Chapter 60: Ferocious Plants Class (2/2)
”A-thousand-year-old Flame Fruit?”
Hearing her words, Long Qingxie raised his eyebrows, his black eyes staring at her, ”Tiny, I didn't expect that you know about so many things.”
He knew that was a Flame Fruit only because he had once read about it in an ancient book.
As regards the age of this Flame Fruit, even he couldn't tell, but she knew that Flame Fruit was a thousand years old just by glancing at it.
The little woman just never ceased to surprise him.
Sometimes he even had a sudden urge to crack open her little head to see what was inside.
”You know a lot of things as well, don't you?” Yun Wu turned her head aside and glimpsed at him.
She knew about it because she had the Soaring Dragon Scroll, but this man was different. It seemed as if he knew everything, and there was always an air of mystery about him.
Long Qingxie curved his lips in a wicked smile and ogled her, ”As a man who is worthy of you, I have to.”
Yun Wu rolled her eyes at him.
All of a sudden.
Yun Wu felt a sting in her wrist. Her bracelet gave off a colorful light, and then before Yun Wu and Long Qingxie could react, a small wooden box automatically came out of her Storage Space.
And with that the small wooden box opened. A shriveled small red bean whooshed towards the Flame Fruit down below on the lake.
”What's happening?”
Yun Wu looked at the empty small wooden box and then glanced at that small red bean shooting towards the Flame Fruit, feeling confused.
Wasn't that shriveled small red bean the very one that she had stolen from the royal treasure house?
Long San said that it was a flower seed.
And she had placed it at the bottom of her Storage Space. But now this scene was so strange. What happened exactly? It ran out of the Storage Space?
Did that so-called flower seed have its own consciousness?
Seeing this, Long Qingxie also frowned tightly, an amazed look on his handsome face.
Clearly, he also didn't know what was happening.
”Let me get it back first. You stay here,” Long Qingxie didn't know the reason why this weird thing had happened, but he must get that seed back.
Yun Wu wanted to say something, but Long Qingxie had already leaped down and flashed towards that lake in the middle of the valley.
But the moment Long Qingxie leaped down, it seemed as if some kind of tranquility was broken by something. A weird sense of crisis rose in Yun Wu.
”Click...”
'What was that sound?'
Yun Wu's eyes swept around vigilantly, but except for spiritual herbs and grass, she didn't see any magic beasts.
And then Elder White's voice was heard in her mind...
Yun Wu's purple pupils abruptly contracted and she immediately leaped off the rock.
”Long Qingxie! Don't touch those grass!” while flying downwards rapidly, Yun Wu yelled urgently.
But it was too late. The tips of Long Qingxie's shoes had touched the green grass.
In the blink of an eye, the green grass abruptly wrapped themselves around Long Qingxie's feet and started climbing upwards, as if they had just been activated by something.
Meanwhile, they revealed their hideous hook-like fangs beneath the leaves and snapped at Long Qingxie's feet.
Long Qingxie was stunned and soon reacted. Warrior defensive power shielded him in, fire elemental power surging in him...
Yun Wu also started throwing flames towards those grass around him.
”Give me your hand!”
Long Qingxie didn't hesitate. He ripped off those grass twining around him and raised his hand.
Yun Wu immediately stretched out her hand and pulled Long Qingxie off the ground.
The flame could only force those Vampire Grasses but couldn't hurt them.
”Click, click... ”
Horrifying sounds of fangs grinding rippled across the whole valley.
”These are Vampire Grasses. If you got entangled in them, they'll soon suck you dry,” looking at the rippling Vampire Grasses down below, Yun Wu said with a frown.
”Vampire Grasses?”
Long Qingxie frowned with a grave look flashing across the bottom of his eyes, ”It ranked the eleventh in the Ferocious Plants Class. Rumor says this kind of plant has become extinct several hundred years ago. It turns out that they not only didn't become extinct but also were planted by someone to protect these spiritual herbs.”
”No wonder there are no magic beasts around. With this spooky thing here, no creatures dare to come close,” Yun Wu said in a deep voice.
Then she cast her eyes in the direction of that platform in the middle of the lake.
She saw that the small red bean was on the top of the 1,000-year-old Flame Fruit surrounded by Vampire Grasses.
All Vampire Grasses had been woken up. Their wicked-looking fangs gleamed under the sunlight with grinding sounds.
Long Qingxie had never been a reckless man. The reason why he so eagerly wanted to help her get back that small red bean must be that he knew what it was. And it must be something unusual.
Originally, Yun Wu didn't care much about that small red bean, but now she had suddenly become interested in it.
