"Huh?"

Wang Wu was taken aback, "This... isn't appropriate."

"Come on, there's nothing inappropriate about it. I'm the one leading the way for our team, don't worry, I'm not Bu Er. Your Devil Vine won't pose a fatal threat to me, besides, even if it does, it means I have shortcomings, which is an invaluable asset for my growth!"

Yuan Bupu spoke righteously, and it made perfect sense.

Wang Wu had no choice but to glance at Xiong Shiliu, and only when this fellow nodded did he confirm.

Then he also felt that the third phase of the Devil Vine was unlikely to pose any threat to Yuan Bupu, considering he's a proper tank player.

At this moment, he felt a twinge in his heart and slowly activated the Companion Demon Vine. Indeed, he only intended to activate it slowly, but the Devil Vine seemed like a dog starved for nine days and nights, and as soon as the gate opened, it shot out with an "aww" without any respect. What's with the enthusiasm?

Aren't you acknowledging me as your master anymore?

Wang Wu was very angry, but he didn't stop it; mainly, he couldn't stop it. The thing was too fast, like lightning, and in a flash, over thirty meters of tentacles wrapped around Yuan Bupu like a dumpling.

Countless spines directly pierced down, but as expected, they couldn't penetrate due to Yuan Bupu's high basic defense.

"Hehehe!"

Yuan Bupu let out an odd laugh, feeling very proud.

In the next moment, he was about to forcefully break free from the Devil Vine tentacles' restraint, when suddenly the tentacles quickly grew many branching spines, like several tiny venomous snakes, burrowing into the gaps all over Yuan Bupu's body!

"Audacious! Come back to me!"

Wang Wu was driven mad with rage, we can't do this, we really shouldn't! You're throwing my dignity out the window!

How did I end up with such a Companion Demon Vine? You rogue, you scoundrel, you're so despicable you should just be called Xiong the Sixth!

But Wang Wu's command was still 0.1 seconds late, mainly because the tentacles split so fast that in a swoosh, a fine hair-thin tentacle had already burrowed in.

At that instant, Yuan Bupu's left eye, right ear, and both nostrils were pierced, firmly, and even the poison injection was extremely fast, precisely 300 points!

Of all the misfortune, Wang Wu managed to call a halt just in time, preventing the Devil Vine tentacles from going further down, yet even so, Yuan Bupu let out a blood-curdling scream as though pigs were being slaughtered!

Indeed, imagining a tank ape known for its defense screaming like that is beyond belief—what on earth did it go through?

Something felt awry about the Devil Vine.

Wang Wu stood sheepishly, feeling wronged and powerless, not knowing what to do, brow furrowed.

Well, thankfully, before major mistakes were made, he forcibly retracted the Devil Vine tentacles.

But Yuan Bupu continued to scream, with green grass sprouting from his eyes, nose, and ears—who knows what kind of mutation occurred.

Anyway, he just felt quite innocent.

And Xiong Shiliu was also dumbstruck, but he didn't administer an antidote to Yuan Bupu, because clearly, 3,000 points of paralyzing poison damage wasn't fatal, so let him suffer a bit and gain some negative resistance.

Nonetheless, his cries were terribly hard to endure.

Then the cries subsided as Yuan Bupu fell silent, the paralyzing toxin taking full effect.

Both his eyes leaked black blood, tongue sticking out long, limbs stiff, and—needless to say, he wet himself too, sigh, what a horrific scene, Wang Wu couldn't help but be horrified and chilled.

"Uh, Shi Liu, watch them here for a while, I'm going to keep lookout for warnings."

Wang Wu awkwardly grinned and fled headlong, as he suddenly noticed Xiong Shiliu showing an eager-to-try expression.

No, this isn't right, you can't, really shouldn't...

Yet, as he tried to run, Xiong Shiliu snatched his tail that he had almost forgotten for a long time.

Oh my gosh, Xiong Xiong don't put Xiong Xiong in a tough spot, does this make any sense?

Wang Wu shook his head resolutely, but Xiong Shiliu nodded firmly.

"Brother, this isn't okay, we're in the wild now, surrounded by danger, with brothers in poor condition, we need to protect them. I think you should stand guard while I keep watch, we'll find another opportunity later."

Wang Wu could only try to persuade him emotionally and rationally.

Really, this wasn't prudent at all. If he toppled Xiong Shiliu, their little team would be wiped out by 99%!

Don't you understand, you just praised him for having the disposition of a Demon Emperor, now you're ruining his reputation!

Then, the next second, Xiong Shiliu flipped his paw, and out came an Eighth-Grade Ginseng Vitality Pill.

Wow wow, Wang Wu's eyes lit up instantly, the world suddenly seemed so wonderful.

My son truly has—not right, wrong words! It's my adoptive father.

Truly generous, this father figure is worth knowing!

