Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 490 The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman’s profit
Actually, saying that the Rock Demon Rhinoceros is completely ineffective against the Thunderous Hell Vine isn't entirely accurate, because the Thunderous Hell Vine, in addition to its ability to control lightning, can also use a large number of highly impactful skills with the power of lightning. Just its terrifying destructive power alone is enough to make soul beasts above the ninth level hesitate to approach it.

However, the problem lies in the fact that the Rock Rhinoceros in front of them has reached a cultivation level of nearly 9 years, and its defensive power can be described as reaching the pinnacle. The Thunderous Hell Vine, with a cultivation level of only 2 years, cannot shake the glutton's determination to use it as an appetizer, whether by bombarding it with lightning balls or whipping it with vines.

The Thunderous Hell Vine, which possessed intelligence from its inception, may have realized that the situation had reached its most dangerous moment, as the Rock Demon Rhino had entered its rooted area.

The Thunderous Hell Vine, which had been constantly blocking its opponent, suddenly became fierce and began a desperate fight. Thunderclaps in the sky kept exploding and rushed vertically towards the Thunderous Hell Vine for it to absorb. As the thunder stored in its body became full, streams of lightning plasma were absorbed by the Thunderous Hell Vine and transformed into countless lightning dragon-like light and shadows that roared towards the Rock Demon Rhinoceros.

Faced with the roaring thunder dragon, the Rock Demon Rhinoceros's eyes revealed a hint of fear. This attack was not just a simple display of raging lightning; its impact even exceeded the pressure of a 50,000-year-old soul beast charging at full power.

Not daring to be negligent in the slightest, the Rock Demon Rhino's skin shone with an obsidian-like light, and its already explosive muscle lines were now even more imposing, like mountains.

In the blink of an eye, the Thunder Dragon crashed into the Demon Rhinoceros's body, and the terrifying energy fluctuations instantly affected the entire forest, spreading a strong smell of burning.

All of this was observed by Tang San, who was perched on a giant tree not far away. He was shocked by the terrifying attack power of the Thunderous Hell Vine. It was only 2 years old, and Tang San was certain that even a non-defense type Soul Douluo would perish if the Thunder Dragon that it had just released was released.

As the thick smoke dissipated, the two soul beasts were once again exposed to Tang San's eyes, unleashing their terrifying attacks. The Thunder Hell Vine's aura appeared somewhat weak, but the Rock Demon Rhino not far away was in no better condition. Its body was covered in bruises and purple marks, making it impossible to identify its species. The skin on its chest, where it had clashed head-on with the Thunder Dragon, was torn open, revealing the flesh beneath.

"MOO!!!!!!"

A deep, thunderous roar echoed through the sky, as if it wanted to release its anger. The Rock Demon Rhino, which had devoured all kinds of plant-type soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, had never suffered such humiliation before. It was beaten to a pulp by a plant.

After snorting a few times, the Demon Rhinoceros once again began to stride towards the Thunderous Hell Vine. This commotion thoroughly triggered the Thunderous Hell Vine's sensitive nerves. All the vines waved in the air, trying to expand their body area to intimidate the opponent and prove their strength. But how could this stop the Rock Demon Rhinoceros's determination to devour it? After all, it had already paid such a price, and the enemy was already a sitting duck. There was no possibility of retreating.

Finally, after countless vines whipped it to no avail, the Rock Demon Rhinoceros successfully reached the part where the Thunderous Hell Vine was rooted and took a fierce bite at its root.

The sound of wood breaking clearly reached Tang San's ears from afar, and Tang Shenwang instantly disappeared from his spot, preparing to launch his operation. He knew that the best opportunity had arrived.

The Thunderous Hell Vine, whose roots had been bitten and cracked, was even more weakened, but it did not lose its life directly. All the vines wrapped around the Rock Demon Rhino's body and released electric light that illuminated the entire forest. The Demon Rhino, which was biting its roots and refusing to let go, also let out bursts of pain. After all, the wound on its chest was huge and could no longer be covered by its stone skin. Electric currents continued to seep into its body.

However, it could sense that the plant in front of it was not far from death, so it had no intention of retreating and continued to bite at its roots without letting go, even subtly increasing its strength.

Just as the Thunderous Hell Vine was losing its strength to resist, the Rock Demon Rhino beneath it suddenly stiffened, its massive jaws snapping open as it bit into the rhino's root. Black blood seeped from the rhino's mouth, and the flow seemed to intensify. In less than five seconds, the once invincible Rock Demon Rhino collapsed to the ground, its limbs convulsing, clearly struggling to breathe.

Ten seconds later, the demonic rhinoceros gradually stopped struggling and completely lost its life. A jet-black soul ring slowly rose from its corpse.

Upon closer inspection, a metal object resembling an umbrella frame was stuck in the wound on the Rock Demon Rhino's chest, and black blood was continuously flowing from the wound, clearly indicating that it had died from severe poisoning.

"To die under the Soul-Chasing Death-Taking Yama's Decree, which ranks third on the inner sect's hidden weapon list, is something you can be proud of."

As footsteps approached, the Thunderous Prison Vine, which had just been rejoicing at its narrow escape, immediately unfurled its countless vines once more, completely unaware of when the person had crept up beside it.

Just as it was about to gather its remaining strength to launch another attack with lightning, Tang San's figure approached its root like a ghost, and the Clear Sky Hammer slammed down without holding back.

The "snap" sound reassured Tang San. No matter how powerful it was, as long as it belonged to the plant family, the part with the root severed would also be finished.

As expected, the Thunderous Hell Vine's accumulation of lightning abruptly stopped, and countless vines began to wither at a visible speed from their roots.

Even so, Tang San still dared not be careless in the slightest. He did not have a body as strong as the Rock Demon Rhino. If he were hit by the terrifying lightning, he would be severely injured even if he did not die. Only when a black spirit ring slowly rose did Tang San breathe a sigh of relief. After putting away the Clear Sky Hammer, he slowly came to the corpse of the Thunderous Hell Vine.

"Although it's not old enough, it's quite suitable as the seventh spirit ring. This trip was worthwhile!"

After glancing around, Tang San didn't linger. He scattered countless poison powders within a one-kilometer radius, then quietly returned to sit cross-legged beside the Thunderous Hell Vine, beginning to adjust his state in preparation for absorbing the spirit ring.

Several tens of minutes later, Tang San, having prepared everything, began to absorb the spirit ring. As the violent spirit power entered his body, he felt waves of tingling and stinging sensations spreading throughout his body. This made him even more convinced of the correctness of absorbing the Thunderous Hell Vine spirit ring. Just relying on the electric adaptability brought by the spirit ring alone was enough to make his physique and meridian strength reach a new level in the future.

Time passed slowly. Not far away, on a giant tree, Xiaodie watched Tang San absorb a yellow hundred-year soul ring. She smiled with satisfaction, then slowly concealed her delicate figure and disappeared into the boundless forest.

Outside Tang San's field of vision, he was absorbing the spirit ring of a hundred-year-old wolf tail grass. He was already more than halfway there, and there was no way to interrupt him. Moreover, he had no idea that all of this was Xiao Die's illusion.
