Ghostface Flower

"You idiot Bruce, this chest is clearly Mimic."

Xinyan spoke with a mocking tone, her lips twitching slightly as she watched Bruce being swallowed by the Mimic.

"You don't understand, getting eaten by Mimic is also part of gaining experience."

Bruce, whose head had been swallowed by the Mimic, spoke solemnly.

"But this is the twenty-first time you've been swallowed by Mimic."

Molly, who was holding the Holy Scripture, couldn't help but sigh.

"Gurgle~"

The Mimic made a swallowing motion, Xinyan seized the opportunity to skillfully kick Bruce in the buttocks. The powerful force sent Bruce completely inside the Mimic.

"Ouch!"

The Mimic opened its eyes wide and hurriedly swallowed its food, which made it feel nauseous. Without thinking, it gagged and vomited Bruce out.

"I've learned something new, young master. If you get swallowed by Mimic in the future, I can save you this way too. It's so convenient."

The Little Fool, who had been secretly watching with Li Yan from the shadows, blinked. She planned to put this novel rescue method to use next time.

"No, I'll get all sticky."

Li Yan frowned as she spoke. Normally, if the Mimic swallowed only a head, the head would just be sticky; but if the whole body were swallowed, that would be absolutely terrible.

Bruce, who was spat out by the Mimic, was disliked by Molly and Xinyan. After killing the Mimic, the two women kept their distance from Bruce was fixing his hair and clothes.

"Is it really necessary to keep this distance? I'm not going to use your clothes to wipe myself."

Bruce looked at Molly and Xinyan, who were far away, with a disappointed expression. They had been traveling together for several months, but his teammates still treated him like a wolf, completely different from the gentle, beautiful, and elegant female teammates he had dreamed of.

After wiping the drool off his body, Bruce followed Xinyan as they continued into the next level of the Underground Labyrinth.

Lightning Slimes, Explosive Lizards, Triangular Pythons —all sorts of Monsters were slain by the three-person team's seamless cooperation. Li Yan and the Little Fool, secretly watching from the shadows, munched on sunflower seeds.

"Isn't it interesting? The adventurers' unwavering spirit and perfect teamwork—if this were shown in a movie theater, it would be packed."

"What's a movie theater, young master?"

"A movie theater is a place to watch movies."

"Even the Little Fool wants to watch movies."

"I'll definitely do it next time."

The whispers in the shadows went unnoticed by Bruce's team. Having collected their loot, they cautiously entered the final level of the Underground Labyrinth.

Moss, ancient walls, a dimly lit final level, and dark vines enveloping the entire space above the ceiling. The thorny vines made Bruce cautiously observe his surroundings. He had an ominous premonition that the final boss of this Underground Labyrinth might be a plant-type Monsters.

"Sizzle!"

A whooshing sound rang out as a thorny vine mercilessly pierced towards Molly, who was dressed in a nun's habit. In a split second, Xinyan drew her greatsword from behind her back and, with her years of combat experience, precisely severed the thorny vine that had suddenly appeared.

"It looks like Ghostface Flower. This type of plant-based Monsters usually feeds on small animals and insect-type Monsters. If someone trespasses into its territory, it doesn't mind adding some nutrients to its diet."

Just by looking at the dark black vines, Xinyan guessed and revealed all the information about the other party.

"Those plant-type Monsters that are impervious to fire and sharp weapons, like the Midnight Hunters?"

Molly's face was pale. Looking at the vines twitching on the ground, she couldn't help but take two steps back.

"Immune to fire? Are there even plant-type Monsters like this?"

Bruce gripped his staff tightly, warily scanning his surroundings. He hadn't even noticed the vines suddenly thrusting towards him; if they had attacked him, he would probably be dead already.

"That's why it's so troublesome. The only way to deal with the Ghostface Flower is to cut its roots and destroy the root system to kill it completely."

Xinyan shouted with displeasure, swinging his greatsword again, severing the vines that attacked from the darkness once more. The entire Underground Labyrinth echoed with the sound of snakes slithering, as if hundreds of giant pythons were crawling.

"Damn it, young master, this guy has spotted us..."

Suddenly, other voices rang out in the darkness. Xinyan looked over warily and saw a handsome young man holding a whole swaying black vine, followed by a beautiful girl in a white dress.

"Who are you, and why are you following us?"

Thinking of how many unscrupulous adventurers had recently followed behind other adventurers for money and profited from their misfortunes, Xinyan's arrogance rose, and he spoke in a cold tone.

Molly gripped the Holy Scripture tightly and stood cautiously behind Xinyan, always on guard against him suddenly making a move.

Bruce was wary of a sudden attack from the Ghostface Flower, and he couldn't help but frown at Li Yan's behavior of following them.

"You've misunderstood. We're just perverts, no, just moviegoers who wanted to see your adventure. We've been watching your adventure the whole time."

"Whether it was the magician named Bruce being swallowed by the Mimic multiple times, or Miss Molly tripping and falling flat on her face, we witnessed it all."

"If we were truly hostile, we would have acted during that time."

Li Yan spoke with a friendly expression, explaining that the reason she was discovered was entirely because the plant-type Monsters, the Ghostface Flower, was too disgusting. This entire floor was its territory, and even magic that concealed its presence could not escape its sight.
