Chapter 124 - Like Returning To Mothers Embrace (1/2)
Zhang Che hadn’t realized how abnormal his thoughts were.
Everything that had happened on the island was outrageous to such a degree; anyone with average intelligence who witnessed it would feel that something was amiss, and might even feel their blood run cold, their hair standing on end.
Even so, the current Zhang Che wasn’t thinking straight. All he had in mind was to snatch the bewitching flower on the island, wanting to see if it could be used to cure his mother’s illness.
Before the Purple Jade Condor reached the island, every single ugly fish creature was annihilated by the severely injured flying tiger. After which, this walking corpse-like exotic beast turned into a diligent gardener once more, grabbing and throwing the corpses of the ugly fish creature towards the center of the island.
It was likely that the flying tiger realized its days were numbered, or that the digestive powers of the huge bewitching flower’s vines had grown stronger. This time, the flying tiger didn’t dissect the corpses of the ugly fish creatures. Instead, it directly threw them close to the center of the island.
Following the tossing of the corpses, countless vines shot out, extending like tentacles and coiled around the corpse of an ugly fish creature, withdrawing back to the rest of the flower and quickly devouring it.
At this moment, it looked as if the bewitching flower had turned into a terrifying tentacle monster, sending a chill down any witnesses’ spine.
However, Zhang Che didn’t sense anything amiss. At this moment, his pupils were completely red, having only a single thought in his head, and that was to get his hands on the flower!
Near the end of its life, the flying tiger burst into motion. Its figure flashed about, rushing to throw all the corpses to the center before the Purple Jade Condor reached the island.
After completing the task, the flying tiger actually threw its body into the bunch of vines, allowing the countless glistening emerald green leaves to completely envelope it.
Zhang Che, finally stepping foot on this island, treated as if none of that strange scene had happened, walking further into the center of the island, his eyes confused.
All of the vines were cheering. The hundred corpses of the ugly fish creatures allowed them to have a full meal, the leaves on the vines looked full of life, like a crystal clear jade, emanating a faint layer of glow.
“Haha, this flower is finally mine!” Zhang Che mumbled unconsciously as he got closer and closer to the center of the island.
Suddenly, the petals on the huge bewitching flower on top of the vines, which had grown to over two meters in length, moved by themselves without any wind. They resembled a gentle female dancer, dancing a soft dance, giving off a sense of mysterious beauty.
A stronger mysterious wave than before spread out from the flower, causing the nearing Zhang Che to thoroughly lose his awareness.
The Purple Jade Condor hovering in the sky suddenly let out a sharp cry, but was directly recalled back into the spiritual sea by Zhang Che with a wave of his hand.
The Swamp Crocodile King armor enveloping him was in his way as well, and turned into a streak of light, returning to the middle of his brow.
Facing the beckoning of the huge flower, Zhang Che even stripped off his combat suit. When he finally came in front of the flower, he was no longer wearing a single piece of clothing, standing fully naked before it, like just being born into the world from his mother’s womb.
Come… come, child. Return to your mother’s embrace…
In his muddled state, it seemed as if a comforting call found its way directly into Zhang Che’s soul, and he continued taking steps forward. He stepped past the lush vines, walking straight up to the fully bloomed bewitching flower.
Zhang Che’s gaze was completely blurred. He stopped in front of the huge flower, looking at the petals with a devout expression. The pattern on each of the petals formed a smiling face. Zhang Che shut his eyes lightly, his expression calm as water as he raised his left foot lightly, stepping on the fragile-looking, yet incomparably tenacious petal.
The heart of the flower was fully blooming for Zhang Che, opening the way for him to walk into. After that, he slowly squatted down and curled himself into a ball like an unborn baby, the corners of his lips raised gently into an infatuated smile.
