Chapter 893
Swoosh, swoosh!
At that moment, numerous tendrils emerge one after another in the areas where the underground
movements were the most intense,unching fierce attacks on the nearest targets.
For a while, chaos and panic spread.
Andrius watched it all clearly.
These tendrils appeared to be extremely tough vines.
Even the family heads struggled to break them with a single move. The high–level experts of each
family who were entangled by the tendrils found themselves in dire straits.
The situation instantly became unfavorable.
Swoosh!
Whoosh, whoosh!
Andrius observed the situation while constantly dodging to avoid direct attacks from the tendrils. He
noticed the nearby campfire and had a bold idea.
In theory, tendrils were a type of nt and should be somewhat afraid of fire.
Thus, Andrius picked up a torch to fend off the tendrils.
However…
Once the tendrils sensed the presence of fire, they became incredibly aggressive. Their strikes became
even faster and their strength more formidable than before.
“Could it be…”
Andrius frowned and threw the torch back into the campfire.
Sure enough, the next second, the tendrils suddenly returned to their previous state.
With this discovery, Andrius immediately informed everyone, “Everyone! The campfires seem to agitate
these unknown nts and provoke their attacks. Try extinguishing the campfires.”
Extinguish the campfires in this pitch–ck night?
The four family heads exchanged nces and hesitated.
Swoosh!
However, the leader of the Medicine Sect, Wade, pped his palm on the Medicine Sect campfire,
extinguishing it and leaving only thick ck smoke.
Rustle…
Whoosh…
Immediately, the tendrils that had been attacking in this direction retracted.
Seeing this, the four families also extinguished their campfires.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…
Swish, swish, swish…
Then, all the tendrils stopped their attacks and slowly retreated deep underground. Everything became
calm again. The battle came to an end.
The Swallows had once again lost several high–level experts, and Norvin questioned in displeasure,
“Goddammit. What the hell is going on?”
The ck Hawk said slowly, “I’ve read about a type of vine in ancient texts called the ‘Dousing Vine‘. It
can sleep deep underground for hundreds or even thousands of years. However, it wakes up from its
slumber when it encounters fire.
“Due to its long dormancy of hundreds or even thousands of years, its growth is extremely terrifying.
Even a single tendril possesses tremendous power, making it incredibly
challenging for even high–level martial experts to deal with it.
Sure enough, as the former leader of the Hawkeye Group, the ck Hawk was a walking
encyclopedia.
“Fuck! Are the Kleins sick in the head?”
“First, it was Sanguis bats, then it was Dousing Vines. They must be insane.”
“Goddammit. Fortunately, we discovered it early, otherwise the losses would’ve been even greater.”

Norvin, Tyrell, and the other family heads were clearly very unhappy after they counted their losses.
Norvin nced at the Medicine Sect members and snorted coldly. “Wade Klein! Did you already know
about these deadly traps? Otherwise, why are your losses so minimal?”
As he spoke, the other three family heads‘ expressions also changed. They looked at Wade with
unfriendly eyes.
“Nonsense.” Wade rolled his eyes. “You guys rushed in like madmen. Of course, you suffered heavy
casualties.”
“Ridiculous!” Norvin snorted coldly. “The Medicine Sect must be deliberately ying tricks behind the
scenes, causing these things to keep attacking us! You’re going too far, Wade. How could you use such
despicable means? Don’t me me for being impolite!”
At that point, Norvin was ready to take action.
Wade did not back down and red angrily at him.
The two sides were about to fight.
“It’s a natural urrence.”
At the critical moment, Andrius stepped forward and said slowly, “The treasure map clearly states that
the entrance to the treasure is at the convergence of the Yin and Yang poles.
“During the day, this ce is inhabited by the Sanguis bats that prepare darkness, and they were wiped
out by powerful weapons like explosives.
“At night, we were attacked by the Dousing Vines which dislike mes, and they silently
retreated after we extinguished all the campfires.
“Isn’t that a portrayal of the convergence of Yin and Yang? What’s there to argue about?”
With Andrius‘ words, the family heads thought it over and understood.
“It seems he’s right.”
“Damn it, what’s this Yin and Yang nonsense? It’s just trouble!”
“Fuck, why did they make it soplicated? It’s like they’re deliberately trying to provoke us.”
The tense standoff came to an end with a lot of grumbling.
Just as everyone was preparing to return to their respective tents for a good rest, Andrius suddenly
pointed to a distant cave entrance. “Do you think that might be the entrance to the treasure?”
