Chapter 973: I Want To Save My Men

Within seconds, there were already two red vine chrysalis suspended in mid-air.

Gu Mengmeng could feel Elvis unleas.h.i.+ng his beast pressure as he struggled. But the vines didn’t even budge. They were totally unaffected by the pressure.

The same stinging pain from her ear radiated from her collarbone.

Elvis was also injured!

Gu Mengmeng went mad at that knowledge. She was filled with regret at this instant. If the price of retrieving the Soul of the Forest was the loss of Elvis and Lea, then she didn’t want it.

She would find another way to get her son back. She could not allow anything to happen to Elvis and Lea.

With this line of thought, Gu Mengmeng was already raising one foot to charge into the vines.

She was the most powerful in the entire Beast World. If there was anyone who could save them, it was her.

Before her foot landed, a tug at her waist pulled her back. Gu Mengmeng came face to face with Wabei’s venomous snake eyes, as he hissed into her ears. “What do you think you are doing?!”

“I want to save my men.”

Wabei’s snake tail was tightly wound around Gu Mengmeng waist. He said through clenched jaws, “He used his own life to exchange for yours. I will not let anything untoward happen to you.”

Gu Mengmeng bit her lower lip. She knew Snake had sacrificed himself so that she could live. She knew that she owed Snake her life. But as guilty as she felt, she could not just sit back and watch Elvis and Lea die.

“Stay back! I will go save your puppy and s.l.u.tty fox.” Wabei loosened his hold on Gu Mengmeng. In half-beast form, he was at least 2.5 meters in height and cut an extremely imposing figure. With his back facing her, he said, “Unless I die, I will not allow you to spoil his precious treasure.”

With that, Wabei shot like a rocket into the midst of the red vines. His movements were faster than that of the vines and they struggled to capture him. After over 800 years of fighting with Snake, he was very clear how to avoid harm during at attack. But the thing was, there were just too many vines.

In the end, Wabei became the third vine chrysalis suspended in mid-air.

The pain in her ear and collarbone had already given way to numbness. Gu Mengmeng knew that Elvis and Lea couldn’t hold on much longer.

She had no time to lose.

Although she was physically just a female, she possessed Snake’s powers. So when the vines attacked her, she just grabbed and yanked, instantly tearing them apart.

The broken-off vine tips flopped a couple of times on the ground like fish on dry land before becoming lifeless. Meanwhile, the other half of the vines shrank back as if in pain.

Red liquid oozed out of all the openings and the vine “corpses” became increasingly transparent.

Gu Mengmeng didn’t know what it meant. She just knew that she had the strength to tear apart the vines. This meant she could save Elvis, Lea and Wabei.

The vines didn’t continue coming at her like mindless creatures. Instead, a bunch of them gathered before launching another wave of attack at her.

Three vines meshed together to form a thick creeper. It was even thicker than Gu Mengmeng’s thigh. She wouldn’t be able to get a good hold of it, not to mention being able to tear it.

Even so, the moment the vines charged towards her, Gu Mengmeng grabbed the creeper and pulled at it like she was playing tug-of-war.
