Chapter 523
523 In front of the night tower, the man-eating giant flower
After seeing the huge flower field, everyone was shocked.
Although there were all kinds of wild buildings in the world of loucheng, they were only for the entire world. They were scattered across the vast continent, so how could ordinary cultivators have the opportunity to see them one by one?
The design of this giant wild flower building was strange, and the visual impact it gave was too strong. It was no wonder that everyone lost their composure after seeing it!
After sighing in shock, everyone began to build a fire pit in preparation for the coming night.
They must not explore the wild building at night. Otherwise, the danger would increase countless times out of thin air. Therefore, Tang Zhen and the others would spend the night in front of the wild building and wait until tomorrow to enter it.
Although Yue qianhua’s heart was burning with anxiety, she could only endure it. From time to time, she would look at the wild tower not far away with a faint trace of worry in her eyes.
The effect of the runes drawn last night was obvious. Tang Zhen casually waved his hand and once again circled an area of several hundred square meters.
A faint golden light like the sunset immediately filled the location of the runes. It was as if a huge pillar of light rose from the ground and stopped abruptly a dozen meters above the ground.
At this moment, night had already descended. The endless black curtain had once again covered the surrounding environment. Other than the area where Tang Zhen and the others were located, the rest of the place seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
The area they were in was like a small island, floating in the endless darkness.
After last night’s encounter, everyone had a better understanding of the horror of the nightmare forest, so they all tried to avoid the bright edge.
Tang Zhen took out a large piece of fresh meat from his storage s.p.a.ce. Fatty once again held the seasoning and concentrated on cooking the roast meat.
The elven cultivators gathered together and ate the wild fruits they had picked on the way. Then, they roasted the hard fruits that their guide had picked.
It didn’t take long for these hard fruits to explode one by one, and a sweet smell of plants drifted out.
The elven cultivators were different from the Holy Dragon City cultivators, who had a sumptuous meal. They preferred a light diet and did not even glance at the packets of red braised meat that the Holy Dragon City cultivators ate.
The guide pulled out the hard fruits from the fire. After which, he dragged them with leaves and brought them to Tang Zhen.
“My Lord, please try this fruit. It’s a special product of the nightmare forest, and you can’t find it anywhere else!”
After Tang Zhen softly gave his thanks, he extended his hand and picked up the fruit with the hot outer sh.e.l.l. He placed it in front of his eyes and observed it.
As for the scorching hot outer sh.e.l.l, Tang Zhen simply did not feel any discomfort.
After the fruit was burned by the charcoal, it exploded like popcorn, revealing the purplish-red flesh inside, which gave off a faint sweet fragrance.
He broke off a piece and tasted it. It was as sweet and sticky as milk, but it was not particularly soft. The taste was very unique.
Tang Zhen ate more than half of it in one go. Only then did he take out his water bottle and drink a mouthful of water. After that, he asked for an unroasted fruit from the guide and prepared to bring it back to the original world for his younger sister to try.
That girl also knew about his matters. The last time they met, she was still clamoring about coming to the world of loucheng.
After everything had settled down, he could let his sister, Xu Feng, and the others use soul teleportation to travel to this world of loucheng.
After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Tang Zhen sat on the chair and took out a book to continue pondering. He seemed to be very relaxed.
With Tang Zhen’s current cultivation, there were very few existences that could threaten him. After all, King level experts were not cabbages that could be found everywhere!
After watching for about two hours, Tang Zhen got up and stretched his muscles. At the same time, he activated the [ dark world stealth ] and slowly walked into the darkness.
He was prepared to take advantage of the cover of the black curtain to see what was so special about the giant flower wild building.
Just like last night, there were still countless different kinds of spirits wandering outside the bright area, looking at the people near the fire with greedy eyes.
Because of the rune and the fire, the spirits didn’t dare to take a step forward.
Tang Zhen glanced at these spirit bodies. Just as he was about to walk towards the wild building, his gaze unintentionally landed on a certain spot. After which, he could not help but let out a soft “huh.”
