306 Chapter 306 “Believe in Yourself“
S-she was completely caught!
Li Shi Ying saw how her body was completely caught within very big tree roots.
The tree roots circled her two legs, her thighs, her waist even now it circled her chest.
Li Shi Ying left hand was tied with the tree roots, positioned above her head while her right hand was still inside her clothes.
Ugh before breaking free she have to retract her finger from inside her secret garden. To think that she would get caught inside such a cheap hallucination, she really want to bang her head to this tree!!
Li Shi Ying successfully retract her finger from inside her secret place but then her right wrist was also being caught by the tree roots.
She couldn't move her hand away. It was stuck right on her right thigh.
Ukhh how troublesome!
Li Shi Ying could felt the tree roots were moving very slow to tighten their grip on her body. It seemed that the process of eating will start soon!
Well she better summon Jiu Wei to help her first.
Li Shi Ying summoned Jiu Wei and Di Yu but then....something weird happened.
She couldn't summon them! To be more precise, she couldn't use her divine energy to summon them.
Summoning contracted beast from contracted space needed cultivation energy or divine energy that's why a cripple without cultivation or divine energy couldn't contract a spiritual beast.
She had divine energy even though she couldn't cultivate but then for some reason she couldn't use her divine energy at all!
She couldn't summon any of her contracted beasts.
Li Shi Ying mind felt dizzy. Oh God if she couldn't summon Jiu Wei and the other, also couldn't use her divine energy, how could she escape?!
Li Shi Ying and even Jiu Wei truly didn't know why this man-eating tree was so frightening for every cultivator who came here.
This man-eating tree actually also release a small dose of poison that prevent any cultivator from releasing cultivation or divine energy. That way the cultivator caught within this tree roots could only break free using raw strength or using weapon.
But once again this tree had a very thick roots, even the most powerful man with pure raw strength couldn't budge when get caught by this tree.
Using knife? You will be eaten before you could completely break free. Using sword? The same. Using ancient artifact?
The tree roots might be cut or broke from the attack but then in less than a second the tree roots would grew up again to caught its prey.
In short it was true that every cultivator no matter how strong they were, they couldn't break free alive. It was something impossible and many local people knew about it.
Li Shi Ying felt the tree area around her leg suddenly created a hole. Wait. Not a hole, that...was a mouth.
This man-eating tree usually eat from legs to head, devouring slowly while the prey was still alive.
Oh my God isn't this what we call...life or death situation?
Li Shi Ying indeed feel fear. She was afraid. How could she not be afraid? She was only a normal student up until few months ago when she came here. She had experienced being beaten up, getting wounded but she never been this close to death.
An ugly death even. Being eaten alive by a man-eating tree.
That sounds so disgusting and gross and and....painful!!
This...she couldn't do anything huh? People said it was impossible to break free from this tree roots. She was destined to die the moment she was caught within the roots, right?
Thinking about it, Li Shi Ying felt tired and depressed. She was so scared and panicked that she couldn't think straight. No matter how many experiences she get in this world...she couldn't became a typical female lead who could think of a solution right away.
She was scared! Chen wasn't with her now maybe he was quite far away from her place and none of her beasts could help her. She was alone in this life or death situation, who wouldn't get scared?!
Li Shi Ying had mental breakdown, and was about to gave up when suddenly a voice of her nanny rang throughout her mind.
"Mistress!" Jiu Wei called Li Shi Ying through telepathy instantly gave Li Shi Ying some kind of hope.
"Jiu Wei?Jiu Wei...Jiu Wei!....I...I..." Li Shi Ying sobbed in tears, feeling so excited when she heard this voice of her most beloved nanny. The one who always protected her in danger.
Jiu Wei voice strangely gave Li Shi Ying a sense of peace and calm.
"Mistress don't cry...I know you can't summon us right now. I know mistress is in life or death situation without no one to help but please! Believe in yourself. Normal cultivator maybe can't break free from this tree but mistress can!"
Jiu Wei was also in edge of crying. He felt so useless that his mistress was in danger but he couldn't do anything aside from waiting and believing in her power.
What? She could break free? But how?!
