Chapter 839: A Strange Floragrim (1/2)

An impatient look appeared in Mu Biqiong’s eyes as she asked, “Do you not speak our language?”

A dangerous aura gradually wreathed her as the killing intent in her eyes grew stronger and stronger.

At this moment, the Floragrim seemed to finally notice her. He tore his gaze from the tree branches to look at her with a calm expression. Then, in fluent human language, he answered, “I speak it.”

“Good,” Mu Biqiong said, her eyes ice-cold. “I’ll say it one more time: please leave now!”

Jiang Feng from the Bliss Mountain Sect had urged her to stay with Nie Tian and try not to anger him before she had entered the Shatter Battlefield.

She knew perfectly well that her sect was apprehensive about Nie Tian’s identity as a Son of the Stars.

Therefore, she hadn’t really taken Jiang Feng’s words to heart. However, later in the Silver Beetle nest, the mother beetle had snuck up on her when she had been paralyzed by her sharp screeches. It was Nie Tian who had saved her.

She knew that she would have survived even if Nie Tian hadn’t helped her, but she would have sustained injuries.

Furthermore, the enormous vines in the Realm of Shattered Earth had allowed her to achieve a breakthrough in her cultivation.

She had a feeling that if she could enter the Realm of Shattered Earth again, she would most likely continue to benefit from those huge vines.

Nie Tian was the only one who could take her there.

Therefore, she had stepped up and stopped the people who practiced wood power as soon as they had approached him with evil intentions.

The Floragrim noticed the unpleasant look on her face. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “I mean no harm. My name is Fata. The tree branches your friend used to build this spell formation seem to have close connections with my kind. I believe those patterns within the power ward are from a tree of life, which we deem as our guardian.”

Mu Biqiong let out a cold harrumph. “You said you mean no harm, but you’re here to steal those tree branches, aren’t you?”

With a faint smile, Fata said, “You’ve misunderstood my intentions. The fact that he was able to obtain and use those tree branches to establish spell formations means that he also has close connections to my kind. So I won’t try to take those tree branches from him.

“I just want to observe and brand those patterns in the depths of my mind.

“I believe I’ll be able to benefit from them when I upgrade my bloodline in the future.”

Mu Biqiong was surprised. “You’re really just going to observe?”

Fata nodded. “That’s right. Just observe. I promise that I won’t try to harm him. Besides, the spell formation those tree branches have formed contains unlimited power. Even if I wanted to harm him, I doubt that I’d be able to break through that ward. I’ll even stop others from harming him as long as I’m here.”

Both Mu Biqiong and Yin Yanan were unable to make heads or tails of Fata’s words, and found his attitude baffling.

Mu Biqiong shot Yin Yanan a sideways glance, as if to ask for her opinion on this matter. Yin Yanan also had a confused look on her face. She pondered briefly, then said, “Alright then. Let him be if he just wants to observe. If others come at Nie Tian with evil intentions, then we can have him cash his promise and expel them in our stead.”

Mu Biqiong nodded and said to Fata, “I hope you meant what you just said.”

“Don’t worry,” Fata said without any hesitation. “If people dare to make a move against him, I’ll drive them away immediately.”

Afterwards, Fata stood in silence in front of Nie Tian’s Wood Thriving Formation, his eyes fixed on the mysterious patterns within the green power ward, as if he was deriving enlightenment from them using the Floragrim’s unique bloodline talents.

Looks of joy would flash across his eyes from time to time.

Mu Biqiong and Yin Yanan had witnessed the Wood Thriving Formation’s formidable power before, and thus assumed that even if Fata intended to make a move against Nie Tian, he probably wouldn’t be able to shatter that ward within a short time.

The two of them stayed briefly before flying back to their own Fortune Wells. However, they would still check on Fata every once in a while.

Gradually, more Fortune Wells started to spew various kinds of energy of heaven and earth, including lightning, flames, golden light, and even flesh power.

However, Mu Biqiong’s and Yin Yanan’s Fortune Wells didn’t work any wonders.

Chai Longge and Chai Fengwu also grew more and more anxious as they checked their own Fortune Wells from time to time.

Their Fortune Wells also remained dormant.

After some time, Mu Biqiong’s eyes suddenly lit up.

She sensed that a nearby Fortune Well had started spewing wood power essence.

After a brief moment of hesitation, she channeled power from the demonic plant’s strength inside of her, and rose into the air like a leaf.

Generally speaking, only after entering the Profound realm would a Qi warrior gain the ability to infuse themselves with spiritual power and travel through the air.

Clearly, this rule didn’t apply to her.

“There’s a Fortune Well over there that suits my needs and yours,” she said to Fata.

Fata was a Floragrim. All Floragrims practiced wood power bloodline magics, and thrived on pure and rich wood power. Therefore, she assumed that he should shift his focus.