It turned out that there were more than a dozen blurry spirit bodies among the spirit bodies, which looked very similar to the elf cultivators.
At this moment, their eyes were wandering around in a daze. Compared to the other spirit bodies, they were obviously a little more foolish.
Tang Zhen had a contemplative look on his face when he saw this. He turned around and glanced at Yue qianhua, who was still in a daze. Then, he walked towards the giant flower House in front of him.
From The Dark World’s point of view, this giant flower House emitted a faint fluorescent light, surrounded by colorful light spots, quite similar to the mother tree in the Holy Dragon City.
Perhaps it was because both of them were plant-type existences that Yue qianhua’s father was so determined to get his hands on it!
It was late at night, and the giant flower had fallen into a state of dormancy. The swaying vines that had been swaying when they first saw it were now lazily drooping to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that there were many white bones and remains hidden in the middle of these vines, layer after layer piled together.
Recalling the sweet fragrance that had always pervaded the valley, Tang Zhen guessed that this was a type of carnivorous plant. It relied on that sweet fragrance to attract living creatures to come close. After which, it would use these vines to capture its prey and use them as nourishment.
In order to verify his guess, Tang Zhen reached out his hand from The Dark World and touched the soft rattan.
“Swish!”
The instant Tang Zhen came into contact with the rattan, the thick vines in the surroundings attacked him with lightning speed and coiled around his position with great force.
If Tang Zhen wasn’t in the dark World, he would have been bound by the vines and then injured by the black spikes that shot out of the vines.
Looking at the mucus dripping from the spikes, it was obvious that they had a corrosive paralyzing effect.
Perhaps the name giant wild flower Tower was not appropriate, but it should be called man-eating wild flower Tower!
Although the vine in front of him was strange and difficult to deal with, it was unable to pose any threat to Tang Zhen. Therefore, he did not take it to heart.
Stepping on the air, Tang Zhen began to slowly walk towards the top of the man-eating flower. At the same time, he continued to observe the details of the man-eating flower.
Near the root of the man-eating flower, Tang Zhen found some small holes about half a meter in size on the stem. A strange insect about ten meters long was hiding in the holes on the stem.
On the flower branch not far away, there were a few things that looked like giant beehives hanging. After scanning with his mental energy, Tang Zhen saw many poisonous bee monsters with shiny sh.e.l.ls.
Among these monsters, the highest level was only Level 5. Their only advantage was their large numbers. However, as long as they were careful, there should not be any problems.
Tang Zhen gave up on the idea of killing these insects because he was not confident that he could kill them in one blow.
If these bugs could ignore the darkness of the night and target the Holy Dragon City cultivators when they were exposed, the Holy Dragon City cultivators who could not see in the darkness would suffer a great loss.
After pa.s.sing by these monsters, Tang Zhen arrived at the huge flower that was emitting a rich fragrance. He walked to the center of the flower where the pistil was.
A beautiful face appeared in front of Tang Zhen under the bright fluorescent light. At this moment, both of her eyes were tightly shut as though she had fallen into a deep sleep.
Under the contrast of the seven-colored fluorescent light, this beautiful face was like a fairy in a dream, intoxicating people with a single glance.
Unfortunately, while the face was beautiful, it also exuded a demonic aura. Under the head was not a human body, but a long vine that was coiled together like a snake.
Tang Zhen looked at it for a while before reaching out and touching the area between the eyebrows of the beautiful woman’s head.
The Sleeping Beauty’s head suddenly opened its eyes and looked around. The coiled vine suddenly sprung up and sent the Beauty’s head seven or eight meters into the air, then continued to spiral.
From within the shimmering pistil, countless octopus-like tentacles suddenly popped out and waved around.
The beautiful woman’s long hair fluttered in the wind, shuttling back and forth between the tentacles. Her eyes flashed with a green light, like a ghost.
The combination of extreme beauty and fatal danger caused an extremely strange feeling to arise in Tang Zhen’s heart.
