Chapter 352: Chapter 348: Nine-Heart Flower Demon

The people who had also taken up the mission for the Nine-Hearted Begonia were none other than Wu Yi, Wang Yun, and the others Bai Qi had met in the wild.

“Do these guys have some kind of grudge against plant-attribute ferocious beasts?”

Bai Qi stroked his chin, thinking about how the Explosive Beads Flower, which he had previously used to make potions, had also been their target. Unexpectedly, they had now come to Gusu City to undertake missions.

“These pampered young masters really have the luxury to roam around.”

Bai Qi clicked his tongue, noticing from the position displayed on the mission board that they had already left Gusu City.

“They’re in such a hurry. I’d better hurry as well.”

Bai Qi summoned his pet Delta and after determining his direction, directly broke through the void and left.

…

The outskirts of Gusu City.

Wu Yi stood at the forefront of their team, vigilantly scanning their surroundings, while the Goddess of Light Butterfly silently hovered above their heads, spreading specks of white light.

The light attribute of the Goddess of Light Butterfly could hide the human scent on them and also reduce the hostility of the ferocious beasts towards them. It was indeed a lifesaver in the wilderness.

“We should be near the territory of the Nine-Heart Begonia soon, Xiao Shi, be careful not to be affected by it.”

Wu Yi looked worriedly at Li Shi, who helplessly nodded and said, “Actually, Wu Yi, you don’t always have to accompany me, it’s enough with me and Wang Yun.”

“It’s fine, I’m usually pretty free. Plus, having more people helps. After all, the Nine-Hearted Begonia is a rare spiritual plant, and it’s not easy for the average pet beast to deal with.”

Wu Yi, unaffected by Li Shi’s words, confidently patted his chest and said, “According to the information, this Nine-Heart Begonia is only a Lord-level being, but it’s at the fourth level. It would be too hard for Xiao Shi and others to deal with, I can’t be assured to let you come alone.”

“Come alone?”

Wang Yun looked speechless at Wu Yi. Even though Wang Yun was one tier lower than Wu Yi, his Six-Eyed Monkey was capable of super energy abilities. Combined with Li Shi’s Diamond Mouse, they would have been enough to deal with the Nine-Heart Begonia.

But Wu Yi just stayed glued to them, like a piece of pesky sticking candy, impossible to shake off. Now, it even seemed like he completely ignored her.

Thankfully, He Jia was not there, or else she would have had to endure another bout of his sugar-coated boasting, which would have only annoyed her more.

The trio continued forward until they arrived before a sea of flowers.

This was the most beautiful area in the outskirts of Gusu City. The seemingly endless sea of flowers made this area very popular among young couples.

However, this only held true for the outskirts of this area.

The interior of the flower sea was close to the Dragon Qiong Mountains, where many ferocious beasts resided, so straying too close was risky.

But the crucial point was that the flower sea itself was home to many poisonous insects and aggressive plant creatures. The Nine-Hearted Begonia, despite its poetic name, was one of those plant creatures.

However, Nine-Hearted Begonias preferred to live in cooler regions, so they mainly grew in the outskirts of the flower sea close to Taize Lake. Otherwise, Wu Yi wouldn’t have dared to lead his companions on a hunt in this sea of flowers so casually.

Squeak squeak squeak.

Just then, the Diamond Mouse in Li Shi’s arms started to act out, struggling to free itself from her hold. The Six-Eyed Monkey also sensed something and looked towards the flower sea cautiously.

“There’s a ferocious beast!”

“I know.”

The Goddess of Light Butterfly, already aware of the approaching enemy, had transitioned to its combat mode. The originally soft white light surrounding it now became even more striking.

In an instant, a pillar of white light shot out. A spotted purple snake, darting through the flower sea, was struck by the white light and fell. Its body steamed with heat, appearing thoroughly cooked.

“Xiao Shi, you don’t need to worry. This small beast won’t be a problem.”

With a smug look on his face, Wu Yi took credit for the achievement, to which Li Shi managing a forced smile as a response, and then started to soothe the Diamond Mouse.

“Is this a Purple Spotted Snake?”

Wang Yun took a quick glance from a distance and recognized the snake’s identity, prompting her to frown.

“Purple Spotted Snakes are social creatures and they don’t like cold environments. They should be hibernating at this time, why would they venture here?”

“It seems…there’s something else coming.”

Li Shi pointed timidly to the distant flower sea.

Although there was no wind, the many different flowers within the flower sea were swaying continuously, appearing like a succession of waves.

Through the gaps between the flowers, one could occasionally see the shadows of purple figures shooting past.

“It’s a swarm of Purple Spotted Snakes. Everyone, beware!”

Wang Yun’s face turned serious. The Six-Eyed Monkey dashed forward, tearing apart several Purple Spotted Snakes with its claws.

But there were simply too many Purple Spotted Snakes. As soon as the Six-Eyed Monkey killed a few, dozens more emerged, with an endless stream of them pouring in from the back.

“Damn it, did we accidentally enter the territory of the Purple Spotted Snakes?”

Wu Yi gritted his teeth. Despite their numbers, Purple Spotted Snakes were of a lower level and shouldn’t cause much harm to their Lord creatures. However, the three humans themselves were unable to withstand them.

If a snake slipped by their beasts and accidentally attacked them, they would seriously be in a bind.

