334 Old Skill (1/2)

Krune pondered a bit and said.

”It depends on how the Vines feel our presence. Could it be Divine Sense?”

Feifei understood what Krune wanted.

”The Tribulation Lightning Layer can indeed hide you from Divine Sense, but I think it is too risky. As far as I can see, those vines would probably be a problem even for Void Breaking Realm cultivators and demon beasts.”

Suddenly, Krune and the others saw one of the cultivators trying to move close. Surprisingly, they could barely feel his presence. If not because he was right in front of them, they might have missed him unless he got closer.

”He's using a technique to merge with the environment.”

At first, it seemed to be working. He got into the range of the vines, but they didn't seem to react. Unfortunately, just when he stepped on the soil between the vines, the situation changed, and the vines all shot at him. That guy noticed that things had gone south and burst out of the Vines Range. Fortunately, he was prepared for it, so he was fast enough to leave their attack range.

Krune looked a the full event and then had an idea.

”Maybe, it is the vibrations.”

Everyone looked at him, puzzled.

”Any movements that you make will cause a reaction. Once you step forward, the ground trembles a bit, if you decide to float, the air around you will move. All of that causes vibration, which I believe the vines are using to feel our presence.”

Krune then trowed a Wind Blade above the Vines, and sure enough, the vines immediately attacked it.

Finally, everyone understood what Krune meant with that.

Dilo then thought about one thing.

”Look at the other side of the vines. It seems like they are only stopping us from passing through. They are not beside those cave rooms. I'm not sure, but there is a chance that once we pass through the vines, we will be able to enter the cave rooms and take what is inside.”

Krune and the others nodded. They, too, noticed this much.

One of the outsiders also noticed when Krune threw that wind blade and tried to fly above the vines' range. Unfortunately, that idea failed miserably. That's because when he approached the top of that space, more vines came out of it and attacked him. Different from the last guy, this one didn't react fast enough and was soon sucked dry by the vines in the ceiling.

”Seems like that flying past them is also of the question. The vines above are covering any possible gaps now.”

It was then that Ruik had an idea and sent Krune and his group a Divine Sense Message.

”Hey, what about Ao's skill? Wouldn't it be perfect?”

Krune was the only one who understood what Ruik was talking about.

”Yes! Ao's Vacuum Blade!”

Ruik and Krune noticed Feifei, Tiane, Dilo, and Xankruan's puzzled faces and then explained.

Krune then pondered a bit and said.

”Still, at my level at the moment, I think I can use it to make a tunnel void of any air.”

Krune then accessed his memory and soon found the skill. Back then, Krune could already use it to a certain degree, so now it would be a lot easier. That skill was, after all, made for low-level cultivators and demon beasts to use.

Krune didn't have a sword to use like Ao. However, he could still create something similar with his Spiritual Energy Manipulation. It wouldn't compare with the real thing, but it was more than enough for what he wanted to do.

Krune then made a small modification so that instead of clearing the air around him, it would create a long void tunnel. The vines soon noticed the difference in the air around them and started to attack in all directions. Still, there was nothing for them there.

When the airflow returned to normal, the vines calmed down again. Still, Krune's void tunnel was there, without any air inside. It's just that it couldn't be seen since there was nothing inside. Ruik then put a little of spiritual energy inside a pebble he found on the ground and threw it through the tunnel.

Sure enough, the pebble passed by the tunnel in a flash, but since there was no air, no vibrations were created. The pebble landed on the wall on the other side, and nothing happened to it. Just to make sure, Ruik also threw another pebble. This time, he didn't use the Void Tunnel, though. As expected, the vines immediately attacked and destroyed that pebble.

That was the proof that they needed, the vines really are reacting to the ground and air's vibrations. The other cultivators and demon beasts also saw that, and their eyes lit up. But there was one problem, what if someone tries to alert the vines while someone is passing through?
