Chapter 214

Everyone was astonished to see the Man-eating Flower Beast coming toward them rapidly. Then, they all charged forward with their weapons, except that Phoenix Five and Long Yue still stayed next to Duanmu Xi and Situ Kong.

The Man-eating Flower Beast had no eyes. It perceived the enemies by smelling and touching.

Once it felt someone come near, the Man-eating Flower Beast would start to extend its petals. Within a few breaths, the Man-eating Flower Beast’s petals became several times bigger. The huge Man-eating Flower Beast was terrifyingly big.

The Man-eating Flower Beast kept shaking its big petals as if dancing.

Now, this Man-eating Flower Beast looked like an exotic dancer. As it danced, everyone seemed to smell a weird fragrance, which made them captivated.

Smelling the fascinating fragrance from the distance, Situ Kong was slightly shocked and stared at the others’ misty eyes, shouting anxiously, “Everybody, be careful. The smell is poisonous.”

Upon hearing Situ Kong’s voice, the others immediately came to their senses. They all held their breath and covered their mouths and noses with sleeves.

Currently, everyone looked at the Man-eating Flower Beast differently. They thought that even if this beast would eat them and release poison, they didn’t expect that the poison released by the Man-eating Flower Beast should be psychedelic.

The weird fragrance released by the Man-eating Flower Beast could cause hallucinations. Smelling the fragrance, one would want more, subconsciously approach it and become its food. Undoubtedly, the Man-eating Flower Beast was really horrendous.

Everyone was frightened. Sure enough, all the beings that could survive in the jungle couldn’t be belittled.

“Eat the Alexipharmic Pill now,” Situ Kong shouted anxiously again. Given their current cultivation, they couldn’t resist the weird fragrance released by the Man-eating Flower Beast.

They immediately stopped and took out the Alexipharmic Pills given by Situ Kong.

Having taken the pills, they were no longer captivated by the fragrance and rushed to the Man-eating Flower Beast with weapons.

It seemed to have known that the poisonous air released by itself couldn’t work anymore. So, the Man-eating Flower Beast stopped waving its huge petals. Instead, it curled all its petals forward and wrapped its pistil up to make a bud.

While everyone was confused about what it wanted to do, the huge petals popped abruptly like an inflated balloon. It opened its mouth and blew out a rush of potent air.

They were caught off guard by the reverse airflow that suddenly arrived and felt greatly sucked by the Man-eating Flower Beast. They were made to fly to the Man-eating Flower Beast uncontrollably.

Even Situ Kong, Phoenix Five and Long Yue behind were sucked away by the Man-eating Flower Beast.

Seeing the scene, Duanmu Xi immediately dragged Situ Kong. Situ Kong pulled Long Yue while Long Yue dragged Phoenix Five. They were holding each other one by one.

Duanmu Xi didn’t feel sucked at all. Maybe it was because she had eaten the wind spiritual fruit or she was riding Zimei.

Situ Kong slightly covered her body and stared at several peers going near the Man-eating Flower Beast in shock, “Don’t be sucked by it.”

Her words reminded them of the bleached snake bones. Their blood froze again.

Yu Ying grabbed Phoenix Fourteen tightly and stabbed the sword into the ground. The others also stabbed their weapons into the ground. For the moment, there was a clang.

Duanmu Xi kept dragging Situ Kong to stop him from being sucked away and said anxiously, “We must fight back. Chief Master, do you have any solution? Or does the Man-eating Flower Beast have any weakness?”

The weapons could only keep them from being sucked away for a while. It couldn’t help them solve the crisis at all.

Situ Kong frowned. This was the first time he had seen the Man-eating Flower Beast. He was not clear about its weakness.

Duanmu Xi didn’t hear Situ Kong’s answer. She realized that he had no way out this time.

Duanmu Xi looked at the several people who could hardly hang on and felt quite worried.

The Man-eating Flower Beast was obviously losing its patience. It opened its mouth again and plumped up its huge petals. The reverse airflow turned into a big vortex.

Instantly, everyone was sucked by the Man-eating Flower Beast a few times more heavily.

“Argh…” The weapons couldn’t resist the strong sucking power. Everyone couldn’t help flying to the Man-eating Flower Beast again.

Duanmu Xi couldn’t stop Situ Kong and the others anymore. In order not to implicate her, Situ Kong prised her hands away.

“Chief Master.” Duanmu Xi was astounded. Staring at the others sucked away, she was burning with anxiety.

As they approached the Man-eating Flower Beast, Yu Ying glimpsed Phoenix Fourteen next to him. He was fine with dying but he didn’t want anything to happen to her.

He did his best to grab the branch of a tree aside and seize Phoenix Fourteen with the other hand.

Phoenix Fourteen shouted at Phoenix Thirteen behind, “Hurry. Grab my arm.”

Phoenix Thirteen stared at Phoenix Fourteen and then glimpsed Long Ri aside. Without thinking much, she seized Long Ri’s hand and grabbed Phoenix Fourteen’s foot.

Long Ri took a glance at Phoenix Thirteen who grabbed him and then turned to glimpse the Man-eating Flower Beast not far away. Just as well she dragged him in the nick of time. Otherwise, he would have been dead now.

