Chapter 450: Monarch Piranha Flower (2/2)
”No doubt about it, it is the Monarch Piranha Flower,” Bai Tianyi whispered, causing the others to be on high alert.
”The flower has noticed us long ago,” Hei Gou suddenly said. ”The rustling sound has followed us for a long time; it is clear that it has been waiting for us to reach the main body. It is not willing to even move for the meal.”
Xue Wei looked at Lin Xiao. ”Call out the Luan Birds,” he said, and while Lin Xiao was puzzled, he did as he was told.
The Luan birds flew above the heads of their owners, looking at the dense thicket of thorny vines in front of them.
Usually, these birds would chirp and fly about with happiness, but now there was an unprecedented seriousness in their eyes as they landed on the shoulders of their owners.
Xue Wei lifted his hand, and an intense flame appeared on his hand. This was no ordinary flame, but because of the many resources that Xue Wei had fed it in the Ascended's Realm, and because of the Vermilion Bird Flame, it had risen it's rank to that of a Divine Flame.
Feeling the heat from the flame, the vines trembled slightly, but they were not retreating. The stubbornness of the Monarch Piranha Flower was beyond Xue Wei's expectations, but it was even weirder that it had not attempted to attack them yet; as if it was just a protective layer that protected the main body.
Xue Wei felt that something was wrong, but he could not put his finger on what it was. He waved his hand, and a few fireballs flew towards the thorny wall, exploding upon contact and destroying a few vines.
He frowned. These vines were much more robust than he had expected. To be able to withstand his Divine Flame like this was no easy feat, so he made another fireball, this time much bigger than before, and threw it at the dense thicket.
This time, a big dent could be seen in the wall of the thorny vines, but not long after, these vines began moving and growing back as if they had never been injured before.
Xue Wei felt increasingly uncomfortable.
He was attacking what was known to be the most ruthless and intelligent flower spirit in the world, but it did not return any attacks.
”I believe something serious is happening inside,” Xue We said with a frown on his face. ”We need to destroy this wall.”
The Luan Birds understood his words and flew into the air where they began throwing one flame after another at the wall of thorny vines, and the others quickly followed suit.
Bai Tianyi was using his soul swords to chop down vine after vine, Luoluo was freezing them and shattering them into pieces, while Hei Gou was having fun with some bombs he had crafted.
Soon, the group had cut their way through the wall that had been blocking their advance, and what they saw on the other side caused them to gasp in shock.
