Horned Demon continued to explain, "All of the magic vines you see now are grown from the mother root. The mother root is the source of power for these magic vines, and the reason why these magic vines can't be killed is because of the mother root. With the mother root, these magic vines can be cut down and the mother root can provide them with endless power to continue growing.

"There was only one way to kill such a monster." Horned Demon sighed and continued.

"Then where is its mother?" Lin Tian did not waste any time and continued to ask.

"Generally speaking, the mother root of such a monster only exists in one place. It is underground!"

"Underground?" Lin Tian was even more puzzled.

"That's right, these vines are actually all grown from underground. The mother root lives in the earth, and after these vines kill humans, they pass on the essence of human flesh and blood to the mother root. In this way, the cycle will continue …"

"Understood." Lin Tian did not waste any more words and also did not ask any more questions.

Instead, he turned around and whispered these words to the crowd.

After hearing Lin Tian's thoughts, Fang Xing and the other two all looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.

"You've gone mad! It's not like you don't know that these things can't be killed. However, they're existences like this. Yet, you still dare to provoke them?" Fang Xing looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.

"If we don't provoke them, are we waiting for death?" Lin Tian asked as he pointed at Gu Yan'er.

Fang Xing and Du Feng immediately turned to look at Gu Yan'er, only to discover that her brow was covered in sweat, and her face had turned even paler. This was a sign of her exhaustion, but after thinking about it, it was easy to understand.

Under this kind of restriction, Gu Yan'er would naturally not be able to endure after continuously using her Yuan Power to release the poison gas.

"What if she can't take it? What should we do? Use our identity tokens?" Lin Tian asked again.

Fang Xing stopped talking.

To use an identity token meant to be eliminated. They naturally didn't want to be eliminated in the first round.

However, they couldn't understand, there was such an existence as the Vampiric Demonic Vine in this region, did Yang Qingtian really know about it?

If they knew, were they here to send them to their deaths?

If he didn't know, then this matter was really big.

Just now, when the Vampiric Demonic Vine appeared, a lot of students died at its hands.

If this continues, I'm afraid all of them will die …

Of course, it is possible that someone had already used an identity token and escaped …

However, these weren't things that they should consider. Hearing Lin Tian's seemingly crazy idea, the three of them were somewhat shocked. However, right now, it seemed that this was the only solution.

Lin Tian, Du Feng and Fang Xing quickly moved out while Gu Yan'er continued to block the attacks of the Demonic Vines.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!" Sounds of explosions could be heard from time to time.

The force from their palm landed on the ground and forcefully smashed the ground apart.

Horned Demon said that the mother root was underground and that was the only way to go deep underground.

Lin Tian used the dragon scale spear and continuously waved it, cutting off the vines that drilled out from the ground.

It would take time for the cut off vines to regrow. Although it wasn't long, it was definitely enough for them.

The earth flew up, and as long as vines attacked, Lin Tian would instantly cut them off one by one …

But after a while, everyone already dug a few feet deep, but the deeper they dug, the more Lin Tian's eyebrows wrinkled.

The further down they went, the more vines they had, the thicker they grew, and the faster they grew.

But this also proved that the closer they got to the mother root.

As if it had sensed the movements of Lin Tian and the others, the demonic vines that were incomparably quiet due to fear of the poisonous gas on Gu Yan'er's body began to stir restlessly.

Numerous Demonic Vines swiftly began attacking Gu Yan'er.

However, it was clear that Gu Yan'er's poison aura could completely restrain them. The moment the Demonic Vine approached Gu Yan'er, it turned into pus.

But even so, Gu Yan'er also felt the sudden increase in the pressure.

"Quick, quick, quick!" Lin Tian, who was continuously brandishing his Dragon Scale Spear, also felt somewhat breathless.

There are more and more Demonic Vines …

Not long after, finally, when he was several meters deep underground, Lin Tian finally felt an alarm coming from his Divine Palace.

It was as if an extremely terrifying thing had appeared, causing Lin Tian to feel threatened.

The whirlpool in his dantian quickly rotated, dispersing the uneasiness and anxiety in Lin Tian's heart.

"Brat, the mother root is about to come out …" At this time, the Horned Demon within the Divine Palace suddenly spoke.

At the same time, outside the Withering Bloom Swamp.

From the very beginning, one after another, there were students who used their identity tokens and were saved.

At the beginning, there weren't that many people, but after that, there were more and more people.

Until now, it had been a complete climax.

Before long, there were already dozens of students using their identity tokens.

"What's going on?" Zhou Tian Xing frowned. Didn't they know that by using their identity tokens, they basically meant that they had no fate with the following matches?

However, looking at the students who had been sent out, their faces were filled with shock, and some even had expressions of having been reborn from their tribulations, Zhou Tian Xing became even more confused …

Without hesitation, he immediately went to find a genius from the East District, the one who had lost to Lin Tian earlier, Wang Tiangang, who possessed the physique of a beast spirit.

"What is going on?" Zhou Tian Xing asked.

Wang Tiangang recounted the situation inside with a few words.

"Strange vines, sucking in human flesh? And then spit out the white bones? " Zhou Tian Xing's brows were knit tightly together. How was this possible? Previously, he and the Headmasters of the other three branch academies had personally gone to the Withering Bloom Swamp to investigate. However, there wasn't such a thing as what Wang Tiangang had said …

However, when he saw that Wang Tiangang's face was also deathly pale, he didn't ask any further questions.

He had come back to tell Yang Qingtian and Nangong Ji about this.

"This matter must be reported to the Headmaster!" They had also seen the current situation on the field.

This must mean something must have happened inside. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many students choosing their identity tokens.

Of course, there were still many people who hadn't used their identity tokens yet, but according to what Wang Tiangang said, they were already dead.

However, the most important people in the Northern Courtyard had not come out yet, especially Lin Tian. Could it be that something happened to him inside?

The West Branch's President, Nangong, and the South Branch's Dean, Zhang Wuya, also nodded their heads in agreement. The West Branch's President, Nangong, and the South Branch, Zhang Wuya, also nodded their heads in agreement.

The four of them immediately came to the spectating platform and wanted to tell Gu Qingyuan about this.
