#203 - Chapter 203 Completely Disappeared
Inside the cave, everyone watched the battle in the sky with trepidation.
Yuan Ping swallowed hard. "This Corpse Hanging Vine is so strong!"
Zhao Xue said solemnly, "Can Li Chenqiu win?"
Xiang Nanzhi said with a relaxed expression, "No problem, his ability is fire element, which restrains the Corpse Hanging Vine."
In the sky, Li Chenqiu stopped after flying to a certain height and looked down.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The tips of the vines gleamed coldly in the night, gathering together and stabbing towards Li Chenqiu.
Facing this attack, Li Chenqiu raised his left hand, and at the same time, a giant hand condensed from flames appeared above his head.
At the critical moment, Li Chenqiu made a grasping motion towards the vines, and the giant flame hand moved accordingly.
Bang!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—
The turbulent air waves spread out, creating ripples in the air.
The giant flame hand tightly clenched the gathered vines, causing the ghost ship to stop and unable to advance.
Li Chenqiu looked at the taut vines, his eyebrows curved, he flapped his wings and disappeared in place, swooping down along the vine body.
In just a moment, all six blood vine fruits on the Corpse Hanging Vine were collected by Li Chenqiu.
After completing everything, the giant flame hand holding the Corpse Hanging Vine suddenly spread downwards.
Woo woo woo—
A series of miserable cries came from the Corpse Hanging Vine, it frantically danced its body trying to extinguish the flames, but all in vain.
In a short while, the Corpse Hanging Vine turned into ashes and dissipated between the sky and the earth.
Li Chenqiu, holding a few vines that had returned to their original state, landed at the entrance of the cave.
Yuan Ping and others immediately gathered around when they saw this.
"Li Chenqiu, are you okay?"
Li Chenqiu waved his hand: "I'm fine."
After speaking, he handed the vines in his arms to Yuan Ping.
"Thank you." Yuan Ping nodded gratefully: "Let's leave quickly, such a big commotion will probably attract a lot of trouble."
Li Chenqiu said with a smile, "You guys go first, I have some things to deal with, and I can't leave for the time being."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Yuan Ping asked puzzledly, "Do you need our help?"
Before Li Chenqiu could speak, Xiang Nanzhi stood up: "Your leaving quickly is the greatest help to Li Chenqiu."
Li Chenqiu smiled noncommittally.
Understanding Li Chenqiu's meaning, Yuan Ping and others packed up their things and hurriedly left the place.
After seeing Yuan Ping and others leave, Xiang Nanzhi excitedly shook Li Chenqiu's arm: "Quick, let me see what the blood vine fruit looks like, what does it taste like!"
Li Chenqiu covered his backpack: "It's red, like an apple, I'll describe the taste to you after I eat it."
Xiang Nanzhi looked at Li Chenqiu speechlessly: "What do you mean, don't you think I want to eat your blood vine fruit?"
"Isn't asking what it tastes like the same as wanting to eat it?" Li Chenqiu looked at Xiang Nanzhi warily: "If you want to eat it, bring money to buy it."
"I..." Xiang Nanzhi smiled speechlessly: "Who said that tasting requires eating, can't you smell it with your nose, lick it with your tongue?"
Li Chenqiu's face darkened, and he covered his backpack even tighter.
"You嫌弃me?" Xiang Nanzhi's pupils dilated, and she looked at Li Chenqiu in surprise: "I don't have bad breath, why do you嫌弃me, don't believe me, smell it."
Saying that, Xiang Nanzhi opened her mouth wide and stretched it towards Li Chenqiu.
Seeing this, Li Chenqiu hurriedly backed away, just about to say something when Xiang Nanzhi pointed to the ghost ship and said, "Why is the color of that ship getting lighter and lighter?"
"Getting lighter and lighter?" Li Chenqiu turned his head in surprise.
When he saw the color of the ghost ship in the distance becoming lighter and lighter, almost completely transparent, Li Chenqiu's pupils shrank: "It's about to disappear, quick, go to that piece of wood!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chenqiu jumped directly onto Xiang Nanzhi's back.
"What are you doing?" Xiang Nanzhi asked in a daze.
Li Chenqiu shook Xiang Nanzhi's shoulder: "Hurry up, I won't make it in time at my speed!"
"You actually treat me like a mule..."
"What are you still doing in a daze, it's almost too late, aren't you curious about where the ghost ship will go?" Li Chenqiu urged.
"You wait for me!"
Xiang Nanzhi gritted her teeth, her figure swayed, disappeared in place, without even leaving an afterimage, and in just an instant, she came to the wood that ran through the ghost ship.
At the same time, the ghost ship completely disappeared, whether it was the thick fog or the piece of wood.
Li Chenqiu jumped off Xiang Nanzhi's body and fell into deep thought looking at the empty space under his feet.
"Hey, where did the wood go?" Several big question marks popped out on Xiang Nanzhi's head.
Li Chenqiu squatted down and reached out to touch under his feet.
Xiang Nanzhi looked down at Li Chenqiu: "What did you摸out?"
Li Chenqiu said seriously: "摸out that we are stepping on an invisible piece of wood."
Xiang Nanzhi: -_-b
"What to do now?" Xiang Nanzhi asked.
"Wait a minute, let's see where this ghost ship is going." Li Chenqiu stood up and looked in the direction the ghost ship was heading.
Xiang Nanzhi sat down on the ground helplessly: "Boring."
"Maybe wait a minute... Eh?"
Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows and looked at the back of Xiang Nanzhi inexplicably.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Nanzhi tugged at Li Chenqiu's trouser leg.
"Eh, why is that?" Li Chenqiu frowned: "Why can that tree pass through the wood on the ghost ship?"
"What tree?" Xiang Nanzhi twisted her neck to look back, and collided straight with the oncoming tree trunk.
Bang!
"Ouch!"
Xiang Nanzhi raised her hands to the sky and fell backwards.
Li Chenqiu withdrew backwards, dodging the tree trunk while also grabbing Xiang Nanzhi.
"Damn it, this thing that has a tree born but no tree raised!" Xiang Nanzhi covered her swollen forehead.
"There are all kinds of people these days, even trees can be verbally abused." The corner of Li Chenqiu's mouth twitched.
"You!" Xiang Nanzhi pointed at Li Chenqiu's nose: "What do you mean, why didn't you tell me that the tree was coming, did you deliberately want to see me embarrass myself?"
"I thought you, a dignified Ten Forbidden Resurrector, could detect it, but I didn't expect..." Li Chenqiu shook his head.
"I... That's right, I already noticed it, I just wanted to see your attitude towards me, but I didn't expect, the result made me feel cold!" Xiang Nanzhi covered her chest.
Li Chenqiu ignored Xiang Nanzhi, but looked at the end of the wood: "I see."
"What are you muttering about, what 'I see'?" Xiang Nanzhi said unhappily.
"The reason why we can see this ghost ship is because the Corpse Hanging Vine grew out of the end of this wood. Now that the Corpse Hanging Vine has been removed by me, it will naturally become completely invisible.
I estimate that after it floats for a while, it will leave the forest and go to a place we don't know."
Li Chenqiu explained.
Xiang Nanzhi asked, "I'm a little curious, why can the tree trunk pass through this wood, the wood obviously exists?"
Li Chenqiu glanced at Xiang Nanzhi: "Even you, a master of erudition, don't know, how could I know?"
At this moment, a burst of discussion came from a distance.
