Chapter 329 - 327: Your Final Goal Is to Kill the Host

Jiang Che furrowed his brows in confusion, the unease in his heart growing stronger.

If every dungeon has a Dark Mother Plant, doesn't that mean there are at least ten mother trees?

This number shocked him, and he became even more concerned about the entire situation.

One tree alone has the power to confront three or four Lords, how strong could so many Dark Forests be!

"If every dungeon has one, does that mean there are at least ten mother trees?" Jiang Che stared at the Dark Mother Plant, asking in a serious tone.

The branches of the Dark Mother Plant trembled slightly, avoiding the question: "I... I'm not sure about that."

Jiang Che noticed it was deliberately hiding something, which made him more certain of his own suspicions.

"Then I'll go ask the other dungeons, see just how many Dark Mother Plants there are." Jiang Che spoke thoughtfully.

Dark Mother Plant: ...

"Are you sick or something, you'll die doing that." It was speechless, wondering why it chose to parasitize Jiang Che.

Usually, when people know some secrets, they would keep them hidden, right?

Like Black Crow, after knowing these hidden messages, would keep them to themselves.

Maybe share them with someone they think they can use.

Never like Jiang Che, who just brazenly goes and asks others about it, about how much they know.

It was a mistake from the start to choose Jiang Che.

Parasiting in Jiang Che's dungeon was the biggest mistake it made.

It had always heard that humans are shrewd and good at strategy, in these years of battles between humans and evil spirits, they knew very well.

The evil spirits might think humans are just vessels of fear.

But the Dark Forest knows, give humans a chance and they'll turn the situation around.

When it blocked the passage, it came to the human world first, the first step was to reproduce and understand the human strategic layout.

It didn't want to get involved with Leng Feng over there and the entanglement with Dark Star.

After scouting around, it found the strongest human was Jiang Che.

In its observations, Jiang Che was ruthless, showing no mercy even to his own kind.

It thought Jiang Che was the best host for parasitism.

These mother plants can't change hosts in a short time, each change causes severe harm.

After discovering Jiang Che was abnormal, it felt something was wrong.

Now hearing Jiang Che's threat, it was even more speechless.

Can't you hold onto some secrets?

Why tell other evil spirits and Dark Forests?

Using the things you know to play an effective counterattack, isn't that what humans should do?

"Oh, then I'll just die." Jiang Che said indifferently.

His tone was calm, as if discussing something insignificant.

If he couldn't protect his family, he didn't consider staying alive.

Besides, in his view, these are the Dark Mother Plant's secrets, not his own.

Does he have the responsibility and obligation to keep its secrets?

Jiang Che's thinking was clear and direct, he wouldn't be swayed by the Dark Mother Plant's threats.

"If you don't say, then I'll go ask myself." Jiang Che said as he prepared to leave.

His actions were decisive, without hesitation.

Since parasiting in Jiang Che's dungeon, the Dark Mother Plant could read part of Jiang Che's inner thoughts.

It had long discovered Jiang Che cared about no one but his family.

Now saying he'll ask the Lords and Dark Mother Plants in other dungeons, he meant it.

The branches of the Dark Mother Plant quivered slightly, contemplating how to handle Jiang Che's threat.

"Don't! Don't go!" the Dark Mother Plant hurriedly said, "I'll tell, I'll tell, isn't it enough? There are only ten in total, I'm one of them."

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes slightly, considering the truth in its words.

Then he looked at it in confusion, "Ten dungeons, one plant per dungeon, and you're here, are you lying to me?"

"And why did you choose me?" Jiang Che continued to probe.

The Dark Mother Plant paused, seemingly sorting its thoughts.

"I was driven out by another tree from a Lord's dungeon." Its voice carried a trace of helplessness and anger.

After being driven out, the Dark Mother Plant couldn't find a stronger host, so it occupied the passage.

Initially, it just wanted to absorb the life here to strengthen itself.

But the essence of the Dark Forest is parasitism, without it, it would quickly wither.

Jiang Che listened to its explanation, but his vigilance did not lessen. "Then what about the other mother plants? What are they doing? Why didn't they stop you from occupying the passage?"

The Dark Mother Plant sighed: "The other mother plants are also looking for suitable parasitic hosts."

"Among us, there is competition but also a certain tacit understanding. As long as fundamental interests are not involved, we won't easily conflict."

"As for my occupation of the passage, they might be observing, seeing what benefits I could gain from you. If it's beneficial to them, they might take action; if not, they'll continue waiting for the right time."

Jiang Che squinted, he noticed a statement from this mother plant. 'Without touching fundamental interests, there's no easy conflict.'

And now this mother plant lost to humans and fled.

What caused them to start a conflict of interests?

"What is the situation with the Lord dungeon you were driven from now?" Jiang Che suddenly asked.

The Dark Mother Plant hesitated for a moment, then said: "That dungeon is probably being targeted by other mother plants now."

It hesitated and, after a long time, reluctantly said, "The dungeon I parasitized before was Dark Star's territory."

It didn't continue speaking, it didn't mention when Ding Ning attacked Dark Star, it had also participated.

At that time, sensing Ding Ning's actions, it immediately controlled Dark Star's main body, preventing him from retrieving that avatar, allowing Ding Ning to cut it off.

Silently, Jiang Che didn't guess this part, so it wouldn't proactively speak out.

Thinking of this made it wish it could kill Jiang Che.

This human doesn't seem clever usually!

But when he talked with it, after a few questions, he could figure out the truth of the situation.

Even if it denied some things, the other party could still glimpse the truth from them!

Coming to this world, it initially screened out two people.

One was Jiang Che, the other was Leng Feng.

But Leng Feng's connection with Dark Star was irrevocable, it immediately denied Leng Feng, choosing Jiang Che.

"Oh, I get it, your ultimate goal is to kill the host." Jiang Che nodded, saying that these forests can't be without any goals.
