Chapter 452: Seed (2/2)

This was known as a flame, but it was not really a flame. It ignited their soul power and created a flame out of it. Still, soul power was the foundation of their cultivation base, so it was not something any spirit would do unless absolutely necessary.

”The Monarch Piranha Flower is evolving!” Bai Tianyi suddenly yelled. ”It has lured us here to be the food for its evolution! It will not kill us before the evolution is a success, and when it is, it will consume all our essence blood to stabilize its foundation!”

”The sword spirit is not useless,” Lan muttered to himself when he heard that Bai Tianyi knew precisely what was going on. He was also quite satisfied to see that they had used the Soul Fire, as it could help Xue Wei.

Xue Wei was at the forefront of the battle. He was the one who had pushed the furthest into the vines that were appearing like raindrops on a stormy night.

He had wounds all over his body, as the thorns on the vines were pricking his skin and shredding his clothes. Blood was flowing in a steady stream down his body, but his eyes were full of determination. He had to kill this Monarch Piranha Flower before its evolution was complete.

Xue Wei released his elemental abilities; the Wood element shrouded his body as he got ready to face off against the main body.

Life Scale Shield!

Green light slowly gathered around his body, and he found that the wounds were slowly healing. The Monarch Piranha Flower was not poisonous, so while the wounds were slightly deep due to the thorns' size, there was no real harm done.

Xue Wei finally reached the body of the Monarch Piranha Flower, and his friends were just behind him. The flower swayed in the wind, and it seemed that the vines attacked them with renewed ferocity.

Xue Wei was not to be stopped though, and while he had not changed his body shape to a dragon or bird, but stayed as a human, he still felt that this constant battle of attrition against the Monarch Piranha Flower's unending vines was the hardest battle he had fought in a long time.

But it was also exciting. Feeling how he was fighting for his life again, feeling that he could not avoid it, he bravely continued forward, gathering more wounds that marred his skin, but also held a maddened smile on his face.

The Monarch Piranha Flower started trembling slightly, and after a bit of time, it curled up in a ball. Green and red light began shining from the body of the flower, and a small seed appeared.

Xue Wei was stunned. What was this? Did the seed have any special meaning for the evolution?

Just as he was about to chop down the flower, the seed shot into his heart with speed so fast that he could not react to it, and it was not before he felt the seed grow root in his heart that he noticed what had happened.

Right after the world turned black.
