and the main body could not move.
Only by advancing to Transcendent and learning the advanced knowledge of mimicry and transformation could the plant soldiers have intelligence and move.
For example, the Tree Tribe warriors were transformed from the trees.
There were many possibilities in the later stages of the plant-type Lord. Even if it faced a harsh environment, it would not be a problem if it did not transform.
After the Lord level increased, plant life forms could even take root in the void and move around at will. Moreover, their range was huge and wide.
The Thousand Stars Vine was an example.
"The Tenacious Vine is also a Level 40 Elite grade after I gave it a spirit. It shouldn't be a problem to kill these monsters.”Zhao Xing looked at the tough vines.
It came with Endurance and Bind skills.
After the enchantment, the two skills also evolved into Multiple Tenacity and Death Entanglement.
"Let's catch one to test the waters first."
Zhao Xing hid far away, but his mind was on the vines.
"Hua hua hua ~"
He commanded the vines to make a sound to attract the Thunder Boar closer.
"Huff ~" Indeed, a wild boar was attracted by the commotion and approached the vines.
When the wild boar left the range of its nest, the Tenacious Vines attacked decisively!
"Shuoshuo ~"
The thousand-meter-long vines instantly bound the wild boar and wrapped it tightly.
"Sou ~"
The two to three thousand jin Thunder Boar was dragged into the forest without making a sound.
"Huff? Huff?"
The wild boar that was dragged away widened its eyes. It did not understand why the vines were dragging it, so it struggled crazily.
However, the vines shrank tighter and tighter. Soon, there was only breathing in and no breathing out.
A moment later, there was no more movement.
Zhao Xing sneaked closer to take a look.
He discovered that the Thunder Boar had actually shrunk by a size due to the Tenacious Vines.
His scales cracked and his bones broke!
"So fierce?" Zhao Xing was a little excited.
Plant life forms were basically higher in level than all other types of troops of the same quality.
Moreover, the Tenacious Vine was of Elite grade, and it could even suppress this ordinary Thunderous Boar by a rank.
Killing them was naturally easy.
"With the acceleration of the Tree of Time and the power of the Lord of Plants! It's already beginning to show results!"
"If it were any other lord, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to nurture such a high-level plant army in a year.”
"But I can shorten the time by a hundred times!”
"You can also enchant the plant army!”
Zhao Xing suppressed his excitement and summoned the other two vines.
"Chi chi ~!"
Blood flowed out, and the wild boar's energy was extracted and absorbed by the tiny thorns on the vines.
Zhao Xing could feel that the tenacious vine's vitality had increased a little.
"Continue hunting!"
Zhao Xing still hid far away.
In the direction facing the wild boar, a line of mushrooms was formed.
Then, he released a vine to protect himself, hiding under the shade to watch the battle.
…………
"Sou ~"
"Sou ~"
One by one, the Thunder Boars were secretly dragged away.
The tough vines were luxuriant and had many branches, like a flexible tentacle net.
Once they moved, they would definitely hit the target.
Even if he could capture two or three of them at once, he wouldn't feel any pressure.
Moreover, its range was very long.
The number of normal Thunderous Boars near their nest was rapidly decreasing.
In less than half a day, it had been reduced by more than half!
"Hoho ~"
The leader of the Thunder Boar finally realized that something was wrong.
It got up from its prone position and looked around in confusion.
Why were his underlings getting fewer and fewer? Where did they all go?
Didn't he, the leader and the nest, need guards? He was too irresponsible!
"Hoho!" It roared angrily and called out to its companions.
However, there were very few responses.
At this moment, Zhao Xing was getting bolder and bolder.
"Sou ~"
In front of the Thunder Boar, he directly dragged a wild boar away from its nest!
"Roar!"
The Thunderclap Boar was finally enraged. It turned out that it was a vine that had done this!
"Buzz!"
A bolt of lightning appeared on its horn.
Boom!
With a clap of thunder, the lightning struck the tough vines.
A tentacle was split apart.
The Elite grade Thunder Boar's angry attack was still somewhat lethal.
However, the main trunk was not affected at all. After one was cut off, a few more pounced on it and continued to drag the wild boar out.
"Boom!"
Following the traces of being dragged, the Thunder Boar Leader chased after him angrily while releasing lightning.
"He's here!"
Zhao Xing was also staring at the battlefield.
When the other party approached.
The two tough vines that had been enchanted with spirit moved out at the same time!
He gave up on other targets and headed straight for the exotic beast leader!
"Roar ~"
The wild boar knocked away the vines one by one and charged forward. The hard impact caused the vines to crack one by one.
However, with the double toughness, the vines did not completely break.
Zhao Xing wanted to see the strength of the Tenacious Vine after it had been enchanted, so he did not use any skills to heal his injuries.
Gradually, the Thunder Boar Leader's speed became slower and slower.
The vines on its body also increased, covering its entire body.
He tightened his grip, tightening it continuously!
The powerful tendrils of the vines directly hung him up and rolled him crazily!
"Woo ~"
Soon, the Thunderclap Boar Leader followed in the footsteps of his underlings and died.
"Done!"
There were only so many beasts in the Wind and Thunder Canyon, and when the leader died, he would immediately be controlled by the A. I. Chip in his body and die together.
Zhao Xing didn't have to worry about his safety, so he rushed forward to check on the Tenacious Vine's condition.
"After the Enchanted Tenacious Vine has received 20% damage, but the main trunk is not damaged, so it's not a big problem.”
"The other two vines have already been uprooted and can't be saved.”
This was his first battle, and Zhao Xing could accept such a situation.
Moreover, he did not use any skills himself. It was completely handled by the plant soldiers in the territory.
"I didn't expect the Tenacious Vines to be so powerful after being enchanted. As expected of an S grade talent.”
Zhao Xing also had a preliminary understanding of his own strength.
With a thought, he retracted his heartworld projection and the vine into his internal world.
As for the color-changing mushrooms, Zhao Xing didn't put them away.
"Anyway, we'll be back tomorrow. Let these mushrooms stay here.”
A vibration came from the wristband. As the Thunderous Boar died, the corresponding wristband also sensed it.
Zhao Xing also received a notification from his wristband. The mission had been completed!
"100 points can be exchanged for some good things to increase my strength!”
"Oh right, look at my ranking."