Wang Wu snatched the Eighth-Grade Ginseng Vitality Pill without delay, then, under Xiong Shiliu's expectant gaze, he ate it directly.

Wow wow wow!

Such a boost!

5,000 Points of Vitality, oh yeah.

However, if you think he'd spare even a bit for the Companion Demon Vine, his name would be written backward.

The Demon Vine almost lost control just now, already having its own little thoughts, even playing tricks on its own. If it advances one more level, who knows what it might do! We can't even dare to imagine!

So, it's absolutely impossible!

Even if the vitality is stored inside him, nearly turning him into a purple eggplant Thanos, it is still impossible.

Xiong Shiliu looked at him for a while, suddenly smiled, let go of Wang Wu's tail, and gestured that he could leave.

No doubt, this guy meant that the three-stage Demon Vine posed no threat to it. Since you don't want to enhance it, then there's no need to try.

Wang Wu grinned, truly sympathetic.

Farewell, godfather!

He quickly ran to a distant spot, climbed up a big tree, and actually started acting as a lookout there.

Although it practically serves no purpose since guys like Xiong Shiliu and Yuan Bupu are cautious and wouldn't really put themselves in danger.

However, speaking of which, it's better to be cautious, to have respect for unknown dangers.

So a few seconds later, he unhesitatingly began using the Inner Breathing Technique. He had to use this method to suppress the surging vitality inside him, akin to a volcanic eruption.

5,000 Points, minus the body's storage limit, there's still a surplus of 3,500 Points.

This stuff isn't like Spiritual Qi that will dissipate after 24 hours. It truly doesn't dissipate.

As for the Devil Vine that cries for sustenance, get lost as far as you can.

The Inner Breathing Technique continued to operate, and the mobilization of Qi and Blood was relentless.

But it's truly challenging.

The hardship of hunger and the discomfort of being overstuffed are equally hard.

Wang Wu couldn't help but want the Demon Vine to shoot at him to consume some vitality.

However, his rationality quickly quashed that thought.

One word, endure!

After all, there's no danger to his life.

Moreover, the operation and adjustment of the Inner Breathing Technique are not without effect.

Gradually, he even found a method, a way to move as much of the vitality as possible, to let it flow like currency in a market.

Like how it's no good for a wealthy landlord to bury copper coins in the cellar, but to let money flow.

Through flow, open up new storage and flow space to create a dynamic, scientific, more efficient organism.

Initially, Wang Wu could only let about ten percent of the vitality flow in a small range. This was the maximum flow space he could squeeze out.

Through this flow space, he brought over another ten percent of the vitality.

The process of reallocation could temper the body parts it passed through.

Yes, temper, like exercising.

This is a method of internal training no inferior to external training.

In fact, since his mastery of the Inner Breathing Technique, he would practice a set whenever idle and vitality was sufficient. It's subtle, but the effect is no less.

This kind of tempering can consume vitality in small amounts.

By gradually adjusting, tempering, consuming, and increasing the flow space, Wang Wu's purple potato Thanos state weakened bit by bit.

Gradually, he even threw himself entirely into it, even ceased breathing. His entire body from top to bottom, inside and out, was like a closed loop. His heartbeat even slowed down and wasn't as strong anymore.

So much so, he unwittingly entered a state of Passive Concealment.

Meanwhile, Xiong Shiliu only glanced in another direction for a few seconds, and when he turned back, where was Wang Wu?

At this moment, even in its clear gaze, a cloud of sighs seemed to pass by.

"This guy is truly outstanding!"

At some point, Yuan Bupu struggled to get up, still extremely exhausted, as if an invisible Great Demon King had tormented him.

"Shiliu, give me a Ginseng Vitality Pill."

Xiong Shiliu shook his head and pointed with his paw at the big tree where Wang Wu was located.

Although Wang Wu was invisible now, it dared to guarantee he was still there. This had nothing to do with any Divine Power Secret Technique but was related to intelligence.

"What! You gave it the last one! Do you know how precious this thing is!"

Yuan Bupu seemed somewhat defenseless but then realized, "You intend to force it to open the Companion Demon Vine's permissions? That's right, its Companion Demon Vine is definitely a rare species in the West Wilderness. Oh my, the feeling just now was like being in Purgatory, but this Little Bear is too cautious. Without enough Companion permissions, the true power of this strange Demon Vine can't be unleashed."

"I'll go persuade it later!"

But Xiong Shiliu still shook his head, and Yuan Bupu was stunned, then laughed strangely, "Shiliu, you're too mean, you're so clever, to capture it by playing hard to get, haha, the Eighth-Grade Ginseng Vitality Pill contains enough vitality to make an Eighth-Grade Little Demon explode. If it can't hold on, it naturally can only turn to the Companion Demon Vine for help!"

"Indeed, this method is too unscrupulous."

Xiong Shiliu remained silent, his gaze clear, sitting plump and round there like a saint of the Bear Race.