“Let’s exit the flower sea first. We’re too passive here.”

The three of them were now enveloped by the sea of flowers, unable to determine how many purple spotted snakes were lurking around them. Engaging in combat here would be anything but wise.

At the mention of this, Wu Yi nodded. The Goddess of Light Butterfly floating above his head suddenly emitted a bright light. The soft white light repelled the purple spotted snakes that tried to break through the blockade built by their pets. Protected by the light, the three of them began to run towards the edge of the flower sea.

The sea of flowers swayed, suddenly emitting a light beam that reached the sky. Amid the beam, multicolored lights flickered faintly.

“The light of evolution? A beast has evolved?”

Wang Yun and Li Shi looked at each other, while Wu Yi, who seemed to have thought of something, quickened his pace and started to run outwards.

“How unreliable is this intel from the association? They actually set a creature on the verge of evolving into a King-level creature as the mission target! I should issue a complaint when I get back!”

As Wu Yi complained, he summoned a pure-white unicorn and got on its back. Wang Yun also summoned her pet and, together with Li Shi, set off for the boundary of the flower sea.

With their resources, going up against a King-level ferocious beast was basically courting death. If they didn’t run now, they’d miss any chance of escaping.

However, before the three of them could get away from the sea of flowers, the evolution light in the flower sea suddenly vanished. In the midst of the flower sea, multicolored light rings emerged, overshadowing the Goddess of Light Butterfly’s radiance within moments.

“Damn it, it really is the Nine-Heart Apple.”

Seeing this, Wu Yi cursed under his breath. Runes emerged on his forehead, and the Goddess of Light Butterfly, which was about to be enveloped by the multicolored rings, suddenly shone brightly, revealing a cloned version of itself.

Talent: Duplication.

The ability to create a temporary clone of the pet at the expense of Spirit Power, which has the same level and strength as the pet. Afterwards, both the pet and the Beast Master go into a weakened state for three days.

Wu Yi was capable of becoming the top student in the professional examination because his abilities and talents were not weak, and this duplication talent played a huge role.

Though there were considerable side effects, if used at the right moment, it could have an absolutely strong effect.

With two Goddess of Light Butterflies protecting them, the colorful light rings were momentarily dispersed, and the three of them immediately accelerated outwards.

These multicolored rings only covered the flower sea. As long as they got out of the flower sea, they should be safe.

However, Wu Yi had underestimated the power of King-level creatures. Just when they were about to escape the flower sea, the multicolored halo condensed, and a huge apple flower shining with multicolored light appeared in front of them.

Looking at the flower demon slowly opening its eyes within the Nine-Heart Apple, a chill crawled up their spines.

[Name]: Nine-Heart Flower Demon

[Nature]: Plant Attribute

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking King

…

An evolved version of the Nine-Heart Apple, a King-level creature, the Nine-Heart Flower Demon.

“Damn it, if I’d known this would happen, I would’ve insisted that Uncle Li come with us!”

Wu Yi wore a grimace of bitter pain. There was originally a Beast Master accompanying him from his family, but he thought it would be inconvenient and consciously tried to avoid that person each time he went out. Now he was served just right, fully experiencing the cold horror.

The Nine-Heart Flower Demon also took notice of the three of them. As its grotesque face broke into a smile, the three of them launched an attack without a second thought.

In front of a King-level creature, scattering and running would only be in vain. It was better to give it a shot.

However, the three of them seemed to have been entirely within the Demon’s expectations, and no sooner had their beasts launched the attack than countless purple spotted snakes emerged from the ground, twining around each other and forming a serpentine wall, deflecting the attack.

The three pets were about to attack once again when they felt a flash of light before their eyes, and their bodies began to involuntarily lose control.

[Skill Name]: Nine-Heart Bewitching

[Skill Level]: High Level

[Skill Description]: The bewitching radiance can confuse the enemy and cause him to hallucinate.

…

Under the influence of Nine-Heart Bewitching, the Goddess of Light Butterfly and Diamond Mouse were significantly affected. However, the Six-eyed Monkey, having a lower level and belonging to the Super Energy Apartment, managed to come to its senses and roared as it charged towards the Nine-Heart Flower Demon.

Seeing this, the Nine-Heart Flower Demon’s expression turned hideous. A vine full of thorns pierced through the Six-eyed Monkey’s thigh from under its petals, forcibly dragging it in front of the Demon.

“Little Six!”

Wang Yun was alarmed at the sight. She was about to summon other pets for the rescue when she saw a huge figure descending from the sky, and its target was the Nine-Heart Flower Demon.

Boom!

The loud roar echoed through the flower sea. Wherever the force struck, the bodies of purple-spotted snakes were shredded. The pets that had been affected by Nine-Heart Bewitching also woke up.

“Did Uncle Li come after all?”

Wu Yi’s eyes brightened, and he looked expectantly at the figure obscured by smoke before him.

“Cough, cough… Delta, try to be a bit gentler when you land next time. It’s not good to destroy the flowers and plants.”

Bai Qi waved his hand to disperse the dust and smoke in front of him, looking at the stunned Wu Yi and the others: “Are you guys alright? Where is the King-level creature?”

Wang Yun’s eye twitched as she pointed to the Wind God Winged Dragon standing on top of the Nine-Heart Apple, not knowing what to say.

This guy was getting more and more abnormal.
