127 Relocating (1/2)
What lay under the thick bushes of vegetation and colourful flowers were in fact heaps of skeletons!
Considering that this patch of spiritual plants was just seeded not too long ago, the destruction it caused was unfathomable!
”Could it be due to this reason that caused Flower Fox Ferret to catch way fewer prey than before...that led to deaths of so many nestlings?”
Fang Yuan looked over the entire patch of vegetation and an idea popped up.
”Caw caw!”
At this instant, a small grey sparrow appeared in the sky and circled above the vegetation. It was obviously attracted to the strong scent of the nectar, but it was also wary and hence undecided on its next move.
”It's you then!”
A spark glistened in Fang Yuan's eyes as he picked up a small rock and flicked it at the sparrow.
”Shoo!”
As the rock shot through the eye, the sound of the rock breaking through the air resistance at blistering speed was deafening. There was flash of spark and the sparrow let out a painful shriek before falling to the ground.
With Fang Yuan's current powers, the rock he flicked was almost as powerful as an arrow released from a bow, killing the sparrow instantly.
”Shoo!”
As the sparrow dropped towards the ground, the sickle grass on the ground reacted instantly. A large and thick blade of grass with a metal gloss on it swiped through the swallow, slicing it into two as blood splattered on the ground.
”The speed and power of it...”
Fang Yuan widened his eyes in shock and thought, ”I'm afraid this might even be as powerful as the swordsmen from the desert!”
”Snap!”
A more shocking incident happened in front of Fang Yuan again.
The plants on the ground violently scrambled together. The jagged edges of the leaves and flowers were like razor-sharp teeth and half of the sparrow's carcass was swallowed into the mess of plants.
”Crunch crunch!”
By the side, countless rays of light bounced off the smooth and sharp blades of the grass. What was left of the sparrow's corpse turned into a pool of blood spread evenly over a nearby patch of sickle grass.
”Is it normal for Sickle Grass and Serrated Flowers to be this brutal?”
Fang Yuan widened his eyes as he thought, ”They must have evolved! Furthermore...”
He spotted a few pieces of dried and decomposing flowers and leaves by the side of the patch of Sickle Grass. He thought in awe, ”The newly grown spiritual plants even wiped out the common plants that were here before them and are using them as fertilisers now....”
This patch of spiritual plants had blood on their hands since their birth!
”But, I think that it is even better if these two types of spiritual plants are more aggressive and offensive. What I do not know is whether the old way of dealing with normal Sickle Grass and Serrated Flower will work on these evolved spiritual plants.”
Fang Yuan thought and jumped off the tree branch.
”Chomp chomp!”
Just as both his feet met the ground, the ground exploded open and a piece of thick and thorny root spiralled towards him with amazing speed!
”Even the roots of the plants are also weapons, this is a new capability for these two spiritual plants.”
Fang Yuan grabbed onto the root with his right hand and instantly felt the pain shoot through his palm. He winced slightly and thought, ”If a common martial artist were to grab this like I did, his skin would be penetrated, and his blood would be sucked through the roots...the thorns on this root might even be poisoned...”
Of course, he was not any common martial artist.
As a Wu Zong who has completely mastered the Eagle Claw Iron Skin Technique, his body was incredibly tough.
”Get out!”
Fang Yuan broke out in a loud laughter and tapped the ground lightly with his toes. He immediately flew backwards in a flash.
”Pooh!”
From the bed of flowers, there was a violent disturbance as Fang Yuan plucked out a Serrated Flower with its roots intact from the soil. It let out a beastly roar as Fang Yuan did so.
Furthermore, the loose strands of roots brought along a few shards of Sickle Grass as the plants flew towards Fang Yuan.
”Crunch crunch!”
Several black rays of light bounced off the razor-sharp blades of grass.
The blades of Sickle Grass spun rapidly in mid-air like cutter-wheels as they flew towards Fang Yuan.
”Hmm?”
Fang Yuan's palm changed into a colour like that of enhanced steel. He flicked out a few rocks rapidly. Each rock avoided the sharp ends of the grass blades and accurately hit them in the centre.
”Pah pah!”
Several blades of Sickle Grass were cut through the centre by the rocks flicked out by Fang Yuan. Green liquid flowed out of the cuts made by Fang Yuan's rocks.
”Goo jee!”
Sensing the immense threat, the Serrated Flower opened and closed its large mouth and squirted out a jet of nectar. The scent of the nectar was incredibly alluring and confounding.
Fang Yuan dodged the nectar and it landed on the ground. The nectar instantly caused several small holes to open up in the ground and thick white smoke billowed from them.
”What a surprising move!”
Slightly surprised, Fang Yuan grabbed onto the roots and brought the Serrated Flower out of the plot of vegetation onto a piece of green rock.
”Goo jee goo jee!”
It was only here, did the spiritual plant finally quietened and calmed down. However, the roots continued to struggle and crawl about, as though it was looking for soil.
”This is...so great!”
This sight made it difficult for Fang Yuan to even mask his delight.
In the past moment, movement and change was so rapid and sudden. There was no difference between this and a duel between two martial artists, especially with the lethal instincts of the two evolved spiritual plants.
”These two are only the spiritual plants at the outermost of the plot of land...”
