Chapter 150 - 150: Origin Of The Blood Vine
"Is this the reason why this is a banned product?" Robert looked at the seeds in his hands and asked curiously.
"That's just one of the reasons." The Overlord turtle looked at Robert and said, "120 Years ago one senior member of the alliance planted this Blood Vine and fed it with blood daily but not many people knew about this. In one of the tribal wars that senior died and the Blood Vine was left unattended. No one knew about this blood vine, not even his close friends so the Blood Vine was left alone and it started to grow on its own."
"It started to suck the blood of nearby creatures madly and increased its growth. Because the location of the Blood vine was relatively hidden no one found this. The Blood vine captured all the surrounding creatures and transformed them into blood bags."
"Blood bags?" Robert swallowed and asked while trembling.
"Yes, Blood Bags. The Blood Vine did not kill the creatures but kept them alive to suck their blood for a long time. It provided them with food and collected their blood for its use every day and the number of blood bags started to increase. Those living creatures who were tied by the Blood Vine were called as Blood slaves as their only job was to provide blood." The overlord Turtle said solemnly.
Robert shivered just thinking about this as he couldn't bring himself to imagine this scene.
"Because of unlimited resources, the growth of Blood Vine improved by leaps and bounds as it reached the final stage of the growth in just five years! Because of the talent restriction, the blood vine was not able to break through and enter the next level."
Hmm, Every special has some sort of lock bounding them which prevents them from advancing to the next level. Robert thought to himself.
"The Blood Vine was unwilling to stop there so it started to brew a horrific plan for its advancement. The Blood Vine started to spread its seeds in the surroundings and became the first: Mother Vine! Many blood vines started to grow in that area as The Mother vine started to capture High-level blood bags." The Overlord Turtle said this as there was a trace of fear on his face.
Robert listened with full attention as he realised that things were getting complicated.
"Many Blood Vine with various cultivation bases started to appear beside her as she finally started to prepare for her advancement. The Mother Vine ordered other blood vines to capture spiritual beasts with high cultivation bases and extract their blood essence, Especially spiritual beasts with special bloodlines. Thus the hunt for the spiritual beasts started as many well-known spiritual beasts disappeared for no reason which attracted the attention of Alliance and Other big tribes."
This alliance is useless, They only act when the situation has reached the worst state.
"Finally the alliance found out about Mother Vine and her vicious plan but it was too late! As Mother Vine finally broke through the racial limit and entered the new phase. After achieving the breakthrough the Mother Vine created her own kingdom- The Kingdom of Blood! Which strikes the terror in the hearts of many spiritual beasts! After establishing the Kingdom the Mother Vine started to hunt other spiritual beasts who have Special bloodline and high-level cultivation."
"Because of this many small and big tribes suffered unrecoverable loss as the big Tribes and alliance finally joined hands to annihilate the Kingdom of Blood by sending their top-level powerhouses. The Kingdom of blood and Mother Vine were not able to defend against these top-level powerhouses and perished."
Robert breathed a sigh of relief! Finally, the legend of Mother Vine ended.
"Or so everyone thought! After five years the Mother Vine returned stronger than before and attacked one of the small tribes and annihilated everyone living inside. This time the alliance became furious as they sent their top-level powerhouses to kill the Mother vine. Mother Vine was killed but she returned one and she was stronger than before."
"The alliance has realised that there is something fishy here as they were not able to kill the Mother Vine-like this. They need to investigate their opponent and find the reason why she can always emerge alive. Finally, after the efforts of countless people, the reason was discovered. After Mother Vine broke through the racial limit she awakened a special Talent: Blood Rebirth! With this talent, she can have a rebirth as long as she has a trace of blood left."
"After knowing the reason the alliance started to counterattack as they found the solution for this situation. They sent the son of Marshal Crocodile to the battlefield. At that time he had a low cultivation base and his only job was to provide support."
"Actually he had a special talent which was very crucial against Mother Vine. He had awakened a special talent which restricts the opponents Blood Talents. In the war he used this talent and blocked the Blood Rebirth talent of the Mother Vine."
"Because of this the mother vine was successfully killed. As a reward the son of the Marshal Crocodile got the title- King of Blood! In that ear he earned a name for himself and became famous even though he was only providing support in the war." The Overlord Turtle said in admiration. To him the king of Blood is a junior but his talents are something very unique which made him stand high in the alliance.
Robert stood there in daze as he felt that he had received too much information today. Kingdom of blood… Mother Vine… Racial Limits… King of Blood…
He didn't expect that so many exciting events would happen in this Spirit beasts Continent. And this is just one recent event. There may be many awesome events that should have occurred in the past.
"After that war as a spoil the King of Blood collected the seeds of the Blood Vine and brought it with him. Since then the Blood Vine has become a restricted product that can't be circulated outside easily." The Overlord Turtle concluded the ending of the war.
"That's why I was surprised to see so many seeds of Blood Vine in your hands." The Overlord Turtle said.
"So what should I do with this? I don't want to invite trouble!" Robert said anxiously. In his hands are banned. If the alliance news about this then he will be in huge trouble.
Now he wanted to beat the Little Marshal regardless of the consequences. That little shit caused me so much trouble.
"Don't worry, things are not as bad as you think. You can keep the seed's blood Vine as long as you have no intention to grow it. I think no one will trouble you in this regard." The Overlord Turtle said in an easygoing manner.
Growing the Blood Vine without authorisation is a crime but the same couldn't be said for keeping it. And he feels that it's not a big deal as long as Robert does not grow this blood Vine.
"I can only do that." Robert said helplessly as he already has this hot potato in his hands and he can't throw or eat it. The only option he has is to store it properly.
'No way! I can't keep this stuff! I will find the little Crocodile and give it to him. This seeds are like time bomb if I can't get rid of it in time then I would not able to sleep in peace.' Robert thought to himself as he decided to return this seed to its original owner.
"Alright! I have talked too much today so I will leave." The Overlord Turtle yawned and retreated as he was going to the Trial ground as it's his temporary house.
Robert said nothing as he returned to the cave with a bag of hot potato in his hands. After entering the cave he stored the seeds properly so that no one could find it.
"In a few days I will go to the White Blazing Lake and return these seeds to the Little Crocodile. Till then I will not let anyone touch these seeds especially White Fang, Menna and Snowball. Nothing good will come out from these troublemakers." Robert made a decision for himself as he decided to keep an eye on these three for a few days.
"Ah! I am hungry so let's make something to fill my empty stomach!" Robert's stomach groaned due to hunger so he decided to cook something for himself and left the cave and headed toward the kitchen.
