688 Beast King Hun (1/2)
The third stage of the task was far more difficult than the other two stages combined. On the Beast King Island, all the creatures were Beast Kings. One could imagine what the final result would be when the Beast Kings appeared before them in packs.
A single Beast King was a huge threat to Mo Wen, let alone a pack of Beast Kings. If he was surrounded by a pack of Beast Kings, he would almost certainly perish.
As long as the Seven Human Warriors could survive in this space for a day, they would complete the task. However, surviving a day in such an environment was easier said than done. Even Mo Wen was not confident.
Fortunately, this task was not completely hopeless. All the human ancient martial art practitioners that died on this Beast King Island would not truly die. They would be revived in the space outside. However, once they died on this island, they would be withdrawn from the task.
Success in the third stage did not require all the human ancient martial art practitioners to survive. As long as one person stayed on the island for a whole day, the task would be considered completed. This made Mo Wen breathe a slight sigh of relief. If all of them had to survive on the island for a day, it would be impossible for people like Bu Xingyi to pull it off.
Knowing that dying on this island was not real death, Mo Wen felt his emotions gradually calm down. Since the possibility of danger had been eliminated, all he needed to do was to work hard to stay alive. As long as he tried his best, his conscience was clear.
Mo Wen gradually awakened from his declarative memory. He glanced around at his surroundings. Everywhere looked vibrant. On the surface, there did not seem to be any danger.
Just by staying alive on this island for a full day, they could complete the task. Mo Wen immediately lost all notion of stirring up trouble. He was even willing to find a quiet, safe corner to meditate for a day while waiting for the task to end. However, this was Beast King Island. There were Beast Kings everywhere. Everywhere he went, he felt unsafe.
Mo Wen dropped back down to the ground. He looked at his surroundings, preparing to find a corner to hide away. However, the idea had just surfaced in his mind when he suddenly felt a sense of danger emerge without warning.
Mo Wen was shocked. Without even thinking, he activated the Glory of Wind. A light image flashed, and he disappeared from his original spot.
Plant roots had quietly appeared without sound or presence at the spot that Mo Wen had just been standing at. They swept across, catching thin air.
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
A bizarre voice suddenly sounded from the surrounding shrubbery.
Ten meters away, Mo Wen's silhouette appeared. He narrowed his gaze and furiously looked towards the spot.
Tens of thousands of green plant vines emerged from the shrubbery. In the blink of an eye, vines covered the ground and the sky. The vines entangled themselves together like a birds nest. They covered a radius of a hundred meters, trapping Mo Wen inside.
”A plant type monstrous beast!” Mo Wen was astonished. These vines were a very rare plant type monstrous beast. Plant type monstrous beasts themselves were also unusual. They were very particular about their habitats, and tiny plant type monstrous beasts were not able to survive as long as animal type monstrous beasts could.
Mo Wen had not expected that once he came to the Beast King Island, he would encounter a plant type monstrous beast.
The aura emanated by the vines was rather astonishing. Its power was comparable to a Beast King.
”It's been a long time since I have eaten human flesh. I am recalling it now. The taste is unforgettable.”
A thick vine slowly rose from the ground. The vine was as thick as a bowl and resembled a small tree branch. It had a wrinkled human face on it and looked very bizarre.
The face on the vines looked hungrily at Mo Wen. It was as though it could not wait to immediately swallow him whole.
”You want to eat me?” Mo Wen asked.
”Of course, I want to eat you. Haha, how many years has it been since I last saw a human? I thought that I would never get to taste such delicious flesh again in this lifetime.” The Vine Beast King laughed out loud. It seemed that encountering Mo Wen was like finding an absolute treasure.
Mo Wen smiled slightly. ”You want to eat me, but I will not let you do so.” A golden light suddenly appeared on his body. The next moment, he was like a golden sun, shining brightly. A scorching hot aura swiftly expanded outwards, with him as the center.
The vines all around him retracted slightly, seemingly cautious of the flames on Mo Wen's body.
Fire attribute and lightning attribute powers were the bane of plant type monstrous beasts' lives.
”Such powerful flame power. It is actually not weaker than the southern island fire attribute Beast Kings. Human, your cultivation is not high, yet you have mastered such high-ranked fire attribute power. That is somewhat strange.”
The face carved on the vines twisted slightly. A pair of inky green eyeballs stared at Mo Wen. The eyes bore a serious look.
The plant type monstrous beast was indeed most afraid of the power of the fire attribute. When they encountered fire attribute Beast Kings, plant type monstrous beasts would normally avoid them as much as they could. However, this human ancient martial art practitioner's cultivation was too low. He should not need to be feared.
”You can't stop me,” Mo Wen said, then his silhouette disappeared from its original spot.
He did not want to battle against such a Beast King. The entire island was them, and a battle could well draw the attention of other Beast Kings. That could be catastrophic for Mo Wen.
”Trying to escape? Dream on.”
The Vine Beast King had finally come across a delicious human: how could it possibly let him go right now? Beams of green light immediately emanated from the vines. They interweaved together and formed a huge green light shroud, sealing off the entire surrounding space.