With two more people’s weight on him, Yu Ying would almost loosen the grip. He closed his eyes and operated his mysterious Qi to clutch the branch tightly again. He couldn’t let go. If he did, four people would be dead.

Faced with the more and more desperate situation, Duanmu Xi couldn’t stay aside anymore. She directly leaped off Zimei and flew to the air, “Everybody must hang on.”

Duanmu Xi glimpsed the Man-eating Flower Beast that opened its mouth and knitted her eyebrows. She had no other choice but to try it with the fire spiritual magic.

Duanmu Xi took out the Colorful Spiritual Wand from her arms and swung it at the Man-eating Flower Beast.

“Fiery Storm.” With a shout, Duanmu Xi cast a string of violent fire at the Man-eating Flower Beast.

What happened next struck Duanmu Xi dumb, because the violent fire was sucked by the Man-eating Flower Beast. Yet, the Man-eating Flower Beast wasn’t hurt at all.

While Duanmu Xi hadn’t come to her senses, the Man-eating Flower Beast spat out a mouthful of fire at Duanmu Xi.

The situation was bad. Duanmu Xi shouted without thinking, “Water Shield.”

Duanmu Xi immediately put a light blue shield in front of herself. The fire was put out upon meeting the Water Shield.

Due to Duanmu Xi’s attack, the Man-eating Flower Beast loosened its sucking ability, which made Yu Ying and the others gain a temporary respite.

Water could restrict fire. The Man-eating Flower Beast was a wood spiritual beast. Metal restricted wood. The thunder spiritual magic belonged to metal. So, Duanmu Xi decided to attack the Man-eating Flower Beast with the thunder spiritual magic.

To eliminate the Man-eating Flower Beast, Duanmu Xi directly cast the highest-level thunder spiritual magic.

Duanmu Xi shouted, “Heavenly Force of Thunder.” Instantly, thunder rumbled. A few seconds later, countless thunderbolts were struck at the Man-eating Flower Beast.

The Man-eating Flower Beast seemed to have perceived danger. So, it immediately stopped sucking and turned around, trying to escape. Nevertheless, it still couldn’t avoid the thunderbolts.

After being struck by the first thunderbolt, the Man-eating Flower Beast directly died. The second thunderbolt just rendered it withered. Then, several more thunderbolts just turned it into ashes.

Seeing the Man-eating Flower Beast come to such a miserable end, everyone stared at Duanmu Xi with admiration.

Her Highness was so powerful!

Her Highness was literally omnipotent!

“Are you OK?” Duanmu Xi asked Long Yue and the others while helping Situ Kong up from the ground.

“I’m fine.” Situ Kong wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve and said with a lingering fear, “That was too close. We must be more careful in the future.”

If a similar thing happened a few more times, he would get killed here.

“Yeah.” Duanmu Xi nodded. The jungle was too dangerous. Especially they knew nothing about here. The unknown was always the most frightening, but they still had to spend seven or eight days in this dreadful place.

…

In Prince Zhan’s mansion in the Baihu Empire.

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Lishang’s pale face and slightly knitted his eyebrows, “What’s wrong?”

Lishang immediately knelt in front of Xuanyuan Mo and gave the latter a kowtow, “Your Highness, I wanna go back to Wannian Snow Mountain and set a cenotaph for Qing.”

Qing was gone, leaving nothing but ashes. He had nothing to do but to set a cenotaph for her.

Xuanyuan Mo stared at Lishang’s painful face, his eyes filled with mixed feelings.

He had nothing to say to Lishang. For years, he didn’t take Lishang as his close friend, but Lishang was still a very important person to him. In the past, for Lishang’s sake, he had let Liqing go despite what she had done. However, she still pushed his buttons again and again. Particularly, she tried to kill Xi again and again. Xi was his bottom line. Whoever hit his bottom line must die.

“Are you blaming me?” His voice was calm. Somehow, Xuanyuan Mo spoke in a relatively softer voice.

Although Xuanyuan Mo was not as cold as before, Lishang couldn’t help shivering. His eyes slightly hung. He said respectfully, “I dare not.”

Hearing Lishang’s answer, Xuanyuan Mo put on a disappointed look, “Your request has been granted. Go back!”

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Lishang gave Xuanyuan Mo another kowtow upon hearing that.

Staring at Lishang kneeling on the ground, Xuanyuan Mo slightly narrowed his eyes, “If you don’t want to come back, just stay in Wannian Snow Mountain!” His voice was still composed.

Lishang jerked up his head and looked at Xuanyuan Mo in disbelief, “You’re expelling me?”

His voice was a bit thrilled and quavery.

Xuanyuan Mo stared at Lishang and said, “No. You can come back anytime if you want.”

Lishang was relieved to hear that. He looked at Xuanyuan Mo and said seriously, “Two days. I’ll be back in two days. I’ll take my leave now.”

Lishang rose and bowed himself out.

Xuanyuan Mo stared at Lishang’s back, his eyes slightly flashing. Lishang must be mad at him!
