Chapter 1284 - 1384: Enemy Response

At this moment, not only Ye Tianfan but everyone else is watching this Substitute Magical Treasure to see if it will work. Everyone wants to know whether this Magical Treasure will be effective.

If it works, everything will be fine; if not, they will continue to be trapped in the Chaos Divine Pearl.

Although the Chaos Divine Pearl feels like an idyllic paradise, it will eventually lead them into decay, for a life of ease can indeed cause one to degenerate. Only a life that constantly pushes for progress will help everyone improve gradually.

After the Substitute Magical Treasure left, the vine monster seemed to sense something and turned its gaze in the direction of the Substitute Magical Treasure.

At this moment, everyone's heart was in their throat, for if the vine monster pursued the Substitute Magical Treasure, they would be free. If not, they would continue to be trapped here.

Next, the crowd witnessed a scene that filled them with joy: the vine monster slowly followed in the direction where the Substitute Magical Treasure vanished.

But instead of saying it chased after, it was more hesitant about whether to pursue it.

Because the vine monster kept stopping and starting, barely moving far enough that Ye Tianfan and the others could still see its silhouette within the Chaos Divine Pearl.

This indicated that the vine monster seemed to have noticed something about the Substitute Magical Treasure, but was unsure, resulting in its indecisive pursuit.

The previously joyful faces slowly grew silent, realizing they couldn't celebrate prematurely as they saw the vine monster hesitate.

After all, if the vine monster suddenly realized the truth, they would have to continue staying in the Chaos Divine Pearl.

So everyone began silently urging the vine monster to chase after it quickly, and then wait for two or three days. If the vine monster didn't return, they could confirm their escape.

Understandably, the vine monster had long drained any semblance of fighting spirit from the crowd.

They witnessed the vine monster fighting against the true Ye Tian, crushing him completely, activating just one or two runes on its vine, overwhelming Ye Tian and grinding him into the ground repeatedly, leaving no chance to resist.

Even wanting to help at the time was futile, as the vine monster's runes would fling crowds away the moment they were activated.

Though the vine monster refrained from inflicting mortal harm on others, they realized that now is not the time to ponder this.

No matter how they thought about it, ultimately, it's up to the vine monster's mood. If the vine monster decides to let them go, they don't need to do anything to be set free, but if it doesn't, no efforts will save them.

While their earlier joy was called off, excitement returned as they saw the vine monster seemingly making up its mind before vanishing instantly, with its Demonic Qi and Evil Qi aura fading away towards where the Substitute Magical Treasure had gone.

Cheering erupted among the crowd, knowing their plan succeeded, though only halfway. To completely succeed depends on how long the Substitute Magical Treasure can endure. The longer it lasts, the safer they'll be.

Yet they knew they couldn't leave just now, for the vine monster wasn't far away enough. If it sensed their presence, it could return instantly, faster than a heartbeat.

Of course, saying "instantly" is slightly exaggerated unless the vine monster uses its full acceleration abilities, in which case it could indeed return instantaneously.

So the group decided to wait for two days to see if their plan truly worked and to verify the Substitute Magical Treasure's success.

Since the success of the Substitute Magical Treasure determines their escape from danger, they held back their urge to leave, knowing it would be the most foolish move.

If the vine monster executed a surprise attack, they would all fall victim here.

This is no joke, but reality, for against the vine monster, they were utterly powerless, not due to lack of effort, but the enemy being too formidable.

The vine monster's strength exceeded all expectations, having innumerable special abilities when even possessing a single ability is already impressive. Each ability rivals any Elder, making it impossible for them to match the vine monster.

Moreover, the vine monster's inherent strength is incredibly high, able to defeat any Elder with a single ability.

The vine monster's power is undeniably unstoppable for them.

Thus, they could only devise this plan to use a Substitute Magical Treasure to distract and lure the vine monster away to escape.

They had no choice but to use this method, as no other strategies were viable.

It's not a lack of effort but realizing the enemy is overwhelmingly powerful, forcing them to choose a method usually dismissed as shameful.

Such a strategy is disgraceful, and though unwilling to use it, they had no option, lest they wait endlessly for the vine monster to leave.

Such waiting could stretch to years, even decades.
