Nine Willow Trees
"A man-eating flower, it's huge! I don't remember man-eating flowers being this big," Zhao Ruo pondered.
Jiang Fang nodded. "The man-eating flowers of the past certainly weren't this big, but things are different now. After the RR Virus emerged, humans, animals, and even plants have all mutated. So I think it's normal for the man-eating flowers to grow bigger."
After listening to the two women's words, Qian Ye glanced at the man-eating flower. According to the original novel of Swallowed Star, this man-eating flower had become sentient and would actively attack people and animals, so it could be considered a Spirit of Vegetation.
However, it is not very useful, does not help the human body, and is even harmful. It has no medicinal value, so I don't bother with it.
However, in the original novel of Swallowed Star, this man-eating flower attacked Luo Feng, the chosen one of this plane.
Naturally, it goes without saying that they would also attack themselves.
Qian Ye naturally didn't take it seriously. It was just a man-eating flower. Even if it was a mutant, he could kill it in a second.
Squeak squeak squeak~
As the group continued deeper into the Mist Island, a strange sound suddenly came from behind them.
The martial artists among them possessed hearing, agility, speed, and perception far superior to those of ordinary people.
And with the group in high spirits and on high alert, they would draw their knives at the slightest sign of trouble.
As they turned around, sure enough, the Big Red flower behind them had opened its gaping maw and was lunging at Janet, who was walking at the back. 🍭💘 🐒🍩
Swoosh~
Janet reacted quickly, dodging the attack by spinning to the side.
With a swift stroke, he severed the stem of the man-eating flower, and the flower fell to the ground, motionless.
The man-eating plant was injured and trembled all over in pain.
The second and third carnivorous plants began attacking Janet.
For the time being, Qian Ye, Zhao Ruo, Jiang Fang, and Yao Rao did not show any intention of going up to help.
It wasn't that the three of them didn't want to help, but given the level of this man-eating flower, there was no need for them to go up and help. Janet could probably handle it, so there was no need to go to any trouble.
Swoosh~
Sure enough, Janet leaped and rolled to dodge the carnivorous flower's attacks, and then came several long slashes.
Bang bang~
The two carnivorous flowers were immediately severed by Janet's longsword and fell to the ground one after the other.
She smiled slightly, quite satisfied with her combat strength.
Regardless, she was still a Junior Wargod, so her strength wouldn't be weak.
Squeak squeak squeak~
Hiss~
However, a small carnivorous plant at the center of the plant suddenly attacked Janet in a flash of inspiration.
Unlike the three carnivorous flowers from before, this one, located at the heart of the plant, attacks faster and more fiercely. Its stem is also longer, more flexible, stronger, and more resilient.
Ta-da!
Janet dodged and slashed at the flower stem, but the result was completely unexpected; the stem was as hard as stone.
She tried to cut it several times, but couldn't break it.
Even an ordinary rock would be able to be cleaved in two by a Intermediate Wargod like her.
But it's impossible to cut through the stem of this carnivorous flower.
"Pretty sturdy!" Janet got serious, unleashing her true skills, and started chopping away...
Ta-da!
Hiss~
Finally, after Janet's repeated slashing, the main stem of the flower was finally cut off and fell to the ground.
The man-eating flower also fell silent.
Janet then rested, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Although she was a Wargod, killing this man-eating flower had taken almost all of her strength.
"It seems that the mutated man-eating flower is also very powerful, especially its main stem, which has amazing defense. Even Janet's knife and strength could hardly cut it off!" Jiang Fang exclaimed.
Zhao Ruo nodded, agreeing with her point of view, "Since the man-eating flower has mutated, do you think the other plants on this Mist Island might have mutated as well?"
"It's possible, and it's not. Well, firstly, carnivorous plants are predatory plants by nature. They actively hunt their prey, are extremely ferocious, and have incredibly strong attack power. It's quite normal for such plants to mutate."
Therefore, whether there are other plant hunters on Mist Island is currently unknown; it's all speculation.
"Yes, that's right..."
Qian Ye didn't join the conversation with the three women and continued walking into Mist Island.
He then activated his Divine Eye, intending to find the location of the nine willow trees.
On Mist Island in the original novel of Swallowed Star, besides the King Level Cloud Contact Vine Monster and the Emperor Level Tentacle Monster, the nine willow trees were the most eye-catching.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is that Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart.
The most precious part of them is the heart of the willow tree, which can help martial artists break through their bottlenecks after consuming it.
Moreover, Willow Wood Heart has almost no harm to the human body when consumed. It is not only an upgraded natural and good food ingredient, but it can also make people feel very comfortable after eating it.
It's the kind of food that's suitable for all ages.
Moreover, it is a natural food, does not require sterilization, and is beneficial to health and longevity.
Therefore, only the Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart and Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Wood Heart are truly valuable.
After a while, Qian Ye finally saw the shadow of the willow tree.
"This is a willow tree," Zhao Ruo recognized it at a glance.
As human beings on Earth, anyone with a normal memory can recognize the willow tree as one of the ornamental trees commonly planted in front of and behind houses, by ponds, rivers, parks, and roadsides.
Especially these weeping willows in front of me, they are all too familiar.
Jiang Fang glanced at them and said, "Hmm, there seem to be as many as nine, and the one in front of us is the largest."
Janet didn't speak, but she also carefully observed her.
Buzz~
Suddenly, Qian Ye's power surged, creating a barrier that enveloped the girls.
"Brother Ye, what's going on?" Jiang Fang asked, puzzled as to why Qian Ye would suddenly do this.
Zhao Ruo and Janet also looked at him, though they didn't know why he did it. But based on their experience, they knew that danger was approaching.
Moreover, this is quite dangerous; otherwise, with his strength, he could have easily defeated even Hong and Lei Qing. If it weren't dangerous, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
Based on this, the four women deduced with absolute certainty that danger was approaching.
After setting up the barrier, Qian Ye turned to the four women and said, "Yao Rao, Jiang Fang, Zhao Ruo, Janet, take a look and see if there's anything different about these nine willow trees?"
Zhao Ruo glanced at it and uttered a single sentence. "Around growth?"
"That shouldn't be the point," Jiang Fang said.
Janet immediately looked over. "That's right! There seems to be something special inside this willow tree; it's gleaming with a spiritual light."
Qian Ye gave Janet a thumbs up. "Great, you've finally hit the nail on the head."
"So what?" Yao Rao asked, puzzled.
"Hmm, Yao Rao, you should be familiar with the Spirit of Vegetation, right?" Qian Ye directly prompted Yao Rao.
